Yue revisits the ancient times is a nostalgic work by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty.
The original text is as follows:
Gou Jian, the king of Yue, broke Wu's return, and the righteous returned home.
Maid-in-waiting is like a flower in Man Chun Hall, but only partridges are flying today.
Vernacular translation:
After the destruction of Wu by Gou Jian, the King of Yue, he won a great victory, and all the 6,000 righteous men were crowned officials. At the beginning, the palace was full of ladies-in-waiting, but now only partridges are flying through the broken wall.

works appreciation
This is a nostalgic work. Poetry is not a historical novel, and quatrains are also different from long poems, so poets can only choose the part of this historical event that they feel most deeply to write. He chose not a fragment in the long process of this struggle, but two scenes after the defeat of Wu State and the return of the King of Yue.
The prosperous past written in the past poems and the cold words written behind them are all very strong. The stronger the front, the stronger it is. In order to fully express the theme, the poet also made seven different arrangements. Generally speaking, the turning point is arranged in the third sentence, and the first three sentences disappear until the fourth sentence suddenly turns to the other side. It's powerful and looks. This kind of writing is not a poetic poet, so it is difficult to write freely.
Li Bai also wrote an ancient poem "Tai Su Lu Gu". These two poems are both ancient works, with the same theme and similar themes, but the most important one, paying attention to the prosperity of the past, tries to render and write today's desolation in three quarters of the space. Desolate, bear the thought. Tai Su first rewrote today's desolation, hinted at the prosperity of the past, set off the erratic talents with today's new natural scenery, and saw the ups and downs of the past and the present, so their means of expression were different. We can also see the poet's rich artistic skills from here.
