The Book of Songs takes the "lonely city" as the center and the vast and magnificent background as the background.
Some people think that the first sentence "Yellow River goes straight up" is very confusing, and it is easy to change "Yellow River" into "yellow sand". However, "the yellow sand is straight up", and the sky is dark. Can you see "white clouds"? In fact, "the Yellow River goes straight up" is not difficult to understand.
Both Li Bai and Wang Zhihuan wrote about the scenery looking west along the Yellow River. The difference is that Li Bai's vision is far and near, so he created a strange sentence "How does the water of the Yellow River move out of the sky?" Wang Zhihuan's eyes are near and far, so he shows the wonder of "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds".
Looking west, the Yellow River goes from east to west and goes straight into the white clouds. This is a vertical description. "Wan Ren Mountain" rises at the junction of water and sky, and the mountain is connected with the sky, which is a vertical description. Just where the water meets the sky and the mountains meet the sky, "an isolated city" is faintly visible. This is a unique picture shown in this poem.
The first two sentences focus on scenery writing, while the last two sentences focus on lyricism. However, the feelings of the last two sentences have been bred in the scenes of the first two sentences. A lonely city has a sense of desolation. The vastness of the background reflects its sadness; The grandeur of the background highlights its desolation.
The feelings of people in the "lonely city" are even more so. This "isolated city" is obviously not a residential area, but a garrison. Recruiters who live here come here to defend the frontiers along the Yellow River in Wan Li. Living in a "lonely city" for a long time, will you feel homesick? This leads to three or four sentences.
Qiangdi's play is nothing more than Zheyang Liuqu, which "worries about killing travelers", and his homesickness is clearly visible. The beauty is that you don't say homesickness, but you say "complaining about willow." What are you complaining about? Judging from the sentence, it is because the willow has not turned blue.
Li Bai's "Xia Sai Qu" "Five In the snow in Tianshan Mountain, without flowers and cold. Smell the willow in the flute, but never look at the spring scenery, which is helpful to deepen the understanding of the word "resentment" Poetic and graceful: when I heard the song of breaking willow leaves, I naturally remembered the scene of breaking willow leaves when my relatives left home, which reminded me of my homesickness; From my family's memories of folding willows to the present reality, I feel that the willows in my hometown have been brushed. I still see a little spring scenery in "No Wind" in Lonely City, and I am still homesick. The poem is so euphemistic and profound, but the poet's meaning is still unfinished. He starts with "unnecessary" and builds momentum for the conclusion, and then ends with an explanation of the reasons for "unnecessary", which means that since the spring breeze outside Yumenguan can't blow, the willow outside the customs will naturally not spit leaves. What's the use of just "complaining"?
Huang Sheng's Excerpts from Tang Poems says, "Wang Longbiao's" Playing the Qiang flute is more worrying for Wan Li "and Li Junyu's" Playing the reed flute somewhere makes people look at their hometown overnight "are all the same, but not as good as this one. Because of its implication, he only used the word' why'. The artistic charm of this poem lies in its magnificent scenery and profound lyricism.
Implicit and profound poetry can be understood in many ways. Yang Shen's Poem of Sheng 'an, Volume II: "This poem is not as generous as the frontier fortress, and the so-called military gate is far from Wan Li." Li Zhi's A Brief Record of Poetry Changes further points out: "It is particularly appropriate to say that you are not as good as your manners, but that the spring breeze is not enough."
Judging from the story of "painting a wall and hanging a flag pavilion" in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio by Xue Yongwei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, this poem spread all over the world and was hailed as a swan song soon after its release.
