This poem has been handed down because it is novel and peculiar. The scenery and characters depicted interact with each other, making people visit Chengwei just like on the battlefield. Different from the second and third person, the author completely puts himself in the position of guarding the city and looks at the current affairs. This has led to a very commendable new way of writing. What has been celebrated through the ages is actually the poem "Dark clouds crush the city and want to destroy it", which makes people feel that the form is severe and there are dark clouds. His poems are novel because they always give people unexpected feelings and gains!
(1) First of all, from the verbal level, a good poem should not be a bunch of words, and a kind of "qi" must be infused between words. Han Yu said, "If you are energetic, you are suitable for short and tall people." "The article is the most taboo clothing, fire dragon is unknown. Who can nourish the air to fill the world and spit out self-sufficiency into a rainbow? " (Er Sheng Yun and Yang Bozi's Book) It is a high-level statement to be "full of qi" and "nourish qi to fill the world".
The "qi" injected by words in Li He's poems is not "all-embracing", but has its own unique characteristics. The poet's language tries to avoid dullness and pursue strangeness. In order to pursue strangeness, he pays attention to the color and modality of things, and expresses tense and tragic battle scenes with rich words, with novel ideas and rich images.
Generally speaking, it is not appropriate to write tragic and tragic battle scenes with colorful words, and almost every sentence of Li He's poems has bright colors, such as gold, rouge and purple, which are not only bright but also rich in color. They are intertwined with black, autumn and jade white, forming a colorful picture. Poets are particularly good at coloring, expressing things with colors and touching people with colors. He writes poems by thinking in images. He spread the wings of imagination, used painting to express his feelings, and used all kinds of novel and strong colors to describe things to express his thoughts and feelings.
In the first sentence, "Dark clouds crush the city and want to destroy it", the word "pressure" vividly reveals the number and ferocity of the enemy, the disparity in strength between the warring parties and the difficult situation of the defenders.
Such a beginning can lift the spirit of the whole poem, increase the brilliance of the whole poem and attract readers' attention. No wonder Han Yu, who originally wanted to sleep, was completely sleepy when he saw the first sentence of the poem. He read it all at once. After reading it, he shouted that he was "the enemy of Bai Zi" (Bai Zi is Bai Juyi).
Even a great writer like Han Yu was shocked by the "qi" potential of Li Heshi's speech. I forgot my fatigue and hurriedly invited Li He, showing the peculiar charm of Li Congratulation.
