You are the April of this world

You are the April of this world

-Compliments of love

I said you are the April day of this world.

Laughter lit up the surrounding wind; Lightweight and flexible

Dancing and changing in the splendor of spring.

You are the cloud on the first day of April.

The evening breeze is soft, and the planetesimals are there.

Unintentionally flashing, drizzle sprinkled in front of the flowers.

That's lightness, that's elegance, and you are, Xianyan.

You are wearing a crown of flowers, and you are

Naive and solemn, you are the full moon every night.

After the snow melts, the goose is yellow, and you are like; fresh

The first green bud, you are; Gentle and happy

Water floats with white lotus in your dreams.

You are a flower and a swallow in the tree.

Whispering between the beams, you are love, warmth,

It's hope, you are April day on earth!

This is a ridiculous poem. The first couplet of this poem is about autumn scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, which shows the background of missing an old friend. At the end of the poem, I used the allusions of Yangzhou Twenty-four Bridges to tease my friend Han Chu. It means that Yangzhou, where you are located, is superior in the southeast. In late autumn, where can I teach jade people to play the flute for fun? Beautiful artistic conception, beautiful and handsome, full of interest, spread for thousands of years

The prosperity of Yangzhou, Tang Shiyan said, has left many well-known poems for it. This poem is melodious in style and beautiful in artistic conception, and has been circulated for thousands of years. I don't know who Han Zhuo is. There are two poems * * * given to him by Du Mu, and the other is Crying Han Zhuo. It seems that their friendship is very good. Du Mu served as an official in Huainan from seven to nine years (833-835) of Daiwa, and later became a minister in charge. This poem was written after he left Jiangnan.

The first sentence falls into ink and turns into a vision: the green hills are winding and hidden in the sky, and the green water is like a belt. The overlapping words of "faint" and "distant" not only depict a beautiful and graceful landscape in the south of the Yangtze River, but also vaguely imply the spatial distance between the poet and his friends. The melodious tone seems to ripple the poet's tenderness of missing the south of the Yangtze River. Ouyang Xiu's Walking on the Beach: "Worry is getting farther and farther, and the distance is like spring water", "Castle Peak is everywhere, and the layman in Castle Peak is even more", which shows the meaning of Du Mu's poem. At this time, although the season has passed the late autumn, the vegetation in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered and the scenery is still beautiful. It is precisely because of the poet's unbearable depression and neglect in late autumn that he is particularly attached to the green mountains and green waters in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is obsessed with his old friends who are far away from the bustling and flowery hometown.

There are countless beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and the most beautiful impression in the poet's memory is the scenery of "Seeing the Fairy on the Moon Bridge" in Yangzhou (Zhang Hu's "Tour of Huainan"). Haven't you heard that "there is a moonlit night on earth and a rogue has Yangzhou" (Xu Ning's "Recalling Yangzhou"), what's more, there are fairy-like beauties to see on the 24 th Bridge, a local scenic spot? Twenty-four Bridges, speaking of the original Twenty-four Bridges in Yangzhou, are also brick bridges in Wu Jia, which are named after twenty-four beauties playing flutes on the bridges in ancient times. "Jade Man" can be used to describe a beautiful and white woman, and it can also be compared to a romantic and natural wit. Judging from the practice of sending poems and the word "teach" in the last sentence, the jade man here should refer to Han Zhuo. The sentence "Suspected to be a Jade Man" in Yuan Zhen's Biography of Yingying can prove the usage of Jade Man as a talent metaphor in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. The poet was supposed to greet his friends, but he deliberately teased Han Chu in a playful tone and asked him where he taught prostitutes to sing and play for fun every night after autumn. In this way, not only Han Chuo's charming talent is faintly visible, but also their close and profound friendship can be revisited. In the teasing, the poet's gratitude for his "ten-year dream of Yangzhou and winning the notoriety of a brothel" is slightly revealed, thus adding a lot of charm to this poem. Du Mu is also good at putting this kind of ridicule in melodious, beautiful and handsome pictures, so although he writes eroticism, he will not become frivolous. This poem skillfully combines the beautiful legend of twenty-four beauties playing the flute on the bridge with the real life of "seeing immortals on the moonlight bridge", which objectively creates the trance impression that "Jade Man" refers to geisha and dancers. Reading and reading, people seem to see the beauty who plays the flute on the 24 th bridge shrouded in moonlight, just like a white and smooth jade man, as if they heard the melodious whistle floating in the cold autumn night in the south of the Yangtze River, echoing among the green mountains and green waters. Such a beautiful realm has already gone far beyond the original intention of teasing friends. What it evokes is not the dissolute life of romantic talents, but the infinite yearning for the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River: it is still so beautiful after the end of autumn, and how charming will it be when the spring is strong? This inner interest, exquisite thought, the sustenance of "unspeakable" and the reference to "the meeting of solvable and insoluble" (see Ye Xie's Original Poem) are the secrets of the success of this poem.
