The fire was shining in the sky, and the red star in the purple smoke was in chaos.
On the night of the moon, copper smelters sang, and their songs resounded through the cold valley.
Translation:
The fire shines on the heavens and the earth, and the red star flashes in the smoke.
On a bright moonlit night, the smelters sang while working, and their songs resounded through the cold valley.
Qiu Pu Ge is a poem by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. Under the poet's ingenious pen, light, heat, sound and color are intertwined, and bright and dark, cold and hot, dynamic and static are in harmony, vividly showing the fiery labor scene and vividly shaping the image of ancient smelting workers. It is indeed an artistic treasure that radiates extraordinary splendour in the treasure house of ancient poetry.
Poetry appreciation
The first two sentences of the poem present a smelting scene with bright colors and warm atmosphere: blazing fire, red star splashing, purple smoke transpiration, and the vast world is illuminated by red flames. The poet used two seemingly ordinary words, "Zhao" and "Luan", but once refined into poetry, it made the scenery stand out. Through this vivid scene, it is not difficult to feel the novelty, excitement and wonder of the poet.
Then two sentences, "Lang Lang Ming Moon Night, Qu Dong Han Chuan." Turn to the description of the image of smelting workers. With rough lines and a little outline, the poet's majestic and sturdy image of the smelter is vividly displayed on the paper. The word "Lang Lang" is novel and intriguing. From the word "Lang Lang", we can think of their strong physique and industrious, simple, enthusiastic, bold and optimistic personality. The end of the sentence "Song Dong Han Chuan" closed the characterization of the previous sentence.
