In Crossing the Xiangjiang River, "a trip to the garden in the evening to worry about the past" is to recall the past spring outing from the spring scenery in front of you. Why do poets use the word "sadness"?
Contrast and contrast are used throughout this poem. The first two sentences of the poem are the comparison between the present and the past, the comparison between sadness and joy, the comparison between the past and spring, and the comparison between visiting the park and sorrow; The last two sentences of the poem are the contrast between people and things, the contrast between the south and the north, the contrast between Beijing and the countryside, the loss of Xiangjiang River and the contrast between Sri Lanka and the north. Sad past: The author revisited his old place and felt sad because he was exiled again. Du has been demoted twice, and now he is demoted to Fengzhou, a very remote place in the south. This poem is believed to have been written by him during his exile. When he crossed the Xiangjiang River to the south, it was already spring, birds and flowers were singing, welcoming people. When he saw the river surging and flowing in the opposite direction to his journey, he couldn't help but think of his past trip, miss Beijing and feel sad and disappointed. This is an impromptu lyric work, which is the masterpiece of Du Qiyan's quatrains.
The first sentence of the poem, "I'm sorry that my past trip in the garden was later in the day", is to recall my past spring outing because of the spring scenery in front of me. At that time, spring was late, and the gardens were embroidered with beautiful scenery, which should be refreshing. However, here, the word "sadness" is used when tracing the "journey of the past". This kind of sorrow is today's sorrow, and it is a joy that dates back to the past from today's sorrow; On the other hand, it can be said that it is because of the thought of the amusement at that time that the present situation is even more tragic. Wu Qiao said in "Poems Around the Furnace": "Emotions can be moved from one place to another, and places can also feel the same." This poem is to move the past with the present mood and inject the sad mood into the happy scene of the past.
