We have read modern obscure poems, in fact, there are many in ancient times. Of course, the best ancient obscure poetry is Li Shangyin, whose series of poems are many, very beautiful and lyrical, and very ethereal, which are liked and guessed by posterity.
Why is it speculative, because most of these poems are untitled poems, Li Shangyin's poetry is very high, and the main theme is implicit but not revealed. What he means is difficult for people to understand, people can only guess, and only benevolent people can see the wise.
Today we will enjoy Li Shangyin's poem "Jinse". This poem is the famous piece in his untitled poem series, which can be called a masterpiece, and it is also the most widely divided work of later interpretations. Although there is a title of "Jinse", this is taken from the first two words of the article, which is still equivalent to untitled.
"Jinse" Li Shangyin
Jinser unprovoked fifty strings, one string and one pillar Sihua Nian
Zhuang Sheng Xiao dreamed of butterflies, and wangdi chunxin trusted the cuckoo
There are tears in the pearls of the sea and the moon, and the warm jade smoke of the blue field
Can this be a memory? It was just that I was confused at the time
In terms of poetry, the literal understanding of poetry is an instrument, which should be a poem about music. However, some people think that Jinse is a maid of the Linghu Chu family, and the poems are written about the author's love for her.
However, some people think that this is a mourning poem, which is Li Shangyin's nostalgia for his deceased wife Wang. Just like Su Shi's "Jiang Chengzi", "Ten years of life and death are two unknowns". Li Shangyin was favored by Ling Hu Chu Ling Hu Shu Father and Son, and later married the daughter of Jingyuan Jiedu Wang Maoyuan.
Since then, Li Shangyin has long been in the middle of the niu-Li party struggle, and has been jealous of the two factions, and his political career has always been unsatisfactory and his career has not been smooth. Therefore, some people think that this is a political poem, writing ideals and careers. At the same time, it is also an innuendo, and then expresses the personal nostalgia.
The first link of the poem, "Jinser Unprovoked Fifty Strings, One String and One Pillar Sihua Nian", is to borrow "Jinser" to rise up and come to "Sihua Nian". There are strings and columns on the jinser, and "fifty strings" is a metaphor for the author's unsuccessful career at the age of fifty, and his review and nostalgia for the past youth.
There are four sentences in the jaw and neck, and each sentence uses an allusion to write its own life course. "Zhuang Sheng Xiao Dream Fan Butterfly", a "Xiao", a "Fan", metaphorically the beauty of youth, colorful, like a dream, like a butterfly wandering infatuated with the good spring light.
And "Wangdi Chunxin to Cuckoo", from the romance of Zhuangzi to the persistence of "Cuckoo Crying Blood". For career or love, the author is like the "Wangdi" who misses his homeland, and has always been diligent and does not dare to slacken off.
As for "there are tears in the pearls of the sea and the moon", it is written with "tears of the pearls of the sea" to write a kind of loneliness in the vastness of life. Li Shangyin's poetry is outstanding, and he is also a scholar, and he is also the weight of both the cattle monks and children Li Deyu. However, this kind of "instrument weight" eventually became a great loneliness of "not leaving", and even became a kind of harm.
What about "Blue Field Sun Warm Jade Smoke"? Although his ideals were shattered, the former friend's prime minister, Ling Fox, also became a stranger. However, when I think of the hesitation and ambition of the past for my career and poetry, and I read hard with the same window, my heart cannot help but feel as comforting and warm as "warm jade".
The poet pursued, but did not get. So his emotions are complex, with pride and excitement, but also sadness, resentment, confusion and guilt. So the poem ends with the words, "This can be a memory, but it was already confused at the time."
In those beautiful years of youth in the past, poets had great ambitions and struggled to achieve their goals. The poet met two nobles, one was the enshi LingHuchu, and the other was his father-in-law Wang Maoyuan, which gave him the initial success in his career and love.
But it was precisely because of these two things that he was disappointed and bitter. He was angry at both ends in the cracks of the Niu-Li party struggle, and not only could he never enter the upper echelons, but even his personality was criticized. Now I think that these successes and failures have become a thing of the past, but at that time, why I was so ignorant and did not seize the opportunity.
To sum up, li Shangyin's "Jinse" is writing music, love, career, or the loss of friendship, the pain of loss? It should be said that there are all. This hazy state of poetry is the true reflection of Li Shangyin's complex inner world.
Later, the Jin Dynasty poet Yuan Haoqing said in his comments on Li Shangyin, "Wangdi Chunxin entrusts cuckoos, and the beautiful JinSer complains about Hua Nian." Poets always love Xikun well, and hate no one to make Zheng Notes." Yes, Li Shangyin's poem is so confusing and ethereal, how to interpret it.
