Titu chengnan Zhuang

Make an appreciative comment
The whole poem consists of four sentences, including two identical and mutually reflecting scenes.
Scene 1: Seeking for Spring and Meeting Beauty-"On this day last year, in this door, people's faces and peaches set each other off." The poet captured the most beautiful and moving scene in the whole process of "seeking spring and meeting beauty" "Peach blossoms set each other off in red", which not only set a beautiful background for "peach blossoms", but also set off the radiant face of the girl, implicitly expressing the poet's infatuation and emotion, as well as the situation that the two sides were unable to communicate deeply.
The second scene: find again. It is still the season of spring, or the gateway where flowers and trees are in full bloom and peach trees are hidden. However, the "human face" that adds luster to all this has gone nowhere, and only a peach blossom in front of the door is still smiling in the spring breeze. The association of spring breeze peach blossom laughter comes from "peach blossom and human face reflect red" On this day last year, the girl I met unexpectedly standing under the peach tree must have a deep smile; Today's peach blossom, with a sad face and a smile, can only arouse the feeling of good memories of the past and the absence of good times. The word "return" contains infinite disappointment.
In fact, the whole poem takes "human face" and "peach blossom" as the running clues, and through the comparison between "last year" and "today", the poet's feelings caused by these two different experiences are expressed in a tortuous way. Contrast and thinking play an extremely important role in this poem. Because it is written in the memory of the beautiful things that have been lost, the memory is particularly precious, beautiful and full of feelings, which is a vivid description of "peach blossoms set each other off"; It is precisely because of such beautiful memories that I feel particularly disappointed to lose something beautiful, so I have the feeling that "people don't know where to go, but peach blossoms still smile proudly in the spring breeze".
Although this poem has some plots, legendary skills and even drama, it is not a narrative poem, but a lyric poem. "Skill" may contribute to its wide spread, but its typical significance lies in describing a certain life experience, rather than telling a story that people are interested in. It explains a common life experience: when you accidentally meet something beautiful, you deliberately pursue it, but you can't get it back. This may be one of the reasons why this poem has maintained its enduring artistic vitality.
"Seeking Beauty in Spring" and "Seeking Nothing Again" can be written as narrative poems. The author didn't write it like this, but it just shows that Tang people are more accustomed to feeling the events in life with the eyes and feelings of lyric poets.
