This sentence comes from the ancient poem "Song of Eternal Sorrow" by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
Appreciation: This narrative poem tells the love tragedy of Xuanzong and Yang Guifei in the Anshi Rebellion with refined language, beautiful images, narration and lyricism: their love was destroyed by their own rebellion, and they are endlessly eating the bitter fruit of this spirit. Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei are both historical figures. Poets do not stick to history, but rely on a little shadow of history. According to the legend of the people at that time, the singing of the neighborhood has degenerated into a tortuous and touching story, which is described and sung in a reciprocating and touching art form. Because the stories and characters in the poem are artistic, and they are the complex and true reappearance of people in reality, they can ripple in the hearts of readers in past dynasties.
The whole article is divided into three parts: the first part is from the beginning to "and the tune of rainbow skirt and feather coat is broken" The poet wrote the love life of Tang and Yang Guifei in 32 sentences, describing the situation of famine and chaos in the country and the outbreak of Anshi rebellion. The second part, from "Forbidden City, nine-story palace, looming in the dust" to "but no beloved soul visited his dream", contains 42 sentences, in which Yang Guifei was killed in the Mayiyi mutiny and Tang Xuanzong's thoughts after that; "There lived a Taoist in Lingqiong, and he was a guest in heaven" is the last part of this poem, which tells the story of the Taoist who helped Tang Xuanzong find Yang Guifei in Xianshan.
At the beginning of the poem, the poet explained the causes of the unrest in the Tang Dynasty and revealed the tragic factors of the story. It seems very common, as if the story should be written from here, without the attention of the author. In fact, these seven words are extremely rich, which is the whole program, which not only reveals the tragic factors of the story, but also evokes and directs the whole poem. Everything that follows comes from this. After that, the poems were gradually unfolded, and they were described in layers: first, Tang Xuanzong emphasized color, and then, after seeking color in many ways, Yang Guifei, "As long as she turned her head and smiled, there would be a hundred spells, and the makeup of the sixth house would go up in smoke", was finally taken into her arms. Then, describe Yang Guifei's beauty and how charming she is, so she is favored in the harem. "Sisters and brothers are all listed in the soil", as the saying goes, "One person gets the word, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", and Yang's family became powerful and arrogant because of Yang Guifei. Tang Xuanzong, who got Yang Guifei, lived a life of indulgence and pleasure, indulging in singing and dancing and drinking all day long, so that he became "the emperor, and abandoned his early listening". The poet played up this for many times, thus pointing out the reasons for the outbreak of An Shi Rebellion. This part is the basis of the whole love tragedy and the internal cause of "long hatred". "The poet ironically introduced the hero and heroine of the story to us through the realism of this court life: an emperor who valued the country and despised the people, and a charming and spoiled concubine. This also vividly implies that the misunderstanding of Tang Xuanzong is the root of this tragedy.
In this love tragedy, the death of Yang Guifei is the key plot. In particular, the poet described the second part of the scene in which the emperor's military forces fled to the southwest after the Anshi Rebellion, especially the destruction of the love between Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei in this turmoil. This is why Yang Guifei died. "The Sixth Army refused to send Yang Guifei" and demanded that Yang Guifei be executed, indicating that the love and infatuation of Tang Xuanzong for Yang Guifei caused public outrage. Here, the poet described their whereabouts in six sentences: "The people in the army stopped, and no one would move until under their hooves, and they might trample on those moths. The gorgeous hairpin fell to the ground, and no one picked it up, a green and white Hosta and a golden hairy bird. The emperor couldn't save her, so he had to cover his face. Later, when he turned to look, there was blood and tears. "Sadness is beyond words. After Yang Guifei's death, the poet did not directly describe the lovesickness of Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty, but grasped the "hate" in the spiritual world of the characters to express his lovesickness. From "hiding in the yellow dust blown by a cold wind" to "no beloved spirit came to visit his dream", the poet grasped the "hate" in the spiritual world of the characters and described the loneliness and sadness of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty in Shu after Yang Guifei's death with a sour and touching style. He also remembered the past on the road, what he saw, heard and thought after returning to the palace, touching the scene and feeling, and things are all kinds of feelings that people have to rest all year round. Wait, it all shows how much he misses Yang Guifei. This part of the language is euphemistic and implicit, with a touching tone, which makes people sad to read.
At this point in the poem, the "hate" of "long hate" has been written very touching, and it seems that the ending of the story is OK. But the poet's pen is curved. With the help of the colorful wings of imagination, he conceived a charming fairyland, which pushed the plot of the tragic story to a climax and made the story more tortuous, ups and downs. This turning point is both unexpected and reasonable. Due to the constant contradiction and collision between subjective desire and objective reality, poetry vividly shows the psychology of the characters, and the story is more moving.
From "There lived a Taoist priest in Lingqiong who was a guest in the sky" to the end of the poem, Taoist writers helped Xuanzong find Yang Guifei. The poet used a romantic technique. Suddenly he went to heaven and then to the ground. "Above, he looked for the green void, below, the yellow spring, but he didn't find the person he was looking for in either place." After entering the earth, Yang Guifei appeared in the illusory sea fairyland with the image of "tears falling from her sad white face, like spring rain on pear flowers" and sent a message reaffirming her initial oath. Take care of Tang Xuanzong's thoughts about her, and further deepen and render the theme of "Song of Eternal Sorrow". Xue Xue's "A Spoon of Poetry": "White Xiangshan" and tears flow down her sad white face, just like the spring rain on pear flowers. Some like their works, while others despise their vulgarity. Dongpo's fine print:' Therefore, we will bid farewell to the wonderful tone and watch the rain fall on the pear branches.' People say it uses Xiangshan language, and it turns stone into gold. Absolutely not. Xiangshan Guan, Dongpo Ruixin, wife and handmaid each have their own attitudes. "At the end of the poem, use" the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever; One day, both will end, and this endless sadness will go on forever ",pointing out the theme, so that this love tragedy can be fully reflected here. At the beginning of the response, it is "silent", giving readers room for association and aftertaste.
