, just near dusk, just near dusk what does it mean

The sunset is infinitely better.

The sunset is infinitely better, just near dusk.

Don Li Shangyin, "Dengle You Yuan".

The sun setting in the west is infinitely beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is close to the time of dusk.

Appreciation] The two sentences are famous sentences for the ages. In the evening, the poet was depressed and climbed the Leyou Yuan in Chang'an, only to see a round of red sun slanting westward, which seemed infinitely beautiful, so he couldn't help but sing: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk."

It means that the sunset is good, but unfortunately it can't last long. There are feelings of both appreciation and regret of the poet! Qing Ji Yun commented:

Feelings are blank, and they intersect for a while, which can be called a sad life experience, and it can also be called a worry about current affairs. This comment is very reasonable, in the late Tang Dynasty, there is no hope for Zhongxing, the poet is in such an era, can he not sigh with emotion!

Li Shangyin, five-word quatrain: Feeling uncomfortable at night, drive to the ancient plain. The sunset is infinitely better, just near dusk.

It's just that near dusk means that the sun is old, infinitely beautiful, but it's already dusk.

This poem comes from Li Shangyin's "Dengle Youyuan" in the Tang Dynasty, the original text is: Xiang was unwell at night, and drove to the ancient plain. The sunset is infinitely better, just near dusk.

The full text is translated as: In the evening, I was in a bad mood and drove a car to the ancient plain. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is close to dusk.

Background: At dusk close to evening, the poet felt uncomfortable, so he came to Leyouyuan to watch the sunset. Reading this poem, you know the poet's cultivation.

Discomfort to the evening", neither "take all the embrace, meet in a room", nor "because of the entrustment, outside the wandering wreckage", just drive to the ancient plains, watch the sunset fall round, really beautiful, this is the real discomfort, there is no distraction, you appreciate nature, you appreciate yourself.

About the author: Li Shangyin (c. 813-c. 858), a famous poet of the late Tang Dynasty, whose name is Yishan, whose name is Yuxi (Xi) Sheng, and whose name is Fan Nansheng, was originally from Hanoi, Huaizhou (now Xunqinyang, Henan), and his ancestors moved to Xingyang (now Xingyang City, Henan). In the second year of the opening of Tang Wenzong (837), Li Shangyin ascended to the rank of Jinshi, and served as the secretary of the provincial school Shulang and Hongnong Wei.

Poetry appreciation: When the poet climbed the Leyouyuan for the sake of dispel (uncomfortable) feelings, he saw a brilliant dusk and sunset, so he sighed. Some people think that the sunset is a sigh of the old and the poor, and the end of the light; Some people also believe that this is the poet's love for life, perseverance in the world and the unquenchable light of his heart, which is a positive and optimistic spirit.

For thousands of years, these two concepts have been debated.

1, "Five Uniques: Dengle Youyuan".

Li Shangyin. Xiang was unwell at night and drove to the ancient plains.

The sunset is infinitely better, just near dusk.

2. Approaching the evening, I feel not very comfortable;

Driving up to the paradise, I want to get rid of my troubles.

Seeing the infinite beauty of the sunset, a piece of golden light;

It's just nearly dusk, and the good times are short-lived after all.

3. This is a lyrical poem that climbs high and looks far away. The first two sentences write the reason for the rest of the chain of driving to the ancient plains: it is "uncomfortable to the evening".

The last two sentences are written to touch the scenery in the ancient plains, and get a kind of enjoyment and satisfaction spiritually. "The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk", which has always been interpreted by people as "although the evening scene is good, it is a pity that you can't stay for a long time." Today's Zhou Ruchang thinks:

It's just "two sentences," which is exactly the poet's love for life, persistence in the world, and adherence to ideals and an unquenchable kind of affectionate painstaking aspirations. Although this method of seeing Sui Qing is new, it is not in line with the poet's life experience and the poet's mood at that time.

Content Reading:Leyouyuan was a tourist attraction in the Tang Dynasty, and until the turn of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Leyouyuan was still a good place for people in the capital to play. At the same time, because of the high geographical location, it is convenient to see the scenery, and literati and artists often come here to write poems and express their feelings.

The poets of the Tang Dynasty left nearly 100 pearl quatrains in Leyouyuan, which have always been praised by people, and the poet Li Shangyin is one of them.

The poem reflects the author's sentimental mood. When the poet climbed the Leyouyuan in order to dispel the feelings of "discomfort", he saw a brilliant dusk and sunset, so he sighed.

The first two lines of this poem, "Feeling uncomfortable at night, drive to the ancient plains" point out the time and reason for climbing the ancient plains. "Evening" means that it is getting dark, and "unpleasant" means unpleasant. The poet was in a melancholy mood, and in order to relieve his boredom, he drove out to look at the scenery, so he climbed the ancient plain, that is, the happy travel plain.

"The sunset is infinitely good and noisy, just near dusk" The complete poem is:

Xiang was unwell at night and drove to the ancient plains.

The sunset is infinitely better, just near dusk.

Translation: In the evening, when I was in a bad mood, I drove the Bobi chariot to the ancient plains. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is close to dusk.

Poetry appreciation

Some people think that the poet is pessimistic, lamenting that such a beautiful sunset is about to be overwhelmed by the spreading twilight; Some people interpret "just" as "just", and believe that the arrival of dusk does not harm the beauty of the sunset in the slightest, and the poet is still full of enthusiasm and positive optimism. Both theories make sense, and I think the former is more in line with the author's life situation.

This five-character quatrain, which is just two crosses, contains such a rich ideological connotation, thanks to the poet's ethereal method to convey inner feelings. Practice has proved that the more difficult it is to sit down to the content of a work, the more it has multiple interpretations, and the easier it is to obtain far-reaching extra-textual meanings.
