Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, is the annual Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival is one of the traditional Chinese festivals, because it is the first full moon night of the Lunar New Year, so it is also called New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve.
The Lantern Night Tour is an iconic festival custom of the Lantern Festival. The night of the Lantern Festival is the world of lights, the ocean of lights, a variety of flower lanterns will decorate the night colorful, and the glittering lights will also make the night more warm and romantic.
The Lantern Festival adds fun and joy to people's lives, and the thoughts and inspirations triggered by the Lantern Festival can easily become the material for poets' writing. They will capture these thoughts and inspirations keenly, and they will express what they see, hear, think, and think in words and music.
There have always been countless works written about the Lantern Festival, but compared with the Lantern poetry works of other dynasties, the Song Dynasty Lantern Words are not only considerable in number, but also full of characteristics, which can be said to be a thousand styles and tastes.
You see, Liu Yong's Lantern Festival is "Qingjia Festival, when the third five." The Lantern Festival in Ouyang Xiu's book is "the head of the willow on the moon, and the person is about after dusk"; the Lantern Festival in Xin Shuyi's book is "looking back, but the person is in the middle of the lights", which is the portrayal of the ideal and personality of the lyricist.
Li Qingzhao, a female lyricist of the Southern Song Dynasty, also wrote a Lantern Poem "Yong Yu Le", and her Lantern Festival is different from the vision of the above male lyricists: she reverses the long tone, contrasts the different scenes of the Lantern in the past and present, and expresses her deep emotional world, why is this? Let's see how his poem is written:
Where are the people in the sunset melting gold and the twilight clouds? Dye willow smoke thick, blow plum flute complaints, how much do you know about spring? Lantern Festival, melting weather, is there no wind and rain in the second stage? Come to summon, incense car BMW, thank him for drinking friends and poets.
Zhongzhou is full of sunshine, the boudoir is more leisurely, remember to focus on three or five. Spread the green crown, twist the golden snow willow, and the cluster belt is in contention. Now haggard, wind and frost sideburns, afraid to see the night out. It is better to listen to people laughing and talking under the curtain.
"The sunset melts gold, the twilight clouds merge", the beautiful opening chapter, which leads people's eyes to a beautiful dusk: this is a beautiful moment, even the sunset seems not to want to sink so quickly, it does its best to sprinkle the brilliant light emitted to the earth.
The sunset is as dazzling as melting gold, and even the floating clouds on the edge of the sky have changed color and are draped in brilliant light, and the sunset and sunset seem to be a pair of intimate confidants, and they are united and complement each other, and together they dot the sky.
Sunset sunset is like the weather forecast, it clearly shows that this is a beautiful sunny weather, this is a suitable night for viewing flowers and lanterns, invite three or five confidants, take advantage of the night of the fire tree and honeysuckle, come to a night tour that walks away, isn't it beautiful?
But the female lyricist did not think so, and she turned her pen sharply: "Where are the people?" This seemingly abrupt question actually does not need to be answered, and this question also casts a shadow on the beautiful picture of the sunset evening sun.
A good night should be spent with the most beloved person, but where is such a person? This poem was written by Li Qingzhao in his later years when he lived in Hangzhou, when the female lyricists experienced major life changes after the southern crossing, first of all, they studied Jinshi calligraphy and painting with her, and their husband Zhao Mingcheng, who was deeply in love, died of illness, and the precious Jinshi calligraphy and paintings they collected before the Southern Crossing were lost in the exile.
When Li Qingzhao lived in Hangzhou, he had a short but unfortunate marriage with Zhang Ruzhou, and everything after the southern crossing made the female lyricist feel pain. Therefore, in the Lantern Festival, even if the sunset is very warm, the evening scenery is very beautiful, and the lights are very bright, the female lyricist Li Qingzhao does not have the heart to see fireworks and lights.
