How beautiful the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is. I have been familiar with it for a long time. Spring is coming, the sun rises from the river, making the flowers on the river brighter than red, and the green river greener than blue grass. How can one not miss Jiangnan?

The memory of Jiangnan can best evoke the memory of Hangzhou: you visited Tianzhu Temple in Mid-Autumn Festival to find laurel trees, boarded the county pavilion, rested on it and enjoyed the tide of Qiantang River. When can I go to play again?

Memories of Jiangnan, and then memories of Suzhou Wugong, drinking wine and spring bamboo leaves in Wugong, watching the singers in Wugong dance like charming hibiscus. We always meet again in the morning and evening.

analyse

The first song "Can you forget Jiangnan", so what is Bai Juyi's longest impression in Hangzhou? The ancient book says: "Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou is rich in osmanthus. The monk in the temple said,' Plant this month.' Up to now, watching the night in the Mid-Autumn Festival, children often fall, and monks try to pick it up. "Since monks in the temple can pick it, it seems that Bai Juyi deliberately picked it when he was in Hangzhou, and he also went to Lingyin Temple many times to look for Na Yue's laurel seeds, just to appreciate the osmanthus flowers on the moonlit night in Sanqiu. Bai Juyi is a poet, and naturally he has a romantic temperament. On the moonlit night of osmanthus fragrans in August, he lingered under the moon, sometimes looking up at the moon, and sometimes looking down to see if there were laurel trees flying in the shadow of osmanthus fragrans. What a beautiful and moving picture this is. One is to find words, and emotion and scenery blend together, meaning and scenery blend together, poetic and fascinating.

The second song "Looking for Guizi in Mountain Temple under the Moon" is a legend. It is said that on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the sound of osmanthus falling on the moon can be heard in a quiet temple. In the third poem, "Wu Gong" refers to Suzhou, and "Wu Wa" refers to the beauty of Suzhou. This poem says that the wine in Suzhou is good, and the beauty and dance are more exciting.

The third song is about Suzhou. Wu wine and a cup of spring bamboo leaves. Some people may say that Zhu is not Wu wine. What is this? On the one hand, bamboo leaves and hibiscus are double in the next sentence. On the other hand, "spring" is an adjective here. The so-called spring bamboo leaves do not necessarily refer to bamboo leaf green wine, but to wine that can bring spring. Bai Juyi said in another poem that "the bamboo leaves in the urn are ripe in spring", but in the middle Tang Dynasty when Bai Juyi lived, many famous wines were named after the word "spring", such as "spring rich in water" and "spring every other spring". Most literati love wine, and Bai Juyi is no exception. Drinking Wu wine and watching "Wu Wa Shuang Dance" is like the dance of drunken hibiscus. Baby is a kind of beauty. Stone is called "baby", and the house built for her by Fu Cha, the king of Wu, is called "Guanwa Palace". Perhaps Bai Juyi wrote this because of his association with the stunning beauty stone. Ten years later, in Luoyang, he recalled drinking and watching dance, and could not help but sigh: "See you again sooner or later?" . Sooner or later, it was said at that time, which means when.

Make an appreciative comment

Bai Juyi was born in Taiyuan (now Shanxi Province), and his name is Lotte, a layman in Xiangshan. He was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, second only to Li Bai and Du Fu. He has made great achievements in poetry and contributed to the development of Ci.

This poem "Remembering Jiangnan" was written in Luoyang in his later years, and the lines are full of his cordial memories of life in Jiangnan.

Jiangnan refers to the area south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, including the south of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces and the north of Zhejiang Province. There are only twenty-seven words in the poem "Recalling Jiangnan". The beginning and the end are all chanting the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, and three or four sentences describe the scenery of Qiantang River, which is colorful and desirable. "I used to know the scenery", "I know [ān]", I am familiar with it. The meaning of this sentence is that the landscape writers there used to be familiar with it. Bai Juyi is the local governor of Hangzhou and Suzhou. He cares about the sufferings of the local people and is familiar with the landforms and vegetation there. Take Hangzhou as an example, where the lotus flowers around the city, the pine trees blowing through the city, the picturesque West Lake, the strange Qiantang River tide and the blue carpet-like rice fields are all written in his poems. All this is so beautiful that he will never forget it. He remembers walking by the river in the spring morning and watching a red sun rise in the east of Ran Ran. "When the sun rises, the flowers in the river are redder than the fire." The spring flowers along the river are covered with dew, which is very lovely. In the sunshine, flowers are redder than flames. River flowers are flowers by the river. The river is as green as blue in spring. "Blue" is a plant of Polygonum [Plum o] family, and its leaves contain blue juice, which can be used to make the dark blue dye indigo [diàn]. The water in spring is as green as indigo, which is a very vivid metaphor. It describes the color and depth of spring water, and these metaphors are good at truly describing the beauty of natural scenery. Can you forget Jiangnan is to make a positive conclusion in the tone of rhetorical question. After reading this, people who love the splendid rivers and mountains of the motherland seem to hear the author's praise and feel his excitement, which will naturally produce a kind of * * *.
