Jiangnan, the sound of green and red bloom, the waterside village in the foothills. This poem is from Jiangnan Spring written by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
In ancient Chinese, a thousand miles is an adjective indicating spatial distance, which means extremely far away. The poet used thousands of miles to describe the vastness of spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, rather than misusing ten miles.
In addition, from the perspective of rhythm and aesthetic feeling, in the poem "Thousands of miles of birds sing green and reflect red, and the flag of fruit wine in Shuicun Mountain", thousands of miles and birds sing, green and reflect red, Shuicun and Mountain fruit wine flag form a harmonious rhythm and aesthetic feeling. If a thousand miles change into ten miles, this aesthetic feeling will be destroyed.
The word "a thousand miles" is often used in ancient poetry, which can convey an open, unrestrained and open-minded emotion. In this poem "Jiangnan Spring", the poet uses thousands of miles to describe the vastness of Jiangnan and the intensity of spring scenery, and at the same time expresses his love and praise for the natural landscape and human landscape of Jiangnan.
If you change a thousand miles to ten miles, the artistic conception and emotion of the whole poem will become narrow and cramped. The use of thousands of miles can make readers feel the magnificence of Jiangnan region, and at the same time feel the poet's love and yearning for Jiangnan.
The poem "A Thousand-Li Birds Sing Green and Reflect Red" has a similar artistic conception or description:
1, the riverbank in Li Qian is full of green poplars, and the spring breeze blows flowers.
2, thousands of miles of barren hills and birds are not surprised, and autumn water is the same color.
3, thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains are cold, and autumn rain continues the night sky.
4. Thousands of miles of pine forests hide ancient temples, and morning bells and drums preach Buddhist sounds.
5, thousands of miles of peach blossoms, fragrant grass reflects the sun.
6. The original horseshoe disease of Senecio scandens, saury and cherry blossoms.
7, the Yangtze River flows endlessly, and the ancient road is thin and thin.
8. Thousands of miles of desert are uninhabited, and the smoke is curled up in yen.
9. Thousands of miles of glaciers reflect the moon, the wind is cold and the night is boundless.
10, Qian Shan is continuous, and there are boundless clouds in the painting.
