In the nine-mile thirty-step street, pearls and jade are filled with swallows, as far away as a fairyland." The ten-mile magnitude is taken, and the point is the nine-mile thirty-step street.

Creative background

Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty was a famous big city at that time, known as "Yang Yi Yi Er". Many famous poets of this era had the experience of visiting Yangzhou and left behind many popular works, rendering this art city colorful and fascinating. The poet Zhang Hu visited Yangzhou and witnessed the beauty and prosperity of the local area and couldn't help singing for it. "Traveling in Huainan" was written by the poet after wandering in Huainan.

Appreciation

Yangzhou is a famous ancient city. Since the willows on the Sui Dike began to drift in the east wind, although they have experienced war, they have been unable to take away the prosperity and beauty of this hometown of peony. How many talented poets and artists have had in the past dynasties? In this city of Tsinghua University, Yangzhou was a paradise on earth in people's minds. But who knows that Yangzhou is the best place to die in life! This is the "discovery" of the poet Zhang Hu after traveling to Huainan. This song "Traveling in Huainan" is amazing and has a strong artistic effect.

The beginning sentence is simple and smooth, expressing your thoughts directly, and the poet does not hide his admiration for the prosperous Yangzhou City. On the long streets of Yangzhou City, every household lives on par with each other, and there seems to be nothing special about it. But when I opened my imagination, it seemed that the crowds of people, rows of tall buildings, and various shops all came to my eyes. The words are plain, but they leave readers with a broad space for imagination.

Three images appear in the second sentence: the moon, the bridge, and the immortal. Together, we created the beautiful and prosperous Yangzhou City in the evening. The first sentence is mainly aimed at the prosperous Yangzhou City during the day, but at night, it has a unique flavor. Every evening, the entertainment venues in Yangzhou City are lively, with colorful lights hanging everywhere, prostitutes competing for beauty, showing off their skills, reciting poems, singing songs, or dancing, enjoying the beautiful days of peace. The bright moon in the sky and the colorful lights on earth are perfectly matched and shine together.

"Ten miles long streets and markets" is actually Du Mu's "Spring Breeze Ten Miles Yangzhou Road", but it is not as full as Du Shi's fullness. "Looking at the gods on the moonlight bridge", the so-called gods were used to be called prostitutes by the Tang people. Therefore, this sentence is actually similar to Du Mu's artistic conception of "Where can the jade man teach the flute to play the flute at the bright moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges?" In general, these two sentences only describe the so-called green willow city walls and red-sleeved towers in Yangzhou City.

　 The third sentence "Life is only about death in Yangzhou", the poet turns his pen and writes "death" without writing "life". In such a beautiful time, the poet should be addicted to enjoyment, but the poet thinks of "death". At first glance, it seems inhumane, and after thinking about it carefully, he realizes cleverness, which contains the poet's deep nostalgia. The poet was completely intoxicated by the prosperity of Yangzhou City. He was reluctant to leave here. He could choose to live in Yangzhou for a long time when he was alive and buried in Yangzhou after his death. The poet was surprised by the strange and dangerous ideas, and was amazed when he read them. This poem is the warning in the whole article. "Death" is written vividly and vividly, writing the fascinating beauty of Yangzhou City to the extreme. The poet used death to write poems, and the poet also showed up to speak out, which created an extremely vivid and exaggerated effect.

The third sentence is the scenery in Yangzhou that conveys the spirit, and the fourth sentence is just a specific supplement to the third sentence. "Chanzhi Mountain Light is a good tomb field." Chanzhi Temple was originally the Forbidden City of Emperor Yang of Sui. Since it was the Forbidden City of Emperor Yang of Emperor Yang, the beautiful scenery of the mountains and waters can be imagined. The ruins of the Forbidden City are all the tombs of the poet. If you carefully play with the poetry, in addition to the meaning of praising the scenery of the state, you may also have a slight satirical expression to Emperor Yang of Sui.

The whole poem uses exaggerated and delicate brushwork to praise the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou and express its love for Yangzhou. The poet uses his pen to speak amazingly, and uses death to write poems to show his deep love and deep love. In addition to praising the scenery of the state, this poem embodies the vicissitudes of human affairs and political mockery of the corruption and extravagance of the emperor, creating a strong artistic effect.
