On the Ancient Poem "Meet Li Guinian and Go Down the River"

"On Meeting with the Downstream" Original text: It is common to meet at Qi Wang's house, but Cui has heard it several times before. Never thought, in this Jiangnan scenic area; It is the season of falling flowers, and I can meet you, an old acquaintance.

This poem reflects the past and is full of emotion. The first two sentences recalled the past association with Li Guinian and conveyed the poet's concern about the prosperous times in the early years of Kaiyuan. The last two sentences are feelings about the decline of state affairs and the erratic artists. The whole poetic language is extremely simple and profound.

It contains a very rich content of social life, showing the decline and chaos of the times and the desolation and wandering of life. Jiangnan, with its beautiful scenery, was originally a paradise for poets in Chengping era. During this period, the poet really faced the withered season and the wandering artists with white hair.

works appreciation

The season of falling flowers is like an impromptu book, and it has ulterior motives, intentionally or unintentionally. These four words are metaphors of the declining world, social unrest, the decline of poets and diseases, but the poet does not deliberately use metaphors at all, which is particularly confusing.

Coupled with the ups and downs of the function words of "just right" and "you", there is infinite emotion between the lines. The beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is in a strong contrast with the chaotic life experience of being divorced from the times and sinking. An old singer and an old poet reunited in wandering, and the flowing scenery dotted with two haggard old people became a typical portrayal of the vicissitudes of the times.
