The Qinhuai River in the Sound of Oars and Shadows of Lanterns" is a lyrical prose about travel. The article begins with the author and his friends hiring a "seven board" to travel along the Qinhuai River. It cleverly uses the "sound of paddles and lights and shadows" as clues in writing, from Lishe Bridge to outside Dazhong Bridge, from the sunset to the full moon. The complete travel trace forms an obvious sequence of time and space.
At the same time, there are also emotional clues of the author running through it. At the beginning of the tour, the author's mood was calm, he tasted it calmly, it was pleasing to the eye, and he was intoxicated by the scenery of the Qinhuai River at night. And when describing the lights, water colors and moonlight, he poured his deep emotions into them. Then the prostitute boat in the Qinhuai River caused Zhu Ziqing to "encounter an intractable dispute", and the article took a big turn. The author's mood changed, from being intoxicated with the beautiful scenery to feeling lost in reality. The second half of the article, when the author expresses his "disillusionment", creates a space for readers to reflect and imagine. Another outstanding feature of the structure of this prose is that the author closely follows the characteristics of summer nights on the Qinhuai River, using moonlight, lights, water color and other scenery as description objects, with lighting as the focus, not only describing in detail different times and different waters It also expresses the changes of lights, river water and moon, and also expresses the unique artistic conception of Chinese lanterns reflecting water and lanterns and moon shining together, allowing readers to appreciate "The reason why the sky is thicker than the Qinhuai River" and "The sky is thicker than the Qinhuai River". "The reason why we are thick" has many new and unique flavors.
