Ma Zhiyuan was undoubtedly influenced and inspired by Dong Qu when he wrote Tianjingsha Qiu Si, but he did not blindly imitate it, but recreated it according to his own life experience and aesthetic vision. In the choice of scenery, in order to highlight and strengthen the sad feelings, he chose the scenery that best reflects the bleak depression in autumn.
Put ten images that can best express travelers' lonely and melancholy feelings into the song, concentrate their feelings in these ten images, and finally reveal the theme of the whole song with a touch of sunshine. He deleted some beautiful scenery, but it was not consistent with the feelings expressed. For example, the thatched cottage reflects flowers, the sunset glow reflects the sunset, and the area is picturesque, which makes the image of the whole song unified in expressing emotions.
On the tempering of words and phrases, Ma Zhiyuan fully demonstrated his talent. The first three sentences are eighteen words, all nouns and adjectives, without verbs. The relationship between various scenes and their respective dynamics and forms depends on the reader's understanding according to the organization and arrangement order of images and his own life experience.
