As a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu had many excellent works handed down to later generations. He once wrote a poem called "The river is like a green belt, and the mountains are like jade hairpins." The beauty of the scenery is fascinating. So do you know which place this poem describes? Do you have an urge to travel? Let's read the poem together, and then come and find this fairyland-like place.
The poem "The river is like a green belt, and the mountains are like jade hairpins" comes from the poem "Send Off to Dr. Yan in Guizhou" written by Han Yu. The complete poem is "There are green forests and eight osmanthus trees, and this place is in southern Hunan. The river is a green belt, and the mountains are like jasper hairpins. Many households lose green feathers, and their families grow yellow sweetness. It is far better than ascending to immortality, and the flying luan has no time to fly." Guizhou in refers to today's Guilin, located in the northeast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Since ancient times, it has enjoyed the reputation of "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" and is a famous tourist attraction at home and abroad.
This poem was written by Han Yu to bid farewell to his friend who took up an official position in Guilin. However, Han Yu had not been to Guilin at that time but he wrote such a beautiful poem. This writing method highlights the famous landscape of Guilin. So far away and fascinating. Du Fu also mentioned Guilin in "Tan of Five Yangs in Guizhou", but he also had never been to Guilin. It can be seen that great poets also yearn for such beautiful scenery.
We know from primary school textbooks that the wonders of Guilin's landscape lie more in its landscape. The poet Han Da's sentence "The river is a green belt, and the mountains are like jade hairpins" is the beauty of Guilin's landscape. Heqi is vividly described, and at the same time it also makes an extreme summary of the characteristics of Guilin's landscape, and has become a popular saying throughout the ages. Mr. Han Yu used the "green belt and jade hairpin" ancient women's clothing as metaphors to feminize Guilin's landscape, which is very appropriate.
