Gao Qi wrote a poem describing the stone town west of Caochangmen in "Climbing the Yuhuatai in Jinling to See the Great River".

Great rivers come from Qian Shan, where mountains flow with the east.

Zhongshan is like a dragon in the west, breaking the waves and riding the long wind.

Jiang Shan Xiang Xiong won't back down, and the shape is stronger than the world.

Qin Huang is empty of gold, and his spirit is lush.

I'm depressed. Why should I open it? I'm drunk. I'm in the south of the city.

Sit and feel the vastness of the past and watch the sunset from a distance.

At the foot of the stone city, who dares to cross a thousand troops?

How can the yellow flag enter Romania? The iron lock across the river is not solid.

There were three kingdoms before, six dynasties after, and grass grew in the palace!

The protagonist used the current situation to alienate himself, and several wars were bloody and cold.

A saint starts from the south when he is lucky, and rests when he is in trouble.

From then on, the four seas are home, not limited to the Yangtze River.

[analysis]:

At the beginning of the poem, the scenery is described as follows: the Yangtze River roared down from the mountain, and the mountain was like a dragon riding the wind to the west. The success of the country reminds the poet that Qin Shihuang once buried treasures here to suppress the "imperial spirit" of Jinling, but in vain, Jinling is still full of "Wang Qi", and today it has become the capital of the newly established Zhu Ming Dynasty. Then, with a stroke of a pen, I wrote the poet's own feelings and feelings. The poet said that he went to the stage to watch the river after drinking, in order to relieve his "depression". At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the weather was updated, so why worry? After reading the whole poem, it is not difficult to understand that he is learning a lesson from history. The prospect of "bleak twilight" made him have a "boundless ancient meaning", and the sound of waves under Shicheng reminded him of the past of the Three Kingdoms and Six Dynasties. Chen Houzhu, then minister of the Southern Dynasties, thought that "the Yangtze River is a natural barrier, and it has been across the river since ancient times. How can Lu Jun fly over? " Later, he became a prisoner of the northern army. Sun Hao, the Lord of Wu in the Three Kingdoms, is superstitious about the rumor that "looking for yellow flags and purple covers in the southeast, there must be people in the world, and Jing and Yang are kings". Thousands of people from the royal family and harem will go to Luoyang to be emperors. As a result, they will encounter heavy snow, and their foot soldiers will get angry and have to return. Nine years later, the Jin army attacked Wu, and Wu set an iron chain to lock the river at the dangerous place of the Yangtze River, but it was still unable to stop the attack, so Sun Hao had to go out of the city and surrender. Today, the palaces of the Six Dynasties are overgrown with weeds and dilapidated. Those "heroes" who want to take advantage of the natural barrier of the Yangtze River can only make rivers of blood and bring disasters to the people, but they get nothing.

The last four sentences came back to reality. The poet readily bowed to the prosperous times and praised Zhu Yuanzhang, a "saint", for setting the world and sharing interest with the people. From then on, he can live all over the world, and he will never fight again because the Yangtze River divides north and south. Connecting with the theme of the whole poem is not so much the poet's praise of reality as the poet's expectation of the country. Will the newly established Ming Dynasty repeat the mistakes of historical peacetime? Therefore, these four tones are cheerful, but there is a gloomy feeling in the cheerfulness: the mood is bright, but this brightness has cast a shadow of history. There are both bold and bold, but also depressed and frustrated.

The whole poem is bold and unconstrained, with sonorous rhyme, free curl and free vertical and horizontal.
