The whole poem is as follows:
The sleeves are fragrant, and the red fragrance lingers in autumn smoke.
The wind shakes on the light cloud ridge, and the tender willow pond splashes.
The sleeves danced, causing a fragrant wind, and the fragrance of clothes and body drifted away. Slender and gentle figure, slim and graceful, like a red lotus swaying in the autumn fog. The body and arms dance slowly, like light clouds just blown out of the valley by the wind, and like soft willows when the breeze rises. The water in the pool is low and the shadows are reflected in the water.
Poetry appreciation
When dancing, Zhang waved his sleeves and danced lightly, smelling good. I have to say that this beginning is very clever and realistic. When the dancer dances, as the body begins to dance, the fragrance of the body is scattered. The dance has not yet begun to appreciate, and the smell is fragrant, and it is moving from vision to smell.
"Red rainbow curled up autumn smoke", red rainbow: red lotus, pink lotus. That slender and gentle dance, like a red lotus, swayed in the light smoke of early autumn. Such a scene is jaw-dropping. Dance is compared with red stripes, dancing smartly in light smoke, which makes people feel the beauty of dancers and dances.
When dancing, sudden movement changes are normal. Yang Guifei wrote this change: dancing is like gathering white clouds and the wind is blowing suddenly. Suddenly Shaking the Wind vividly shows that she suddenly asks questions and dances, giving people an unexpected sense of surprise. The mood of the audience seems to change with the dancer's sudden movements.
Like most female poets, Yang Guifei's poems are very soft, and the last sentence says that Zhang's dance is like a green willow beside a pool brushing the calm water. "Tender willow" is a metaphor for the petite beauty of dancers, and "splashing water" refers to long sleeves and dancing across the smooth ground frequently, just like "tender willow" splashing infinite ripples on the water in the pond. This image shows the softness of Zhang's dance.
