The author of "Ode to the Mujiang River" is Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
The whole poem of "Ode to the Mujiang River" is as follows: A setting sun is spreading in the water, and half the river is rustling and half the river is red. The most adorable is the ninth day of the ninth month, the bright pearl lang lang crescent shaped like a bow.
The literal meaning of the poem: The setting sun is reflected on the river, and the sunlight is shining and sparkling; Half of the river is deep blue and the other half is red. The most lovely thing is that on the night of the third day of September, the dew is as bright as pearls, and the crescent moon is like a bow.
Appreciation of the whole poem:
The first two sentences are about the river in the sunset. "A setting sun is spreading in the water", and the setting sun shines on the river, but it says "spreading" instead of "photographing". This is because "setting sun" is close to the horizon, almost touching the ground, and it really looks like "spreading" on the river. The word "shop" also appears euphemistic and gentle, which describes the unique softness of the autumn sunset and gives people a cordial and leisurely feeling. "Half the river is rustling and half the river is red", the weather is clear and windless, the river is slowly flowing, and the river is wrinkled with tiny ripples. The part that receives more light shows a "red" color; Where there is little light, there is a deep blue color. The poet grasped the two colors on the river, but showed the scene that the twilight river was sparkling and the light color changed rapidly under the setting sun. The poet was intoxicated and put his own joy in the description of the scenery.
The last two sentences describe the night scene of the new moon rising. The poet lingered until the early moon rose and the cool dew fell, and a better realm appeared in front of him. The poet leaned over and saw that the grass by the river was covered with crystal dew. The drops of dew on the green grass are like pearls inlaid on it. Using the metaphor of "real pearl", not only the roundness of dew is written, but also the shining luster of dew under the brightness of new moon. The poet looked up again and saw a crescent moon rising, just like a delicate bow hanging on the blue sky. The poet condensed the two wonderful scenes in heaven and earth into one poem-"Dew is like a real pearl and the moon is like a bow". From a crescent moon like a bow, the author remembered that it was "the third night of September" at that time, and could not help but blurt out his praise for its cuteness and express his feelings directly, pushing his feelings to a climax and causing waves in poetry.
