"On the willow tip moon, people meet after dusk." What do you mean?

The moon rose above the treetops of willow trees, and he asked me to pour out my heart together after dusk.

Source of works

It comes from Cha Sheng Zi Yuan Xi written by Ouyang Xiu, a writer in the Song Dynasty.

The first article is about the night in January last year. The first two sentences are about the bustling night of the Lantern Festival, which renders a warm atmosphere for the appearance of lovers below. The latter two sentences blend with each other, writing the scene of lovers' deep affection and love words under the moonlight willow shadow, creating a hazy, quiet and graceful artistic conception. The next movie is about the suffering of lovesickness on January Eve this year. The contrast between "the moonlight is still there" and "I didn't see anyone last year" leads to the heavy sadness of "tears wet my shirt and sleeves in spring" and expresses the poet's love for his former lover.

Creation background

The word is dating. Or three years (1036). The poet missed his second wife, Mrs. Yang.

The first article is about the night in January last year. The first two sentences are about the bustling night of the Lantern Festival, which renders a warm atmosphere for the appearance of lovers below. The latter two sentences blend with each other, writing the scene of lovers' deep affection and love words under the moonlight willow shadow, creating a hazy, quiet and graceful artistic conception. The next movie is about the suffering of lovesickness on January Eve this year. The contrast between "the moonlight is still on" and "I didn't see anyone last year" leads to the heavy sadness of "tears wet the sleeves of the spring shirt" and expresses the poet's deep affection for his former lover.

works appreciation

In the Ming Dynasty, all the works that Xu thought were "absolutely unique" in Yuan Qu were copied from this work, which shows his admiration for the song "Sound Tea Son". This word is simple in language and sad in feelings. It uses two pictures of last year's Lantern Festival and this year's Lantern Festival to express different feelings in the same festival, just like the montage effect in film and television, which runs through different time and space scenes and writes a sad love story of a woman.

Regret for the Past depicts the happy scene of the heroine and her lover visiting the Lantern Festival market last year. "Last year's Lantern Festival, the lights at the flower market were as bright as day." The first two sentences were about the grand occasion of midnight snack last year. The street is very lively, and the lanterns are bright at night, as bright as day. "The moon is at the willow tip, and people meet after dusk." The heroine recalls the sweet scene under the moon agreed with her lover, and the warmth and happiness between lovers overflow on the paper. For example, from the lantern market in the daytime to the willow tip on the moon, the light changes from bright to dark, and their appointed time is "dusk", which is always a sad moment when the sun sets, all suggesting that the heroine's emotional story will develop into tragedy.

Then I wrote "On the Lantern Festival this year", and the heroine was alone in front of the full moon lamp. "This year's Lantern Festival, the moon and lights remain the same." A year later, the scene before us is the same as last year. The full moon is still high in the night sky, and lanterns are still as bright as day. But the sweet and happy time of last year is gone, and the heroine has only infinite acacia in her heart. The reason why I am sad is that I haven't seen anyone last year. The former vows of eternal love have long been forgotten by lovers, but now things have changed, and I can't help but feel sad. Heart-rending acacia turns into tears and soaks clothes. The sentence "Tears on the sleeve of Man Chun's shirt" is a thematic sentence, which fully expresses the heroine's emotions and is full of bitterness, helplessness and endless pain.

The artistic conception of this word is similar to Cui Hu's poem "Jingshi Nancun" in Tang Dynasty, but it is more beautiful than Cui's poem in terms of language and folk songs. The whole word pays attention to the symmetry and consistency of words and deliberately interweaves them. It uses the upper part to write the past and the lower part to write the present. The above four sentences and the following four sentences provide different images to form a strong contrast. Compared with the first sentence of last year's Lantern Festival and this year's Lantern Festival, the second sentence of Flower Market Lights as the Day and the Moon remains unchanged, Shang emphasizes Lantern Festival and Light. But the words "people see after dusk" and "people don't see last year" are the intersection of the fourth sentence in the upper part and the third sentence in the lower part. Although the word "person" overlaps, it shows the existence of "person", the difference between staying and staying, and the ups and downs of feelings from joy to sadness, thus showing the ups and downs of the lyric hero's heart.

Lyrics express the feeling that things are different through the hero's memories of last year and today. It not only writes about the beauty of Iraqis and the sweetness of falling in love that day, but also writes about the disappointment and sadness that Iraqis have not seen today. These words are popular in language and ingenious in conception. The first one was written last year, and the second one was written today. They are both lively and natural folk songs. At the end, the sentence "Tears on Man Chun's shirt and sleeve" fully shows the sadness that things are different and old feelings can't last long. The whole poem has a unique artistic conception, and uses the methods of comparing the past and the present, recalling the past and so on to skillfully express the feeling that things are wrong and people are wrong. The language is plain and meaningful, which effectively expresses the sadness and painful experience of the love encounter that the poet wants to pour out, and embodies the unity of truth, goodness and beauty. The text is short and affectionate, vivid and suitable for reciting, so it is widely circulated.

Famous comments

Xu's Collection of Ancient and Modern Ci: Yuan Qu is said to be unique, but this method was obtained.

Wang Shizhen's "Occasionally Talking about Red Equipment": The girl Zhu, who said in her life that "the Lantern Festival was like a day last year" (the word "raw tea son"), can be found in Ouyang Wenzhong's public collection 13 1 volume, but I don't know why she mistakenly thought it was Zhu's work. Therefore, I suspect that Shu really lost her virtue, and Ji Zi can't be careless.

Lu Yimeng's "Cold and Miscellaneous Knowledge": The word "Late Yuan Night" was written by Ouyang Gong. Later generations mistakenly edited it as heartbroken collection (also recognized by Yuyang Mountain), so they suspected that Zhu was a daughter, and the two were inseparable. According to the word "The Last Yuan Night", it was not written by Zhu, so I believe it.
