Li Bai [Tang Dynasty] picturesque Jiangcheng, the mountains look clear at night. (Late one: Xiao)

Between the two rivers, one lake is like a bright mirror; The two bridges on the river look like rainbows falling from the sky.

Orange forest pomelo is set off in the cold smoke of kitchen smoke; Autumn is boundless, and the phoenix tree has become old.

Besides me, who will think of the North Tower and welcome the autumn wind, Miss Xie?

Xie Shu North Building, also known as Xie Gong Building, was built by Xie Shu, a poet of Southern Qi Dynasty, when he was the magistrate of Xuancheng. In the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Zhang Die Building, which is a tourist attraction in Xuancheng. Xuancheng is surrounded by mountains and waters, Lingyang mountains are winding and the three peaks are beautiful; Zhuxi and Wanxi streams are reflected all over the suburbs. It's really like "Birds come to the mountains, birds come to the mountains, and people are crying in the water" (Du Mu titled "Your Excellency, Shui Ge in Kaiyuan Temple, Xuanzhou, Wanxijia Xijuren"). This poem was written in the 13th year of Tianbao (754). After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Bai came to Xuancheng from Jinling.

"In the picturesque Jiangcheng, the mountains look very clear at night." The first couplet says that the city by the river is as beautiful as the picture, and the mountains are late. I boarded Xie Shoulou and looked at the clear sky. On a clear autumn evening, the poet boarded the Xiegong Building alone. The blue mountain shadow is so bright and clean! Seen from a height, this "Jiangcheng" is like painting a picture. In the first two sentences, the poet wrote a summary of the scenery he saw during the tour, always with the whole article, which immediately attracted the readers deeply and entered the artistic conception of the poem together. This is Li Bai's usual expression of "straight to the point".

"Two rivers are caught in a mirror, and the rainbow falls from a double bridge." The connection means that between two rivers, a pool of water is like a mirror; The two bridges on the river are like rainbows falling from the sky. "Ershui" refers to Juxi and Wanxi. Wanxi source leaves Yishan, joins Zhu Xi in the northeast of Xuancheng, and joins around the city, so it is called "clip". Because it is autumn, the stream is clearer and flows calmly, and the wave surface is glittering and translucent. "Mirror" is the most appropriate description. "Double Bridge" refers to the upper and lower bridges across the stream. The upper bridge is called Phoenix Bridge, which is outside Taihe Gate in the southeast of the city. The bridge below is called Jichuan Bridge, which is located outside Yangde East Gate in the east of the city. It was built in the reign of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty (58 1-600). These two long bridges stand on the stream and are reflected in the water. Seen from the tall building, the light green stream and the bright red sunset reflect infinitely strange bright colors under the flickering lights. Where is this bridge? It's like two rainbows in the sky, and the shadow of this rainbow falls in the mirror. The poet's imagination here is rich and wonderful, and his pen is lively and ethereal, which is amazing again.

"People cold orange pomelo, autumn old phoenix tree." Neck band means that the orange forest and pomelo forest are hidden in cold smoke; Autumn is boundless, and the phoenix tree is aging. In the autumn evening, there was silence in Yuan Ye. In the jungle surrounded by mountains, the smoke from kitchen chimneys, the deep blue of orange pomelo and the light yellow of phoenix tree present a bleak and bleak scenery, which makes people feel that Qiu Guang should be old. It is not difficult for us to imagine that the poet was completely immersed in his own field of vision and observed deeply and meticulously; And his description is not sticky at all. He stood tall, looked far away, grasped the feeling of an instant, used extremely concise language, and then sketched the outline of a late autumn at will, profoundly revealing the atmosphere of the season and the environment. It not only writes about autumn scenery, but also writes about autumn. If we understand it carefully, we will find that it is highly generalized and meticulous with a pen.

The two couplets in the middle are concrete descriptions. The artistic images created by these four poems are all born of the word "Wang" in the first couplet. From the structural relationship, the first two sentences are written as "picturesque river" and the last two sentences are written as "clear night sky"; The four sentences are a complete unity, and they are hierarchical.

"Whoever goes to the North Building will appreciate the wind." At the end of the couplet, it is said that besides me, who else would like to come to Xie Tiao North Building to meet the bleak autumn wind and miss Mr. Xie? The last two sentences are simple on the surface, but in fact, they are the same as the first two sentences, pointing out that the place to visit is in the north building; This north building was built by Xie Shu, which seems to be the usual formula from boarding to nostalgia, so Li Bai can't help but say something about nostalgia by the way. What is worth noting here is the word "who reads". "HuaiXie Gong" is the author's self-reference; The word "who reads" refers to others. The meaning of two sentences is that no one can understand the feeling of "grateful to the public". This is no ordinary nostalgia.

Li Bai has been frustrated politically and lived a wandering life since he was excluded by powerful people and abandoned his official position. The frustration and sadness of the guest, especially when the autumn wind is rustling, can be imagined. Xuancheng is his old haunt, and now he's back. As soon as he arrives in Xuancheng, he will miss Xie Shu, not only because Xie Shu has left such scenic spots and historic sites in Xuancheng, but more importantly, Xie Shu has the same feelings for Xuancheng as himself. Li Bai looked out from Xie Shou Lou alone, facing the mountains and rivers that Xie Shou admired, and remembered the tragic life of the previous generation poets that he had always admired. Although ancient and modern are different, the spirit of its cultural genes is far from each other. This gloomy mood reflects his political loneliness. Because of political repression, he couldn't find a way out, so he had to send his feelings to mountains and rivers and to the ancients who were still traveling. Who can understand his complicated mood at that time?

Lipper

Li Bai (70 1-762), a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, was called "Poet Fairy" by later generations and "Du Li" with Du Fu. In order to distinguish himself from two other poets, Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai were also called together. According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Li Bai is the ninth grandson of Gui Li, the king of Liang, and he is a descendant of all kings. He is cheerful and generous, loves to drink and write poems, and likes to make friends. Li Bai was deeply influenced by Huang Lao's idea of sorting out villages. Li Taibai's poems have been handed down from generation to generation, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include Looking at Lushan Waterfall, it is hard to go, Difficult Road to Shu, Entering Wine, Fu Zhi, and First Making Baidicheng. ? 5394 famous sentences are ancient? 1 185 Poetry
