Listening to Ying Shi Playing the Piano and Appreciating Poetry

China's classical poems are very good at expressing music with clever metaphors. Generally speaking, there are three main ways of expression: one is to compare music with sound, that is, to compare music with the sound of nature; The second is the comparison between music and form, that is, the comparison between the image of music and the visual image; The third is to compare music with classics, that is, to express the effect of music with various legends about music. Listening to the Linguist Playing the Piano, Pipa Xing and Li Pingya all use the above three techniques to express music, but each has its own emphasis: Pipa Xing by Bai Juyi is better at expressing music with sound, Listening to the Linguist Playing the Piano by Han Yu is better at expressing music with form, and Li Pingya by Li He.
