Life is full of joys and sorrows, and life is more often touching and sighing. Flowers blossom and fall, the ebb and flow, will trigger people's feelings; gathering and dispersing dilemmas, not cranes and lonely birds, will also make people feel extremely lonely.
Poets are originally sentimental, but sometimes they can't express their chests directly, so they have to use images such as falling flowers, flowing water, and grievances, wind and rain to euphemistically express their inner anxiety and sorrow. The following is a sharing of two poems by second-rate poets of the Tang Dynasty, which are cleverly conceived, profound, and more thought-provoking.
Two Poems of White Silk (Part 1)
Tang Dynasty: Cui Guofu
Luoyang pear blossoms fall like a thunderbolt, and Heyang peach leaves are revived.
Sitting in the fear of the jade building in the spring, red cotton powder and makeup crying.
Cui Guofu was a Poet of the Sheng Tang Dynasty, and he had close contacts with Li Bai and Meng Haoran. When Du Fu was in Chang'an, he presented the "Three Great Gifts" to the emperor in order to seek a path of advancement, and Cui Guofu praised Du Fu greatly, which made Shisheng quite moved. He was good at expressing the feelings of the palace, and his feelings were gentle, and he was deeply praised by later generations.
Bai Qi Ci is the title of the Lefu poem, which belongs to the "Dance Song Lyrics", and the "White Silk Song" and so on are derived from the White Silk Dance. Heyang, the seat of government is in the west of Mengxian County, Henan. Northern Qi was abolished, and the Sui Dynasty was restored, and its location was on the north bank of the Yellow River, which was an important town on the outskirts of Luoyang. PanYue of the Western Jin Dynasty was once the Heyang Ling, planting peach and plum flowers all over the place.
In the warm spring, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, the pear blossoms in Luoyang City bloom, attracting many tourists to enjoy. The peach leaves of Heyang are also turquoise and neat, which makes people feel the infinite vitality of prosperity. "Falling like a thunderbolt" shows that the spring breeze blows, and the petals of the pear blossoms continue to fall, as if they are sprinkled with snowflakes.
In the opening chapter, the author first painted a beautiful picture of the spring scene, the spring breeze is swinging, the flowers are pleasant, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the green leaves are dense, which is a good time to travel and walk. However, these descriptions are first promoted and then suppressed, all for the sake of laying the groundwork for the later text.
Next, the protagonist appears, the word "Yulou", conveys her noble identity; "Mao Makeup", that is, tear makeup, indicates her sad appearance. Why "red cotton powder" will provoke the beauty so sad, the first sentence "sitting afraid of spring", indicating that she is worried that spring will soon leave, and her delicate appearance is as short as the beautiful spring scenery, so she left sad tears.
The heroine may be the lover who misses going out, or may be worried that her husband will abandon herself, so she is alone in the empty boudoir, lonely and unbearable. Even if the scenery is picturesque, I don't have the heart to enjoy it. The author does not have a word of discussion, but only with the help of the description of the scene and the portrayal of the actions of the characters, let the reader feel a deep sadness, which can be described as cleverly conceived.
Two Poems of White Silk (Part 2)
Dong Xian's female brother is in the pepper wind, and the prosperous harem is prosperous.
The gold and jade are emerald, and they fall into nothingness.
Dong Xian, zi Shengqing, Western Han Dynasty Yunyang people. He was handsome and charming, and was favored by the Han Emperor, and he could not leave his home, and was given the title of Marquis of Gao'an. At the age of 22, he worshipped the Great Sima (大司馬). He manipulated the government, and his father, brother, and father-in-law were all officials to the rank of secretary of state, and the Han Emperor even wanted to pass the throne to him. After Emperor Wu's death, he was impeached by Wang Mang and committed suicide.
The first two sentences show the scene of the heroine, Dong Xian's sister, being favored, and Jiaofeng is the name of the palace, which is the residence of Dong Xian's sister Dong Zhaoyi. In the "Book of Han" dong xian biography, it is recorded that Zhaoxian's female brother thought that Zhaoyi was the second empress. Renamed its house as Pepper Wind to match the Pepper Room.
"窈窕" depicts the delicate countenance of the concubine; a "noble" word that expresses the degree of favor. The reason why the author wants to mention Dong Xian is to let the reader know the background of this "female brother (sister)". The reader must wonder, once the brother loses power, what will happen to the sister?
The last two sentences illustrate the ending, "The gold and the jade are all emeralds." Bi, through the wall; the wall belt refers to the horizontal wood in the wall, and the exposed part is shaped like a belt, which was originally a decoration in the palace of Zhao Zhaoyi, the favorite concubine of the Hancheng Emperor. In the "Book of Han, The Biography of Empress Xiaocheng Zhao" records that the white jade steps, the wall belt is often gold, and the pearls and green feathers are decorated, and they have not tasted since the harem. 釭 refers to the ring metal ornament on the wall of the ancient palace, which describes the luxury and luxury of the Pepper Wind Hall where Dong Zhaoyi lived.
The word "zero fall", a pun, refers to both prosperity and withering, and also alludes to youth and aging. And "becoming empty" expresses a deep feeling. Once rich and charming, once proud of the harem, but now it has become an illusion, everything is floating clouds and dust. The whole poem is profound, making people sigh at the same time, but also more thought-provoking!
