Some people say: If you haven't missed someone late at night, then you must not understand love.
What is it like to miss someone late at night?
Li Shangyin understood best.
On this day, he was in Prachuap Khiri Khan when he received a letter from his wife asking him when he would be home. The lost Li Shangyin wrote a poem, the whole poem 28 words translated, that is: I miss you.
This poem is "Night Rain Sends North" which was called "high singing" by the great talent Ji Xiaolan.
"Night Rain Sends North"
Junwen returned to the autumn pond at night.
He Dang cut the candle in the west window together, but when it rained at night.
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin was definitely the most capable of writing love poems.
A classic "untitled" poem, leaving many classic popular sentences.
Spring silkworm to the end of the dead silk, the wax torch into gray tears began to dry.
There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart has a sharp point.
Spring hearts are not common flowers, an inch of acacia and an inch of ash!
Liu Lang already hated Pengshan Mountain, and even more 10,000 pounds across Pengshan Mountain.
Xiao Qiqi often wondered, Li Shangyin, who wrote a beautiful love poem, what kind of person did he like?
Li Shangyin has been talented and knowledgeable since childhood.
In the third year of Kaicheng, Jingyuan Jiedu made Wang Maoyuan admire him very much and married his daughter to Li Shangyin.
Because of this marriage, Li Shangyin was in the cracks of the "cow and Lee party struggle" and had no ambitions all his life.
Fortunately, Li Shangyin and his wife Wang Shi have similar interests and are an enviable loving couple.
Although it is the order of his parents, Li Shangyin wrote in the poem "Shake Down": "Love was hurt late, and the worries have been restored to this day."
Combined with the Wang family, Li Shangyin felt that it was too late, which showed that the two were very close.
Wang is also very talented, and the husband and wife often talk together.
Li Shangyin once had a poem: The spring breeze is still doubtful, and the snow is like flying endlessly.
It is conceivable that Li Shangyin once joined sentences with his wife, sentence after sentence, endlessly.
Li Shangyin survived all his life in the cracks of the "Cow and Lee Party Struggle", depressed and unmotivated, he went to various shogunates as an official, and gathered less with his wife.
During his separation from his wife, he wrote many famous works of thought, such as "Duanju", "Night Meaning", "Fables" and so on.
In the fifth year of Da Zhong (851), Li Shangyin went to Dongchuan Jiedu to make Liu Zhongyin an official in the shogunate of Zizhou, and while in the land of Bashu, he received a letter from his wife asking him when he would return home.
Li Shangyin looked up at the window, the autumn rain outside did not stop, and soon the pond was full of water.
The rain brought sorrow, brought thoughts, and God knows, his thoughts of his wife, like this autumn rain, were endless.
Oh, when will our husband and wife be able to snuggle up under the west window again, I will tell you that tonight I miss you deeply in the night rain of Bashan.
The most beautiful emotions are two-way, like Li Shangyin in this poem.
There is not a single word "think" in the whole poem, but every sentence is "I miss you".
The wife wrote to ask him when he would return home, which was her thought of him.
And he looked at the endless autumn rain outside the window, and his thoughts for his wife were even stronger. He envisions a distant future: when we get together, I'll tell you what I miss you tonight.
"He Dang" seems to be shouted out from the poet's heart, full of good wishes to be with his wife, and it is also the deepest expression of Li Shangyin's thoughts about his wife at this moment.
Some people say that "Night Rain Sends North" is not as good as many of Li Shangyin's "Untitled" poems.
There is no affectionate entanglement of "spring silkworms to the end of the dead silk, wax torches into gray tears and begin to dry", and there is no spiritual communication of "no color phoenix double wings, and a spirit and a sharp heart".
In Xiao Qi's view, "Night Rain Sending North" is a warm affection that can be touched by hand and felt in the heart, and it is the gentle companionship of two hearts in the earthly world.
If the poem "Untitled" is a gorgeous brocade, then "Night Rain Sends North" is like a warm shirt, touching it. The love in "Untitled" makes people yearn, while the thought of "Night Rain Sends North" makes people warm.
Li Shangyin is unfortunate, he has been politically unhappy all his life, and his ambitions are difficult to extend, fortunately, he has a wife who understands him, who is dependent on each other and comforts each other.
In those difficult years, whenever I think of my wife, a warm current will rise in my heart, fortunately, I still have you.
However, after 13 years of companionship, his wife gave up, and the grief-stricken Li Shangyin wrote many mourning poems to remember the good times spent with his wife.
The friend could not bear to see Li Shangyin's lonely life, and wanted to give him a singer, but he politely refused: Although I have written many beautiful love poems, I am not a frivolous person.
Until the end, Li Shangyin was a person.
Maybe his answer is hidden in "Night Rain Sends North", I once loved someone deeply, and since she left, I can't afford to fall in love with someone else.
