The Poetic Light of Hometown: Hometown Sentiments in Ancient Poetry

Hometown is the softest corner of everyone's heart. Throughout history, countless writers and artists have used their brush strokes to depict the unique scenery of their hometowns, conveying the strong nostalgia. In these poems, there are both delicate depictions of the hometown scenery and deep affection for the people in the hometown, which make people read with a lot of feelings.

Li Bai's poem "Toward the Baidi, between the colored clouds, a thousand miles from the Jiangling Mountains, a day's return" vividly depicts his departure from his hometown. This poem expresses the parting feeling of his hometown to the fullest, letting people feel the beauty of his hometown and reluctance to part with it. Bai Juyi's "Thousands of warblers cry in green and red, and the wind of wine flags in the water villages and mountains" depicts the moving beauty of his hometown and vividly shows the serenity and beauty of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yang Hongji sings in the song "Hometown Clouds": "The clouds of my hometown, floating in my heart, are like my mother's tenderness". The lyrics, borrowed from the poems of the ancients, vividly depict the beauty of the clouds in the hometown, and at the same time express the longing for the mother. In the poems of the ancients, the description of the sky of the hometown is also not lacking in delicate and touching places, such as Wang Zhilu's "climbed the stork tower, the sun is on the end of the mountains, the Yellow River into the sea", depicting the magnificent scenery of the hometown, so that people's heart is relaxed and happy.

The depiction of people in their hometowns in the poems of the ancients is even more touching. Du Fu's "Remembering my brother in the moonlit night" wrote: "The garrison drums break the line of people, the sound of a goose in the autumn. The dew is white from tonight, and the moon is bright in the hometown." This poem expresses the author's longing for his hometown brother by depicting the bleakness of the border. And Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi - Mizhou hunting" in the "will pull the carved bow like the full moon, look northwest, shoot the sky wolf" two lines, but vividly show the hometown people's bravery and heroism.

In a word, the poems of the ancients are full of fondness and longing for the hometown. They are like the poetic light of our hometown, illuminating the hometown sentiment in our hearts.
