A towel and a thistle stick, in the north of the city, the west wind is full of sorrow.
A little wind scatters the letter, and two lines of geese take Du Lingqiu.
The prosperity of mountains and rivers is scratched, and those who settle down rely on the building.
Poetry is not what it used to be, and the dream soul is still in Guliangzhou.
This poem mainly describes what the poet saw and thought when he went to town. "A little rumor spreads, and two lines of geese take Du Lingqiu." These two sentences are about worrying about the border situation and missing the territory of Guanzhong. Dasanguan is an important pass on the northwest border of the Southern Song Dynasty. The poet was stationed there. Today, I went upstairs and looked at the beacon smoke floating over there, indicating that there was an emergency at the border.
These two sentences should be understood together, mainly using three rhetorical devices: association, metonymy and antithesis
