The first poem is the poet's opening work of Yueyang Tower, so it is carefully crafted and serious.
The first part describes the geographical location of Yueyang Tower, which is grandly launched from a macro perspective with Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River as the background. In a seven-character poem, the poet skillfully uses the two directional words "East" and "West" and connects them with lakes and rivers, which shows the location of Yueyang Tower. Then write what you see when you look up, "The curtain is still and the sunset is late." This sentence is a colorful stroke of the whole poem, which seems ordinary, but in fact it is delicate. "Curtain Scene" is a close shot, "Sunset" is a long shot, and the close shot and the long shot are combined into one. The poet's line of sight is scanned from near to far, gradually released and integrated into the boundless twilight. The static curtain shows that the lake is calm; The sunset reminds us of the tranquility of the night. Such poetic imagery can not help but arouse the poet's rich reverie.
The couplets in the poem are produced from the static and soothing description of the scenery and transformed into strong lyricism. Like variations of music, these two poems seem to repeat the above themes, but their styles are quite different. "Going to Wu and Shu to share the land equally" is also the geographical location of Deng, but it adds a heavy sense of history; "By the lake and the mountain, I want to see the scenery at dusk", but I feel a little disappointed. This gradual change is a contrast, a transition, and a description of the integration of things and me. Here, the subject image of the poet appears in the poem inadvertently and naturally. He is thinking, wandering, blending into the scene and expressing his feelings through the scene.
After gaining momentum ahead, the poet finally issued the loudest and strongest cry in a near-direct way: "Wan Li is still far away, and it is even harder to rely on risks for more than three years." These two poems express the resentment in the heart of the minister. The antithesis of "Wan Li" and "Three Years" tells their stories from the span of space and time respectively, and has received the artistic effect of double superposition, which makes people feel deeply. The poet's "visit from Wan Li" is just an elegant expression of Wan Li's escape, but he is helpless. The anguish in my heart had to be dissolved in the "vision". "More than three years is difficult", which is already unbearable, but climbing mountains here is really unbearable. At this point, poetry has been full of twists and turns, pushing feelings to the extreme.
The scenes of couplets complement each other. "Wind and frost" not only refers to the thick autumn colors, but also sets off one's "bald head", implying the seriousness of the political situation at that time. "Old and pale" refers not only to the real scene in front of us, but also to the author's haggard, sad and weather-beaten self-portrayal. This desolate charm is exactly the same as "endless falling flowers and rain" and "misfortune frosts my temples" in Du Fu's poems. At this time, Du Fu became the poet's confidant in trouble, so this poem naturally has the generous style in Du Fu's poems.
Secondly,
The first song is about going upstairs, and the second song is about scenery and going home. When the poet climbed the Yueyang Tower, he saw that "it was sunny in Pinghu, and there was no phoenix; at night, the sails and geese floated." This depicts a variety of scenery: sky, lake, reflection, sunset and wild geese, which constitute the unique beauty of Dongting Lake. On the surface, the word "sunny without wind" is a bit of a cliche, but it has the same effect as "lonely smoke in the desert, long river setting the yen". Without modification, it only writes the magnificence of the lake and is even more unique. The second co-author also wrote about the scenery, and once again pointed out that the time was at night. From the beginning of the third couplet, the poet began to return home and once again led the poem to the scenery. Looking north, he saw white grass sparse, looking south, he saw maple leaf red. The description of this couplet pushed the whole poem to a climax, and the antithesis was neat and unique. The last two sentences are that the poet only cares about the scenery, and his poem was finished before he arrived in Jiangling, which set off the beautiful scenery between the Dongting of the Yangtze River from the side. The feelings of the whole poem are the same as those of the first poem, because the two poems describe the same series of things, and the feelings are the same, but they are hidden. In fact, this poem expresses the feeling that the author can only appreciate the scenery after the death of the Northern Song Dynasty.
