Appreciation of Ge Xiyi
Wang Anshi
The moon is in a daze, and Yi Deng shines on the autumn bed.
Feel the wind and dew early when you are sick, and I don't know how long the mountains and rivers are.
I feel generous when I am old, but I feel sad when I look at the world.
Cicada is even more confusing to pedestrians' ears, holding semi-yellow sparse tung leaves.

Brief analysis
This poem is about the lonely and desolate situation of spending the night in the post office, which embodies the poet's feelings of worrying about the country and the people.
The first couplet tells the lonely scene of autumn night, with the faint moonlight "sitting by the door, sleepless". Who else can accompany the annoying dripping sound of a leaky kettle "like a palace leak adding seawater to Nagato for one night", "the residual lamp has no flame shadow" and "the cold window is blown by the dark wind"? In terms of conception, antithesis is very rich in the artistic conception of "I live alone in a water town". "I see my candle" in Du Fu's Sufu.
Couplets express the hardships of traveling and traveling and the sadness of homesickness, which is very delicate. Only careful people can feel that "the night in the sky is as cold as water", and it is really too early to fall down on a lonely bed and be ill in bed. Duijie used a sentence from Cen Can, "You can sleep on a pillow and go to the south of Wan Li". Although the dream is too vague, it has the joy of family reunion. The most embarrassing thing is that after waking up from a dream, "I have added new worries since then." Travel every autumn, get sick on the way, and feel the wind and dew early. Isn't there the pain of "there are plenty of fish in the sea"?
Couplets express the feelings of worrying about the country and the people. Although the sentence is not as affectionate as Du Fu's "petals flow like tears", it also makes people sigh. Although there is no embarrassing situation of Fu's "being blocked and difficult to walk", isn't the bleak world at night also generous and unforgettable? The transition from the worry of traveling to the pain of worrying about the country greatly improved the ideological content of this poem.
The end of couplets is associated with the scene. The disturbing cicada sound adds endless feelings and bitterness, and the sparse and semi-yellow phoenix tree (the old saying that the phoenix knows the phoenix) is even more impressive.
This poem is deeply influenced by Du Fu's poems, but it lacks the aura of Du Fu's ups and downs.
This poem was written by Song Renzong in the second year (1050) when he went from Linchuan to Qiantang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang). This poem expresses the author's homesickness for traveling. The poet chose the scenes of the lack of moon, lonely lights, wind dew, cicada singing and sparse trees, forming a bleak autumn scenery and lonely travel situation, setting off sick pedestrians, thus showing the situation and mood of traveling alone. Ji Yun commented: "The old man is strong and steady, and his artistic conception is extraordinary. Three or four sentences are delicate, and the last four sentences are full of strength. "
[Appreciation] Ge is in Yiyang County, Jiangxi Province. This poem is about the natural scenery he saw in the post station, which caused homesickness and the feeling of being late at the age of 20, thus expressing his feelings for national affairs. At the beginning, I said, "When the moon is not full, Yi Deng shines on the autumn bed", and "Leaking" this ancient timing instrument means that the night is not full, and the night is already deep. The All-China Federation means that in the middle of an autumn night, the horizon is desolate without the moon. At the bedside of the hotel, there is an oil lamp, which is half bright and half dark. But neither the moonlight nor the lights are bright, but gloomy and bleak, showing the silence and coldness in the hostel. This is a good rendering of the environmental atmosphere for the lyrical description behind.
"When I was sick, I already felt the wind dew." When you are sick, you are most likely to feel the wind and dew invading people, and the climate changes early. "I don't know the length of mountains and rivers when I dream back" is a fake writing. When I dream of going back to my hometown, I don't feel that the mountains are high and the water is long. Here, returning home is just a dream. But it not only conforms to the dream situation, but also expresses homesickness in this way, which is better than the artistic effect received by realistic writing.
"When I feel old, I sing generously. When I look at the sky and the earth, the color is dim." This is the meaning of the previous couplet. The last sentence is followed by "the wind is early", because I feel that I am 20 years old and I am generous and sad; The next sentence is "the mountains and rivers are long". From dreams to reality, the world is vast and desolate. The poem was written late and naturally desolate, which caused the author to lament and be generous. It can be seen that the real meaning of poetry is not only to write about the changes in nature, but also to write about the difficulties of state affairs. As a politician, Wang Anshi's thoughts are consistent with his political actions all his life.
Finally, I came back to write about the sounds of nature in autumn, "Cicada is more disturbing to pedestrians' ears, and the leaves of tung trees are half yellow." It is said that the noisy cicadas upset people on the journey, but the phoenix trees stopped by cicadas are half yellow. Does the cicada here have other meanings? Is it related to all kinds of obstruction and interference in his political reform? Combined with his experience in political activities, we can understand his language of borrowing things, which is meaningful.
