Poems using puns
1. Untitled Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin
It is difficult to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered.
Spring silkworms will not run out of silk until they are dead, and wax torches will turn to ashes before their tears dry up.
When you look into the mirror at dawn, you are worried about the clouds on your temples. When you sing at night, you should feel the cold moonlight.
There is not much way to get to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent in visiting.
Appreciation: The word "Si" in "Spring Silkworms will spin silk only when they die" is homophonic with "Si". The whole sentence means that one's longing for the other person is like a Spring Silkworm spinning silk until it dies.
2. Bamboo Branch Poems Tang Dynasty: Liu Yuxi
The willows are green and the Qingjiang River is level, and I hear the sound of people stepping on the Langjiang River.
The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. There is no sunshine but there is sunshine.
Appreciation: The sunrise in the east is "sunny", while the rain in the west is "not sunny". "Sunny" and "love" are homophonic. "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west." On the surface, it is an explanation of "sunny" and "no clear", but in fact it is a metaphor for "sentiment" and "ruthless".
3. Hearing the flute in Luocheng on a spring night Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
The sound of someone’s jade flute spreads into the spring breeze and fills Luocheng.
Hearing the broken willows in this nocturne, no one can forget the love of his hometown.
Appreciation: "Liu" is homophonic to "Liu". When the ancients bid farewell to relatives and friends, they would break willow trees and give them to each other to express nostalgia and commemoration. Breaking willows is not only a custom, but also represents a scene and an emotion.
4. Poems of Nange by Wen Tingyun
Lighting a lamp at the bottom of the well, a candle is deep in the well, and the wise man is always playing chess instead of playing chess.
The exquisite dice are decorated with red beans, and I miss you deeply.
Appreciation: It turns out that the light at the bottom of the well must be a candle in the depths. And "deep candle" is a metaphor for "deep instructions". "Yi" is a personal pronoun, which means "you" here. "Shenzhuyi" means "I urge you very sincerely."
5. Impressions of reading books Song Dynasty: Zhu Xi
Half an acre of square pond is opened, the sky is light and the clouds are shadowed* **Wandering.
Ask him how clear he is? Come for living water from a source.
Appreciation: Especially in the two sentences "Ask the canal how clear it is, because there is a source of living water", the word "source" is a pun. The reason for the clarity of the water is because there is a source of living water constantly pouring in, which is a metaphor for people. If you want to have a clear mind, you must read carefully and add new knowledge from time to time.
