Creation background

This poem expresses the homesickness of women in the family for their expeditionary husbands. The whole poem describes a city with a moonlight like silver. The surface is calm, but the sound of rags contains the pain of thousands of families. The autumn wind is endless, and it also places deep affection on the border.

To sum up a sentence is the expectation of the boudoir and a person's voice. In the poem, the moonlight of thousands of miles, the hooves of thousands of families, the magnificent and bright scenery, long-term thinking and the hope of stopping the expedition combine to form a touching artistic conception.

Boldness is the main feature of Li Bai's poems. In addition to the factors of ideological character and talent, the artistic expression and genre structure used in Li Bai's poems are also important reasons for his bold and elegant style. Being good at relying on imagination and being subjective and objective are the important characteristics of romantic artistic techniques in Li Bai's poems. Almost every article has imagination, and some even use a variety of imagination throughout.

Realistic things, natural landscapes, myths and legends, historical allusions and dreamland have all become the media of his imagination. With the help of imagination, we often transcend time and space, interweave reality with dreams and fairyland, and interweave nature with human society to reproduce objective reality. The images in his works are not the direct reflection of objective reality, but the externalization of his inner subjective world, which is the truth of art.

One of the artistic techniques of romanticism in Li Bai's poems is to skillfully combine personification with metaphor, empathize with things and compare things with people. Another romantic artistic technique in Li Bai's poems is to grasp a certain feature of things and boldly imagine and exaggerate on the basis of real life.
