Song of Makeup Feather is one of the poems of Bai Juyi, a poet in Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi is good at rhythm and description. His vivid description of dancing in a dress and feathers gives him a picture of dancing lightly. After thousands of years, people can still imagine the state of dancing in dresses and feathers, with soft lines and delicate feelings, which is intoxicating and intoxicating.
This poem can be roughly divided into three paragraphs. The first paragraph describes that the poet once saw "dancing in a dress" at an imperial palace banquet in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. The poet wrote: "There are countless songs and dances, and neon dance is the most wonderful." It can be seen that the poet attended the banquet more than once and watched many song and dance programs. But the one who impressed me the most and liked it the most was the first one to promote this dance.
Poetry appreciation
Beautiful words, subtle metaphors and appropriate allusions make this long poem a masterpiece with high value. For example, the phrase "It's light to float back to the snow, and it gives Youlong a surprise with a smile" describes the lightness of the dance, and compares the wandering state of the dancer when she moves forward with the shock of Youlong, which has a novel image. At the same time, he secretly used the allusions in Cao Zhi's Ode to Luoshen. Cao Zhi depicts a goddess, and Clothes Dance shows myths and legends. It can be seen that the use of allusions in white poems is by no means nonsense.
Another example is the phrase "Xiang Luan dances together, and the crane song ends in a long sound", which indicates the end of the dance. There are beautiful and colorful feathers on the wings of husband and wife, which are costumes symbolizing "dress dancing"; "Retracting wings" means retracting the unfolded wings, which is a metaphor for dancing. It reproduces the movements that were difficult to describe by image metaphor before, and makes people see the beauty of dance and the bright colors of clothes, forming a colorful dynamic picture.
