Appreciation of the ancient poem "Chongyang Banquet with White Chrysanthemum"

White Chrysanthemum at Chongyang Banquet

Tang Bai Juyi

A yard full of golden chrysanthemums with a bunch of flowers in the middle, the flowers are so lonely.

Just like today's feast, the old man went to the place where the young man went.

Make an appreciative comment

Bai Juyi's poem "Chongyang Banquet with White Chrysanthemum" is novel and unique, with rich words. The author of the first sentence and the second sentence of this poem felt infinite joy when he saw a white chrysanthemum in the Jin Ju in the garden. The third and fourth sentences are figurative and anthropomorphic, comparing the white chrysanthemum to an' old man' attending a song and dance banquet, singing and dancing with teenagers. The whole poem expresses the poet's interest in his youth, even though he is old. It is interesting to compare people with flowers.
