The eternal romantic eight wings, Jiangshan left behind.
The water runs three thousand miles south, and the barometric river covers fourteen states.
Introduction to ancient poetry
Title of Eight Wing Buildings is a poem written by Li Qingzhao, a poetess in the Song Dynasty, after she crossed the south. In the poem, Li Qingzhao uses allusions accurately, borrowing two allusions: Bayong Building and Fourteen States. In addition to praising the ancients Shen Yue and Guan Xiu, it is also a satire on the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court's reparations. In her poems, Li Qingzhao greatly expressed her worries about state affairs and her desire to recover lost land, and lamented the depression of the Song Dynasty. Among them, the sentence "Jiangshan generations stay, endless future troubles" is a well-known sentence.

Climb the Bayong Building and overlook it, leaving behind the worries of state affairs for future generations. The dense waterways here can go deep into the south of the Yangtze River for more than 3,000 miles, and its strategic position is enough to affect the survival of the fourteen states in the south of the Yangtze River.

Make an appreciative comment
The first sentence of the poem, "Ode to the Eight Pagodas", is the most attractive building with a light and natural style, which is more vivid than realism. The second sentence, "Jiangshan stays, and the future troubles are endless", follows the previous sentence, which means that a scenic spot in the southeast of China, like Bayong Tower, is no longer full of vitality and splendor, or even a personal worry like Shen Yue, but a worry about the great rivers and mountains that may fall into the enemy's home country. For this kind of "worry", Li Qingzhao has expressed it many times in her own poems. Facts have proved that her "worry about mountains and rivers" is not superfluous, because "Jin people have been bowing hard in late autumn and returning in summer. As far away as Huguang, Hunan and Zhejiang, there is no place where soldiers are noisy "(chicken ribs roll). Specifically, with the fall of Bianjing and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jiankang and Hangzhou, the courthouses of the Southern Song Dynasty, were once lost. Once upon a time, the nomads from northern Shanxi were driven to death, and Emperor Gaozong had to escape from the sea. At present, Lin 'an, as an active city, is once again seriously threatened by the invasion of Jin and Qi. Even if the enemy retreats to the original place, if he does not take drastic measures to cross the Huaihe River and recover the lost land in the north, but blindly uses land, jade and money to please the enemy, then the "barbarians" of the tiger and the wolf will never stop there, and the great rivers and mountains in the Southern Song Dynasty will have no security guarantee. This is the profound meaning of the poet's "forgetting his life and worrying about the country and the people", and it is also a versatile and profound patriotic feeling.
The phrase "water communication" may be of some significance to Guan Xiu's poem "Sending money to his father" and "Forcing fourteen states" in Xue Tao's poem "Building Frontier". For the former, the importance of Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang) is emphasized by the distance of "three thousand miles" and the width of "fourteen States"; The latter changed from "pressure" to "air pressure", which is more magnificent than Shi Xue's poems. It seems that this is not just a question of writing skills. The above two poems can arouse Li Qingzhao's interest mainly because of Xue's concern for "frontier affairs" and the spirit shown in his poems. There is another interesting story about Guan: Guan Xiu, a native of Lanxi, Wuzhou, was a poet and monk in the late Tang Dynasty. Qian Liu called Yue and made a poem to congratulate him. Qian wants to be emperor, so Guan Xiu can change "fourteen states" to "forty states" before he can receive him. Guan Xiu replied: "It is difficult to add a state, but it is difficult to change a poem." He put on his cloak and left. Later, Guan Xiu was treated by Wang Jian, a former Shu, and was honored as the "Master of Zen Moon". Guan Xiu would rather leave his hometown for Sichuan than change "fourteen states" into "forty states" easily. Li Qingzhao borrowed this kind of poem, or to ridicule the Southern Song Dynasty court, at the expense of land.
This poem is magnificent and ethereal. Writing it will not only help to diversify the style of the work, but also avoid the tendency of similarity and slogan. Although a good slogan is inspiring and necessary under certain conditions, it is not a poem. Once the condition changes, it will lose its function and be forgotten. This song by Li Qingzhao (named "Eight Odes on a Tower") lasted for 8900 years, and the reason why its charm can still touch people's hearts is closely related to its profound and seamless allusions. Only in this way, the poetess's poem about Baron Tower not only overwhelmed many "eyebrows" in front of her, but also will last forever, just like "the moon is full of streams and the breeze is Baron Tower".
