The surrounding rocks are connected with the banks of Xiangjiang River, and the green mountain walls are surrounded by clear water. Hanging springs, forming a bright water curtain, flowing down the river, never stopping. The water curtain, like a jade Qing with harmonious timbre, clangs and resounds through the rock valley. Xia Hong is hanging at the top of the rock, which makes me suddenly imagine to visit the sky. That wonderful state is beyond description. Even with the ability of ghosts and gods, it is difficult to suddenly appear in front of the jade emperor, only to see a row of jade strings hanging in front of his crown. In the past, Qu Yuan was driven to the south. He is very interested in the land of immortals and doesn't want to go back to China. Now I am lucky to be released by the new imperial edict and begin to return to the north. Wandering here is worthy of nostalgia, but I promised my country that I must return to North Korea as soon as possible, so I can't stay. Come to play again, only in the dream, stand before the trip for a long time, and go by boat.

Distinguish and appreciate

This poem describes the scenery of surrounding rock, and the whole poem highlights the waterfall scenery of surrounding rock. Its scenery is colorful, fantastic, imaginative and straightforward.

First of all, the first four sentences briefly outline the geographical characteristics of surrounding rock. The "boundary curve" highlights the Xiangjiang River circling here, and the "clear flow around the blue wall" shows the beautiful scenery around the blue cliff with clear water. Then, with the theme of "hanging the spring into a curtain, the lottery will never stop", it highlights the continuous and magnificent characteristics of waterfall betting.

Then comes the sound of waterfalls, "The clouds are clear and clear, while Tang Qiang is quiet and quiet.". Underwater acoustic jade knocks on Bitan, and Tang Qiang's crisp voice resounds through the deep rock, which is crisp and pleasant. Considering this sentence, we can see that the words are appropriate. Such as "Bi", it is called "Ning", and "Ning Bi" is also called "Knock", while the sound made by knocking on the jade-like bluestone is "Qing", which is a combination of various forces, and the word "Knock" is prominent, so that people can enjoy the waterfall and the sound of hearing. Danxia crowned its summit and fantasized about roaming in vain ",describing Hongyun as a crown hat worn on the top of the mountain, which made people want to fly into the sky and travel in vain.

The description of the scenery in the above eight sentences is actually a good sentence, but it is also a foreshadowing. The purpose is to lead out the following poems in order to produce amazing artistic effects.

"Spiritual realm cannot be shaped, and ghost work is hard to find. Suddenly, like the jade emperor, the sky hangs down. " Many famous artists have turned their attention to this sentence. These four sentences "stand proudly on the shore and support the whole column" and "suddenly look like the jade emperor, and the canopy hangs in front" are like comparing the water curtain to the tassel hanging in front of the jade emperor's canopy. It also highlights the beauty of its scenery with a simple sentence "ghost work is hard to find", which is appropriate, concise and vivid. Think about it carefully, the author has made some preparations before. First, the overall appearance of the water curtain was written, then the shape of the curtain was written, then the sound of knocking stones like a chin was written, and finally the landscape surrounded by clouds above the water curtain was written. Then I used the word "suddenly like" to associate it with the jade string hanging in front of the crown worn by the jade emperor with a flash of light. It was amazing and amazing.

After being shocked, it is divergent imagination, thinking about myself, and feeling. "With sincere attachment, many countries will not stay long", the poet linked his own experience, thinking that he was exiled to the south like Chen Chu Quyuan, and had intended to learn immortality. Now that the poet can't compare with Qu Zi, and now he is going back to the north, the imperial edict has lifted the fetters and fetters. Therefore, the poet's persistence in seeking truth and immortality was replaced by his ideal ambition as a country. So I described myself with a slightly disappointed sentence, "I will give you another dream, but I will save it and urge you to sail." Coming back to Chang 'an, I had to rely on a faint dream. Since I was encouraged to go boating, I had to leave by boat. Although this sentence has a sad color of parting, it is obvious from the poet's background and the tone at the end of the sentence that most of the poets are cheerful.

In addition, the poet also spent a lot of money on choosing words and setting colors, such as "blue wall", "clean stream", "curtain", "secluded rock", "Ningbi" and "Danxia", which can be said to be mixed colors, but they don't feel confused when reading. Because of its overall tone, Gai tends to be cold all the way, thus forming a solemn atmosphere and a quiet realm. Step by step, the whole poem avoids linking sentences, and the single sentence goes straight, thus producing a direct sense of strength. Sun Yuefeng commented: "Writing scenery is like thanking, but monologues are more powerful." (Volume 42 of Comments on Liu Liuzhou Collection) This is the case.
