Analysis:
Li Bai seldom writes prose poems, but "On the Phoenix Terrace in Nanjing" is a famous prose poem in the Tang Dynasty. This poem was written after the author returned from exile and was forgiven. One said that it was written by the author when he was driven out of Chang 'an and went south to Jinling during Tianbao years.
The first two sentences are about the legend of Phoenix TV. Of the 14 words, three phoenix words are used, but they are not too repetitive. The syllables are lively and extremely beautiful. "Phoenix Terrace" is located on the Phoenix Mountain in Jinling. According to legend, during the Yongjia period of Liu Song in the Southern Dynasties, there were phoenixes gathering on this mountain, so it was built, hence the name of the mountain and the terrace. In feudal times, the phoenix was an auspicious symbol. Phoenix's visit symbolizes the prosperity of the dynasty. Now that the Phoenix has gone to Taiwan, the prosperity of the Six Dynasties is gone forever. Only the water of the Yangtze River is still flowing, which is natural and eternal!
Three or four sentences further develop the meaning of "Phoenix going to Taiwan". Wu and Dong Jin in the Three Kingdoms period were based in Jinling. The poet said with emotion that the once prosperous court of Wu was deserted, and the romantic figures of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had already been buried in the ground. What valuable things did the mysterious harmony of that moment leave in history?
The poet did not immerse his feelings in mourning for history. He turned his eyes to nature and endless rivers: "Three mountains and a half fall out of the sky, and Egret Island is full of water." The "Three Mountains" are located on the Yangtze River in the southwest of Jinling. The three peaks are juxtaposed and connected with the north and south. Lu You's Book of Entering Shu says, "Sanshan Mountain, Zishi Mountain and Fenghuang Mountain, is there a middle ear?" And after that, it's only more than 50 miles from Jinling. "Lu You's" presence or absence "just means" falling into the sky ". Li Bai wrote the half-hidden and half-present of the three mountains just right. " Egret Island ",the west Yangtze River in Jinling, divides the Yangtze River in two, so it is said that" Egret Island is divided into two waters ". These two poems are magnificent and neat, and they are rare good sentences.
After all, Li Bai is concerned with reality. He wants to see further, from Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, to Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. However, "a cloud rose between the light of heaven and me, hiding his city from my melancholy heart." These two poems have profound implications. Chang 'an is the seat of the imperial court, and the sun is the symbol of the emperor. Lu Jia's "Shen Xinyu Micro-essay" said: "Evil officials cover up the virtuous, just like clouds cover up the sun and the moon." Li Bai's two poems imply that the emperor is surrounded by evil spirits and he can't serve the country. His mood is very painful. The word "Deng" in the poem "See Chang 'an" is touching and sad, which means fable and has endless aftertaste. According to legend, Li Bai admired Cui Hao's poem The Yellow Crane Tower, and wanted to compete with the winner, so he wrote the poem On Ascending Nanjing to Phoenix Terrace. There are similar records in Tiaoxi Fishing in Conghua and Chronicle of Tang Poetry, which may be credible. This poem is Cui Shi's arch-rival. As Fang Hui said in Ying Kui Fa Jing, "It's not easy to learn from the rhythm." In terms of rhyme, both poems are interested in it and naturally rhyme. The language is also fluent and natural, uncut, chic and beautiful. As a masterpiece, Shi Li has its own characteristics. He wrote his own unique feelings, interwoven with historical allusions, immediate scenery and the poet's own feelings, and expressed his concern for the country and the people, with far-reaching implications.
