Strangely, some people praised it as "wonderful ancient and modern".

Li Bai's homesickness works, known as "the first homesickness poem in the ages", have touched countless people living in different places in ancient and modern times.

The opening sentence of the poem, "The bright line at the foot of my bed", can be described as plain and simple, which sets off the poet's loneliness with this quiet scene. In the writing of this poem, we can pay attention to the combination of psychological description and behavioral description. The word "doubt" in the second sentence points out the reason why the poet is confused. Because it seems to sleep without sleep, it seems to wake without waking, so it is easy to have illusions. This is the poet's longing for homesickness, so he is in a trance and his eyes are blurred. In the last two sentences, the poet wakes up from meditation, that is, "looking up" and "bowing down". Why do you want to "look up"? Because the poet later realized that it should be moonlight instead of frost on the ground, he had endless reverie, which was the homesickness expressed in ancient poems about moonlight, such as "looking up at the bright moon and sending affection to thousands of miles" He felt that it was not enough to look at the moonlight on the ground, so he looked up so that he could see it more truly and clearly, just like looking for the good wishes of his distant family from this bright moon. Looking up for a long time, the deeper I miss, the poet turned and bowed his head again. Why must we "bow our heads"? This is because although I have been looking up for a long time, I still can't get a little comfort from the bright moon. In desperation, I had to bow my head and meditate. If you express your feelings mercilessly, you will express your feelings. If you never intend to write, you will mean truth. Therefore, the poet turned his yearning for his hometown into a gesture of expressing affection for the bright moon. The bright moon on the head, the hometown in my heart, really has a special taste in my heart!
