As soon as I opened this book, I fell in love with the words and sentences. I read the first page at ten o'clock at night. I couldn't take my eyes away from the delicate and graceful text and the lingering emotions. The ugly time will pass, and then we will reluctantly close it. Continue reading the next day and finish reading at dusk. Later, due to an agitated mood, when I was washing the tea cup, I shook my head and broke it. It can be seen that it is so soul-stirring.
He Mei Liang said: "You will probably like this book." Many books may not explain the truth perfectly, and there is no great pattern. But the strange thing is that every word is captivating. Mr. Xin Zhai said: "There are some that are lovable despite being unclear, and there are those that are fluent but extremely disgusting. This is not easy to be compared to the shallow humanity." This book is very lucid in its writing and is also very cute. For example, the words and sentences in "Peanuts" cannot be understood by those who are not deeply in love.
The entire book describes the whole process of Izumi Shikibu’s acquaintance with Prince Atsumichi from mid-April to the following spring. The poems that come and go, the gentle emotions, excitement, loss, longing, resentment, and worry are all eloquently told. When reading, you will feel happy and sad along with Izumi Shikibu. Until I finished reading, I suddenly looked up and saw heavy snow falling one after another.

Look at this man, he is not holding back at all, he just said blankly, "I'm so sorry that this deep feeling is so irresistible." He stood without holding his hands, glanced secretly, and recited something like "people are like dew on the grass." He didn't feel anxious or anxious, but he still smiled and said politely, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
He will only tell you "My heart is so excited that it's incredible." This time, it's so cute. Prince Atsumichi also wrote in a Japanese poem: "Love is hard to distinguish between love and affection. It cannot be said that there is ordinary joy in the world, but my heart is so tender now."
Izumi Shikibu is also a person who understands the meaning of love deeply. Immediately, he responded with a song: "How can the world be so happy? My heart is so sincere and exciting now, but I know that my thoughts are always crazy." As they come and go, they fall in love with each other. If a woman cannot be a good friend of a man, is not intelligent, and is not sincere, she will rarely be respected and admired by the other man. Just like a puddle of water, it hangs on a rock to form a waterfall, and flows into a canal to form a stream. You have to be a rock, this is very important.

After that meeting, there was no news from Prince Atsushi for three or four days. The Izumi-type ministry was really resentful and thought: Such a long period of no news must be very harmful to me. The affection is not very deep.
So much so that when Prince Tundo came to visit a few days later, she deliberately ignored him on the pretext of practicing Buddhist rituals. In this way, there is the sour Japanese song of Prince Atsumo. It's so strange, so weird, I don't know how to feel like this. Do you know that I stayed up all night for you? An extremely, extremely aggrieved tone.
But she said, since meeting you, isn’t it normal to have sleepless nights? Is there anything strange and regretful about it?
My favorite words in this paragraph are: "When I think of how wronged and regretful he is, I can't help but feel unbearable." He was obviously angry, and "Pfft" A laugh broke out. It really makes people smile, and a trace of sadness passes by.

It was not appropriate, because Prince Tundao already had a wife, and his feelings gradually became distant. He is also a son of a nobleman and attracts more attention than ordinary people, so hesitance is inevitable. But what to do? He said, "This deep feeling is so irresistible," and she said, "It's truly outstanding and incomparable."
There is a passage from Izumi Shikibu that expresses the same sentiment. He wrote: "He was wearing a straight coat, and he was lined with haori. I can't help but wonder, is it because my eyes have become so sharp because of eroticism?" After reading, he wrote crazily: It's not just you, girl.
That thing is beautiful in nature, and it is even more fortunate to be worn on your body and held by you, so it is just right and unparalleled. Even more fortunately, I can see your beauty and smell your fragrance. What a truly beautiful thing, the scattered water with stars and moon is held by ancient and clean porcelain.
Just like one day when I was wearing a slanted cotton-padded coat with pink and white flowers, everyone felt old-fashioned and old-fashioned. The person caressed the texture without knowing it, her eyes were like water, and she said slowly and solemnly: "It's so beautiful, how can it be so beautiful?" When she said these words, she was as beautiful as dawn.
Why is it so difficult to be in love?

