Tap the fine bone forward, and it will bring its own copper sound.
This poem about horses is of good quality, but not good. It is an elegant way to describe people and themselves by imitating things.
The first sentence comes straight to the point, telling the truth, affirming and emphasizing that the poem shows an exceptionally good horse. The sentence is straight, and there is really not much poetry.
The second sentence "Fang Xing is a star" seems to repeat the meaning of the first sentence at first glance. "Fangxing" refers to a horse, which means that Fangxing is the star in the sky, which means that this horse is not a vulgar thing. If the meaning of this sentence is limited to this, it is almost exactly the same as the first sentence, then it is a mistake to repeat it. There are only four sentences in the poem. If the first sentence is plain and the second sentence is repeated, then half of the poem is plain and worthless. However, if you chew it carefully, you will find that the second sentence is unique, only deliberately obscure and tortuous. Jin Shu? There is such a passage in Tian: "The four stars in the room, also known as Tianma, are the main drivers. If the room is bright, so will the king. It directly links "Gongxing" with "Wang", that is to say, the situation of horses is closely related to the brightness of the king and the chaos of the country. Since the quality of the horse is good or bad, it goes without saying that the king is nameless and ignores political affairs. This is a kind of "infiltration method", which extends through twists and turns, so that its practical meaning far exceeds the literal meaning.
Write three or four sentences about the shape and quality of horses. If the first two sentences are mainly based on judgment and reasoning, lacking vivid images, then the last two sentences are just the opposite, vivid and expressive, and express their ideas completely with images and expressions. Li He writes poems and is good at capturing images. These two sentences are outstanding examples. The "skinny" figure illustrates the situation of the horse; "Copper tone" embodies the quality of horses. The horse is as thin as a bone, and it is obviously not in good condition. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a tired ordinary horse. Only those who really love horses and are good at watching them will not regard them as ordinary horses. "Fine bones before knocking, the children of Judah bring their own copper sound. Although the situation is not good, it has been tossed, but there is still a copper sound. The word "copper tone" is rich and dignified, with a three-dimensional sense. It also contains many meanings: the music of copper shows the Excellence of musical instruments, vividly shows the strength and excellent quality of horses, and makes the inner things appear as audible, visible, sensible and knowable objects. " Quality "is abstract, and" sound "is elusive. Everything is "empty". It's really not easy to write empty words. We should turn them into reality. The poet only used five words to do it, and the visualization technique can be said to have reached the level of perfection. What is particularly commendable is that poetry creates a profound artistic conception of the relationship between things and me through the description of horses. The poet's talent is unsatisfied and his situation is bleak, just like this thin horse. When he writes about horses, he just expresses his pent-up resentment gracefully. (Zhu Shiying)
The desert sand is like snow, and the Yanshan moon is like a hook.
Don't be a golden brain, go and step on the clear autumn.
Ma Shi expresses talent, ambition, feelings and resentment by praising or lamenting the fate of horses, and its expression method belongs to figurative style. However, this poem has unique significance in the use of metaphor.
The first sentence and the second sentence show the unique frontier battlefield scenery. At first glance, it is the application of fu method: on the continuous Yanshan mountains, a bright moon is in the sky; Wan Li in Pingsha looks like a layer of white frost and snow in the moonlight. This ordinary person may only feel sad and cold battlefield scene, which has unusual attraction for those who are determined to serve the country. The Moon in Yanshan Mountain is Like a Hook, and Xiao Yue hangs a jade bow as a curtain (the sixth in Nanyuan). "Hook" is a machete, and both are weapons. It is associated with the image of weapons from the bright crescent moon, which means thinking about fighting. Zhenyuan, Yuanhe period, where the author lived, was a period when the buffer region was extremely domineering, and the Jimen area in Youzhou implied by "Yanshan Mountain" was the zone where the buffer region ravaged for the longest time and caused the most disasters, so the poems were quite realistic. Thinking about war is also targeted. Sha Xue's flat battlefield is chilly, but it is a place where heroes can play. So these two sentences are lyrical and tangible.
