Grass is a poem about objects, which can also be regarded as an allegorical poem. Some people think it's a mockery of the villain. Judging from the whole poem, although the original grass refers to something, its metaphorical meaning is uncertain. "Wildfire never completely burned them, and the spring breeze blows high." However, as a kind of "tenacity", it is well known and has become a swan song that has been passed down through the ages.
grass
Author: Bai Juyi
The long grass is so lush that the withered grass will thicken the color of the grass every autumn and winter.
Wildfire can't burn it out, but the spring breeze can revive it.
Weeds and wild flowers are all over the ancient road, and the end of the grass in the sun is your journey.
I once again sent my bosom friend, and the thick grass represented my deep affection.

translate
The ancient plains are overgrown with weeds,
Every year, when spring comes, Qiu Lai turns yellow.
Let the wildfire burn endlessly,
The spring breeze is still booming.
In the distance, there are ancient post roads hidden in the grass.
Extending to the desolate city, it is green and clear.
The green grass grows in spring and sends away the wanderers.
Planting grass is better than being covered in injuries.

The first sentence is the word "ancient grass". How lush ("detached") the original grass is, grasping the vitality of "spring grass", which can be said to be detached from "spring grass grows and grows" without trace, which opens up a good idea for the following. As far as "Ancient Grass" is concerned, why not start with "Qiu Lai Deep Path" (the original "Autumn Grass" was written by an ancient monk), and the whole story will be another kind of atmosphere. Weeds are annual plants, which flourish in spring and wither in autumn. "Come and go with each season" seems to be nothing more than that. However, writing "withered-glorious" is very different from writing "glorious-withered". If the latter is autumn grass, you can't make three or four good sentences. The word "one" overlaps together, forming a sigh, showing an endless feeling first, and three or four sentences will follow.
"Wildfire never completely devoured them, and they grew taller in the spring breeze." This is the development of the word "withered glory", which changed from a concept to an image. The ancient grass is characterized by tenacious vitality. You can't cut or hoe. As long as a few roots are left, the next year will be greener and longer, and will soon spread to Yuanye. The poet grasped this feature, not saying "endless chopping and hoeing", but writing "wildfire never consumes them completely", creating a heroic artistic conception. Wildfires start a prairie fire, and the flames are terrible. In an instant, a large area of hay was burned to the ground. Emphasizing the power of destruction and the pain of destruction means emphasizing the power of regeneration and the joy of regeneration. Fire can "burn out" all weeds, even stems and leaves, but the poet says it is "inexhaustible", which is of great significance. Because no matter how fierce the fire is, there is no way to help the roots buried deep underground. Once the spring breeze melts into rain, the life of weeds will revive and cover the earth again with rapid growth in response to the abuse of fire. Look at that "vast sea of grass", isn't it a green flag of victory? The language of "they have grown taller in the spring breeze" is concise and powerful, and the word "rebirth" has three points and ten meanings. Song Dynasty and Notes on Remnant Gaizhai said that these two sentences were "not as concise as Liu Changqing's poem Burning Green in Spring", but they were not really seen.
These two sentences not only describe the character of "grass on the original", but also describe an ideal model of regeneration from fire. One sentence is dry, the other is glory, and how "Endless Burning" and "Blowing Again" sing and sigh, the confrontation is also natural, so it is outstanding through the ages. Although Liu's sentences are similar in meaning, they lack charm and are far less than white sentences.
If these two sentences focus on "ancient grass" and focus on "grass", then five or six sentences continue to write "ancient grass" and focus on "ancient grass" to lead to the meaning of "don't", then it is a turning point. Running water is natural for the final combination; And this combination is right, the beauty lies in seiko, and it is quite changeable. Both Fiona Fang and Cui Jing describe grass, which is more concrete and vivid than the original grass. Fang said "far", and the ancient plains were filled with fragrance; Cui Yue is "sunny", and the green grass is bathed in the sunshine, which is as beautiful as the first time. The words "invasion" and "connection" follow the word "rebirth", writing a trend of spreading and expanding, once again highlighting the image of the strong weeds in the competition for survival. The "ancient road" and "desolate city" are extremely tangent to the "ancient plain" Although the ancient Taoist city is barren, grass does not write ancient plains for the sake of writing "ancient plains". At the same time, a typical farewell environment was arranged: Sandy's ancient plains were so charming that farewell took place under such a background. How melancholy and poetic. The word "Wang Sun" is borrowed from Chu Ci to make a sentence, which generally refers to the traveler. "The prince and grandson swam away, and the spring grass grew." Refers to people who have not come back when they see the lush grass. However, here, it is used in different ways. It is about the sadness of seeing the lush grass send away. It seems that every blade of grass is full of special feelings. It is really: "Hate like spring grass, and live further" (Li Yu's "Qingpingle"). What a meaningful ending this is! At this point in the poem, "Farewell" has been made clear, the meaning of the question has been set, and the whole article is closed. "Guyuan", "Grass" and "Farewell" are integrated into one, and the artistic conception is extremely muddy. Life has restored the youth of Guyuan. Compared with the original autumn plain with autumn grass, it is full of vitality.
The words used in the whole poem are natural, smooth and neat. Although it is a propositional poem, it can be integrated into profound life feelings. Therefore, every word contains true feelings, and the language has a aftertaste, which is not only appropriate, but also unique, and can be called the swan song in Fu Yi Li.
