Creative background:
In his youth, Bai Juyi roamed the south of the Yangtze River and lived in Suzhou and Hangzhou. He had a considerable understanding of the south of the Yangtze River. He also served as the governor of Hangzhou and the governor of Suzhou. Therefore, Jiangnan played an important role in his life. It left a deep impression on my mind. He later settled in Luoyang and still recalled his old travels in the south of the Yangtze River, so he composed "Three Poems on Recalling the South of the Yangtze River".
There have been different opinions regarding the specific time of writing the lyrics. Some say it was after Bai Juyi left Suzhou; some say it was in the third year of Kaicheng (838); some say it was in the first year of Yamato (827); Wang Guowei said it was written in the "89th year of Yamato".
These statements are general and simple and lack factual basis. Liu Yuxi once wrote several poems in "Recalling Jiangnan", which were sung with Bai Juyi's poems. His preface said: "The lyrics for He Le Tian Chun are based on the beat of "Recalling Jiangnan"." Liu Yuxi's poems were written in the second year of Emperor Wenzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty (837). It was written in Luoyang in the early summer of 2010). From this, it can be inferred that the three poems written by Bai Juyi should also be written in the early summer of the second year of Kaicheng.
"Three Poems Recalling the South of the Yangtze River" is divided into the spring scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the autumn scenery of Hangzhou and the famous events in Suzhou. The three poems have the same theme, but each poem has its own beginning and end, and has a certain degree of independence; and each poem is connected with each other, and the context is connected, forming an organic whole, showing the author's superb artistic skills in planning the layout of the poem.
These three poems recall the past from the present and Suzhou and Hangzhou from Luoyang. The spans of present, past, south, north, time, and space are huge. The first two sentences of each song recall the present and the past, living in Luoyang and yearning for the south of the Yangtze River. The middle two sentences of each song recall the most unforgettable past events in Jiangnan with infinite affection. The conclusion returns to the present, hoping that one day those beautiful memories will become a living reality.
Therefore, the whole group of words contains only a few crosses, but it attracts readers to enter the character on many levels, imagine the various situations the protagonist has experienced in the past and present, and experience the various spiritual activities displayed by the protagonist in the past and present. In order to obtain endless aesthetic enjoyment.
