problem solving

In the autumn when Li Bai went out to Shu, he went to Jinling, now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and lived for about half a year. In the spring of the 14th year of Kaiyuan (726), the poet went to Yangzhou. When he left, his friends held a farewell party for him in the hotel, and Li Bai left a poem to say goodbye.

Sentence solution

A gust of wind blew catkins, which made the shop more fragrant. A girl from Wu poured wine and advised me to drink it.

The breeze blows the catkins and the hotel overflows with fragrance; Wu Ji held out the newly squeezed wine and advised the guests to taste it. "Liu Hua" means late spring. "Jinling" obviously belongs to Jiangnan. It's March in the south of the Yangtze River, with misty willow smoke and intoxicated spring breeze. As soon as the poet walked into the shop, the refreshing smell came to his face. This word "Xiang" connects the inside and outside of the store. Jinling belonged to Emperor Wu in ancient times, so the local woman was called "Wu Ji", which means housewife. She smiled and greeted the guests politely while pressing wine (that is, pressing distiller's grains to get wine juice). In the meantime, it is really like a spring breeze, which is intoxicating and fascinating.

These two sentences write a strong Jiangnan flavor. Although it is not clearly written outside the store, there are "peanut trees and birds flying around" outside the store, and the world of wheat straw filled with willow smoke is faintly visible. At this time, both the poet and the reader's vision, smell and hearing are mobilized. As Zhong Xing said: "It doesn't need much, it doesn't need depth, it needs to be written with emotion." Some versions of the word "Hu" in the poem are also called "persuasion".

"Liu Hua", that is, catkins, originally had no fragrance, but some poets smelled it, such as the legendary "Don't sing in spring, which makes people feel separated from their intestines." Lang Xing has not returned for a long time, and Liu Zi is fragrant with snow. Therefore, Yang Shengan, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, said: "In fact, Liu Hua also has a slight fragrance, and the poet's words are true; Liuhuaxiang is not too white to say; The fragrance of bamboo can't be said without beauty. "In fact, the understanding of' full store fragrance' does not need to be limited to this at all. It should be the fragrance of flowers from the spring breeze, the fragrance of soil and vegetation, and the fragrance of wine, which is probably also a "heart fragrance". The so-called "heart is refreshing and smells wonderful". "

Comrades in my city came to see me off. When each of them drank his glass, I said to him when leaving.

A group of young people from Jinling came here to see the poet off. Send-off wine, you pour me a glass, both those who want to go and those who don't. Some people think that this shows that the gift giver is diligent in persuading wine and reluctant to say goodbye; Say goodbye and don't want to go, infinite nostalgia, so "do what you want."

Li Bai's trip is to Yangzhou. Later, he said in "History of Shang 'an Peichang": "In that year, I traveled to the east before the end of the year, and I scattered more than 300,000. There are several poor sons, and I know all about them. This is white, so I can give it. " Li Bai is very generous and likes to make friends. At that time, he was young and rich, and he was generous with wealth, so he had many friends. The same is true of Jinling. A group of friends drink and say goodbye. Teenagers are just young, full of interest, and have no intention of hurting others, which is also in line with the characteristics of young people. "Do your best" means drinking a glass of dry wine. Shang, a vessel for holding wine.

Oh, ask this river flowing eastward, whether it can go further than the love of friends! ?

Jinling and his party made the poets happy. In such a beautiful season, a nostalgic place, the poet had to leave. Faced with the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River and the hospitality of friends, the poet is reluctant to part. How can he express his infinite feelings for farewell? Perhaps the farewell hotel is facing the big river, and the poet uses water as a metaphor: Who is shorter and longer than the river flowing eastward?

Emotion is abstract, even if it is deep and thick, it can't be seen or touched; And the river is vivid, giving people the feeling that it is endless. However, the poet is not a simple metaphor, but a comparison of questions. He is fascinated by the vast land, seemingly closed but not closed, incoherent and endless, giving people room for imagination. In this way of expression, Li Bai may be inspired by his predecessors. For example, Xie Tiao wrote "The river flows day and night, and the guest's heart is sad", while Li Bai wrote it more vividly and naturally.

Comments and explanations

Many people write more about parting than words. The so-called "parting from sorrow". However, there is not even a trace of sadness in Li Bai's poems, only another meaning. Shen Deqian said that this poem "doesn't need to be deep, but it is enough to write feelings". The poet was in Huamao when he was young. He left behind a group of young friends instead of one or two confidants. This farewell feeling was written by him, full and hearty, melodious and ups and downs, sighing but not sad, full of youthful and heroic feelings.
