Poetry focuses on romance. The whole article is based on their own feelings to look at things and write about the scenery, which makes the scenery extremely emotional. The word "sorrow" was written from beginning to end, and the word "sorrow" was revealed at the beginning of this song, indicating that everything written below was seen and felt by sad people.
The first sentence of the poem, "Gui Dian's long sorrow doesn't remember spring", not only reveals the word "sorrow", but also this kind of sorrow is "long sorrow", that is to say, the people in the poem are not worried about the bleak scenery of the current autumn night, but have been worried for many years, even if spring comes to the earth and everything recovers, it can't alleviate this kind of sorrow at all; Because of her sadness, she can't feel spring, or even remember it. The second sentence of the poem, "The golden house hides the charming autumn dust", is in harmony with the second sentence of the previous poem. Because the Golden House is empty, the "Golden Four Houses" are dusty; Because it is the season of "firefly flow", the following three or four sentences in Autumn Dust "Hanging the clear sky at night and looking at the people in Nagato Palace alone" echo the previous three or four sentences from a distance. Before writing, Moonlight wanted to go to Nagato, but she couldn't. Here, it is said that the moon is high in the sky, it has arrived in Nagato, and the reader finally saw the "people in Nagato Palace" in the moonlight.
This "Nagato Palace Man" has different feelings about seasons, environment and moonlight. Spring comes year after year, saying "I don't remember spring" seems that spring hasn't come for a long time; The dust in the house does not belong to any season, but "autumn dust" gives the dust a bleak sense of season; The bright moon hangs high in the sky, shining on all beings, saying "solitude" is like "the bright moon deliberately suffers" (translated by Tang Ruxun in Tang poetry). These are all "unreasonable wonders" that He Shang said in Wrinkled Water Xuan Ci. From this point of view, sad people have different arms. The whole poem is written in depth.
The last two sentences of these two poems, like the last sentence of Wang Changling's Autumn Hatred in the West Palace, are all from Sima Xiangru's Changmen Fu, which says, "Hang the bright moon and look at yourself, and spend the night in the bridal chamber". However, the hero in Wang's poems hopes to please the king in grief and indignation, and his fate is not satisfactory. However, the flexible use of the language of fu has formed another realm. Although he took complaining as the theme, he failed to grasp the reality of Queen Chen. The poem shows the miserable situation of the vast number of ladies-in-waiting living in the deep palace of hell on earth, revealing the corner of the cold feudal system.
