Make an appreciative comment
Wang Wei's Miscellaneous Poems has always been regarded as a melancholy poem, which is thought to be melancholy because of homesickness. Indeed, if you read this poem with sadness, you will have a strong nostalgia.
This poem makes us almost hear the poet's heart beating violently. Understand the inner complexity and contradiction of the poet. Therefore, although poetry has a pleasant explicit structure, there is a more conflicting, complex and deeper structure hidden below. It's just how deep this deep structure is, left in an endless blank, and built by high-level readers themselves.
This is an extraordinary image of a wanderer. Despite the vicissitudes of life, there is still a spirit of transcending the secular and maintaining a free mind. So why did the poet write this poem? What he sings is a lifestyle that is never sophisticated and always keeps a free mind, although it has experienced vicissitudes.
