Inlaid harp
Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring.
Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun.
A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it.

Jinse, why do you have fifty strings? Every string and paragraph reminds people of the year of Huang Jinhua. My heart is like Zhuangzi, confused by butterfly dreams; Another example is watching the emperor, turning the cuckoo into a cuckoo. Hai Ming Yue Ming, Jiao Ren's tears are pearls. Lantian is sunny and warm, and you can see good jade and good smoke. The feelings of joys, sorrows and sorrows cannot be recalled today, but they have been inadvertently long ago.
The extended material "Jinse" is Li Shangyin's masterpiece, and everyone who loves poetry is happy to sing, which is the most famous. However, this is the most difficult poem to explain. Some people say that it is a love poem for a maid named "Jinse" in Linghu Chu's family; Some people say that it is a mourning poem for the late wife Wang; Some people think that the four poems in the middle can meet the four feelings of appropriateness, complaining, clarity and harmony.
The interpretation of this poem mainly falls into two categories:
First, I think it's a poem mourning his wife Wang, and the first couplet is "respect". I watched Motome play 50 stringed instruments and felt moved by the scene. Zhuan Xu is a metaphor for his wife's death, which is compared with the tears of Zhuang Zhou, become a butterfly and Du Fu. The neckline is "magic", pearls cry for it, and Baoyu is sad for it; The end of the couplet is "love", love is gone, and memory is disconsolate!
Second, it is thought that this is the poet's recollection of the lost years. The first couplet is "Qi", which means fifty years of life and fifty strings of musical instruments; Compared with "bearing", life will come to an end unconsciously; The neckline is "turn", which is a metaphor for talent with pearls and jewels; The end of the couplet is "He", years make people old and everything is melancholy!
