There is a way to "fight the tiger brothers, fight the father and son soldiers". In the millennium literary world, there are not a few fathers and sons who have joined hands to break into the literary world, but there are only a few who can really break through the fame, and the father and son of Yan Shu and Yan Jidao are one of the few.
I don't know whether it is "the son inherits the father's business" or "imperceptibly", Yan Shu and Yan JiDao father and son are in the same vein. They all write more about traditional themes such as nostalgia for the situation and parting from sorrow, and their style is also based on elegance and gentleness. However, after all, the old father Yan Shu is in a high position of power, and the officials worship the prime minister, so most of his lyrics are mainly for recreation, and there is a meaning of writing words for the sake of writing words, "working on the creation of language". Son Yan Jidao is much more bumpy than his father, although he was born an official eunuch, but he was frustrated in his career, and the backward life in the family road is also poor and depressed, so his words have a little more true feeling than his father Yan Shu, and the word style is more sentimental and poignant, "good at words".
Moreover, Yan Shu and Yan Jidao both have a hobby, that is, they love to "borrow" the poems of their predecessors to write their own works. There are not a few literati who use the poems of their predecessors in practice, but generally they will make modifications to the original verses, so as to better fit the scenes depicted in their poems and the emotions expressed. However, the borrowing of several fathers and sons of Yan Shuyan is almost "copied", just like Yan Shu's "Magnolia Flowers" has "long than the spring dream, scattered like autumn clouds have nowhere to find", which is to bai Juyi's "Flowers and non-flowers" in the verse "Come like a spring dream for a few more times, go to the clouds without finding a place" simply rewritten 4 words.
Compared with Yan Shu's "borrowing", Yan Jidao can be said to be more than enough, he has a thousand ancient songs "Linjiang Immortal Dream After the High Lock of the Building", written in a blended scene, has been respected by future generations. Tan Xian, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, even praised the two famous sentences in this poem in the book "Debate of Words", "There can be no two in eternity". It seems that Tan Xian seems to have a lot of respect for the word Yan Jidao, but there is a "misunderstanding" in it, which makes people have to suspect that Tan Xian, who praises Yan Jidao, may be the "black powder" of Yan Jidao. Why? Let's walk into Yan Jidao's "Linjiang Immortal Dream Back Terrace High Lock" with me to find out.
"Linjiang Immortal" After the dream, the platform is locked high, and the curtain hangs low. Last year, when the spring hatred came, the falling flowers were independent, and the micro swifts flew twice. I remember the first sight of Xiao Apple, two heavy heart words Luo Yi. The pipa strings say acacia, when the moon was there, and the clouds returned.
Yan Jidao this song is written in memory of a singer named Xiao Apple. The first two sentences of the Shang dynasty express the parting of sorrow and hatred that is difficult for the lyricist to dispel through the depiction of two different scenes. After waking up from the dream, I looked at the high terrace, where the doors and windows were locked and empty. In fact, from here we can guess that the dream of the lyricist is to meet her on the platform of the building. But she has left, all the meetings can only be in dreams, the lyricist's melancholy can be imagined, so on weekdays, it is indispensable to borrow wine to pour sorrow, perhaps after drunkenness can be briefly forgotten, but after the wine wakes up, looking at the heavy curtain hanging low, the inner thoughts are longer, and the gloom that has been briefly forgotten has struck again.
The next three sentences play a role in carrying forward the past and the future. This melancholy is not recently lingering in the hearts of the lyricists, but has begun since last spring, which shows that the lyricist and the woman have been in love for a long time and have been separated for a long time. Now only the lyricist stands alone among the falling flowers, watching the swallows flying in the drizzle. The double flight of the swallow is used to set off the shape of the lyricist, which makes the sorrow expressed by the lyricist more profound.
The first two sentences of the next sentence are the lyricist's memories of the scene when the two first met. Although the time has passed, the lyricist still clearly remembers that when he first saw Xiao Ping, he was wearing a small shirt embroidered with two heavy words, and the "heart character Luo Yi" here is actually an expression of the love between the lyricist and the little apple at first sight and mutual admiration.
The last three sentences of the lyricist's recollection of the scene when the two were separated. In the sound of the pipa, the two told about the parting of sorrow, and the lovesickness that was about to be provoked after the separation, when the moonlight was bright and the little apple was like a cloud on the edge of the sky. The words stop abruptly here, but they leave the reader with unlimited imagination space, which can be described as endless and endless.
Carefully read a few words of Yan Dao, and the writing is indeed lingering. In particular, "the falling flower people are independent, and the micro swifts fly twice" is even more ingenious, which is also a famous sentence praised by Tan Xian as "there can be no two in eternity". So why would I say that Tan Xian may be the "black powder" of Yan Jidao? The reason is that these two sentences are not original to Yan Jidao, but he copied the original sentences in the "Spring Residue" of the five generations of poets Wen Chao Weng Hong, and did not modify them all the time. Therefore, Tan Xian's so-called "there can be no two in eternity" is not true, because Yan Jidao himself is that "two".
