Guiqing of Huanxisha
Song Dynasty: Li Qingzhao
Embroidered hibiscus smiles. Duck wrapped in crab roe with fragrant cheeks. Oh, I don't know
On the one hand, it is charming, on the other hand, it is charming and hateful to send you. The moon moves and the shadow comes back.
Distinguish and appreciate
This word should be regarded as Yi An's early works. Write a charming woman tryst with her sweetheart, and write a letter to say goodbye to her. Portrait description adopts contrast, contrast and profile description. The language is lively and natural, the style is cheerful and handsome.
Li Qingzhao's ci can be roughly divided into two periods-the early period and the late period, that is, the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty. The former mainly talks about in my heart forever's lovesickness, while the latter shows more negative and desperate emotions. However, this poem is obviously different from these two styles and should belong to the first batch of words describing pure feelings. At that time, the poet was still in his youth, full of yearning for beautiful love, and when he put pen to paper, he also richly reflected the delicate mind of women.
When I started writing, I showed the unusual beauty of women. "Embroidered hibiscus" and the following "Xie Feibao Duck" should also refer to decorations. At that time, women had the habit of sticking embroidered pictures on their faces, mostly flowers and birds, which meant painting hibiscus on their faces. Lotus smiled, turning from static to static, seemingly unreasonable, but actually more affectionate. Originally, the hibiscus flowers were still there, but because of the girl's smile, the beauty fainted and fell into people's eyes as if even hibiscus flowers were blooming in the wind, adding spirit. This method of breaking the causal boundary and deliberately illogical is best reflected in Wang Wei's poems, such as Sitting and Watching the Moss, Wanting to Get Dressed (Story) and No Rain on the Mountain Road, The Air is Wet (In the Mountain). When it develops into the hands of Li Qingzhao, adding a layer of feminine beauty will add a wonderful artistic conception that seems real and unreal. Moreover, "appearance", "lotus", "smile" and "opening" are relative, which implies metaphor. The opening of lotus strongly sets off the girl's smile. In addition, the word "Kai" refers not only to the girl in full bloom with hibiscus, but also to the seed girl of love, who is the commander-in-chief of the whole word.
"flying duck's fragrant cheeks", continue to write the beauty of girls. She is a first love girl dressed up with flowers and ducks. "O, just moving and being guessed." The girl smiled and looked forward to it. What are you thinking about? Obviously a sweetheart. She fell in love with someone secretly. She may think sometimes, and the more she thinks, the happier she is. Her expression was wrong and she was noticed. So she drummed in her heart: "It won't be discovered by others, will it?" What would he think? God, what a pity! "This technique is also available in the Tang Dynasty. Huang Fusong's Lotus Picking Story has the saying that' it takes a long time to know its humiliation'. In fact, others may not notice her abnormality, let alone know what she is thinking. However, in her opinion, it is very likely that it is particularly embarrassing. This suspicion adds a bit of innocence and shyness to the girl, and it is also more vivid.
"On the one hand, it is deeply charming, on the other hand, it is charming and hateful to send you deep affection", which shows the causal connection between Shangxiaque and the girl's psychology at this time. The first half of the sentence is naturally a continuation of the above, in which the word "one side" is used as an attribute, but it still retains the meaning of the related word, giving people a kind of "although one side ... but half a note ...", which has to be said to be a clever thinking of women. What does the second half of the sentence mean? The note is a letter. Obviously, it's been a long time, so I use letters to convey my love. I hate nature, it's just a little feeling and complaint of young girls (as everyone knows …). It means that although I like you very much, you never come to see me, so I want to give you a book. What was written in the letter? "The moon moves and the shadow comes back." The moon rises and the shadows shake. Then let's meet! A few months ago, bloom was a place where boys and girls met. The heroine's words show her expectation for the future.
On the whole, the poet gave full play to the advantages of women's thinking and showed outstanding artistic talent in atmosphere, contrast, picture and detail capture. The heroine in the poem, because she is in love with her youth, inevitably has ups and downs in mood and quite changeable personality. She smiled, beautiful and lively; O eye circulation, delicate and shy; Staring at the flowers and the moon, thinking hard about love; Write it out to express your feelings and pursue it boldly. These seemingly contradictory words actually reflect the complex psychology of young girls when they are moving. Under the background of feudal patriarchal marriage, the heroine's pursuit is bold and beautiful. This reflects the poet's yearning and pursuit of beautiful love.
