As one of the four ancient civilizations, China's culture has been running endlessly for thousands of years, and there are shining masterpieces in all dynasties and dynasties that deserve our continuous appreciation. The Book of Poetry, which was first circulated in the Han Dynasty, reflected all aspects of social life at that time among the elegant texts. Li Bai and Du Fu from the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the feelings of poetry immortals and poetry saints are still unforgettable.
But in the ancient literati and inkers, most of the classics we can see are from the hands of men, and in ancient times, reading and writing were a power of men, so the light of women was forced to be covered. In the temple of literature, women's length is very small, but there are also many literary masterpieces that are not to be given away and surprise the time. One of the most prestigious is Li Qingzhao, the "first talented woman in ancient times".
Li Qingzhao was a representative of the Euphemism School of the Song Dynasty, and her lyrics were distinctive, and she left seventy or eighty poems in her lifetime. But there is such a poem that has been praised as Li Qingzhao's laziest poem, all because a word "flower" in this poem is repeated 17 times, which seems to be a simple technique that implies the heart of her lifelong wounded child.
Use flowers as an image to express sorrow
Li Qingzhao was born in a family of scholars with literary and artistic influences, and grew up carefree under the guidance of her father, but the adult world is always cruel, and after several vicissitudes, she uses poetry to express the sorrow and joy of a lifetime, and the same is true of this "Residual Flower".
"Residual Flowers"
Flowers blossom and fall without regret, and fate comes and goes like water.
Flowers are flowers, and flowers fly for flowers.
Flower sorrow is flower tears, flower tears are flower crumbs.
Flowers dance flowers shed tears, flowers cry petals fly.
Who is grateful for the blossoming of the flowers, and who is sad for whom the flowers are grateful.
The most obvious image in the whole poem is the "residual flower", a beautiful flower that is about to wither, and here is Li Qingzhao's own self-imitation. At this time, she vigorously pursued love all her life, but the final ending was no longer youthful, leaving only one person alone and "sad".
These 17 repetitive "flower" words, accompanied by only emotional states such as "sorrow", "tears", and "brokenness" in their lives, are so painful and self-mourning.
Flowers grieve for love and grieve for love
Li Qingzhao, as a very talented lady, her two marriages are one heaven and one hell. At the age of only 18, Li Qingzhao married Li Mingcheng, who was the right person. The two have a common literary sentiment, which can be described as a little bit of a sharp mind, living like honey every day, and the husband and wife spent twenty-eight years happily and leisurely.
However, the quiet happiness was shattered by the political outbreak of the Jing kang revolution, and Zhao Mingcheng, who served in the imperial court, was sent elsewhere to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and soon fell ill and died.
Li Qingzhao, who learned of this incident, was devastated, unable to accept the accident of the destruction of her family, the whole person indulged in grief, and her poetry style also changed from the original love feud to family sorrow, and even rose to national sorrow. At this time, in the face of a turbulent and displaced life, Li Qingzhao urgently needed the dependence of her soul, so she chose Zhang Ruzhou, who was considerate to him, but this time she was not so happy, and her married life came to hell.
Zhang Ruzhou did not love Li Qingzhao, but coveted her family property, so he tricked Li Qingzhao's favor and married her. However, Li Qingzhao, who had experienced the accident, was no longer rich, and Zhang Ruzhou, who was disappointed, began to punch and kick him. In his second marriage, Li Qingzhao not only did not wait for warm comfort, but instead attracted violence, and then divorced.
Li Qingzhao, who has experienced a second marriage, has been discouraged by the love and love of the world, and has also fallen into the infinite nostalgia and grief for Zhao Mingcheng, after several decades, everything has long been human, and the woman who was full of joy like a jade flower has become a residual flower of love and regret and sorrow.
Calm the heart, know the people and look at the heart
Li Qingzhao's timeless talent is related to her "grief", and being in such an atmosphere triggers her grief and mourning, thus putting emotions into words and leaving a moving classic masterpiece. But the poetry is worth appreciating, And Li Qingzhao's life experience is also regrettable, and the harm caused to her by a villain like Zhao Ruzhou is incalculable.
Knowing people knows the face and does not know the heart, and dealing with people is also a science. Confucius once said: "Look at its causes, look at its causes, and see its security, how can people be ashamed?" ”。 When interacting with people, it is necessary to look at what a person does, examine his motives for acting, and understand what kind of heart he has, so as to understand a person's true heart. However, Li Qingzhao was trapped by grief and only saw what Zhao Ruzhou had done, but did not really see his heart, and thus was deceived.
brief summary
Such a wonderful song "Residual Flowers", which seems to be repetitive and difficult to understand, is actually expressing Li Qingzhao's grief many times, and the flowers here are herself. A remnant flower was written to herself and also expressed the pain of women in marriage in ancient times. In life, it is very important to master the method of knowing people, otherwise it is easy to be deceived by the sweet words of others, and in the end you can only get suffering.
