Gao Shi, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, described Lanzhou in this way: the north building looks at the western sky, and the water is better than the painting in the mountains.
The Lanzhou described by Wang Wei, a poet at the end of Yuan Dynasty, is: Tao Yunlong has good grass, and the road to Lanzhou is extremely long. Who believes that since the beginning of the westward journey, the sky has sunk. Gansu is a poetic place, with both the lofty sentiments of Wan Li and the tenderness of thousands of feet.
Appreciation of Gansu placename poems;
In the poems of ancient and modern celebrities, Yumenguan and Yangguan are the most frequent place names in Gansu. For example, the bright moon in the sky is held up in the boundless sea of clouds, and the wind from thousands of miles is flapping on the battlements of Yumenguan. This is the Yumen Pass in Li Bai's mind and the Yumen Pass in Wang Zhihuan's works. The Yellow River is out of reach among the white clouds. It is an isolated city in Wan Ren Mountain. Why does Qiangdi blame willow and spring breeze?
The spring breeze seems to have lingered in Yumenguan for thousands of years under the pen of two poets, and Yangguan, not far from Yumenguan, is also an important pass in the Tang Dynasty. The poet Wang Wei described it this way. The mood of going out of Yangguan in the west, the light rain in Weicheng, the green willow color in the guest house. I advise you to drink one more glass of wine and go out of Yangguan for no reason.
