In the morning in Xiamen, the morning light is sprinkled on the sea, and the sea breeze blows over the fishing boats. On the balcony, the fragrance of tea rises and dances the charm of the ancient city. Qingshi Street is crowded with people and ancient buildings are hidden in the garden. The fishing fire flashes and the fishing song moves, and the night is covered with golden light. This is a poem with the theme of the morning light in Xiamen, which describes the morning light sprinkled on the sea, the sea breeze blowing over fishing boats, the bustling scene of people coming and going on the bluestone street and the ancient buildings hidden in the garden. The poem also depicts the night scene with flashing fishing fire and touching fishing songs.
This is just one of the poems about Xiamen. Xiamen's beautiful scenery and rich cultural heritage also provide poets with endless creative inspiration. Many poets have expressed their love and praise for Xiamen in their poems. They described the mountain and sea scenery, urban vitality and human history of Xiamen in their own unique way, adding poetic color to the city.
Speaking of Xiamen poets, the famous poet should be Lin Zexu. Lin Zexu (1785- 1850) was a famous writer, thinker and politician in the late Qing Dynasty. He was born in Changtai County (now Xiamen), Zhangzhou District, Fujian Province. Lin Zexu's poems mainly focus on landscapes, pastoral areas and historical sites, expressing his love for Fujian's hometown and Xiamen's natural landscape. His poems are fresh and concise, with profound artistic conception, and often express his thoughts on life and society with profound philosophy and feelings.
Traveling with friends in the courtyard of Zhongshan, it was first frost in the first half of the night, and the willows were warm. Suddenly, I heard Chu Tianzhong's teeth singing, the wind and the rain, the east wind and the west suddenly, and the thousand-year-old geese opened their hosta. Water, green rice, white clouds, find a gentleman and get tired. This poem expresses the scene of the poet and his friends visiting the courtyard of Zhongshan. The poem depicts the first frost season, when the warm sunshine shines on the weeping willows, and the poet feels the sound of Chu Tianqing's teeth singing. It describes the sudden wind, the flow of rain, and the intersection of east wind and west surge.
Besides Lin Zexu, there are other famous poets and their representative works in Xiamen that are worth mentioning.
