On the river, the autumn geese just flew south, and they made friends with wine and hip flask mountain.
Laughter makes people laugh, when chrysanthemums are in full bloom.
Only by indulging in the Double Ninth Festival, there is no need to sigh and hate the afterglow of the sunset.
Just through the ages, why Niu Shan alone with clothes!
This poem was written by Du Mu and Zhang Hu when they climbed Qishan on the Double Ninth Festival. It expresses the poet's cheerful and open-minded thoughts and feelings. "Nine Days" is the abbreviation of Double Ninth Festival in early September. In ancient times, there was a custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival. "Qishan" is in Chizhou, southeast of Guichi, Anhui. During the reign of Wuzong Huichang, Du Mu was the secretariat of Chizhou.
The first couplet is Deng Qishan. This annual Double Ninth Festival is another sunny day. The poet boarded Qishan with wine and Zhang Hu. Looking down at the river, it is calm, like a mirror, reflecting all autumn scenery, and the geese flying in the sky also cast shadows on the river. "Cuiwei" refers to a mountain with green hills. This beautiful autumn scenery makes the poet feel relaxed.
"The world can't laugh, so you have to put chrysanthemums on your head", using the story of Tao Yuanming in secret. According to "Continued Jinyang Autumn": Tao Yuanming in Jin Dynasty had no wine on September 9th one year. He was picking chrysanthemums by the house. When he met Wang Hong, he sat next to them when he delivered wine. Although he drank it, he came back drunk. Poets feel that the world is dirty, and it is difficult to meet people who smile with their mouths open; In the embrace of nature, I feel my spirit has been liberated, so I also want to pick a handful of chrysanthemums and put them in my head to enjoy the day.
Necklace: "But you will be rewarded as drunk as a fiddler, and you don't have to hate it when you board the ship." Poets frequently advise wine: Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and it is rare to get drunk several times in life. Let's all get drunk! There is no need to hold a grudge against the sunset. Tao Yuanming said: "wine can relieve sorrow, and chrysanthemum can solve aging." Du Mu has high political ambitions, but he has never been able to display them. He has a lot of troubles and pains in his heart. He once had a feeling that "idle people are like nothing". When getting together with friends, it is actually an indelible reflection of his own regrets.
William also used the ancients to comfort himself and his friends. "Niu Shan" means Qi Jinggong. According to Yanzi Chunqiu, Qi Jinggong traveled to Niu Shan and looked at Linzi in the north, saying, "If you die here!" Tears ran down and wet the clothes. The poet thinks that the birth and death of nature are the same from ancient times to the present, so there is no need to shed tears for it. The poet's thoughts and emotions have a melancholy and negative side, as well as an open-minded and Ren Zhen side. On this day, he tried to get rid of depression and enjoy himself. This is the mainstream of poetry.
This poem describes the activities of the Double Ninth Festival, with distinct levels and natural transition. The relationship between the two thoughts and emotions is also handled very properly, so the whole poem appears vigorous and detached, without any sadness.
Du Fu's poem "Ascending the Mountain in Nine Days" says: "Why should Niu Shan shed tears?" Gai Yong traveled to Niu Shan and cried about his country. He talked about the past and the present, and boarded the plane without sighing. Not nine days ago. ([Song] Zhu Bian's Romantic Poetry)
Starting from seven words, write the infinite divinity at that time. ..... drunk is drunk, why complain? The word "only so" is wonderful, so is drunkenness, so is drunkenness, so is resentment, and so is no resentment. (Jin Shengtan's Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty)
The last two sentences allude to "Qishan", which is not a general writing. (Shen Deqian's Three Hundred Tang Poems, Volume 15)
