Write what you see in the sentence "Great rivers come from Qian Shan". The vast Yangtze River flows eastward from mountains and valleys, and the mountains on both sides of the Yangtze River also turn eastward. Only Zhongshan, surrounded by dragons and tigers, stands in the west, as if to ride the long wind, break the huge waves and pull the river to the west. River of no return, who flows from Zhongshan to the West, endows them with the strength of personality and lofty righteousness. One is to run for the waves, and the other is to stand in the west as a pillar. One can surf ashore, and the other doesn't go with the flow, so in the poet's pen, Dajiang and Zhongshan have become their own incarnations, magnificent and magnificent, which is a vivid expression of Jiangshan and a portrayal of the poet. The four sentences of "Jiang told Xiang Xiong not to give way" are divided into "Dajiang" and "Zhongshan". "Don't give in to each other" is a high summary of the above four sentences; "Praise for success" is a powerful development for the following.

The poet's eyes turned from the splendor in front of him to the profound history. The shape of Jinling wins, although it is surrounded by mountains and waters, it is solid; The kingly way of Jinling, though lush, has never withered. But it is not dangerous to defend the world with virtue, but to win people's hearts and not to "suppress". Although Qin Shihuang Town is the "soul of Jinling", Jinling is still "full of lush spirit", which is the following four sentences: "Why should I be depressed?" In the heyday of the Han Dynasty, Jia Yi thought that there were many people crying in the world. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Gao Qi was confused by "I was depressed", which showed that a visionary could be prepared for danger in times of peace and see that he was suffering from unforeseen circumstances. The poet boarded Yuhuatai wine to warm his ears, and suddenly in the "lonely sunset", he sprouted a feeling of nostalgia, reappearing "What was Jinling's past?" The scene of "sweeping the heroic world" can't help but fall into meditation on reality and history: the tragedies of the six emperors whose capital is here are all churning in his mind. The phrase "the waves under the stone city are angry" is an artistic summary of the historical tragedy that keeps repeating in his mind. The tragic ending of the Southern Dynasties and the Three Kingdoms Wu is the command of the poet "Why should I be depressed". Chen Houzhu became a prisoner of Sui Jun, which is an artistic summary of "Who dares to cross the martial arts". Sun Hao, the ruler of Wu, first had the historical joke that "the yellow flag entered Romania", and then had the specific historical fact that "the iron lock across the river was not solid". These two monarchs were sitting on the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, but they left a laughing stock and even died, which is why the author thought.

The phrase "Three Kingdoms before, Six Dynasties after" is the poet's further exploration and reflection on the history of the Six Dynasties. If the first four sentences are "points", then the last four sentences are "faces"; The first four sentences are typical tragedies, while the last four sentences are universal laws of history. The first four sentences are historical facts, and the last four sentences are deepening the theme. The poet believes that both the "first three kingdoms" and the "last six dynasties" have passed away and become passers-by of history. At that time, those luxurious palaces were now buried in weeds. Those "heroes" who engage in "separatist regimes" used to "attack the city and kill people for profit; Fight for the land and kill the wild. " The dynasty they built was built by the bones of countless ordinary people. "Blood flow after several wars and cold waves" is not "prosperity, people suffer; A deep sigh of death and the suffering of the people. This is the history of the Three Kingdoms and the Six Dynasties, the history of poets' mourning and the history of fishermen's gossip. Can the newly established Ming Dynasty change the rules and regulations of history? The poet dare not think or say, but this is the real reason why the poet is "depressed". "

The poet turned the pen, jumped from the profound reflection on history to the praise of reality, and gently erased that subtext. On the surface, these four sentences are the poet's praise for the reality, but in fact they are the poet's expectations for the country: he hopes to cast elite soldiers in armor, sell precious knives to buy cattle, really share the interest with the people and let the people live happily in a peaceful environment; He hopes that from now on, the four seas will be one family, the north and the south will no longer be opposed, and ordinary people will be displaced in the war. The tone is cheerful, but there is a trace of depressed emotion in joy; The mood is bright and clear, but it has cast a shadow of history. Both heroic and heroic, but also depressed and frustrated. Professor Wang Ziwei of Northeast Normal University: The poet boarded the Yuhuatai in Jinling and looked at the Yangtze River in the shadow of wild smoke and sunset. The past of Jinling, an ancient historical capital, is vivid in my mind. Poets from ancient times to the present are happy to bow to the prosperous times and praise Zhu Yuanzhang, a "saint", for being able to level the world and share the interest with the people. From then on, they can live in the four seas without fighting, because the Yangtze River is divided into north and south. In addition to singing praises, it also expressed the poet's eager expectation for the politics of the new dynasty. The whole poem is vigorous in brushwork, sonorous in rhyme, free to curl and magnificent.
