Origin: It is a Yuefu poem "Wuqi Qu" written by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem hints at the inevitable ending of a dissolute king through symbolic images such as rising from the sky at sunset, climbing mountains at sunset, and the autumn moon falling into the river.
Appreciate:
This poem has a remarkable feature in conception, that is, taking the passage of time as a clue, it writes the process from day to dusk and from dusk to Dan in the life of Wugong. The poet did not describe and render the scene in this process in detail, but closely followed the passage of time and the change of scenery, suggesting that the Wu palace was debauched day and night, revealing the drunken life of the Wu king.
The tragic ending of dissolute people is hidden by symbolic and suggestive scenery such as crows in the cold forest, mountains in the sunset and autumn moon falling into the river. The whole story is written purely objectively, without any derogatory words, but the satirical style is sharp and cold, which deeply penetrates the spirit and soul of the object.
Li Bai's seven-character ancient poems and verses are generally bold and unrestrained, but this "Wuqi Qu" tends to be introverted, deep and implicit, and has become his unique tune among the seven ancient times. Perhaps the predecessors thought it was to satirize the indulgence and infatuation of the martial arts palace through its lewdness.
Xuanzong made great efforts in the early stage and abandoned politics in the later stage, which is similar to Fu Cha's making a fortune first, defeating Wu, and then indulging in debauchery, leading to his downfall. He Zhangzhi's comments on Crying the Gods are not only from the artistic point of view.
