The sound of the village anvil and the flute separated by the wind means that the sound of the anvil beating in the village and the sound of the flute at the dock are separated by the vines in the wind.
In Li Shangyin's poem "Cold Night", a person sleeps alone in the West Pavilion. The night is cold and desolate. His heart is sad and full of thoughts. He is sleepless all night. The lover has gone and he used to sleep here together. , now alone. Things are different and people are different, and the sadness is infinite. In the past, it might have been a beautiful scene. Now when I look with sad eyes, I see the shadow of the moon, the village flute that never stops playing during the long night, and the dead lotuses that fill my eyes. Not only are the people and things different from what they used to be, how can I not be saddened by this situation? How could I sleep with so much sadness and melancholy?
With a unique perspective, the poet incorporates residual lotus, withered lotus and decayed lotus into poetic imagery, giving them new connotations. After the death of his beloved wife, the poet heard the sound of the flute late at night, and the sadness of separation instantly filled his heart, adding an infinite sense of sadness. The image of lotus is a portrayal of the loneliness and desolation in the poet's heart.
Poet's evaluation:
A poet in the Tang Dynasty, in the late Tang Dynasty and even in the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin was one of the few authors who deliberately pursued poetic beauty. Li Shangyin was good at poetry writing, and his parallel prose was also of high literary value. Together with Du Mu, he was called "Little Li Du", and together with Wen Tingyun, he was called "Wen Li". His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems, which are sentimental, beautiful and moving, and are widely read. However, some poems are too obscure and confusing to be understood. There is a saying that "poets always love Xikun and hate that no one writes Zheng Jian."
