"The Guangchuan River flows, driving horses to Changzhou." One or two sentences say that Luoshui River is far away and flows endlessly into the distance. "I" drove horses along the long embankment of Luo River calmly and calmly. This is written as "the long distance of Luoshui".

Shangguan Shilang Yi alone took charge of the state affairs. He came to the court early in the morning and patrolled the Luo water embankment. He walked slowly in the moonlight and chanted a poem: "The vast rivers flow, driving horses to Changzhou. Magpies fly over the mountains and make a noise in the wild wind in autumn." Rhyme and Rhythm It's so clear that everyone looks at it like a god.
"The magpies are flying over the mountains at the dawn, and the cicadas are noisy in the wild autumn wind." The three or four sentences say that the dawn is dim, the moon is hanging on the west mountain, the magpie birds are coming out of the forest, and the cicadas are hissing and noisy in the morning wind in the wild in early autumn. This is to write "the beauty of early autumn".
Flying magpie, mountain moon, dawn, noisy cicada, wild wind and autumn, the poet uses six groups of objects to outline a quiet picture of early autumn, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and yearn for it. He is actually a master of line drawing and has a very high aesthetic connotation. .

The instrument is "magpies flying in the mountains at dawn, cicadas are noisy in the wild wind and autumn". The sound is clear and clear, and the rhyme is fluttering. All the scholars of Qi and Liang should gather together."
"Tang Yin Gui Zhu" also says: Shangguan Yi "magpies fly over the mountains at dawn, cicadas noisy in the wild wind in autumn", he speaks out of style, and has a good ear.
The overall poetic mood of these two sentences may be derived from the famous line of Qi Liang poet Wang Ji, "The noisy forest is more quiet, and the bird singing mountain is more secluded."
