Li Qingzhao (March 13, 1084 - circa 1155), known as Yi'an Jushi, was a Han Chinese, a native of Jinan, Qi Zhou (present-day Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province). She was a Song Dynasty poetess, a representative of the Wanjiao school of poetry, and known as the "First Talented Woman of Ancient Times".
Li Qingzhao was born into a family of scholars, early life is good, his father Li Gefei collection of books is very rich, she was a child in a good family environment to lay the foundation of literature. After marrying, she and her husband, Zhao Mingcheng***, devoted themselves to the collection and organization of paintings, calligraphy and goldsmiths. When the Jin soldiers entered the Central Plains, she lived in the south and was in a lonely situation. In the early part of his life, he wrote about his leisurely life, and in the later part of his life, he lamented his life, and his mood was sentimental.
Formally, he made good use of the technique of white description, opened up his own way, and his language was clear and beautiful. He emphasized the concordance and elegance of words, and put forward the idea that words are "another family", opposing the use of poetry and literature as a method of writing words. He was able to write poems, but not many of them have survived. Some of his poems are very generous, and they are different from his style of writing.
There is a collection of writings by Yi An Jushi, Yi An Words, which has been lost. Later, there are "Soyu word" series. Today there is Li Qingzhao set of school notes.
Expanded Information:
Li Qingzhao was a poet and a good writer, and she was even better at words. Li Qingzhao's words, known as "Yi'an Words" and "Shuyu Words", were named after her name and collection. Li Qingzhao's words were known as "Yi'an Lyrics" and "Shuyu Lyrics", named after her name and collection. According to the compilations of the present generation, about 45 of her words have been handed down to the present day, and more than 10 others are doubtful. Her "Soyu Lyrics" is both male and marvelous. She not only had profound literary training, but also had a bold creative spirit. In general, the content of her creative work is characterized by the changes in her life during the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, with different features in the earlier and later periods.
Pre-period: The first period truly reflected her life in the bosom and her thoughts and feelings, and the subject matter was concentrated on the writing of natural scenery and parting lovesickness.
Later: mainly expresses her feelings of sadness and nostalgia. It expresses his own heavy sorrow, loneliness and melancholy in the lonely life.
Li Qingzhao's early words more truly reflect her life in the bosom and thoughts and feelings, the subject matter is focused on writing natural scenery and parting thoughts. For example, the two songs of "Dream Order" are lively and beautiful, with new and meaningful language. The words "Remembering the Blowjob on the Phoenix Terrace", "A Cut of Plum" and "Drunken Flower Yin" express her deep feelings for her husband by depicting her lonely life and expressing her love for him, with twists and turns and a clear, handsome and sparse style.
While most of her words describe a lonely life and express melancholy feelings, her love for nature can often be seen in them, and her pursuit of a better love life is frankly revealed. This is a woman writer's hand, compared to the "Flower School" endorsement of the body of the words of the girl's grievances to be much more valuable.
Li Qingzhao's words after the South China Sea were also very different compared to the previous period. After the country broke up and the family died, the political risk and personal life of all kinds of tragedy, so that her spirit is very painful, so her words have changed from the early years of the beautiful, bright, and full of bleak, low tone, mainly express the sad times and nostalgia for the old and nostalgia and mourning for the death of the feelings.
She often missed her hometown in the Central Plains in her displaced life, such as "Bodhisattva Barbarian" wrote "where is the hometown, forget unless drunk", "Butterfly Lovers" wrote "empty dreams of Chang'an, recognize the Chang'an Road", which showed her deep nostalgia for the lost north. She was more in love with her old life than ever before. She was even more fond of her past life, such as the famous slow lyrics "Yongyoule", recalling the old days of Beijing and Luoyang in the "full bloom of Zhongzhou", and the "Tune of Mantingfang", recalling the "victory and appreciation" of the year in "The Grass Pond".
She fully expressed her heavy sorrow in her lonely life in her words, such as "Wuling Spring" by writing the sentiment of "things are different" and "Sounding Slow" by writing the situation of "searching and searching, cold and quiet, miserable and sad", using superimposed phrases to express her own uncontrollable, indescribable "sorrow".
This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world.
Another example is the sadness of the "Qing Ping Le" in "This year's corner of the sea and the end of the world, Xiaoxiao sideburns," and the mourning mood of the "Lone Geese" in "The Lone Geese", which are all generated on the basis of the country's collapse, the lonely and miserable life, so this part of her lyrics is precisely the artistic summary of the misery of the era and the unfortunate destiny of the individual.
