This is a poem written by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem expresses the homesickness caused by the flute when the author stayed in Luoyang in the dead of night. The first two sentences describe that the flute spread all over Luoyang with the spring breeze, and the last two sentences describe that he was homesick because he smelled the flute. The whole poem is juxtaposed with the word "smell", expressing the feeling of smelling the flute, using imagination and exaggeration reasonably, being coherent, sincere and lasting.
The original text is as follows:
Yu Di's dark flying sound scattered into the spring breeze in Los Angeles.
In this nocturne, the willow is broken, and no one can afford to be homesick.
The translation is as follows:
Whose courtyard does the quiet Yu Di fly out of? Entering the spring breeze, it floated all over the ancient city of Luoyang.
Who can't help but miss their hometown when they hear the music of "folding willows" on the night of staying?
Comments on the text are as follows:
(1) Los Angeles: Luoyang City, now Luoyang City, Henan Province.
⑵ Yu Di: Gorgeous flute, Yu Di or forged Yu Di. Dark flying sound: Because the flute sounds at night, it is cloudy.
(3) man: here is a verb, everywhere.
(4) smell: listen; I heard you. Folding willow: that is, the flute music of "folding willow" and the name of Yuefu "drum horn blowing music"
Extended data:
This poem was written by Li Bai when he visited Los Angeles (Luoyang) in the 22nd year (734) or 23rd year (735) of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Luoyang was a very prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty, and it was called the East Capital. At that time, Li Bai was living in Los Angeles, probably in an inn. When he heard the sound of flute, he was homesick, so he wrote this poem.
This poem is about homesickness, and the title is "Smelling the flute in Los Angeles on a Spring Night", which clearly shows that the poet is excited by the flute. In the title, "Los Angeles" indicates the place of residence, and "Spring Night" indicates the season and specific time. Start by playing the flute, and then write. It is already late at night, and it is difficult for the poet to fall asleep. Suddenly, there were several intermittent flutes. The sound of the flute immediately touched the poet's wandering feelings.
The poet didn't smell the flute, but said it was "secretly flying" and changed the object to the subject. The word "dark" is the key. Note that economists often ignore this word. Because I don't know where the flute comes from or who the piper is, it is very appropriate to write the word "dark".
