The whole poem conveys feelings with scenery and is reasonable from feelings. With vivid images such as morning dew is easy to dry, Qiu Lai leaves fall, and a hundred rivers flow to the east, it entrusts the philosophy of life that "if a teenager doesn't work hard, the boss will be sad". With the help of the morning dew, the flowers fall in autumn, and the running water goes east and does not return, it sighs that time flies and life is short, encouraging people to firmly grasp the life that flies with time and make efforts to use it. Its emotional tone is positive. Its main idea is embodied in the last two sentences, but the poet's thoughts are not simply expressed, but concrete images rich in aesthetic feeling are extracted from the real world and taught in aesthetics.
Yuefu is a royal musical organ established since the Qin Dynasty. It not only sings the poems of literati, but also undertakes the task of collecting folk songs. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a large number of poems were collected from the people, which were rich in content and wide in subject matter. This poem is one of Han Yuefu's poems. Long-line songs refer to freestyle singing with "long singing" as the tune.
"Long Songs" In the Qingqing Garden, sunflowers are exposed to the sun.
Spring fills the earth with hope, and everything presents a scene of prosperity.
I am always afraid that when the cold autumn comes, the trees in Ye Er will turn yellow and the grass will wither.
The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?
A lazy youth, a lousy age.
Sunflowers in the garden are lush, and Ran Ran rises in the glittering and translucent morning sun.
Spring scatters hope all over the earth, and everything shows prosperity.
I am always afraid that the cold autumn will come, the leaves will turn yellow and the grass will wither.
When can a hundred rivers run to the sea and return to the west?
If young people don't work hard in time, they will only regret it for a lifetime when they are old.
The appreciation of this poem begins with "Sunflowers in the Garden", and then the water flows to the sea, never to return, which means that time is like running water, never to return. Finally, we should persuade people to cherish their youth and work hard, and don't wait until they are old to regret it. This poem uses things to express meaning. First, it uses the sunflower in the garden as a metaphor. "Green" means it is flourishing. In fact, under the sunshine and rain in the whole spring, everything is scrambling to grow. Because they are all afraid that autumn is coming, they all know that autumn wind will wither a hundred herbs. The rhythm of life in nature is like this, and so is life. If a person doesn't work hard when he is in a good time, it will be too late to regret when he is old. This poem thinks that life is fleeting from the beautiful scenery of youth in front of us, and encourages young people to cherish time, make warnings and inspire people to forge ahead.
This is a song about life. Singing life begins with the sunflower in the garden, which is called "making things interesting" in writing, that is, "saying something else first causes the words to be sung". In the spring morning, the sunflower in the garden is slim and graceful, with dew rolling on the green leaves, shining in the early morning sun, like a teenager full of youthful vitality. The poet extended from the vigorous growth of sunflowers in the garden and wrote about the whole nature. Because of the sunshine and rain in spring, everything shines with the brilliance of life, and everywhere is full of vitality and prosperity. These four sentences, literally, are praises to spring, but in fact, they are comparisons between things and people, and they are praises to the most precious thing in life-youth. Life is full of youthful vitality, just like spring is beautiful all year round. In this way, there is a metaphorical meaning in writing, that is, the so-called "Xing and Bi".
The time sequence of nature is constantly changing. In a blink of an eye, spring arrived in Qiu Lai. Sunflowers and everything in the garden experienced the growth of spring and the long summer. In autumn, they mature, and the once radiant leaves become brown and withered, losing their vitality. Life is the same, from the growth of youth to the death of old age, we have to go through a metabolic process. This is an immutable law of nature. The poet expressed his fleeting treasure of "youth" with "always afraid of autumn festivals", and one of the words "fear" showed that people were powerless to the laws of nature, and the withering of youth was inevitable. Then from the change of time series to the endless time and infinite space of the universe. Time is like a river that dies in the east, and it will never return. From the time scale, people's life cannot be revived after old age. In the face of this eternal nature, life is like morning dew on leaves, which dries at the sight of sunshine, just like the leaves of green sunflowers wither in autumn wind. Poetry turns from exploring the universe to thinking about the value of life, and finally comes to the conclusion that "young people don't work hard, but old disciples are sad", ending the whole poem. This reasoning process is not written literally. Readers can follow the trajectory of the poet's thinking and make up for it with their own life experiences: everything in nature has a process of flowering and bearing fruit; Life is also a process in which teenagers work hard and old people achieve something. Everything in nature, as long as there is sunshine and rain, can bear fruit in autumn, but people are different; You can't succeed without your own efforts. Everything withers in autumn, but it realizes the value of life, so it is not sad; People, on the other hand, are unsuccessful because they are "young and don't work hard", which is equivalent to walking around in vain. Mobilizing readers to think is undoubtedly better than replacing readers to think. It is precisely because of this that this poem avoids the life sermon that is easy to be boring, and makes the final epigram look vigorous, profound and implicit, like Hong Zhong's sonorous voice, which deeply touches the readers' hearts. The word "disciple" at the end of the sentence is meaningful: first, it says that the boss has accomplished nothing and life is a waste; Second, waking up in old age will not help, but there is no way, which is intended to emphasize the need to work hard in time.
