Acacia once or twice
After the birth of palindromes, many literati followed suit in order to show their literary talent, and they also innovated on the basis of the original palindromes. The poet Li Yu also followed the trend and wrote a palindrome poem called Two Acacia. When reading this poem, it expresses the husband's yearning for his wife, and vice versa, it becomes the wife's yearning for her husband. It not only conforms to the characteristics of traditional palindrome poetry in form, but also has new innovations in artistic conception, which can be said to be an ancient poem.
It is precisely because of this feature of this poem that it also has two names, namely, "Poem of Thinking of Wife" and "Poem of Thinking of Husband", but many people think this is unnecessary. The original title of the poem written by the poet has clearly expressed these two meanings, which is very artistic.
Li Yu's "Two Acacia" occupies a very important position in the poetry of the Song Dynasty. Both husband and wife sincerely miss each other, which is an unprecedented poem. Of course, from between his lines, we can also see the poet's extraordinary literary talent and foundation, which is amazing and we have to admire the poet's thinking and literary talent.
Second, think about his wife's poems.
The poem "Two Acacia" is that the husband misses his wife. People come and go around me, but no one can understand my eagerness to see you. Now my hip flask is empty, but I can't write a poem because of my deep thoughts. The long journey has left us for a long time. I wanted to write to you, but I found that Hongyan had no books. I can only watch a lamp silently in the long night.
Although this poem does not use flowery words, the words are simple and plain, and there are not many words to express the thoughts, but in a few short sentences, the feelings of the husband who is far away from home for his wife and family are vividly expressed, and even a hint of homesickness is hidden, which makes people deeply moved.
Thirdly, Sifu's poems.
This is the magic of palindromes. It was originally the same poem, but when read in different ways, it will show different meanings. Reading backwards means that the wife misses her husband. On the other hand, the general meaning of this poem is this: the child is missing his father, and I am also missing my husband. I can only watch the lights alone at lonely nights. Hongyan hasn't returned your message for too long. The long separation has made our distance longer and longer. I want to write a poem to express my thoughts about you, but I can't write it. I want to drink my cup, but I'm afraid I'll drink it all. How long will it take for my bosom friend to come back to see me?
On the other hand, the protagonist's perspective and space have completely changed, from a homesick husband to a homesick wife at home. Although it is read backwards, the artistic conception and aesthetic feeling of the poem have not been destroyed at all, and the feelings of missing expressed are still very real.
A little poem has two completely different meanings. I have to say that China's vast culture is far from being understood by ordinary people. Nowadays, fast food culture is popular, so we should calm down and study these excellent cultures.
