I once chased the east wind to the dance feast, and traveled to the spring garden to break my heart.
How can I get to the clear fall day, when the sun and the cicadas are already in the air?
"Willow" is a poem of seven poems. Among the five poems titled "Willow" by Li Shangyin, this poem is the one with the most profound meaning. According to Qing Feng Hao, "Yuxi Sheng Poetry Collection Notes," this poem is "the first to undertake the Dongchuan fate, the pseudo-objects in the name of grief," that this poem is the Xuanzong Dazhong five years (851) mourning casualties of his wife, to take care of the funeral, went to the Dongchuan Festival Minister of the Zizhu, for the Liu Zhongying political first reach and then trapped in the encounters and composed. Ye onion qi "Li Shangyin poetry collection commentary" criticized Feng Haozhi said: "Liu refers to Liu Zhongying, is too conclusive", "look at the mood so devastating, of course, is the mourning after the later works, but there is no way to determine for a particular year". Throughout the poem, compared to the above two, Ye's longer. I thought this poem is really aria, self-injury emaciated works.
The outstanding artistic feature of this poem is the use of metaphor and symbolism throughout the writing style, to the willow self-commentary, and melt the willow and the poet's ego in one; and where the pen, sentence after sentence of the willow, but none of the words directly write the willow; sentence after sentence of the people, but none of the words clearly and really write to the poet's ego. It can be said that the poem is a chiseling of empty strokes, based on the virtual writing of feelings, the use of generalized writing without the main sentence, resulting in the artistic effect of being as if it were separate, but also objects and people, but also the scenery and feelings, the meaning of the deep and gentle. The first clear this point, for the analysis of this poem, understanding, it will be easy to grasp.
The first two lines of the willow spring breeze dance, write the poet's youth into the soil and first, complacent scene. These two lines are actually an inverted structure, selected from the Kyoto Chang'an Leyouyuan spring dance feast scene, describing and the first earth son of the party to celebrate the appreciation, and a "had" word lead to trace the meaning of the prosperity of the past. In order to highlight the willows chasing the east wind, the poet breaks the conventional logic of prose narration, and begins to seize the dynamic imagery of the spring willows drooping and fluttering with the wind to focus on the description. The first two lines of poetry scene selection and collocation, as if the use of montage in modern film art: the last sentence captures the willow by the east wind, whisking dance feast two from the virtual into the real details of the close-up type of lens shift, layer by layer to deepen the description of the willow of the spring breeze, whisking dance enchanting posture; the poet put aside the general objective description, and the use of anthropomorphic writing style, a "by the The word "by", so that the long willow seems to become a spiritual life, chasing the warm east wind, fluttering in the gorgeous dance before the feast. In this way, the first sentence of the opening will be the spring willow's thriving and dancing by the wind dynamic imagery, made the most hearty description, and the "dance feast" on the song and dance dancing intertwined into a lively scene, giving a strong impression. The next line moves from the close-up image of the willow detail to the panoramic bird's-eye view and tour of Leyouyuan. The poem uses generalized words to point out that the place of the song and dance banquet was on the Leyouyuan at the Qujiang River in the south of Chang'an City. The terrain there is spacious, carved pools and pavilions, and it has been a resort for aristocrats and ladies since the Han and Tang dynasties. Every year in the first month of the first, March 3, September 9, Chang'an ladies have to visit, gathering, so that the traffic congestion, quite spectacular. This poem seems to have nothing to do with the willow, in fact, is a broken meaning even, one of the "spring" word, for the spring willow all over the garden of the sights of coloring glory; and "broken heart day" three words, it is more written out of the green willow willow drooping spring and flourishing wonderful, but also added to the spring that mesmerizing, love, broken heart, look at the pinned. The love of the broken heart, look at the soul of the charming style. Then, in this Leyouyuan's spring dance feast, people will naturally think of a poet's ego, he is a member of the party, celebrate the reward, and the spirited and the first scholars, however, the author will be the poet's ego fade away, dissolve or hidden in the main body of the poem's imagery - broken hearted spring garden, by the wind of the willows dancing behind, greatly deepening the conceptualization of the poem ingenuity, and the author will be a poet. This deepens the ingenuity and depth of the poem's conception. In conclusion, from the analysis of the above two lines, we can see a picture of the broken hearted scenery of the spring willow dance feast in Beijing, and through this two-layered scene of motion and static, we can see the scene of the willow's glory and luxuriantness, which figuratively conveys the poet's enthusiasm for career advancement and smug self-confidence that he had glowed in his early years when he was awarded the first degree of bachelor's degree. At that time, he once cheered "Who else will open a shortcut to the blue sky?" (Shang Yu Xin Kai Road), revealing his optimistic fantasies about a bright future. The words "by the east wind" and "up to the blue sky" accurately describe the poet's mindset and ambition at that time.
