Peach Blossom Pond is as deep as that in Wang Lun, a few thousands of feet.

Li Bai wrote 100 poems about drinking, according to my unchanging habit all my life. According to Yuan Mei's Addendum to Poems in the Garden, Wang Lun, a complete stranger, wrote to Li Bai and invited him to visit Jingxian (now southern Anhui). The letter enthusiastically wrote: "How is your husband? There are miles of peach blossoms here. Is it delicious, sir? There are thousands of hotels here. " Li Bai left happily. See Wang Lun is a hero of Jingchuan, hospitable and charming. So I asked where the Taoyuan Restaurant was. Wang Lun said, "Peach blossom is also called pool water, but there is no peach blossom; Wanjia, the owner's surname is Ye Wan, there is no Wanjia Hotel. " Li Bai smiled and said, Leave for a few days and write down the poem as a farewell when you leave.
Obviously, this poem was blurted out by Li Bai, which naturally became wonderful, so it has been read by people all the time. However, because it is as natural as life, people often know what is wonderful, but not why. There are still some comments on three or four sentences of the poem by later poets, but the first two sentences are colloquial and straightforward. In fact, combined with the above background, the first two sentences are also extremely successful.
"Li Bai will go by boat" means that I will leave Taohuatan by boat. Spoken English simply flowed out without thinking, showing a natural and unrestrained manner of coming on impulse and returning after excitement.
The words "suddenly smell the song on the shore" and "suddenly smell" show that Wang Lun's arrival is really unexpected. I heard it before people arrived. From the warm and hearty singing, Li Bai expected that Wang Lun must have come to see me off.
This farewell shows that Li Bai and Wang Lun are both informal, happy and free people. In the secluded mountain village, there is no complicated etiquette sent by the upper class. Wang Lun didn't seem to be at home when Li Bai left. Wang Lun came back and learned that Li Bai had left. He immediately rushed to the ferry with wine to say goodbye. Li Bai, who left without saying goodbye, is free and easy and not polite; Wang Lun, who is singing farewell songs, is also generous and enthusiastic, and won't let the children touch the towel. In just fourteen words, they wrote down their optimistic personality and their informal friendship.
Perhaps it is because their thoughts and temperament are in harmony that Li Bai is cited as a homonym and Wang Lun's friendship is cherished. Affection, hence to the beauty of the peach blossom pool, affectionately to sing a way:
"Peach Blossom Lake is deep in thousands of feet, not as good as Wang Lun."
Combined with the situation here and now, these two poems seem to blurt out and have natural feelings. Poets often use the depth of water to compare the depth of people's feelings. For example, Wang Lun's friendship is really as deep as a pool of stagnant water, but it is generalized and smacks of poetry. The current writing is like two friends saying goodbye by the boat. One is "I advise you to have another glass of wine" and the other is "one glass after another". Li baijiu is full of passion and flying in the air. He raised his glass to the running water at his feet and said, "Peach Blossom Pond, not to mention how deep you are, is not as deep as Wang Lun's friendship!" There is a naive and natural interest in the prospect of spoken language and eyes, which vaguely shows the great poet's uninhibited personality. Therefore, Shen Deqian of A Qing Dynasty said, "The love of Wang Lun is a common language, if compared with the love of thousands of feet. The wonderful place is just in a transition. " (Tang Poetry)
When the ancients wrote poems, they generally avoided calling them by their names, thinking that they had no taste. However, this poem begins with calling one's own name and ends with calling the other's name. On the contrary, it is sincere, kind, free and easy, and very affectionate.
"Clear water produces hibiscus, and carving is natural." Later generations love to use Li Bai's words to evaluate Li Bai's poems, which is very learned. It is true that Li Bai's improvisation of poetry is effortless. He is passionate, outspoken, naive and unpretentious, but he has an unexpected beauty. "Seemingly ordinary and strange" is dazzling and unremarkable, and this kind of kung fu is extremely difficult to learn. The above poem "To Wang Lun" embodies Li Bai's natural and delicate poetic style.
The traditional proposition of China's poetry is implication. For example, Yan Yu, a poetic theorist in the Song Dynasty, put forward four taboos in writing poetry: "The language should be straight and the meaning should be shallow. Avoid dew in the pulse, and the taste is short. " Shi Buhua, a poet in A Qing, also said that poetry "should not be expensive". However, the expressive characteristics of Li Bai's above poem are: frankness, directness and few words. Its "straight language" and its "pulse dew" are not shallow, but its "meaning" is stronger. Its "straightness" contains feelings, and the true feelings flow from the depths of the soul, so it is very artistic. Thus, the literary phenomenon is complicated. There are also various artistic techniques that cannot be "static".
