Full of metaphorical "flowers thank the water flow" imagery, leading to the story to be narrated: the beauty of the "natural, chrysanthemum quality, orchid heart", there is a beautiful face, but unfortunately suffering from malignant diseases, the disease body, the medicine used up, do not see any improvement, and finally! The fragrance of death, gone without a trace. The next piece is still using Hongdu Taoist canon, write for the woman's memorial. The good old days and good scenes, the joyful songs and laughter, are like the goddess of Wushan, indistinct and nowhere to be found.
The outburst of emotion and the shock to the soul that it caused in these two works seems to have been diluted and dissolved by the author's narration of the process of the heroine's illness and death.
Liu Yong's description of the deceased suggests that he was in no way mourning his wife or his concubine. The words "orchid heart", "lingering body", "fragrant room", "duck coverlet", etc., are Liu Yong's customary words to describe courtesans; and "The night of the moon and wind, a few former traces of the old", "the most bitter is, good scenery and good days, honor before the song and laugh, empty thought of the sound of the past" clearly shows that the deceased beauty is the woman in the moon and wind field. And "delicate soul and charming spirit", also never used to describe the deceased wife and even the deceased concubine, can only be used to describe the beauty of the pleasure grounds. This may be the fundamental reason why Liu Yong's two eulogies are not so "moving".
Deep courtyard, cool stone table, still the familiar wine pot, still the delicate cups and lanterns;
Liu Yong sat on the stone bench, caressing the cups and lanterns, and saw the object of thoughts.
The cups remain the same, but the person is missing, not only from the sadness, two lines of tears rustling down.
Remembering three years ago, went out on a long trip, his wife did not want to give up, set up a small drink here to practice, with a lot of love.
Then the young, the spirit of splendor, only anxious to get out of the door, a glimpse of the world's beauty,
The whole did not pay attention to his wife, "you must go, and early return, not to be ashamed of the heart of the concubine," the advice.
Not long ago, I learned that my wife's health was not good, so I rushed back.
Knocking on the door, open the door is the maiden; into the boudoir, waiting for a long time, still do not see that a "Liu Lang" call.
Look at the courtyard is cold, look at the coffee table dust, and a side of secretly crying maid;
Liu Yong's heart suddenly cooled down a bit, is still back late?
Panicked and ran to the main hall, want to see his wife walking in style, but only to see the large table of eight immortal, conspicuously placed a tablet.
Liu Yong stayed, looking at the tablets, look at each other speechless, covered with tears.
It is still late to come back ah, did not let his wife see his last.
This is the first time I've ever seen my wife in the world, and I've never seen her in the world.
Liu Yong softly sang, raised his glass and drank it down.
When I was a young man, I made a promise with my wife to be with her until the end of my days.
We were so sweet and in love at that time;
How many times in this courtyard, by this stone table, I smiled and drank wine, and you slowly sang;
Singing the crooked lyrics written by me, and dancing the dance music made up by yourself, the qin and the serpent are in harmony, and the fly is accompanied by each other.
How beautiful you were then, and how beautiful you were;
How playful you were then, and from time to time you came to honor me with a cup of strong drink;
Your absolutely beautiful face, even if thousands of dollars to buy you a smile, I have no hesitation, no regrets.
But why is it so easy to die, the youth time is so short!
In the blink of an eye, you'll be lying in bed, and you'll be in a state of decline.
Is it possible that the elixir of the gods is useless? I'm not sure if you're going to be able to keep me, but I'm going to be able to keep you, and I'm going to keep you.
Once upon a time, I vowed to stay with you.
But only in the middle of the road, why have you already left?
Bottle Hairpin!
Bottle hairpin, bottle hairpin, bottle sinking hairpin folding, bottle sinking hairpin folding ah!
Bottle sinking is hard to find again, hairpin folding is hard to reunite, you and I have parted since then, and it is surprisingly hard to see each other again!
Tearful eyes are lost in thought, looking at Zhu Cheng Bi.
Lift up the wine cup and drink wildly;
Shut up the perfumed room and abandon the bedroll forever!
The courtyard is silent, the moon is as cool as water;
The wine cup is still the same, raise the cup alone;
You are no longer there, who will come to drink the cup with me***?
I think your spirit must be by my side, looking at me;
but I can't see you, and I can't get a response from you when I raise my glass, can you dance again?
You are there watching me, but I can only drink alone, recalling your once knitted brows and smile;
The world is so changeable, or a good scene, or a good day, can be flexed between the snap of the fingers, but the people can no longer see each other?
Who's business is it to enjoy the view, the good time and the beautiful scenery of Naihe days, Naihe days ah!
Lift the cup and laugh wildly, tears trickle, a drink.
Lifting his head, he opened his eyes;
Liu Yong looked at the sky, the moon was still full and bright;
Only the clouds around the moon, illuminated by the moonlight, looked like peaks;
Liu Yong looked at the clouds and muttered, "Twelve peaks of Wushan, twelve peaks of Wushan...".
The twelve peaks of Wushan is the place where the beautiful women stayed, where did you go too?
You are there, I'm going to find you, I want to see you one last time.
The twilight clouds are deep, hard to find again;
The soul, the twilight clouds are deep...
