An ancient poem describing disappointment

An ancient poem describing disappointment

First, magnolia order (quasi-ancient word)

Qing Dynasty: Nalan Xingde

If life is just like the first time, what is the west wind painting fan? It is easy to change, and it is also easy to change.

Lishan language stops midnight, and the rain bell doesn't complain. More importantly, if you are lucky, you will be more willing than before.

translate

Getting along with the right person should always be as sweet, warm, affectionate and happy as when we first met. But you and I should love each other, but why should we leave each other today?

It's easy to change your heart now, but you say it's easy to change your heart in this world.

Just like Tang He, you and I swore a life-and-death oath in the Palace of Eternal Life, but we finally said goodbye. Even so, we don't have any resentment.

But how can Tang compare with that year? He has always made a vow to be a pair of birds and connect the branches with Yang Yuhuan.

The inscription says that this is an antique work, and its quatrains is an ancient poem, which accuses men of their fickle feelings in a woman's tone to express their rejection of men. Such as the ancient words "Bai Tou Yin" and Tang Yuanzhen's "Three Ancient Decisions". The first draft of Nalan Xingde borrowed allusions from Han and Tang Dynasties to express the feelings of "in my heart forever".

Using the name "absolutely" is probably a scene of breaking up with the first lover. This word is really written in imitation of the tone of abandoned wife. The first sentence, "Life is just like seeing it for the first time", is the most prosaic and emotional sentence in the whole word. If a relationship is heavy enough in a person's heart, the first moment will always be clear and unforgettable no matter what changes have been experienced in the future. When I first saw this, I suddenly pulled my feelings back to the good memories of my first love.

The sentence "What is a sad autumn wind painting fan" uses the allusion of Ban Jieyu being abandoned in Han Dynasty. Use a fan to drive the heat in summer, and no one will care in autumn. Fans are often used in classical poetry to describe women who are left out in the cold. This means that we should love each other, but we have drifted apart. It also dragged the love of words from good memories to cruel reality.

Two words: "When you wait and change, you lose your heart, but you lose your mind." Because this word is written in a feminine tone, the protagonist deeply blames himself and regrets from these two sentences. He was not a heartbreaker, but the teenagers at that time had not yet taken charge of their own destiny. In fact, an emperor of the Tang Dynasty like Li Longji couldn't even keep his beloved lover, let alone Nalan.

The phrase "Li Shanyu stops at midnight, and the rain bell will always complain" is based on Tang He's love story. On Tanabata, Tang and Yang made vows of eternal love in Huaqing Palace. The vows of eternal love are still there. As soon as Maweipo incident broke out, Yang Guifei became a victim of political struggle. It is said that later, on his way back to Chang 'an from Sichuan, Tang heard the bell in the rain on the plank road, which reminded him of Yang Guifei and wrote the famous song Rain. Here, I borrow this code to say that even if I say goodbye at last, I won't have any resentment.

The sentence "How lucky you are, how handsome you are, how willing you are to be in the same sky" was translated into the poem Ma Wei by Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty, which inherited the meaning of the first two sentences and explained the emotional loyalty of the protagonist from another side.

The whole word expresses the bitterness of being abandoned by her husband in a woman's tone. The words are sad and touching. The autumn wind painting fan laments the fate of being abandoned. The language of Mount Li alludes to the original affectionate moment. The words of the close lover Yang Guifei in The Night Rain Bell finally broke the horse's heart. The poem "Love Song" comes from "Love Song" and has become a distant past. Behind this "always in my heart", there seems to be deeper pain, and "always in my heart" is just a disguise. So some people think that this article has something to hide. The poet uses the metaphor of love between men and women to show that friends should always be consistent and never give up.

Second, look at Jiangnan.

Tang dynasty: Wen

Comb your hair and lean against Wangjiang Tower. Thousands of ships passed by, and no one expected to appear. Broken-hearted Baiping State.

translate

After washing and dressing up, I boarded the Wangjiang Tower alone, leaned against the pillar and stared at the surging river. Thousands of ships passed by, and none of the expected people appeared. The afterglow of the sun is lovingly sprinkled on the river, and the river flows slowly, and the yearning heart lingers on that Baipingzhou.

This word describes the scene of a woman going upstairs looking forward to going home, showing her mood from hope to disappointment and finally "heartbreaking".

