The first couplet of the poem reads "I live in Junnanhai, Beihai, and I can't write from Xie Yan". They live in the north and south, and every place is decorated with the word "sea". Coupled with "Hongyan can't thank them for sending letters", even the geese can't fly to the place where they want to send letters, which highlights the distance and shows their eager yearning.
Zhuan Xu is a famous sentence throughout the ages, which was very famous at that time. There is nothing strange in the wording and sentence making of this couplet. The words are ordinary and the words are ordinary. After making sentences, it gives people a fresh and meaningful artistic conception and a strong artistic appeal, which is its most successful place. In retrospect, the "Peach and Plum Spring Breeze" was an era of high spirits. The poet simply wrote the scene where two people met with a glass of wine. Although it was just a glass of wine, the beauty when they met was vivid enough.
Then the poet used words such as "Jianghu", "Night Rain" and "Ten-year Lantern" to express his yearning after parting. It is conceivable that two friends drift across the river and miss each other every time they are alone in the rainy night, and they can't sleep at night, and this scene has lasted for ten years. The "sadness" of couplets and the "happiness" of sentences deepen the expression effect of thoughts and feelings.
Tie, "there are four vertical walls in running a family, but the arm is not stopped in treating diseases", these two sentences also set each other off. As the head of a county, there are only four walls standing there at home, which not only shows that he is honest and upright, but also shows that he has spent all his energy and thoughts on "treating diseases" and "reading" and has no mind and time to take care of his personal comfort zone.
Of course, the treatment mentioned here is actually not treatment, but the management of political affairs. The implication is that he has achieved political achievements and demonstrated his ability to govern the country and save the country. Why doesn't he reuse it, which keeps him stumbling? This is a vague description of his situation.
At the end of the couplet, the poet thought that "his reading head is white" and only made a "reading head is white" on the seashore, and only made a county order on the seashore.
Whether his reading sound is as loud and pleasant as before, but it is set off by "apes cry over vines", which brings a bleak atmosphere to the whole picture; The voice of injustice and the meaning of sympathy are also included.
This poem eulogizes Huang Jifu's integrity, ability and eagerness to learn, but deeply regrets his old age and sinking situation, expresses his deep affection for missing his friends, and expresses his grievances and indignation at his lack of talent. The whole poem is sincere and touching. However, it also shows the characteristics of Huang Tingjian's poems, such as making good use of books, taking the old as the new, inheriting the old as the method, and twists and turns.
