Early in the morning, I bid farewell to Jiangling city, which is high into the sky, thousands of miles away, and the boat is only one day away.
The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are still unconsciously crowing in their ears, and the canoe has passed the heavy green hills.
[Note] (1) Xiajiangling: The poem "Make Baidi City Early". (2) Bai Di: Bai Di City, built by Gongsun Shu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, is located on the Bai Di Mountain in fengjie county, Sichuan. Its city has a high terrain and is often surrounded by clouds. (3) Jiangling: As the old saying goes, Baidicheng is 1,200 miles away from Jiangling. When I say "a thousand miles" here, I mean to list some of them. Jiangling, now jiangling county, Hubei Province. These two words mean that the river is fast and the boat is fast. The text of "Notes on Water Classics and Rivers": "Since the Three Gorges is 700 miles long, there is no shortage of places on both sides of the Three Gorges ... Sometimes I go to Baidicheng and Jiangling at dusk, during which I travel thousands of miles, although I take the wind, I am not ill. .. whenever the first frost on a sunny day, the forest is cold and sad, and there are often high apes whistling to attract their sorrow. " (4) Can't stop crying: refers to the ape whistling constantly. (5) canoe: a light boat. Chung Shan Man: It refers to the continuous mountains on both sides of the Three Gorges.
In the Three Gorges, he wrote a poem called "Building Baidicheng Early". At this time, the poet has experienced the ups and downs of his life. In this "once the sea was difficult for water, it was always amber" in the Wu gorge, Li Bai felt that the Three Gorges River in his twilight years was just as happy as he was when he was pardoned and released.
Mount Emei Yuege
li po
Emei Mountain is half moon and autumn,
Shadow into the Pingqiang River.
At night, Qingxi flows to the Three Gorges.
Yuzhou can't see you.
This poem was written by Li Baichu when he was not in Shu, with clear artistic conception, simple language and smooth rhyme.
The poem comes from "Emei Mountain Month", which shows that the season of going far away is in autumn. The word "autumn" is the end of the rhyme inversion sentence. Using the word "autumn" to describe the beauty of moonlight conforms to the natural law of crisp autumn and bright moonlight. The moon is only "half a circle", which makes people enter the beautiful artistic conception of spitting on the moon in the green hills. Pingqiang River is in the northeast of Emei Mountain, which is now Qingyi River. Originated in Lushan County, Sichuan Province, it flows to Leshan County and enters Minjiang River. The second sentence "shadow" refers to the shadow of the moon, and the two verbs "into" and "flow" form a linked predicate, indicating that the shadow of the moon is reflected into the river and goes with it. In real life, we can find that, generally speaking, no matter how the river flows, the "moon in the water" will not flow away with it. There is only one situation when the moon follows the water, that is, the old man who looks at the moon also follows the water. Therefore, this sentence not only describes the beautiful scenery of Qingjiang River reflected by the moon, but also implies the matter of sailing in autumn night. Artistic conception can be described as ethereal and wonderful.
The third sentence, the man appeared. He is leaving the Qingxi post overnight, entering the Minjiang River and heading for the Three Gorges. Young people who "go to the countryside with swords and shadows and leave their loved ones to travel far away" will be reluctant to leave their hometown. Seeing the moon on the river is like seeing an old friend. However, the bright moon is not an old friend after all. I can only "look up at the bright moon and send my feelings for thousands of miles." The last sentence, "I miss you, but I can't see Yuzhou", can be described as infinite separation.
Emei Mountain-Pingqiang River-Qingxi River-Yuzhou-Three Gorges, so poetry gradually unfolded a map of the Shu River for readers. There is no more specific description of the scenery except "Emei Mountain Moon" in the poem; Except for the word "four kings", there is no lyric. The clear artistic image of "Emei Mountain Moon" runs through the whole realm of poetry and becomes the inducer of poetry. The moral it causes is quite rich; The mountains and the moon accompany Wan Li, which can be seen every night, making the feeling of "missing you" deeper. The bright moon is amiable and out of reach, just out of reach, just like thinking of a friend. Where there is a bright moon singing, where there is a feeling of missing friends in the river, which is intoxicating.
Generally speaking, short quatrains are quite limited in expressing the changes of time and space, so they are generally written in a way that does not transcend time and space at the same time. The time and space span expressed in this poem has reached a free position. Five of the twenty-eight place names account for twelve words, which is unique among the ten thousand quatrains in the Tang Dynasty. It means "four words in the place name are five, and the ancient and modern eyes are the last words, and they never tire of repeating them" (in Wang Linzhou's language). The reason is that the realm of poetry is permeated with the poet's experience of swimming in the river and his yearning for his friends. The symbolic artistic images of mountains and moons are everywhere, unifying a vast space and a long time. In addition, the treatment of place names is also full of changes. "Emei Mountain Month" and "Pingqiang River" restrict the scenery with place names, which is useless; "Faqingxi", "Xiangsanxia" and "Xiayuzhou" are all practical, but they have different positions in the sentence. I can't feel the trace when I read it. It's wonderful in chemical engineering.
