In the northern Song Dynasty literary circles, in addition to the three fathers and sons of Su Xun and Su Shi Su Rui, there is also a pair of fathers and sons in the literary world that must be mentioned: Yan Shu and Yan Jidao. Later generations often used the term "JingLuo Tianxia" to describe Yan Shu, after all, this was a once-famous Taiping Prime Minister. But for Yan Jidao, many people often use "drunken lying in the flower bush" to describe, he is the seventh son of the prime minister born with a golden key, after the death of his father, he is proud of his talents and has no ambitions in his life.
However, Yan Shu is not remembered by the world because of his pride in the court, and Yan Shu's fame is not because of his rhymes, this father and son with very different personalities have achieved themselves because of poetry. In the previous issues, we have shared Yan Shu's classic masterpieces, and in this issue we will introduce a classic work of Yan Jidao, "Linjiang Immortal".
At that time, Yan Jidao was backward in the middle of the road, and fell in love with a singer named Xiao Ping in the workshop, and wrote this love song for her. Unexpectedly, this song has become a love song, just 4 sentences have two ancient famous sentences, let us taste a pin together:
"Linjiang Immortal" Northern song dynasty. Yan a few 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.
This is the lyricist who revisited the written lyrics after separating from Xiaoping. The upper part of the word writes about the scene in front of you waking up from a dream. In front of the building, the door of the cabinet is locked, and the curtain is also hanging low, at this time, the writer is completely drunk, remembering the scene when he was separated from each other last year, and his heart is sad. In the last sentence of the previous film, "The falling flower person is independent, and the micro swift double flies" is a famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages, this sentence introduces two images of "falling flowers" and "light rain", and then uses the contrast between "human independence" and "swallow double flying", forming a great tension, allowing the reader to be immersed in the scene and write an indescribable poignancy.
Tan Xian, the Chinese of these two sentences, said in the book "Word Discernment": "There can be no two sentences in the eternal ages." Indeed, as far as euphemisms are concerned, these 10 words are all excellent in terms of artistic conception and in terms of dispatched words. Later, many literati intended to learn it, but in the end no one could surpass the original sentence.
The next piece of the word is turned from the present to the memory. When the writer first meets each other, the other person wears a robe with a heart character. When they were separated, she played a lute song, and under the bright moon, she flew away like a beautiful cloud. In the next film, the lyricist depicts two scenes when the two people first met and separated through the details of each other's clothing and the detailed writing of the song. In the last sentence, "When the bright moon was there, once the clouds returned" is another famous sentence for thousands of years, and the addition of the bright moon and the clouds makes the whole word more distant and ethereal, and also makes the words' lovesickness more long, which is endlessly evocative.
Looking at the whole word, from the structure is layer by layer, from the dream writing to reality, from the reality of the first sight, and then to the separation, each scene word is carefully arranged, written in one go. From the artistic point of view, it is even more excellent, from the poignant beauty of the upper piece of the terrace, curtain, falling flowers, and light rain, to the moving sound of the next piece, the bright moon, and the colorful clouds, all seem to be handy, but they are natural. What is even more rare is that there are two ancient famous sentences in just a few sentences of the whole word, and I have to say that in writing euphemisms, Yan Jidao is indeed a master.
