When you return home, put candlelight red, and wait for the horseshoe to clear the night moon.

Appreciation
This word is a masterpiece created by Li Yu in the heyday of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The upper part of the word mainly writes about the grand scene of the spring night feast. The first sentence highlights the makeup and beauty of the concubines who "have begun to make up the evening", thus writing the author's flying interest in these bright and beautiful people, and at the same time rendering the luxurious and luxurious beauty of the night feast from the beginning. Following the two sentences of feast music, the song and dance debut, and the author writes about the melodiousness of the music and the beauty of the utensils. For example, the word Sheng Zhen can give people a feeling of exquisite and luxurious, which coincides with the luxurious hedonistic life and mood described in the words. And "blowing" as "blowing off", "pressing" as "re-pressing", not only can the words and words show the author's laissez-faire and extravagantity, but also very expressively give the music a strong emotional color. According to Ma Ling's Book of Southern Tang, "At the height of the Tang Dynasty, the Neon Dress Feather Robe was the most important, and it was chaotic, and the master was absent from his post, and his sound was extinguished. After the Lord obtained his own score, the musician Cao Sheng was also good at pipa, and according to the score, he got his sound, but he was not perfect. (Da Zhou) After the change is easy to false, quite to wow, rich and new sounds, Qing Yue can be heard. "Li Yu and Da Zhou Hou are proficient in musical rhythms, and the love between the two is deep, not to mention that "Neon Dress Feather Coat" was originally a famous song of Tang Xuanzong, first lost and then gained, and then discovered and personally sorted out by Li Yu and Zhou Hou, at this time played in the palace, naturally very happy. Therefore, it is not only necessary to "re-press", but also to "sing through", which can also be imagined as the author's indulgence.
The next film of the word is to describe the scene of the song finally dispersing and stepping on the moon and returning drunk. The sentence "Linchun" is clearly to write incense, dark is to write wind, dark incense drifts with the wind, the lyricist is interested in Shanshan, from the word "who is more", more lively and elegant. The word "drunken beat" comes out bluntly, write drunk, write with pleasure and paste to the extreme. Up to this point, the author has the appreciation of sight, the enjoyment of hearing, the aftertaste of smelling incense, coupled with the drunken beat from the intention of drinking, it is the entertainment of polar color, sound, incense, and taste in one place, the heart is relaxed, excited, so it is "love and taste", drowning in it can not extricate itself. The last two sentences, writing wine and song, but written meaningfully, the afterglow is not exhausted, so it has always been praised by people. In the "Commentary on the Words of the Mountain People of Yizhou", it is praised as "Zhiyu Ye". Ye Jiaying, a modern person, once commented on this sentence in detail: "The Hou Lord is really a person who knows the most about the taste of life. Moreover, the three words 'stepping on the horse's hoof' are written very eloquently, one, the word 'stepping' can make people think of the sound of the horse's hoof in both sound and sense; second, not 'stepping on the horse's hoof' but 'stepping on the horse's hoof', can give the reader a double feeling, that is, not only to step on the horse's hoof, but also to step under the horse's hoof is such a clear night of the moon, and the sound of the trance is in the ears. This kind of innocent and indulgent lyricism brings the reader an extremely real feeling. Reading these two sentences, you can not only feel the author's intoxicated mood, but also see the quiet and clean moonlit night beauty, and you can also see the elegant and leisurely pleasure of the literati rioters who are full of the author.
The whole word brushwork is natural and unrestrained, the meaning is smooth and flowing, the language is bright and straight, and the situation depiction is moving. Starting from the scene of personal court life, although the author has a relatively strong rich and noble fat powder, he fails to show profound ideological content, but in just one article, he vividly shows the situation of a grand feast, the artistic depiction is vivid and realistic, the scene portrayal is delicate and moving, from the metaphor to see the feelings, in the plain white, it is far away, fully showing the author's exquisite artistic skills, is "a small word written with extremely handsome and flying".
