Wang Guowei's "Words and Sayings on Earth" vividly quotes the famous sentence of the Song Dynasty poet: Yan Shu's "Last night the west wind withered the bi tree." Go up to the tall building alone and look at the end of the world"; Liu Yong's "the belt gradually widens and finally does not regret it, and the people are haggard for Yi Que"; Xin Abandoning disease's "The crowd looks for him for a thousand hundred degrees." Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dimmed", Wang Guowei used the quotation of the image to convey the three realms pursued by the ancient literati.
If Wang Guowei is expressing his intentions with words, then there is another person who integrates the sound of listening to the rain and the picture of listening to the rain into the text, expressing the same meaning as the three realms of the kingdom dimension. This person is Jiang Jie, a lyricist from the late Song and early Yuan dynasties, and this poem is "Yu Meiren Listening to the Rain", and the original words are as follows:
The teenager listened to the rain song upstairs, and the red candles dimmed. In the prime of life, listening to the rain passenger boat, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind.
And now listening to the rain monks, the sideburns have been stars also. Sorrow and joy are always merciless, before one term, dripping until dawn.
Jiang Jie's "Yu Meiren Listening to the Rain" word intent
Jiang Jie is a very famous lyricist, he also got a "cherry jinshi" because of the famous sentence in "A Cut of Plum", "Streamers are easy to throw people, red cherries, green plantains".
Jiang Jie's "Yu Meiren" summarizes the life of the lyricist with three extremely dynamic pictures in the order of time, which are the three scenes of listening to the rain when he was a teenager, listening to the rain in his prime, and listening to the rain in his twilight years.
"Red cherry, green plantain"
"The teenager listens to the rain song upstairs, and the red candle is dim", which describes the scene of the lyricist listening to the rain when he was a teenager. Jiang Jie, Zi Sheng Luo, Zhu Shan, Late Song Dynasty Yuan Chu Yang Envy Ren, Xian Chun Ten Years Jin Shi. Jiang Jie's ancestors were from a rich family in Yixing, and he lived a life of fine clothes and jade food since he was a child. It can also be said that his youth was spent in a good family environment.
At that time, he was a dancing teenager, and the normal state of his life was to sing and dance, fly eagles and horses. Therefore, when he was a teenager, he listened to the rain on the song tower, and the romantic red candle in the song building, the affectionate tent, created a visual effect of singing and dancing, and the lights were red and green, making people feel that the lyricist was showing a rich and comfortable state of life.
Portrait of Jiang Jie
At this time, listening to the rain is on the song floor, the environment of red candles and tents is rendered, plus a "dim" word, which vividly and realistically outlines the life state of the lyricist when he was a teenager. Isn't this kind of life the true portrayal of "The Prince of The Feast, the Lady of embroidery, the flower note of the leaf leaf, the Wen Shu Li Jin; the jade finger of the fiber, and the patting of the champagne" depicted in the "Flower Words"?
In fact, if you only stay at such a level to understand, then the grasp of the meaning of the word is inaccurate, and it does not achieve the deep understanding of the state of life that the lyricist wants to express.
Jiang Jie's "Zhushan Words" · Book Shadow
What such a picture shows is not the appearance of the luxurious life of a dancing prince listening to the rain in the song building, but what he hopes to reveal should be the vitality of life expressed through the luxurious appearance, showing the vigor, vitality and hope of life.
Therefore, from this point, it can be seen that the lyricist here is not simply shaping the image of a dancing teenager listening to the rain in the song building, but through the image of this rain-listening teenager, using the superficial luxury life to reveal the tension and vitality of life, that is, the vigorous upward state of life.
Jiang Jie came from a rich family and lived a very wealthy life since he was a child, so he had a youth time of "teenagers listening to rain songs upstairs, red candles dimming".
Jiang Jie's "Yu Meiren" begins with the way a teenager listens to the rain, not to show his origin, his family lineage, and his luxurious life, but to form a strong contrast with the situation behind.
Although such a life is full of the lyricist's juvenile age, it has nothing to do with sorrow and sorrow, and the lyricist focuses on rendering only the youthful style of "teenagers do not know the taste of sorrow and fall in love with the upper floor". The impression of such a stage in the minds of the writers is eternal and short,with such a cheerful juvenile time as the foreshadowing, in order to set off the bleak scene of listening to the rain behind.
"In the prime of life listening to the rain passenger boat, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind", which describes the scene of the lyricist listening to the rain in his prime. If Jiang Jie in the first picture of listening to the rain, the lyricist focuses on the germination and beauty of a simple life that has not suffered any setbacks and pains, and wants to express the vitality of life in his youth, then in the next second picture, the scene of listening to the rain comes to the passenger ship, and the lyricist focuses on the middle-aged wandering and uncertain living state.
