Explanation of Li Bai egret and falcon

Li Bai's "Egret Oriole"

"The egret flies under the autumn water, flying alone like falling frost. My heart is free and has not left, beside the independent sandbank."

First sentence "Egret Under Autumn Water" uses contrasting techniques to make the image of the egret particularly prominent. Against the bright and spacious backdrop of the sky and water, it has an ethereal and transparent effect. The second sentence "lonely is not like falling frost" emphasizes that this single dynamic in the vast space attracts attention. "Like falling frost" on the one hand implies the beauty of pure whiteness. On the other hand, the analogy between egrets and frost also implies the harmonious beauty between egrets and nature. Three or four sentences are the end of the previous dynamic and a new development. "Xinxin" means that the state of mind of "flying alone" is not helpless loneliness, but carefree freedom. In order to further brew this feeling, the egret temporarily stopped flying and stood alone next to the sandbank, becoming a still picture. , with the light of heaven, earth and water as its background, a little white shadow remains motionless, and the mood is extremely beautiful. In addition, "Qi has not gone" not only refers to the temporary cessation of Gu Fei, but also points out that Shazhou's independence is also temporary, so it is not difficult to see the underlying meaning: after independence, Gu Fei will still be flying, just like when Gu Fei was alone. Being independent is nothing more than fully revealing the egret's free life of flying when it wants to fly and stopping when it wants to, and the poet's own interest in enjoying the joy of self-sufficiency is self-evident.

Tasting analysis: Li Bai's wide range of tastes is like a painter who is very good at sketching, or a master photographer who is very good at capturing the lens. His description of the "moving" and "quiet" aspects of the egret is exquisite.

"The egret flies down the autumn water, flying alone like frost." Autumn has a chilly atmosphere, but the egret enters the water to fish with such rapidity that it makes people dizzy. It is really "flying alone like frost." ". After catching fish, you are leisurely and contented, "your mind is at ease and you haven't left yet". This place is just right, so why do you need to do other things? Therefore, being "independently next to the sandbank" is like an old monk entering concentration.
