Original text:
Thousands of trees are blooming and stars are everywhere in the east night. BMW carved cars are full of incense. Phoenix flute moves, jade pot turns, fish dragon dances all night.
Moths, snow, willows, gold thread, laughter and incense are all gone. Looking for him in the crowd, suddenly looking back, the man was there, dimly lit.
Translation:
At night, the east wind blows the Lantern Festival lanterns like thousands of trees, making the fireworks look like falling meteors. Gorgeous carriage fragrance permeates the road. The music played by the phoenix flute fluttered in the crowd, interwoven with the flowing moonlight. All night, fish dragons and lanterns flew one after another.
The beautiful women wore bright ornaments and colorful clothes on their heads and swayed in the crowd. They smiled and walked by with a faint fragrance. I looked for her a thousand times, but I couldn't find her. Turning around, I saw her standing in the scattered light.
Yuan Xi Jade Case is the work of Xin Qiji, a poet in Song Dynasty. The word begins with the colorful and lively scene of the Lantern Festival, which embodies an aloof and indifferent female image different from the golden powder.
It entrusted the lonely and noble character of the author who was unwilling to go along with the secular after political frustration. The whole poem adopts the method of contrast. The first one is about the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival, full of dazzling lanterns and loud music. The next part deliberately describes the hero looking for a lonely and tall woman standing in the scattered light among the good women. Delicate conception, delicate language, implicit euphemism and endless aftertaste.
Extended data:
On the night of the 15th day of the first month written in the first half of Yuan Yu Case, the whole city was full of lights and revelry.
"Thousands of trees bloom in the oriental night, and the stars are like rain": clusters of fireworks fly into the sky, and then disperse like star rain. From the very beginning, people were brought into the festival carnival of "Fire Tree and Silver Flower". Dongfeng Night is like a strong wind in spring, which blows at night and blows open the petals of ten thousand pear trees in Cen Can.
"BMW is full of incense": dignitaries also take their families out to see the lights. The "fish dragon dance" in the following sentence constitutes a scene of universal celebration.
"Feng Xiao moves, the jade pot lights, and the fish dances all night": "Feng Xiao" is a musical instrument, which refers to music in general; "Jade pot" indicates the month; "ichthyosaur" is in the shape of a lantern. Under the moonlight, people immersed in the festival sang and danced all night.
Xia Kun is still writing about the happiness of "Yuanxiao". A pair of lovers meet in the street. Only the first part is about the whole scene, and the second part is about a specific person. Through his ups and downs, his personal joy naturally blended into the joy of the festival.
"Moths, children, snow, willows, golden wisps, laughter and delicate fragrance go far away": this sentence is about the woman who looks at the lights during the Lantern Festival. They are wearing beautiful clothes and ornaments, and they are running forward happily. Wherever they go, the faint fragrance wafts with the wind. "Snow Willow" is a kind of headdress similar to Hosta.
"Looking for him in the crowd": (this person) pointed out to many passing women one by one (but none of them were the right person he was waiting for).
"Suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light": I looked back and found my sweetheart standing in the dark.
"The lights are dim" should not be interpreted as "the beautiful night will eventually pass away". Although "the lights are dim" means that the fireworks falling from the sky have been extinguished when they are close to the ground, even if there is brilliance on their heads, the place where they stand is dark.
At the same time, there is a saying that people standing in dim light are their own portrayal. From the historical background, he was not valued at that time, and Wen Tao's military talents could not be put to good use. He has a very melancholy feeling in his heart and can only admire himself from the side.
Just like people standing outside the lively atmosphere, it gives people a feeling of being lofty and unconventional, which embodies the wind of aristocratic scholars who refuse to go with the flow after being left out in the cold.
