Make an appreciative comment
The first sentence describes the poet's pleasant environment, the moonlight is hazy, and the moonlight on Qingming night is so beautiful that the poet is fascinated. The confession of the environment sets off the poet's love for beautiful scenery and shows the poet's leisure.
In the second sentence, the poet was in a mansion under the jasper railing and red brick wall on a moonlit night with a breeze. The poet used the word "blue and red" to express his happy heart. At night, all he expected was some beautiful colors and elaborate buildings, which made him happy and cheerful.
The third sentence is about the poet pacing alone and singing in the circuitous corridor. On such a clear night, under the charming moonlight, the poet enjoys his heart, sings and sings in the cloister to express his inner happiness.
In the fourth sentence, I admit that the poet's thoughts drifted into the distance, and he happened to hear the strings of orchestral music in the distance, so the poet calmed down and listened carefully to the strings, which naturally made him restless. On the other hand, "remote listening" and "dark watching" also show the poet's concern for reality.
The beauty of the whole poem lies in the coldness of the Qingming night, but it has its own style. Although it is clear, it is intended to write an affair of a girl who loves spring outside the paper. The sentence "It's Qingming Day again" has a unique charm. This poem is based on materials and has a unique conception; This poem also shows the poet's subtle psychology of nostalgia for the beautiful scenery and deep fear that spring will leave, but there is no word to express his mind directly. The poet's intention of cherishing spring is undoubtedly self-evident.
Distinguish and appreciate
Qingming Night is Bai Juyi's custom of going out for a walk in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
In ancient times, outing was also called "seeking spring" and "Spring Festival", which was popular in Jin Dynasty. Tomb-Sweeping Day is also a good time for people to have a spring outing. Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, beautiful spring scenery, getting close to nature and outing is another important activity of Tomb-Sweeping Day custom. At present, it is generally believed that this Tomb-Sweeping Day custom inherited the tradition of the third day of March and was formed at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. An important content of Shangsi Festival is that young men and women go out for an outing and choose their spouses freely.
But the beauty of this poem is that it is neither clear nor cold. It has its own style. Although it is clear, it is intended to write the affair of a girl who is in love with spring outside the paper. The phrase "clear again" makes people laugh and ask, "But are you worried about getting married?"
I have always had a good impression on Bai Juyi. Although Pipa Xing and Song of Eternal Sorrow once made me recite it with pain, when I grow up, I think about it carefully, but its famous sentences can be seen everywhere. I chose this song because it has clear artistic conception and bright color contrast, but it is not dazzling. The poet enjoyed listening to flowers at night, but he took a short rest around the cloister, but implicitly pointed out the poet's real intention after this leisure.
