? In the Qing Dynasty, Wu Changqi commented in "Deleting Tang Poems": "It is neither ancient nor illegal, and it is also ancient and legal. Why should Li Tang be lonely? " ? He said, Cui Hao? Yellow Crane Tower? "It is not only the first of the seven laws in the Tang Dynasty, but also a swan song throughout the ages. In recent years, Zhonghua Book Company and Wang Zhaopeng are among the best in the list of Tang poems based on big data analysis. So, how good is this "Yellow Crane Tower"? Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower is called "the first of the seven laws of the Tang Dynasty" by Yan Yu and Wu Changqi, which means it is a seven-character poem? Rhyme? . Then let's take a look at the first four sentences to see if they conform to the format of the seven laws. The first four sentences, except the second, are illegal. In the third sentence, "Yellow crane will never come to the soil again", six of the seven words are boring; The last three words of the fourth sentence "and the white clouds never fly" are all flat sounds, which are called "three flat tails" Besides, the first three sentences all have "yellow crane", and one word is used repeatedly. These are taboos of orthographic poetry, not to mention its antithesis at all!
? What about the last four sentences? It is also the standard form of metrical poetry. Then the first four sentences of this poem are not metrical poems, and the last four sentences are a combination of standardized metrical poems. Why is it also called "the first of the seven laws of the Tang Dynasty"? In fact, Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower is a variation of the Seven Rhymes, which is mixed with ancient rhyme. Its first four sentences are ancient poems, based on ancient rhyme, to show the loudness of ancient songs. Poetry critics say that this writing style did exist in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but after the middle Tang Dynasty, the times changed, the environment changed, and the poetic style became sad, and the ancient method of this variant became less and less. Even if someone wrote it, its momentum and brushwork were far less than that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, so this kind of writing method of mixing ancient times gradually disappeared. In the history of poetry, few people can master this variation of metrical poetry which combines ancient style with metrical style. Cui Hao, on the other hand, combined the two perfectly, reaching the extreme, which was insurmountable for future generations.
? We know where the Tang poetry is? Seven-character verse? In fact, no one can surpass Du Fu, especially in meter. On the other hand, Cui Hao is very original. As the saying goes, "it is difficult to transcend nature by combining ancient methods"! However, this poem "Yellow Crane Tower" won the honor of "the first of the seven laws of the Tang Dynasty", not only because it is a variant poem, but also because of its "qi" and "emotion". The poet stood on the Yellow Crane Tower, looked around, and looked at the place where immortals ascended to immortality by cranes. He also had the idea of "I want to go home by wind". But poets can't go with the wind. What he saw was a fairy in the sky, a long white cloud that remained unchanged for thousands of years. At this time, he will give birth to the feeling that time is gone forever, and he will give birth to the regret that the fairy has gone invisible.
? The first four sentences of the poem are not boring at all, although the three "yellow cranes" are used together. Three "yellow cranes" went straight down and ran through, as if they blurted out and poured thousands of miles. Although this poem is not harmonious, its syllables are clear and lively, and it is not awkward to read. Jin Shengtan said that the beauty of this poem is that "it is amazing to connect the words' yellow crane' with a giant pen". Zhao Chen-Yuan even said, "What is particularly wonderful is that you say yellow crane, yellow crane and yellow crane, and suddenly white clouds meet. Readers don't think it is sudden, natural or unreasonable." Why is this? Its qi is enough to fill it, and God is far enough away. "This kind of unrestrained writing breaks the limitation of time and space, especially the limitation of time, and connects the long river of time. Time is eternal and time flies. Then, the poet pulls his thoughts back from the past to the present and looks from the sky to the present. The native trees in Hanyang opposite are vivid, and the grass on Nautilus Island in front is flourishing. No matter what time and space you face and cross the vast time and space, you will always be the living soul of the poet, so at the end of the poem, you should return to the poet's mind-"Where is the sunset shining first, the river waves are covered with sad fog". The poet has only Hanyang Tree and Nautilus Island in front of him, but he can't see his hometown. At this moment, at this dusk, on this Yellow Crane Tower, he naturally looks into the distance, looking at his hometown across the thick fog, and his feelings naturally fall on that thick homesickness.
Facing the vastness and remoteness of time and space, facing the lush vegetation and vast smoke waves in front of us, people have nothing to rely on, and their sense of loneliness also rises. Therefore, the emotional orientation of this poem is not only homesickness, but also the infinity of time and space and the loneliness of people's hearts, which makes this poem have a strong artistic appeal. Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower is a poem that has never been sung before.
