Wang Dongting is the work of Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The first sentence describes the clear lake and the green light of the plain moon, just like the meeting in Qiongtian, which is an ethereal, ethereal, quiet and harmonious realm. It shows a harmonious picture of Tianshui and jade characters without dust. The word "harmony" has been refined, showing a harmonious picture of water and sky, jade and dust-free
Next, the lake is described as calm and misty, like an unpolished bronze mirror. The word "the mirror is not polished" vividly and aptly shows the calm scene of a thousand miles of caves, and there is a hazy beauty in the moonlight. "There is no wind on the surface of the pool, and the mirror is not polished" complements the poem "moonlight on the lake" with vivid metaphors. Because only "there is no wind on the pool surface", the water waves are calm, and the lake and the moon can be coordinated. Otherwise, there will be no "harmony" between the lake and the moon, because of the whistling wind and the empty turbid waves.
The third and fourth sentences focus the poet's attention on Junshan from the overall picture of the vast lake and moonlight. In Yin Hui under the bright moon, Dongting Mountain is greener, Dongting water is clearer and the mountains and rivers are integrated. It looks like a small green snail in a carved silver plate, which is very attractive.
In the last two sentences, the poet galloped his imagination and described the beautiful feeling of being there in a romantic style: as if he were in a fairyland! The poet observes everything in the world with the eyes of the soul, with strong feelings and obvious subjective colors.
The background of Wang Dongting's creation:
This poem by Wang Dongting was written by Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, in the autumn of the fourth year of Changqing in Tang Muzong (824). At that time, Liu Yuxi was transferring from Kuizhou secretariat to Liyang (formerly known as Hezhou), passing through Dongting Lake on the way. He was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake, so he wrote this poem.
It is worth noting that Liu Yuxi visited Dongting Lake many times in his life, and there are about six records to be tested. However, the experience of being transferred to the state secretariat coincided with autumn, and the scenery of Dongting Lake in the moonlight on autumn night was particularly magnificent, so he chose to create this poem at this time to record what he saw and felt.
In the poem, Liu Yuxi described the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake under the moonlight in autumn night with rich imagination and exquisite brushwork, and expressed his love and praise for the scenery of Dongting Lake. This poem not only shows the poet's majestic bearing and lofty sentiment, but also reflects his love for nature and his high attainments in poetic art.
