How to write a poem about nostalgia?
From a young age, we will recite Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts", and when we are older, we will also be moved by "Nostalgia" in the afterglow. Nostalgia is the sorrow of homesickness, which is probably the subject of the most chanted by poets.
Ancient readers often traveled or studied or sought officials, and it was inevitable that they would leave their hometowns, and this homesickness was often expressed in the form of poetry. Today, although communication and transportation are very convenient, people go further for various reasons. And a lot of the leaves that go out no longer fall back to the roots, and homesickness has become an eternal pain.
It is not difficult to create nostalgic poems, let's first look at a few related works of the ancients, and analyze how poets express nostalgia.

1. The King of the Southern and Northern Dynasties praised "Crossing the River north"
The autumn wind blows the leaves of wood, and it is like a cave garden wave. Changshan Lindai County, pavilion barrier around the Yellow River. The heart is sad and the song is sung. Bo Twilight marched on the horse, and lost the way to the North Mountain.
The first four sentences write the scene, explaining the time and place. The author first writes the season, and the autumn wind blows the leaves. Re-write the location: Changshan Lindai County, pavilion barrier around the Yellow River.
Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs, Lady Xiang" has a saying: "The autumn wind is blowing in the wind, and the dongting waves are under the leaves of the wood." The autumn wind and leaves in the north reminded the poet of the cave court in the south, but now people in Changshan, what they see in front of them is the Yellow River in a foreign land. Pavilion barrier refers to the military fortifications along the Yellow River.
During the Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao set up Dai Commandery (代郡), in the area of present-day Wei County, Hebei Province. The poet Wang Zhen (c. 513–576), courtesy name Ziyuan, was a ren official during the reign of Emperor Yuan of Liang. After the Western Wei invasion of Jiangling that year, Wang Bao was detained and did not return to the south.
This poem is the work of his homesickness in the north.
The third lyrical, sad and different music, intestinal broken long head song. Hearing the music and songs of other places, I couldn't help but be "sad" and "gut broken". The content of Longtou Song is wandering homesickness, the name of the Song of Lefu, which belongs to the "Liang Drum Horn Horizontal Blowing Song".
In the tail link, "losing the way" originally refers to getting lost, and it is also a confusion about the future. After the Wuhu Chaohua, the crown crossed south, and the north was ruled by a foreign race, and Wang Bao was detained and never returned to the south.
2. Sui Dynasty Jiang Zong "Returning Yangzhou to Yangzhou on September 9 in Chang'an
The heart passes away from the south, and the form comes with the northern geese. The chrysanthemum under the fence of the hometown has several flowers blooming today.
After reading This poem by General Manager Jiang, it is estimated that many friends will remember Wang Wei's "Miscellaneous Poems":
When a king comes from his hometown, he should know about his hometown. In front of the window of the coming day, the cold plum is not flowering?
The last two sentences are the same machine, and it can be seen that Wang Weishi may have used this poem by Jiang Zong.
Jiang Zong's "Returning Yangzhou to Yangzhou on September 9 in Chang'an rhymes with weishan pavilions", starting with a battle, uses two image contrasts: south clouds and north geese. The heart yearns for the south, and man is on his way back from the north to the south. These two sentences of General Manager Jiang explained the word "also" in the title. The homesickness hidden in the sentence is actually similar to Wang Bao's "Autumn wind blows wooden leaves, still like Dongting Wave", but Wang Bao expresses it more cleverly. Jiang Zong fictionalized the events, and Wang Zhenshi wrote scenes.
The homesickness of the last two sentences is written only from one place, only from the chrysanthemum under the fence, and this writing method was learned by Wang Wei: In front of the window of the coming day, Han Mei is not a flower.
When Chen Shubao was in charge, Jiang Zong was the prime minister of the Chen Dynasty, and it is said that this guy ignored government affairs, drank and wrote poetry with the Hou Lord every day, and went north with Chen Shubao after the fall of the Chen Dynasty.
Jiang Zong's reputation in history is not good, and his original poems are beautiful and colorful, but after the fall of the country, there are sometimes sad sounds. This poem is the work of this time.
3. Tang Dynasty Wang Wei's "September 9Th Remembrance of Shandong Brothers"
Alone in a foreign land for strangers, every festive season to think of relatives. The Haruka brothers ascended to the heights, and there was one less person planted everywhere.
