The mountains are still the same, surrounded by abandoned ancient capitals, and the tide is beating against the lonely empty city as in the past.
In the old moon east of Huaishui, I also came to Nvbi at night.

Stone Town is located in Liangqingshan, Nanjing. Originally Jinling City of Chu State, Sun Quan rebuilt it in this name.
It borders the Yangtze River in the north and Qinhuai River in the south. According to legend, Zhuge Liang watched the battle at the top of the mountain and sighed, "The dragon plate in Zhongshan is surrounded by stones, and the emperor's house is also there." This is the first of Liu Yuxi's seven poems "Five Topics of Jinling". Bai Juyi, who called Liu Yuxi a "poet", bowed his head and sighed, praising "the poem on the stone said: the tide hits the empty city and it is lonely, and the poets I know no longer choose words." Liu Yuxi put these words into the introduction of the group poem, which shows that he regards this poem as a masterpiece.
Jinling is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties (Jin Dong, Southern Song, Qi, Liang and Chen). At that time, temples and pavilions, Yuefu was prosperous, and a group of monarchs and ministers pursued them at the expense of national subjugation. However, since the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen and moved the Governor's Office of Yangzhou from Jinling to Yangzhou, it has become the world of weeds in the ancient city and the object of historical vicissitudes for poets of past dynasties. The beauty of Liu Yuxi's poem lies in that it depicts the rocky mountains and the Yangtze River tides with faint pen and ink, and that the empty city of the old country is surrounded by mountains by tides, but it is so silent that there is no vitality response to the weather in the imperial capital. The mountains are tightly surrounded, which seems to remind people of the appearance of tigers in those days; However, the beating and return of the river tide only saw an empty city, and I don't know what the colorful towers and the prosperity of singing and dancing are.
Poetry is written from the ground to the sky, and the lost on the ground want to find the answer from the sky. The bright moon on the east side of Qinhuai River must have experienced the prosperity of the past, but it rose in the east and didn't shine into the city from the battlements ("female walls") until late at night.
Poets randomly pick up common images such as mountains, cities, water and the moon, and creatively combine them into an "image city" to conduct dialogues between cities and people and explore the mysteries of history. Images reflect and refract each other, forming the effect of image fusion, telling a story without stories, a story about historical vicissitudes and the rise and fall of cities, and a story with universal consciousness about change, instantaneity and eternity. Such a poet is also a philosophical poet or a poetic philosopher.
