Poetry and Moon of Young Genius

Looking at the moon after the rain

Tang Libai

The suburbs are overcast and hazy, and opening an account is half a toad.

Wan Li is comfortable with frost, and a river is horizontal.

when you are out, the mountain is white, and the sea is bright after you are high.

for pity, like a round fan, I sing to the fifth watch.

this poem is selected from: Wang Shujuan, Three Hundred Poems of Talented Teenagers in Past Dynasties, Times Literature and Art Publishing House, 1995?

a bright moon rises above the clouds outside the window. Yuan Ye, Wan Li, is filled with frost and fog, and a plain river stretches across the moon. When it first rises, the spring in the mountain is white, and when it rises, the sea water shines brightly. Just because I cherish this bright moon like a fan, I don't sleep, singing for it until the sky is slightly bright.

The poem "Looking at the Moon after Rain" was written by Li Bai in Shu when he was a teenager. It was written during the ten years when Kuang Shan lived in seclusion and devoted himself to studying. The thoughts and feelings expressed in the poem vaguely reveal the budding puppy love of young Li Bai, from which we can see the author's strong feelings about the beautiful moonlight after the rain.

The author has always described the whole process of the moon rising in detail. In the sentence "half a toad lives when you open an account", the word "half a toad" describes the appearance of the moon rising slowly from the mountain, half a charming face, and "Wan Li Shu Shuang" makes it looming, which has a mysterious beauty of "still hiding half her face from us behind her guitar".

The phrase "The mountain is white when it is out, and the sea is bright when it is high" vividly describes the beauty of the bright moon from the first rising to the high hanging over the river. The bright moon rises, floating in the mountains, and a round of silvery white is like the eye of the mountains, soft and gentle; Then it gradually rose until it hung high on the top of the night and shed a round and bright light.

In his poems, the author uses images such as "the eye of the mountain", "the heart of the sea" and "the round fan" to compare the moon, describing the bright, clean and round moon with few words but vivid images, and the use of various writing techniques makes the poems more romantic and dreamy.

Although moonlight and frost are common themes and images in ancient poetry, this poem "Looking at the Moon after Rain" by Li Bai shows unusual beauty with a common theme, which makes people feel like a magnificent picture.
