Make an appreciative comment
Originally, the expression of time and space changes in short quatrains is quite limited, so the general writing method is not to transcend time and space at the same time. The time and space span expressed in this poem is really free. There are five place names in twenty-eight words, and the word * * * is twelve, which is unique among the ten thousand quatrains in the Tang Dynasty.
It means "four words in the place name are five, and the ancient and modern eyes are the last words, and they never tire of repeating them" (in Wang Linzhou's language). The reason is that the poet's experience of swimming in the river and his yearning for his friends are permeated in the poetic realm, and the symbolic artistic images of mountains and moons are everywhere, unifying a vast space and a long time.
Secondly, the treatment of place names is also full of changes. "Emei Mountain Moon" and "Pingqiang River" are attached to the scenery by place names and are useless; "Faqingxi", "Xiangsanxia" and "Xiayuzhou" are all practical, but their positions in the sentence are also different. I can't feel the trace when I read it. It's wonderful in chemical engineering.
