When the original world poet wrote this poem, the object of his love was in his youth, with a beautiful face and charming charm. People often say, "Which girl is not good at cherishing spring, which boy is not good at love". Throughout the ages, love has always seemed to be associated with youth and beauty. When people are bathed in the brilliance of love, there is only the present moment in their minds, and there is always a hidden desire to reject time, refuse to change, and turn the moment into eternity. And the poet prefers to travel through the long time tunnel, think of the twilight years of the red-faced girl, and imagine her gray hair and rickety body.

It is cruel to preach about the twilight of her twilight years to a young girl who is enjoying the fruits of youth, like telling a newborn child that he must die, but it is an irresistible law of nature. The psalmist does not write this "truth" to her, but in this way to express his love to her. The poet seems to be a lonely person, watching from afar but persistently, falling in love with the girl who is held by the stars of the people, and offering her his own unique but truly precious love, because the love of others, whether true or false, only loves her face, and the poet alone loves her noble soul. The red face is easy to grow old, and the youth is difficult to stay, but the noble soul and inner beauty of the girl will stay forever in the passage of time, just like wine, the longer it is stored, the more mellow the taste, so the poet's love can also transcend time and transcend the external beauty.

This love poem is unique, and its uniqueness comes from the poet's unique and sincere emotion, without which deliberately going out of the way will only make people feel contrived. Therefore, this poem is not so much the poet's imaginary story of the girl's twilight years, but the poet's confession of his true feelings to the girl and the surging years. In this sense, what moves us is the sincere emotion of sadness and hopelessness, but determination without regrets that overflows in the poem.

The poem is divided into three stanzas. These three verses of the poem, with a beginning and a knot, take care of each other, quite ingenious.

The first stanza begins with a hypothetical temporal adverbial in which the poet imagines an elderly lover reading a book of poems by the fire a few years later. She sat alone with frosty hair, but she was not alone, because the poem accompanied her. As she chants softly, she will recall everything from the past, her beautiful eyes, soft light, and deep shadows. The poem was written at the time of the archetypal character's youth. But the assumption of "when you are old" is concretized because of the images of "white head", "drowsy thoughts", and "napping by the fire", and the moment of "getting old" suddenly comes to us, it is hazy, static, but so vivid and shocking. Standing on the other side of time, looking at your former self in pairs, what will you see? The emotional journey and the long years that the poet went through after writing this poem confirm the perception he had when he wrote this poem, and the poet seems to have been walking towards his hypothetical time and space without hesitation, as if he were moving towards a kind of faith. [

The second stanza is the focus of the poem, and the poet subtly expresses his deep affection in a contrasting way. "How many people have loved you when you were young and happy, and loved your beauty, false or sincere, but only one loved your pilgrim's soul, and loved the painful wrinkles of your old face." The poet pointed out that others love your youthful joy and your beautiful appearance, but I love your holy heart that fights for the freedom of the nation. Even if the green shade of youth has fallen, "I" will still love the sorrow and wrinkles on "you" face. Compared to those people, the poet's love is undoubtedly deeper, more sincere, and more loyal. Time has brought many tests to love, but time has also verified love. Only after the tempering of time can love be as solid as a rock and last for a long time.

The third section turns to the virtual artistic conception of the future. The poet's language is as soft as down, gently guiding lovers into the time tunnel in advance - "When you are old", "you" former hair has gray hair, "you" face is no longer smooth and brilliant, "you" body is rickety, napping against the fire, "I" is still heartbroken for "you" aging, "I" is still ringing the bell of love for "you", and then "you" will understand the affection and loyalty of "me". The poet's love in reality is so hopeless, he has to guide the other party to imagine the scene many years later, hoping that the lover can understand his infatuation as soon as possible after seeing this poem, instead of waiting until many years later, when everything has become a permanent pain. Then the poet writes: "On the mountain overhead, it paced slowly, hiding its face in the midst of a group of stars. "The poet's love did not disappear, but lingered on the mountain overhead, could not bear to leave, and finally hid himself among a group of stars. The imagery of "mountain" and "star" in these two sentences expands the artistic conception and space of the poem, making people feel a kind of holy beauty, and the poet's love continues to sublimate towards the pure and sublime realm, sublimating into infinite space and becoming a kind of eternity.

