Narcissus in memory

A New State of Farewell —— Li Shangyin's Banqiao Farewell

Farewell to Banqiao is a poem by Li Shangyin, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty.

Looking back at the high city falling into the river, the window of the pavilion presses the microwave.

Narcissus wanted to go to carp, and Furong cried all night.

The phrase "narcissus" implicitly uses the word "Qin Gao".

The Legend of Immortals said that Qin Gao was a native of Zhao in the Warring States Period and believed in immortal Taoism.

I once came by red carp and stayed in the water for the next month.

Here, the monkey black is compared to a daffodil passing through the carp ridge wave.

"Red Tears" implicitly uses "Xue Lingyun".

"Gleaning Notes" tells that Xue Lingyun, a beautiful woman from Wei Wendi, left her parents and got on the bus. She held back her tears with a jade spittoon and the pot became red.

When I was a teacher, tears in the pot condensed like blood.

Here, farewell is compared to a hibiscus in the water to show her beauty; From the red hibiscus flower, further imagine that its tears should be "red tears".

This poem by Li Shangyin, with its unique fantastic and gorgeous color, has opened up a new realm of farewell.

It is rare to write an ordinary parting with legendary brushwork, blending reality and fantasy, and creating a colorful fairy tale dreamland in farewell poems.

Later, Hu Lancheng revised the last two sentences to read: Narcissus has gone by carp, and she cried all night.

Zhang Yueran's novel Narcissus has been carried away by carp.

Zhang Yueran-a leading figure in China's new generation literary creation.

A famous painting related to the myth of narcissus: Dali's The Change of Narcissus

This outstanding work, called surrealism, is collected in the Ted Art Museum in London.

It is an excellent example to understand Dali's "paranoid criticism method" and "concrete irrational pathological image"

The theme of this painting is based on the story of Narcissus, a Greek mythical figure, in The Story of Metamorphosis by the Roman poet Ortiz.

Young and beautiful Narcissus fell in love with his reflection in the water, languished for this fruitless love and turned into a flower.

This flower was later named after Narcissus (Narcissus).

Dali, who is good at covering his eyes, created a double image for the picture with his superb skills.

The beautiful boy in the foreground is staring at his image in the water. Next to him is a big hand made of plaster, holding an egg-shaped object, and a narcissus is sprouting from the egg.

Dali once published a poem about this image, which provided some suggestions for appreciating this painting.

The viewer should stare at the young man on the background pedestal until he disappears from the subconscious, and then "similar mythical changes will happen."