Wang Wei's starting sentence is lyrical: alone in a foreign land for strangers, every festive season to think of relatives. Bluntly speaking out that he misses his relatives in other places.
The last two sentences are written from the opposite side, not to say that they are homesick, but to say that when the brothers ascend to the heights, they will think of me Wang Wei.
4. Tang Dynasty Liu Soap's "Brigade Ci Shuo Fang"
The guest house and the state have been ten frosts, and the heart remembers Xianyang day and night. For no reason, it crosses the mulberry dry water, but looks forward to the state is the hometown.
Liu Soap's poem is also very distinctive, for the sake of career and future, the poet has been in Hezhou for ten years, and now when he wants to leave, he regards his hometown as his hometown.
This kind of feeling written in Liu Soap's poem is estimated to be more common today. After many people went to the big cities such as The North, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, some people settled down after some hard work, and naturally regarded other towns as their homes for a long time.
Others have been drifting, but some of them are not comfortable when they return home.
5. Song Dynasty Wang Anshi's "Berthing Boat Guazhou"
Between the waters of Jingkou Guazhou, Zhongshan is only separated by a few heavy mountains. Spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River, when will the bright moon shine on me?
Wang Anshi (1021-1086), a native of Jiangxi, lived in Jinling after he resigned, so he used the word "also" when he missed the former residence of Jinling, which can be regarded as a second hometown.
Between Yingying and Shui, Jingkou and Guazhou are opposite on both sides of the Yangtze River, and Zhongshan in Jinling is not too far away, but I don't know when I can go back again.
The poem uses three place names: Jingkou, Guazhou, and Zhongshan, the first two are in front of you, but they are foreign lands, and the latter one is far away, which is his home.
6. Song Liuyong's "Eight Voices of Ganzhou"
On Xiao Xiao twilight rain sprinkled on the river sky, a wash of autumn. The frost and wind are tight, the Guanhe river is cold, and the building is left behind. It is a place where the red decays and the green is reduced, and the radial things are rested. Only the water of the Yangtze River flows east without words. I can't bear to climb high and go far, look at my hometown, and it is difficult to return to my hometown. Sighing at the trail of years, what is the bitter drowning? Think of a beautiful person, look at the makeup building, mistake a few times, and the skyline knows the boat. Knowing me, leaning on the railing, I am frowning!
This is the nostalgia in Liu Yong's words, and the length is longer. The upper part writes the scene, the lower part is lyrical. In the works of nostalgia, we should pay special attention to the choice of poets' imagery, such as twilight rain, clear autumn, frost wind, residual photos, Guanhe, Guizhou, Makeup Building, Gangan, River Water... In fact, being able to combine these words together is a good nostalgic poem.
Some of the above nostalgic poems are direct narrative lyrics, such as the guest house and the state has been ten frosts, and the lonely in a foreign land is a stranger. Some of the opening sentences write scenes: autumn wind blows wood leaves, And Jingkou Guazhou is a water room. There are also scenes that blend: the heart passes away from the south, and the form comes with the northern geese.
The poet is also good at using contrasts, with geographical contrasts: Guazhou vs Zhongshan; Andzhou vs Xianyang; Foreign Lands vs Ascending Places, One Hometown and One Other Place. Another example is the contrast of scenery: South Cloud vs North Goose, Dongting vs Yellow River.
In addition, some allusions can also be used: such as Zhang Han Autumn Wind Perch, Wang Yue denglou and so on.
Earlier, when admiring Liu Yongzi, Lao Jie said that he should learn to choose some commonly used images, and adding the action of connecting these images is a good nostalgic poem.
For example, in the old street of their own study, a poem:
The breeze and the bright moon accompany the lonely boat, the geese pass through the middle of the sky, the perch soup leads to the dream, and the canopy window is speechless.
LinjiangXian a song, using other places to compare hometowns:
How many times have guests been sent away from the song tent to drink the long pavilion? And now fold the willow to send the king. Autumn is not necessary, straight to the memory of the soup? When I returned, the taste of emotion was reduced, and the water of Shaoguang was frightening. The smoke of the rivers and lakes has long been fluttering. Although the moon is good in his hometown, it is like his hometown Ming.
