Impression: This article describes ordinary farewell feelings in autumn. It was written by the author in memory of her husband Zhao Mingcheng. Shangqi wrote from the time of a boat trip alone in autumn to the bright moon shining in the boudoir, whether it is daytime or In the evening, when I go out or come home, I am thinking about my loved one all the time, hoping that he will send a "jinshu" from afar.
Meaning: Falling flowers and flowing water are used to compare the feeling of loneliness after her husband leaves her, which shows that the couple has a deep love for each other and the longing for the two places is difficult to eliminate. We can see that Liu Mei has just stretched, and her heart is churning again. The words are shallow and close, and the emotions are deep, which reflects the artistic style of Shu Yu's Ci.
From "A Cut of Plum Blossoms·Red Lotus Root Fragrance Remains in Jade Mat Autumn" Author: Li Qingzhao Han Dynasty
Red Lotus Root Fragrance Remains Jade Mat Autumn. He undressed Luo Shang lightly and boarded the orchid boat alone. Who in the clouds sent a brocade book? When the wild goose returned, the moon was full on the west tower.
The flowers float and the water flows. One kind of lovesickness, two places of idle sorrow. There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I just frown, but it is in my heart.
Vernacular explanation: In an autumn when the lotus flowers are withered and the bamboo mats are too cold. "Red lotus root" means red lotus. "Jade mat" is an exquisite bamboo mat. This sentence is extremely rich in meaning. It not only points out the season, but also points out that it is such a desolate and autumn mood that caused the author's mood of separation, showing the tendency of the whole word. It also exaggerates the atmosphere of the environment and plays a foil role in the author's loneliness and worries.
Extended information:
The poem opens: "The fragrance of red lotus roots remains in the jade mat in autumn." The lotus has withered, and it is a cold autumn season. This word "autumn" is exactly what it means. It is the node that triggers the author's feelings, the basis for the emotions caused by the situation, and the basis of the emotion of the article. The author expresses the abstract seasonal concept of "autumn" with the perceptual color and concrete characteristics of "red lotus root and fragrant residue".
The author uses a light brush to outline the characteristics of the season, and then gently introduces the image of the lyrical subject. The two sentences "lightly undressing Luo Shang and boarding the orchid boat alone" are enough to be interesting. "Light" means that it is quiet; "alone" means that it is only one body. Why? It can be said that there is not a single word in the poem, but its meaning is hidden in it. It is not until "someone in the clouds sends a brocade book" that the hidden meaning is revealed, and finally its surface image is revealed.
