White hair as long as three thousands of feet, it is because of sadness that it grows so long. Somewhere in the mirror, autumn frost falls on my head.
Appreciate:
This poem is very vivid and vivid, with exaggerated metaphor.
"White hair and three thousands of feet, as long as sorrow." White hair as long as three thousands of feet, it is because of sadness that it becomes so long. The length of white hair is exaggerated to describe the depth of sadness. The sentence is abrupt and eye-catching, but it conforms to people's psychology and is appropriate. Excuse me, who won't feel endless when combing his white hair in the mirror, because when touching the wisps of "white silk", the emotion surge, how many old things will come to mind, the carefree happiness of childhood, the dry exploration of teenagers, the free and easy life of teenagers, the prime of middle age, how many things are worth remembering and how many things are worth regretting. While combing long hair, we are combing the ups and downs of life, but in the end. In fact, the sadness in their chests is more than "three thousands of feet", which is endless and never clear.
"I don't know where the autumn frost is in the mirror." I don't know where this autumn frost came from in the mirror. This metaphor of knowing perfectly well past asking is even sadder. You know that the "autumn frost" in the mirror is your white hair, but you dare not admit it. This feeling is like Xin Qiji's sentence "This is a cool autumn", but it is even sadder to say that I don't know.
Although this poem describes the sadness of white hair in his later years, it is still free and easy with a smooth pen. The exaggeration, metaphor and vivid images in the poem left a deep impression on people. An old man with white hair sat alone in front of the mirror, staring blankly at his white hair as if it were in front of him.
