Overall appreciation

This is a poem centered on writing banquets, the main purpose of which is to satirize the amazing ignorance of the people's livelihood of the dignitaries who live a luxurious life. The word "ancient" is used in the title, and two most popular names, Jin and Zhang, famous bureaucrats in the Han Dynasty, are used in the poem, both of which mean to write current affairs through ancient events in the Tang Dynasty.

The first four sentences are not about people directly, but about the style and noise of the court. The first two sentences are all about the emperor and courtiers: the etiquette ceremony in Penglai Palace has been put in place, and the cars returning from the strike are rolling on the road. Write three or four sentences in the morning, and then get together for a feast. The first four sentences are not about people directly, but about horses and chariots, heavy doors, going to court and feasting. You can imagine the rich style of active characters, from which readers can infer how luxurious the people they were born live.

In the middle four sentences, write the grand occasion of the banquet. First, write about the grand occasion of the banquet by writing about the charming maid. A maid served wine at the party. "Weakness is weakness" is a very shy and elegant gesture of a beautiful woman holding wine. From "Low Happiness" to the Phoenix Flower and Golden Hairpin on the bun. Then write a contrasting picture: "Ten families have calluses, and one family has Feng Chai." "Callus" refers to calluses on the palm of your hand. The poet seems to be pointing to Chai Jin and saying, "Although it is small, it is the crystallization of ten families' hard work!" These four sentences are very clean with a pen: writing banquets, only writing beautiful women who deliver wine; Write a beautiful woman, in addition to showing her identity, let her hold the wine vessel, and only write the golden hairpin she saw when she was in the trough. For Chai to come in, it is enough to see the elegance of a beautiful woman, but for the elegance of a beautiful woman with wine, it is even more conceivable to see the elegance of a guest and the richness of a banquet. This profile description of "holding the moon and leaning against the clouds" is very successful.

Write down the last four sentences as a pastime after the party. When you're full, it's inevitable that there will be good times. The word "qi" means that many people are looking down at the railing. In the sun, their Luo Qihua clothes are particularly dazzling. When the woodcutter passed the tall building, your officials laughed and pointed out that they didn't believe there were such poor people in China. The last four sentences show the inequality of social status between the rich and the common people in space, and push the whole poem to a new level. After showing the extravagant life of these upper-level bureaucrats, the poet further revealed the extreme emptiness and ignorance of their spiritual world. At the same time, we can also see the author's "bitter tears".

In art, these last four sentences are also the most glorious place in the whole poem. The poet asked the characters to show themselves on the stage and perform: let the "calluses" woodcutter appear on the screen and let the friends in the room flock to the roof. Worried about the poor artistic effect, the poet also arranged a spotlight for this group of dignitaries-"Rizhao" appeared and performed in broad daylight. Under the "sunshine", readers not only see the dazzling costumes of these people, but also see through their despicable souls from their manners.

Ancient banquet music reached a high level in artistic structure. The work takes time as the main line, and writes three pictures in turn: going to dinner, Yan E holding wine, and going downstairs to watch. At the same time, write from far to near with spaces as the subline. The banquet was changed from a distant view to a close-up view until Yan E held the wine and pushed it into a close-up. Then he shook the camera and turned it into a picture of going downstairs to watch. The whole poem takes four sentences as a unit, gradually advances, and finally forms * * *, which completes the serious irony theme of the work with the understatement of the appearance of the characters.
