How to learn ancient poetry

For some ancient poems, the title is the eye of the content, such as Xin Qiji's "Xijiang" "Walking on the Yellow Sand Road on a Moonlit Night", the poem mainly writes about what the poet saw, heard and thought of on the yellow sand road on a summer night.

3. Grasp the key points and taste the images
The images in ancient Chinese poetry often express subjective feelings with the help of objective objects, such as flowers, grass, mountains, rivers, etc. Therefore, when we study ancient poetry At this time, we should also see through the appearance of these things to see the underlying emotions.
For example, in Wang Wei's poem "The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river", why is the "smoke" "straight"? Why is the "long river" "round"? In fact, this poem describes the perseverance and vigorous beauty of the beacon smoke at the frontier. At the same time, the word "yuan" gives people a kind and slightly confused feeling. This was also the inner feeling of Wang Wei who was excluded from the capital at that time.

For example, when Wen Tianxiang wrote "Crossing the Lingding Ocean", the Song army was besieged by the Jin army, and the Song army was in danger of defeat. Seeing all this, Wen Tianxiang, as a patriotic general who came into contact with him, said, "The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind is floating, and the life is ups and downs." "The rain hits Ping". However, due to the incompetence of the imperial court, he saw no hope of serving the country, and finally expressed his innocence with a saying that has been passed down through the ages: "No one has died since ancient times, and his loyalty will be remembered by history."
