The characteristics of this poem are the space for readers' imagination, aftertaste, implication and sentiment.

The first two sentences describe the scenery. In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, catkins float on the shore and touch the temples; The poet leans on the boat, and a Ling Hua canoe drifts eastward with the green river. At first glance, it looks like a leisurely picture, and only after careful taste can people realize that there is a lonely and melancholy artistic conception. Spring returns to the earth and the green willows fall, which should make people feel relaxed and happy, but for tourists from different places, it is often because of "another spring" that they have been homesick for a long time. What's more, willow branches are keepsakes given by the ancients. When willow flowers are in your arms, it will naturally arouse the homesickness of wanderers.

If the first two sentences implicitly express the poet's homesickness and are not easy for people to observe, then the last two sentences are even more obvious. The phrase "the scenery is full of the Yangtze River" means that the poet is homesick and melancholy, and has no intention to see the scenery. "The scenery is full of the Yangtze River" is just what people say. He doesn't want to see it, and he doesn't want to see it, because he lives in the south of the Yangtze River and is fascinated by the north (the poet's hometown is in Longxi ancient Tibet). The bright spring scenery in front of him can only increase his homesickness and melancholy. Such a situation can often be seen in excellent ancient poems. Li Qingzhao, a poetess in the Song Dynasty, wrote in the word "Wulingchun": "It is said that Shuangxichun is still good, but it is also intended to be a canoe; I am afraid that the ship will not move and I have many concerns. " It is one thing to hear that spring is good, and it is also full of worries. One didn't go at last, and the other went, but didn't want to enjoy the scenery at all. Although the attitude adopted is different, the effect of emotional expression is equally profound.

Since it's not to see the scenery by boat, why come? The fourth sentence gives the answer: "It's sunny * * * looking up at the country building". It turns out that the poet is visiting relatives. However, after reading the poem, many new questions inevitably arise in readers' minds: Why do you want to go upstairs to see your hometown on a sunny day, when the scenery is full of the Yangtze River? There is nothing in the poem, leaving the reader to imagine, experience and ponder. Perhaps, in ancient times, other families ran away after the cold of the year. When things change again and spring is full, do wanderers miss their hometown more? Perhaps, it is a sunny day with beautiful scenery and fresh air. It's a thousand miles to see your hometown, right? All these, although not written, are richer and more intriguing than understanding all kinds of words. This is the essence of this quatrain.
