Waiting for you, in the rain, in the rain that makes rainbows
Cicadas sinking, frogs rising
A pool of red lotus like red flames, in the rain
It's the same whether you come or not, it feels like
Every lotus is like you
Especially in the dusk, in such a light rain
Eternity, moment, eternity Shakra, Eternity
Waiting for you, outside of time, inside of time, waiting for you
In Shakra, in Eternity
If your hand were in mine, at this moment
If your fresh scent
Were in my nostrils, I'd say, "Little Lover
No. This hand should be picking lotuses, in the Wu Palace
This hand should be <
Shake a laurel oar in a magnolia boat
A star hangs from the eaves of the Science Museum
An earring like a pendant
The Swiss watch says it's seven o'clock
Suddenly you're coming
The red lotus after the rain is fluttering, you're coming
Like a little ditty
From a love story you're coming
From Jiang Bai's story you're coming
From Jiang Bai's story you're coming
From a love story you're coming
From Jiang Bai's story you're coming. p>
From the words of Jiang Baishi, rhyming, you come
In the appreciation of modern poetry, especially lyric poetry, there must be an overall emotional tone, whether it is a sense of sadness and happiness, because of the incident, or the majestic and expansive, generous speech, are considered to be the emotional tone of the poem. The emotional tone of a poem plays a very important role in the expression of a poem's emotion. First of all, let's look at the first line of "Waiting for you, in the rain": "Waiting for you, in the rain, in the rain that makes rainbows", just based on the word "rainbow", we can see the emotional tone of the whole poem. When it comes to rain, the first thing that comes to mind is that rain will moisturize the earth and wash away the dirt, but few people will think of the rainbow that appears after the rain has cleared. The word "rainbow" stands for beauty and fantasy.
The next sentence: "The sound of cicadas sinks, the sound of frogs rises" is a clear use of auditory description. First of all, the time when the sound of cicadas and frogs alternates is when evening and night meet, and the season is obviously summer. So what are we usually doing at this time of day? Maybe we are anxiously stuck in the traffic on the way home from work, or maybe we are joyfully preparing dinner at home. But very few people can be calm and quiet in listening to the rain, indicating that the author's mood at this time is very leisurely, quiet mind. "A pool of red lotuses like flames in the rain." This line uses Yu Guangzhong only two imagery will be "red lotus" compared to "red flame" red on red, it gives the reader in the visual presentation of a warm scene.
The image of the red lotus, red lotus since ancient times by India as a noble flower. The flower language of red lotus is: perseverance, calmness, purity and love at all costs. Lyricist Liu Xiangchuan once made "red lotus": "Ducklings outside the long bridge, the mountain color building rail alone to see, I am in the lotus boat. Waiting for the slanting sun to return in the evening, only to realize that the lotus is too bleak." The author compares the woman he wonderfully thinks of to a lotus flower, and even more highly praises her. "Especially across the dusk, across such fine rain." With the auditory and visual onslaught, it starts to get a little bit dotted and hazy. The image I can fantasize is that of a man who has been busy writing all afternoon, only to look up and realize that a drizzle has fallen outside. So he took off his glasses, looked out the window at the red lotus, listened to the sound of cicadas and frogs, and calmly waited for his beloved to appear.
The beginning of the next stanza is very interesting "Eternity, ksana, ksana, eternity." Whether it is a moment or an eternity, it is a very abstract concept of time, which can not be directly quantified by specific values, we only know that the moment is very short, and the eternity is very long. In Su Shi's Red Cliff Fugue, there is a line that reads, "Sending a mayfly to heaven and earth is as small as a chestnut in the ocean. I mourn the shortness of my life, and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River." The general meaning is: people and the vast universe is too small, just like a drop in the ocean, and a person's life of 70 to 80 years down relative to the Yangtze River's endless is too short, just like a moment. "Waiting for you, in time, outside of time, waiting for you". "I am waiting for my beloved girl, and we have agreed to meet at a specific time, so this is a specific point in time during which I will wait for you. Of course, in addition, in the long days ahead, I will also wait for you. It's the same as the lyrics "I love you for 10,000 years", which is a way to express your love beyond time.
From the point of view of historical materialism, the moment of eternity is a mutual antithesis and unity, "in the moment" and "in eternity". Here Yu Guangzhong actually want to express about the passage of time fast and life is short sentiment? Or is he trying to express his love for the eternity of the girl? It is up to the reader to discuss.
"If your fragrance, in my nostrils, I would say, little lover." Here again, the reader's olfactory appetite is fully mobilized. I have to say, Yu Guangzhong really feel master. The following two lines quote the allusion: "No, this hand should pick lotus, in the Wu Palace. This hand should shake a laurel paddle, in the Mulan boat" Wu Palace in Suzhou, is the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu Fu-chai built for Xi Shi Pavilion Palace. The term "Wu Palace" is attributed to Bai Juyi's "Memories of Jiangnan", "Memories of Jiangnan, the memories of Wu Palace. Wu wine a cup of spring bamboo leaves, Wu Wa double dance drunken hibiscus. Sooner or later we meet again?" The beauty in Su Shi's "Red Cliff Fugue" should be "Guizhao Ruolan Oar, striking the sky and going back to the stream of light. I am looking at the beauty on the other side of the sky." According to Yu Guangzhong, "My beloved girl should be comparable to Xishi in Wu Palace and better than the beauty of the orchid oar. The author's fantasized beauty from the Eastern Jin Dynasty across the region to the Tang Dynasty and finally back to reality, landing on a perfect oriental classical female image. It is like the girl holding an oil-paper umbrella and wandering in the long green stone alley in Dai Wangshu's "Rainy Lane".
? So did the author return to reality after fantasizing for so long? "A star hangs over the flying eaves of the Science Museum, earrings in general. The Swiss watch said it was seven o'clock." The sentence seems abrupt, the turn is quick, and all at once the reader is jolted across from the Cailian Wu Palace, from the Guizhao Orchid Paddle, in a violent stagger. The stars hanging on the eaves of the science museum, indicating that the night has arrived, the sky is already dark, the stars are out of the Swiss watch shows the time is seven o'clock in the evening. Science Museum, Swiss watch is the product of reality, the ancient world is not, then the reader reads here, naturally, with the author to stop fantasizing, back to reality.
Finally, the girl who waited so long came out. "Suddenly you come, step after the rain of red lotus, flutter, you come. Like a small order, from a love story you come. From the words of Jiang Baishi, with rhyme, you come." Usually when we praise a girl's good looks, we would say, "You are so beautiful, just like walking from a painting". But Yu Guangzhong is unique in that he praises a girl's beauty as a word with a rhyme, as a beauty with a pattern and a flutter. Yu Guangzhong's poem for us to portray a hazy female beauty, fully mobilized the author's imagination, so that readers are like looking at the love allusion, it seems to be in front of us, but can not see and can not be touched, and thus unfold unlimited reverie.
