What is the meaning of "sunset" in "Sunset and Lonely Qi Fei, Autumn waters are long and the sky is one color"?

"Sunset" in Sunset and Lonely Qi Fei refers to "moths scattered".

Many books have two interpretations of "sunset glow": one refers to sunset glow. For example, Wang Bo's sentence "The sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn water is * * * and the sky is one color"; The second one refers to the name of the piano. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Guimeng's poem "Night Answer" said: "The sunset glow is flowing, and the mountains and rivers are singing." The former meaning is obviously a misunderstanding.

To understand the meaning of "sunset", we must analyze it in the geographical environment of Nanchang. Wu, a Song Dynasty poet, once wrote in the article "A Random Record of Changing Zhai: Discrimination": "There are autumn moths in Feiyun at sunset, and if it is wheat moths today." It turned out that in Nanchang area at that time, in August and September, there was a kind of moth in the field, and the number was very large. When flying on the river, it fell into the water one after another, attracting fish to swim around for food.

Locals call this moth "Xia Mo" or "Xia Mo" for short. "Summer moths" fall like rain, which also attracts wild ducks (emus) to swim for food, so there is a strange scene and spectacular picture of "the sunset is lonely in Qi Fei".

There are many textual researches on the theory that "Xia" refers to "Xia moth". Yu Yuan De, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, pointed out in his book Snowflakes: "The sunset is a moth, not a rosy cloud. Ducks are ducks. Wild ducks want to eat after moths, so Qi Fei. "

The sentence "The sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn waters are * * * the sky is one color" is a sentence that describes the natural landscape of a place with Yu Xin's Fu on Ma Su.

Extended data:

Wang Teng Pavilion is located on the banks of Ganjiang River in Nanchang, Jiangxi. Wang Teng Li Yuanying, son of Tang Gaozu, was founded when he was the secretariat of Hongzhou. Later, Yan was the shepherd of Hongzhou, and the banquet group was on the pavilion. Wang Bo's father passed by and improvised. At that time, everyone was surprised to raise their seats, especially Yan. When he read the sentence "The sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the sky is the same as the autumn water", he suddenly said, "Genius!" "

"The sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn water is the same as the sky." This sentence is known as the eternal swan song, and the moth is from top to bottom; Lonely birds compete for food, from bottom to top; Two things intersect, just like Qi Fei. The sky is clear, and the sky is connected with water.

What is particularly amazing is that this antithesis is very neatly written: Sunset and Loneliness are relatively exquisite and wonderful, with the first sentence written as "moving" and the next sentence written as "static". The combination of motion and static makes the picture beautiful and spectacular.
