This is a poem that expresses longing for love by chanting things, and it was created because of caring for friends as soon as possible. Sentences are inspired by things, and the language is simple but imaginative; Then, I sent a message with questions, which meaningfully entrusted my feelings; The third sentence implies cherishing friendship. On the surface, it seems nostalgic, but behind it, there is a deep weight of love. The last pun is not only to the point, but also to the feelings. It is beautiful and elegant. The whole poem is elegant and smart, full of thoughts, unpretentious language and harmonious and feminine rhythm. It can be described as the best of quatrains.
Red beans are produced in the south. They are strong, bright red and round, as crystal clear as coral. Southerners often use them as decorations. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a woman who was called "acacia" because her husband died by the side and cried under the tree and turned into red beans. It is often used to describe lovesickness in Tang poetry. And "lovesickness" is not limited to the scope of love between men and women, but also includes friends. For example, Su Li's poem "It's hard for pedestrians to stay for a long time, and each has its own lovesickness language" is an example. The title of this poem is "The Gift of the River to Li Guinian", so it can be seen that ancient poetry expresses the feelings of caring for friends.
"Southland" (South) is not only the origin of red beans, but also the place where friends are. The first sentence begins with "when those red berries come in spring", which insinuates the acacia below. The language is extremely simple and full of images. The second sentence, "Your southern branches are flushed," was asked softly. Naturally, the tone of the message was particularly cordial. However, it is meaningful to ask you only Flushing, a red bean on the southern branch. This is to choose something full of emotion to express your feelings. When you passed my window, did the plum blossom bloom its first cold flower? ? (Wang Wei's Miscellaneous Poems) The memory of Li Shu reflects the deep homesickness of Hakka people. Similarly, the red beans here are also a symbol of sincere friendship. If you write like this, you will feel that language is close to love and far away.
The third sentence is followed by the message of "pick more red beans", which means the same thing. Picking plants to express nostalgia is a common practice in classical poetry. For example, an ancient poem in the Han Dynasty said, "She picked hibiscus in the Suijiang River and many fragrant grasses in Lanze. Who will stay behind?" Thinking is a long way "is an example. "For my sake, take a hug and go home," as if to say, "When you see red beans, think about everything about me. "It is suggested that friends from afar cherish friendship, and the language is sincere and touching. Here, I only use acacia to tell people, but my own acacia is seen between the lines. Expressing feelings in this way is elegant, moving and meaningful. Song people compiled 10 thousand Tang poems, and the word "duo" in this sentence is "Hugh" Using the word "Hugh" to compare the pain of lovelorn, from lovesickness to lovephobia, is of course a human feeling in a certain situation. The use of the word "duo" shows a warm and passionate bodybuilding mood. This poem is high in sentiment, true but not delicate, and has a great relationship with the word "Duo", so the word "Duo" is better than the word "Hugh". At the end of the title, "Acacia" echoes the first sentence "Red Bean", which not only hits the name of "Acacia", but also has something to do with the love of Acacia. " As a symbol of our love "is like saying: only this red bean is the most lovely and unforgettable." This is a supplementary reason to explain why "give me a hug and go home". And readers can appreciate more things from words. What the author really can't forget is self-evident. The advanced adverb "zui" has profound meaning, which increases the implication of puns.
The whole poem is permeated with the enthusiasm of teenagers, the breath of youth and full of feelings. Every word does not leave the red bean, but it is "outside the image, in the middle", expressing the love of acacia. It is "in one go", which is extremely vivid but euphemistic. In life, the most affectionate words are often plain and natural. Wang Wei is very good at refining this simple and typical language to express profound thoughts and feelings. So it is not surprising that this poem is simple and affectionate and became a popular song at that time.
