What kind of picture does the poem "cold water in a smoke cage and sand in a moon cage" depict?

It depicts a hazy and desolate scene on both sides of Qinhuai River. With the word "cage", the four kinds of scenery, such as smoke, moon, water and sand, are integrated, which makes people feel a cold atmosphere. This is also a portrayal of the poet's mood at this time. Cold clearly describes the coldness of the river and expresses the endless desolation and sadness in the author's heart.

"Bo Qinhuai" was written by Du Mu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty.

The smoke cage is full of sand in the cold moon and near Qinhuai restaurant at night. Strong women in business don't know how to hate their country, but they still sing backyard flowers across the river.

Blurred moonlight and light smoke enveloped the cold sea and white beach, and the boat was moored at Qinhuai restaurant on the shore at night. The singer doesn't know what the revenge of national subjugation is, but she is still singing "Flowers Crossing the River in Yushu Back Garden".

This poem was written by the poet when he stayed at Qinhuai overnight. The first half writes the night view of Qinhuai, and the second half expresses feelings. He used the history of Chen's pursuit of debauchery and enjoyment to finally die, satirizing the rulers of the late Tang Dynasty who were drunk and dreamed of death without learning lessons, showing the author's incomparable concern and deep anxiety about the fate of the country.

The whole poem contains feelings in the scenery, with sad artistic conception, deep and subtle feelings, refined language and ingenious artistic conception. The combination of scenery writing, lyricism and narration has a strong artistic appeal.

Creative background: Du Mu was very concerned about politics in his early days, and he was worried about the riddled Tang Dynasty. He saw that the ruling clique was decadent and fatuous, that the buffer region was in a state of chaos, and that there were frequent border troubles. He deeply felt that social crises were everywhere and the prospects of the Tang Dynasty were worrying. This thought of worrying about the times and hurting the world prompted him to write many poems with practical significance. Bo Qinhuai was also produced on the basis of this idea.

The Qinhuai River in Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, has always been a place for dignitaries to have a full meal, and "Qinhuai" has gradually become synonymous with extravagant life. The poet stayed here all night, watching feasts, listening to romantic love songs, touching the scene, thinking of the decline of the Tang Dynasty and the fatuity and debauchery of those in power, deeply moved, and wrote this song "Bo Qinhuai".
