On the ninth festival of the ninth day of September, I reluctantly climbed to the heights to look out, but no one could deliver wine in the marching war.

I look at my hometown Chang 'an with a heavy heart. The chrysanthemums around this battlefield are scattered.

Make an appreciative comment

There are many good poems about climbing on the Double Ninth Festival in Tang Dynasty, and each poem has its own characteristics. Cen Can's "Five Wonders" are not ordinary holiday homesickness, but concern for the state affairs and people's sufferings in the war. On the surface, it looks straightforward and simple, but the actual idea is exquisite and charming. It is a lyric masterpiece with concise meaning and thought-provoking.

The original note of this poem says: "Chang 'an has not received it yet. "In the 14th year of Tang Tianbao (755), An Lushan rebelled and Chang 'an fell the following year. In the second year of Zhide (757), Su Zong marched into Fengxiang from Pengyuan, accompanied by Cen Can. Tang Jun recovered Chang 'an in September, and the poem was probably written in Fengxiang on the Double Ninth Festival. Cen Can is from Nanyang, but he has lived in Chang 'an for a long time, so he called Chang 'an "hometown".

The ancients had the custom of climbing to drink chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival on September 9, and the word "climbing" in the first sentence is closely related to the "nine days" in the title. The word "Qiang" truly shows the poet's tragic situation in the war. The second sentence uses the allusions of Tao Yuanming. According to heather. According to "Biography of Idleness", Tao Yuanming once celebrated the Double Ninth Festival, sitting alone among the chrysanthemums beside the house and not drinking for a long time. Later, it happened that Wang Hong brought wine, and then he went home drunk. This in turn means that although I reluctantly want to climb the mountain and drink according to the custom, no one sent me wine to entertain me during the war. This sentence inherits the previous sentence, which is naturally connected and clearly written, making people feel that it is an allusion, which meets the highest requirement of "using things" put forward by predecessors: "Using things does not make people feel, but if you speak from your chest." (Xing) It is precisely because of the ingenious use of allusions here that people can have all kinds of associations and speculations: What is the reason for "no one brings wine"? The following is the specific environment of "marching" in the title.

The word "Yao" at the beginning of the third sentence is to exaggerate the distance between himself and his hometown Chang 'an and see more homesickness. When the author writes about homesickness, he doesn't talk in general terms, but especially emphasizes his thoughts and pity for chrysanthemum in Chang 'an's hometown. In this way, not only the individual represents the general, but also the "hometown chrysanthemum" represents the whole hometown of Chang' an, vivid and concrete; Moreover, this is naturally developed from the narrative of climbing mountains and drinking alcohol, and it is an association drawn from the allusion of Tao Yuanming sitting on a chrysanthemum because of lack of alcohol. With the festival characteristics of the Double Ninth Festival, "Nine Days" is still posted in the title and "Chang 'an Hometown" is pointed out, which can be said to be timely and closely related to poetry. So far, this poem is relatively dull, but it is written in this way to force out the key last sentence. This sentence is a function word. Originally, I had various imaginations about chrysanthemums in my hometown. The poet wrote nothing else, but imagined that it should be "open next to the battlefield." This kind of imagination puts the word "March" in the title of the poem, combining the characteristics of the An-Shi Rebellion and the era when Chang 'an was trapped, it is natural and true, which makes us seem to see a vivid picture of war: Chang 'an city is full of war, the streets are full of blood, and broken walls. The imaginative words here have obviously broken through the simple feeling of cherishing flowers and homesickness, and pinned the poet's sympathy for the people suffering from war and his desire for the early pacification of the Anshi Rebellion. This conclusion is unpretentious in narrative language, but ingenious in simplicity, profound in meaning and chewy, which makes the ideological and artistic realm of the whole poem leap forward.
