Recalling Three Poems of the South of the Yangtze River
Bai Juyi [Tang Dynasty]
The south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and the scenery is familiar in the past; the sunrise and the river flowers are as red as the fire, and the spring is as green as the blue. . Can you not remember Jiangnan?
When I recall the south of the Yangtze River, I remember Hangzhou the most; looking for osmanthus seeds in the moonlight in the mountain temple, watching the tide from the pillow in the county pavilion. When will we visit again!
I recall Jiangnan, and then I recall Wu Palace; a glass of Wu wine with spring bamboo leaves, Wu children dancing with drunken hibiscus. See you again sooner or later!
Translation
Jiangnan is a good place, and I was once familiar with the scenery there. In spring, the sun rises from the river, shining the river flowers redder than red, and the green river water is greener than the blue grass. How can one not miss Jiangnan?
The memories of the south of the Yangtze River are most easily reminded of Hangzhou: wandering in the Tianzhu Temple looking for the sweet-scented osmanthus blooming in the Mid-Autumn Festival, climbing up to the county pavilion to lie on it, and watching the rising and falling tide. When can we travel again?
After the memories of Jiangnan, it is easy to think of Wu Palace in Suzhou. Drink Wu Palace's fine wine and spring bamboo leaves, and watch the Wu Palace singers dance like charming hibiscus. When can we travel again?
Appreciation:
These three poems recall the past from the present and Suzhou and Hangzhou from Luoyang. The spans of present, past, south, north, time, and space are huge. The first two sentences of each poem recall the present and the past, living in Luoyang and yearning for the south of the Yangtze River. The middle two sentences of each song recall the most unforgettable past events in Jiangnan with infinite affection.
What about the conclusion? Then I return to today, hoping that one day those beautiful memories will become a living reality. Therefore, the entire group of words contains only a few crosses, but it attracts readers to enter the character on many levels, imagine the various situations that the protagonist has experienced in the past and present, and experience the various spiritual activities displayed by the protagonist in the past and present, thereby gaining endless aesthetic enjoyment. .