When can I put on a mighty saddle and gallop on the battlefield in the crisp autumn? "Ma Shi" says: "The dragon's back is tied with iron, and the silver hoof is covered with smoke. No one tapestry, who is the golden whip? " The lament of "no one has brocade" and "what should I do" To express the same meaning is to hope that a good horse can be used as a good horse. "Golden brain", "brocade" and "golden whip" all belong to precious saddles, symbolizing the importance of horses. Obviously, this is a cry that the author is eager to make achievements but is not appreciated.
This poem and "South Garden (Why Men Don't Take Wu Gou)" are the same desire to join the army, pacify the provinces and make contributions to the country. But South Garden is a direct expression of the soul, and this poem belongs to allegorical or figurative style. It is more exciting to express one's mind directly; And with contrast, you will feel elegant and intriguing. In one or two sentences of the poem, it is also a comparison to use snow as a metaphor for sand and hook as a metaphor for the moon; It is also fun to write from a characteristic scenery and lead to lyricism. In a short span of twenty crosses, we can see the interest in comparison, and there is a ratio in interest, which greatly enriches the expressive force of poetry. Syntactically, the last two sentences are completed in one go, starting with the question "What should I do", which strongly conveys infinite expectations and has a sigh; The word "Step in the Clear Autumn" is full of vigor and novel collocation. It is covered with "clear autumn" grass and yellow horse fertilizer, and it is only driven by the word "go quickly". The image implies the graceful charm of the horse, which is just right: "Nothing wants and nothing wants, it is really worth life and death." Xiao Teng has this kind of behavior, and ten thousand run amok "(Du Fu's Fang Bing Cao Huma). Therefore, the practice of choosing words and making sentences is also a successful factor that cannot be ignored in the artistic expression of this poem. (Zhou Xiaotian)
Emperor Wu loves immortals and burns gold to get purple smoke.
The stables are full of meat horses and don't understand the sky.
This is an intriguing satire. The poet describes the present with the past and expresses serious and profound themes with humorous and spicy pen and ink.
The first two sentences are about Emperor Wu seeking immortality through alchemy. Emperor Wu wanted to live forever, so he ordered an alchemist to make alchemy sand into gold, which cost a lot. What was the result? I only see a wisp of purple smoke. The word "de" seems ordinary, but it carries a lot of weight. It mercilessly lashed and satirized the absurd act of seeking immortality through alchemy, and won the wonderful praise and criticism of One Word.
The last two sentences are about horses, which follow the poem closely. "The stables are full of meat horses and don't understand the sky." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, eager to ascend to heaven and become immortal, didn't raise a heavenly horse that could "blow clouds" and "catch the wind", but let useless "meat horses" flood the stables. It is very accurate to describe the mediocrity and inferiority of horses with "meat horses". Because it is a "royal horse", the food and shelter conditions are superior, and every horse is fattened and heavy. Such a horse has difficulty running on the ground, how can it ride to the sky! These two sentences have profound implications. In addition to implying that Emperor Wu's dream of seeking heaven was shattered, it also implied that talented and knowledgeable people were abandoned at that time, and mediocre and incompetent people were promoted one by one, stealing high positions and serving as imperial courts. I want to ask: how can we rely on these people to make the country rich and strong and realize the political ideal of Qingming? This poem satirizes the superstition and fatuity of the supreme ruler at that time, which is rare in Li He's works. (Zhu Shiying)

The last two sentences are about horses, which follow the poem closely. "The stables are full of meat horses, and heaven forbid." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was eager to ascend to heaven and become immortal, did not raise a heavenly horse that could "fly clouds" and "catch the wind", but let useless "meat horses" flood the stables. It is very accurate to describe horses as mediocre and inferior with "meat horses". Because it is a "royal horse", it has excellent food and shelter conditions and is fed fat and heavy. Such a horse has difficulty running on the ground, how can it ride to the sky! These two sentences have profound implications. In addition to suggesting that Emperor Wu's dream of seeking heaven was shattered immediately, it also implied that talented and knowledgeable people were abandoned at that time, and mediocre and incompetent people were promoted one by one, stealing high positions and serving as imperial courts. I want to ask: how can we rely on these people to make the country rich and strong and realize the political ideal of Qingming? This poem satirizes the superstition and fatuity of the supreme ruler at that time, which is rare in Li He's works, because he used inhumanity, hidden in the wind and rich in connotation, which made him "laugh" and made people relaxed and refreshed.
