Dismount and board Yecheng. If the city is empty, what can I see?
The east wind blows wildfire, and at dusk it enters the non-cloud hall.
To the south of the corner of the city, Wanglingtai and Zhangshui flow eastward, which is gone forever.
The people in Emperor Wudi's palace are empty, and spring scenery comes for whom every year.

Distinguish and appreciate
The first sentence is the topic, and the second sentence is the word "empty", which dominates the whole article. This "emptiness" is not only a summary of the desolate environment of the former site of Yedu, but also a manifestation of the poet's lack of mood because of his presence, which contains sadness and homesickness. The word "your opinion", with doubt, naturally leads to the specific description of the middle four sentences. Spring breeze awakens everything and flowers bloom. However, in Yecheng, there is only phosphorus fire with the east wind, and the twilight fills the empty temple. Wang Lingtai, once a symbol of prosperity, can only be silently opposite to the lonely city, and the water is speechless. These four sentences are derived from "emptiness", one is the emptiness of spring scenery, the other is the emptiness of kings, and the third is the emptiness of red powder. The sentence of "Zhang Shui" boils down to the above three emptiness, which always means that the prosperity of the past and the prosperity of the inheritance have gone to the East, that is, the emptiness of time. In the last two sentences, I lamented that the personnel were different and the spring scenery remained the same.
This poem takes "emptiness" as the main line, and through three levels of generalization, detail description and expression, it writes the "four emptiness" of the ancient capital Yecheng, mourning for historical sites, sighing for life and expressing feelings in the scenery. The first four sentences of the poem are five words, the last four sentences are seven words, and the rhyme is changed in the middle, which is very suitable for expressing nostalgic themes.
Extended reading: Cen Can's historical evaluation
The main ideological tendency of Cen's poems is the heroic spirit of generosity to serve the country and the optimistic spirit of being fearless of difficulties. The artistic momentum is magnificent, the imagination is rich, the exaggeration is bold, the color is gorgeous, the creativity is novel, and the style is steep. He is good at depicting the magnificent frontier scenery with seven-character songs and expressing his uninhibited feelings. Du Zhen, a Tang Dynasty poet, compiled Cenjiazhou's poems, and later generations' collections evolved accordingly. Nowadays, Chen Tie people and Hou people have "Collection of Notes". His deeds can be found in Du Que's Preface to Cenjiazhou Collection, Chronicle of Tang Poems and Talented Persons of Tang Dynasty. Along with Gao Shi, he is also known as "Gao Cen".
Cen Can's poems are characterized by heroic spirit of serving the country generously and optimistic spirit of not being afraid of hardship, which is consistent with Gao Shi. The difference is that he describes the richness of frontier life more than the sympathy for foot soldiers in Gao Shi's poems. This is mainly because his background and early experience are different from Gao Shi's.
Cen Can's poems are full of romantic features: magnificent, imaginative, colorful, passionate and unrestrained, and his curious ideological character make his frontier poems present strange artistic charm. His poems have various forms, but he is best at seven-character poems. Sometimes two sentences turn, sometimes three sentences and four sentences turn, constantly rushing and jumping, full of images everywhere. It can be seen from his famous works, such as Night Collection of Judges in Liangzhou Pavilion, that he also attaches great importance to learning from folk songs.
Du Que's Preface to Cenjiazhou's Poems says that his poems are handed down from generation to generation. Although he is a scholar and a savage, he is full of irony. " It can be seen that his poems were widely circulated at that time, not only appealing to both refined and popular tastes, but also deeply loved by people of all ethnic groups. Fan Yin and Du Fu praised his poems before his death. Lu You, a patriotic poet in the Song Dynasty, even said that his poems were "chasing Du Li with a pen" (reading Cenjiazhou's poems at night). Although the evaluation may be a little excessive, Cen's poems are touching, but it is conceivable.
