What does the sunset symbolize?

The length of the sunset (sunset, sunset glow)-bleak loss, boundless gloom, nostalgia-wandering, missing women, strong men, homesick for the past.

(1) "to see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night" (Le Garden Scenic Area by Li Shangyin), and the sunset gives people the feeling of desolation, depression and loss.

In ancient times, wandering women were especially good at expressing their feelings with sunset.

For example:

The folk song "Xizhou Qu" in the Southern Dynasties: "Hongfei is full of Xizhou, and Wang Lang is on the West Building; You can't see the height of the building or the railings. "

Fan Zhongyan's Su Curtain Covers: "The mountains reflect the sunset water, and the grass is ruthless, even outside the sunset."

Fang Ting, a man from Qin Guan, said, "Outside the setting sun, count in the west Western jackdaw, and the water flows around the lonely village."

Ma Zhiyuan's "Tianjingsha Qiu Si": "When the sun sets, heartbroken people are at the end of the world."

All the above four are based on the setting sun to set off, contrast and render the sadness of men and women falling in love.

(2) The sunset in a specific environment will give people a hazy feeling.

Therefore, the ancients often used the image of the sunset to shape the artistic conception of the weather, such as:

Wang Wei's "Make it Fort": "The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen."

Fan Zhongyan's Fisherman's Pride: "There are sounds all around, and thousands of miles of smoke are lonely."

Liu Yong's Klang Ganzhou: "first frost is tight, the river is cold, and the residual photos are buildings." In the bleak cold, there is a wild and naive weather.

(3) "The green hills are still there, and the sunset glow is a little red" (Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms). Because the sunset glow is related to the time sequence cycle, poets often use the sunset glow to recall the ancient love affairs.

For example:

Gui Zhi Xiang Jin Mausoleum Nostalgia written by Wang Anshi uses the realistic background of "sailing to the sunset, carrying the west wind on his back and the wine flag slanting", and feels that "the old events of the Six Dynasties follow the flowing water, and the cold smoke fades the grass".

Zhou Bangyan's "Xihe Jinling Nostalgia" skillfully uses anthropomorphic techniques to link the sunset with its ups and downs: "Swallows don't know what life it is, and they enter ordinary lanes and strange people. Relatively speaking, they rise and fall in the sunset. "

Li Bai's Remember Qin E is more popular. In the same poem, Shangtan wrote about the yearning for the moon, while Xiatan wrote about the nostalgia for the sunset. At the end of the poem, the words "the west wind still shines, and the Han tomb is not seen" present a beautiful, vast and vast artistic conception, and its solemn and profound sense of historical vicissitudes emerges through the paper.
