First, "Gulangyu" Tang Libai
When I was young, I didn't know the bright moon in the sky, so I called it Bai Yupan.
I suspect it is Yao's platform, flying in the sky.
Is the fairy in the moon hanging her feet?
Why do laurel trees become round in January?
Appreciation: This poem depicts the poet's first impression of the moon when he was a child. The poet compared the moon to a white jade plate and a mirror on the Yao stage, expressing his admiration and curiosity about the moon. When the moon flew to the end of Qingyun Mountain, the poet described the mystery and elegance of the moon with rich imagination.
Later, the poet linked the moon with the mythical immortals, osmanthus trees and white rabbits, and constructed a mysterious moonlit scene. Finally, the poet said, "Who will accompany you to dinner?" The question adds a lonely and beautiful artistic conception to the moon.
Second, "Silent Night Thinking" Tang Li Bai
The foot of my bed is shining so brightly. Is there frost already?
I looked up at the moon and looked down, feeling nostalgic.
Appreciation: This poem depicts the poet's longing for his hometown in a foreign land at night in a concise and lively language. The bright moonlight in front of the bed made the poet mistake it for frost on the ground. This metaphor not only shows the coldness of moonlight, but also highlights the poet's homesickness. Looking up, I found that it was moonlight and sank back, and I suddenly remembered home. These two sentences were concise and powerful, and expressed the poet's homesickness incisively and vividly.
Third, "Moonlight Remembering Brothers" Tang Du Fu
The dew turns to frost tonight, and the moonlight at home is bright!
Brothers are scattered, and no one can ask about life and death.
Appreciation: This poem describes the poet's deep yearning for his brother in a simple way. Among them, He's poem knows that the dew will frost tonight, and the moonlight at home will be bright! Through the description of dew and the moon, a sad atmosphere is created, which highlights the poet's inner loneliness and anxiety. Oh, my brothers, lost and scattered, what is my life without you? These two poems express that the poet and his younger brothers are far apart and cannot know each other's life and death, which further deepens the poet's anxiety and yearning.
Fourth, "Jiande Night Sleeping" Tang Meng Haoran
Stop the boat in a foggy small state, when new worries come to the guest's heart.
The vastness of the wilderness is deeper than trees, and the moon is very close to the moon.
Appreciation: This poem describes the poet's feeling of staying overnight on Jiande River in simple language. The first sentence, when my boat is moving forward in the fog, depicts the poet's boat moored next to a smoky continent, setting a lonely tone for the whole poem. As the days get shorter, the old memories begin to show the poet's new sadness caused by the sunset. How vast the world is, how close the trees are to heaven and how close the moon is to the water! These two poems describe the beautiful scenery of Jiande River last night, which temporarily made the poet forget his sorrow. The whole poem expresses the poet's deep homesickness by painting scenes with scenes and feelings.
