The verses describing brotherhood are as follows:
1. I know from afar that my brothers are climbing high, and there is one less person planted with dogwood trees.
Appreciation: If you just generally recall how the brothers climbed high on the Double Ninth Festival and wore dogwood, and the poet himself was alone in a foreign land and could not participate, although he also wrote about his feelings of missing his family during the festival, it would seem ordinary. Straight, lacking novelty and affection. What the poet was thinking about was: "There is one less person planted everywhere with dogwood trees."
It means that the brothers who were far away in their hometown all wore dogwood trees on their bodies when they climbed up during the Double Ninth Festival, but they found that one brother was missing. He himself is not included. It seems that the regret is not that he was unable to spend the festive season with his brothers in his hometown, but that the brothers were not able to fully reunite during the festive season; it seems that his situation of being alone and a stranger in a foreign land is not worth telling, but it is the shortcomings of the brothers that need more attention. Thoughtful.
2. We are brothers all over the world, who is the traveler? What's more, I am connected with the branches of the tree, and I am one body with the son.
Appreciation: Two sentences describe that friends all over the world are as close as brothers and cannot bear to be apart. Here the poet cleverly uses close friends to convey that the word "brother" corresponds to the previous word "flesh and blood". At the same time, he also uses the separation of friends to set off the separation of flesh and blood in the later text. "I am connected with the branches of the tree, and I am one body with the son." The two sentences are successive and progressive, not only echoing the first sentence, separated and reunited, but also retreating and advancing, leading to the following.
3. Brothers are jealous of each other and guard their affairs from the outside. Whenever there are good friends, there will be no war.
Appreciation: From urgent to slow, from heavy to light, from inside to outside, it forms a hierarchical "inverted pyramid", which has a strong and far-reaching aesthetic effect. Secondly, the method of comparison is used to compare the different performances of "brothers" and "good friends" in the same situation, which further reveals the sincerity and depth of brotherly love.
Brothers are jealous of each other within the wall and resist their duties outside the wall. On a deeper level, even if brothers quarrel within the wall or encounter foreign insults, they will unanimously respond to the outside world without thinking. There is no transition between the two sentences of "Staying at the wall" and "Externally guarding their affairs". The changes in mood and behavior are instantaneous, which effectively shows that the love between brothers is natural and comes from the heart. This situation composed of a turning point has become an allusion and idiom that has been passed down to this day because it expresses the most selfless brotherly love.
