The theory of going to the Phoenix Terrace in Nanjing is a famous poem in the Tang Dynasty. The first two sentences wrote the legend of Phoenix TV. Of the fourteen words, I used three phoenix words, but I didn't feel repetitive. The syllables are smooth, bright and beautiful. "Phoenix Terrace" is located on the Phoenix Mountain in Jinling. According to legend, during the Yongjia period of Liu Song in the Southern Dynasties, there were phoenixes gathering on this mountain, so it was built, hence the name of the mountain and the terrace.
The whole poem is as follows:
There used to be a phoenix on the phoenix platform, and the phoenix went to Taiwan, only Jiangdong returned.
Martial arts flowers were laid on deserted paths, and the number of relatives and friends in the Jin Dynasty has become a famine.
The mountains are shrouded in clouds, such as blue sky, and the river is divided into two.
There is always a traitor in power, like covering the sky, and Chang' an is depressed when he can't see it.
The translation is as follows:
There used to be a phoenix swimming on the Phoenix platform, but only when Phoenix went to Taiwan Province, the river was still flowing eastward.
The flowers and plants in the palace of Wu are buried in deserted paths, and many royal families in the Jin Dynasty have become abandoned tombs and ancient hills.
The fog of the three mountains is looming, like falling into the sky, and the river is divided into two by Bailuzhou.
There are always treacherous court officials in power, but Chang 'an can't see the depression in his heart.

works appreciation
The artistic features of Li Bai's "Going to Nanjing to Phoenix Terrace" are first manifested in its bold spirit. Qi, originally a philosophical concept, has been widely used since the pre-Qin period. Cao Pi's articles on Qi in Wei and Jin Dynasties took Qi as an important content and applied it to many artistic categories.
Although the theorists have different understandings of alignment, they are consistent in ideological temperament, personality spirit and artistic sentiment. "Climbing the Phoenix Platform in Nanjing" is obviously full of a vigorous and broad spirit, which makes Li Bai look at the past and read the present, instantly taking over the whole world, detached from things and writing freely.
