Specifically, it expresses the theme that "no one can miss his hometown" by describing the "willow song" heard by a wanderer living in Los Angeles. It can be said that the last sentence "people who can't afford to miss home" is the finishing touch and points out the main idea.
Li Bai's four-line poem "Smelling the flute in Los Angeles on a Spring Night", which is called "breathtaking beauty", was selected as the second volume of the seventh grade Chinese textbook.
"Homesickness" is one of the most common themes in Li Bai's poems. When he looked up and saw the moon, he immediately "sank back, and I suddenly remembered home"; When you hear the music of "folding willows", you will immediately feel homesick. So, why is Li Bai always homesick? Is it "worrying about writing new poems"? Absolutely not. The reason why Li Bai's poems can reach the peak of art is that the emotions he expresses are sincere and moving, and there is no hypocrisy.
The prominent theme of "homesickness" in Li Bai's poems comes from his long travel career. Li Bai began to travel away from home at the age of 15, and has been wandering abroad since then. He traveled more than half of China at a young age. When the young man left home, the boss didn't come back. "Hometown" has always been his lingering complex. He swam from his hometown of Sichuan, then passed Dongting and Lushan, entered Jinling (now Nanjing) and Yangzhou, then went to Shandong, and finally arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. In Luoyang, he wrote this thrilling poem called "Listening to the Flute in Los Angeles on a Spring Night".
So why is Li Bai so keen on traveling around the world? The ancients valued "reading thousands of books and traveling on Wan Li Road". At that time, talented people liked to travel and read books. Li Bai also traveled around, making friends and meeting celebrities, hoping to be introduced to high positions in one fell swoop. However, Li Bai traveled all over China, but accomplished nothing. This inevitably makes him miss his hometown more. So, when he heard the flute at night in Luoyang, he couldn't help thinking of his hometown.
This is a four-line poem with four lines: "whose jade emperor flies in the dark and the spring breeze fills the fir?" . In this serenade, I heard the sound of willows, and no one could bear the nostalgia. "
These four poems can be understood as two parts: scenery description and lyricism. "Whose flute flies in the dark and scatters into the spring breeze" is mainly about scenery. On a moonless night in spring, in the unaccompanied Luoyang city, the poet heard the melodious flute from the city people, and this wonderful music spread all over Luoyang city with the spring breeze. The picture painted by the poet seems illusory. I don't know whose house it is, and I can't see the "dark flying sound". The moonless night is dark, and the flute floating in the dark is invisible to our naked eyes, but a musician who lives at home and is laid back clearly flashes before our eyes. People who play at home make people who live in other places homesick, and naturally they have the following two lyric names. On this quiet night, I suddenly heard a moving willow branch song. Who can't help but miss my hometown?
"Folding willow" is an image often used in ancient poetry. When the ancients left, there was a custom of giving willow branches to each other. When a wanderer leaves his hometown and embarks on a journey, people often give him a willow branch to express the meaning of retaining and giving up. The word "Liu" is homophonic with the word "Liu". Therefore, when saying goodbye, "folding willows to send" means "staying". Therefore, the image of "folding willow" has the meaning of parting with the future. The "folding willow" in Li Bai's poems refers to the ancient song "folding willow", which mostly expresses the feelings of parting. The prodigal son in a foreign land has always missed his hometown, not to mention hearing this sad parting tune in the lonely night, which naturally adds nostalgia.
"Who can't stand the homesickness?" It is a famous sentence written by Li Bai, and these two poems are often used by later generations to describe the feelings of missing hometown.
