Xianyang chengdong tower
Xu Hun [Tang Dynasty]
Climb high and miss the ancient oil for thousands of miles, but the willows in your eyes are like Jiangnan.
The red sunset is in the temple outside the temple, and the wind has not yet come, and the wind has already blown the buildings in Xianyang.
At dusk, birds fly in the garden, and in late autumn, cicadas chirp in the leafy trees.
Passers-by don't ask about the past, only the Weihe River flows eastward as always.
Translation:
When you climb a tall building, Wan Li's homesickness arises spontaneously, and reeds and willows look like Tingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.
Dark clouds have just drifted to the stream and the sunset has fallen behind the pavilion. The rain is coming, and the wind rustles the whole building.
The imperial palace in Qin and Han dynasties was desolate. Birds landed on the grass, and Qiu Chan sang in the yellow leaves.
Passers-by don't ask about the past, only Weishui flows eastward as always.
Appreciation of famous sentences:
"The clouds began to sink, and rain was coming." "Xi" in the middle refers to Panxi, and "Ge" refers to Blessing Temple. The poet has his own note: "Panxi in the south and Cifu Temple Pavilion in the west." In the evening, when the poet boarded the tower, he saw the Panxi River shrouded in clouds and dusk, and the red color was getting lighter and lighter. The sunset overlapped with the shadow of the Cifu Temple Pavilion, as if falling near the temple pavilion. On the occasion of the beautiful scenery at the beginning of this sunset, the cool breeze suddenly rises, and the West Building of Xianyang is suddenly bathed in the piercing wind, and a Shan Yu is on the way.
This is a copy of the natural scenery and a vivid outline of the decline of the Tang Dynasty, vividly revealing the real reason for the poet's "Wan Li's sorrow". Yun Qi is sinking, full of wind and rain, and the movement is clear; "The wind is the head of the rain" has a profound meaning. This couplet is often used to describe the tense atmosphere before major events, and it is a famous sentence sung through the ages.
