There used to be a phoenix on the phoenix platform, and the phoenix went to Taiwan, only Jiangdong returned.
Martial arts flowers were laid on deserted paths, and the number of relatives and friends in the Jin Dynasty has become a famine.
The mountains are shrouded in clouds, such as blue sky, and the river is divided into two.
There is always a traitor in power, like covering the sky, and Chang' an is depressed when he can't see it.
The whole poem is full of melodic beauty, which makes people deeply moved. The poet Li Bai saw the magnificent scenery on the Phoenix Terrace, which triggered his whimsy, recalled the historical stories that happened here many years ago, missed the past, hurt the present, and felt the real life and his bumpy life. Let's read carefully sentence by sentence and feel what Li Bai wants to say.
Lipper
Let's look at the first couplet. There is a phoenix on the Phoenix Terrace, but after the Phoenix has left, the Phoenix Terrace is still there, and the surging river under the Phoenix Terrace is still flowing eastward. These two poems not only describe the scenery that the poet saw when he boarded the Phoenix Terrace, but also describe the association caused by the poet on the Phoenix Terrace, explain the writing place of the poem and broaden the artistic conception of the poem.
Look at couplets again. These two poems tell the story that the poet saw the palace built here by the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. The paths beside these buildings are covered with flowers and weeds. During the Jin Dynasty, the king's mausoleum was also desolate and turned into ancient hills and loess. These two lines of poems are reminiscing about ancient historical events. During the Three Kingdoms period, the State of Wu built a palace in Jinling City, and the princes and princes of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also built their capital here, leaving many memories. At this time, Li Bai stood on the Phoenix Platform and lamented the history. In fact, he is also lamenting the changes in life and the unpredictable historical situation.

Then read the neckline. These two poems say that there are three mountains in the distance on the Phoenix Platform, but the clouds are lingering. It seems that half of the three mountains are floating in the sky, and there is a Egret Island in this river, which seems to divide the turbulent river into two halves. The poet's brushwork in these two poems is very novel, which not only broadens their horizons, but also personifies Egret Island in an ingenious way, making it seem that he can split the great river in two. Generally speaking, these two sentences describe the scenery seen on the Phoenix stage very broadly. From top to bottom, there is a sense of hierarchy and space, as if a painting came into view.
Finally, let's look at the couplets. These two poems are about looking at the mountains covered by clouds, as if the clouds have covered many people's hearts. When we think of Chang 'an without clouds, our hearts are even more helpless and depressed. Understanding these two sentences should be combined with Li Bai's historical environment and allusions at that time. Li Bai was not reused, and he was very depressed when he met talents. He should have been happy to see this mountain and water, but he was sad and lamented at the thought of his bumpy life.

Li Bai's feelings are not directly expressed, but set off by the majestic scenery of the Phoenix Tower, but they can be empathetic when read, as if they were there. Going back to the first question raised at the beginning, Li Bai saw the magnificent scenery of the river in Phoenix Terrace, including mountains, floating clouds, Egret Island and the Imperial Mausoleum.
Then the second question is why Li Bai wants to express such strong affection and emotion. It turned out that Li Bai had some helplessness in his heart and his talent was not reused. He travels all day, writing poems and articles. When he saw such a magnificent river view of Phoenix Terrace, he couldn't help feeling deeply. He thought that the ancient princes and princes would only become fleeting after a hundred years, and he realized that life was in a hurry.
Phoenix once played here, so that this place is named after them. What Li Bai thought and remembered when he boarded the Phoenix Tower, he wrote in this poem with his own pen. Some people can understand his poems, others can understand and empathize with them. How many lofty sentiments and ambitions, how many ups and downs of life, leave them to others.
