The appreciation of Li Shangyin's Jinse poem is as follows:
1. The poem begins with fifty strings of Jinse for no reason, each string and column reflecting on the Chinese years, creating a deep and slightly Sentimental atmosphere. The poet uses Jinse as a metaphor to express his lament about the passing of time. The fifty strings of the zither symbolize the fifty years of life, and each string and column represents the passing years and the passing years. This use of music to symbolize life sets the emotional tone for the entire poem.
2. Zhuang Sheng dreamed of butterflies at dawn, and looked forward to the emperor's spring heart with cuckoos. By describing the allusions of Zhuang Zhou dreaming of butterflies and cuckoos crying for blood, the poet expressed his feelings about life being like a dream and time passing by. The story of Zhuang Zhou’s Dream of Butterflies expresses the illusion and impermanence of life, while the cuckoo’s cry of blood symbolizes the ruthlessness of time and the brevity of life. The poet uses these two allusions to further deepen the sentimental atmosphere of the whole poem.
3. In two sentences, the moon pearl in the sea has tears, and the warm sun in Lantian jade produces smoke. The poet uses the pearl in the sea and the jade in Lantian as metaphors to express his lament about the shortness and perishability of beautiful things. Moon pearls shed tears and jade produces smoke. These images depict the disappearance of beautiful things in time, further emphasizing the impermanence and brevity of life.
4. This feeling can be recalled, but at that time, there were only two sentences at a loss. The poet used the recollection as a clue to push the emotion of the whole poem to a climax. He expressed his nostalgia for the past years and his helplessness about the lost time. This feeling can be remembered in retrospect, but it was already lost at that time. It profoundly depicts people's confusion and helplessness in the passage of time.
