The Tang Dynasty poet Zhao Gu has a poem "Late Autumn in Chang'an"!
It writes about the scenery of Chang'an at dawn in late autumn and my feelings of missing my hometown while staying in Chang'an.
The second couplet "At what time are the remaining stars crossed by wild geese, and with the sound of the flute a person leans on the building" means that when the night slowly recedes, there are still a few remaining stars in the night sky, a pair of returning southward stars. Wild geese fly across the sky. The poet, who was immersed in this scene, heard the sound of someone playing the flute upstairs. I think this person also stayed up all night, playing the flute and chatting to express his inner sorrow.
Here Zhao Gu not only wrote the sound of the flute on the tall building, but also wrote the posture of the man, "man leaning on the building", either the poet saw it with his own eyes or imagined it, but it all It fits this situation.
It is this "leaning on the building" that, on the one hand, brings out the author's unbearable homesickness, and on the other hand, because of this connotation, the gesture of leaning on the building becomes more and more aesthetic. Therefore, Du Mu particularly liked this poem at that time, and he directly called Zhao Gu "Zhao Yilou". So when later generations mentioned Zhao Gu, they also called him "Zhao Yilou".
