The full text of the ancient poem "Moon Song of Mount Emei"
The half-autumn moon of Mount Emei casts its shadow into the water of Pingqiang River.
At night, the clear stream flows towards the Three Gorges. I miss you and go down to Yuzhou without seeing you.
Appreciation of the ancient poem "Mount Emei Moon Song"
"Mount Emei Moon Song" is a famous poem by Li Bai. In the twelfth year of Kaiyuan (724), Li Bai "went to the country with his sword, said goodbye to relatives and traveled far away". He wrote this poem on his night journey from Qingxi to Yuzhou.
The poem depicts a beautiful picture of the river in Sichuan. The first two sentences are about the night scene seen in the Qingxi boat: on the majestic and beautiful Mount Emei, in the quiet and clear autumn sky, half a bright moon hangs high; and in the Pingqiang River, the reflection of the autumn moon flows. The first sentence is about the author looking up at the autumn moon on the mountain, describing a static scene; the second sentence is about the author looking down at the moonlight in the river, describing a dynamic scene, and it is a moving scene seen by a moving person, with a strong sense of dynamics. Because the scene of "shadows entering the river and flowing water" can only be seen by people walking along the river. Therefore, this sentence not only writes the wonderful scenery of the moon shadow following the waves, but also darkly highlights the people riding the boat on the autumn night. It is written in an ethereal and beautiful way, which can be regarded as a vivid pen.
The third sentence writes about traveling out of Shu at night. The last sentence was written while thinking of friends. Seeing the moon along the river triggers thinking about friends while on the river. This is to cherish the scenery, but it happens that when I "miss you without seeing you", I have to "go to Yuzhou". The farther away I am from my friends, the farther away it is, the harder it is to see each other, and the feeling of "missing you" is also there. The stronger it is, the last sentence can be seen to be filled with a deep feeling of farewell in the seemingly ordinary narrative.
There are two interpretations of "Sijun" in the last sentence. It is said that I miss my friends, as mentioned above. Another saying is thinking about the moon on Mount Emei. Li Bai loved the moon all his life. In his mind, the moon is a symbol of brightness, brightness and the embodiment of beauty. Therefore, in his poems, there are so many praises for the bright moon and so much deep affection. He is indeed one of the poets who has described the moon the most and best in the history of Chinese literature. He not only loves the spring moon, but also the autumn moon; not only loves the river moon in a foreign land, but also loves the Emeishan moon in his hometown, because he has deep feelings for his hometown of Shu.
In this poem, the author uses the scenery to express his emotions, and expresses his deep love for his hometown through his longing for the autumn moon in Mount Emei. When the wooden boat sailed slowly towards the Three Gorges, the poet raised his head and stared at the half-round autumn moon. However, "In the seven hundred miles from the Three Gorges, there are mountains on both sides, and there is no gap; there are many mountains and rocks, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun. From the non-pavilion at midnight, there is no bright moon." (Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu") Feng Feng Returning to the river, the mountains are high and the moon is covered. The poet is about to leave Shu again, so he misses the familiar and bright moon of Mount Emei even more, and misses his lovely hometown illuminated by the moon. From this point of view, it seems that "missing you without seeing you" is called missing the moon, which is more poetic and more in line with the title of the poem (please refer to Li Bai's "Mount Emei Moon Song Sends Shu Monk Yan to Beijing": "When I was in the Badong Three Gorges" , Look at the bright moon in the west and remember Emei. The moon rises from Emei and shines on the sea, accompanying people for thousands of miles.")
Generally speaking, literary works, especially short poems, should not use too many names of people, places or numbers. Yang Jiong likes to use people's names for comparison: "Zhang Pingzi's brief talk, Lu Shiheng's notes" and so on, which were once ridiculed as "the book of ghosts"; King Luo Bin writes poems and essays, and he likes to use numbers, such as "The Qin Dynasty has been closed for a hundred and two years, and the Han family has left the palace for thirty years." Six", he was also ridiculed as a "doctor of calculations". In this quatrain of only twenty-eight characters, Li Bai actually used five place names: "Emei Mountain", "Pingqiang River", "Qingxi", "Three Gorges" and "Yuzhou". In quatrains, it may be the only one seen. However, it does not feel dull, stacked, or cumbersome. It reads smoothly and brightly. No one ridiculed Li Bai for writing a "journey list". On the contrary, it has been praised by future generations. Wang Shizhen said: "This is a beautiful place in Taibai. It will leave countless traces for future generations. It will help to see the wonder of this old furnace hammer." Wang Linzhou also praised: "Fifth of the four sentences in the place name are a masterpiece in ancient and modern times, and they are not tired of it." Heavy.
