[Tang] Laihu
Thousands of shapes and phenomena are still empty, and the mountains reflecting the water are repeated.
The infinite dry seedlings are dying, and the leisurely place makes strange peaks.
Appreciation of works
Laihu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, was born in Yuzhang (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province). Most of his poems are about the feeling of wandering and desperation, as well as ridicule the powerful and cynical. At the beginning of this poem, I focus on the description of the image and posture of "Xia Yun". It reflects on the water surface and is hidden in the hills. The seedlings on the field are scorched and dying, but they are leisurely and carefree, changing into a strange peak that has nothing to do with the world.
Most of the good poems in ancient and modern times are characterized by clarity and readability. It is not a shallow beach where you can see the bottom, nor is it a mess of obscure quagmire, but it provides clues of association and hints the scope of imagination, allowing readers to supplement and enrich the image of the poem with their own aesthetic experience. Is this poem sympathetic to farmers who are trapped in a long drought? Is it an excuse to ridicule those who live in vital resources and do not care about the labor of the people? Is it satirizing the rulers with empty words? Or prick people in life who pay lip service to others? Readers may wish to have different opinions.
Introduction to Laihu
Laihu (?-883), that is, Lai Peng (written as Laihu in "All Tang Poems" and " Hospital Certificate Template "), a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was born in Yuzhang (now Nanchang, Jiangxi). According to legend, Laipeng's family lived beside Xu Ruzi Pavilion in the East Lake of Nanchang. His family was poor and he worked in poetry. He once called himself a "township school official" and lived in seclusion in the mountains. His teacher Han Liu was a writer, and he was very talented during the period of Dazhong (847-860) and Xiantong (860-874). He was promoted to Jinshi and failed in many trials. Around the fifth year of Qianfu (878), Wei Xiu, an observer from Fujian, called him in The shogunate loved his talents and wanted to accept him as his son-in-law, but failed. In the first year of Guangming (880), after the Huang Chao uprising army captured Chang'an, Peng avoided traveling to Jingxiang.
