Endless acacia tears cast red beans, endless spring flowers bloom all over the building. I can't sleep well. After the storm and dusk, I can't forget the new worries and old grievances. Jade grain can't swallow, and it's all in my throat. I can't see the man in the mirror. A frown that can't be opened is even more leaking when it is unknown. Like a castle peak that can't be covered, the flowing green water is long.
From the 28th story of A Dream of Red Mansions by Cao Xueqin, a writer in Qing Dynasty: When giving gifts and giving money, Xue Baochai smeared shame on the red musk string.
This is the lyrics of the song Red Bean sung by Jia Baoyu.
Translation:
There are endless drops of blood and tears throwing red beans and acacia, and there are spring willow flowers all over the building, which can't be finished. After dusk in the storm, I can't sleep well in the screen window, because I can't forget the old worries and the new ones.
I can't eat delicious rice and vegetables, and I can't see the inside of the diamond mirror. I can't stretch my brow, but I can't wait for the morning in the leaking sound. Just like the faint green hills that can't be covered in the distance, the long green water keeps flowing.

This is a love carol, and the whole song reflects sad feelings, mixed with helplessness and sadness.
In the evening after the rain, under the screen window hit by sudden rain, I have no mood to sleep, and new worries and old troubles are like relentless attacks of wind and rain. It tells the story of sentimental children who are lovesick. They don't think about tea and rice, and they don't think about grooming. They are getting thinner and haggard every day.
"Red beans" are acacia beans. Among the red beans written by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty, "Take a hug home, for my sake, as a symbol of our love" (meaning that there are many people who want to miss, and small red beans attract acacia. ), often used in poetry to refer to acacia, here refers to blood and tears.
The first sentence, "I can't stop loving tears and throwing red beans", points out the love theme of the whole song. Let's use a series of parallelism sentences to show the young people in love who are distressed by love.
The sentences of "endless opening" and "restless sleep" are written with the sense of substitution of spring and autumn scenery into years of pain; Five sentences, such as "I can't forget", describe in detail that love has caused new hatred and old hatred. I can't eat any more, and my mirror looks very thin. The conclusion also uses faint green hills and long green waters to describe the inseparable love.
What is said and complained in "Red Bean Ci" is by no means poetic, but contains the pain and sadness. Therefore, the performance of singing must be clear about the author, and then the idea can be understood, and then its artistic conception can be expressed.
