The sea embraces the land-melodious songs come from the distant Emei Mountain.

When I hear the sound of Matsutani, I wave my hand at will.

The sound of the bell rang, and it turned into a frosty bell. My heart was quiet, as if it had been washed with water.

Unconsciously, dusk enveloped the castle peak, and the autumn clouds were bleak, covering the dusk sky.

Rhyme translation:

Sichuan monks play the famous piano, Qing Qi,

He is from Mount Emei in Bashu.

He waved and played a famous song for me.

I seem to hear the mighty wind and waves.

Mountains and rivers wash away feelings,

The lingering sound melts the autumn frost bell.

Unconsciously, the castle peak was shrouded in dusk.

Autumn seems to be a few degrees lighter!

These five laws are about listening to the piano and listening to a monk named Jun in Sichuan. The first two sentences: "The monks in Shu went down to Emei Mountain in the west, carrying the box of green silk lute." It shows that this pianist came down from Emei Mountain in Sichuan. Li Bai grew up in Sichuan, and the wonderful landscape in Sichuan nourished his magnificent soul and inspired his artistic imagination. Mount Emei appeared in his poems more than once. He has always missed his hometown, and of course he is very kind to pianists from his hometown. Therefore, at the beginning of the poem, it means that the person who plays the piano is his own countryman. "Luqi" was originally the name of a piano. In the Han Dynasty, Sima Xiangru had a piano named Luqi, which was used here to refer to a valuable piano. In just ten words, "A monk in the middle of Sichuan carries a violin case and goes down to Mount Emei in the west", which makes the musician graceful and expresses the poet's admiration for him.

Three or four sentences describe Shu monks playing the piano correctly. "Waving" is the action of playing the piano. Ji Kang's Fu Qin said: "Boya waved and listened to the clock." This is where the word "wave" comes from. "When I touch the strings, it brings me the breath of thousands of pines." These two sentences use the grandeur of the sound of nature to compare the sound of the piano, which makes people feel that the sound of the piano must be extremely powerful.

"I heard him in Qingxi", literally speaking, means that after listening to the sound of the Shu monk's piano, a person's heart is like being washed by running water, carefree and happy. But it has a deeper meaning, including an ancient allusion. Liezi Tang Wen: "Boya is good at drumming, but Zhong Ziqi is good at listening. Boya played the drums and the piano, aiming to climb the mountain. Zhong Ziqi said,' OK, I am as tall as Mount Tai!' Determined to manage water, Zhong Ziqi said, "Well, the ocean is like a river!" "This is the story of' high mountains and flowing water'. Through the medium of music, it expresses the feelings of the monks in Sichuan and their own bosom friends. The word "I heard him in the purified stream" is subtle and natural. Although allusions are used, it is not difficult, which shows Li Bai's superb language skills.

The following sentence "ringing into the frost bell" is also a classic. "Frost Bell" is about Shan Hai Jing and Zhongshan Jing: "Fengshan ... has nine bells, which is to know first frost." Guo Pu's note: "The first frost rings, so you know what it says." The word "frost bell" points out the season, which echoes the following "cloudy autumn and sky" "The lingering sound into the frost bell" means that after the music stops, the lingering sound is integrated with the temple bell at dusk. Is there a "reverberation" in Liezi Tang Wen? , three days. " In Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo used "reverberation" to describe Dong Xiao's reverberation in thousands of feet's Fu on the Arm. This is the imagination of fascinated listeners who are immersed in artistic enjoyment after the music ends. The same is true of "ringing into the frost bell". The crisp and smooth sound of the piano gradually fades away, and the bell rings at dusk, only to realize that it is already late: "Although the mountains are getting dark and the autumn clouds have accumulated in the sky, I can't feel the change." After listening to the monk Shu playing the piano, the poet looked around. I don't know when it started, the castle peak was covered with dusk, and the gloomy autumn clouds overlapped and covered the sky. How time flies!

There are many excellent works describing music in Tang poetry. Bai Juyi's "Pipa Journey" describes the high and low sound of the pipa with the words "like a plate of jade pouring beads", which shows the unique dense and changeable sound effect of the pipa. Li Qiyou, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Listening to An Wanshan Playing the Reed Flute", which described the changes of music tunes in different seasons and different scenery, and appealed the auditory feeling to the visual image, and achieved good artistic effects. The uniqueness of Li Bai's poem in describing music is that there is no other metaphor to describe the sound of the piano except "Wan", but it focuses on the feelings when listening to the piano and the emotional communication between the player and the listener. In fact, the phrase "the breath of a thousand pines" is not a purely objective description. The poet's association from the sound of piano to the sound of pines and mountains and valleys is based on his own subjective feelings.

Rhyme pays attention to leveling, antithesis and strict meter. However, Li Bai's five laws are extremely fresh and lively, which seems to be effortless at all. In fact, no matter the conception, conception, knot, turn, or antithesis and allusion, it has been arranged skillfully, but there is no trace. This natural artistic beauty of "clear water produces hibiscus, natural carving" is more touching than all sculptures.
