Yangzhou's ten years, like a dream, wake up, but in the brothel women this is a fickle reputation. This poem is a lyric work of Du Mu recalling his life when he was an attendant in Yangzhou. The first two sentences of the poem are memories of Yangzhou life in the past: down and out, with wine as a companion; Qin Lou Chu, a beautiful girl, leads a romantic and dissolute life. "Chu people have a thin waist and a light palm", using two allusions. Chu waist refers to the thin waist of a beautiful woman. "King Chu Ling's waist is thin, and there are many hungry people in the country" (Han Feizi's handle). The palm refers to Zhao Yanfei, the queen of Emperor Han Chengdi, who is "light and can dance on the palm" (see the legend of Feiyan). Literally, these two allusions praise the beauty of prostitutes in Yangzhou. However, if we carefully consider the word "down and out", we can see that the poet is very dissatisfied with his situation of being a servant and relying on others, so he does not have a pleasant feeling when recalling his dissolute life. Why do you say that? Please look at the following: "I feel Yangzhou dream once every ten years", which is the poet's heartfelt sigh. It seems abrupt, but in fact it is consistent with the above two poems. "Ten years" and "one sleep" are relative in one sentence, giving people a strong contrast between "a long time" and "extremely fast", which shows the poet's deep affection. And this feeling comes down to the word "dream" of "Yangzhou Dream": In the past, I was debauched and bohemian; On the surface of the bustling, depressed bones are painful memories, wake up sad ... this is the poet's "send" "pregnant." Ten years later, Yangzhou was just a big dream. "Brothel with a fickle place of interest"-finally, even the brothel that I once secretly loved blamed myself for being fickle and ungrateful! The word "win" contains bitterness, self-mockery and self-blame. This is a further negation of Yangzhou Dream, but it seems so relaxed and humorous. In fact, the poet's spirit is very depressed. Ten years is not a short time in a person's life. What did you do and what did you leave behind? This is a poem that reveals pain. If you don't recite it repeatedly, you can't understand the feelings that the poet intends to imply. The predecessors' evaluation of quatrains is: "Three sentences are the main sentences and four sentences are thoughts" (Hu Zhenheng's Tang Yin Gui Qian), and Du Mu's quatrains can be said to be profound. This quatrain begins with reminiscence, the first two sentences are narrative, and the last two sentences are lyrical. Of course, three or four sentences are the original intention of "mourning", but the first sentence "being down and out with wine" is the reason for mourning and cannot be easily let go. In the past, the comments on this poem were completely focused on the author's "waking up in a busy dream and lingering in repentance", which was not comprehensive. The poet's "Yangzhou Dream" life is related to his political frustration. So this poem, in addition to confessing the accident, is full of dreams and unbearable memories.