Jiang Jie's life is unfortunate, he was born in a giant family, the family style is simple, from childhood to read poetry, deeply influenced by Confucianism, has a strong sense of joining the world. Just when he entered high school, showed his talents and displayed his ambitions, the times had turned a new page, and song had entered the yuan.
The wheel of history is rolling forward, which is undoubtedly a turning point in jiang jie's fate, and his diploma has lost its due value at this time.
After entering the Yuan, Jiang Jie refused the opportunity to join the shi and has been living in a drifting life. "In the prime of the year listening to the rain passenger boat" through the "passenger boat", the words of the word people are displaced and drifting without roots. And what is important is that "the broken goose is called the west wind", the lyricist uses the goose as a metaphor, expressing himself like a lone goose that has lost its flock, no matter how mourning, no one can understand the misery in his heart.
When he was a teenager, he lived a cheerful life of "listening to rain songs upstairs, red candles dimming", while the reality of the Southern Song Dynasty when it became the past became the last straw that crushed the dreams of the lyricists.
Since then, wandering around and living in an uncertain place has become the norm of the writer's life, so he has lived an unstable wandering life like the "listening to the rain and passenger boat" described in the word, and it can be said that Jiang Jie has been in this state of wandering and displacement for the second half of his life.
In his prime, Jiang Jie, who lives in a drifting place, has a kind of loneliness and sentimentality in life, and his life is also facing new troubles and hardships, and he can only make a choice helplessly, choosing a state of existence in which he is exiled in reality and exiled in his soul.
Boating in the rivers and lakes, passenger ships listening to the rain, not only is the word person's tempering of life, but also a kind of exploration of life by the word person, which is the realm of life, so far it is going to be broad, although on the road of life, troubles and sorrows will always accompany each other, but this kind of escape is still worth it, because this is the path chosen by the lyricist himself.
"And now listen to the rain monks, the sideburns have been stars also." Sorrow and joy are always merciless, before the first step, dripping until dawn", this is the scene when the lyricist listens to the rain in his twilight years.
From adolescence to middle age to old age, along the way, the lyricist Jiang Jie has become a white-haired old man, sitting alone under the monk's house to listen to the sound of the night rain. The desolate evening scene, Xiao Suo's situation, and the sad state of mind are vividly reflected in this scene of listening to the rain.
The writer has experienced the prosperous juvenile time, but also experienced the vicissitudes of middle age, and has experienced the loneliness and loneliness of the forbidden form and the solitary monks. The pain, depression and helplessness in his heart can be imagined, and the bumpy life experience and the life experience of ups and downs and honors and humiliations have filled the lyricist Jiang Jie with pain and helplessness.
But it is precisely because of such a different life course that the writer has a high degree of cognition and profound experience of life and life.
Looking back on the life he has walked, the prosperity of his youth is like a cloud of smoke, short and beautiful, but poverty, wandering and displacement are the norms of life that really accompany the lyricist through most of his life.
After such a comparison, the lyricist can't help but issue a sigh full of vicissitudes and helplessness, such as "sorrow and joy are always merciless, before one term, dripping to the dawn".
Listening to the rain scene in the twilight years, the lyricist eliminated the flowery words and strange meanings, fell into its magnificence, and used words that were clear as words.
Through the picture, we seem to see an old man with a turbid wind, sitting in the monk's house, the rain outside the window is pouring down, this is a cold picture, this person did not write sorrow, and the sorrow has long been pervaded in the reader's heart.
The same is to listen to the rain, the boyhood of the light singing and dancing, the lyricist does not know the taste of sorrow; in the prime of life, the world is vicissitudes, the lyricist has to take the passenger boat as his home, wandering and roaming in the water towns of Jiangnan; in the twilight years, he still travels through the rivers and lakes, lives in the monk's house, is lonely and lonely, infinitely sad, but wants to say that he will rest.
In the detailed tasting of the term "Yu Meiren", the lyricist takes personal encounters as the starting point and presents three scenes with typical picture characteristics. This is the life experience of the three stages of the writer's life, and it is also the three realms of spiritual exploration.
Three scenes with typical visual characteristics are used to listen to the rain as an event throughout. The place and direction when listening to the rain are very cleverly integrated in the scene of listening to the rain, showing the lyricist's extremely high artistic technique.
