This poem was written by Kou Zhun when he was demoted, expressing the poet's sad autumn feelings and melancholy feelings.
The original poem is as follows:
Pavilion wall of Shuhe River (accurate mouth)
The shore is wide and sparse, and the waves are slender. You can't just rely on the threshold of danger to think about how long it is.
The rustling trees are far from the forest, and the autumn mountains are half sunset.
Writing background:
This poem was written by Kou Zhun when he was thirty-seven or eight years old. In the order of small preface, it is said that in the first year of Xianping (998), Heyang Town, "moved from Mao to Heyang in Qing Dynasty; Yue published a book and was divided into Shaanxi. Only two towns, overlooking Luoyang, are places with mountains and water. Every time I look at its height, I think about its scenery with poetry, and it has become four quatrains for a long time, written on the wall of the pavilion on the river. " It shows that this poem was written when the author was relegated. This is the third of four poems (spring, summer, autumn and winter).
Appreciate:
This is a lyric poem about the scenery, inscribed on the wall of a pavilion by the Yellow River. Since autumn scenery is the main scene, there are naturally some "worries".
The first sentence describes the scene on the Yellow River from three aspects. One is "width", and Wang Wan's "Until the Embankment at Low Tide Widens" was condensed into "wide shore" by the poet. The river is vast and the Yellow River is magnificent and broad. The second is "thin", because the river is very wide, there is no edge in sight, and the sun is going down. Nature is "smoke is hard to find trust" and you can't see the other side; Third, it is "sparse". There are few boats on the river. Although we can't see the lively scene of "winning every battle", it makes people feel that the river seems wider and the smoke waves seem thinner. What kind of feeling can the smoke waves on the river give people?
The word "thinking" in the second sentence answers the question raised earlier. What is the poet thinking about leaning against the railing by the pavilion? Maybe I thought of "enduring the tide to the sky", maybe I thought of "I would like to cross the Yellow River, and the ice choked on the ferry", maybe I thought of "The Yellow River fell into the East China Sea, and Wan Li surged into my heart" ... The resolute poet may be a little sad at this time, but how can he "hate his guts until it comes back" in the face of the Yellow River that "entered the ocean and never came back?
The fourth sentence is the best sentence of this poem, full of artistic conception. Reminds people of Bai Juyi's "a round of setting sun sprinkled in the water, half river rustling, half river red." This half autumn mountain is bathed in soft setting sun. Although it is not as gorgeous as "frost leaves are red in February flowers", it gives people a feeling of leisure, kindness and intoxication. As for the semi-invisible autumn mountain, the poet doesn't want to mention it, but what is his disappointment in front of this magnificent sunset picture of the Yellow River? At this point, how much aftertaste there is, let the readers taste it themselves.
