Mao Yi, the son of Jiangcheng, remembers dreams on the 20th day of the first month.
Su Shi
Ten years of life and death are two boundless, disapproving and unforgettable. A lonely grave thousands of miles away, desolate and nowhere to talk about. Even if we don't know each other, our faces are dusty and our temples are frosty.
At night, I suddenly dreamed of going home, and the window of Xiao Xuan was being decorated. Care for each other without words, only tears thousands of lines are expected to break the heart, and the moon and night are short and loose.

Two people have been dead for a lifetime, isolated for ten years, and there is no news. Restrain yourself from thinking, but it will be unforgettable. His wife's lonely grave is thousands of miles away, and there is no place to tell her sadness. Even if we meet, I don't expect to know each other, because I'm running around, dusty and cold.
At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown in a vague dream, only to see my wife dressing up in front of the mirror in the small window. The two men looked at each other, and they didn't know where to start with a thousand words, only tears fell thousands of lines in relative silence. It stands to reason that the grave mountain with the bright moon and small pine trees is where I miss my wife every year.

In the history of China literature, there have been "Mourning Poems" since the Book of Songs. Until Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty, Pan Yue in the Western Jin Dynasty and Yuan Zhen in the Middle Tang Dynasty were the most famous mourning poems (words). In the late Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin also wrote a play on Shu. Their works are sad and touching. Or write that after his lover left, he was lonely and sad, and he was sad to see the relics; Or the writer is now extremely rich, recalling the past and lamenting that the world is cold and the fate is impermanent; Or express your profound thoughts and memories with vague words and colors, which is heartbreaking to read. Su Shi's Jiangchengzi is also a memorial work. However, compared with predecessors, the expressive art of Dongpo's first words has its own characteristics. The first word is "dreaming", and the day of dreaming is clearly written. But although it is "Remembering Dreams", in fact, only the following five sentences are about remembering dreams, and the rest are all about expressing their feelings and telling their sadness. The writing is sincere and simple, painful and touching.
When Su Dongpo was nineteen, he married Wang Fu, who was sixteen. Wang Fu is young, beautiful and very filial. They love each other deeply. Unfortunately, Wang Fu died at the age of 27. This is a great blow to Dongpo, and his inner and spiritual pain is self-evident. Su Shi said in the epitaph of his late wife Wang: "Ding Hai, the wife of Su Shi in Zhao County, died in the capital in May of the second year of Zhiping (1065). In Wu Jia in June, the funeral was held in Jingxi. At noon next June, he will be buried in the tomb of the first gentleman and first lady of Li Kelong, Anzhen Township, pengshan county, northeast of Yumei, eight steps northwest. " In a calm tone, it is extremely painful. In the eighth year of Xining (1075), Dongpo came to Mizhou. On the 20th day of the first month of this year, he dreamed of his beloved wife, Wang, and wrote this eulogy, which will be read through the ages.
The first three sentences are empty, frank and touching. Lovers give up forever, time suddenly, and ten years pass by quickly. Although people are dead, the beautiful scenes of the past are unforgettable! Now that I think about it, I feel that people are separated forever, and I feel painful. In the ten years after Wang Fu's death, Dongpo was politically suppressed because he opposed Wang Anshi's new law, and his mood was sad and angry. When I arrived in Michigan, I was busy dealing with government affairs in bad years, and my life was extremely difficult. It coincides with the tenth anniversary of his wife's death, which is a touching day. The past suddenly came to my mind, and the undercurrent of emotion that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly surged out uncontrollably like opening the floodgates. So dreams are real and natural. I am deeply moved at the thought of my lover's death. Thousands of miles away, there is no place to be sad. It's extremely painful to say. The author's loneliness, desolation, helplessness and desire to tell people's feelings are particularly touching. Then "even if we meet, we should not know, our faces are dusty and our temples are frosty." He also confused reality with dreams, and put all kinds of personal troubles and resentments after death, including the aging of appearance and the decline of body. At this time, he is less than forty years old and has been "frosted". We have been dead for ten years, but we have to "meet". This is a desperate assumption, deep, sad and helpless, which shows the author's deep nostalgia for his lover and also depicts personal changes, making the meaning of the word more profound.
The next paragraph really enters the "dream". The author returned to his hometown in his dream. There, meet your lover and reunite. Here, the author describes a simple, touching and beautiful scene-Xiao Xuan window, dressing up. The author used such a common and unforgettable scene to express his eternal impression of his lover. However, the wonder of Dongpo's brushwork lies in the following two sentences-no words care for each other, only a thousand lines of tears! It's amazing through the ages Silence is painful. Silence is worth a thousand words. It is silence that makes this dream feel infinitely desolate. "There are more silent complaints than talking". This is the victory of silence.
The last three sentences fell from dreams to reality. Imagine the pain of the dead to express condolences. Especially "Moonlit Short Matsuoka", two sentences, sad and lonely, sad and lost. The so-called "everlasting, everlasting; One day both will end, and this endless sorrow will last forever "(Bai Juyi). The last three sentences of Dongpo's ci are profound, painful and lingering, which makes people memorable.
