Creation background

This word was written by Li Qingzhao in his early years. Li Qingzhao, who was in JianJian Jingnian (11) and 18 years old, married her former student Zhao Mingcheng. Shortly after marriage, her husband "traveled far away" and she was very lonely. She deeply misses her husband who has traveled far away. In the second year of worshipping Ning (1 103), after the ninth festival, people's yearning for their loved ones was unprecedented, so they wrote this poem and gave it to Zhao Mingcheng.

works appreciation

This word was written by the author after marriage, expressing the feelings of missing her husband on the Double Ninth Festival. Legend has it that after Qingzhao gave this word to Zhao Mingcheng, it provoked Ming's sincerity to live up to expectations, so he didn't see it for three nights and wrote a few words, but he didn't beat Qingzhao's first poem "Drunken Flowers".

Fog clouds will make you sad forever. From morning till night, the sky is a "fog cloud". This gloomy weather is the most depressing. The weather outside is bad, so we have to stay indoors. Forever daytime is generally used to describe summer daytime. This word was written on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It's autumn now, and the days are getting shorter and shorter. Just a poet's psychological feeling. Time has relative significance to happy and sad mental states respectively. In joy, time passes quickly, but in sadness, I feel that the pace of time is so slow. If a person is particularly sensitive to "mist and thick clouds" and is afraid that the day will never end, then her mood will definitely be uncomfortable. Shortly after their marriage, Li Qingzhao separated from her beloved husband Zhao Mingcheng. At this time, she lives alone, so it is no wonder that she feels more and more pain. Although there is no direct expression of sadness here, we can still see the inner anguish of the poetess through this gray "mist and thick clouds". The sentence "Keeping the brain and eliminating the golden beast" is a paraphrase of the indoor scene: she is really bored when she looks at the cigarettes in the incense burner alone. It's the Double Ninth Festival again, and the weather suddenly turns cold. I slept until midnight, and the coolness reflected on my pillow. Compared with the warmth of the boudoir when the couple are reunited, it is really a world of difference. In the last film, there are only a few sentences describing a young woman's anxiety in the boudoir. She went outside, and the weather was terrible; Staying indoors is boring; It is difficult during the day, and it is even more difficult at night; I can't sit still and sleep well. It's really hard to rest. The phrase "Double Ninth Festival" has a profound meaning. The ancients attached great importance to the Double Ninth Festival. On this day, friends and relatives get together to climb mountains, enjoy dogwood and drink chrysanthemum wine. After Li Qingzhao wrote down the loneliness of "nourishing the brain and eliminating the golden beast", it was followed by a sentence of "Double Ninth Festival", which obviously suggested that when the festival was beautiful, her husband was not around and "there was a lack of one person everywhere", so she could not help but call her "I miss my relatives twice during the festival". The word "you" in Double Ninth Festival has a strong emotional color, which prominently expresses her sadness. Followed by two sentences: "Jade pillow gauze kitchen, it's cold in the middle of the night." How do you feel when your husband is not at home, sleeping alone on the jade pillow and sleeping alone on the bedstead? "It's cool in the middle of the night" is not only that the season turns cold, but it has a bleak taste.

The next movie is about chrysanthemum viewing and drinking on the Double Ninth Festival. Watching chrysanthemums with wine was originally a major program of the Double Ninth Festival. Probably for the occasion, Li Qingzhao sat in the house all day, and it was not until the evening that she forced herself to "drink in Dongli". However, this did not alleviate the sadness, but set off a bigger emotional wave in her heart. Chongyang is the Chrysanthemum Festival, and chrysanthemums bloom beautifully. While drinking, she enjoyed the chrysanthemums and dyed them with flowers. However, she can't help feeling hurt. No matter how beautiful and fragrant chrysanthemums are, they can't be given to relatives in different places. In Nineteen Ancient Poems, the phrase "There are sleeves that smell fragrant" has been translated into "The fragrance is full of sleeves, and the road is long and Xiu Yuan is Xi". "Dimfragrance" usually refers to plum blossoms. "The shadows are shallow, and the fragrance floats on the moon at dusk" is a famous sentence of Lin Bu Yongmei, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. "Dimfragrance" here refers to chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemum blooms in Ao Shuang after frost, and its weather vane is similar to plum blossom, implying the poet's noble mind and elegant taste. At the same time, it also reveals the deep regret that "the incense is full of sleeves, and the road is long and its Xiu Yuan is Xi". This is a secret story about her yearning for her husband. She couldn't help it, and she didn't want to drink and enjoy the chrysanthemums, so she hurried back to the boudoir. "Don't forget the soul" means that the wind is getting late, and the west wind blows up the curtains, which makes people feel a chill. Reminiscent of the chrysanthemum that just put wine on the opposite side, the petals of chrysanthemum are slender and the branches of chrysanthemum are thin. While fighting against the wind in Ao Shuang, people feel sad, sad and helpless. People are not as good as chrysanthemums at this time. Taking "people are thinner than yellow flowers" as the conclusion, there are many examples and rich connotations.

