Poetry appreciation
This is a seven-character quatrain written by Philip Burkart on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival. In folk customs, the formation of Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history. The poet looks at the moon and sighs, but the writing is completely different from other Mid-Autumn poems, which is very creative and memorable.
Bai Shu Crow in the Atrium clearly describes the environment of enjoying the moon, but secretly writes the modality of the characters, which is refined and implicit. This sentence is like the first sentence in Ma Zhiyuan's "Tianjingsha Qiu Si". With the help of unique scenery, it suddenly pushes the bleak and desolate scene to the readers, giving people an unforgettable impression. The poet only uses the word "white" to write the moonlight in the atrium, but it gives people the feeling of being empty, quiet, plain and cold.
