Wang Changling was a border poet during the Tang Dynasty, and his works were known for their majesty and heroism, such as "Huangsha Hundred Battles Wear Golden Armor, Do Not Break loulan and never return"; "Ming Ming Xing Chi sealed the sword, ci jun took Lou Lan in one night"; "White horse golden saddle from Emperor Wu, Jingqi 100,000 Su Chang Yang" and so on.
But did you know that this heroic poet can also write delicate and gentle works, such as this "Grievance":
Grievances
Wang Changling [Tang Dynasty]
The young woman in the boudoir did not know sorrow, and she went up to the Green Building on the spring day.
Suddenly seeing the strange head of Yang Willow, the repentant husband and wife looked for a marquis.
The poem is about a woman missing her husband, who is far away at the border, and it can be seen from here that the poem is still related to the border plug.
"The young woman in the boudoir does not know sorrow, and the young woman in the boudoir does not know what sorrow is, and since this woman does not know what sorrow is, how can there be grievance? We then look down, "Spring makeup on the green floor", this sentence is the time and place, in a sunny spring, the place is above the attic. It turned out that the young woman was standing on the top of the attic, overlooking the beautiful scenery of spring. And she looks good because she went upstairs "in makeup". It can be seen that she has put on a delicate makeup and gone upstairs to enjoy the scenery.
Seeing here, I believe that many people are confused, sunny, well-dressed, and in a good mood, how to see it has nothing to do with the "resentment" in the poem! So let's move on.
In the third sentence, "Suddenly I saw the strange willow color", the young woman looked at the column and saw what? She saw willow trees on the road. In the spring, everything is racing, and the willows have grown new branches, and the willows that are hanging down are full of spring. After seeing the willow tree, the young woman who was in a good mood immediately triggered her mood swings and psychological changes. In ancient times, willow represented the feeling of farewell and retention. The young woman was touched by the sight of the wicker, and thought of the person she missed in her heart. Therefore, she began to "repent of her husband and wife to find a marquis". Reading this, we finally understand that in order to make meritorious achievements, the young woman's husband went to the border to fight for military merit, which led to the long-term separation of the two.
In ancient times, there was no mobile phone or telephone, and the only thing the young woman in the poem could do was to wait, to wait for her eyes to wear. In fact, this young woman written by Wang Changling is only a microcosm of many ancient women. In the harsh reality, many women have not even been able to wait for the return of their husbands for the rest of their lives. There is a Tang poem that makes people even more compassionate, "Poor bones by the river, just like the people in the dreams of spring girls", in modern words: really pitiful, the piles of white bones by the uncertain river are still the husbands of the young women who depend on each other in their dreams. Such a scene is really unbearable to tears!
Short stories often intercept a cross-section of life and concentrate on it, so that the reader can glimpse the whole leopard from this cross-section. The phrase resembles a short story in this regard. This poem is precisely to seize the moment of subtle changes in the psychology of the young woman in the boudoir, and make a concentrated description, so as to glimpse the whole process from a moment.