From the weather to the golden beast, from the jade pillow gauze kitchen to the chrysanthemum outside the curtain, the poet treats all this with her sad mood, and all of them are painted with a layer of sad feelings.

Flowers and trees are thinner than people, and there are many similar sentences in poems. This is because it is these three sentences, "Immortality, curtain rolling west wind, people are thinner than yellow flowers", which created the lonely realm of late autumn. "Mo Tao is immortal" is a metaphor of "Dongli 89" and "people imitate yellow flowers", which is combined with the overall image of the whole poem. The sentence "curtain rolls west wind" directly exaggerates the environmental atmosphere for the sentence "people are thinner than yellow flowers", which makes people imagine a picture: the beautiful women in the Double Ninth Festival are alone in the fine chrysanthemums in the west wind. With the contrast of seasons and environmental atmosphere, "people are thinner than yellow flowers" has a deeper sustenance, and this sentence can also become a beautiful sentence that has been passed down through the ages.

In Li Qingzhao's ci, the word "Dongli puts wine after dusk", the word "Xu" and the word "wine" all rhyme, which is the so-called "short rhyme hidden in the sentence" in the secret of Yuefu. However, few people who wrote such poems in the Song Dynasty followed suit. The word "wine" should be marked with leaves.

Xia's appreciation of Tang and Song Ci: In poetry, as an epigram, it is generally not easy to take it out. The sentence "people are thinner than yellow flowers" can leave a deep impression on people because it uses metaphors to describe vivid characters and the sentences are arranged properly, which is also one of the reasons. Before this sentence, she first used the phrase "don't die" to lower her voice, and then added a dynamic sentence "the window curtain rolls west wind". Then she took out the epigram that "people are thinner than yellow flowers". The characters didn't appear until the end. This epigram is not isolated, the three sentences are linked together, and the first two sentences revolve around the last sentence, playing the role of green leaves and red flowers. After careful arrangement by the author, it looks like a close-up in a movie, which is very vivid. There is a word "thin" at the end of this word, which comes down to the affection of the whole word. All kinds of scenery descriptions above are to express this spirit, so it can really be called "the eye of the word". In terms of refining characters, Li Qingzhao has another phrase "green and fat, red and thin" in Dream, which is widely read. Here, she said that "people are thinner than yellow flowers", which has never been said before, has its outstanding creativity.

Wu Shi in Tang and Song Dynasties: Li Qingzhao despised Liu Yong's Under the Dust of Ci, which (under the sentence of "Mo Dao") refers to Liu Ci's "clothes are getting wider and wider, and people are gaunt for Iraq", expressing deep yearning. But when I expressed it, I chose the simple and simple chrysanthemum, which is not only the scene of the Double Ninth Festival, but also a symbol of elegant mood. Compared with itself, it is gentle and implicit, without superficial suspicion, which can better reflect the author's different high level and charm.

Liu Naichang: The whole word is to use refined natural language to write a real picture of daily life after artistic processing, thus expressing a person's inner feelings.

Tang Guizhang's A Brief Interpretation of Tang and Song Ci: This poem is affectionate and bitter, and it is appreciated in ancient and modern times. One is a boring scene, and the other is moved by the Double Ninth Festival. Change your head and throw the wine into the night. Finally, because of the thinness of flowers, I touched my thinness, so sad. What is particularly wonderful is the word "Mo Dao", and the sentence "How much leisure do you know?"

Yu Shucheng's Hundred Poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties: At the end, "Mo Tao is not charming, the curtain rolls west, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." At first glance, "the curtain rolls west wind" is dispensable, and the lack of this pen does not seem to hinder poetry. That's not true. The four figures have two images of "curtain roll" and "west wind". "West Wind" strengthens the emotional atmosphere of words with its bleak side, and "rolling curtain" constitutes the connection between indoor and outdoor. Without the "roller blind", "people are thinner than yellow flowers" has become a simple metaphor. With this pen, it shows that when the window curtain rolls west wind, the poet sees the yellow flowers outside the curtain, and because of the sense of things, he generates a voice that expresses "people are thinner than yellow flowers" It is true and natural, not a metaphor of forced pulling when writing words. In addition, the two sentences before and after the word are all about people, and the sentence of "curtain rolling west wind" is inserted in the middle to write the scenery, which also appears to be ups and downs, in line with the poet's emotional rhythm.
