Make an appreciative comment

Shanju Holiday Thinking of Shandong Brothers is one of the masterpieces of Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei. Wang Wei wrote many excellent poems when he was a teenager. This poem was written when he was seventeen. Wrote the homesickness and affection of the wanderer.

This lyric poem is simple. But for thousands of years, people read this poem when they left their hometown, but they strongly felt its power. This power comes from its simplicity, profundity and high generalization.

At the beginning of the poem, I cut into the theme and wrote about the loneliness and sadness of living in a foreign land. The beginning describes the poet's loneliness in a foreign land. The more lonely he is outside, the stronger the poet misses his relatives in his hometown.

Later, the poet directly expressed his thoughts and turned to write his association with his family, imagining how happy his brothers were when they took Cornus officinalis to climb the mountain on the Double Ninth Festival. The twists and turns are unnatural. And this unnatural place is precisely its profound place.
