In ancient poetry, there has always been no shortage of poems and famous sentences that write sorrow. Li Houzhuo's "Ask the King how many sorrows can there be, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward" compares sorrow to an inexhaustible river; Su Shi's "ruthless water flows from the east, carrying only one boat away from hatred and going to Xizhou" is to bring sorrow thousands of miles away; Qin Guan's "Just do the spring river is tears, and there are many sorrows flowing" is to turn invisible sorrow into tangible tears; "driving words to travel, to write my worries" is to express the chest directly; "the sill chrysanthemum sorrow smoke and orchid weeping dew, Luo Mu is cold, and the swallows fly away" is to melt the sorrow into the scenery... These melancholy brushwork, or metaphorical peculiarity, or imaginative novelty, can be said to have their own characteristics.
And li Qingzhao, the first talented woman in the ancient world, the following "Wuling Spring", is also written about sorrow, but can be introduced into the new, with its euphemistic and delicate brushwork, the meaning of the infinite desolation in his heart is very clever, when it is really "hidden in the short frame of countless twists and turns", so it has been widely praised by later generations, becoming a masterpiece of expressing sorrow and hatred throughout the ages, and at the same time, it also shows the heavy disaster brought to people by the chaos of soldiers and horses from the side, which has a very high aesthetic value.
Li Qingzhao's poem was written in the fifth year of Emperor Gaozong Shaoxing of the Song Dynasty (1135 AD), when Li Qingzhao took refuge in Jinhua, Zhejiang, when the Jin soldiers invaded, and her husband had died, and the golden stone relics and treasures brought from the north had also been scattered, and Li Qingzhao was alone, floating and displaced in the environment of the flames, which for Li Qingzhao, who had lived a good life since childhood, undoubtedly tasted the ruggedness of the world, experienced the bumps in the world, and his situation was miserable, and his heart was desolate, and people could smell tears. In this extremely sad situation, Li Qingzhao wrote this famous "Wuling Spring" lyrics, the words are:
Wuling Spring The wind has run out of dust and flowers, and the tired hair is combed in the evening. Things are people and things are not things, and tears flow first. It is said that sungai spring is still good, and it is also intended to pan a light boat. I am only afraid of the Twin Streams Ship Boat, and I can't carry many worries.
The first sentence will be the sadness of the expression, very sad, "the wind to live in the dust and flowers have been exhausted", the wind dwells, the dust fragrance, the flowers have been exhausted, everywhere hints that there have been wild winds and rains before, it is conceivable that the writer must have seen this scene of wind and rain in the room, the bitter feeling has been implied, and then although the weather has turned sunny, but the flowers have fallen into mud, the aroma has mixed with the soil, and the beautiful things have been destroyed in this way, leaving only a touch of residual fragrance, so that the "melancholy" intention has been pushed forward to a layer, and there is a great Li Hou Lord", "Flowing water and flowers fall in the spring." Helplessness, regret for spring, self-harm, and sorrow are all contained in it.
Then the lyricist further described that "the night tired of combing the hair", the high rise of the day, more unintentional combing, the girl's family was originally fond of beauty, and now the head is not combed, which shows that the deep pain brought by the death of the country and the family, and its intractable heart, is manifested on the outside.
"Things are people and not things, and tears flow first", it is even more poignant, the writer looks around, the relics are still there, but the husband has died, and he is now in the southern country, far away from his hometown, is not it "things are not people"? This kind of sadness comes from the feeling of infinite loneliness, and the lyricist summarizes it with "everything resting", which shows desolation. When the writer thinks of this, he does not know where to start, let alone to whom to say, so he has not yet spoken, and the tears have already flowed down, and this kind of poignant and moving feeling has the desolation of Sima Gong's "intestines one day and nine times".
The first two sentences of the next film, it seems that the tone of the tone has changed sharply, and the miserable feelings of the previous film have all been thrown aside, "I heard that the spring in Sungai is still good, and it is also intended to be a light boat", I heard people say that now spring is in full swing, and Sungai has infinite beauty, so the writer thinks, or it is better to go out to relax, perhaps to dispel this infinite desolate sadness in the heart.
In this way, it seems that the tone has changed, but who knows, the last two sentences turned out of the unexpected realm, "only afraid of the Shuangxi Stern [zé, měng] boat, can not carry many sorrows"! But how can the thin boat on the Twin Streams carry my thousands of sorrows! It is really "one turn and one deep, one deep and one wonderful". Sorrow, originally a matter of the heart, is an abstract thing, is an elusive thing, but Li Qingzhao "loaded" it on a small boat, giving people a visible and touchable sense of concreteness, but also afraid of too much sorrow, the boat can not move, so that sorrow, again become quality, so the virtual into reality, imagining a novel metaphor, when it is really wonderful, no wonder it can be praised by posterity as "this is not mourning, but the real mourning, the woman mourning, this should be a song for eternity."
In Li Qingzhao's lyrics, there are many good sentences for writing sorrow, such as "who is more horizontal flute, blowing thick sorrow", "now add a new melancholy", but after careful tasting, they are not as good as these two sentences written wonderfully, invisible sorrow, now have a shape, quality and dynamics, when it is really unique in rhyme, conveying the spirit of the extreme!
In addition, this word is also very distinctive in layout, is Tan Xian's "sweeping place is born" technique mentioned in the "Futang Words", which is Tan Xian's description of Ouyang Xiu's "Picking Mulberries", "After the group of fangs, the West Lake is good, the mess is red, the flying willows are dry and the sun wind is blowing; the song is scattered to the tourists, the spring sky is felt, the curtain is hanging down, and the double swallows return to the drizzle." But its practical description of Li Qingzhao's song is not impossible.
When we look at these two words, they all say at the beginning that the spring light has ended, and both are resolute, since the spring is gone, it seems that there is nothing to write down, isn't this just "sweeping" everything away? But when we read it, we find that this is not the case, the lyricist has given birth to another moving mood, the European word has given birth to a faint melancholy, and Yi An is desolate and infinite! This is the so-called "sweep is born".
Just as we went to see a movie, but we entered the scene late, missed the beginning, thought we couldn't understand the following good story, but looked at it but found that not only did not delay at all, but there was a more touching storyline, of course, this metaphor is not good, but this "sweep everywhere is born" technique, used well, can indeed increase the infinite appeal, just like this one of Yi An.
