These poems are from Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip, which means (pipa sound) as if the cold and astringent pipa sound of a spring began to condense, and the condensed but unsmooth sound was gradually interrupted. Like another kind of sadness and hatred secretly breeds; At this time, it is more touching than the sound.
The sound of "choking" is sad and choked, which is like "flowing under the ice" The coldness of visual image intensifies the coldness of auditory image. From "indifference" to "silence" is a process of "silence". The poet's quatrains of "Going into mourning and hiding deeply, silence is better than sound" describe the artistic realm with lingering sound and endless meaning, which is amazing.

In the bright moon with purple sleeves and red strings, I feel depressed when I play.

This poem is from the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's work Night Zheng. This poem is about a prostitute who plays the guzheng at night.
The first two sentences are written about a woman playing the guzheng under the bright moon in the middle of the night. While playing, she deeply felt her life. In the last two sentences, the woman stopped suddenly while playing the piano, and the piano sobbed, which contained inexhaustible meaning. The whole poem is cleverly conceived and exquisitely cut.
Comparative appreciation of Night Zheng and Pipa Xing;
The authors of Night Zheng and Pipa Xing are both Bai Juyi, but it is really difficult to cut Bai Juyi's Pipa Xing into four quatrains. The Night Zheng by Xing, the author of Pipa Xing, undoubtedly provides a very refined and condensed version.
"Purple Sleeve" and "Red String" are the names of the violinist and the violinist respectively. People who play "purple sleeves" and people who sing "white teeth" and "slim waist" (Li He's "Into the wine": "white teeth sing, slim waist dance." ), the choice of words is very neat.
"Purple sleeve and red string" not only implies the prostitute status of the pianist, but also describes the beauty of its decoration. The image of a woman who plays the guzheng is like painting. The "bright moon" points to the "night" and the moon is white and clear. What is such a good night? " If it's like "we raise our glasses to drink-but, alas, there is no music", it's inevitable that we will be "too drunk to drink". Readers can think of the bright moon night at the head of Xunyang River.
The second sentence is about playing Zheng. Even the word "Zi" is used, not to refer to a person (poem titled "Listening to the Night Zheng"), but to mean that no one is watching. It describes the form in which guzheng players devote themselves to guzheng music. "Self-playing" is a letter-playing, "She frowned and bent her fingers, and then started her music", and handy "felt herself", and the player was completely immersed in the music. Only "self-feeling" can be touching.
"Self-playing and self-feeling" vividly describes a mental state of the performer when he is inspired. In the past, most musicians and prostitutes had a tragic history. Although the Zheng people in the poem failed to express themselves like pipa girls, the word "dark: àn, gloomy" has made readers daydream.
The beauty of music lies in the sound, but there is almost no positive description of Zheng music except a general word "playing" in the poem, but then the emphasis is on the brushwork and the silent moment is written. This silence is "chord condensation" and is an organic part of music; This silence is "refers to the pharynx", which is a sudden change when the crying mood rises to the peak; This kind of silence is "silence", not just silence.
Because it is related to sound and emotion, it is different from real silence, so the feeling that listeners get from here is "don't be affectionate."
The poet is like this, not only leading readers to discover the wonderful beauty of silence ("silence is better than sound"), but also letting readers understand and imagine all the beauty of Zheng music through this silent moment. The whole story of "Night Zheng" is precisely the story of pipa, in which "the ice spring is cold and astringent, and it is absolutely fascinating." The application of this poem "fell into deep sorrow and hidden lament, and told more in silence than in sound".
However, it is worth readers' attention that the pen and ink that Pipa Xing prides itself on is a vivid description of Pipa music itself, while Night Zheng takes this description as a foil to Pipa Xing. This is no accident.
Liu Xizai, a scholar in A Qing, said: "The quatrains are deeply bent", "The front side does not write the reverse side, and neither the back side nor the side side side writes this side. If you follow the shadow, you will know the extreme. " (Art Outline) Especially in narrative, quatrains cannot unfold an event like narrative poems. Therefore, it is particularly important to cut and refine materials.
The poet's description of music here can only be a moment, which makes people see the whole picture from one point. The moment when "chord condensation refers to guttural stop" is suggestive, similar to a meaningful rest in the music score, which can arouse readers' rich association with the content of "self-playing and self-feeling". The poem starts from the side and receives the effect of "knowing the pole immediately".