At that time, even though he had a wife, it was tacitly accepted in society that men had side wives. Izumi Shikibu was famous for his talent and many men yearned for him, so he often sent him songs. Because of this, her gossip became more natural. Although Prince Tundo loved him deeply, he also had doubts. The love between the two always fluctuates, becoming deeper or shallower.
In the end, Prince Tun Dao invited her to live in the palace. She thought that even though her actions were troublesome, she could let him know that her temperament was not as unbearable as popular rumors said. Naturally, he was hesitant. It was difficult to deal with him, his wife, and everyone else.
But this man is indeed affectionate and gentle. When I was watching the water, I wrote a poem: "The water is so high that it reaches no end of the country. It's so full that it seems hard to compare. My love is so deep that it's even better." When it was dawn, I also wrote a poem: "The autumn moon is fading, and I feel confused. I will stand in front of you all night, and there is no other way to return melancholy." With such a graceful, regretful and cute look, it is no wonder that she waved her sleeves and said: "I have so many worries in this life, so just let it go."
After saying these words, Izumi Shikibu made a decision.

During that period, Prince Tun Dao was practicing Buddhism and accidentally said such words. It's really annoying to say such things for no reason. Anyone who heard this would cry, but he didn't know it. He pretended to be innocent afterwards and laughed and said she was sentimental.
She wrote a few strokes of love: "At this time, the sky was falling leisurely outside." It was sad, just like her state of mind. Just like him, he was at a loss. After reading it, my heart felt cold and calm. No matter how letters are exchanged, it is still the case that Shanyue does not know what is in her heart, and the water and wind make her eyes dazzle.
In the book, Izumi Shikibu once wrote this: "Such poems and letters are actually false and cannot be relied upon; but life depends on such false things for some comfort. Come to think of it, How sad.”
I was speechless for a moment. She knew that everything was false and that it was just a flower in the mirror, but she still handed over the song in a daze: You are in trouble, so don't leave. I will go to look for you, so sit down and have a banquet. Don't move.
Prince, please wait for me there. Who told her to say from the beginning that she would always be crazy when she first believed in love and thought about Xi?

Izumi Shikibu moved to Prince Atsushi's residence. He calls her his maid and is always by his side. It seems to be a good ending. It can be considered as staying together and rubbing shoulders with each other.
Not after all. His wife angrily questioned him, and the servants in his residence secretly accused him and made trouble all the time. She wrote: "There are some unpalatable words that I wish I could quit outside and not listen to. However, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary rumors, so I have to wait patiently. At this time, I can't help but sigh: I am really troubled!"
Obviously, she is unhappy. It is worth noting that since she moved into Prince Atendo's residence, she has never mentioned a Japanese song, nor written about the interesting love story between the two. Wherever the pen and ink stop, they all talk about the warmth and warmth of human relationships, intricate relationships, and all kinds of trivial matters. The writing style is heavy and sluggish, far less fresh and graceful than the original, and the love is deep and long-lasting.
She said: "What should we do? But there is nothing we can do." The whole book ends with his wife deciding to return home in the spring of the following year. There are no songs of harmony under the snow, moon and flowers, no thoughts about practicing Buddhism, only sighs.
The preface says that Prince Tundo died young. He died after four years of dating, during which time Izumi Shikibu had been working as a maid.

I like the early Izumi Shikibu, who is quick-thinking and elegant. Prince Dundao was passionate, handsome, and talented. Poetry exchanges, conversations under the moonlight, deep affection but not frivolousness, serious matters.
People are destined not to love just one person in their life. We are flowing streams, rushing towards the sea with all our hearts. The person you love most writes this poem: I have been waiting for a long time. I'm here. See me, come close to me, meet me, merge with me. Just like the spring light finds the mountains, like the bright moon detects the pure lake.
This is generally the case when we meet in the world. Love in the world is mostly like this.
Do you still remember the chant with Prince Dundo? He said: "The leaves are gradually staining this tree." She smiled sweetly and said like a orchid: "It is slightly stained with white dew, but I can already see the strong autumn mood." Why does it need to be old? The love was strong in an instant.
To fall in love, there is no need to touch human affairs. Be kind and do not cause harm to others. I understand Izumi Shikibu's thoughts, I understand, I understand, but it cannot be said to be a good deed. There are so many worries in this life, so you might as well live in love. Then it should be done, how to love without falling, sincerity is practice.
What I like is their initial watery love. Waves, tranquility, but a clear background. Standing in the wind and dew at midnight, he walked past her door. She didn't see his appearance or hear his voice, but she knew that he had been there.
My favorite person, smile and continue to finish the rest of the poem: I hope that in the past, this life, and the next life, we have given each other gifts and fulfilled each other, and this will become a smile that recognizes each other and will not change. Original intention. May we be cool and at ease, with a source that never dries up and a light that never goes out.
