Creation background
This poem named Lin 'an House was written by Lin Sheng, a scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty. This was written on the wall of a guest house in Lin 'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is an ancient "wall poem", and the original title is beyond doubt. This title was added by later generations.
Overall appreciation
This is a poem written on the wall of a hotel in Lin 'an. It not only expresses grief through the description of music scenes, but also multiplies emotions, which contains profound implications in the profound aesthetic realm. At the same time, the poet exposed the reactionary nature of "vagrants" in ironic language, and also showed the poet's anger.
In the first sentence of the poem, "There are green mountains and towers outside the mountain", the poet grasped the characteristics of Lin 'an City-green mountains and towers are lined up. This first describes the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, rolling mountains and pavilions. What a beautiful nature it is. As far as poetry creation is concerned, the poet's description of the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers shows a sense of pleasure. Then he wrote, "When will the West Lake dance stop?" The poet was hurt by the reality of this country. Such beautiful mountains and rivers were occupied by Jin people. The word "Hugh" in the poem not only implies the poet's heartache about the real social situation, but more importantly, it shows the poet's indignation that he blindly "Hugh" to make peace with those in power, unwilling to recover the lost land in the Central Plains, and only seeking peace and indulgence. In the poet's mind, "West Lake Song and Dance" is just a lewd song and dance to kill the fighting spirit against gold. How much he hopes that this kind of singing and dancing can "rest" as soon as possible. Here, the poet uses rhetorical questions, which not only strengthens his anger at these politicians who are unwilling to recover lost ground, but also shows the sadness caused by the poet's concern about the fate of the country.
The last two sentences are "warm wind makes tourists drunk and makes Hangzhou a continent". "Tourists" can't just be understood as ordinary tourists here. It mainly means that the ruling class in the Southern Song Dynasty forgot the national disaster, lived a quiet life and enjoyed themselves. This sentence and "When will the West Lake Dance be closed?" . In the face of this constant singing and dancing, the poet can't help but show his feelings when he looks at these "tourists" intoxicated. The word "warm wind" is a pun. In poetry, it refers to both the spring breeze in nature and the lewd wind in society. In the poet's view, it is this "warm wind" that blows the minds of "tourists" so intoxicated that they forget that their country is in danger. Among them, the words "smoked" and "drunk" are used skillfully.
