A poem describing the hero's death

◆ The Last Chrysanthemum (Miss Chrysanthemum)

Waiting for September 8 of the lunar autumn,

Blooming chrysanthemums are in full bloom, Chang 'an is fragrant, the city is bathed in the fragrance of chrysanthemums-Italy, and the land is like golden chrysanthemums.

Appreciation: This poem is the most prosperous work in Huang Chao's life, and it is also one of his most popular poems. No, Director Zhang Yimou borrowed one of them as the title. In fact, he is leading hundreds of thousands of peasant uprising troops trapped in Chang 'an, and he is full of poetry. He described the irresistible resistance by chanting chrysanthemums. The beauty of this poem is that although it is a hymn to chrysanthemum, there is not a word "chrysanthemum" in the whole poem. And through the blooming Huang Juhua, it seems that people can see that the mighty and magnificent golden armored army is about to break the majestic momentum of Chang 'an.

The realm of this poem "Chrysanthemum" is more magnificent than the previous one. In the poem, the poet used metaphors to endow the Chrysanthemum peasant uprising army with heroic demeanor and noble character.

The first sentence "Stay in Qiu Lai on September 8th" means that the Double Ninth Festival hasn't arrived yet, and the poet is writing poems to celebrate. The word "Liu" is abrupt, it "suddenly rings like firecrackers", which has a sharp and strong charm and some meaning of looking forward to it soon. On the day before the Double Ninth Festival, the poet wrote "September 8" as "September 9" from the surging poetry flow, which not only rhymed, but also revealed a desire to call for an early revolutionary storm.

On the one hand, the second sentence "I open a hundred flowers to kill" shows readers an irresistible natural law. The sharp contrast between the blooming of Jin Ju 'ao frost and the withering of flowers in the frost shows the tenacious vitality of chrysanthemum. On the other hand, it implies that once the peasants revolutionized storm warning, the corrupt Tang Dynasty would immediately turn into the branches and leaves of a hundred flowers in the frost. The third and fourth sentences, "Tianxiang pervades Chang 'an, and the city is full of golden flowers", are the foresight and expectation of the victory prospect of chrysanthemum. The word "soaring into the sky" in the third sentence shows the extraordinary momentum of chrysanthemum with rich aroma and soaring into the sky; The word "incense array" shows that when Jin Ju won, it was by no means a separate branch, but a group that was all proud, which contained a simple and profound concept of peace in the world; The word "head" also shows the enterprising spirit of chrysanthemum, which is refreshing, fragrant and cosmopolitan. The words "full" and "exhausted" in the fourth sentence describe the wonders when chrysanthemums won the world-the Double Ninth Festival, when chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and the whole Chang 'an became the world of chrysanthemums, which fully demonstrated the victory prospect of the peasant revolutionary storm.

Chrysanthemum has always been regarded as the national flower of China, and those who chant chrysanthemum but can't write the soul of the country are inferior. Huang Chao's poems express his ambition by chanting chrysanthemums, which are magnificent and extraordinary. They have successfully created heroic images of lyric heroes such as "I bloom and kill hundreds of flowers" and "The city is full of golden flowers", with sharp tone and great momentum.

The movie "Golden Flower in the City" comes from Huang Chao's poem "The Last Chrysanthemum" in the late Tang Dynasty, and the story is also set in this era.

◆ Self-named images

I remember when the grass was flying and the iron clothes were covered with robes.

Tianjin Bridge didn't know anything, so I leaned against the post and watched the sunset.

Appreciation: Compared with the first two poems, this poem is not so widely circulated. Many people even doubt whether this poem is Huang Chao's own work. Because, it is said that Huang Chao himself died in battle, but judging from this poem, he not only didn't die, but also cut his hair and became a monk. But I prefer to believe that this poem was written by Huang Chao himself. In my opinion, Huang Chao or Li Zicheng, the all-powerful peasant leaders, might as well die in battle. If they escape into an empty door, their life experience must be beyond the reach of ordinary people. For example, the first two sentences of this poem, "Remember that the grass flies and the iron clothes are covered with robes", not only show the extraordinary hectic years that Huang Chao experienced in the army, but also show his quiet monastic career later. The sharp contrast is very touching! In particular, the sentence "No one in Tianjin Bridge knows anything" vividly describes the helplessness, desolation and sadness of the hero before he died, which makes people feel sad! However, at the turn of the pen, the phrase "watching the sunset by leaning on the railing alone" leisurely depicts the artistic conception of "life is short and the river is getting worse", which is memorable!
