Appreciation of Sentences in Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower (Ⅱ)

Appreciation of Yellow Crane Tower in Cui Hao

The fairy of the past has flown away by the yellow crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower.

The yellow crane never revisited earth, there have been no long white clouds for thousands of years.

Jing is a Hanyang tree, while Parrot Island is a nest of herbs.

But I looked home, and the twilight was getting thicker. The river is shrouded in mist, which brings people deep melancholy.

The poet came here with great longing for the Yellow Crane Tower, but there was no sign of the immortal driving the crane. In front of him was an ordinary river tower. "Where the yellow crane used to carry saints to heaven, now only the Yellow Crane Tower is left." The gap between the beautiful vision and the ordinary river building has laid a lost background in the poet's heart and laid a potential foreshadowing for the expression of homesickness complex.

"Yellow cranes will no longer come, and white clouds will no longer fly." The natural landscape of Yellow Crane Tower, where the Yellow River meets the sky, is more and more magnificent and spacious against the background of white clouds. Influenced by this scene, the poet's mood gradually brightened, and the feelings in his chest grew wings: the long history and beautiful legend of the Yellow Crane Tower were repeated in front of his eyes, but in the end, things changed and the crane was gone. What can people leave to stand the test of time? She is nothing, she is making the world die, the ocean dry up, the rocks collapse, and giving up her constant nostalgia and nostalgia.

"Every tree in Hanyang becomes clear in the water, and Nautilus Island is a nest of sweet grass." The sun is shining high, the sky is clear and blue, and in a trance, the trees on the north bank of Hanshui River turn into long-missed dear people, just like eyes. Warm sunshine brings warmth to people's homes. Vaguely, Mi Fei, who was beating drums in the grass on Nautilus Island, died in the face of Huang Zu's butcher knife, shedding green grass with blood. It is the selfless dedication of countless wandering wanderers soaked in blood and tears that has built countless unforgettable hometowns. Beautiful vision and emotional memories make the sentence "Qingchuan, Cao Fang" very human. Therefore, the ideological interest of poetry has reached a higher position.

"but I looked home, and the twilight was getting thicker? There is a sad mist on the river waves. "After sunset, it is night, birds will return home, ships will return home, and wanderers will return home. Fog and smoke, in a daze, ask for silence from their hometown and feel homesick. In the face of this situation, no one misses home. The poem ends with a "worry", which accurately expresses the poet's mood of boarding the Yellow Crane Tower at dusk. At the same time, with the metaphor at the beginning, he expresses his lingering homesickness with ups and downs, reaching the implication that he expresses his feelings inside the painting and drags his voice outside the painting.

The first two folk songs in the poem are full of charm, vivid scenery and connected language. The last two sentences are neat, harmonious and beautiful, and the literary talent is flying. In particular, the author's unique tailoring is even more memorable. The poet organically combines the narrow homesickness of missing relatives with the broad homesickness of caring for the whole world, which makes the charm and character of this poem reach the peak of its kind. The poet's demeanor and temperament are also highlighted with the development of poetry: he is brilliant, like a clear stream flowing from east to west; He is informal, like a lush grass. There is no decadent narcissism and narrow selfishness, and the expression of homesickness is equally magnificent and heroic, which is worthy of being praised by future generations as the first masterpiece in the seven-law poems of the Tang Dynasty.

The former site of Yellow Crane Tower is at the bridgehead of Wuchang Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, Hubei Province.

According to legend, it was founded in the Three Kingdoms in the second year of Huang Wu (223). Wuchang was called Ezhou in ancient times. According to "Yuanhe County Records", "Ezhou City faces the great river in the west and the Yellow Crane Tower in the southwest corner." There is also a legend, 1297 Tang poetry appreciation ceremony during the Three Kingdoms period.

A man named Fei is immortal. He once took a yellow crane to rest in this building, hence the name Yellow Crane Tower. This has cast a magical color on the Millennium Gu Lou and made it more famous in the world.

"Where the yellow crane used to carry saints to heaven, now only the Yellow Crane Tower is left." It is natural that the poet wandered here and came to the scene on impulse and recited such a poem first. This opening speech is clear and fluent, without rhetoric on the surface, but with unrestrained feelings. With the help of the legend of the building name, people can be brought into a mythical realm at once, which makes people have infinite reverie. From this point of view, the opening sentence of this poem is abrupt and steep, fascinating and strange to the people. Facing the traces of history, people can't help thinking. "Ride" and "leisure", "people in the past" and "here" set each other off as an interest, which condensed the great feelings of ancient and modern changes and things are different, and profoundly expressed the lofty feelings of the poet at the beginning of his ascent to the building.

