Notes on the Ci of Mei (1) Bai Mei's lazy fu: that is, "lazy fu Bai Mei". (2) The sentence of "Yan": It means that before the arrival of spring, the red berries are gorgeous, and they are first drunk. (3) Frozen face: Because bloom is in the snow and its color is red, it is like this. To borrow a sentence from Su Shi's "Singing Red Plums Against the Wind": "Self-pity on the ice is not appropriate." Mark, tears. Blood and tears say red. (4) Sour heart: Plum stamens breed plums, so it is called "sour heart". After the season, although there is no resentment, flowers will go up in smoke, so it is said to be "ashes." To borrow Li Shangyin's untitled poem: "In love, flowers compete for flowers. Even this bright love flame, are there only ashes?" . (5) "Wrong" sentence: It is said that the plum blossom was originally white, but it turned into a red flower because it swallowed the magical Dan medicine by mistake. The pun of "Dan Yao" means red. Fan Chengda's Plum Blossom: "Wu Xia Hongmei has many poems handed down from generation to generation, and Fang Zi wrote a swan song together, saying," Zi Fu and Dan came to exchange bones and blow wine to coagulate fat. " (6) "Stealing" sentence: It is said that the red plum was originally a peach in Yaochi, but it lost its old shape because of stealing the world of mortals and became a plum blossom. Legend has it that the Monkey King stole peaches grown in Yaochi. (7) The meaning of this sentence "Jiangbei" means please tell bees and butterflies not to mistake red plums for peaches and apricots, but to doubt whether this is the season of bright spring. Spring is brilliant, because red berries are like spring flowers. It is still snowing. Bees and butterflies are metaphors for frivolous men. Dude, don't.
Appreciation of the word "Mei" in singing red plums With the decline of feudal system, the rich and powerful people at that time, especially the nobles, became increasingly empty, and poetry became entertainment to kill time and energy. Because they have nothing to write except "love affairs", they have to fight with each other and show their talents in writing skills such as limiting topics and rhyming. There have been several changes in the novel, and everyone gets a certain word as rhyme, which is also a long-standing singing method. Describing this poetic style objectively reflects the boring mental state of this kind of people at that time.
In terms of characterization, Xing Xiuyan, Wen Li and Xue Baoqin are all first-time roles, which should be exaggerated. However, they have just arrived in Jiafu, and the poems written by other sisters should not pretend to be masters. Therefore, in addition to what he has done, Lu's couplets still only highlight Shi Xiangyun. Everyone then asked them to add red plum poems, which are the author's supplementary pens, to take this opportunity to give some hints on their identity characteristics, and they got hints from poems. Sister Wen Li is the daughter of Li Wan's widowed aunt. Judging from the words in the poem, tears are all blood, and her heart turns to ashes. She may also have unfortunate experiences or express the pain of losing her father. Don't be frivolous. It can be seen that the "Humpty Dumpty" is self-reliant and moral, and its personality is quite similar to that of Li Wan, which is probably caused by the same environmental upbringing as that of Li Shouzhong who pays attention to Confucian moral education.
