Extended information:
This is the ultimate mutual enjoyment of poets and readers. This is art, and this is what Chinese classical poetry is particularly good at. The ancients once said that a good poem can "describe a scene that is difficult to describe, as it is now; the inexhaustible meaning lies beyond the words." Take this "Qingming" quatrain as an example. In a certain sense, it is well-deserved.
This little poem contains not a single difficult word, nor a single allusion. The whole poem is written in very popular language, and is written with great ease, without any trace of artificiality. The syllables are very harmonious and perfect, the scene is very fresh and vivid, and the realm is beautiful and interesting. It is also natural for poems to be told from chapter to chapter, and they are written sequentially.
The first sentence describes the situation, environment, and atmosphere, which is "qi"; the second sentence is "acceptance", which describes the character and shows the character's confused and confused state of mind; the third sentence is " "Turn", however, it also proposed a way to get rid of this state of mind; and this directly forced the fourth sentence, which became the highlight of the whole article-"He".
In art, this is a technique of starting from low to high, gradually rising, and putting the climax at the end. The so-called climax is not a sweeping view and a dull feeling, but a vague and thought-provoking aftertaste. These are the poet's brilliance, which are worthy of learning and inheritance by future generations.
