① heartbroken day: a fascinating appreciation of spring
Contrast technique 1. Poetry is about willow in autumn, but the poet doesn't write it from before, but remembers it in spring first, and then comes back to willow in front of him. You see, in the women's amusement park like a cloud, in the bustling spring day, the graceful spring willow and the dancing * * * are combined at the lively dance feast, and you can't tell who is * * *, what is willow branch and how beautiful the artistic conception is! The autumn willow in front of me is a completely opposite scene. "Clear autumn", "setting sun" and "Qiu Chan" touch the desolation of the environment, and the prosperity of willow in spring reflects the withering of willow in autumn. The more prosperous and proud spring is, the more haggard autumn willows are. It is through this strong contrast that the poet expressed his lament over the sparse decline of autumn willow. The whole poem is about willow, but there is not a word "willow". Every sentence writes scenery, and every sentence is lyrical. When the poet was young, he was full of fantasy and confidence, and he had great ambitions, just like a spring willow full of vitality. However, due to partisan strife, the poet has been living a sinking life, and the autumn willow in the poem, which experienced the disparity between prosperity and poverty, is a true portrayal of the poet's self-injury and self-sighing life experience. 2. Take the spring willow as a comparison to write the declining willow in autumn, and the prosperity of the willow in spring is a contrast to the withering willow in autumn; The more prosperous and proud spring is, the more haggard autumn willows are. Li Shangyin was a scholar when he was young, and he had the great ambition of "going back to heaven and earth and going into a boat". However, due to the feud between the parties, he has been sinking into the next position for a long time. At this time, he mourned his dead wife and lamented the road ahead. His mood can be imagined. Isn't the autumn willow in the poem a vivid portrayal of the poet's self-injury and self-sighing?
"Zhui" has the meaning of following, using anthropomorphic techniques. Originally, the east wind blew the willow branches, and the word "one by one" was used to say that the willow branches followed the east wind, turning passive into active, and the image was more vivid and lovely, showing the vitality and cuteness of the willow branches.
In spring, willows are long and swaying in the wind, but the poet didn't directly describe them, but endowed them with the word "Zhu" to personify them. This is the wind blowing willows, but it is determined to be written as willows chasing the wind. Coupled with the word "dancing feast", it is more likely to remind people that the wicker moving in the wind is a beautiful woman dancing on the wine feast, with green sleeves and a green skirt, which is beautiful. It can be said that the anthropomorphic technique is applied in depth and without trace.
In the fourth sentence, the two words "belt" are also clearly people who write willow. When the two sentences are read together, we can explain it this way: How can you be willing to take the dim setting sun and the mournful chilling on a clear autumn day? The poet said that the setting sun shines on the willows, and Qiu Chan sings the willows, but this contradiction highlights the image of the willows.
Giving Willow is actually chanting willow. Yong and give it, so the title is "gift". The predecessors thought this poem was capable, and Feng Hao thought it was written by Liu Zhi, a geisha in Luoyang. Because of the age, there is no circumstantial evidence, and the real situation is hard to know.
Li Shangyin has great affection for Liu. In his poetry collection, there are as many as a dozen poems titled by Vitamin. This poem is different from his other poems about willow, and its background is not one place, but a very broad area. "Zhangtai is hidden from the shadows, and the roads are even more uneven." The first couplet is from Chang 'an, the capital city, to Jiangling, the bank of the great river. The willow is everywhere from north to south, "hidden" and "uneven", with a beautiful color of thousands of miles.
