It's a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and the palace is fragrant with grass. Sad to take the court, the old minister of the north.
Jinling, the capital of the Three Kingdoms to the Five Dynasties and Six Dynasties, is an important theme for poets to chant history. Sikong Shu's "Jinling Nostalgia" is typical in material selection, exquisite in application and unique in originality.
The first two sentences are more realistic. The author chose two typical scenes to describe what he saw in front of him. There is not much pen and ink, but it can show the decadent and desolate scene of the ancient capital Jinling very concretely and vividly. Chariot Road is the road that the emperor passed by car. When the emperor traveled, the flag was like a forest, the drums were loud, and he was crowding around. It should be very imposing. At this point, this scene no longer exists, leaving only Jiang Feng, who has experienced many vicissitudes by the roadside, growing tall and big, covering the sky and casting a heavy shadow, making the deserted road darker and more gloomy. The word "dark" in Jiang Feng Dark is both realistic and reveals the author's heavy mood at the moment. It's synaesthesia and pun, the finishing touch.
Along this road, you can see some remnants of the palaces of the Six Dynasties. "Six generations of Taicheng competed for luxury", and the palaces in the past were resplendent and magnificent, not to mention the spring when flowers were blooming and birds were singing and dancing. Now it's desolate here, and there are only weeds growing everywhere. It seems that the whole palace has become their world. In "Wild Grass Spring", the word "spring" not only points to the season, but also deliberately indicates that only this growing wild grass is dotted with spring. The antithesis of these two sentences is neat, and the Road Palace is in sharp contrast with Jiang Feng and Weeds, which inspires readers to compare their present situation with history, and the feeling of ups and downs naturally resides in it.
Next, with a stroke of a pen, the real thing is imaginary, and the feelings are skillfully expressed with allusions. Allusions are natural and appropriate, rich and intriguing.
First of all, the nature of Yu Kaifu is Yu Xin, because there was an official who opened the government for three departments, so it was called. Yu Xin was a famous poet in Liang Dynasty. He was an official in Jinling in his early years. Together with his father Yu Jianwu, he was deeply appreciated by Liang Wudi. The so-called "father and son are forbidden to enter and leave the East Palace, and they will not give in to each other." It is natural for poets to recall the past from roads and palaces. Of course, it is easy to think of Yu Xin, which is in line with the scene in front of the author.
In addition, during Yu Xin's mission to the Northern Dynasties and the Western Wei Dynasty, Liang died in the Western Wei Dynasty and was forced to stay in Chang 'an, which was appropriate. After the Northern Zhou and Wei Dynasties, he was forced to be an official in the Zhou Dynasty and stayed in the Northern Dynasty, and finally died in the first year of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. He experienced several dynasty changes in the Northern Dynasties and witnessed the downfall of the last two dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. His life experience can best reflect the turmoil and changes of that era. In addition, he traveled in the north for a long time and often missed his old country and hometown. Most of his poems have "homesickness", and the famous "Jiangnan Fu" is a masterpiece in this respect. There are some similarities between the poet's life and that of Yu Xin. He experienced the "Anshi Rebellion" and witnessed the decline of the Tang Empire from its heyday. During the An Shi Rebellion, he left his hometown and took refuge in the south. After the rebellion, he couldn't return to Chang 'an for some time and was very homesick. Therefore, the poet used Yu Xin's allusions, both lamenting the rise and fall of the Six Dynasties in history and the decline and fall of the Tang Dynasty, which included his yearning for his hometown and his understanding of life experience. It is indeed appropriate, stable and rich in meaning. The word "sad" falls heavily and is worth pondering. Yu Xin once wrote "Fu of Sorrow", which is sad and moving. He said, "Being hurt is a mourning thing, but I feel sad ..." It is natural to name it "Mourning for the Past", which not only summarizes Yu Xin's life experience, but also expresses the author's deep sympathy for this predecessor poet, and is also a confession of his sad mood here and now.
This poem is an epic masterpiece with 20 crosses missing, rich connotations and profound feelings.
