Make an appreciative comment
The first sentence describes the author's pleasant environment, hazy moonlight, and the beautiful moonlight on Qingming night fascinates the author. The description of the environment highlights the author's love for beautiful scenery and shows the author's leisure.
In the second sentence, the author was in a mansion under a jasper railing and a red brick wall on a moonlit night. The author used the word "blue and red" to express his happy heart. At night, all he expected was some beautiful colors and elaborate buildings, which made him happy and cheerful.
The third sentence is about the author pacing alone and singing in the circuitous corridor. On such a clear night, under the charming moonlight, the author enjoyed his heart, sang in the cloister and expressed his inner happiness.
In the fourth sentence, I admit that the author's thoughts drifted into the distance, and he just heard orchestral strings in the distance, so the author calmed down and listened carefully to the strings, which was not leisurely. On the other hand, "remote listening" and "dark watching" also show the author's concern for reality.
The beauty of the whole poem lies in the coldness of the Qingming night, but it has its own style. Although it is clear, it is intended to write an affair of a girl who loves spring outside the paper. The sentence "It's Qingming Day again" has a unique charm. This poem is based on materials and has a unique conception; This poem also shows the author's subtle psychology of nostalgia for the beautiful scenery and deep fear that spring will leave, but there are no words to describe it. The author's intention of cherishing spring is self-evident.
Creation background
Hiking is also called spring outing, spring seeking and outing. Just stepping on the grass, playing in the country and watching the spring scenery. March is clear, spring returns to the earth, and nature is full of vitality everywhere, which is a good time to go for an outing. People in our country have always maintained the habit of going for an outing in Qingming. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a good time to go for an outing, so it has become an important part of Tomb-Sweeping Day customs. In ancient times, women were not allowed to go out on weekdays. This is a rare opportunity to go hiking in Qingming, so women have more fun than men in Qingming.
Distinguish and appreciate
Qingming Night is Bai Juyi's custom of going out for a walk in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
In ancient times, outing was also called "seeking spring" and "Spring Festival", which was popular in Jin Dynasty. Tomb-Sweeping Day is also a good time for people to have a spring outing. Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, beautiful spring scenery, getting close to nature and outing is another important activity of Tomb-Sweeping Day custom. At present, it is generally believed that this Tomb-Sweeping Day custom inherited the tradition of Shangsi Festival in March and was formed at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. An important content of Shangsi Festival is that young men and women go out for an outing and choose their spouses freely.
But the beauty of this poem is that it is neither clear nor cold. It has its own style. Although it is clear, it is intended to write the affair of a girl who is in love with spring outside the paper. The phrase "clear again" makes people laugh and ask, "But are you worried about getting married?"
I have always had a good impression on Bai Juyi. Although Pipa Xing and Song of Eternal Sorrow once made me recite it with pain, when I grow up, I think about it carefully, but its famous sentences can be seen everywhere. I chose this song because it has clear artistic conception and bright color contrast, but it is not dazzling. The poet enjoyed listening to flowers at night, but he took a short rest around the cloister, but implicitly pointed out the poet's real intention after this leisure.