This is a poem with only 27 words. "It is difficult for a word to have fun as it is for a poem to make a quatrain" and "A word cannot be idle" (A Brief Review of White Elephant Words). The sentence of "freshen up" seems dull, and "the words are not surprising and endless", but these three words are rich in connotation, leaving a lot of imagination for readers. This is not an ordinary person getting up in the morning to wash his face and comb his hair, but a reflection of a specific personality (thinking of a woman) on a specific emotion (joy and excitement) under specific conditions (preparing for the return of a long-lost lover).

In China's classical poems, it is often said that "the stove is not used, and the dressing case is born of dust." The description of "the abnormal color of the leading edge, golden green and dark without essence" shows Steve's lonely and painful life and state of mind. The usage of this article is different. The pain of parting, the loneliness of lovesickness, the lonely days seem to be over, or the beautiful days she hopes seem to be coming, so she looks at herself in the mirror, looking at herself with self-pity and deliberately embellishing. As a result, the warm fire of hope meets the cold reality, bringing deeper disappointment and greater mental pain, and we have to return to the predicament of "nothing can be saved" and "head flying like a cornice". Don't these three words vividly show the environment in which the woman lives alone, her inner feelings and her yearning for a better life?

As a result, a broad and colorful artistic picture appeared: "Relying on Wangjiang Tower alone." The river is the background, the building is the main body, and the focus is on lonely people. At this time, women's feelings are complicated; As time goes on, emotions will change. The excitement and joy of climbing the stairs for the first time, the anxious impatience, and the deep nostalgia for the past … Here, the word "independence" is very vivid. The word "independence" has neither color nor sound, but it is meaningful. This is not the "interdependence" of intimate love words between lovers, nor is it the "* * * dependence" of a group of people chattering. Through this silent and lonely picture, the spiritual world of the characters is reflected. The sight of a beautiful woman leaning against the fence in the distance is "I want to miss the sky several times and know the way home". When people, scenery and feelings are linked together, colorful colors that blend with the beautiful Lijiang scenery will appear on the screen, and there will be changes in people's emotions and the blending of rivers.

"Too many Qian Fan are nothing" is the emotional turning point of the whole poem. This sentence contrasts with the first cheerful mood, bright and strong; It is also connected with the emptiness and anxiety of "leaning alone on the Wangjianglou", connecting the preceding with the following. The boat is empty, how can people be inferior! Hopes were dashed. At this time, what caught her eye was "the water is slanting." Sunset and running water, originally lifeless and heartless things, have become affectionate beings in the eyes of women who think here and now. This is an associative analogy caused by her painful mentality of empathy with natural objects. The sun is about to set, and I am deeply affectionate to the disappointed woman, unable to bear to leave, quietly receiving the afterglow; The endless river seems to understand her mood, and she flows away silently. It is like a set of focal planes: a deliberately decorated woman, leaning against the building and staring at the vast river, waiting for her lover who has not returned after a long separation, from sunrise to sunset, from hope to disappointment, how touching this woman's misfortune is.

At this point, the description of the scenery, the expression of feelings and the contrast of the atmosphere are all mature, and finally the strongest sound of the whole song pops up: "heartbroken Bai Pingzhou." "The last sentence should be noted, and the meaning is not enough." Compared with the whole word "non-trace", the theme at the end is too straightforward, but in the climax of feelings, where is Bai Pingzhou with "unfinished meaning"? Mr. Yu Pingbo said, "Don't be too practical, it's better on the whole" (Yu Pingbo's Selected Interpretation of Tang and Song Ci), which is a very profound insight. But in the artistic description of this article, it should be that Baizhou really exists in the middle of the river, not figuratively, imaginatively and generally, but actually. You can see this continent at a glance just by looking at the Wangjiang Tower, but you were eager to see the ship at that time and didn't see the mainland. Qian Fan passed away, which is very sad. Jiangzhou remains the same. If you don't think about it, you won't feel heartache!

Ci is an artistic form that pays attention to the poet's subjective lyricism. This poem is sincere, vivid and natural, without any pretense or words against one's will. Building head, sail, oblique light, river, and small continent, these unrelated objective beings, and women's pain and disappointment from expecting to return home to "heartbroken Baipingzhou" are complex changes in the emotional expression of these characters. Through ingenious artistic conception, the writer made them into a seamless artistic image. The writer's thoughts and feelings are like a bridge, which connects these scenes with the characters, permeates the scene description and character activities, and becomes an organic artistic whole, making the cold buildings, sails, water and mainland seem to have temperature and flesh-and-blood life and become affectionate; Integrate scattered and isolated scenic spots into an artistic picture with internal logical connection; Make the external performance and internal psychological activities of the characters perfectly and uniformly displayed. This is the resentment and hatred, blood and tears of the homesick woman in real life, which deeply touched the writer; In these seemingly calm words, the writer's sincere and warm heart is beating.

