Looking at Nautilus Island, I was pregnant with Mi Heng.

Wei is an octupole, while the ant view is a constant.

Huang Zudou is notorious for killing people.

Wujiang Fu parrots and writes excellent English.

I am so excited that I want to fly.

Storks peck at solitary chickens, and thousands of springs hurt my feelings.

Wuyue Fang, hidden and flat.

What can you do if you have a gift? If you are ignorant, you will be punished.

Up to now, Whelan can't bear to live in Zhoufang.

Cao Cao, the Emperor of Wei, was in charge of the world. Of course, he regarded Mi Heng as a little ant.

Huang Zu was so rude and cheap that he gave Cao Cao the notoriety of killing intellectuals.

Mi Fei wrote "Parrot Fu" here, and his writing style is outstanding.

Look at "Parrot Fu" again. It is full of words, beautiful lines, rhythm like bird singing, sonorous and forceful, and tactfully sad.

Those hateful birds besieged the lonely phoenix, a tragic scene that broke my heart and hated it for thousands of years.

It makes my heart soar like five mountains, and my mood is hard to calm down.

Where are the talents? Ignorant, dare to violate the scourge.

You see, up to now, Whelan has not been born on Nautilus Island, which is why heaven is crying for Mi Heng.

Make an appreciative comment

This is a nostalgic work. In the winter of 759 AD (two years) or the spring of 760 AD (the first year of Shangyuan), Li Bai wrote a long poem in Jiangxia, "After the chaos, Tian En Liu Yelang recalled the past and gave Jiang a good life as a satrap." The poem said, "One person is a blue cloud guest and three people are on the Yellow Crane Tower." Shame is not a Mi Heng, but a fake one on Parrot Island. "It can be seen that Li Bai worships Mi Fei very much. This song "Watching Nautilus Island with Mi Heng" may have been written at the same time.

According to "The Biography of Mi Fei in the Later Han Dynasty", Mi Fei rarely argued, but he was arrogant and domineering, and he was good at setting things right and dragging his feet. Kong Rong loved his talent deeply and praised him in front of Cao Cao. Cao Cao was humiliated by him and sent him to Liu Biao. Liu Biao couldn't bear it, so he sent it to Huang Zu, the satrap of Jiangxia. Huang Zu's eldest son, Huang She, attended a mainland meeting. When someone presented a parrot, he asked Mi Fei to write a poem to entertain the guests. Mi Heng wrote with a pen, without adding any words, with beautiful words, hence the name Nautilus Island. Later, Huang Zu finally killed Mi Heng because he was disobedient. Li Bai had a rough life. Although he had superhuman talent, he could not live in the world. At this time, he came back from Yelang's exile, looked at Nautilus Island and was moved by the scene before him, thinking of ancient Miheng.

The first four sentences of this poem begin with a description of Mi Fei, his character and tragic experience. Cao Cao Ran was famous all over the world for a while, but Mi Heng regarded him as an ant, which further highlighted Mi Heng's arrogant character. Huang Zu is a short-sighted man. He killed Mi Heng, which shows that he is narrow-minded and can't tolerate things, so he got a bad name.

Then four sentences, quoting Mi Fei's masterpiece "Parrot Fu", highly praised his outstanding talent. It is a great pity that such a talented person has such a tragic fate. Then lead to the following four sentences. The poet was indignant at what happened to Mi Fei. He compared Huang Zuzhi to a fierce bird and Mi Fei to a lonely phoenix. Mi Fei's massacre made the poet sad, like five mountains, and there was no peace.

After anger, there is infinite sadness. In the last four sentences, the poet regrets Mi Fei's failure to display his talents and laments his ignorance and punishment. Conclusion Whelan is personified and gives people a feeling. It seems that Whelan also feels pain for Mi Heng.

In this poem, the first eight sentences are nostalgic and the last eight sentences are vivid, expressing admiration and pity for Mi Heng and revealing the poet's deep resentment. Takamai-CHO's evaluation of this poem is: "This is based on the truth (meter scale), so it is extremely regrettable to express the painful words quickly, which is naturally too white." "(Poetry of Tang and Song Dynasties) This statement makes sense.

The characters portrayed in the poem are very refined, which captures the characteristics of the characters. Only a few strokes are used, and fewer are more than one, which highlights Mi Fei's aloof personality and superhuman talent. These two points are the outstanding points of Mi Fei, and they are also cited as the same origin by Li Bai. The use of artistic techniques such as metaphor and personification in poetry shows a strong sense of color. He compared people like Huang Zu to "storks" and expressed his strong hatred for the cruel and powerful people. Calling Mi Heng a "lonely phoenix" is full of affection and pity. Due to the proper use of these artistic techniques, the whole poem is vivid in image and profound in emotion.
