Wang Changling (698-756), also known as Shaobo, was a native of Jingzhao Chang'an, Shanxi. In his early years, he was poor and lowly, trapped in farming, and he was not confused in his early years. The first secretary of the provincial school, Lang, was also erudite and erudition, and was awarded the title of Captain of the Water, and degraded Lingnan because of the incident. At the end of the New Century, he returned to Chang'an and was renamed Jiang Ningcheng. Slandered As a Dragon Lieutenant. An Shi was in turmoil and was killed by The Assassin Shi Luqiu.
Wang Changling was a poet of great renown during the Tang Dynasty. Yin Bian's "Collection of Heroic Spirits of Heyue" held him as a representative of the embodiment of "wind bones", praised his poems as "Zhongxing Gaozuo", and the number of selected works was also the crown of the complete collection. Wang Changling's poems are mostly based on three types of themes, namely border plugs, boudoir palace grievances and farewells.
Wang Changling was a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. The Quan Tang Poetry evaluates Changling's poems as "secret and clear", and his seven poems are particularly outstanding, so they are named "Seven Sacred Hands". In particular, his side poems, which are smooth and free, are high and upward, and are highly respected by posterity. Today, Xiaobian wants to tell you about his poem "Grievances". The full poem is as follows:
Grievances
Author: Wang Changling
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.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the national strength was strong, and it became an important way for people to "seek the marquis" at that time. "The name of merit is only taken from the horse, it is really a hero and a husband" (Cen Shan, "Sending Deputy Envoy Li to the Moraine West Officers' Army"), which became the ideal of life for many people at that time.
"Grievances" are also a traditional theme. Liang Dynasty He Xun has two poems of "Grievances", expressing the lonely sentimentality of the boudoir "double teardrops before the pillow" and "alone to the flowers in the back garden", at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan (627-649), Xie Yan, who was famous for his endowment, received four of his poems in the Quan Tang Poems, one of which was titled "Lefu New Song Should Be Taught", and its poem Yun:
The Qinglou Pavilion has already contained spring, and the condensed makeup powder is like a god.
The thin light skirt is completely missing, away from the thin fan barrier dust.
The wine in the bottle is always full of color, and the song is not tired of new.
Zi Yan wanted to fly around the building first. The yellow warbler is delicate from the beginning.
Stir up the weeping silk and faint willows, jagged thick leaves dark mulberry.
The guest is not afraid of oblique light at night, and has its own West Garden Bright Moon Wheel.
It is not difficult to see that Wang Changling's "Grievances" was influenced by Xie Shi. This poem "Grievances" is a poem by Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty describing the psychological changes of the upper class noblewomen when they enjoy the spring. This poem profoundly depicts the delicate psychological trajectory of the young woman: there is sorrow - knowing - covering up - relieving sorrow - touching sorrow - repentance. This poem captures the waves of feelings of an innocent young woman when she ascends the stairs to look at the spring light, and expresses the idea that worldly glory is better than love day and night.
Wang Changling is good at using the Seven AbsoluteLy delicate and implicit to describe the psychological state of the palace girls and their subtle changes. This palace complaint poem such as "Grievances" and "Long Letter Autumn Words" are all well-known works. The title is "Boudoir Grievance", but at the beginning it is said that "the young woman in the boudoir has not been worried", which seems to deliberately violate the subject. In fact, the author wrote this precisely to show the psychological change process of this young woman from "from sorrow" to "regret".
The husband went on an expedition and parted for many years, and it was said that he should be worried. The reason why "I have not been worried", in addition to the fact that the heroine is young and young, has not experienced many twists and turns in life, and her family is relatively well-off (as can be seen from the next sentence "condensed makeup on the green building"), the fundamental reason lies in the atmosphere of that era. Under the influence of the fashion of the times at that time, the "Marquis of Seeking" and his "young woman in the boudoir" were full of romantic fantasies about this life path.
Judging from the word "repentance" in the last sentence, this young woman may have even played a little role in her husband's action of "seeking a marquis". A young woman who is full of optimistic prospects for life and the future is completely reasonable to "never worry" for a period of time.
The first sentence , " The young woman in the boudoir does not know how to be worried " points out " No worries " , the second sentence " Spring condensation makeup on the Green Building ", followed by the action of climbing the tower on the spring day to admire the scenery" to specifically show her "no worries". One spring morning, after some elaborate dressing and careful makeup, she climbed her own tall building. The makeup of the spring is, of course, not to dispel the melancholy (why should the makeup be condensed), but to enjoy the spring colors to entertain themselves. This sentence writes about the joy of the young woman's youth, which is precisely to prepare for the waste of youth in the next period and the resentment of youth.
The third sentence, "Suddenly see the strange head of the willow color", is the transfer of the whole poem. Strange willow color is the most common spring color, climbing the stairs to see it naturally, the word "suddenly seen" at first glance seems to be a bit abrupt. The key is that the associations and feelings caused by this "strange willow color" are very different from the psychological state of the young woman before she ascends the stairs. "Suddenly seeing" is to inadvertently look at the appropriate encounter, and the person she encountered, the ordinary stranger Yang Liu, actually evoked many of her feelings and associations that she had never been explicitly aware of.
Although "willow color" can be used as a synonym for "spring color" on many occasions, it can also be associated with the decline of pu liu first, and youth is easy to pass away; it is associated with the husband who is thousands of miles away and the farewell of the folded willow, all of which prompts her to emerge from the depths of her heart the idea that she has never been clearly aware of before but has become very strong at the moment - "repentant husband and wife looking for a marquis". This is what the title calls "grievances."
I was going to go upstairs with makeup and watch the spring colors, but instead I caused a grudge, and this change happened so quickly and suddenly that it seemed incomprehensible. The benefit of poetry is here: it vividly shows the rapid changes in the young woman's psychology, but does not say the specific reasons and specific processes of the changes, leaving sufficient room for the reader to carefully explore.
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.