After the southern crossing, Li Qingzhao has been living a life of floating in a living, what mood is there to see the Lantern Festival? The beauty of the festival and the mood of loneliness form a strong contrast.
In fact, the scene of dusk is beautiful, but dusk is also a very easy to make people feel sad and sentimental moments, so there will be "where is the sunset pass, the smoke wave river makes people sad", there will also be "the sunset in the west, the intestines are broken at the end of the world" helplessness. Dusk makes people with the idea of travel deeply feel the misery of wandering, and the sensitive and amorous literati and inkers have such a similar feeling.
Dusk is a moment of special significance for them. For Li Qingzhao, a female lyricist in the middle of the floating zero, it is even more difficult, and such a scene will make her feel the loneliness and loneliness of life. Li Qingzhao once wrote the mood of the dusk moment in another poem: "The sycamore is more combined with drizzle, to dusk, bit by bit." This time, what a sad word! ”
Where are the people? This is not only Li Qingzhao's questioning of the person he misses, but also a reflection on himself. Where is the person you are reading? Where are you? When people are lonely, lonely, vulnerable, and helpless, they often need a long-term companion.
This companion may not be able to provide you with too much help, but he or she must be a qualified object of conversation, but the reality is often that there is not even such a companion, and Li Qingzhao at this time is facing such a situation: there is nowhere to talk, no one to talk.
At this time, she looked out the window, and the tender willow strips in front of her had been "dyed" into a light green smoke by the spring that had arrived as scheduled, and the willow branches were shrouded in mist. The tender green willows heralded a warmer weather, and the mist indicated that spring was melting, and at this time, out of nowhere, a wisp of "Plum Blossom Falling" sounded, and the melody of resentment went straight to the bottom of the heart.
"Plum Blossom Fall" is a Flute Song of Han Le Fu, and its tone is long and mournful, which is easy to cause people to think sadly, so Li Bai said "The jade flute is blown in the Yellow Crane Tower, and the plum blossoms fall in May in Jiangcheng", so Gao Shi will also say "Borrow to ask where the plum blossoms fall, and the wind blows all over the mountain in the night".
In Li Qingzhao's vocal and colorful description, in this long flute of grievance and mourning, the lyricist did not feel the strong sense of spring at all, but asked worriedly, how much spring is there? The lonely and miserable mood of the writer, the sad and indifferent old age, are seen here.
In this Lantern Festival of "Fire Trees and Honeysuckle Never Sleeps", spring is thick and the spring light is harmonious, which is a good opportunity to go out and enjoy. But no matter how brilliant the light, no matter how beautiful the weather, no matter how grand the festival, it will be greatly discounted in the hearts of the lyricists, because the sorrow of the drifting apartment and the changes in life encounters make it difficult for her to find a sense of home here, which is a fait accompli and the most important reason, which makes it difficult for the female lyricist to lift the spirit to appreciate.
Lonely shadow to the evening scene, even if the spring color is just right, the lyricist can feel how much spring? The turbulent life has long cast a melancholy undertone on that sensitive and sentimental heart. Even if the spring is bright and the wind and the sun are beautiful, will there be no wind and rain in the hearts of the writers? So she politely declined the friend's kind invitation.
Is it that she doesn't want to play? Don't you want to get rid of this lonely mood? None of them, the real reason is that the writer is afraid of facing the loneliness after the prosperity. Perhaps the scene of the Lantern Festival will remind him of the dusty past, that is, she and Zhao Mingcheng travel hand in hand to enjoy the romance and beauty of the lanterns.
However, now that the Si people are gone, she cannot bear this painful memory after the vicissitudes, and she is afraid of finding more memories in similar prosperity. These memories were memories she couldn't bear to recall, so she preferred to be alone in the empty boudoir rather than go out to watch the lanterns.
In the next film, from the present to the past, the lyricist compares the past and the present in a broader sense, and expresses her longing for the homeland of her homeland and her sadness about the opportunities of life from a more realistic tone.
