Appreciation of "Zhuzhi Ci: Autumn Grass at the Twelve Peaks"

Zhuzhi Ci was originally a folk song, mostly written by people in the Tang Dynasty to express the tenderness of children, or the thoughts of people away from home. Other than the above, it was written by later generations. In addition to the theme, they often sing about customs and human feelings. This poem about bamboo branches is the author's reflections on his journey while boating through the Qutang Gorge. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River have been famous for their desolation and coldness since ancient times. "The Badong Three Gorges Wu Gorge is long, and the apes cry three times and shed tears on their clothes" ("Shui Jing Zhu"). The author was passing through the gorge in a boat at this time. He saw the autumn grass was deserted, the cold moon was in the sky, the cold smoke was lingering, and the gorge was deep and fast, which made people feel frightened and frightened. The author "tells the truth" here breaks out of the stereotypes of his predecessors. Written in this way, the danger of the Qutang Gorge is even more obvious. The "heart-breaking" is not the sad sound of the ape, but the eerie and terrifying river gorge. The danger of the river gorge is the real reason for the "heart-breaking".