"Yellow cranes will never come, and white clouds will never fly." Zhuan Xu returned to reality from myths and legends. When the poet climbed the Drum Tower, he saw the vast blue sky and white clouds. Such an ethereal realm will inevitably make poets with bumpy careers feel infinite melancholy about the world. Here, the poet broke through the restriction of metrical rules and did not require the neatness of antithesis. Part of speech and meter seem to be right and wrong, and the front is wrong with the back. But when reading, the syllables are clear and bright, which seems to flow naturally and without attention.

The antithesis of the neckline is very delicate and steady. "Every tree in Hanyang becomes clear in the water, and Nautilus Island is a nest of sweet grass." Painted a beautiful river view. When the poet's line of sight retreated from the distant sky to the ground scenery, Hanyang, which faces the Yellow Crane Tower across the river, first came into view.

There are green trees and the Han River meets, which is particularly clear in the bright sunshine. On the river, I can only see a hill and sandbar rising in the middle of the river, that is Nautilus Island. Mi Fei, a scholar at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once wrote "Parrot Fu" on the mainland. Mi Heng was killed by Jiangxia satrap Huang Zu on the mainland, and later generations renamed the mainland Nautilus Island as a memorial. Su Heng has literary spirit, but she has no talent. In the end, she is unfortunate. There is only one meadow now. When the poet sees the scenery, he can't help thinking of his own life experience. Although he sketched a colorful and beautiful picture for the scene before him:

Red sunshine, white waves and dense green trees, but although the scenery is good, it is still a foreign land after all!

Then, the feeling of melancholy naturally turned into endless homesickness. "But I looked at my hometown, and the twilight was getting darker and the river waves were filled with sad mist." By the end of the couplets, the river was already dusk, as if shrouded in smoke. The word "smoke" can mean a hazy, diffuse and erratic scene. Many poets like it. Cui Hao used a "smoke wave" here, which naturally showed a hazy scene image and contained a mellow charm in the extremely profound visual image. It has something to do with Sunset

Together, they form a gloomy background and set off the poet's homesickness:

At dusk, busy people are going home, and I myself, frustrated in my career, still face the vast river, and I am alone in the boundless twilight, adding a sense of wandering in a different place. The end of a word "worry" points out the main idea of the whole article.

Homesickness is one of the main contents of ancient lyric, which is more common in the poems of wandering ashore. Although this kind of poetry does not express the feelings of worrying about the country and the people, it can reflect the plight of some intellectuals in feudal society from the poet's wandering and turbulent life feelings. The poem "Yellow Crane Tower" is a masterpiece of this kind with gorgeous scenery, open realm and no decadent emotional tone.

This poem expresses the mourning for the past and the homesickness of the wanderer through what the poet recorded when he visited the Yellow Crane Tower when his career was frustrated. The first four sentences of this poem mainly describe the poet's grief when he boarded the Yellow Crane Tower. This feeling that the ancient style still exists is naturally closely related to the beautiful legend about the naming origin of the Yellow Crane Tower. It is beautiful and illusory to drive a crane to become an immortal, but the poet romantically thinks that there is nothing, affirming that they "go by yellow crane." Now there's only one empty building left in Loki, which is just a name! Therefore, the poet mourns the past and hurts the present, and points out the empty building through the crane, thus making the picture show a sense of emptiness. The phrase "Yellow crane will never come again, and white clouds will never fly without him" deeply contains the invisible regret of the ancients and shows the poet's feelings about the impermanence of the world. This kind of personnel change is typical and common in the eyes of the ancients, and it is easy to touch the voice of the politically frustrated. The last four sentences of the poem are about the scenery you saw when you went upstairs and the homesickness born of mourning. The poet climbed up the building and looked into the distance. The flat land near the East Qingchuan Pavilion in Hanyang Prefecture is lush and full of vitality. On Nautilus Island in the middle of the river, business is booming. Seeing the graceful green trees and lush grass, the poet suddenly remembered the famous sentence "Wang Sun swims without returning, spring grass grows and flowers grow" in Chu Ci, which triggered his homesickness, so the poet's eyes fell on the "Yanbo River" at dusk. Thus, the phrase "there is a layer of sad fog on the river waves" reveals a deep homesickness. For those who travel in a foreign land, it is not difficult to understand this vague and endless spiritual feeling.

This is an extraordinary work in legal poetry. The first four sentences of the poem are like a rainbow, and the words "yellow crane" and "empty" are used together. The third sentence is almost all Legato, and the fourth sentence is finished in three levels. Completely free from the constraints of format and hierarchy, it flows naturally, which means to follow the pen and jump to the page. Shen Deqian once praised it as "meaning comes first, God speaks beyond the language, and writes it vertically, so it is good at eternal wonder". As a metrical poem, since the first four sentences are abnormal, the last four sentences should try to correct the arrangement order. Otherwise, the seven methods will be written as seven ancient. Because the last four sentences of the poem are also very natural when they return to the meter, on the whole, they still give people a magnificent and seamless feeling. In a sense, this poem is really an innovation and breakthrough, so people not only don't blame it for "deviation", but feel novel.

