The poet borrowed many allusions, such as Zhuang Sheng's dream butterfly, the tears of Du Fu, the tears in the sea, the smoke in the fertile fields and so on. And use metaphor, association and imagination to transform their auditory feelings into visual images, and create a hazy realm with the combination of fragments of images, thus conveying their sincere, strong and profound thoughts with the help of visually perceptible poetic images.
2. The attached original text is as follows:
Inlaid harp
Tang Li Shangyin
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring.
Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun.
A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it.
translate
Thuben has twenty-five strings, but this poem was written after the death of Li Shangyin's wife, so fifty strings mean broken strings.
But even so, every string and syllable of it is enough to express the yearning for that wonderful time. This sentence is a turning point. )
Zhuang Zhou actually knows that he is just a butterfly yearning for freedom. This sentence is an interpretation of the year of China. )
Wang Di's beautiful heart and behavior can move Du Fu. This sentence is also an explanation of the year of China. )
The shadow of the bright moon on the sea turned into tears like pearls. Metaphor refers to the poet's sorrow. Even on a bright night, I still think of tears. )
Only then can Lantian in another place produce something as beautiful as smoke. (alluding to the poet's dissatisfaction with the social situation at that time. )
Those beautiful things and years can only stay in memories. (also refers to a person's nostalgia for youth. )
At that time, those people thought those things were just ordinary, but they didn't know how to cherish them. It also refers to my attitude towards life when I was young, so I don't know how to cherish it. )
Third, the creative background:
Li Shangyin is talented and quick-thinking. He was admitted to a scholar in his early twenties. He was jealous of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and was not brushed off. Since then, he has never met his talent. In the "Niu Li Party Struggle", the two sides are in a dilemma, full of doubts, repeatedly rejected, and their ambitions are difficult to achieve. Losing his wife in middle age, expressing his feelings by writing poems, is despised by people. [4] This poem was written in the author's later years, and there have always been different opinions on the creative intention of the poem Jinse. Or think it's patriotic, or think it's a memorial to his dead wife, or think it's a theory of self-injury, or think it's a pen to express your thoughts and treat your children. The Historical Records of Feng Chan contains 50 strings of Guser, while the latter is generally 25 strings. However, this poem was written after the death of Li Shangyin's wife, so 50 strings have the meaning of broken strings (once the 25-string Gusser string is broken in half, it is 50 strings), but even so, every string and syllable of it is enough to express the yearning for that wonderful time.
Four. About the author:
Li Shangyin, a native of Yuxi, xi, was a famous poet Fan Nansheng in the Tang Dynasty. His ancestral home is Qinyang, Hanoi (now Jiaozuo, Henan) and Xingyang, Zhengzhou. He is good at poetry writing, and his parallel prose also has high literary value. He is one of the most outstanding poets in the late Tang Dynasty. Together with Du Mu, it is called "Xiao", and together with Wen, it is called "Wen Li". Because his poems and essays are similar to the paragraphs and essays of the same period, all three of them rank sixteenth in the family, so they are also called "Thirty-six Style". His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems are touching, beautiful and moving, and are widely read. However, some poems are too obscure to be solved, and there is even a saying that "poets always love Quincy and hate that no one writes about Jian Zheng". Caught in the struggle between Niu and Li, I was frustrated all my life. After his death, he was buried in his hometown of Qinyang (now the junction of Qinyang and Aibo County in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province). His works are included in Li Yishan's poems.
