【Tang】Li Shangyin
Heavy and deep under the Mo Chou Hall, after lying down the night is slender and slender.
The career of a goddess was originally a dream, and the sister-in-law lived without a husband.
The turmoil does not believe that the lingzhi is weak, and the moon dew teaches the laurel leaf fragrance.
Straight lovesickness is useless, and melancholy is madness.
Sorrow is a theme that can often be seen in poetry and songs. In the world of Tang poetry, in addition to the fierce wind of war, there is also the sorrow and sadness of going to the country and nostalgia; there is not only the pride and ambition to ride the wind and waves, but also the lingering compassion of the emperor. Li Shangyin is one of the few famous poets among these literati and writers who is good at writing emotional poems that are soft and watery.
In a world dominated by men and hardened and hot-blooded, poems about women will always contain more or less melancholy and tears, and this untitled poem is the voice of a woman in the depths of Li Shangyin's eyes who has experienced an unforgettable love.
This is a melancholy woman who lies alone in front of her in a heavy curtain that hangs down. Although there is not a single word "sorrow" in the poem, the lonely and lonely atmosphere around her makes her mood at the moment reflected. The night was long, and the woman lay alone on the bed, which was even more exposed, but she did not feel sleepy. The candle flame in the room flickered and was not bright, and in the half-bright and half-extinguished space, the silent night seemed even colder.
Naturally, this is not a night that a young woman should face. Many women of her age snuggled up to her lover's strong arms at this time, and gradually fell into a deep sleep. At this time, she was alone, as cold as this situation, and her heart that was once ignited for love, but now it is as cold as ashes.
Legend has it that the beautiful and moving encounter between the goddess of Wushan and the king of Chu is now nothing more than a dream where fireworks are easy to cold. Once upon a time, a woman was convinced of such love, and even imagined that she could have a sweet love like the goddess of Wushan. It's just that now, this mood is gone, maybe the "Qingxi sister-in-law" mentioned in the poem book is his true identity. Because the woman at this moment, just like this sister-in-law, was originally alone and alone.
The woman like water is like a weak and helpless water chestnut branch, which should be the most pitiful age, but she has been devastated by this sudden turmoil, and the woman who is like a flower is like a fresh and elegant laurel leaf, which should be the age when she should be most cared for and moisturized, but without the nourishment of the moon dew, she has completely lost her fragrance.
Lover, before he was discouraged, the remaining lovesickness in his heart could still disturb his mood. In the middle of the night, the moonlight is cold and clear, and when she feels the sad voice, the woman's heart still remembers the pampering and care she once received in love. Shouldn't you be resentful, shouldn't you never want to see him again? But why is there still an unquenchable longing for him in the depths of my heart?
Acacia, helpless acacia, useless acacia. Since his heart is gone, then the woman should not be entangled in it, but if she can really be so free, how can the woman be alone? Yes, the woman knows, and knows deeply, that indulging in this senseless lovesickness is not at all conducive to physical and mental health, but she is so difficult to extricate herself that even she does not know what to do.
It's not that I haven't persuaded myself, but infatuation is completely up to me. I have heard that there are many infatuated men in this world, and now that I look at it this way, the infatuation of women is also deep. blame yourself for being moved and lost, and blame for the sweetness in love that is too attractive. But after thinking about it, how can she blame this charming woman? As far as she is concerned, she just hopes to get a stable love, but in fact, this requirement is not too high, but her fate is not good, and she just ran into a negative man, and finally became infatuated to the end, and ended up with a lifelong depression.
This is Li Shangyin's young woman who is so stunned by love that she loses her soul. In the Sino-Tang love poems that emphasize the supremacy of plot, Li Shangyin's lyrical poetic style is like a clear stream.
Li Shangyin's untitled poem is the poem that best demonstrates his artistic achievements. Looking at the untitled poems he wrote, almost every poem can have one or two well-known verses, such as "It's difficult to say goodbye when you meet", "Last night's stars and last night's wind", "An inch of lovesickness, an inch of gray", "No harm to melancholy is madness", etc., are all famous sentences sung by people for thousands of years.
Li Shangyin's life has been quite bumpy. He has waited for love in his life, looked forward to love, enjoyed love and been hurt by love, love is a theme that will always shine in life for Li Shangyin.
Perhaps, it is because of his innate talent and temperament that have a unique attraction to love, or perhaps, because his career in his life has not been smooth, which has led him to devote most of his energy to another theme of life. However, it is this kind of experience that has made such Li Shangyin, and it is also this Li Shangyin who has made Tang poetry, especially an important genre in the middle and late Tang poetry circles - untitled poems.
Almost all of the untitled poems we can see are related to eroticism. Li Shangyin's untitled poems are very popular, and not only that, but they are also sung and praised by many people, not only because of their lingering and beautiful style, but also because they write people's hearts. Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as there is an entanglement with love, people can find the most sincere softness in their hearts from these love poems of Li Shangyin.
During the same period, there were two literati who were similar to Li Shangyin's style, Duan Chengshi and Wen Tingyun. Their poems also focus on the charm or heartbreak in love, and they are naturally loved and sought after by people, but the most famous of them is Li Shangyin.
Interestingly, these three poets who focus on love are not only similar in style, but also have similar backgrounds, they are all ranked sixteenth in their own homes, so people also call their style of poetry "Thirty-six Bodies".
There is such a sentence in "Tongya Commentary", "Thirty-six bodies, the body of a puppet." "The aesthetic style, gorgeous rhetoric, and sincere emotions are all the characteristics of the "Thirty-six Bodies" poem that people love.
The human feelings and sophistication experienced in the floating life are originally rich and wonderful poetry materials, but not everyone has the ability to discover the beauty in it, and not everyone has the ability to depict the beauty in it. From Li Shangyin's writings, we can see that he has such a talent.
If there is any characteristic in the poetry of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin is definitely a touch of color in it. In love, Li Shangyin may not have experienced the most colorful time, but what flows in his pen is the endless yearning and longing for love.
Just like spring silkworms, what they absorb is the most ordinary green leaves in the world, but what is produced from their bodies is precious silk. These sincere feelings have been transformed in words, sublimated over the years, and formed a unique symbol called culture, which has been recognized, remembered, and passed on by people along with the inheritance of the nation's bloodline from generation to generation.
When we savor those timeless words again, the graceful or heartache between the words still jumps on the paper, which is the agarwood given by time and the essence of time washing. Through a thin piece of paper and a few lines of poetry, we pass through the barriers of time and space, and share our feelings with Li Shangyin thousands of years ago.
