A suggestion for my friend Liu.

There is a glimmer of green in the old bottle and a hint of red in the quiet stove.
With dusk and snow coming, how about a glass of wine?
Explanation:
The newly brewed rice wine is green and fragrant; A small red mud stove is burning crimson.
It's getting dark, and the snow is coming. Can I have a drink? Friend!
Appreciate:
Liu Shijiu was a friend of the author when he was in Jiangzhou, and the author wrote a song "Liu Shijiu Sleeps Together", saying that he was Chu Shi of Songyang. There are only twenty crosses in the whole poem, and there is no profound sustenance or flowery rhetoric. But between the lines, there is a warm and cheerful color, a warm and warm friendship, and a warm and spring-like poetry.
The cleverness of poetry is first of all the careful choice and clever arrangement of images. The expression of the whole poem mainly depends on the combination of three images (new wine, stove and sunset snow). In the phrase "new wine in old bottles". Because the wine is newly brewed and unfiltered, the wine surface is covered with wine residue foam, slightly green and as small as an ant, so it is called "green ant". The first sentence of the poem describes the light green, turbid and rough home-brewed rice wine, which is easy to arouse readers' association and makes readers seem to see the fragrant and sweet rice wine. The second sentence, "There is a red commotion in a quiet stove", is a simple and warm stove, and the fire is burning red. The poet sat around the fire, and the blazing fire lit up the house at dusk and the home brew with green foam. "A quiet stove stirs red" plays a role in rendering colors and setting off the atmosphere for the drinking environment. The wine is already very attractive, and the fire adds a warm atmosphere. The first sentence and the second sentence of the poem use two images of "home wine" and "small stove", which are very germinal and suggestive, and are easy to arouse readers' association with simple and authentic rural life. The last two sentences: "It feels like snow outside at dusk. How about a glass of wine inside?"? ? "In such a cold and snowy winter, in such a twilight leisure time, inviting old friends to drink and catch up with the past shows the poet's deep friendship. The arrangement of the image of "snow" outlines the broad background of friends gathering and drinking. The cold wind is rustling and the snowflakes are fluttering, which makes people feel cold and cold. The more so, the more it can reflect the fiery stove and the preciousness of friendship. The three images of "home wine", "small stove" and "falling clouds and snow" are separated and isolated, which seems bland and has no lasting appeal. However, when these three images are integrated into the overall organizational structure full of poetic situations, readers will feel a charm, realm and sentiment that is not a single image but depends on the overall organization. Winter, dusk, snowstorm, new wine, fire has been lit. Only when friends arrive early can the three images become a colorful, tangible and affectionate picture, which is filled with the warmth of friendship and the fragrance of human nature.
Secondly, the reasonable collocation of colors. Poetry and painting are connected by affection. Although poets can't reproduce colors intuitively like sculptors and painters, they can arouse readers' corresponding associations and emotional experiences through creative language use. This poem is very distinctive in color configuration, fresh and simple, warm and bright, giving readers an immersive feeling, pleasing to the eye and pleasing to the eye. The word "green ant" in the first sentence of the poem describes the color of the wine, which is fragrant and makes people say that it is beautiful, and the vivid state of the wine makes readers feel "dazzling". The word "red" in the second sentence, like a fire in winter, warms people's bodies and hearts. The word "fire" shows the scene of burning charcoal and dancing with light and shadow, which can add infinite heat to people in cold winter. "Red" and "green" set each other off, full of color and flavor, warm atmosphere and pleasant mood. There is no need to copy the color in the third sentence, but the words "late" and "snow" tell readers that the black night curtain has landed and white snow is coming. Under the background of the vast snowy night, the "green" wine and "red" stove in the hut are in harmony, which is extremely eye-catching and particularly warm.
Finally, the use of ending questions. "How about a glass of wine inside?" Speak out of turn, ask questions, be close to your heart and be full of true feelings. Ending the poem with such spoken language not only increases the charm of the whole poem, but also makes it have the beauty of ethereal swaying and wonderful aftertaste; It also creates a situation, leaving readers with endless imagination space. Poets may deliberately prepare newly cooked home brew to entertain friends, or occasionally use it to drive away loneliness and desolation; It may be the memory of the warmth of friends on a snowy night, or the frequent visits between friends on weekdays. And these are all left to the imagination of readers.
The whole poem, the words are shallow and affectionate, and the words are short and long. Bai Juyi is good at discovering poetry in life, refining poetry in life with his heart, and reflecting the spring scenery in human nature with poetry, which makes readers emotional.
A suggestion for my friend Liu. Poetry is rendered layer by layer when it comes to key points, but it no longer has aftertaste because of rendering, on the contrary, it is still very rich. After reading the last sentence, "How about a glass of wine inside?" As you can imagine, Liu 19 will take a ride immediately after receiving Bai Juyi's poems. So, two friends around the stove, "get carried away" to pour the newly brewed wine. Maybe it's really snowing outside, but it's so warm and bright indoors. Life rises at this moment, emitting a sweet and harmonious melody ... these are the associations that poetry naturally leaves for people. Because it is both exaggerated and concise, it is not only attractive, but also intriguing. What makes people slightly drunk is not thin wine, but mellow mash, which can make people really intoxicated physically and mentally. Poetry contains the breath of life, and it is a wonderful chapter without any carving.
The work is full of the emotional appeal of life, and the simple language writes the beautiful and sincere friendship in daily life.
