Today we saw this famous volcano, which stands high in the east of Puchang County. The red flame burns the clouds in Hu-day, and the hot air flows through the frontier fortress. I wonder why the heat energy composed of yin and yang burns alone in this mountain. Winter winter comes here, and the mountain is still a hot air. People and horses are sweating profusely. Who can explore the mysteries of nature?
Volcano appreciation:
With the ambition of making contributions, the poet left Chang 'an, the capital of Beijing, to work in Anxi. He passed by Puchang, and the flaming mountain stood in front of him. The flames were blazing and the wonders were magnificent, which aroused his lofty sentiments. Therefore, he designated the volcano. "Today, the volcano began to see, and suddenly Puchangdong." The word "start" makes seeing be believing sigh. The word "abrupt" not only outlines the towering appearance of the volcano, but also depicts the majestic momentum of the volcano rising from the ground and soaring into the sky. The opening sentence is magnificent.
Then he wrote down the power of the volcano: "The red flame burns the clouds, and the inflammatory atmosphere steams the air." "Lu Yun" and "emptiness" not only represent lofty space, but also symbolize the world of alien activities. However, the flame of the volcano can burn the clouds in the distant sky, and the hot air churns and vaporizes the vast space. Putting the volcano between the vast sea of clouds in the sky to contrast its heat, the association is reasonable, the exaggeration is just right, the words are refined and the meaning is long. In particular, the word "burn" points the flame of the volcano at the cloud; The word "steaming" makes the hot air of the volcano spread far and wide, from low to high, from near to far, and with the spread of volcanic heat, it vividly depicts the prestige of the volcano.
This romantic exaggeration is not an empty sigh, but based on the truth of life and the poet's lofty aspirations. Here, the poet does not stick to the fine carving of the red rock scorched earth in the close view of the volcano, but focuses on the distant "red flame" and "inflammatory gas", "cloud" and "ethereal", which makes the poem full of profound artistic conception.
Then, the poet exclaimed in the rhetorical question: "I don't know the yin and yang charcoal, why burn it alone?" Jia Yi wrote "Bird Fu" in the former Han Dynasty and said: "Heaven and earth are furnaces, which are naturally made; Yin and Yang are charcoal and everything is copper. " Cen Can used Wen Jia to conjure up a novel artistic conception: the stove is as big as heaven and earth, and there is a lot of fuel, which combines yin and yang in one place to burn the stone mountain. It means that the volcano is unparalleled in the world, and it is the highest of all things in the world.
The last four sentences: "When I came to winter, there was a strong downwind at the foot of the mountain. People are sweating and know how to make chemicals! " In contrast, the power of the volcano is reproduced, and many things are praised, forming a coherent momentum. The poet came from Chang 'an, and it was freezing all the way, but the frontier volcano steamed people and the people sweated like rain. How can human beings do this kind of work of driving away cold and generating heat if it is not divine?
Here, through his own eyes and personal feelings, the poet truly describes the strange and strange scene and endless power of the volcano. It is conceivable that before the poet came to the volcano, he was touched by the scene and was in high spirits, which further stimulated his ambition to display his grand plans in the frontier fortress.