The last two lines borrow the willow of the autumn decay, the sound of cicadas in the slanting sun, write the poet due to fall into the vortex of the party dispute, the political repeatedly ostracized, resulting in his lifelong career, the tragedy of the haggard, downtrodden. The spring breeze of the scholar and the first but as a flash in the pan, like the spring willow of the glory, will soon be destroyed by the winds of autumn. The phrase "clear autumn" describes the coldness and sparseness of late autumn. "How to be willing" three words, is the willow of the situation of the sadness of the deep qu qu speculation, is the poet touches the feelings, things I feel the same inner monologue! "How to be willing", how to be willing, how to be willing! Behind this cross-examination of the tonneau, hidden behind the obvious is no matter how also refused, is no matter how also absolutely unwilling to willingly heh! Conveyed the willow from the former east wind dance and fell to the decline of the fall of the pathos and inequality. In another of his poems, entitled "Willow," he says, "For the fragrance of the brush by the bridge, I have never dared to take up the flow of light." As the poem we are discussing says, "I once chased the east wind to brush the dance feast," all praising the willow's beautiful and natural talent. Imagine, the willow is not born rotten, ugly things, born natural beauty, for the spring to add a "broken" wonderful scenery, but do not dare to show off, proud of the world, why will suffer this bleak, zero fall? Poet for the willow empty beauty of the fragrance of the talent, but by the autumn wind destroyed the situation, extremely sympathetic and pity, expressed the poet's unrecognized talent, wasted years of grief and indignation. In this poem, the poet's sorrowful feelings and the willow's bleak feelings have been fused into one, focusing on the expression of feelings; the next line of the poem is turned into the scene depiction, sketched out the autumn cold dusk moment of the scene: "has brought the slanting sun and with the cicadas," the setting sun, the slanting sun a touch, a few wisps of bleak residual light hanging in the sparse branches of the willow, in the late twilight of the time of the slowness, but also In this moment of late twilight depression, and sent out the autumn cicadas hanging high on the branches of a burst of mournful hiss. How much deep resentment and sorrow is there in this scene? What is so unbearable, what makes the heart palpitate and move heh! Through the depiction of this willow twilight scene, profoundly expressed the poet scribbled, emaciated late injury and sinking pain.
The outstanding artistic features of this poem, in addition to the previously mentioned, it is worth noting that: First, before and after the contrast, the structure of the art of the anti-drop. The whole poem is composed of before and after the two cuts of the prosperity and decline, positive and negative scenery and feelings, thus showing the main idea of the poem. The first two lines are written in glory, and the last two lines are written in decline, with today's "clear autumn day" reflecting the former "broken hearted days", with today's "slanting sun" cicadas reflecting the former "spring garden" "spring garden" and "spring garden". Spring Garden" "East Wind", constituting the contrast between the warmth of spring and the bleakness of autumn, in order to strengthen the poet's self-inflicted devastation and depression. As Yang Shen "Shengan Poetry" quoted the Song Dynasty Luling Chen Mou "Poetry" cloud: "the day before yesterday, the spring breeze dance feast, how rich; today the slanting sun cicadas, how bleak." It gives people a feeling of sadness that "if the trees are like this, how can people be embarrassed". Specifically, the first and last sentence structure is basically the same, both with the imaginary word (had, has) lead, the next bring out two groups of verb-object structure. This kind of similar structure of the poem gives people a strong feeling of the change of time and the impermanence of glory and pining. In the middle two lines, "the broken hearted sky" and "the clear autumn day" form the transition from spring glory to autumn pining, connecting the two changes of scenes "by the east wind" and "with the slanting sun. "The second is the condensed and subtle language. Secondly, the language is refined and exquisite. In addition to a series of nouns that characterize the poem's environment and seasons, the clever combination and embellishment of verbs and imaginary words play an important role in lyricism. For example, the first line "had chased" two words, bring out the memory of the past, expanding the time and space of the poem, meaning, for the feelings of the twists and turns, downward momentum, the middle of the "how willing to" cross-examination, with the thought of the twists and turns, constituting the scene and the mood of the twists and turns and back and forth, showing the willow and the person's It shows the extreme reluctance and unwillingness of the willows and people, but also the pathos of the inexorable; to the concluding sentence "has brought", "and bring", layer by layer rendering, it pushes the poet's feelings to the limit, and it flows out in an unusually bad tone. Ji Yun, "Yuxi Sheng Poetry" said: "four lines of one breath, flexible writing", "only three or four false words to turn, cold call and hot call, leisurely strings outside the voice, do not have to write a word". The theory is extremely.
