Writing about "missing home": There is not a single word "thinking" in the whole poem. The author expresses his homesickness by imagining the scene of his family gathering together on the winter solstice night.
Language characteristics: The whole poem does not have sophisticated or beautiful rhetoric, no strange and novel imagination, but only uses plain narrative.
The first two sentences of this poem are documentary, and the side says "homesickness". The first sentence describes the guest's modesty, which has planted the root of "homesickness". In the Tang Dynasty, people were supposed to celebrate the Winter Solstice at home with their loved ones. But now the author encounters this festival in Handan inn and doesn't know what to do. The second sentence is about the author celebrating the festival in Handan Inn.
The word "hug one's knees" vividly depicts the posture of sitting down. The word "in front of the lamp" not only dyes the environment, but also highlights the "night" and highlights the "shadow". The word "companion" connects "body" and "shadow" and gives "shadow" human feelings. Only the shadow of the figure sitting with his knees in his arms accompanies the body sitting with his knees in his arms. The author's loneliness and homesickness are beyond words.
The last two sentences use imagination and write "homesickness" on the front. What's touching is that the scene he imagined when he was homesick was actually how his family missed him. During this winter solstice festival, because I traveled far away from home, my family must have had a very unhappy time. Everyone who has enjoyed family happiness and has had similar experiences can think a lot based on their own life experiences. The author did not use gorgeous words or excessive artistic techniques, but used plain and simple language to express his homesickness vividly.
