Appreciation of climbing Yueyang Tower

Climbing Yueyang Tower is an impromptu lyric work. The first two couplets are about what you saw and heard when you climbed Yueyang Tower. The majestic momentum and magnificent image of Dongting Lake are truly described in concise language, and a picture of colorful weather is outlined.

"Necklace" shows the feeling that his political career is bumpy, he wanders around the world and his talents are not met. The end of the couplet expresses the poet's sadness that the country is divided and helpless, but he can't serve the country with enthusiasm. This poem is rich in meaning. Although lyric is low and depressing, it is natural and appears majestic and detached.

Second, the original text

I heard that Dongting Lake is magnificent before, but today's wish has finally reached Yueyang Tower. The vast lake tore Wu Chu apart, as if the sun, moon and stars were floating in the water.

There is no news from my friends or relatives. I am old and sick, drifting in a boat. The battle of the north gate began again, and I cried through the railing.