In memory, the Lantern Festival in Bieliang City was so prosperous, even women who rarely went out usually could dress up and travel, watch the lanterns and enjoy the flowers, everyone was in groups of three or five, wearing hats with emerald feathers on their heads, and their hair buns were full of silk jewelry woven with gold thread, each one was neatly dressed, dressed luxuriously, competing for curiosity, people watched the lanterns, passed oranges, guessed puzzles, and often stayed up all night.
This scene, Li Qingzhao, could not be more familiar, because she was also a member of this lively crowd. On that day, she will be exquisite, she will wear festive costumes, she will join hands with Zhao Mingcheng to travel the Lantern Night, and on the night of the fire tree and honeysuckle, she must also be the "most beautiful boy" on the street.
The Lantern Festival of the Northern Song Dynasty was unprecedented, and Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Dream Record" recorded: "The fifteenth Lantern of the first month, since the winter solstice before the year before the Great Inner Plain, the Kaifeng Mansion has been hanging the mountain shed, the standing wood is facing the Xuande Building, and tourists have gathered under the two corridors of the Royal Street, with strange magic, singing and dancing, scales and scales, and the music is noisy for more than ten miles. From this account, it is not difficult to see the grand situation of the Lantern Festival in the Northern Song Dynasty.
"CuiGuan'er" is a hat decorated with emerald feathers, "snow willow" is a silk or paper flower, plus gold thread twisted silk decoration is more expensive, these are the popular female fashion elements at that time. The Southern Song Dynasty poet carefully recorded in the "Past Events of Wulin": "On the New Year's Eve festival, women wear pearls, moths, jade plums, snow willows, and bodhi leaves. ”
All this seems to be just yesterday, the more prosperous the festival in memory, the more lonely the mood in reality. Just as the so-called "years and years of flowers are similar, years and years are different", the Lantern Festival here and the Lantern Festival in Bieliang City have similar prosperity, but the lonely and sleepy mood of the writer cannot be felt.
Today's lyricist is "sick Xiao Xiao two sideburns" two sideburns like frost white hair, with such a mood, such a haggard face, how to appreciate the bustling light market in Hangzhou? The only thing the writer can do at this moment is to listen to the lively noise on the street and remember the past in his heart.
But in the depths of the sensitive and restless soul of the writer, there is unwillingness, so she has to quietly listen to people laughing under the curtain, how lonely and sad. In the laughter of others, there are her good memories, her nostalgia for her homeland, more her yearning for a better life, and the sadness of being lonely and lonely at this moment.
For a female lyricist who has experienced too much frustration and endured too much pain, a beautiful memory can make her get a short warm experience again, so that she can find a wisp of illusory comfort like a light smoke in her deep desire and loss.
This comfort, like a light veil, temporarily brushed away part of her pain, but this was ultimately a reliving of old dreams. When the unforgiving reality shatters this old warm dream, the writer once again appreciates the poignancy, loneliness and bitterness in front of him.
Reality throws the lyricist into the warmth of memory, and pulls it out of the warmth, so that she finally returns to reality. Therefore, the lyricist was absent from the lantern night tour of tonight's Lantern Festival, and she found a world of her own in her room.
The loneliness of the lyricist and the laughter of the tourists, the bright lights on the street, the boiling of the people, the lights in the house are yellowish, cold and lonely, in the sharp contrast and huge gap, the writer spent a long and deserted night.
Li Qingzhao's lantern word, with love rhymes to win, but also with emotion to win, the whole word is everywhere without worry, but it is not a sad word can be interpreted. This is Li Qingzhao in her later years, she can "write my heart by hand", so her words can be composed to the fullest, but they are thought-provoking.
In the lyricist's warm reminiscences, in the contrast between the present and the past, in the unhurried and bland tone, Li Qingzhao tells her deep emotional world, this song is her inner monologue, but also the flow of her emotional world.
