Langtaosha 1
Liu Yuxi [Tang Dynasty]
The Yellow River winds from a distant place, carrying thousands of miles of yellow sand.
Since you are from the sky, and now you seem to fly directly to the Milky Way, please take me to the sky, gather in the Milky Way, and go to the home of Cowherd and Weaver Girl together.
translate
The Yellow River in Wan Li twists and turns with sediment, and the waves are rolling, like a huge wind from the end of the world.
Now it seems that I will fly directly to the Milky Way in the sky. Please take me to visit the home of Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
This quatrain imitates the tone of the gold digger, and shows their disgust for the gold digger's career and their yearning for a better life. Living by the river, the Tianhe River where Cowherd and Weaver Girl live is quiet and beautiful, but the gold diggers along the Yellow River are rushing for a living all day. I went straight to the Milky Way, visited the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid, and pinned my hopes for a quiet rural life. This romantic ideal, poured out in heroic spoken language, has an unpretentious beauty.
"The Yellow River in Wan Li twists and turns, and stormy waves are blowing from the horizon". See Tang Yuxi's Langtaosha. Tao: Rinse with water. Go shake it. From: From. There are countless grits in the Yellow River. As the Yellow River flows through Wan Li, it comes here from the ends of the earth after being washed by waves and blown by strong winds. The poet praised the yellow sand in Wan Li of the Yellow River and their indomitable character. When we quote, we can use its symbolic meaning to praise things or people with the same characteristics.
"Now go directly to the Milky Way, to Penny and the Weaver Girl's house." Zhang Qian's allusion to finding Heyuan for Emperor Wu and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl across the Milky Way was adopted, and he galloped through his imagination, expressing that he would face the stormy waves and the yellow sand in Wan Li and go upstream until he reached the home of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which showed the poet's heroic spirit.
