1. Reminiscing about Shandong brother Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty) on September 9th
I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my family even more during the festive season.
I know from afar that my brothers have climbed to a high place, and there is one less person planting dogwood trees everywhere.
Appreciation: "Remembering Shandong Brothers on September 9th" is one of the famous poems by Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. This poem expresses the homesickness of a wanderer. The poem focuses closely on the title at the beginning, describing the loneliness and desolation of life in a foreign land. Therefore, I miss my hometown and people all the time, and when I encounter a good festival, I miss you even more. Then the poem jumps to write about the brothers far away in their hometown. When they climb high according to the custom of Double Ninth Festival, they are also missing themselves.
2. Climbing the Mountain in Nine Days (Tang Dynasty) Du Mu
The wild geese are flying in the autumn shadow of Jianghan, and they are carrying pots with guests on the green microgreens. It's rare to smile in this world, and I will return with my head full of chrysanthemums.
But if you are going to be drunk to celebrate the festival, you don’t have to come to hate the sunset. This has been the case throughout the ages. Why should Niu Shan be alone in his clothes?
Appreciation: "Climbing the Mountain in Nine Days" is selected from "Annotations to the Collected Poems of Fan Chuan" and is the work of Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. This poem uses a broad-minded (even decadent) meaning to dispel the sorrow of life's worries and the uncertainty of life and death. The first two sentences convey high spirits and express high sentiments in high autumn, which shows the style of a famous scholar. Three or four sentences are quoted from ancient celebrities Zhuang Zhou and Tao Qian as explanations. The last four sentences bluntly say that drinking to relieve worries and living in an open-minded manner do not worry about life, injury or death. The style of this poem is both refreshing and vigorous, but also thoughtful and sad, which makes people feel frustrated and swaying when reading it.
3. On the 9th day of the 9th month in Shuzhong (Tang Dynasty) Wang Bo
On the 9th day of the ninth lunar month at Wangxiang Terrace, he served a cup to send guests away from a foreign land.
Human sentiment is tired of the suffering in the south. How about the swan geese coming from the north?
Appreciation: "Nine Days in Sichuan" is a poem by the poet Wang Bo. In order to express his feelings of missing his relatives during the festive season, he climbed high for nine days and looked at his hometown in the distance. He saw off guests among the guests and was doubly sad. Suddenly he saw a pair of swan geese flying from the north. Come, I couldn't help but blurt out the question, I thought I couldn't return to the north, why did you come south again? This formed a strong contrast and pushed the homesickness to the peak. Although the question is unreasonable, it highlights the sincerity of feelings and gives people a strong infection.
