works appreciation
The poem describes the scene of traffic jam and the sound of flute. In the frontier fortress, the flute kept flying out of the night music "Plum Blossom Fall", and the cold desert and the wall in front of the hall were all shrouded in the brilliance of the bright moon. The north wind has blown away. Where did it go? Originally, I flew high with the flute, the geese were too thin, and the clouds covered the fog.
Poetry vividly reproduces the musical image and artistic conception of the flute in Plum Blossom Fall. Zhang Hu attaches great importance to artistic conception in his music poems. For example, instead of playing the flute "Plum blossoms fall", it is said that "Plum blossoms fly in the flute", and then the mood of "cold sand and clear moon" is used to set off the sadness of the flute. Finally, "tall people fill the clouds, geese are rare" is a Qingyuan realm. The images of "cold sand", "north wind" and "cloud jam" in the poem all have a cold meaning, which is in harmony with the desolate scenery on the frontier fortress.
