Glass clock, amber thick, small groove wine drops are really pearl red.
Cooking dragons, setting off firecrackers and crying jade, Luo Wei embroidered curtains surround the fragrant wind.
Playing dragon flute and catfish drum; White tooth song, waist dance.
The situation is that youth will be dusk and peach blossoms will fall in red rain.
I advise you to get drunk all the time, and the wine won't reach Liu Ling's grave!
This poem uses a lot of space to set off the scenes of eating, drinking and having fun, and the author seems to spare no effort to move out gorgeous words and beautiful things. The first five sentences describe the grandeur of the banquet: the cup is a glass clock, the wine is amber thick and pearl red, the dishes in the kitchen are cooked with dragons and firecrackers, and the banquet hall is decorated with embroidered curtains. Its gorgeous images and magnificent colors are fascinating and hard to see. They belong to descriptive rhetoric ("glass clock" describes the preciousness of cups), exaggerated rhetoric ("cooking dragons and shooting phoenix" exaggerates the rarity of kitchen dishes) and figurative rhetoric ("amber thick" and "real pearl red" are metaphors of wine and color), which are very effective in rendering the atmosphere of joy and intoxication at banquets. The wonderful sound and smell of vegetable oil explosion are difficult to be poeticized, and they are also poeticized by gorgeous words such as "Jade Fat Cry" and "Fragrant Wind". The use of so many words makes people feel piled up and burdensome, only colorful and exciting. What is the secret? Because the poet is deeply attached to life, the sound, color, fragrance and taste in the poem all come from the "real yearning heart" (Lu Xun's language), so the words can be used by the author without complexity.
The following four or three words, written in the song and dance music at the banquet, are even more wonderful in terms of words and sentences. Playing the flute is playing the flute, and it is biased as "playing the dragon flute", which vividly shows that the flute is melodious like a dragon-music in the non-human world; Drumming is drumming, which is biased as "playing catfish drums". If the catfish skin is very thick, you can put it in the dark and write the word "catfish", and the drums will be loud and loud. Then, the singer and girl singing and composing "Song of White Teeth" may be inspired by the sentence "Who has white teeth" (Cao Zhi), but the effect is quite different. Cao Zhi's poem "White Teeth" is just "white teeth". This "white teeth" is the body double of beauty, which makes people see the beauty of singing from the beauty of form, or turn the beauty of hearing into the beauty of vision. Dancers write that "waist dance" and "waist dance" are the same generation of beautiful women, and they can also vividly express the curvy beauty of dance, killing two birds with one stone. "White teeth" and "thin waist" are related to the characteristics of song and dance, both of which have the function of image suggestion and can turn speeches into new words. In just twelve words, the beauty of music, singing and dancing is beautifully written.
"Cheer for me through the end of spring" (Li Bai). If the first sentence is "Eat, drink and be merry", the last two sentences are "It must be spring". The creation of ci is becoming more and more peculiar: "Peach blossoms fall in red rain", and the image language is "youth withers". Life does not give people much joy, so we should eat, drink and be merry in time. How active imagination and agile expression are needed to reach an association in these two completely different scenes of peach blossom falling and rain falling, in order to create a more novel and thrilling realm than any sentence of writing rain to send spring! Imagination and association are incredibly active, which is the biggest feature of Li He's thinking in images. There are countless examples about him, such as "Dark clouds crush the city and destroy it", "Pu Yin Liu Yun learns underwater sound" and "xi he knocks on the glass of the sun". This is really a kind of "time-consuming beauty, which is not enough for its color;" Ghosts are not empty "(Du Mu's Poems by Li Changji).
Because the poet quoted exquisite famous things, used gorgeous rhetoric and comprehensively used various rhetorical devices, poetry has the beauty of painting forms such as colors and lines.
