meng haoran
The south is a wilderness, because leaves are falling, and the wind from the north makes the water cold.
I remember my home; But the winding of Xiangjiang River and the distant separation of Chu Yun.
Tears of homesickness in the journey, see the back of the sail on the horizon.
Where is the ferry? Can someone tell me? (3) Pinghai (4) The evening is long.
To annotate ...
My sentence: Meng Haoran lives in Xiangyang, which is a song of water, so it is a cloud. Xiangshui: Also known as Xianghe, Hanshui River is in the lower section of Xiangfan City, and the water flow is tortuous, so the clouds are winding and comfortable.
② Remote sentence: refers to the homesickness separated from the clouds. Chu: Xiangyang belonged to the State of Chu in ancient times.
Maze sentence: In The Analects of Confucius, it is recorded that Confucius lived a long life and was stubborn, but he satirized things for them. Here, I sigh that I am wandering and frustrated, just like a maze. Tianjin: Ferry.
④ Flat sea: refers to the height and width of the water surface. In ancient times, this river was also called the sea.
Interpretation of poetry
Fallen leaves, geese flying south, the north wind whistling, and the river is cold. My family lives in a winding place, far from Chu Yun. Tears of missing my hometown have run out, and I look at a lonely boat on the horizon. Where is the confused ferry? At dusk, the river is surging, even kelp water is endless.
Comment and analysis
This is a lyric poem about homesickness. Began in prosperity, borrowed Hongyan to fly south, and made guests homesick. I saw the distant solitary sail in the middle, thought of my own disappointment, and finally wrote the stagnation I wanted to return to.
The whole poem has complicated emotions. The poet envies rural life and intends to retire, but he also wants to ask officials to do things in order to make a big difference. This contradiction constitutes the content of this poem.
words explanation
Garbage: Leaves fall.
Home: Live.

Labyrinth: The Lost Ferry
[Introduction to the author]
Meng Haoran: (689-740), a native of Xiangyang, lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain in his early years. He entered Chang 'an at the age of 48, leaving his younger brother behind. He returned home depressed and went to wuyue from Luoyang. Zhang Jiuling went out of a town in Jingzhou to engage in it. Later, he died of gangrene. He didn't want to retire, but he died in retirement. His poems mostly describe the quiet realm of mountains and rivers, but from time to time they reveal a kind of helplessness. Poetry was elegant and dignified, and was highly praised by the poetry circle at that time. Meng Haoran is as famous as Wang Wei in describing landscapes and pastoral areas, and is praised as "Wang Meng" by the world.