The lyricist first intercepted a beautiful picture of a red candle tent on the song floor, showing the happy hours of his youth. "Teenagers listen to rain songs upstairs", Jiang Jie, a lyricist who is in his youth, lives a carefree life and is full of beautiful expectations for life.
The pursuit of happiness is the most beautiful and comfortable time in the life of the lyricist, so for the scene of listening to the rain at this time, the lyricist uses a "up" word, which is exactly in line with the life situation of the lyricist at this time.
At the time of the establishment of the scientific expedition, just before it was time to show his talents and display his ambitions, the video album of history had already turned a new page, and he became a microcosm that was incompatible with the times.
Drifting in the living, boating in the rivers and lakes, listening to the rain in the passenger ship is the second picture intercepted by the lyricist. This has also become the norm of life in the prime of the writer, the lyricist is in his prime, but he cannot make a difference, wandering in a lonely boat, and the good time of the "red candle and the tent" has passed.
The life of drifting in a zero dwelling makes the writer only feel sad when he feels sad. The writer saw the misty clouds and mist connecting with the vast river, the lonely geese from the lost flock came from the sky to mourn, he listened to the sound of the rain in the passenger ship, felt the coldness and desolation of the cold rainy night, and how sad and sad his mood was.
Jiang Jie's life at this time is wandering and lonely, but the situation at this time has not yet reached an extremely lonely situation compared with the twilight years, so for the scene of listening to the rain at this time, the lyricist uses a "medium" word, which is also in line with the mood of the word and the mood of the lyricist.
Life is like a dream, the past is like smoke, and it is carefully pursued in the wind and rain. Listening to the night rain under the monk's house is the third picture taken by the writer, showing the picture of an old man with white sideburns listening to the night rain under the monk's house.
The lyricist from the romance of youth, the displacement of the prime-age, writes to the twilight years to taste the joys and sorrows, the two sideburns stained with frost, and lived in the monk's house. The joy of youth has long since died, the sorrow of the prime-age has also disappeared, and all that remains is the loneliness of the current situation and the depression of the state of mind.
Two sideburns, years gone and ambitious, the writer in the guest monk's house feels more lonely, his emotions have reached the extreme of pain, the ruthlessness of sorrow and joy, and the lyricist has already tasted it with his life.
The lyricist of "And now listening to the rain monk Luxia", not only two sideburns, but also a single shadow, most of his life drifted in the years of living in zero, today's sending fence, he has tasted the taste of life's sorrow and joy, the situation of the lyricist at this time is lonely.
The footprints of the writer's life, the mental journey he has experienced, and the emotional experience he has felt are finally condensed in the image of such a monk listening to the wind and candle of the rain, at this time his heart is like stopping water, and his calm heart can no longer make ripples, so he can listen to the dripping rain in front of the eaves all night until dawn.
Why does the writer stay up all night? Because the sorrow and pain in his heart have not been liberated, and he cannot completely let go of the mentality, the writer has only changed the way of expressing sorrow to the monk listening to the rain.
This other form of sorrow is the introversion and deepening of emotions. Therefore, for the scene of listening to the rain at this time, the lyricist uses a "down" word, which is very appropriate, which is also consistent with the situation and mentality of the lyricist who is still in a bad mood and deteriorating situation.
At this time, I heard the sound of night rain bit by bit here and now, but on the surface I seemed indifferent, and I concluded with "before one step, dripping to the dawn", which seemed to show the indifference of the writer who was empty and all thoughts were gray.
But through the surface of language, behind this "one-term pre-order" is the performance of the lyricist's inability to listen, inability to speak, and difficult to conceive. The faint sentence "A step before the step drops to the dawn" actually contains deep tragedy, hiding extremely strong feelings and deeper pain, which is the pain hidden in the depths of the writer's soul.
Listening to the rain all night until dawn is the pain of those who can't sleep at night with some thoughts, and the little rain not only hits the front of the steps, but also hits the heart of the writer.
Looking at the whole word, the lyricist is nothing more than imitating the three different life states he has experienced, and summarizing the different environments, different lives and different moods in different periods from adolescence to prime-age to old age with three symbolic pictures.
The bumpy life experience and unfortunate life encounters made the lyricist Jiang Jie full of pain and helplessness. But it is precisely because of such a different life course that the writer has a high degree of cognition and profound experience of life and life.
Jiang Jie's listening to rain scenes in different life periods, the song in the rain is his voice in different periods, these three scenes of listening to rain are actually three painted pictures that the lyricist uses his heart journey and emotional experience to exude, and it is also an understanding of life. In other words, the three times of listening to the rain in this song are actually the realization of the three realms of life.
