In the poem "Nine Days of Marching and Thinking of the Former Garden of Chang'an", an allusion is borrowed to write about the customs of traditional festivals.

The first line of the poem is "I want to climb up to the top of the mountain, but no one will send me wine".

The first line is a reference to the custom of climbing up to the top of the mountain at the Chung Yeung Festival.

The chrysanthemums in my old garden should be in bloom beside the battlefield.

On the 9th day of the 9th month of the 9th year of the 9th lunar month, I reluctantly climbed up to a high place to look into the distance, but on this war-torn march, there was no one to bring me wine. I look at my hometown Chang'an with a heavy heart, that chrysanthemums probably evening in this battlefield sporadic open.

The first sentence of the word "ascent" is closely linked to the title of the "nine days", pointing out the time of the writing of the poem. The first a "strong" word, is unwilling to do and have to do for the embodiment of the mentality, showing the poet in the war in the bleak situation. "Going to the heights", but also see the flavor of the game, and in front of the crown with the word "strong desire", its meaning will be much more profound, showing a strong inexorable mood. Chongyang Festival we all like to climb high, but the poet said reluctantly want to go to climb high, through some bleak meaning, I do not know why this is. Combined with the title "Thoughts of Chang'an Hometown", the poet shows strong homesickness. Cen Shen is a native of Nanyang, but has lived in Chang'an for a long time, so he calls Chang'an his "homeland". However, Chang'an is not only his hometown, but also the capital city of the country, which was occupied by the rebel army of An and Shi. In this particular situation, the poet will be very difficult to have the heart to go to the Chongyang Festival, to go to the heights of the victory ornamental. Typical environment, so that the poet climbed the heights of the mood is more and more complex: both thinking of the homeland, more thinking of the imperial capital, both sadness, more emotional, two feelings convergence impact on his heart.

"Remote pity for the chrysanthemums in the old garden" is an allusion to Tao Yuanming. The poet naturally associates drinking wine and enjoying chrysanthemums with "ascending the heights". According to the "Southern History - hidden biography" records: Tao Yuanming once over the Chongyang Festival, there is no wine to drink, in the chrysanthemum bushes by the house to sit alone for a long time. Later on, Wang Hong sent wine to him, and only then did he return drunk. This sentence is carried on from the previous sentence, the articulation is natural, written in an understandable way, although the use of allusions, but no sense of artifice, so that people do not feel that it is the use of allusions, to achieve the highest requirements of the former "use of things": "use of things do not make people feel, if the chest of the language" (xing shao), so it can cause the reader to associate with and so can cause the reader to associate with and so can cause the reader to associate with and so can cause the reader to associate with and so can cause the reader to associate with and so can cause the reader to associate with the situation. Therefore, it can arouse the readers' association and speculation: I don't know what is the reason for "no one sends me wine". In fact, here the opposite meaning, is that although I also want to reluctantly according to the custom to go to the heights to drink wine, but in the midst of the war, there is no one like Wang Hong to send wine to help cheer, *** spend the festive season. Therefore, "no one to send wine to" sentence, in fact, is in the writing of the travel situation of the bleak and desolate, no wine to drink, no chrysanthemums to enjoy, implicitly implying the title of the "marching" of the specific environment.

The word "distant" at the beginning of the sentence "should be opened by the battlefield" is a way to show how far away he is from his hometown Chang'an, and how much more homesick he is. The author writes about homesickness, instead of writing in a general way, he especially emphasizes the chrysanthemums in his hometown of Chang'an, which he pities. This writing not only represents the general on behalf of the individual, with the "hometown chrysanthemum" on behalf of the entire hometown of Chang'an, seems to be a distinctive image, specific and palpable; and this is a natural development from the narrative of the ascent of the high drinking, by the above allusion to Tao Yuanming because of the lack of wine and boredom in the chrysanthemum bushes led to the associations, with the Festival of the Chrysanthemum Festival features, still stick to the title in the

The poem's title is "The Ninth Day", and it also points out "the old garden in Chang'an", so it can be said that it is the time and place, and it is tightly linked to the title of the poem.

Originally, the chrysanthemums in the old garden can be imagined in a variety of ways, but the poet did not write anything else, but only envisioned that it "should be opened alongside the battlefield", and such an imagery is clasped to the word "marching" in the title of the poem, and combined with the Anshi Rebellion and the characteristics of the times when Chang'an was trapped. It is written in a new and natural way with real image, which makes the readers seem to see a clear picture of the war: Chang'an city is in flames of war, the streets of the sky are stained with blood, and a cluster of chrysanthemums are still opening in loneliness among the broken walls. The imaginative words here have broken through the simple flowers and homesickness, and sent the poet's sympathy for the people suffering from the war, the desire to pacify the Anshi Rebellion as soon as possible. This sentence is a narrative language, simple and unadorned, but the cleverness in the simple, the rest of the meaning of the long, chewy, and suddenly make the whole poem of thought and artistic realm appeared a leap.
