Comments and explanations
This poem was praised by later generations as "the first five words in the prosperous Tang Dynasty". The most touching place is the majestic and unrestrained feelings in the poem. At the same time, the poet drives images with intentionality, including the images of "flying canopy" and "iron bells" and the vast space of Wan Li. These super bold images not only reflect the poet's heroic feelings, but also glow with the spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The sonorous tone and powerful rhythm further enhance the strength and momentum of poetry. Gao Shi is good at using cadence and four-tone cadence in poetry, which makes poetry look vivid and full of emotion. For example, the words "Dui" and "Zhi" in the first couplet not only have accurate meanings, but also have opposite tones, which seem to be melodious. The whole poem is written in oriental rhyme, which is easy to express optimistic and cheerful mood. With the central syllable in front, it makes the whole poem appear flying and sonorous, and it is like "drumming in the sky".
