Moonlit Night on the Spring River is a seven-character long ballad written by Zhang Ruoxu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Forty-seven volumes of Yuefu Poetry collected seven articles of Moonlit Night on a Spring River, including two by Emperor Yangdi. Zhang Ruoxu's poem, written for a quasi-topic, is different from the original tune.
This poem follows the old theme of Chen Sui's Yuefu, uses the beautiful pen with rich life breath, takes the river as the scene and the moon as the main body, and depicts a beautiful, distant and confusing moonlight map on the riverside.
It expresses the sincere and touching parting feelings of wandering women and the philosophical feelings of life, breaks through the narrow world of Liang Chen Gong's style poems, shows a unique sense of the universe, and creates a deep, vast and quiet artistic realm.
The whole poem * * * 36 sentences, with a rhyme change every four sentences, integrates poetic sentiment, artistic conception and philosophy, with empty and bright artistic conception, strange imagination, natural and meaningful language and melodious rhythm, which has been sung by literati in past dynasties and praised by Wen Yiduo as "the poem in the poem, the peak on the peak".
