【Glyph evolution】

Shan, which is both a vocal and a morphal, is an omission of "Zen" and indicates the peace and tranquility of the cultivator. 嬋, seal (female, female) (single, that is, the omission of "Zen", the peace and tranquility of the monks), denotes a peaceful and quiet woman. Original meaning of the word: noun, a beautiful woman who has practiced the Tao, whose temperament is extraordinary, who is peaceful and quiet. After subordination, the script writes the "female" in the seal glyph and the "single" in the seal glyph. The simplified script "Chan" in the "Chinese Character Simplification Scheme" simplifies the "single" in the orthographic italic glyph to "single" according to the rules of analogy simplification.

【The Story of the Word】

One Chinese character a day - Chan

Butterfly Love Flower Mo Dou Chan Juan Bow Moon

Modern Kingdom Dimension

Mo Dou chan juan bowed like a moon, only sat on the moth's eyebrows, and eliminated a thousand rumors. The sand on the arm is not extinguished, and the ancient accumulation can destroy the bones.

The hand is full of qi and the trick, lazily wishing the west wind, and then making the world hot. In the mirror, Zhu Yan did not rest, and did not hesitate to flatter herself.

Translation:

There is no need to compare the style of eyebrows, so as not to provoke rumors of jealousy. How can the palace sand on the woman's arm not disappear, the gossip and flying language have been very powerful since ancient times.

With a tuan fan in my hand, my affection with him had been severed. I was also disheartened and did not plan to fix it again. My face in the mirror is still beautiful, and I entertain myself and find fun every day, morning and evening.

Interpretation: In 1905, Luo Zhenyu built a house in Suzhou, and was falsely accused of occupying the school land, and Luo resigned in anger. Wang Guowei was teaching in the same academy with Luo Zhenyu at that time, and he made this remark, and Gai borrowed the woman who was slandered and fell out of favor, but did not bend and break, expressing the indignant feelings of the lyricist's reluctance to be vulgar.

This song, the words are very sad, and the emotions are fuller, although full of depression, but the character's fighting spirit is still high. The upper and lower pieces, the first write the weight of the accumulation of destruction, the sadness and indignation of the heart, and the latter write the resolute attitude towards "accumulation and destruction", proudly independent, never lowering the eyebrows of people, in one go, the character image is distinct. In the slander of beautiful people, the "self-flattery" of beautiful women, there may be a shadow in the poet's own life experience.
