Fourth, the creative background.

During Yongzhenyuan period, Liu Yuxi was demoted to Lianzhou secretariat, went to Jiangling, and later demoted to Langzhou Sima. On one occasion, when he returned to Beijing on a imperial edict, he was demoted to the state secretariat for "visiting the customs" and was later appointed as the state secretariat. Instead of sinking, he faced the changes in the world with a positive and optimistic attitude. This poem expresses his feelings. Some scholars believe that this poem was written by the author when he was relegated to Kuizhou in the spring of the second year of Changqing (AD 822).

Verb (abbreviation of verb) appreciation

"The Yellow River in Wan Li twists and turns, and stormy waves are blowing from the horizon". See Tang Yuxi's Langtaosha. Tao: Rinse with water. Go shake it. From: From. There are countless grits in the Yellow River. As the Yellow River flows through Wan Li, it comes here from the ends of the earth after being washed by waves and blown by strong winds. The poet praised the yellow sand in Wan Li of the Yellow River and their indomitable character. When we quote, we can use its symbolic meaning to praise things or people with the same characteristics.

"Now go directly to the Milky Way, to Penny and the Weaver Girl's house." Zhang Qian's allusion to finding Heyuan for Emperor Wu and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl across the Milky Way was adopted, and he galloped through his imagination, expressing that he would face the stormy waves and the yellow sand in Wan Li and go upstream until he reached the home of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which showed the poet's heroic spirit.

This poem is easy to understand and is often read by children. When Liu Yuxi writes poems, he often expresses his feelings by borrowing things. Cowherd and Weaver Girl are the names of the stars in the sky, similar to North Korea, which is far away from him. Liu Yuxi was originally in a high position, but the poet's social ideal of benefiting his life was treated unfairly because of his slanderous remarks and will never change. Liu Yuxi is eager to return to a position where he can give full play to his talents, and he has also made some achievements. Even if he wanders around the world, he will not change his original intention of joining the WTO. This shows how admirable the poet's indomitable enterprising spirit is! This poem expresses the poet's romantic feelings through exaggeration and other writing techniques, and the momentum is ups and downs, giving people a magnificent aesthetic feeling. If you are not careful, you will fall behind the poet's ideas.

A brief introduction to the author of intransitive verbs

Liu Yuxi (772 ~842) was born in Luoyang, Henan, and Xingyang, Zhengzhou, Henan. He claimed to be a descendant of Wang Jing in Hanzhong. Ministers, writers and philosophers in the Tang Dynasty were called "poets". His family is a scholarly family handed down from generation to generation by Confucianism. Advocating political innovation is one of the core figures of the Wang school's political innovation activities. Later, Yongzhen failed in innovation and was demoted to Sima Langzhou (now Changde, Hunan). According to the textual research of Mr. Zhou, a historian and collector in Changde, Hunan Province, Liu Yuxi was demoted to Sima Langzhou, during which he wrote the famous "Han Shou Chun Wang".
