Poetry appreciation
This is a poem written by the poet when he was wandering in the south of the Yangtze River. When Zhang Hu spent the night at Zhenjiang Ferry, he faced the night view of the Yangtze River, and used this poem to express his melancholy on the journey and his loneliness and desolation. The language of the whole poem is simple and natural, and the picturesque night scene on the river is described as quiet and melancholy, elegant and fresh.
The first two sentences of this poem explain the place where the poet spent the night and point out the poet's mood; In fact, the last two sentences describe the beautiful night scene of Jinling Ferry on the Yangtze River, which sets off the poet's loneliness in traveling. The whole poem is closely related to rivers (ebb tide, night river), the moon (falling moon, slanting moon), lights (fishing fire, sparks) and other scenery, and the word "worry" runs through the whole poem. The poem has a clear conception and a long lasting charm, and is even more ingenious in artistic structure.
