【Su Ci Appreciation 14】
Huanxi sand, drizzle and slanting wind make dawn cold
Su shi
On December 24 of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Uncle Liu Qian traveled to Nanshan from Sizhou
The drizzle and the slanting wind make the dawn cold, and the light smoke is sparse and the willows are beautiful and the beach is clear. Entering Huai Qingluo is gradually long.
The snow foam milk flower floats in the afternoon cup, and the artemisia shoots try the spring plate. The taste of the world is refreshing.

【Analysis】
This is a poem that describes the scenery in chronological order. The upper part of the word writes about the scene of early spring, and the next part of the writer and his fellow travelers enjoy the flavor of a picnic with tea when they visit the mountains. The work is full of spring breath and full of vitality, reflecting the author's love for real life and the spirit of expansiveness.
The upper piece of the word writes the landscape along the way. "The drizzle and the slanting wind make the dawn cold, and the light smoke is sparse and the willows are beautiful and the beach is clear." The first two sentences of this poem say that the drizzle and the wind are slightly cold. The faint smoke and the sparse willow trees on the beach seem to be showing their grace on the beach after the sunny day.
The first sentence is written in the early morning, the wind and rain are thin, and the cold invades, which is very unbearable in the remnant of winter, but Dongpo only uses the word "as Xiaohan", showing an attitude of not caring much. The second sentence writes about the scenery of the afternoon: the rain is gradually collecting, the smoke and clouds are faint, the river beach is sparse and willowy, and it is full of sunshine. It's like a distant landscape picture. The word "flattery" can especially convey the author's joyful heart. The author perceives the spring tide in the germination from the sparse willows swaying in the light clouds and sunny days. Grasping the new opportunity of objects in the twilight of the dead winter is exactly the manifestation of Dongpo Yihuai's heroic spirit and the mastery of the spiritual realm.
"It's getting long and long into Huai Qingluo." The third sentence is to say that when you enter Huai Qingluo in front of you, it seems that you are gradually seeing the vastness and boundlessness.
The concluding sentence of the last film is very deep, and the knot is far away. The "Qingluo" in the sentence, that is, "Luojian", originates in Hefei, flows north to Huaiyuan and joins Huaishui, and is not close to Sizhou (Song Zhi is in Linhuai), which is not within the reach of the eye. So why is Qingluo mentioned in the word? This is a kind of imaginary brushwork. The author thinks of the green Luojian upstream from the Huaishui in front of him, and when it merges into the turbidity Huai, it becomes chaotic and vast. Obviously, it is not a simple description of the scenery here, but contains the meaning of the hidden forest spring that "the water in the mountain spring is clear, and the water is turbid in the mountain spring".
The next film is a reproduction of the writer's tea picnic and cheerful mood during the tour. In two sentences, the author grasps two characteristic things to describe: a milky white fragrant tea and a plate of emerald spring vegetables. The two complement each other, and there is a strong festive atmosphere and alluring power. "Snow foam" milky flowers, like white bubbles that float up during sencha. Describing the whiteness of brown with snow and milk is both a metaphor and an exaggeration, and the image is distinct. Afternoon lamp, refers to afternoon tea. This sentence can be said to be a visual depiction of the tea ceremony of the Song people. "Artemisia shoots", that is, knotweed buds and artemisia stems, this is the season of the beginning of spring. In the old custom, at the beginning of spring, relatives and friends were given fresh spring vegetables, fruits, cakes, etc., which were called "spring plates". (蓼蓉liǎo róng蓼菜的苗)
These two sentences vividly describe the delicious color of tea and fresh vegetables, so that readers can appreciate the joy and comfort of the lyricist when tasting tea. This technique of casting the image of life into an artistic image shows the poet's elegant aesthetic interest and expansive attitude towards life. "The taste of the world is pure joy", this is a philosophical proposition, the end of the word, but it is natural, there is a wonderful interest in the whole article, adding joy and poetry to the whole article.
In this poem, in the vivid picture of beautiful colors and open realms, it embodies the author's clear and elegant aesthetic taste and attitude to life, giving people the enjoyment of beauty and endless reverie.
