First, this poem "Seven Wonders" was inspired by the poet's relics, which caused discussions about historical events and historical figures. This poem is an epic. The focus of the poem is in the last two sentences, "Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, and Tongquetai locks Er Qiao". The writing method is purely theoretical, and critics at any time have no objection. However, the poet's exposition of historical facts has its own characteristics, that is, replacing abstract comments with images, which makes boring historical lessons extremely visible and sensible, and makes readers deeply influenced by his artistic power and feel memorable. Specifically, the last sentence is very ingenious. The author tells readers with a vivid scene of "The Bronze Birds Lock Er Qiao in Spring" that if the east wind is inconvenient for Zhou Lang, it will be the end of Wu Sheng's defeat, not Wu Sheng's defeat. This writing is called concrete discussion, and the abstract is called point-to-surface. This is the general law of literary and artistic creation, and most writers and literary critics with a little literary accomplishment know it well.
Secondly, Red Cliff has a novel exploration of the history of poetry. Generally speaking, poets often begin with the victory of form over the ancient base, chanting things are wrong. This model lasted for a long time, and it can be said that Liu Yuxi reached the peak. His "Five Topics of Jinling" and "Nostalgia of Xibao Mountain" are immortal masterpieces of this kind of poetry. Since it is the peak, it is difficult for future generations to surpass it. Du Mu is unwilling to follow Liu Yuxi's example and write another poem with the same effect as "The old moon was in the east of Huaishui, and it was late at night" or "The old king thanked the hall and flew into the homes of ordinary people". Therefore, in this poem, he shifted his own perspective, found a new way, left a precedent behind, bravely broke new paths, and took a broken halberd as the guide. This is the cleverness of Du Mu and the superiority of his epic. The beginning of this poem is also original, which is novel and unique compared with other epics. The last two sentences are the focus of the whole poem. Poets write from the face, use vivid language, and discuss in a lyrical way. Writing history in this way is very innovative and unconventional.
4. Introduction to the author
Du Mu (803-852) was born in Mu Zhi in Jingzhao Wannian (now Xi, Shaanxi). From the year of Bao Li Yuan in Tang Jingzong to the year of loving the emperor and blessing God for four years (825-907), 83 years of * * * is generally called the late Tang Dynasty in the history of literature. During this period, eunuchs were autocratic, cronies contended, and the Tang empire declined day by day. As the river goes from bad to worse, the power of the buffer region becomes stronger and stronger. Only twenty-two years after Du Mu's death, a peasant uprising led by Huang Chao broke out. The poet Du Mu lived in such a stormy late Tang Dynasty. He is the grandson of Prime Minister Du You. At the age of twenty-six, he was a scholar. Because of his straightforward personality, he was excluded by others. He has been an aide in Jiangxi and other places for ten years, and "promoting books, books, banquets and tours" is very disappointing. At the age of 36, he moved to Beijing as an official. Later, Li Deyu, the prime minister, excluded him and demoted him to Huangzhou and Chizhou. In the poetry circle of the late Tang Dynasty, he and Li Shangyin were collectively called "Hou Du Li" and "Xiao Du" to distinguish them from "Lao Du" (Du Fu). His poems are full of emotions about current events, expressing his temperament and poetic style.
