Introduction to the work:
Like a dream, the rain suddenly dispersed last night is an early work of Li Qingzhao, a poetess in the Song Dynasty. This is an endless poem, which describes the author's concern and pity for spring flowers. Although the whole word is extremely short, with only 33 words, it is all about plots and dialogues, and it can also show the personalities of different characters. Its concise language and high artistic expression are amazing.
works appreciation
Li Qingzhao's ci, characters, scenes and dialogues fully show the language expressive force of Song ci and the poet's talent. The description of waking flowers after a night in a small word expresses the poet's feelings of loving flowers and hurting spring. The language is fresh and meaningful.
The first two sentences, "It rained suddenly last night, and I slept soundly without consuming wine", outline the time and environment for writing words. Last night, the poet couldn't bear to see the flowering of Haitang in the Ming Dynasty, drank wine to relieve his worries, and slept all night the next morning. "Rain and wind suddenly dispersed" is a very accurate description of the late spring season. The wind is rustling, but the rain is sparse, rendering the poet's feeling of being drunk under the flowers. Even if a deep sleep after drinking is sweet, it is still difficult to "eliminate the residual wine" and write a poet who is lazy and sleepy at the moment.
In three or four sentences, the poet called the servant girl "ask the shutter man" with a clever and precise turn, which was smart and natural. The word "try" describes the poet's ambivalence that he can't see the fallen flowers with his own eyes but wants to know what is going on, which is appropriate and true. Unexpectedly, the word "Quedao Haitang remains the same", and the maid's answer made the poet surprised, happy and helpless. The word "que" reveals the poet's incomprehension and unexpected joy, and the poet's delicate euphemism contrasts with the maid's carelessness. Originally, I thought that after a night of wind and rain, the begonia flower must have withered and deformed, but the maid rolled up the curtain and looked out, but casually replied: the begonia flower is still the same.
The last two sentences, "You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? It should be green, fat and thin. " This is not only a rebuttal to the maid, but also a soliloquy: this careless girl, do you know that the begonia in the garden should be lush green leaves and few red flowers? This dialogue is beyond the reach of poetry and painting, and it writes the complex expressions of the ladies who hurt Yi Chun in spring, which can be described as a "vivid pen". Although Haitang is heartless, it can't bloom forever. In short, there is endless helpless love for flowers, but the predicate is shallow and profound. And this layer's affection for flowers is naturally invisible to the "roller blinds" and does not need more attention. After all, she can't be as delicate as the hostess and have a deeper understanding of nature and life.
This word's description of flowers after waking up after staying up late euphemistically expresses the author's pity for flowers, fully embodies the author's love for nature and spring, and also reveals his inner anguish. Although the whole poem is short in length, it is implicit and meaningful, with the scenery as the background, exquisite and delicate, light and agile, vividly depicting the psychological feelings of the characters, promoting the development of poetry through dialogue, ups and downs, and showing the author's profound artistic foundation.
