Yu Jia Ao·The new sun in the first month produces Cuiguan
The author Ouyang Xiu Dynasty Song Dynasty
The new sun in the first month produces Cuiguan. The buds and willow lines are still shallow in spring. The curtain weighs thousands and is half rolled. Chi Bingpan. The east wind blows the water and makes the glass soft. It's getting better and I wake up from my drunken eyes. Longmei falls darkly and Fang Ying is broken. On the first day, it is known that there is a long line. The night is short. The dream soul can't help but Zhu Gong is far away.
Poetry analysis:
1. "The new sun in the first month gives birth to Cui Guan."
There are three interpretations of Cui Guan here.
1. We know that ancient music is closely related to solar terms. Jianjia ashes are placed in jade tubes to verify the arrival of solar terms. This is called Jiahui Zhanlu. There are two important solar terms in the first month, the beginning of spring and rain. Especially the beginning of spring often intersects around the first month, covering the beginning of the first month. Therefore, it is the earliest yang energy in spring that corresponds to the green jade tube, making the bright and graceful sound of spring. .
2. The interpretation is: evergreen bamboo, which is a natural instrument material used for music in ancient times. At the beginning of the year, the brightest rays of the sun shine on the bamboo, which is fresh and green.
3. The interpretation is: the writing brush used by literati is a must for scholars to test their writing at the beginning of the year.
These three interpretations are not either/or, but mutually supportive. The first ray of the spring sun in the first lunar month is vibrating. It shines on the ancient Jiahui Zhanlu instrument, on the bamboo forest, and on the brush in the hand. This is the atmosphere of spring, spring is coming.
2. "The buds and willow lines are still shallow in spring."
This is a scene written in early spring. The flowers are in bud and ready to bloom, the willow silk is like green thread, and the leaves have not yet unfolded. This is the first light spring color. But it makes people feel fresh. Everything is cute but not ready yet, but it is already ready to go.
3. "A thousand-heavy curtain is half rolled up."
At this time, the spring cold is still heavy. Although the east wind is soft, the temperature is still low, so thousands of households have not fully opened their doors. The low-hanging warm curtain, but the half-rolled one, can already see the spring breeze entering the house, and people's expectations. Half cold and half warm spring.
4. "The pond is icy, the east wind blows the water and the glass is soft."
The east wind comes in the first month, and the ice on the pond begins to thaw. A beautiful, vivid but visual metaphor is used here, saying that the spring breeze blows on the glaze-like surface of the glacial lake, and it seems that the ice has softened.
This is half-ice and half-open water, with thin ripples, connected with the ice that has not yet melted. Does it have the softness of spring that makes glass soften?
5. "It is getting better and better to sober up the drunken eyes, and the long plum blossoms are falling darkly, and the beauty is broken."
I gradually like to look at the railings to sober up the drunkenness. The long plum blossoms here are falling darkly, not the plum blossoms. Falling, the fragrance of plum blossoms drifts quietly, intermittently. And I don’t know where the plum blossoms are. They are hidden where the drunken eye can’t see them, but I can only smell the fragrance.
Being able to lean on the railing outdoors means it’s certainly not the coldest winter. The slight chill and the crispness of the plum blossoms in early spring are most suitable for those who are out for fun or after a little drunkenness. The air is fresh and the flowers are fragrant.
The plum blossom is the flower of the first month and the flower of early spring, and it is at its peak at this time.
6. "On the first day of the lunar month, it is known that a line is long and the sky is short."
We already know that the first month is here and the day will be a line longer than yesterday, but I still feel that the day is too short. Ah, it will be dusk in a while.
7. "How can the dream soul endure that the Pearl Palace is far away."
What is written here is that he wanted to see plum blossoms, but the day was too short and the night was too long. No matter how much I spend admiring flowers, I always feel that time is short. I want to look for plum blossoms, but because I don’t know the direction and can only identify them by smelling their fragrance, I feel at a loss.
This poem describes the scenery of early spring in the first lunar month, which is fresh and bright. The flowers and willows are beginning to bud, the ice in the pond is thawing, and the plum blossoms are faintly fragrant. Corresponding to the night is the brightness and shortness of the sunlight during the day. He also describes the scenery, and the beautiful sentences and words are fresh and refreshing. The first month of early spring is like this, playful and slightly cold!
