Appreciation of Works
Literary Appreciation
The first two sentences are the sighs from the poet's heart, a kind of affectionate barrier, even if it is close at hand, it is like the end of the world. , just out of reach. First, two allusions are quoted to illustrate the meaning. One is to use Chang'e to steal the elixir and obtain the Immortal Moon to describe the Song sisters who have ascended to immortality. The other is to use Dongfang Shuo to steal the Queen Mother's flat peach three times to describe the poet himself. The author said: But the immortal , "Things are difficult to do at the same time" in two realms. Tonight, I can only look at the tall building. "Colorful Toad" is locked in a deep pavilion. There are many gates in the city. How can we meet each other? The two words "Jian" and "Lock" in these two sentences describe the various obstacles in the world, and wishes and reality are always contrary to each other. The same is true in love life. For the poet, the invisible obstacles in the world make him feel deeper.
The last two sentences point out "Moonlight Night". The poet's imagination and feelings of this scene at this time should be like this: What a good time it is in this bright moon, the moonlight is like silver, the peaceful and quiet night, if The three of us gathered in the corner of the landscape pavilion, talking about our ambitions, interacting emotionally, and admiring the bright moon. However, this was just a dream and imagination. When I looked up, I could only look up at your hanging hanging on the tall building in ecstasy. The water essence curtain is gone. At this time, the mood of the lyrical protagonist can only be the two lines written by the poet in the quatrain "Chang'e": "Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are in my heart every night."
The last two sentences of this poem have a special feature in conception, that is, "Ying" and "Wei" are in opposition, and "positive" and "anti" are combined, which further strengthens the meaning of deep love and the difficulty of beautiful things. The meaning of success. The words "***" and "still" in the sentence are also opposite to each other. "***" is a good intention, but "still" contains many obstacles and accidents in life. It seems that Li Shangyin is deep in emotion, but whether he can overcome his pursuit of fame is probably just "a jade tower or a water curtain". This is where the difficulty of being a human being lies.

Creation Background
In the eighth year of Taihe reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty (834), the "Manna Incident" occurred in Chang'an City that shocked the government and the public, and Li Shangyin was also affected. As a result, he decided to go to Yuyang Mountain to "learn immortality" in his hesitation. About four years later, he met the female Taoist priest Song Huayang, and may have fallen in love because of this. The poem "Repost to Song Huayang Sisters on a Moonlit Night" describes the emotion of first love at that time.
The poet has already sent a message of love to Sister Song Huayang, but has never received any news of Sister Song's return. Of course, the poet still has fantasies and realizes his emotional wishes, so he re-sent his lovesickness on "Moonlight Night", thus creating this poem this poem.
