Poetic eye: shake, drop
The two verbs "shake" and "drop" are particularly magical. The city will not "shake", but the "cool breeze" will shake the water and shadows, giving you the illusion that the city will also shake. The moon will not "drop" dewdrops, but "go up to the tall building alone" and concentrate. Looking up at the autumn moon, it is as bright and clear as water, as if dewdrops are dripping from the moon. "Drip" and "shake" make the entire static picture fly, making the ordinary scenery of clouds, water, city, dew, and moon appear in all their moods, full of strangeness and interest, making people think about it and be fascinated by it. . This kind of description not only reflects the peculiar imagination of the Romantic poet, but also fully demonstrates his keen feeling and meticulous observation of nature. Therefore, he can capture the main characteristics of the objective scenery, and "the whole realm can be seen with just one word" .
“The interpretation of ‘Chengjiang is as pure as practicing’ makes people remember Xie Xuanhui for a long time.” Xie Xuanhui, also known as Xie Tiao, was a famous poet in the Southern Qi Dynasty. He once served as a local official and a capital official. He was later framed and imprisoned to death. Li Bai admired Xie Tiao very much throughout his life. This was because Xie Tiao's poetic style was fresh and elegant. His aloofness, arrogant character and unfortunate experiences were similar to Li Bai's. In Li Bai's words, it is called "the modern and the ancient are connected" (see " Xie Gongting"). When Xie Tiao was expelled from the capital and left Jinling, he wrote the famous poem "Climb three mountains at night and look back at the capital", describing the magnificent scenery of Jinling and expressing his nostalgia for his country. "The clear river is as pure as practice" is a sentence in this poem. He compared the clear river water to white silk. Li Bai climbed the west tower of the city at night and Xie Tiao climbed the three mountains at night. He was in the same unfortunate situation and was in the same depressed mood (Li Bai wrote this poem after he was slandered by powerful traitors and was squeezed out of Chang'an). It is natural to think of Xie Tiao that year. The river scene in the pen reminded Xie Tiao of his mood when he wrote this poem, and he gave a knowing admiration: "The interpretation of 'Chengjiang is as pure as practice' makes people remember Xie Xuanhui for a long time." It means: Xie Tiao can chant "Chengjiang is as pure as practice" "Such a good poem makes me miss him deeply. There is "word" in these two sentences, and the "subtext" is: I am "connected" with Xie Tiao's spirit, and I can understand his poems. Today when I write this poem, I feel the same as Xie Tiao did back then. Who can How can "explaining the truth" and "long memory" be achieved? It can be seen that Li Bai's "long memory" of Xie Tiao was lamenting that he was in a dark world, lacked close friends, and was unbearably lonely. This is exactly the meaning of this poem, which is pointed out implicitly at the knot, echoing the "alone" at the beginning, making people feel how lonely and sad the poet who "melods under the moon" is.
