Lonely and cold, walking up the building,

Silver hooligans are like poor autumn.

Looking back at the screen, the light smoke, the flowing water, the mood is faint.

Flying freely is as light as a dream,

Continuous silk rain is as thin as sorrow.

Look again, the curtain of jewelry hangs on the silver hook at will.

Brief introduction of the author

Qin Guan (1049- 1 100): a poet in the northern song dynasty. The word Shaoyou was born in Gaoyou, Yangzhou (now Gaoyou, Jiangsu). 36-year-old Jinshi. Dr. imperial academy and Professor Cai Zhou, editor of National History Institute. In the dispute between the old party and the new party, he was repeatedly hit by his close relationship with Su Shi, exiled to Zhangzhou, Chenzhou, Hengzhou, Leizhou and other remote areas, and finally died in Tengzhou. Qin Guan, one of the "Four Bachelor of Sumen", is famous for his ci, which is appreciated by Su Shi. His poetic style is graceful, delicate, feminine and charming, and his mood is low and sad, and his thoughts are sad. He has always been regarded as one of the representative writers of graceful and restrained school. It had a great influence on later poets.

Qin Guan was a famous poet in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty. Together with Huang Tingjian, Zhang Lei and Chao Bu, they are called "Four Bachelor of Su Men", which is quite appreciated by Su Shi. In the 11th year of Xining (1078), Su Shi praised him as a "talent of the Song Dynasty". In the seventh year of Yuanfeng (1084), after Qin Guan compiled ten volumes of Poems and Fu, Su Shi recommended it to Wang Anshi, who called it "the achievement of Bao Xie Qing Xin". Qin Guan's literary achievements are remarkable because he has been repeatedly taught by famous teachers and often learned from fellow travelers. He is gifted and brilliant. Later, in the eighth year of Yuanfeng (1085), he was admitted as a scholar. At the beginning, it was the main book of dinghai, Professor Cai Zhou. In the second year of Yuan You (1087), Su Shi was recommended as Dr. imperial academy. Later, he was transferred to Zheng Sheng as secretary and editor of the National Institute of History. After Zhezong came to power in Shao Shengyuan (1094), the "new party" came to power, and many people in the "old party" were ousted. Qin Guan was sentenced to Hangzhou, and was demoted to Zhou, where he served as the wine tax supervisor. After moving to Chenzhou, Hengzhou was compiled and moved to Leizhou. After Hui Zong acceded to the throne, Qin Guan was appointed as Fu Xuandelang, and died in Tengzhou on his way back to the North. His prose is good at argument, and The History of Song Dynasty evaluates his prose as "gentle and thoughtful". His poems are good at lyricism. Taosun Ao's Poetry Review said: "Qin Shaoyou is like a woman swimming in spring, but she is weak in the end." He was a famous graceful poet in the late Northern Song Dynasty. His poems mostly describe the feelings of men and women and express the sadness of career frustration. His writing is skillful and delicate, with harmonious melody and winning charm. His ci has always enjoyed a high reputation. However, his words were euphemistic and melancholy. Some works are exquisite after all. His representative works include Queqiao Fairy, Clouds are light and the wind is light, Looking at the Tide of the Sea, Meiying, Man Fang Ting, Wei Yun and so on. "If the relationship between the two is long-lasting, sooner or later!" Known as "turning decay into magic", the phrase "there is a setting sun outside, there is a Western jackdaw number in the west, and the water flows around the lonely village" is called "naturally eloquent". Zhang's etymology in the Southern Song Dynasty: "The Ci system is elegant, vigorous and persistent, beautiful and meaningful, chewing without me, and knowing the taste for a long time." For details about his life, see Biography of Wen Yuan in Song Dynasty. He is the author of 40 volumes of Huaihai Ji, as well as works such as Huaihai Jushi's Long and Short Sentences, Persuading Good Records and Anti-Travel Ji. . The Silkworm Book compiled by him is the earliest extant monograph on sericulture in China. Calligraphy is very good. The lower case is like Zhong Wang, vigorous and lovely. The cursive script has the flavor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the lower case is like Yan Zhenqing. After four years (1 130), Qin Guan was posthumously awarded the title of "Bachelor of Zhilong Tuge" by the Southern Song Dynasty court, and was later called "Huaihai Gong".

Interpretation of poetry

In the chilly weather in spring, I boarded the small building alone, and the morning sky seemed like a cloud in late autumn. The light smoke on the indoor painting screen is faint, and the water is gurgling. The petals flying freely in the sky are as light as a dream at night, and the rain in the sky is as thin as the sorrow in my heart. Go back indoors and hang the curtains with small silver hooks at will.

Appreciation of poetry and prose

This poem expresses the poet's yearning for physical and mental freedom.

In late spring and March, people are in the small building. I can't get rid of the haze when I get up in the morning, but I'm cold and tired. "The solar terms are as cold as autumn", and poets who can't resist the cold are so disgusted with this weather that they can't help cursing "hooligans". Looking back at the room, I found a picture of "light smoke and flowing water" on the screen, hazy and far away, which made me feel a little worried about spring. He looked out of the window intently: the fallen flowers danced freely with the breeze, just like a dream; Slender light rain, boundless, like a worry. "Flying Flowers" and "Dreams", "Silk Rain" and "Sorrow" are concrete and abstract. Originally, the two were not related, but poets found that both of them had the characteristics of "lightness" and "beauty", which constituted two vivid metaphors of ethereal and wonderful. No wonder Liang Qichao called it "strange language". The last sentence is to gain something, to melt feelings into the scenery, to turn movement into stillness, and to have a long artistic conception, which makes people memorable.

8. Freedom: Freedom.

9. Silk rain: Mao Mao rain.
