The east wind is curling up and flooding the corridor with light, and the fragrant mist and moon are turning the corridor.
It is feared that the night is deep and the flowers go to sleep, so burn a high candle to illuminate the red makeup.
This poem was written in the Yuanfeng three years (1080 AD), Su Shi was relegated to Huangzhou (present-day Huanggang, Hubei) during the period. The first two sentences of the environment, the last two sentences written about the love of flowers. Entitled "Begonia", but the beginning of the pen does not depict Begonia, this is a twisted pen. The phrase "the east wind curls up" describes the blowing of the spring wind, and it is used in the sentence "curling up in the autumn wind" in "Chu Rhetoric - Nine Songs - Lady Xiang". "Chongguang" refers to the growing spring light, with a "pan" word, living to write the warmth of spring, which creates momentum for the blooming of begonias. The second sentence side write begonias, "fragrant mist airy" write begonias burst of fragrance in the dense mist diffuse open, refreshing. "Moon turn corridor", the moon has turned over the corridor over there, can not shine this begonia; imply that the night is deep, people do not sleep, of course, you can also read a layer of metaphor: at the remoteness of the rivers and lakes, do not meet the king's favor.
"Fear that the night is deep and the flowers are asleep", this line is written in a crazy, is the key line of the poem. This sentence is a twist, write the mindset of flower-appreciators. When the moonlight can no longer illuminate the beauty of begonias, the poet was full of compassion: begonias are so gorgeous, how can we bear to let her alone in the darkness of the dimness of the darkness? This accumulates a season's efforts and quietly blooming flowers, actually no one to appreciate, will not let her too sad and disappointed? At the end of the night, I naturally could not sleep in the solitude; the flowers were so lonely and cold that they wanted to go to sleep, so how could I spend this long night alone? Can not, can listen to the sound of the flowers blooming, only I; can accompany me to walk with my eternal night mind, only this lonely begonia!
A "fear" wrote out my unbearable loneliness and loneliness of the torment of the birth of the worry, alarmed feelings, but also hidden my desire to spend the night with the flowers **** obsession. A "only" word polarized the flower lover's infatuation, and now he is full of only the bright smile of the flowers, the rest of the unpleasantness can be written off for the time being: this is a kind of "forgetfulness of self", "selflessness "The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night.
The last sentence of the more advanced layer, the feelings of love flowers to a pole. "Therefore" is a reference to the word "only fear" above, containing the meaning of deliberate, showing the poet's love for begonias. This line uses Tang Xuanzong to Yang Guifei drunken appearance for "begonia sleep not enough" allusion, turn to flower metaphor, point into the chanting, natural no trace. "Burning high candles" remotely following the above "moon corridor", this is a wonderful contrast, the moonlight seems to be too jealous of the blossoming begonias bright, so mean and unforgiving, refused to give her a side of the stage to show their colors; then let me use the high burning red candles, for her to dispel the darkness of the long night! Then let me use the red candle to drive away the darkness of this long night for her! The poet's chivalry and generosity can be seen here. The words "illuminate the red makeup" echo the three words "the flower sleeps away" in the previous line, and extremely write the delicate and charming Begonia. The words "burn" and "shine" are written on the surface of "my" love and care for flowers, but in fact, they can not help but reveal some of the depreciation of the life of depression. He wanted to "play with things" (enjoy flowers) in the pain of transcendence, even if it is only a moment of transcendence or good. Although the flowers bloomed, a step towards decay, although the high spirit of the flower is far from the reality of the soil, but he would like to live this kind of self-contained, self-enjoyment of the positive state of mind, and who can hinder it?
The whole poem is shallow in language and deep in meaning. The Qing Dynasty poet Cha Shenxing said: "This poem is extremely popular mouth to appreciate, but not Mr. old state." When writing this poem, although the poet has already passed the age of confusion, but this poem does not give a person decadent, atrophied gas, from the "east wind", "Chongguang", "fragrant mist", "high candle", "high candle", "high candle", "high candle", "high candle", "high candle", "high candle", "high candle", "high candle", "high candle", "high candle". From the "east wind", "Chongguang", "fragrant mist", "high candle", "red makeup", these bright imagery we can clearly feel the poet's optimism, dashing mind.
