An ancient poem praising Xi'an: When autumn comes on September 8th, my flowers will bloom and hundreds of flowers will die. The incense formation soaring into the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor.
Appreciation:
Among the three poems handed down by Huang Chao, two are poems about things with chrysanthemums as the theme. Among them, "Inscribed on Chrysanthemums" writes: "The rustling west wind fills the courtyard with plants, and the pistils are cold and fragrant, and butterflies are hard to come. If I were the Qing Emperor in another year, I would repay the peach blossoms."
It expresses his Tenacious fighting spirit and belief in victory. The realm of this song "Bu Di Hou Fu Ju" is more majestic and heroic than "Inscribed on Chrysanthemums". In this poem, the poet uses metaphor to give the chrysanthemum the heroic appearance and noble character of the peasant rebel army.
The first sentence "Wait until autumn comes on September 8th" means that the Double Ninth Festival has not yet arrived, and the poet wrote a poem to celebrate it. The word "waiting" bursts out suddenly, "suddenly sounds like firecrackers", with a sharp and exciting charm and a certain meaning of imminence. "September 8" is the day before the Double Ninth Festival, and we can examine it from the turbulent flow of poetry.
The poet did not write "September 9" but "September 8" not only for the sake of rhyme, but also to reveal an impatient mood, calling for the revolutionary storm to come as soon as possible.
The second sentence "After I bloom, hundreds of flowers will die", on the one hand, it shows readers an irresistible natural law. It uses the strong contrast between the golden chrysanthemums blooming proudly and the frost and the withering of hundreds of flowers. It shows the vitality of the chrysanthemum, and on the one hand it implies that once the peasant revolution storm comes, the corrupt Tang Dynasty will immediately turn into withered leaves like "a hundred flowers" encountering frost.
The third and fourth sentences, "The incense array reaches Chang'an, and the city is covered with golden armor" are the foresight and longing for the victorious prospect of chrysanthemums. The third sentence describes the smell, "the incense array reaches the sky and penetrates Chang'an". This fragrance is not a delicate fragrance, not a fresh fragrance, but an "incense array reaching the sky". The word "to the sky" expresses the strong fragrance of chrysanthemums.
The extraordinary momentum soaring into the sky; the word "Xiang Zhen" shows that when the golden chrysanthemum is victorious, it is not a single branch, but a group of people. It contains a simple and profound concept of peace in the world; a "transparent" The word "Chrysanthemum" also shows the refreshing and enterprising spirit of chrysanthemum, which spreads throughout the world.
The fourth sentence "The city is full of golden armor." "Mancheng" means that chrysanthemums are everywhere, all over Kyoto; "all over the city" means that there are no chrysanthemums all over Chang'an. Exceptions are all covered in golden armor. The words "full" and "complete".
This depicts the spectacle of chrysanthemums taking over the world - during the Double Ninth Festival, chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the whole of Chang'an becomes a world of chrysanthemums. This fully demonstrates the victorious prospect of the peasant revolutionary storm destroying the old, renewing, and dominating everything. .
This poem by Huang Chao uses chrysanthemums to express ambitions. It has a magnificent realm, magnificent spirit, strong writing style, and majestic style. It successfully creates the armor-clad lyrical protagonist.
The heroic image of a man holding a long sword in his hand and arrogant in the sky, with sentences such as "After my flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will kill you", "The city is full of golden armor", etc., with a sharp tone and fierce momentum, which will have a great impact on many future generations. The ideas of ambitious people have had a positive impact.
