The Time, Place and Emotional Clues of Moonlight by the River.

Moonlit Night on the Spring River is the first article in the second unit of the elective textbook Appreciation of China Ancient Poetry. This unit focuses on understanding the unique artistic aesthetics of China's classical poems through grasping the images and exerting the imagination. As the first poem, Moonlit Night on a Spring River best embodies the characteristics of poetic artistic conception. Through the description and rich imagination of the beautiful moonlight on the riverside, the poet leads the readers into a poetic realm with rich feelings and guides them to feel the feelings of wandering, thinking of women and homesickness. The perfect combination of scenery, emotion and reason in the whole poem not only depicts a beautiful picture of a moonlit night, but also shows a unique cosmic consciousness, a deeper, broader and more peaceful realm with profound feelings. It describes the four states of the moon, namely, the newborn moon (the bright moon on the sea is born in the tide)-the solitary moon hanging high (the solitary moon wheel in the sky)-the moon slanting westward (the moon falls in the pond and then tilts westward)-the moon falls (the moon shakes the trees all over the river), which is a time clue. The whole poem focuses on the time clue of the moon's change, and describes the beautiful scenery under the moon, the author's philosophical thinking, thinking about women and caring for people, wandering to sleep, and the feelings after waking up. Poetry gradually fades from high to low, and finally it is lonely after waking up. The ending is long and unforgettable.
