Tang Dynasty: Yan Lu
The setting sun is oblique and the autumn wind is cold. Whether the old friend will come or not tonight will make people do their best.
"The setting sun is oblique and the autumn wind is cold." First of all, it sets off the specific environment of the protagonist's life: the afterglow of the sunset, the autumn wind to send the cold. There are only six words, but they are full of words. In particular, the word "cold" not only highlights the cold silence of autumn dusk, but also sets off the poet's sadness of missing his friends, and makes preparations for the following "tonight" and skillfully puts down a sum.
"There will be an old friend to tonight? Teach people to do their best. " From the analysis of the full text, the poet had already made an appointment with friends. From the "sunset", he eagerly waited for the arrival of friends, and waited for a long time until the "Wutong Shadow Stand". At dusk, he arrived at the East Building. "Wutong Shadow" is obviously reflected by the bright moon. The disappearance of the "shadow" means that the moon has set and it is almost dawn. Waiting for friends to get together, but I haven't seen them for a long time, so I'm naturally anxious and don't complain. "Will the old friend come tonight?" Ask yourself, or ask people, or ask the sky, the earth, the stars and the moon? Yes, the poet is eagerly waiting for his friend. From "the setting sun is slanting, the autumn wind is cold" to the dead of night, the milky way is thin and the bright moon is sinking in the west. It not only shows a long wait, but also shows deep yearning and longing in anxiety and resentment. This is the special feeling of the characters in a specific environment. If this question is blurted out by the lyric hero, then the last sentence "Make a perfect picture of the phoenix tree" is meaningful, and "endless meaning is beyond words". A few words, vivid and affectionate, show that I have been waiting for my friends for a long time. The poet wrote the moonlight on the ground with a word "shadow", which could not evoke the deep feelings of missing friends; The lonely shadow of the moon cannot but touch the feeling of loneliness and cold; The phoenix tree is sparse, and the moon shadow is exhausted, which can not help but cause bitterness and yearning for a good night together.
There are 20 words in the poem, such as sunset, autumn wind and Wu Tongying. Poets are very good at using the external environment to set off the inner feelings of characters, so as to achieve the harmony between environment and feelings, scenery and feelings. This technique of borrowing scenery to express emotion is superior among the five pronouns in the late Tang Dynasty. Lv Yan's ci is as erratic and unpredictable as his fairy tales. In Liu Yong's Pour a Cup in the Northern Song Dynasty, "It's hard to be sad as a whole, and it's also the shadow of the phoenix tree", which means to attack the word.
