The red lotus root is fragrant and the jade woven mat is autumn. The moon is full in the west tower
Li Qingzhao
The moon is full in the west tower.
Who sent the brocade letter from the clouds? When the geese returned, the moon was full in the west tower.
Flowering is a very important part of the process, but it's also a very important part of the process. I've been thinking about you for a long time, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do anything about it.
There is no way to get rid of this love, only under the eyebrows, but on the heart.
Written after Qingzhao and her husband, Zhao Mingcheng, were far away from each other, this is a masterly piece of parting words, which contains the author's deep feeling of not being able to bear parting.
The first line of the poem, "red lotus root and jade woven mat in autumn", leads the whole piece. The first half of the line, "red lotus root and jade woven mat in autumn", describes the outdoor scenery, and the second half of the line, "jade woven mat in autumn", describes the indoor objects, which play the role of coloring the season of clear autumn. The first half of the sentence is about the outdoor scene, and the second half is about the indoor objects. The whole sentence has a clear and beautiful coloring, and the imagery is not only portraying the surrounding scenery, but also highlighting the feelings of the lyricist. The mood is cool and ethereal, with a fairy-like aura. Flowers blossom and fall, is not only a natural phenomenon, but also a symbol of the sadness and happiness of the personnel; pillows and mats cool, is not only the touch between the skin, but also the inner feelings of the desolate solitude. The first sentence for the whole word set a beautiful tone of lyricism.
The next five lines write about the things the writer does, the scenes he touches, and the feelings he develops during the day from day to night. The first two lines, "Lightly unclothed, alone on the orchid boat," is written in the daytime on the water canoeing, with the word "alone" to imply the situation, secretly teasing the feelings of separation. The following sentence "who sends a brocade letter in the clouds" is a clear description of the suspense after parting. The next two lines, "When the geese return, the moon is full in the west tower", form a kind of scenery of the eyes broken and mesmerized. According to the order, it should be when the moon is full, go up to the west tower, look at the clouds, see the returning geese, and think about who sent the brocade letter. The word "who" naturally alludes to Zhao Mingcheng. But the moon is full, but people are not round; geese back, no brocade book, so there is "who send" sigh. Said "who sends", can also be known as no one to send also. Because the lyricist misses the traveler's whereabouts and hopes for the arrival of the brocade book, so he looks at the cloudy sky from afar to bring out the reverie of the geese's foot to pass on the book. And this look at the end of the world, God outside the elephant thoughts and reveries, all the time in the heart of the lyricist haunted.
The sentence "Flowers from the drift of the water from the flow" carries on from the previous to the next, the meaning of the word is continuous. It is a scene, but also a comparison. The scene of the flowers falling from the water, is far from the upper section of the "red lotus root fragrance residue", "alone on the orchid boat" two sentences in line; and its metaphor. Life, years, love, and parting give a person a bleak and helpless hatred.
The next piece of the direct lyric, with the inner alone way to unfold.
The two lines of "one kind of lovesickness, two idle sorrows", while writing about the pain of lovesickness and the depth of idle sorrows, they think of each other from themselves, knowing that this lovesickness and idle sorrows are not one-sided, but two-sided, in order to see the two hearts of each other. These two lines are also a supplement and derivation of the previous section's "in the clouds" sentence, stating that even though the sky is long and the water is far away, and the brocade letter will be in the future, the feelings of love between the two places will not be the same at all, which proves that both sides love each other y and trust each other y. These two lines are both separate and united. Taken together, from "a kind of lovesickness" to "two idle sorrows", it is the separation and deepening of the two feelings. Its split, indicating that the love is one and two, two and one; its deepening, it is said that the love has been from the "thoughts" and into "sadness". The next sentence "there is no way to eliminate this feeling", immediately after these two sentences. It is precisely because people are already in two places, and the heart is already covered with deep sorrow, that it is of course difficult to get rid of this feeling, and it is "just under the brow, but on the heart".
"There is no way to get rid of this feeling, but it is only under the brow, but on the head of the heart." The three lines are the most praised by the world. Here, "frown" and "heart" correspond to each other, "only under" and "but on" into ups and downs, the structure of the statement is not only very neat, but also the expression technique. The structure of the phrases is very neat, and the expression is also very skillful, which is very attractive in art. Of course, these two four-word sentences are only an organic part of the whole piece, not a single standout. It depends on the whole piece of foil, especially with the front of the other two equally ingenious four-word sentence "a kind of lovesickness, two idle sorrows" before and after the contrast, and complement each other.
