Riding a princess and laughing in the world of mortals, no one knows what litchi means.

The meaning of this poem is: a gallop, the dust rolling, the princess smiling, no one knows that the south has sent fresh litchi.

From the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's "Three Poems of Crossing the Qing Palace", the poet satirizes the present by using the ancient times, and deeply satirizes the reality through the event that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty spared no expense to supply litchi to Yang Guifei, expressing the poet's incomparable indignation at the extravagance and waste of the supreme ruler. The original poem is:

Looking back at Chang 'an, Mount Li is like a pile of splendid scenery, and the gates of Huaqing Palace on the top of the mountain are opened in turn.

As soon as I rode on the smile of smoke and smoke, no one knew that the fresh fruit litchi was sent from the south.

Translation:

Looking back on Chang 'an, Mount Li looks like a pile of magnificent scenery. On the top of the mountain, thousands of doors of Huaqing Palace opened in turn.

As soon as I rode, the smoke billowed and the princess smiled. No one knows that the south has sent litchi fresh fruit.

First, the creative background

This poem was written by Du Mu when he passed the Huaqing Palace in Lishan Mountain. Huaqing Palace was built in the 11th year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (723), where Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei had fun. Many poets in later generations have written poems about Huaqing Palace, among which Du Mu's Three Poems Crossing Huaqing Palace is one of the representative works.

Second, the appreciation of ancient poetry

The first sentence describes the scenery of Mount Li where Huaqing Palace is located. The poet writes from the perspective of "looking back" in Chang 'an, just like a film photographer, presenting a broad and far-reaching panorama of Mount Li to the audience. "Embroidered Pile" not only refers to the East Embroidered Ridge and the West Embroidered Ridge on both sides of Mount Li, but also describes the beauty of Mount Li.

Then, the scene moved forward, showing the magnificent palace on the top of the mountain. The normally closed palace door suddenly opened slowly. Then there are two close-ups: outside the palace, an emissary is riding a horse, flying fast, raising clouds of red dust behind him; In the palace, the princess smiled.

The artistic charm of Du Mu's poems lies in its implication and profundity. In the poem, I don't understand Xuanzong's dissolute lust, imperial concubine's love and arrogance. It is a sharp contrast between "galloping the world of mortals" and "smiling at the noble lady", which has received much stronger artistic effect than directly expressing her opinions. . The whole poem does not need difficult words, allusions and carvings. Simple and natural, profound and powerful. It is a masterpiece of history in the quatrains of the Tang Dynasty.
