Make an appreciative comment
This is a poem about things. By praising the willow, the poet expressed his love for spring.
The first two sentences of the poem, "Jasper is dressed as a tree, and a tapestry of green silk hangs down", mainly describe the tall, slender and graceful willow tree.
The first sentence, "Jasper makes the tree tall", is about the whole willow tree, saying that the tall willow tree looks like it is decorated with jasper, and using "Jasper" to describe the crystal green of the willow tree highlights the color beauty of the willow tree. Like a girl, graceful and charming.
The second sentence, "A tapestry of thousands of strands of moss hangs down", is about willow branches. The poet compared the branches of weeping willows to thousands of beautiful ribbons hung by girls, and skillfully wrote the softness and grace of willow clothes.
In the third sentence, the poet skillfully wrote Liu Yeer in the form of questions. "I don't know who cut the thin leaves" highlights the delicate, meticulous and symmetrical beauty of willow leaves in form. At the same time, this sentence and the fourth sentence constitute a rhetorical relationship. "I wonder who cut the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors" is the poet's question and answer. This question and answer, together with a vivid metaphor, skillfully transforms this poem from describing willow trees to describing spring breeze. Spring breeze is a symbol of nature's strength and creativity. Since delicate and symmetrical green willow leaves can be cut out, light green and bright red flowers can naturally be cut out, and the whole flowery spring can be cut out, which provides readers with rich imagination space for imagining colorful spring in the south of the Yangtze River, such as "a thousand miles of birds singing green and reflecting red" and "willow swaying in the spring and getting drunk".
Generally speaking, the first two poems describe the overall image of willow and thousand branches respectively. The third sentence, while asking questions, intentionally or unintentionally wrote that even, delicate and green willow leaf. These three sentences describe different sides of willow respectively. Every sentence has content, and the pen has its own characteristics. In addition, the poet skillfully uses metaphors to praise the willow, praise the spring, eulogize the vitality of spring and the infinite creativity of nature.
