The fire shines on the heavens and the earth, and the red stars twinkle in the purple smoke.
Copper smelters sing while working on the bright moon night, and their songs resound through the cold valley.
Appreciate that in this poem, the poet is full of affection and praises the laborers, which is rare in Tang poetry and therefore precious.
The fire, some old notes interpreted as an alchemist's fire, some are said to be a fisherman's fire. These statements are inappropriate. Wang Qi of A Qing Dynasty thought it was a fire of smelting and casting, and this view was generally recognized. Because according to the New Tang Book Geography, there are many mines in Qiupu, especially silver and copper. The smelting furnace is red, so it can shine on heaven and earth. The unique aesthetic feeling of purple smoke. Li Bai likes to use this word. For example, "wear emerald green, brush purple smoke on the sleeves", "pick out the blue haze with plain hands, drag purple smoke with Luo clothes", and the famous "Rizhao incense burner emits purple smoke" and so on. The "purple smoke" in the first two cases is the image in the celestial world that Li Bai is fascinated by, which is the so-called purple auspicious cloud. The latter category is natural scenery. The "purple smoke" sentence in this poem is a description of the red star of fire flying in the purple smoke. Using "purple smoke" instead of "thick smoke" not only weakens the hardships of smelting and casting craftsmen, but also endows this labor scene with a gorgeous color, which reflects the poet's ability to capture the beauty of color.
In the old days, some people thought that the word "Lang Lang" was a Wu dialect, a "singer's auxiliary word", that is, onomatopoeia, a syllable sung by craftsmen. This statement is difficult to prove. "Beard" originally refers to a blushing face, while "Lang" is a respectful name for a man. "Cloud" means "red" here, and "Yunlang" refers to a smelting craftsman illuminated by blazing fire. This explanation is understandable. On a cold night, under the moonlight, craftsmen are still busy, shouting loud trumpets and singing rough folk songs. Singing spread in all directions in the cold night, dancing on the river and echoing in the valley, which not only warmed the atmosphere in the wilderness, but also drove away one's fatigue and exhaustion. The cold night doesn't seem so long.
There are only twenty words in the whole poem, but it vividly depicts the life and image of smelting craftsmen, which is touching, and the poet's love and praise for smelting workers are naturally revealed.
Appreciation of Qiupu in the west of Guichi County, Anhui Province is one of the producing areas of silver and copper in Tang Dynasty. Around 753 A.D. (the 12th year of Tianbao), Li Bai wandered around here and wrote a set of poems "Song of Autumn Pu". This article is the fourteenth of them. This is a poem that describes and praises smelting workers positively. It is rare among the vast classical poems in China, so it is precious.
As soon as the poem begins, it presents a smelting scene with bright colors and warm atmosphere: flaming fire, red star splashing, purple smoke transpiration, and the vast world is illuminated by red flames. The poet used two seemingly ordinary words, "Zhao" and "Luan", but once refined into poetry, it made Yejing stand out. Through this vivid scene, it is not difficult to feel the novelty, excitement and wonder of the poet.
Then two sentences, "Lang night, Song moving cold Sichuan", turned to describe the image of smelting workers. With rough lines and a little outline, the poet's majestic and sturdy image of the smelter is vividly displayed on the paper. The word "Lang Lang" is novel and intriguing. "rhyme" originally refers to blushing because of shyness; Here refers to the fire reflecting the red face. From the word "Lang Lang", we can think of their strong physique and industrious, simple, enthusiastic, bold and optimistic personality. The end of the sentence "Song Dong Han Chuan" closed the characterization of the previous sentence. Smelters sing while working, and the loud singing makes the cold river ripple. What songs they sing, the poet did not specify, readers can make various supplements and associations. Song stirred up Hanchuan, of course not. This is just the poet's unique feeling, an exaggerated stroke, but extremely vivid. If the sentence "Lang Lang" only depicts the facial portraits of smelting workers under the bright moon and fire, then this sentence reveals their inner world. Their rich emotions and beautiful sentiments are full of the poet's praise and admiration between the lines.
