Looking back at the past life, we are connected in this life, and in the world of mortals, who can we rely on! The so-called beauty is on the side of the water, and the beautiful woman is hard to rely on, and tears flow down her face! Leaning alone by the window, with the moon shining on my face, looking forward to myself, Sadness alone! Love is hard to cut, lovesickness is hard to break, I think about it day by day, and look forward to it every night! The magpie comes to the branch, adding to the desolation, with no hope in my heart, and tears dripping down my skirt! Time flies, how can it be wasted? Beauty is easy to grow old, how can it be shed? ?If we depend on each other, don’t separate!
Now I bring you Xu Zaisi’s Yuan Dynasty song "The Order of Guigui? Spring Love", I hope you like it!

Appreciation
The title is "Spring Love", which is obviously about the admiration between men and women, and the whole song describes the lovesickness of a young woman, which makes it sad and moving to read. ?I will never miss lovesickness in my life? These three sentences show that this girl is still in love for the first time. Only when love is first awakened can one understand lovesickness, which is exactly in line with the title of "Spring Love". Because this is the first time I have tasted the nectar of love, it seems that once I lose sight of my lover, my lovesickness will be extremely deep and sincere. Some people say that love has a bitter taste, and it only causes lovesickness, and it hurts lovesickness. This is the samadhi of love. These three sentences are focused and clear as words, but the emotional waves in them are clearly visible. So the following three sentences only describe the various expressions and mentality of this lovesick girl. The author uses three metaphors in succession: "Body like floating clouds", depicting her wandering around sitting and lying down; "Heart like flying catkins", describing her distracted and dazed mentality; "Qi like a gossamer" depicting her. Lovesickness makes you sick, your energy is weak and your strength is weak. The girl's infatuation and sincerity of lovesickness are vividly expressed through these three sentences. "A lingering fragrance is here" is a metaphor used by the author to describe the lonely situation of the girl.
The word "empty" expresses her feeling of being alone in an empty room, feeling lonely and desolate; the word "wisp of lingering fragrance" expresses the feeling of being away from home, real and imaginary, which is a metaphor for the girl's erratic and endless emotions. The real reason for her sorrow was revealed by the sentence "What is the purpose of a wanderer looking forward to a rich daughter?" It turned out that her heart and soul were obsessed with a noble man who was traveling abroad. The girl missed and longed for him day and night. This sentence is written as a parallel to the previous sentence. Not only do the words and sentences coincide, but the meanings also correspond. One talks about a girl and the other talks about a wanderer. One is here and the other is there. However, due to the skill of the parallelism and the coherence of meaning, it does not feel artificial at all. The chisel marks are enough to show the author's skill in controlling language. The last four sentences are a question and an answer, which serve as a supplement to the whole article. "Syndrome" is a term used by doctors to refer to symptoms. Because the girl in classical Chinese was suffering from lovesickness, the word "syndrome" in the north refers to her sentimentality and lovesickness. It is also consistent with the words "harm" and "qi like a gossamer" mentioned above. The sentences are combined. The author asks: When is the most painful moment for a girl to miss lovesickness? It is at night when the lights are dim and the moonlight is hazy. This was supposed to be a time when couples were paired up and in love, but for her, who had been alone all her life, sorrow and troubles crept up on her brows. Irresistible lovesickness!
The context of this piece of music is very clear. The whole song is divided into four levels: the first three lines say that the girl has fallen into a lovesickness that she cannot extricate herself from; the second three lines express that the girl is in lovesickness. The last two sentences point out the reasons why the girl is lovesick; the last line of the poem teases out the girl's inner thoughts with both vivid and implicit words. The whole song flows in one breath, it is simple and simple without losing its charm. It is composed naturally and has twists and turns, which is very like the feeling of lovesickness.
One of the linguistic features of this piece is that the first three sentences all have the same word "si", and the last four sentences have the same word "time". Don't be afraid to repeat it, just write it by hand. , but it has a real flavor that comes from the sounds of nature.
This is where music differs from poetry. Music is neither vulgar nor offensive, but the important thing is that it is clear and straightforward, and has a natural taste. This is what composers call "true character"