Just like the song in Shuimu Nianhua's "Life with You", "How many people have admired your appearance when you were young, you can know who is willing to endure the ruthless changes of the years." How many people have come and gone back in your life, but you and I have been by your side all my life." For the poet, love will never die, in this time-based poem, the poet not only vividly conveys the unique emotional experience of the individual with delicate brushstrokes, but more importantly, the poet comprehends the universal and common experience of all mankind from the personal feelings, so as to realize the individual's transcendence of life and the world.

A good work can transcend the boundaries of time and space, and the impact of such a poem, on such an occasion, through Jiang Yan's mouth to the ears of the world, is also huge. Just look at the people under the audience who are intoxicated by the illusion depicted in the poem, look at the tears in the corners of the eyes of those girls, and look at the silent expressions of those young men, you can know that they are all deeply thinking because of this poem.

"What a beautiful poem! What a sense of purpose! is young and beautiful, and no woman is willing to accept the assumption that she is old and decrepit. But when you are old, such an assumption, under the modification of gray hair and drowsiness, makes people unconsciously substitute into it. What touched me even more was the deep affection expressed in the poem, the only one who had loved your pilgrim's heart, and loved the traces of time on your mourning face. Moved to cry! Lin Xin on the stage said with red eyes holding up the microphone.

Chu Mengyao on the side also nodded in agreement: "Yes!" At first, I was a little speechless when I saw this question, because such a question is a question that everyone will give an answer that people can guess just by thinking about it, but it is doubtful how many people have the answer from the heart. But hearing this poem, I believe that Jiang Yan's answer is from the heart, how sincere feelings must be to write such a touching poem. If anyone doubts such an answer, I am the first to disagree! ”

"When you're old, your hair is gray, and you're sleepy." Jiang Hao on the side also spoke up, "Brother Jiang, your writing is so good, I miss your sister-in-law when I write it, no, I have to fly back as soon as this show is over!" "I have to say that the level of the amusing and destroying atmosphere is very high, and the people who were still intoxicated just now laughed directly after listening to Jiang Hao's words.

"Haha! Brother Hao deserves to be a good man! ”

"Hmm, sister-in-law is amazing, look at the one who tamed Brother Hao, this lover!"

"Brother Hao deserves to be a peerless good man!"

"Haha, let's go back quickly!"

Su Qingxuan didn't speak, her beautiful eyes looked at Jiang Yan affectionately, and the hands of the two were tightly clasped together.

"Okay, the three questions have been asked, while relieving the curiosity of the audience, we have once again witnessed Mr. Jiang's talent, poetry does not need to be thrown out like money, one question and one poem! I really don't understand how your brain grows, how you can't necessarily write a classic poem in a few years from others, and you can write a classic poem every minute! Several people on the stage interacted, and Lin Xin raised the microphone and sighed.

"You've got it! What kind of talent am I, I'm just writing blindly, writing blindly! Jiang Yan was rarely humble. It's not that he's embarrassed, but he understands his own family affairs, he borrowed all these poems from memory, and it is helpless to occupy other people's authorship, but if you really use other people's works, and shamelessly admit that you are talented, it is really a bit too shameless!

"Now, we're coming to the end of our show, huh. According to the regulations, every time the protagonist confesses that he has to perform a show at the end of the show after the successful marriage proposal, I don't know if Mr. Jiang Yan is ready for the show! Seeing the prompt in the background, Lin Xin held the microphone for the final first job.

"Ahh Yes! This show was planned by Jiang Yan, and he naturally wouldn't be unclear about the process, so Jiang Yan prepared the show before coming.

"Oh? Teacher Jiang Yan's show, I really have some expectations! Lin Xin said with some expectation that this dish was not that she deliberately praised Jiang Yan, but that this work did not disappoint.

Just when Lin Xin was about to let Jiang Yan start his own performance, the audience was unhappy, and heard someone shouting: "Don't look at the ready, let this product be created on the spot!" ”

"Yes, you want to create on the spot!"

"Yes! The one who was prepared in advance was too stress-free for him, and if he wanted to be with our goddess, he had to create a show on the spot! ”

There was some "excitement" in the audience, and Lin Xin was also a little confused about this situation, this was a live broadcast, and they didn't realize the strategy of being ready to deal with this situation, so for a while, several people on the stage looked at Jiang Yan!
