Li Bai's "Emei Mountain Moon Song": In the first half of the autumn of Emei Mountain, the Qiang River fell flat; In the evening, Qingxi went to the Three Gorges, but the four gentlemen did not see Yuzhou.
The Seven-character quatrain of the Moon Song on Mount Emei is a poem written by Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty. The poem says: "In the first half of autumn, Mount Emei fell into the Pingqiang River. Qingxi went to the Three Gorges at night, and the four gentlemen did not see Yuzhou. " Depicted a beautiful night view of Mount Emei. There is also a song of the same name "Emei Mountain Moon Song".
This poem comes from the eighth volume of the Complete Works of Li Taibai. Li Baichu, a teenager, made it when he left Shu, about 725 years ago (the 13th year of Kaiyuan). The whole poem has clear artistic conception, simple language and smooth rhyme. Tang poetry notes: "Jun refers to the moon. In Emei, the moon reflected in the river, and because of the clear moonlight, I arrived at the Three Gorges, but suddenly there was no moon and the ship had gone straight to Yuzhou. The charm of poetry is unique. " Wang Shizhen in Ming Dynasty commented: "This land is too white, and there are Emei Mountain, Pingqiang, Qingxi, Three Gorges and Yuzhou among the 28 characters. It's hard to find a trace, and it's very good to see the beauty of this old furnace hammer. " This poem was written by young Li Baichu when he was far away from Sichuan, with clear artistic conception, simple language and smooth rhyme. The poem begins with "Emei Mountain Moon", pointing out that the season of traveling far away is in autumn. The word "autumn" is upside down at the end of the sentence because of its rhyme. Autumn is crisp and the moonlight is bright ("autumn moon is bright"). The word "autumn" also describes the beauty of moonlight, which is natural and wonderful. The moon is only "half a circle", which reminds people of the beautiful artistic conception of the castle peak spitting the moon. There is Pingqiang River in the northeast of Emei Mountain, now Qingyi River, which originates from Lushan County, Sichuan Province, flows to Leshan County and joins Minjiang River. The second sentence "shadow" refers to the shadow of the moon, and the verbs "enter" and "flow" form a linked predicate, indicating that the shadow of the moon is reflected into the river and goes with it. Life experience tells us that no matter how the river flows, the moon shadow in the water is fixed. "When the moon is gone, I will go." Only when the viewer goes down the river will he see the wonderful scenery of "shadow into the river" Therefore, this sentence not only describes the beautiful scenery of Qingjiang River reflected by the moon, but also describes the darkness of sailing in autumn night. Artistic conception can be described as ethereal and wonderful. There is someone in the second sentence, and the person in the third sentence has appeared: he is leaving Qingxi Station overnight, entering the Minjiang River and heading for the Three Gorges. Young people who "go to the countryside with swords and shadows and leave their loved ones to travel far away" will be reluctant to leave their hometown. Seeing the moon on the river is like seeing an old friend. However, the bright moon is not an old friend after all. I can only "look up at the bright moon and send my feelings for thousands of miles." The last sentence, "I miss you, but I can't see Yuzhou", can be described as infinite separation. Emei Mountain-Pingqiang River-Qingxi-Yuzhou-Three Gorges, the picturesque landscape gradually unfolds a picture of the Shu River for readers. Apart from the "Emei Mountain Moon", there is almost no more specific description of the scenery in the poem; Except for the word "four kings", there is no lyric. However, the artistic image of "Emei Mountain Moon" runs through the whole poetic realm and becomes a catalyst for poetry. It has rich implications: the mountains and the moon accompany Wan Li, which can be seen every night, making the feeling of "missing you" deeper and deeper. The bright moon is approachable and unattainable, which is a symbol of missing friends. Where there is a bright moon singing, where there is a feeling of missing friends in the river, which is intoxicating. Originally, the expression of time and space changes in short quatrains is quite limited, so the general writing method is not to transcend time and space at the same time. The time and space span expressed in this poem is really free. There are five place names in twenty-eight words, and the word * * * is twelve, which is unique among the ten thousand quatrains in the Tang Dynasty. It means "four words in the place name are five, and the ancient and modern eyes are the last words, and they never tire of repeating them" (in Wang Linzhou's language). The reason is that the poet's experience of swimming in the river and his yearning for his friends are permeated in the poetic realm, and the symbolic artistic images of mountains and moons are everywhere, unifying a vast space and a long time. Secondly, the treatment of place names is also full of changes. "Emei Mountain Moon" and "Pingqiang River" are names attached to the scenery, but they are empty; "Faqingxi", "Going to the Three Gorges" and "Xiayuzhou" are all practical, but their positions in the sentence are also different. I can't feel the trace when I read it. It's wonderful in chemical engineering. Wherever the poem chants the bright moon, it is intoxicating to express the feelings of missing friends in the river. The poetic realm is permeated with the poet's experience of swimming in the river and his yearning for his friends. The symbolic artistic images of mountains and the moon run through everywhere, unifying the vast space and long time.
