The poetic imagery has the characteristics of the natural features of the Bashu region. The imagery involved in "The wind is rushing, the sky is high, the ape is screaming in mourning". There are "wind", "sky" and "ape". Each image has its own unique meaning and expressive function. Among them, "wind" is urgent, which shows how powerful the wind is; the sky is high and vast;
Apes are often seen in the mountains and emit bursts of whining, which shows the uniqueness of the Bashu region. This has a lot to do with the fact that Du Fu lived in Bashu for a long time and was influenced by the local culture. The beautiful mountains and rivers and magical natural scenery of Bashu provided material for the poet's creation.

A holistic interpretation of imagery from the perspective of Gestalt theory. Gestalt theory's interpretation of poetry actually emphasizes the integrity of poetry interpretation.
The imagery of this poem is mainly concentrated in the scenery-describing verses in the first two couplets. Judging from the text, it depicts the scene that Du Fu saw when he ascended the mountain. Translated into vernacular, it means: The wind is strong, the sky is high, the apes are crying, looking very sad, and there are birds on the clear sandy river island of Zhu. hover.
The endless trees are slowly dropping their fallen leaves, and the endless Yangtze River is rolling in. Interpreting this poem in this way, the poem has nothing special in its imagery. It is just a simple description of the object and its characteristics, and it still stays at the surface meaning of the interpretation of the imagery. I believe that images (that is, external things) should be unified with the poet's inner emotions. We should not simply stay at the meaning conveyed literally, but should look for deep connections.
The word "sadness" is mentioned in the neck couplet "Wanli is a sad autumn guest". The keynote of the whole poem is actually "sadness", and the images in the poem are always constructed around "sadness", so Image analysis must start from the overall perspective. Looking at the first two couplets from this point of view, the "wind" described by the poet is fierce, giving people a sense of desolation; the "sky" is high and vast, making people feel insignificant; the apes are wailing in the mountains, which brings out the autumn. The desolation.
It can be seen that the characteristics of imagery are closely related to the expression of the poet's emotions. In the sentence "The white bird flies back from the clear sand of Nagisa", we often understand it as describing the small island in the water, the clear water and the white sand, but this understanding does not seem to be so closely related to "Sad Autumn" . I think it is more accurate to understand "Nagisa Clear" as "the coldness of the small island in the water" than to understand it as "the clearness of the small island".
The boundless falling trees are rustling, and the endless Yangtze River is rolling in." The textbook notes explain "falling trees" as leaves falling in autumn. Why not just use "falling leaves"? So the two words are introduced into the poem respectively. In the poem, if you realize it over and over again, you will find that "fallen wood" and "fallen leaves" have exactly the same meaning, but when read separately in the poem, the sense of language of the two sentences is different, that is, in terms of phonology, "fallen wood" is better than "fallen leaves" "There is a sense of heaviness and pressure, and "falling wood" is more in line with the atmosphere of "sad autumn" and the poet's gloomy mood at that time.
