Ouyang Xiu was a famous writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, and at the same time, he also achieved the highest official position of participating in the government affairs, equivalent to the deputy prime minister, and stayed in the position of phase for nearly ten years. However, even with such achievements, his career is still bumpy, and he has been impeached by political enemies more than once and relegated. Such a degrading experience has devastated his body and mind.
Later, in the fourth year of Xi Ning (1071), the 64-year-old Ouyang Xiu resigned and no longer worried about the affairs of the court. In the late spring of this year, Ouyang Xiu came to the West Lake to play and wrote ten poems "Picking Mulberries", one of which I want to introduce today. Two years later, in 1073, the article Taishou Ouyang Xiu passed away.
The film on this song writes about the pomp and circumstance of people playing in the West Lake. The next film, writing about the quiet scene of the West Lake after people leave.
The opening of the film reads "The West Lake is good after the Qunfang", after the hundred flowers withered, the scenery of the West Lake is still very beautiful. A "good" word, you can see the good scenery of the West Lake, Ouyang Xiu when visiting the West Lake in a pleasant and comfortable mood. "Wolf is red", withered flowers falling to the ground, looking like a mess. In the face of the flowers falling on the ground in the late spring, most people will feel sad and regretful, but Ouyang Xiu does not think so, he still thinks that the twilight spring scenery of the West Lake is beautiful. Perhaps, it is because he is more than sixty years old, accustomed to seeing spring and autumn, and knows that the fall of red is like this every year, even if it withers, it will bloom again next year. And the remnants of flowers that have fallen into the mud, compared with the flowers that bloom on the branches, also have a sad beauty and a unique charm.
"Flying willows", the fluttering willows are misty. The willows are flying all over the sky, just like the falling flowers in the previous sentence, which are typical scenes common in the late spring season. "Weeping willows dry and windy", by the railing, the branches of the willows are fluttering in the wind all day long, swaying and swaying. The last sentence of the film vividly describes the graceful gesture of the willow being blown by the spring wind.
The film depicts the outdoor scenery in the late spring, and it is at such a time and environment that people still play together, which shows that the West Lake in late spring also has a cute and worthy side. In the next film, the lyricist writes about their feelings after the tourists leave, and the location has also been moved from outdoor to indoor.
"Sheng Song scattered all the tourists to go", Sheng Song has been dispersed, and the tourists have also left. "Spring is clear", I only found that spring has become empty. When the tourists have left, a sense of emptiness arises in the heart of the writer. How much prosperity, in the end, lonely. Maybe the world is like this, life can't always be at the peak of the bustle, there will always be a time when the song ends and people disperse and return to silence.
"Hang down the curtains" and lower the curtains of the doors and windows. "Double swallows return in the drizzle", because the double swallows have returned from the gentle drizzle. After witnessing the grand situation of the people on the West Lake, after the people left, Ouyang Xiu suddenly felt empty, so he no longer stopped to watch, but turned around and returned to the house, and when the swallows returned, he lowered the curtain. No matter how the outside world changes, he finally has his own side of the small world, where he can do whatever he wants, unrestrained.
Ouyang Xiu's poem, a white depiction of the twilight spring scene of the West Lake, without too much embellishment, appears sparse and bright, and creates a natural and beautiful word context. After retirement, Ouyang Xiu was far away from the disturbances of the court, and his mood was relaxed and comfortable, so even in the late spring when the flowers were withering, he did not hurt the spring, but still felt that the scenery of the West Lake was very beautiful, which can be said to be allegorical to the scenery and sincere. Yes, what a person thinks in his heart, he will see something.
