Excerpt from the original text: On October 19th, the second year of Dali, Kuifu took Yuan as the housekeeper and saw Linying Li Niangzi dancing the sword, which made it powerful. She asked her teacher, "I am also a disciple of stupid Gong Sundaniang." In the third year of Kaiyuan, when I was a child, I thought of seeing Gongsun's family in Yancheng, and my sword dancing was loose, and my thoughts were frustrated. After winning the championship, he was worshipped by his wife at the second geisha workshop in Yichun Liyuan, Gaotou. Xiao is a dancer. At the beginning of Saint SHEN WOO, Sun was just a person.
The jade looks gorgeous, and I am bald. I am a disciple of this school, and I am not proud. Distinguish its source, you can know the waves and be generous, and you can talk about it as a "sword." Zhang Xu, a former Wu native, is good at cursive writing. He often saw Gong Sundaniang dancing Xihe Sword in Yexian County. From then on, cursive script grew up and was grateful, which was known to Sun.
On October 19th, the second year of Tang Dali, I saw Li Linying Twelve Niangs dancing swords in a private house in Kuifu. I think dancing is very energetic, varied and spectacular, so I asked her who she learned it from. She said, "I am a student in Gong Sundaniang".
Xuanzong for three years, I am still young. I remember seeing Gong Sundaniang dancing sword and mixed tuo in Yancheng. It is smooth and elegant, with clear rhythm and excellent. This is the first time in contemporary times. Gong Sundaniang is the only one who knows this kind of dance, from the disciples in Yichun and Liyuan in the palace to the dancers worshiped outside the palace.
At that time, she was beautifully dressed and beautiful. Now I am a bald old man, and her disciple Li Shiniang is no longer a young woman. Now that we know the origin of her dancing skills, it seems that their dancing skills are in the same strain and full of emotion, so let's write down the poem "Sword and Weapon". ?
According to legend, Zhang Xu, a former Wuzhou native, was good at writing cursive copybook. He often watches Gong Sundaniang's dance drama The Sword of the West River in Yexian County. Since then, cursive calligraphy has made great progress, uninhibited and bohemian. This shows that Gong Sundaniang's dancing skills are superb.
The prologue of the extended materials, such as prose poems, aims to show that I witnessed Li Shierniang's dancing, listened to her former teacher, recalled the past, remembered the scene of watching Gong Sundaniang's sword dance as a child, admired her superb dancing skills, and embellished it with the story of Zhang Xu's great progress in dancing and calligraphy.
This poem not only has the momentum rhythm of clarity and frustration, but also has the moving power of boldness and gratitude. The rendering of vivid entertainment scenes in the first half reflects the sadness in the second half, further increasing the lyrical effect of the poem.
In terms of artistic expression, this poem not only has a clear and frustrating momentum rhythm, but also has a moving force of being bold and grateful. The rendering of the lively scenes in the first half echoes the sadness in the second half, further increasing the lyrical effect of the poem. This poem is indeed a solemn and stirring masterpiece among seven-character poems.
The whole poem is vigorous and powerful, gloomy and tragic. Seeing the "sword" hurts the past and caresses the feelings. The time sequence is different, which makes people feel wasteful. Poetry praises Li, thinking of gongsun; Ode to the Sun and Thinking of the First Emperor have entrusted the author with his obsession with the prosperity of the first emperor and his lament for today's decline.
