"The stars sink to the bottom of the sea, see in the window, and the rain will look across the river." What does this poem mean?

We looked up at the window, and the stars sank to the bottom of the sea, which was chilling. A rain cloud floats across the Milky Way, so we can only face each other across the river.

Excerpts from Three Poems by Bi Cheng —— Don Li Shangyin

When the twelve songs are dry, the rhinoceros turns to dust and the jade turns to cold.

There are many books attached to cranes in Yuen Long, but there are no trees in the girls' beds.

When the stars sink to the bottom of the sea, you can see them from the window. When the rain crosses the river, you can see them from another seat.

If Zhu Xiao is bright and clear, a pair of crystal plates will grow.

You live on the twelfth floor of Bixia City, and the building is winding. The rhinoceros horn hairpin is spotless, and Yu Pei can keep warm from the cold. Fairies in Xianshan, Yuen Long often use cranes to deliver letters. Affectionate female bed mountain, the tree perches phoenix Luan.

We looked up at the window, and the stars sank to the bottom of the sea, which was chilling. A rain cloud floats across the Milky Way, so we can only face each other across the river. Ah, you crystal dew, if you can't be dried by selenium like pearls, then I will never be separated from you in my life, and I will always love the crystal plate.

1, the creative background of Bi Cheng's three poems

From three to five years (827-829), the author Yu Wenzong learned from Yang Shan and had a love affair with the female crown (or Song Huayang's family). This group of poems was written in this period. Three Poems by Bi Cheng reflects the lives of some young women with special status in the Tang Dynasty.

2. Appreciation of Bi Cheng's three poems

"Bi Cheng San Poems" is one of the most difficult chapters in Li Shangyin's poems. There are always different opinions, and the protagonists of the three poems are all women. The poet did not directly say what he wanted to express, but used symbols, hints, puns, allusions and other expressions. At first glance, he seems to be in a trance and confused, and it is difficult to understand his meaning. But as long as you appreciate it repeatedly, you can still find the winding path and capture the theme of the poem.

This poem is extremely imaginative. Setting the scene in the sky and introducing Taoist legends and ancient beautiful myths into the poem not only shows the theme of the poem well, but also makes the poem look extremely magnificent. Especially the third, the novelty of conception, the grandeur of scenes, the clever use of allusions and the profound meaning of words have all reached high attainments.
