Appreciation 1

Red bean fruit is bright red, pea-shaped and slightly flat, and it is produced in Lingnan area. Legend has it that in ancient times, a woman learned that her husband had died in a foreign country and cried under a red bean tree, turning it into red beans. So people call red beans acacia. For a long time, red beans have become a symbol of love for lovers and friends.

In the first two sentences, the meaning of acacia is highlighted by red beans. "Southland" refers to both the origin of red beans and the place where the poet misses his friends. "flushing on your southland branches", a very common question, shows infinite love for red beans. The poet pays attention to the growth of red beans after the severe winter, that is, he expresses his concern for his friends' parting situation and expresses his blessings to them. The third sentence suggests that distant friends should cherish their friendship by sending a message to the other party to pick more red beans. Although it is a message from a friend, it also expresses the poet's treasure of friendship. In particular, the word "duo" expresses the poet's emotional and passionate feelings. The ending question echoes the first sentence "Red Bean", and the clever use of red bean, also known as Acacia, plays a pun effect and answers the reason why it is "take home an armful, for my sake".

This poem is concise in language and exquisite in structure, and every sentence revolves around what is sung, making the love of acacia lingering. The beautiful legend attached to red beans leaves readers endless room for imagination.

Appreciation 2

The famous quatrains in the Tang Dynasty are widely spread by musicians, and Wang Wei's Acacia is one of the most famous works. According to Tang Fan Dai's "Friends of Yunxi", after the Anshi Rebellion, Li Guinian, a famous singer, lived in the south of the Yangtze River. "He once interviewed an envoy in Xiangzhong and sang at a banquet:' when those red berries come in springtime, Qiu Lai sent a few branches. I'll give you more picks, as a symbol of our love.' ..... Song Que, we are all looking forward to it. Fortunately, it is sad. "Accordingly, when we know that this poem was written before the Anshi Rebellion.

This is a poem that sends lovesickness by chanting things. One is entitled "A Gift to Li Guinian from the River", which shows that it is an expression of feelings for friends. The sentence "when those red berries come in springtime" is inspired by things. Although the language is simple, it is full of imagination-the south is also the place where friends are, and when you think of red beans, you think of friends. The second sentence "flushing on your southland branches" sends a message with questions, which connects nature. This kind of question is meaningful. In the open, I asked how many red beans were sent, but in the dark, I was talking about how much I missed. The third sentence "take home an armful, for my sake" is still talking with friends. A diligent exhortation is a hint of cherishing friendship. On the surface, it seems to tell friends not to forget their lovesickness, but in the back, it deeply implies their own lovesickness. Don't say you miss yourself, but tell others to miss you, which adds another weight to your lovesickness.

The last sentence "as a symbol of our love" is an explanation of the previous sentence "Pick more". This sentence is natural but ingenious. On the one hand, it retaliates the poem title, "Acacia" and corresponds to the first sentence "Red Bean" (red bean alias Acacia), which has the beauty of twists and turns and repeated sighs, and is also related to Acacia, punning and moving. In addition, the two adverbs of degree "Duo" and "Zui" accurately express the poet's unrestrained enthusiasm.

This poem skillfully uses the symbolic meaning of red beans to euphemistically and implicitly express the deep love for acacia. The whole poem is elegant, full of thoughts, simple and unpretentious language, and harmonious and feminine rhythm.
