Li Bai's "Moon Song of Mount Emei" Travel Map on the Shu River: Mount Emei - Pingqiang River - Qingxi - Yuzhou - Three Gorges The poem starts with "Moon on Mount Emei", indicating that the season is autumn. The word "Autumn" is placed at the end of the sentence upside down because of the rhyme. The air is crisp in autumn and the moon is extremely bright ("The Autumn Moon shines brightly"). The word "autumn" is also used to describe the beauty of the moonlight. It is easy to pick up and it is natural and wonderful. The moon is only "half round", which reminds people of the beautiful artistic conception of green mountains spitting out the moon. In the northeast of Mount Emei there is the "Pingqiang River", now the Qingyi River, which originates from Lushan County, Sichuan, flows to Leshan County and enters the Minjiang River. In the second sentence, "shadow" refers to the shadow of the moon. The two verbs "in" and "liu" form a linking predicate, which means that the shadow of the moon reflects into the river and flows away with the river. Life experience tells us that if we look at the moon's shadow in the water, no matter how the river flows, the moon's shadow will not move. Only when viewers go down the river can they see the wonderful scene of "shadows entering the river water". Therefore, this sentence not only describes the beautiful scenery of the Qingjiang River reflected by the moon, but also darkly highlights the boating on the autumn night. The artistic conception can be described as ethereal and wonderful. There is someone in the second sentence, and the person in the third sentence has already appeared: he is a young man who "went to his country with a sword, said goodbye to his relatives and traveled far away". When he left his hometown, he couldn't help but be reluctant to leave his hometown and friends. Seeing the moon while walking along the river is like seeing an old friend. However, the bright moon is not an old friend after all, so I can only "look up at the bright moon and express my feelings for the thousand miles of light". The last sentence, "Missing you without seeing me, I went to Yuzhou" reveals the infinite feelings of farewell. It can be said that the words are short but the love is long. This poem is a short quatrain. Quatrains are quite limited in expressing changes in time and space, so the general way of writing is not to transcend time and space at the same time, but the span of time and space expressed in this poem really reaches a state of freedom. Among the twenty-eight characters, there are five place names and twelve characters for ***, which are the only ones seen in ten thousand Tang Dynasty quatrains. "Fifth of the four sentences in the place name are included in it, and it is a masterpiece in ancient and modern times, but it is never too heavy" (Wang Linzhou said). The reason is that the poet's experience of traveling on the river and the feeling of missing friends are everywhere in the poem, and the mountains are everywhere. The symbolic artistic image of the moon unifies vast space and long time. Secondly, the treatment of place names is also full of changes. "Emei Mountain Moon" and "Pingqiang River Water" are place names attached to the scenery, which are fictitious; "Fa Qingxi", "Xiang Three Gorges" and "Xia Yuzhou" are practical, and their positions in the sentences are also different. There is no trace of it when you read it, and it is a wonderful introduction to chemical engineering. In terms of expressing emotions, except for "Emei Mountain Moon", there is almost no more specific description of scenery in the poem; except for the word "Sijun", there is no more lyricism. This poem only uses "Momei Mountain - Pingqiang River - Qingxi - Yuzhou - Three Gorges" to show a thousand-mile journey to Shujiang. However, the artistic image of "Mount Emei Moon" runs through the entire poem. , becoming a catalyst for poetry. The meaning evoked by it is quite rich. The moon follows people thousands of miles away and can be seen every night, making the feeling of "missing you missing" even deeper. The bright moon can be separated but cannot be approached, can be seen but cannot be reached, and it is also a symbol of missing friends. Wherever the moon is chanted, it expresses the feeling of longing for friends along the river, which is intoxicating. Regarding the "jun" in the article, one theory refers to the moon of Mount Emei. "Collection of Tang Poems": "The moon is between Qingxi and the Three Gorges, and half of the moon is no longer visible. The word 'jun' refers to the moon." One theory is that it refers to friends who live together in Mount Emei, so the mountain and moon in the poem also represent friendship. symbol.
