According to our timeline, the second ancient poem "Long Songs" of the pre-Tang Dynasty, let's interpret it today.
First, the first reading of poetry.
This song "Long Songs" was also included in Han Yuefu, and was later compiled into Yuefu Poetry Collection by Guo Maoqian in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Second, read the poem carefully.
Long song line: the name of the Han Yuefu tune.
Sunflower: Winter sunflower, one of the important vegetables in ancient China, can be used as medicine.
Xi: Dawn means sunshine.
Yangchun: Warm spring.
B: Here, here.
Dez: Grace.
Autumn Festival: Autumn.
Yellowing: describes the yellow appearance of vegetation.
Flower: the same as "flower". (homophone)
Decline: in order to rhyme, it can be pronounced as "Cui" according to the ancient sound.
Hundred rivers: rivers.
Acts: in vain.
Interpretation of the whole poem: in the early morning, there are green sunflowers in the garden, and the crystal clear morning dew is waiting for the sun to dry. Spring scatters the hope of happiness all over the earth, so all living things are thriving. I often worry that when autumn comes, flowers and leaves will turn yellow and wither. Thousands of rivers flow eastward into the sea. When can they flow back to the west? If you don't know how to be strong when you are young, you will be white-haired and accomplish nothing when you are old, and it is useless to be sad again.
Third, intensive reading and thinking about poetry.
The first four sentences of this poem paint us a beautiful spring scene. The green sunflowers in the garden still have morning dew. Spring is rising, the morning dew is dry, and the vegetable garden is bathed in sunshine. However, when autumn comes, they will lose their bright colors and become yellow and withered.
This is the scene we can imagine from the poem. With the alternation of seasons, everything in the world has changed in different ways.
Fourth, read and understand the beauty of poetry.
After feeling the changes of the four seasons, the author thinks of the process from youth to old age, just like a river that flows into the sea from the east but never returns. Age and years are gone forever. I hope I can learn to cherish time and work hard when I am young, and don't wait until I am old to regret it, but I can't change anything.
This is an inspiring poem, and the last four sentences will be often used in future exams.
Five, reading poetry
After understanding the author's thoughts and feelings, I have a certain understanding of the pause, rhyme and rhythm of each sentence. It is better to write it down.
