Dengliu Prefecture City Tower sent Zhangting to seal the four states

Dengliu Prefecture City Tower sent Zhangting to seal the four states

[Tang] Liu Zongyuan

The high-rise buildings in the city are connected to the great wilderness, and the sea and sky are worried and confused

The wind was fluttering with hibiscus water, and the dense rain was obliquely invading the wall

The ridge trees are heavily shaded, and the river flows like nine ileums

A total of 100 Yue tattoos, like a self-music book lagging in a township

Translations

Ascending to the tall building, what you can see is a desolate and cold vast sand field, like the sea of sorrow arising.

The rapid wind stirred the lotus flowers in the water, and the torrential rain struck, hitting the wall full of coixes.

Cascading distant mountains obscure the distant view, and the crooked willow river is like my intestines.

Let's go together to this far and far wilderness, how can the music book be isolated, and the people are on their own.

Appreciation

This lyric poem is full of comparison, like the joy, the scene blends, poignant and moving.

One or two sentences first write down what you see and feel when you go upstairs. The "tall" character of "high building on the city" shows the urgent mood of the poet as soon as he arrived in Liuzhou and could not wait to climb the city tower to look at his friends. The higher you stand, the farther you look, the more you think. Because the five of them were persecuted together, their fates were closely related, their friendship was sincere, and although they were on opposite sides, they could not help themselves. "Picking up the Great Desolation" Write what you see, that liuzhou city is surrounded by desolate and remote places, and write about the hardships of their place. Looking to the extreme, the sea and sky meet each other, a vast expanse. On the one hand, it is written that the places that the four of them despise are all coastal places, and on the other hand, it also implies that their "melancholy" is like "sea and sky", which is constantly vast. This is written from the real and the virtual.

Three or four sentences, "The wind is chaotic and the hibiscus water is fluttering, and the dense rain is obliquely invading the wall of the lily", which is written about what is seen up close. However, it is a close-up view, and it is seen realistically, so it is written meticulously. As far as depicting the scene of the storm is concerned, this is the "fu" pen, and the endowment is also Bixing. Qu Yuan's "Leaving the Sorrow" has a cloud: "The making of the lotus is thought to be clothed, and the collection of hibiscus is thought to be a dress." I don't know that he is also dead, but he still loves his faith. Youyun: "Pick up the roots of the wood to knot the grass, and run through the fallen buds of the coix; the gui of the fungus is sewn with the silk, and the rope of the rope." The Great Cultivation of the Dharma is not obeyed by the world. "Here, hibiscus and coix are symbolizing the beauty and purity of personality. Climbing the castle tower and looking closer, the hibiscus and coix were deliberately plucked from among those who saw it, obviously their situation in the storm made the poet's heart tremble. The wind is alarmed, the rain is dense, the wind is chaotic, and the invasion is oblique, which shows that the poet's feelings are projected on objective things. Hibiscus out of the water, why hinder the wind, and the wind is still chaotic; the lily covers the wall, the rain is difficult to invade, and the dense rain should be obliquely invaded. This can't help but make the poet associate, full of sorrow. Here, the love in the scene, the meaning in the environment, the bixing in the endowment, is like salt in the water, and there is no trace.

Write a vision in five or six sentences. It is also "endowed" and has both "ratio" and "xing". Try to see the layers of stacked forests, which are realistic of the scenery in the southwest region, and don't they also symbolize the layers of encirclement and imprisonment of stubborn forces? Isn't the meandering and circling of the river also reminiscent of the twists and turns of the author's life path and future? Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty said that after his punishment, he "took nine times a day", describing his depression; Sheng Tang Wang's "Climbing the Stork and Bird Building" "wants to be poor and go to a higher level", showing a heroic spirit. This poem is more developed. Although the ridge trees are heavily shaded, because of the high and far-reaching, they can still overcome the obstacles, look at thousands of miles, and the line of sight is not covered, which is answered from the description of the nine rivers in the next sentence. Despite the twists and turns of the river, the river is rushing forward after all, which is visible from the word "flow". Therefore, the two sentences reflect that the author has encountered many obstacles and setbacks, still has the indomitable will to break through the cage, and seiko's duality is both somber and bold, and the artistic conception is far-reaching.

The last two sentences originated from the previous union, in addition to showing the unseen pity of caring for the situation of friends, there is a deeper meaning: looking away, it is natural to think of mutual visits or mutual audio questions; while looking at the land, the mountains overlap, looking at the waterway, the rivers are curved, not to say that mutual visits are not easy, that is, mutual communication, it is also very difficult. This naturally comes down to "sound book lag in Ichigo". However, it ends like this, the text is shallower, and the tone is straighter. The author's cleverness. It lies in the fact that he first used a pad of "a hundred Cantonese tattoos" and then used "Juzi" to turn around, and then it came down to "music book stagnation in a township", and he received a depressed artistic effect. The sentence "Gonglai" not only corresponds to the "great wilderness" in the first sentence, but also unifies the "Liuzhou" and "Zhang, Ting, Feng, and Lianzhou" in the title. Being relegated to the Great Wasteland together was painful enough, and they were still isolated from each other, and even the music book could not be delivered. The afterglow is endless, and the god of the word "send" in the title is also transmitted from this song. It can be seen that the poet uses the pen.

The whole poem uses the technique of "the ratio of endowment to the middle", through the description of the objects in the foreground, the objects are used to express the excitement, and the evil forces are used as "shocking winds" and "dense rain", with the intention of attacking political enemies; With the "ridge tree" heavy, "river flow" echo more difficult than the difficulty of looking at the distance and the pain of longing, the feeling of mourning and sorrow overflowing into words, and the feeling of depression and frustration is shocking!

Creative background

The poem was composed in the autumn of 815 AD (Emperor Xianzong of Tang and the tenth year) in Liuzhou. Liu Zongyuan, along with Han Tae, Han Ye, Chen Chen, and Liu Yuxi, were all belittled for participating in the Yongzhen Reform Movement led by Wang Shuwen. In the tenth year of Yuan He, Liu Zongyuan and others were summoned to the Capital Division as usual, and were once again demoted to the bianzhou assassin history. After the poet arrived in Liuzhou, when he ascended the building, he could not help but have mixed feelings in the face of foreign customs and objects, and wrote this poem.
