Climbing Yueyang Tower (1) Through the impression of climbing the tower, the poet expressed his feelings of homesickness, lamenting the current situation, infinite grief and sorrow.

The second capital of "Climbing Yueyang Tower" is a seven-character poem. The first one is the poet's opening work of Yueyang Tower, so it is carefully crafted and serious. In the first part, the geographical location of Yueyang Tower was written, and the Yueyang Tower was grandly launched from a macro perspective with Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River as the background.

Poems' couplets are transformed from static and soothing scenery descriptions to strong lyricism. As if it were a variation of music, these two poems seem to repeat the above theme, but their styles are quite different. After gaining momentum in front, the poet finally issued the loudest and strongest cry in the way of near-direct call: "Wan Li is still far away from the tour, and it is more difficult to rely on danger for more than three years." These two poems express the resentment in the heart of a subjugated minister.

The last couplet of the poem, Gu Ying's self-pity, concludes the whole article with infinite sadness. At this time, the poet has reached the age of forty, and he has reached the age of no doubt, so he said "hoary head"; Not to mention hurting today, but to "hang the past" is implicit and meaningful; "Wind and frost" clearly refers to natural things, which is a metaphor for social reality and a pun; And "Old Mu Cangbo" is a coat that wraps the poet's image, and it is infinitely sad and hateful.

Creation background of "Climbing Yueyang Tower"

In April of the second year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty (1127), Jin Bing attacked Kaifeng and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. At that time, Chen Yuyi was relegated to Chen Liu (now southeast of Kaifeng, Henan Province) as a small official in charge of wine tax, and naturally joined the ranks of fleeing refugees, traveling south to Hunan, wandering around Hunan and being displaced. He went into exile in Dongting Lake, climbed Yueyang Tower several times, grieved over state affairs with his friends, drank wine to drown his sorrows, and wrote several poems to remember his events, including these two "Climbing Yueyang Tower".

The first part of "Climbing Yueyang Tower"-Chen Yuyi

The Dongjiang River in Dongting is west, and the curtain is still and the sunset is late.

When boarding Wu and Shu, you will migrate to the lake and the mountains.

It's still a long way to go for a trip to Wan Li, and it's more difficult than three years.

In the ancient wind and frost, the old Mu Cangbo is infinitely sad.
