Make an appreciative comment
"Two orioles singing green willows" triggered the topic of "keeping pace with the times", which witnessed the long-term existence of snow from the side, the ship came to anchor, and began "a line of egrets went up to the sky", which also explained the event of going out of the mountain after learning. One day in the water, people will travel by boat, which means they will cross the world with noble people. "The window contains thousands of autumn snows in Xiling" means "study hard in a cold window" and "cultivate immortality" and also accepts the topic of "keeping pace with the times". And "Wu Dong's Ship" points out the key points of the whole article, and the gratitude is beyond words. All the images and artistic conception collide and reverberate there organically. Everything is unforgettable.
The whole poem depicts the author's home as the event center. The time is in late June, spring and early summer. Pairs of orioles are singing love songs on the willow beside their home, which indicates that something will happen. Sure enough, all the author's efforts were not in vain. A ship will pick up the author, and a group of nobles will be officials together. The background of the incident is very clear.
Time, events, places, plots and stories are well expressed. And mutual confirmation, more unlimited imagination. Feeling, feeling and gratitude have also injected the greatest ideal of human life, "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and calming the world". It also reflects the life realm of cultural people who are "poor and immune to the world". On the surface, it seems to write about beautiful scenery, but in fact it has entrusted the author's interest and sentiment at this moment.
