On the ninth day of the ninth month, I looked at the countryside, and I saw the guest in his seat and in his countryside.
The human condition is already tired of the pain in the south, and the geese are coming from the north.

Appreciation
This poem was written at the time when Wang Bo traveled south to Ba Shu. The poem utilizes everyday colloquialisms, such as "he sat in his hometown" and "that from", to make it seem shallow and friendly. The third line on the technique of human feelings have been tired of the South in the bitter straight expression of the pain in the chest, alone in the South miss their loved ones, but can not return to the north, while the fourth line is the use of rhetorical questions wild geese that come from the north, and the previous line to form a strong contrast, the use of irrational and wonderful writing techniques, although it seems to be irrational to ask, but the poet's feelings of longing for their relatives seem particularly genuine and moving. The former in the evaluation of this poem, said: human feelings have been tired of the bitter south, the geese that come from the north, read, at first seemingly common language, and for a long time and know their own wonderful. These two lines are indeed very wonderful. Because the wrong poem expresses the feelings of homesickness during the festive season, nine days climbed high, looking at his hometown, the guest in the guest, sadness doubled, suddenly saw a pair of geese flying from the north, can not help but ask: I want to return to the north can not be, why do you still have to come south. Forming a strong contrast, the sadness of homesickness pushed to the peak. Although the question is unreasonable, but baked feelings of sincerity, give a person a strong infection.
Nine days
Li Bai Nine days
Today's cloud view is good, the water is green and the autumn mountains are bright.
I'm going to take the kettle with me, and pull down the chrysanthemums, and then I'll be in the cold glory.
The ground is far away from the ancient pines and stones, and the wind is clear of the strings and pipes.
The goblet of wine is a great way to light up your face, and you'll be laughing and pouring yourself out.
The first time I saw this, I was so happy to see you, and I was so happy to see you again.

