*** The original text, annotations and appreciation of the poem "Butterfly Loves Flowers·A Reply to Li Shuyi"
(May 11, 1957)
I lost my arrogance, Yang Jun lost my willow, and the willow flew straight up to the sky. Asked what Wu Gang owned, Wu Gang held out osmanthus wine. The lonely Chang'e spreads her sleeves and dances for her loyal soul in the sky. Suddenly it was reported that there had been a tiger crouching in the world, and tears flew down like a downpour.

Where can I find the recruiter? There has been no news for six years. When I wake up and recall her, my clothes are full of tears. "On May 11, *** wrote back to Li Shuyi, saying: "After reading the masterpiece, I felt that the one mentioned by Kai Hui was not good, so why not write it? I have a song like "Youxian" as a gift.

Comments< /p>
The creation of this poem records a good story in the world of poetry. This is the response of life where friendship, family affection, and revolutionary sentiment blend together. Li Shuyi wrote and asked for ***'s old work "Poppy Poppy on the Pillow". And *** was attracted by Li Shuyi's sentimental words, so he gave him new words. Yang and Li were classmates; Mao and Liu were comrades-in-arms; Li and Liu were married to Yang because of their marriage; Mao lost his wife and Li lost his husband; misfortunes in life, how similar are they? The word "Butterfly Loves Flowers" is a double memory and double comfort, which is also a comforting work.
Shangqiu started writing from Shuangshuang’s “loss”. "I lost my arrogance to Yang Jun and lost my willow." I compete with you, and Yang and Willow compete with each other. They have a parallel and equal relationship and share similar fates. The word "lost" appears twice, creating an atmosphere of remembrance and mourning at the beginning. The word "Jiaoyang" has a long and profound meaning. Zhang Shizhao's "Biography of Yang Huaizhong" (i.e. Yang Changji. Yang Kaihui's father) records: "When he was more than 20 years old, Mao Gong wrote the sentence "I lost my arrogance and Yang Jun lost his willow". I asked Mao Gong to help me. What is arrogance? The Duke said: How can a woman not be arrogant if she loses her head during the revolution? ""Yangliu Qing", a wonderful word that comes from time to time, is a double entendre, referring to both trees and people. The poplars and catkins blowing in the wind do not refer to food and drink, but to who and what they mean. Wu Gang "holds" wine, and his cousins ??respect him. Flowers are laid on the ground, toasts are made in heaven, and we remember each other forever.
The lower line reads "The lonely Chang'e spreads her sleeves and dances for her loyal soul in the sky thousands of miles away". Eliminate many transitional words.
"Loneliness" is the normal life of Chang'e. Only when the heroic spirit comes back to break the "loneliness" for thousands of years can the "sleeve-relaxing" dance take place. In fact, dancing for "comfort" is more relevant. After writing this, the poet finally arranged the quietest, most harmonious, and most humane destination for his relatives in heaven. This is a literary fiction of myth and has nothing to do with superstition. The sentence "Sudden Report" starts suddenly and ends suddenly. Tigers crouch in the world and tears fly from the sky. The weeping here should be weeping for extreme joy!
There is a gap in the word, that is, the subject of the word "hubao" is unknown. Who went to the moon palace to "report unexpectedly"? The only thing that makes sense is that the earth-shattering changes in the human world were heard and seen by the long-term residents and temporary residents in the Moon Palace, so they acted "unexpectedly". One word brought the distance between heaven and earth closer, and also brought Yang and Liu Yingling closer to their victorious relatives and the dramatically changed motherland.
Imagination supports the brilliance of poetry. The artistic imagination of this poem is inspired by family memories, relying on mythology and classics, and flies to the extreme of beauty.