This poem, like a beautiful small axis landscape, has no surging waves in the river on the screen, only a helpless sigh. Even the afterglow of the sunset lacks a solemn meaning, and there is a nameless sadness and resentment hovering. There are also buildings on the riverside, small sails, long flowing water and distant continents, all of which are fascinating and intriguing, with a beautiful taste and an artistic conception of blending scenes. This poem, seemingly quiet, is full of affection in understatement, ups and downs, and it is "heavy pen" if it is not hard.

Many people write about women's thoughts, which can be said to be a "hot topic", but this poem is unique and distinctive. This is also a feminine theme, but this poem is not feminine and has a positive, healthy and simple artistic conception. In the warm words with gorgeous "flower" breath, this poem can be said to be sincere, beautiful, natural and unique.

Third, more leaks, jade furnace incense.

Tang dynasty: Wen

Jade furnace incense, red wax tears, partial according to painting hall Qiu Si. The eyebrows are thin, the eyes are thin, the clouds are residual, and the night is long and the pillow is cold.

Buttonwood tree, it is raining in the middle of the night, and the hobby that never leaves is bitter. A leaf, a sound, empty footsteps fall into the light.

translate

The jade stove spits smoke, the red candle drops tears, and the swaying light and shadow reflect the sadness of the gorgeous house.

Her moth eyebrows have faded, her sideburns are messy, and she can't sleep at night, only her pillow is cold.

The plane tree outside the window was wet by the cold rain in the middle of the night, whether she was sad for leaving or not.

Drop by drop, the rain pounded on the plane leaves and fell on the deserted stone steps until dawn.

This word can arouse people's wide interest, mainly in the following two points: sincere and sincere, nice to listen to.

The so-called sincerity mainly includes two aspects. On the one hand, the work itself is full of deep feelings and can touch people's hearts; On the other hand, it is realistic and unpretentious. Of course, the so-called true feelings are not necessarily the feelings born by the author from the facts he has experienced. Similar experiences and strong singing can produce true feelings, not to mention the author's "boudoir voice". According to records, Wen not only had contacts with some prostitutes in brothels, but also became close friends with women in the late Tang Dynasty, exchanging songs with each other. In my contacts with these women, I naturally have some understanding and sympathy for their unfortunate experiences. Therefore, he wrote the so-called brothel love story; The state of being free from vulgar tastes.

The second feature of this word is that it is easy to sing and pleasant to listen to. Wen is proficient in temperament, only saying that he can "play the notes one by one, which is a kind word." As far as this word is concerned, although its aria has long been lost and cannot be restored, it is still a masterpiece from the perspective of lyrics. The vitality of the word "nature" is not only manifested in the rhyme and rhythm, but mainly lies in the author's natural and accurate description of women's unique thinking mentality through the change of writing angle. The lingering light smoke written in the last part is the external classic of the protagonist's thought, and the "red wax" in tears is only a symbol of thinking about women themselves. The three sentences in Mei Cui describe the true feelings of the subject, and it is this unique perspective and true feelings that deepen the lyrical thickness of the words.

If the first paragraph is written about intuition and vision, then the second paragraph is from reality to emptiness to hearing. This transformation naturally shifts people's attention from the perception of portraits to the observation of their inner world. The sound of autumn rain not only hit the plane tree, but also seemed to hit the homesick woman's heart. "It is the only pure lyric sentence in the whole word", but it is not a vague expression of parting, but a heartfelt complaint against the ruthless autumn rain and a feeling of the scenery of the phoenix tree. This not only skillfully sets off the desire for women, but also completes the transformation from seeing "reality" to listening to "emptiness" in the structure of words, and the combination of reality and reality has reached a perfect level. In other words, the scene blends together and the upper and lower chapters are integrated. However, if the whole word ends its complaint about "leaving love" in this way, it may give people a sense of exposure, which is inconsistent with the style of ci that has always been known for its compactness and vagueness. In China's poetics, there is a metaphor of saying nothing, but everything is romantic. With such a beautiful landscape word as "Empty steps dripping water", the article turns out the "feelings of separation" that homesick women can't get rid of and tell, without hurting other words, but it receives a more vivid and profound artistic effect than simply expressing feelings of separation, thus leaving a very rich imagination space, which is the charm of this word.
