Maid-in-waiting is like a flower in Man Chun Hall, but only partridges are flying today.
This is a nostalgic work, that is, the poet visited Yue Zhong (Tang Yuefu, now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) and wrote it down because of the famous events in its ancient history. During the Spring and Autumn Period, wuyue and China competed for southern hegemony and became feuds. Gou Jian, King of Yue, was defeated by Fu Cha, King of Wu in 494 BC, and returned to China, where he avenged himself. In 473 BC, he destroyed the State of Wu. This is the content of this poem.
Poetry is not a historical novel, and quatrains are also different from long poems, so poets can only choose the part of this historical event that they feel most deeply to write. He chose not a fragment in the long process of this struggle, but two scenes after the defeat of Wu State and the return of the King of Yue. The first sentence pointed out the meaning of the problem and explained the specific content of the historic site. Write two or three sentences about soldiers returning home and Gou Jian returning to the palace. Destroy the enemy, avenge the shame, and all the soldiers are happy; Now that the war is over, everyone has been rewarded. They are not wearing real armor, but jinyi. Only the word "Jinyi" can make the King of Yue and his soldiers come back proudly, full of the joy and pride of the winner. After the King of Yue returned to China, he was ambitious, not only boasting, but also enjoying it. As a result, beautiful women filled the palace, surrounded him and waited on him. The word "spring" in "Spring Temple" should be "flower-like" to describe beautiful times and scenes, not necessarily spring. Only by writing this point can we fully express the past of the King of Yue who worked so hard to make a living. The city is full of golden warriors, and the palace is full of maids. This is so prosperous, beautiful, lively and happy, but the sentence suddenly turns and everything written on it is erased. What is the victory, power, wealth and splendor that once existed in the past? All people can see is a few partridges flying around the old site of the city. This sentence describes the change of personnel, the impermanence of ups and downs, which is amazing. Rulers of all ages hoped that their wealth and splendor would be the inheritance of future generations, but the poem truthfully pointed out the disillusionment of this hope, which is its positive significance.
Through specific scenery, the poem contrasts the prosperity of the past with the desolation of today, which makes readers feel particularly profound. Generally speaking, it is difficult to highlight an environment directly, but through comparison, the effect can often be greatly enhanced. Therefore, it is even more deplorable to describe desolation through lively scenes. The contrast between the past prosperity written in front of this poem and the present desolation written behind it is extremely strong. The harder you work in front, the more powerful you will be behind. In order to fully express the theme, the poet also made arrangements for the artistic structure of this poem that are different from the general seven wonders. Generally speaking, the turning point of the Seven Wonders is arranged in the third sentence, but the first three sentences are all in an angry state, and it is not until the fourth sentence suddenly turns to the opposite side that it is particularly powerful and energetic. This kind of writing is not a poet with rich brushwork, so it is difficult to write freely.
Li Bai also wrote a nostalgic poem "Tai Su's Visit to the Ancient Times", which can be compared to: "The old garden is deserted, and Yang Liuxin and Ling Ge's oratorios can't be sung in spring. Today, only Xijiangyue has taken care of people in Wugong. " Tai Su, or Gusutai, was a playground for Fu Cha, King of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, so it is located in Suzhou, Jiangsu today. As soon as this poem came up, it was written about the ruin of Wuyuan and the desolation of Suzhou and Taiwan, and the changes in personnel and the impermanence of prosperity and waste were all comfortable in it. Then the willow sprouted again in spring, and the willow was green, as old as ever, and new every year. The contrast between "new" and "old", the unchanging scenery and the ever-changing personnel have deepened the feelings of mourning for historical sites. In a word, compare two different things and write the ups and downs of ancient and modern times, which is simple and natural. The second sentence is followed by the present scenery. In addition to the green willows, there are some women singing soul songs, echoing the melody of singing in the infinite spring. The willows have changed their leaves, the boatswain is singing spiritual songs at leisure, the old garden is deserted, and there is still boundless spring scenery. The former palace and beautiful women are singing, but everything has vanished. Therefore, the last two sentences point out that only the bright moon hanging on the river flowing from the west is eternal; Only when she has seen the prosperity of Wu Palace, and seen such figures as Fu Cha and Shi at that time, can she become a witness of history.
These two poems are both about visiting the ancient times, with the same theme and similar themes, but the one in the middle of the poem focuses on describing the prosperity of the past, trying to use three-quarters of the space to render it, and using a conclusion to write today's desolation, so as to erase it and reverse Gan Kun. Tai Su's poems focus on today's desolation, implying the prosperity of the past, setting off the fickle personnel with the natural scenery that is always new in the past and present, and seeing the ups and downs of the past and present, so their expressions are different. From here, we can also see the poet's various artistic skills.
There should be 400 words.
