works appreciation
This is a landscape poem written by Li Bai when he lived in seclusion in Lushan Mountain.
The first sentence is "Purple smoke from the Rizhao incense burner". "Incense burner" refers to the incense burner peak of Lushan Mountain. This peak is in the northwest of Lushan Mountain, with a sharp and round shape, like a censer. Because of the waterfall, water vapor transpiration, in the bright sunshine, as if there is an indomitable spirit incense burner, purple smoke rises in Ran Ran. A word "life" brings the scene of smoke rising to life. This sentence set a magnificent background for the waterfall, and also rendered the atmosphere for the following direct description of the waterfall.
The second sentence is "overlooking a thousand waterfalls in Sichuan". The word "overlooking the waterfall" takes care of the title "overlooking the Lushan waterfall". "Hanging thousands of rivers" means that the waterfall is like a huge white practice, hanging straight from the cliff to the river ahead. The word "hang" changed from dynamic to static, and Visha wrote about the waterfall in the distance.
The third sentence "Flying down three thousands of feet" is a detailed description of the waterfall at close range. "Flying Flow" shows that waterfalls come out in the air and spew out. "Straight down" not only describes the steepness of the rock wall, but also describes the rapidity of the water flow. "Three thousands of feet" is an exaggeration, describing the towering mountains.
In this way, the poet felt that the majestic momentum of the waterfall had not been fully displayed, so he went on to say the fourth sentence, "It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." It is said that this waterfall "flew down", which makes people suspect that the Milky Way poured down from nine days. A "doubt" is ethereal and lively. If it is true, it makes people daydream, which adds to the magical color of the waterfall.
This poem is very successful in metaphor, exaggeration and imagination, with unique conception, vivid language and bright washing.
