The white hair is 3, feet, and the sorrow is like a long one. I don't know where to get autumn frost in the mirror. -The Song of Autumn Pu by Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty.
The white hair is as long as 3, feet, and the sorrow in my heart is as long as this white hair. Looking at the shadow in the mirror, I don't know when and where my temples got this autumn frost.
this poem uses romantic exaggeration to express the poet's difficulties in meeting his talents. The first sentence, "White hair with three thousand feet", is wonderfully exaggerated, which seems unreasonable. It is impossible for a person to be seven feet tall and have three thousand feet of hair. I didn't understand until I read the next sentence, "The fate is like a long sorrow", because the sorrow is like this. "fate", because; "Long", so long. White hair is born of sorrow and grows because of sorrow. This 3,-foot white hair is a symbol of inner sadness.
By asking questions to myself, I further strengthened the description of the word "sorrow" and expressed the poet's difficulties that are difficult to solve. "Autumn frost" refers to white hair, which has a sad and haggard emotional color. This poem was written at the end of Tianbao in Li Longji, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was politically corrupt and the poet was deeply worried about the whole situation.
