What is the poetry of Li Bai's "Emei Mountain Moon Song"?

The Moon Song on Mount Emei is a poem by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty.

Literally, the full poem means that the half moon hangs high in front of Mount Emei, and the blue water of Qingyi River reflects the moon. Set out by boat at night, leave Qingxi and go straight to the Three Gorges. I miss you, but I met you late. I can only reluctantly go to Yuzhou along the river.

The whole poem is as follows: In the first half of autumn, Mount Emei falls into Pingqiang River. In the evening, Qingxi went to the Three Gorges, but the four gentlemen did not see Yuzhou.

Appreciation of the whole poem:

The poem begins with "Emei Mountain Moon", pointing out that the season of traveling far away is in autumn. The word "autumn" is upside down at the end of the sentence because of its rhyme. Autumn is crisp and the moonlight is bright ("autumn moon is bright"). The word "autumn" also describes the beauty of moonlight, which is natural and wonderful. The moon is only "half a circle", which reminds people of the beautiful artistic conception of the castle peak spitting the moon. The second sentence "shadow" refers to the shadow of the moon, and the verbs "enter" and "flow" form a linked predicate, indicating that the shadow of the moon is reflected into the river and goes with it.

There is someone in the second sentence, and the person in the third sentence has appeared: he is leaving Qingxi Station overnight, entering the Minjiang River and heading for the Three Gorges. Young people who "go to the countryside with swords and shadows and leave their loved ones to travel far away" will be reluctant to leave their hometown. Seeing the moon on the river is like seeing an old friend. However, the bright moon is not an old friend after all. I can only "look up at the bright moon and send my feelings for thousands of miles." The last sentence, "I miss you, but I can't see Yuzhou", can be described as infinite separation.

Five place names are used in the poem in succession, which are ingenious and leave no trace. The poet passes through Emei Mountain-Pingqiang River-Qingxi-Three Gorges-Yuzhou in turn, and the poetic scene gradually unfolds a map of the Shu River for readers. Apart from the "Emei Mountain Moon", there is almost no more specific description of the scenery in the poem; Except for the word "four kings", there is no lyric. However, the artistic image of "Emei Mountain Moon" runs through the whole poetic realm and becomes a catalyst for poetic sentiment. It has rich implications: the mountains and the moon accompany Wan Li, which can be seen every night, making the feeling of "missing you" deeper and deeper.
