Sentiment has hurt parting since ancient times, and it is even more embarrassing to be left out of the Qingqiu Festival!
From "The Ring in the Rain" written by Liu Yong of the Song Dynasty
The chilling cicadas are mournful, facing the pavilion at night, the shower has begun to subside. There is no trace of drinking in the capital tent, and the orchid boat urges you to stay in the place of nostalgia. Holding hands and looking into tearful eyes, they were speechless and choked. The thought goes away, thousands of miles of smoke waves, the dusk is heavy and the sky is vast.
Sentiment has hurt parting since ancient times, and it is even more embarrassing to be left out of the Qingqiu Festival! Where will you wake up tonight? Willow bank, dawn wind and waning moon. After so many years, it should be a good time and good scenery. Even if there are thousands of customs, who can tell them?
Appreciation
This poem is Liu Yong’s masterpiece. This article is about the author saying goodbye to his lover when he left Bianjing and went south. In the poem, various desolate and desolate autumn scenes are used to set off and exaggerate the emotions of separation, and vividly paint a picture of farewell on the Autumn River. The author was frustrated in his official career, had to leave Kyoto for a long journey, and had to break up with his beloved. This double pain was intertwined and made him feel particularly uncomfortable. He truly described the parting scene. The whole word comes from the perspective of farewell. The three sentences highlight the scenery of the time and place, and use the pale dusk and the sad sound of cicadas to highlight the sad mood of separation. The following five lines of "Dumen" not only describe the state of mind of wanting to say goodbye, but also vividly depict the parting love of holding hands and looking at each other speechlessly. The words are simple and affectionate, and extremely touching. The two sentences "Nian Li Qu Qu" are led by the word "Nian", imagining the thousands of miles of mist and long distance passed by after farewell, which makes people feel the infinite sorrow of separation. The next part of the film begins with a heavy focus, summarizing the sadness of separation. The "passionate" sentence describes the desolate and desolate late autumn, but it is also different from the ordinary, pushing the sadness to another level. The two sentences "Tonight" imagine the scene after farewell, which is on the bank of willows with the waning moon hanging high and the morning breeze blowing, outlining a quiet and desolate natural landscape. End with infatuated words to tie the knot, the lover is not here, the beautiful scenery and infinite style are all in vain, the love is so persistent. The whole poem is a blend of scenes, and the structure is as smooth as flowing clouds. The layers of time and emotions overlap step by step, taking readers step by step into the depths of the author's emotional world.