There are many famous mountains and rivers in China, all of which have extremely beautiful legends of the Ming Dynasty, but they are not necessarily as famous at home and abroad as the Yellow Crane Tower, like the Great Wall in China, the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Terracotta Warriors in Xi. Why is this? In addition to the beautiful legend of selling wine and meeting immortals, the main reason is the praise and praise of poets in previous dynasties. After the completion of the Yellow Crane Tower, it attracted a large number of literati to come to recite poems and write poems, and it was their poems that made the Yellow Crane Tower famous all over the world. Among many famous poets, the most famous are the poems of Cui Hao and Li Bai in Tang Dynasty.

According to legend, one year, the poet Cui Hao came to the Yellow Crane Tower. After the visit, he improvised a poem:

The fairy of the past has flown away by the yellow crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower.

The yellow crane never revisited earth, Baiyun will never fly without him.

Every tree in Hanyang has become clear due to sunlight, and Nautilus Island is covered with sweet grass.

But I looked at my hometown, and the twilight was getting thicker, and the mist of sadness was filled on the river waves.

This poem has a wonderful artistic conception and is a rare good poem describing the Yellow Crane Tower. However, due to the numerous poets in the Tang Dynasty, Cui Hao was not famous. Therefore, although the poem is good, no one appreciates it. Another year, the poet Li Bai came to the Yellow Crane Tower. The local people were very happy when they saw the poet coming here. They asked Li Bai to write a poem for the Yellow Crane Tower and name it. After Li Bai visited the Yellow Crane Tower, he thought the story was strange, the scenery was beautiful, and he was full of poetry, so he promised to write poetry. When people prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone, Li Bai dipped in thick ink and held his breath to start writing, but at this moment, he looked up and saw Cui Hao's poems on the wall. He froze on the spot, shook his head and stopped writing. The onlookers don't know why, so they ask why. I saw Li Bai sighed and sang a doggerel:

Break the Yellow Crane Tower with one punch and kick Nautilus Island with one foot.

There is a scene in front of you, and Cui Hao wrote a poem on it!

After singing, forget it and leave. Thanks to Li Bai's admiration, Cui Hao's poems gained a great reputation, and the poems of Yellow Crane Tower and Cui Hao spread everywhere. Faced with such a beautiful scenery, Li Bai was very disappointed. He didn't write a good poem. He is determined to find inspiration and compare with others. So he rented a boat and went east along the river. On this day, he came to the ancient city of Jinling. He visited the most famous scenic spot in Jinling-Phoenix Terrace. According to the genre of Cui Hao's poems about the Yellow Crane Tower, he wrote a poem "Jinling Odes to the Phoenix Terrace", which was compared with Cui Hao's works. This poem is written like this:

There used to be a phoenix on the phoenix platform, and the phoenix went to Taiwan, only Jiangdong returned.

The flowers and plants in the Wu Palace are hidden in the boudoir, and the golden clothes are ancient dust.

The mountains are shrouded in clouds, such as blue sky, and the river is divided into two.

There is always a traitor in power, like covering the sky, and Chang' an is depressed when he can't see it.

This poem is nostalgic and lyrical, just like Cui's poem, and its artistic conception is wonderful. Li Bai was very happy and thought it could be compared with Cui's poems. However, poetry critics believe that although this poem is good, it imitates Cui Shi too much, even the three words in the last sentence are the same, and the word "annoying" is used. So it didn't surpass Cui Shi. After hearing this, Li Bai was deeply impressed. So he buried it in his heart and decided to find another chance, three to one. The opportunity has finally come. This year, Li Bai sent his good friend Meng Haoran to Guangling (now Yangzhou) and came to the Yellow Crane Tower. Facing his friend's departure, he reluctantly wrote a sincere farewell poem for his friend who was about to travel:

Old friends frequently waved to me, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and traveled to Yangzhou in this beautiful spring filled with catkins and flowers.

My friend's sail shadow faded away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only seeing the first line of the Yangtze River and heading for the distant horizon.

This poem describes the magnificent artistic conception of the Yellow Crane Tower, making a blockbuster and becoming a swan song throughout the ages. Poets commented that among thousands of poems describing the Yellow Crane Tower, Cui Hao's Seven Laws-Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower, and Li Bai's Seven Musts-The Yellow Crane Tower bid Meng Haoran farewell to Yangzhou, ranking first. This is a famous poem inscribed by Cui Hao in history. When Li Bai stopped writing, Li Bai and Cui Hao fought three wars and finally won the first place, which made the Yellow Crane Tower famous throughout the ages.

It is precisely because of the beautiful legend of the Yellow Crane Tower that it is covered with a mysterious color and made famous all over the world. It is precisely because of the beautiful poems of many poets that the Yellow Crane Tower has added many cultural connotations and made it a household name.
