"See you in Gusu, people sleep by the river." The biggest feature of Suzhou is water. Since Wu Zixu built the city in Suzhou, the waterways in the city are criss-crossed, and the number of fishing boats and water life have always been the main life of local people. The couplets of the poem inherit the "people do their best to pillow the river" and point out such local characteristics. The five words "the ancient palace has little leisure" are the history of Suzhou written by Du Xunhe in a ramble. Suzhou was the capital of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. For a long time, Suzhou has changed from a political center to an economic center. In the Tang Dynasty, the national economic center of gravity began to move southward gradually. Although it is not as obvious as in the Song Dynasty, the direct influence is obvious, so there is a situation that "there is little idle land in ancient palaces".
"There are many small bridges in the water port" is a beautiful water town created by the poet with realistic sketching techniques. For the north where the national political and cultural center of gravity is located, a water city will always feel incredible if it is not seen with its own eyes. Therefore, a simple combination of images can create a dreamlike picture for people who have never been to a water town: winding rivers are more spiritual than neat and spacious official roads. Small bridges everywhere connect this shore and the other shore of life. The time spent squatting on the bridge and the waiting of people standing on the bridge overlooking the distance are not easily understood by men who are struggling and almost numb in the north under the north wind. The life built by small bridges and flowing water has heartbreaking exquisiteness and carelessness that people are easy to fall into. Such beauty can't be found anywhere else.
Life is fluid. All the goodness in life is revealed from the flow. "The night market sells ling lotus roots, and the spring boat carries them." Du Xunhe likes the combination of Night Market and Spring Boat very much. In another song "Send a friend to wuyue", "The night market bridge is on fire and the boat is outside the Spring Breeze Temple" is similar to this sentence. Such a prosperous and lively poem is very gratifying to read. In ancient China, only economically developed cities had night markets, and lotus root was the most distinctive local aquatic product. Satin is a symbol of rich life. Recite poems carefully, as if you can really see people who speak Suzhou dialect talking about their livelihood under the lights of the night market. Those dim lights in the distance twinkle in the dark, like warm stars. All life in the water town, like a paradise without any disturbance, melts in a little drunkenness.
"I haven't slept for a long time. Homesickness is a fishing song." This couplet is the poet's idea, and all the poems should be dedicated to the later scenes. It is here that the meaning of farewell is expressed, which shows that the layout of the poet's prose is unique, with a long aftertaste and food for thought.
This poem has rich imagination, fresh and lively style, and a sigh at the end, which is touching and reverie. The water town in the south of the Yangtze River described by the poet is vivid under his meticulous description, which makes people feel as if they are in a picture world.
