Tang Libai

The purple mist is illuminated by sunlight, and the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain.

On the high cliff, it seems to be thousands of feet high, which makes people think that the Milky Way has fallen from heaven to earth.

Brief introduction of wanglushan waterfall

Two waterfalls at Lushan Mountain are two poems by Li Bai, a great poet in Tang Dynasty. One is a five-character ancient poem, and the other is a seven-character quatrain. These two poems closely follow the word "Wang" in the title, describe the scenery of Lushan Waterfall with incense burner peak, highlight the waterfall hanging like a bead curtain with the word "Hang", draw the waterfall vividly with highly exaggerated artistic techniques, and then describe the specific scene of the waterfall in detail, describing the flowing waterfall in a magnificent and colorful way, just like a vivid landscape painting. Among them, the second seven wonders has always been widely recited, and its first two sentences describe the magnificent scene of Lushan Waterfall, which is both hazy and magnificent; The last two sentences further describe the image and momentum of the waterfall with exaggerated metaphors and romantic imagination, which is the best word.

Translation of Looking at Lushan Waterfall

The censer peak gives birth to a purple mist under the sunlight, and a waterfall hangs in front of the mountain like white satin from a distance.

There seem to be several waterfalls in thousands of feet on the high cliff, which makes people think that the Milky Way has fallen from the sky to the ground.

Precautions:

Lushan Mountain: Located in the south of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, it is one of the famous mountains in China.

Incense burner: refers to the incense burner peak of Lushan Mountain.

Purple smoke: refers to clouds and water vapor that appear purple after being irradiated by sunlight.

Galaxy: Also known as Tianhe. The ancients called it a banded cluster of galaxies.

Nine days: nine days, describing the sky as extremely high.

Appreciate:

This poem is a seven-character quatrain. The incense burner in this poem, that is, the incense burner peak mentioned at the beginning of the poem, "in the northwest of Lushan Mountain, its peak is round, and the clouds gather and disperse, like Boshan incense burner" (music history "Taiping Huan Ji"). But when it comes to the poet Li Bai's pen, it becomes another scene: an indomitable incense burner, clouds of white smoke rising slowly in Ran Ran, ethereal between the green mountains and the blue sky, and turned into a purple cloud under the irradiation of the red sun. This not only makes the incense burner peak more beautiful, but also romantic, creating an unusual background for the unusual waterfall.

Then the poet turned his eyes to the waterfall on the mountain wall. "Before the waterfall hangs over the river", the first four words are the key points. "Hanging in front of the river" is the first image of "looking", and the waterfall is like a huge white practice hanging high between mountains and rivers. The word "hanging" is wonderful. It changes from dynamic to static, vividly showing the image of pouring waterfalls in Yuanwang.

The third sentence also describes the dynamics of the waterfall. "Flying three thousands of feet", stroke by stroke, every word is forceful. The word "fly" vividly depicts the scene of the waterfall spewing out; "Straight down" not only describes the steep mountain slope, but also shows the urgency of water flow. The sky is falling and unstoppable.

However, the poet was not satisfied enough, and wrote another sentence, "It is suspected that the Milky Way has set for nine days". He really wants to fall from the sky and surprise his soul. "Doubt is" is worth pondering. The poet clearly said it in a trance, and the readers know that it is not, but they all think that only in this way can it be more vivid and true. The secret lies in the image that has been bred in the poet's previous description.

The towering incense burner peak is hidden in the clouds. Looking at the waterfall in the distance is like flying down from the clouds and falling in the sky, which naturally associates with a galaxy falling from the sky. It can be seen that the metaphor of "doubt is that the Milky Way has settled for nine days" is very strange, but it does not appear out of thin air in the poem, but naturally comes out of the "description" of the image. It is exaggerated and natural, novel and true, thus arousing the resonance of the whole article, making the whole image more colorful, magnificent and magnificent, which not only left a deep impression on people, but also gave people room for imagination, showing Li Bai's artistic style of "Wan Li fell, but the trend was still strong at the end".

Wei Qingzhi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said: "The fifth word of the seven-character poem should ring. ..... the so-called Ringo is committed to the place. " This view seems particularly convincing in this poem. For example, the word "health" not only makes the incense burner peak "alive", but also vaguely shows the scene of smoke rising in Shan Ye. The word "hang" has been mentioned before, and the word "fall" is also wonderful. It vividly depicts the majestic momentum of sudden high altitude and huge flow. It is hard to imagine what this poem would look like if these three words were changed.
