Extended information:
This is a seven-character quatrain from Pingqi. The beautiful scenery of Dongting has always been the favorite of poets. This poem was written in the autumn of the fourth year of Changqing. At this time, Liu Yuxi was demoted to the Southern Wilderness. He passed by Dongting Lake six times in twenty years. This poem was written when he was transferred to Hezhou. It was autumn when he arrived at Dongting Lake. In the poet's writing, it was the unique autumn beauty of Dongting.
The first line of the poem, "The two phases of the lake and the autumn moon are harmonious" describes a unique Dongting scene in front of the poet: the lake is shimmering, the moon has risen, the open lake surface and the bright moon in the sky form a A unique landscape. "There is no wind on the surface of the lake, and the mirror has not been polished." Here is a vivid metaphor. The quiet lake surface, without any wind, is as calm as a mirror. Because the sun has set at this time, the lake surface has dimmed, so it looks like an unpolished mirror. .
"Looking at the green mountains and rivers of Dongting in the distance" the poet's perspective changes from near to far, and the mountains, trees and water once again form a beautiful picture. "A Green Snail on a Silver Plate" once again uses a strange metaphor to describe the strange appearance of the mountain reflected in the water. This metaphor is a scene that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
This should be a magnificent and far-reaching picture, but here Liu Yuxi likened it to "a green snail", which suddenly brought the relationship between people, mountains and water closer. Such a strange idea could only be written by Liu Yuxi's magical pen. This poem shows Liu Yuxi's non-traditional and unique poetic style.