"Shaded" and "uneven" are the lush scenes of willow color, bright or dark, and soft strips hanging down. It is pointed out that the time is in spring. The change from "obedient" to "more" makes the vitality of willow more intense. The second couplet "romantic" and "graceful" is to write about the lightness of the willow. The soft and long willow branches are inextricably linked, and the spring breeze blows, just like a young girl, dancing, and the posture is very moving. "Seeing and saying" is to hear others say, including the appreciation of Liu by people of ancient and modern times. The sentence "Lai Dang" means that when I saw the willow in front of me, I showed the poet's joy when it was graceful. The above four sentences, from a broad background, gave a vivid and concrete description of Chunliu, and wrote her charming and lovely charm.
the following is the continuous willow color. In spring, the willow cages along the roadside embankment are covered with fog and green, which is fascinating. The poet's eyes were drawn by this charming willow color, and he moved forward until he reached the bridge, but when he crossed the bridge, he bent to the side and extended along the long beach. Finally, although he could not see the willow color in his eyes, his heart seemed to still see the green willow color stretching far away. "Travel" is interpreted as "whereabouts" and "traces". "Accompanying with one's heart" means that the spring willows go with the long embankment, and that the poet's heart is tied to the willows, and he follows them closely until the brothel is full of wine flags and willow flowers are like snow. "Brothel" and "wine flag" are prosperous places in the world; Flying flowers like snow is the time when spring willows are in full bloom. "forbearance" means having the heart, and the word reveals the poet's regret. Flowers fly like snow, although the beauty is extremely prosperous, but the prosperity is extremely high, which means that it is not far from fading. Two sentences write the prosperity of spring willow to the extreme, and also write the love of people to the extreme. Ji Yun commented on this poem: "Five or six sentences spread in the air, which is extremely pithy. The knot is also emotional. " ("A Collection of Li Yishan's Poems") These four sentences have a beautiful artistic conception, and the implication is endless, which is very intriguing. Creation background: Liu written by Li Shangyin was roughly in the fifth year of middle school (851). The poet used the willow to hurt himself and pour out his worries. The autumn willow in the poem, which has experienced the disparity between the past and the present, is a vivid portrayal of its own life experience. Li Shangyin, named Yishan, was born in Yuxi (Xi) and Fan Nansheng, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. His ancestral home was in Qinyang, Hanoi (now Jiaozuo City, Henan Province) and he was born in Xingyang, Zhengzhou. He is good at poetry writing, and his parallel prose is also of high literary value. He is one of the most outstanding poets in the late Tang Dynasty. Together with Du Mu, he is called "Little Li Du", and together with Wen Tingyun, he is called "Wen Li". Because his poems and essays are similar to those of Duan Chengshi and Wen Tingyun in the same period, and all three of them rank sixteenth in the family, they are also called "Thirty-six Style". His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems are touching, beautiful and moving, and are widely read. However, some poems are too obscure and confusing to be solved, and there is even a saying that "poets always love Xikun and hate no one to write Zheng Jian". Being in the middle of the struggle between Niu and Li, I was frustrated all my life. After his death, he was buried in his hometown Qinyang (now the junction of Qinyang and Boai County in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province). His works are included in Li Yishan's Poems.
Li shangyin, I awake light-hearted this morning of spring, everywhere round me the singing of birds. There is no trace of spring. Unless you ask an oriole. The colorful and colorful spring flowers will gradually charm people's eyes, the shallow spring grass can barely cover the horseshoe. The forest flowers are wet with rain and rouge, and the water is long with the wind and the green belt. Red crisp hands, yellow wine, and spring willows in the city. The wicker is long, the spring rain is fine, and the flowers are leaking. Spring clouds cover the walls of the garden on the city, and the pavilion is quiet and fragrant in the evening. Flowers fade, red apricots are small. When swallows fly, green water people go around. However, the guests are hard to stay, only the bright moon to follow him, my miss is like the Huai river, the spring tide rolling and can not calm. Love trees and wet flowers can't afford to fly, so I'm extremely worried, and spring pays off to the east. I know that people have all the flowers, and there are many butterflies in the vegetable beds today. Light wax invaded the year this spring. Ice and snow break through Chun Yan. I love the spring in the mountains, and the birds sing on the cliff. When the east wind enters the courtyard, thousands of willows go west. Rain hits pear blossoms and closes the door, forgetting youth and missing youth.
