Analysis:
The quatrains of Qing Palace (I)
Du Mu
Looking back at Chang 'an, Mount Li is like a pile of splendid scenery, and the gates of Huaqing Palace on the top of the mountain are opened in turn.
As soon as I rode on the smile of smoke and smoke, no one knew that the fresh fruit litchi was sent from the south.

Huaqingguan's former site is on Lishan Mountain in Lintong, Shaanxi Province, which is the palace of the Tang Dynasty. There are hot springs with beautiful scenery, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan often come to play. According to legend, Yang Yuhuan likes to eat fresh litchi, and Li Longji orders flying horses from Sichuan and Guangdong to Chang 'an every year, killing many people. This is the first of three songs "Crossing the Qing Palace". This poem vividly and profoundly reveals the decadent life of feudal emperors through the typical event of transporting fresh litchi.
This epic was written by Du Mulu when he arrived in Chang 'an via Huaqing Palace, feeling that Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei were extravagant and misunderstood their own country. Huaqing Palace was once a playground for Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. According to "New Tang Book"? "Biography of Yang Guifei" records: "I love lychee, and I will be born with it. She went to Wan Li Road, and her taste has not changed. She has arrived in the capital. " Therefore, on the way from Sichuan to Chang 'an, many policemen were exhausted and the post horses fell dead. The quatrains crossing the Qing Palace intercepted this historical fact, attacked the arrogance, extravagance and ignorance of feudal rulers, satirized the present with history and warned the monarch.
Poetry eulogizes the Huaqing Palace, but it begins with "looking back at Chang 'an", guiding readers to gradually enter the deep realm from the unfolding of the scenery in front of them. The first sentence describes the panoramic view of Huaqing that the poet saw when he looked back at Huaqing Palace in Chang 'an. The word "looking back" is not only a true writing, but also a link between the past and the future. "Embroidered Pile" means a pun, which not only points out that Mount Li is surrounded by East Embroidered Ridge and West Embroidered Ridge, but also depicts countless layered and magnificent buildings hidden in it, just like a pile of splendid scenery, which is like a flower in the new century. As a result, the poet suddenly raised a sense of responsibility to review and reflect on history, and expressed his feelings about history from the scene. It is the following three sentences, "A thousand doors open at the top of the mountain", which are inherited and reviewed. The second sentence focuses on the top of the "embroidered pile", revealing the deep palace and heavy garden, from which we can see the luxury of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei's life in those years, and set a question for readers: Why do you want to open the "thousand doors on the top of the mountain"? The first four words of the third sentence, "galloping the world of mortals", are like montage techniques in movies, which shift the reader's perspective to the mountain road: flying on loess, riding like flying. People can't help but regenerate suspense because of these two jumping scenes: the forbidden door is opened and the horse is passed. Is there any military incident? But the word "princess smile" suddenly turned a corner, which made people relieved, but even more confused. Even because of the mysterious atmosphere, the poet insisted on knowing the result immediately, revealing the mystery implicitly and euphemistically: "No one knows it is litchi." It turns out that this is all caused by Yang Guifei. When she saw "riding the world of mortals" galloping past, she knew that the litchi that gave her appetite had arrived, so she "laughed" happily. Others thought it was urgent, but who thought it was fresh litchi in Fuzhou! The conclusion of the poem is the crowning touch of the whole poem, revealing the bane of the "An Shi Rebellion": the luxury of this bustling world has reached an unimaginable level! People can't help but think of Zhou Youwang's praise and laugh it off in those years, and he did not hesitate to fight a vassal war, which led to the collapse of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The poet recited the anecdote of Tianbao, aiming at warning the later monarchs not to delay the state affairs because of their lust for pleasure. However, the poet did not write about the tragic situation of An Shi, Xuanzong's hasty escape, Ma Youpo's performance, nor did he list Xuanzong's amusement, extravagance and luxury life. Instead, it suddenly showed such a "small thing" as sending litchi thousands of miles away to win the imperial concubine's smile and find historical problems in the details. "Riding a princess and laughing in the world of mortals" makes a wonderful contrast between a poor official who is galloping on horseback and a smiling princess, and expresses such a serious historical theme with a word "smile", which is highly generalized and typical.
