A poem called "Lang Tao Sha"
Tang Dynasty - Liu Yuxi
The Yellow River has thousands of miles of sand,
The waves are blown by the wind from the end of the world.
Now we go straight to the Milky Way,
Together we go to the home of the Morning Glory and the Weaver Girl.
Liu Yuxi (772-842), also known as Mengde, was a poet of the Tang Dynasty and was called a "poetry hero" by Bai Juyi. Many of his works are novel in conception and profound in thought; the seven-character quatrains are inspired by folk songs and are written brightly and freshly, full of life flavor and local color.
①Langtaosha - the name of the song in the Tang Dynasty comes from the folk. It is different from the later word brand "Langtaosha".
② Jiuqu - describes the river with many turns. Nine, in ancient times, represented the majority.
③ The waves are shaken by the wind - the strong wind stirs up the waves, and the big waves wash away the sand, describing the strong winds and waves.
④Tianya - the horizon.
At night, when you look up at the stars and the Milky Way in trance, you may wonder, how are the Cowherds and Weaver Girls on both sides of the Milky Way doing now? It would be great if I could go to their place as a guest. This poem is about such a wonderful fantasy. However, what inspired the poet's fantasy was not the Milky Way in the sky, but the Yellow River on the ground.
The majestic and majestic Yellow River, with thousands of twists and turns, thousands of winds and thousands of miles of wind, and rolling sand, rushes down from the horizon. It is really "the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky"! But, isn’t there a Milky Way in the sky? The Yellow River coming from the sky must be connected with the Milky Way. So the poet cheered: Come on, walk up the Yellow River until you reach the edge of the Milky Way. Come and have a look at the home of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl! Who is the psalmist calling to go with him? Of course they are his readers, including me, you, and many other friends.
So, this poem praises the Milky Way, right? No, it is praising the Yellow River. It is the majestic momentum of the thousands-mile Yellow River that triggered the poet's pride and association, making him look from the Yellow River to the horizon, think of the sky, and think of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl from the Milky Way in the sky.
