Appreciation of Poetry Translation of Picking Lotus Seeds (Huangfusong)

Huangfusong Series Picking Lotus Seeds: Selected Poems of Song Dynasty-300 classic poems of Song Dynasty. The boat picks lotus seeds and moves the lake lights in autumn (for example), greedy for watching the youth flow. It is a long-standing (young) shame to throw lotus seeds over the water for no reason. Note 1 Mimi: Water lights are flickering. Believe in the boat flow: let the boat drift with the flow. 3 unprovoked: unprovoked. The lake is bright and autumn, and the girl swings the boat to pick lotus. She let the boat drift with the current so that she could see the beautiful teenagers on the shore. The girl grabbed a handful of lotus seeds for no reason and threw them at the boys. Being seen from a distance made her shy for a long time. Appreciate this fresh and meaningful "Picking Lotus" and paint a picture of the scenery and human feelings of Jiangnan water town full of folk songs. One, two sentences, three or four words to write about picking lotus and autumn lake, the modality is simple and innocent, just like the water of hibiscus, free from dust. The original small words "Ju" and "Young" at the end of the sentence are the harmony when singing, so as to enhance the musical effect of the words. "Autumn boat moves to the lake" and "autumn colors in mid-autumn" refer to the autumn colors reflected in the ripples on the lake. Water waves reflect autumn colors, and a lake of clear and transparent autumn water can be imagined. The word "autumn" not only describes the color of the lake, but also points out the season of picking lotus. "Lake light" reflects autumn, and there are "waves", not because of the blue waves in the autumn wind, nor because of the waterfowl passing by the lake, but because of the "ship movement". Here, the author has not explained what a "ship" is or how it "moves", so these are still mysteries to readers. It was not until the second sentence that the author pointed out that this poem was written by a woman picking lotus flowers through "greedy looking at youth" and explained that the reason for the boat movement was that a handsome boy attracted the woman picking lotus flowers through "believing in the boat flow". She was so absorbed in staring at her lover that the boat drifted with the tide. This kind of bold and innocent eyes and the infatuation and innocence of "believing in the boat" vividly show the girl's distinctive personality and burning desire for love. The lake is rippling, and so is the girl's heart. Suddenly, the girl grabbed a handful of lotus seeds and threw them at the young man on the shore. This throw is full of banter, ridicule and admiration, which further vividly shows the unrestrained and enthusiastic character of girls in Jiangnan water towns. Since the Southern Dynasties, the popular love songs in the south of the Yangtze River often do not directly say words such as "love" and "lovesickness", but use homophones to form puns. "Lotus" is homophonic for "pity" and means love. The girl skillfully uses the pun argot contained in the traditional homonym to express her feelings, which is full of the interest and characteristics of Jiangnan folk songs. So, did the lotus seed hit it? Is the young man annoyed or happy? But what does this mean? These writers deliberately avoided it, leaving readers room for imagination and putting their pens into the hearts of lotus pickers. Unexpectedly, the provocative behavior of throwing lotus seeds was seen far away, and the girl felt very embarrassed. She blushed, bowed her head and felt ashamed for a long time, complaining that she was too bold to throw it away before anyone was around. The word "unprovoked" tells the girl's complicated and subtle psychological state. The embarrassment of Half-Day Shame shows the unique shyness of a first-love girl, which makes the image of the protagonist in the poem more plump and lovely. The inscription "Picking Lotus", however, the author did not describe the process of picking lotus, nor did he describe the appearance and clothes of the girl who picked lotus. But through her eyes, movements and a series of inner monologues, she expressed her courage to pursue love enthusiastically and the shy mood of her first love girl. This poem is fresh and lively with a harmonious tone. It not only has the characteristics of subtle, euphemistic, delicate and gorgeous literati poems, but also has the bold and straightforward simple style of folk songs. Natural and unique, the purity and mellow of the author's artistic attainments are quite obvious.