Appreciation
This poem was written by Li Bai on the 9th day of the 9th month of the first year of Emperor Suzong Zhide's reign in Tang Dynasty (756) when he climbed Mount Lu and drank wine. In this traditional festival of drinking chrysanthemum wine, the poet entertained himself and remembered his repeated political setbacks, and wrote this poem to lament his lack of talent, but also expressed his love of nature and open-mindedness.
The first two lines are written in the autumn sky, and the beginning of the poem is written in a pleasing autumn scenery. Autumn sky, vast and far away, a blue, clear sky, white clouds floating in the blue sky, they are sometimes separate, sometimes connected to a piece, sometimes like a ball of cotton, sometimes like a roll of the waves, variable, a thousand forms; the earth in the fall, bright and refreshing. Only see the layers of mountain peaks and cypresses in the sky, the waves of the river flow, water and mountain colors reflect each other, constituting a beautiful picture. Three or four lines write drink chrysanthemum wine, in this high and refreshing autumn, and coincided with the festival of the Chung Yeung Festival, the poet with a pot to climb the mountain, drink, and drink while enjoying chrysanthemum. Pan Hanrong, on the one hand, the performance of the chrysanthemum posture, on the other hand, there is the poet's sadness of unmet talent.
The four lines of the distant pine stone ancient, vividly portrayed the poet's sights and feelings when enjoying the fall. In the high forests deep in the mountains, pines and cypresses, jagged rocks, gusts of breeze blowing, ringing the pine waves clear elegant rhyme, such as the strings and tubes sing together to play a pleasant musical sound. The beauty of the festival intoxicated the poet, could not help but raise the cup to shine happy face, the cup reflects its own smile. Also leaning three words show the poet leisurely self-pleasure, interest in the demeanor. Falling hat drunk mountain moon, empty song waiyou sheng, the end of the sentence from the scene to lyricism. Poet drinking alone to enjoy the autumn, although the scenery in front of the beautiful, but the loneliness of the solitude can not be solved, and therefore drunk, so that the hat, wild song full of nostalgia for the feelings of the deceased.
The poet climbed to the heights of Chung Yeung alone, and through the description of what he saw and felt, he expressed his own political frustration for many years, and the feeling of not being able to meet the talent, and finally sang a song and drank alone, and expressed his love for the nature of the open mind.
Du Fu Nine Days
Nine Days
Author: Du Fu
Original text:
The sun is heavy in the cup,
I climbed up to the platform on the river with my illness.
The bamboo leaves have no part to play,
The chrysanthemums need not bloom from now on.
The monkey cries at sunset in a special place,
and the white goose comes in front of the frost in the old country.
The first time I saw this, it was a very long time ago, and it was a very long time ago that I saw it!
Appreciation:
This poem was written by Du Fu on the 9th day of the 9th lunar month in the second year of the Daliye reign (767). The poet contacted the reality of two years' residence in Kui Zhou, and expressed his feelings of climbing the heights on the ninth day of the ninth month, and the ideological and artistic attainments are far higher than those of the general climbing heights.
The first line shows the poet's strong interest in life. The poet in the guest, the arrival of the sun, a moment of excitement, holding sick on the stage, drinking alone, to appreciate the color of the nine autumns. The poet is a good drinker, love of life, will be in the poem line live.
The enjambment of the poem turned. The nine days of drinking and chrysanthemum appreciation, this is the ancient tradition of the high priest, but the poet is sick to quit drinking, although sick on stage, but no points to drink, so also have no heart to appreciate the chrysanthemum. So the poet gave orders to the chrysanthemums: the chrysanthemums should not be opened from now on! This is a strong subjective mood of the verse, interesting, as if some of the capricious, just to prove that the poet both like to drink, and love to enjoy chrysanthemums. The poet's capriciousness is obviously a result of his difficult and hard life encounters. This line, Du Fu skillfully use borrowed pair (also known as Shen Deqian so-called true-false pair), borrowed bamboo leaves and chrysanthemums relative to the word of the bamboo leaves of the wine, Xiao Shan is not embarrassed for the rope and ink ("Poet Jade Scraps"), is known as the creation of the Duluo frame. Although the chrysanthemum is the actual scene, the bamboo leaves are not real, but because of the literal neat and apt, especially fresh and chic, the whole line has become a famous sentence recited throughout the ages.
The neck line further writes the poet's attention to the reverie, because the scene hurt feelings, pulling the thousands of sadness. The poet was alone in a foreign land, and at sunset, he heard a cry of the black apes, and could not help but tear down his clothes. Frosty autumn evening, white geese coming south, more likely to trigger the poet's feelings of homesickness. The contrast between his hometown and his native land naturally reveals the poet's inner secret: he stopped drinking and stopped enjoying the flowers, not only because of his illness, but also because of his nostalgia!
The last couplet ends with the festive thinking of relatives, remote pity for the younger siblings, and sends the feeling of drifting and falling. The first sentence by the geese to remember the siblings of the letter is lost; the next sentence to lament their own war, aging and sick. The poet cursed the dry as if the fate of the successive occurrence, while regretting that the years keep urging people to death, the cause of the tragedy of life's root cause - dry, vent more dissatisfaction. This is the direct expression of the poet's thoughts and feelings of sadness.
The poem by the disease to quit drinking, the flower sent emotion, black apes cry, white geese to the south, leading to the hometown, remembering the siblings of the feelings, and then expressed by the war, the aging of the sadness of the people. The ending sublimates the theme of the poem: the poet ascends to the heights, not only thinking of his relatives, but also hurting the time, as the saying goes, "Duling's lines are all about worrying about the country". This poem is full of pairs, the language flows naturally, strong and powerful, both momentum, but also see the temperament. It is very much like writing prose as it speaks of poetic meter without any trace; it is not boring as it combines images with direct arguments. The writing of scenery and narrative can be closely related to the poet's worries. The pen end of the accumulation of feelings, the protagonist of the call, quite can show Du Fu Kui Zhou period of seven poems of the sad style. He is a man who has no cup of wine, and he is the pastor of this state.
The first thing I did was to invite the man in white to drink the yellow chrysanthemums with a smile.
The first time I came here, I was not happy, but I was overdue for the sunrise.
The title of the carriage is He Junfa, and he has made it to the southern part of the city. The first time I saw the movie was when I was a kid, and the second time I saw the movie was when I was a teenager.
The Hurman called for the jade flute, and the Vietnamese girl played the frost silk. The king's son, the king's son, was not to be seen.
The red carp surged to the Qin, and the white tortoise was on the road to Feng Yi. The first time I saw this was when I was a young man, and the second time I saw it was when I was a young man.
The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a journey to a high place. The first time I saw this is when I was a kid, and it was a very good thing I was a kid.
The mountains look like shock waves, and the sea is dark. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
The song is sent to the sky, and the dance is chaotic. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
After the parting, I would like to say that I will miss you for a long time.
Translation and commentary
Tao Yuanming wrote "Return to the World" to show that he did not chase the world's high aspirations. Since there was no more wine to drink, he went to the state pastor to drink. So I imagined drinking wine with Tao Yuanming while viewing chrysanthemums. I am not in a good mood at this time, and I have failed the Chung Yeung Festival for nothing. What kind of handsome person can get such treatment from the title opinion! I thought I was not so lucky, so I thought I would simply live in seclusion in the south of the city. I'd build a small house on a hill with a view of Wanxi below. I could hear the sound of the flute and the zither all day long, how comfortable it was. I thought even the royal relatives could not have such enjoyment. Qin Gao leaps out of the water on a red carp, and the immortal tortoise guides the way for He Bo; this is a life like that of the immortals.

Appreciation
Tianbao twelve years (753) was written in Xuancheng on the day of the Chongyang. Qing dynasty Wang Qi Yun: play poetry, when it is with a clan for the Xuancheng Biejiao, on the ninth day of the newly constructed platform, the title should be missing text. Said seems to be. There is another "Xuancheng nine days heard Cui four ministers and Yuwen too guards tour Jingting Yu when boarding the ringing mountain different this appreciation drunken gift Cui ministers two", and this poem scenario connects. The whole poem reflects Li Bai's ambition is difficult to pay, lamenting the real thing, and still have great ideals, great ambitions of the grand goal.
