Creation background

This poem was written on April 9th in the 12th year of Tang Xianzong Yuanhe (8 17). At that time, Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) Sima, and there was no practical business to do. In his spare time, he roamed Lushan Mountain together, and made a preface for You Dalin Temple, recording his affairs: "With Henan Yuanji Xu, Zhong, Nanyang Zhi, Yu, Anding Liang Bi. The forest is far away and inaccessible. Around the temple, there are many clean Cang Shi, short pine and thin bamboo. There are only wooden houses in the temple, and its monks are all Haidong people. The mountains are deep, the season is never late, and it is in Xia Yue. For example, in February, the peach blossoms are in early bloom, the grass is still short, and the personality climate is different from that of the flat settlements. If you didn't build a world when you first came here. Because of the slogan "Peach Blossom in Dalin Temple". Looking around the walls, I saw the names of Xiao Langzhong Village, Wei Langzhong Hong Jian and Li Bubu Bo, and Ji lamented,' This place is really the best in the world.' There is no half way from the post road to the mountain gate. Since Xiao, Wei and Li You traveled for 20 years, there has been no successor. Ha ha! So is the temptation of fame and fortune. On April 9th, in the 12th year of the reign of Yuan Dynasty, Bai Letian, Taiyuan made a preface. "This poem was an impromptu quatrain.

Make an appreciative comment

The whole poem is just four sentences, which seems to have nothing profound and amazing in terms of content and language. It is only a narrative and description of seasons and climate, and it is a kind of scenery that "the mountains are deep and the seasons are not late" and "different from the flat settlements". But if you read it carefully, you will find that this simple and natural poem is far-reaching and interesting.

At the beginning of the poem, the words "the world is full of wheatgrass in April, and the mountain temple is full of peach blossoms" mean that when the poet climbs the mountain, he is already in Xia Meng, and it is time for spring to return to the earth and the wheatgrass to fall. But unexpectedly, in the mountain temple, I met an unexpected spring scene-a peach blossom that began to bloom. From the following sentence "I often hate that spring is nowhere to be found", we can know that the poet was resentful, angry and disappointed at the hasty absence of spring before boarding the ship. Therefore, when this unexpected spring scene comes into view, how amazing and joyful it is! The first sentence of this poem, "Fang Fei is exhausted" and the second sentence, "It begins to bloom", complement each other. Literally, they are chronicles, but in fact, they are also writing about the leap of feelings and thoughts-from a sad feeling of sighing over the past to surprise, joy and even elation. Moreover, at the beginning of the first sentence, the poet deliberately used the word "person", which means that this adventure and this scenic spot have brought a special feeling to the poet, that is, it seems that he suddenly stepped into a fairyland from the real world of human beings and was in another non-human world.

It is under the trigger of this feeling that the wings of the poet's imagination soar. "I often hate that spring is nowhere to be found. I don't know if I will come here." It suddenly occurred to him that he once hated the ruthlessness of spring because he cherished it and fell in love with it, but he was wrong. It turned out that spring didn't come back. He just sneaked into this place like a child playing hide-and-seek with others.

In this poem, peach blossoms are used instead of abstract spring scenery to make spring scenery concrete and beautiful; Moreover, it personifies the spring scenery and writes it as if it really has feet, so you can hide it around. No, just feet. You see, it simply has a naughty and provocative character!

In this short poem, the spring scenery in nature is so vivid and concrete, innocent and lovely, and it can't be written without infinite nostalgia and love for spring and the poet's childlike innocence. The beauty of this poem lies in its novel conception, ingenious conception, elegant and interesting playful language, which is also inspiring and pleasing to the eye. It can be described as another treasure in the quatrains of the Tang Dynasty.
