"Shui Tiao Ge Tou·Tour"
Song Dynasty: Huang Tingjian
The Yao grass is so green that it enters Wuling River in spring. There are countless peach blossoms on the stream, and there are orioles on the branches. I want to find my way through the flowers, and go straight into the depths of the white clouds, displaying my majestic rainbow. I'm afraid that deep inside the flowers, the red dew will wet people's clothes.
Sitting on a jade stone, leaning on a jade pillow, brushing the golden emblem. Where is the banished immortal? There is no one to accompany me to the White Snail Cup. I am Ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass. If I don’t have red lips and red face, what will I do? I dance drunkenly down the mountain, and the bright moon chases everyone back.

I'm afraid that deep in the flowers, dew will wet the clothes.
Sitting on a jade stone, leaning on a jade pillow, holding a gold emblem. Where is the banished immortal? There is no one to accompany me to drink from a snail cup.

" Appreciation/appreciation of "Shui Tiao Ge Tou·Tour"
This poem is a work of spring travel. The poet uses a fantasy lens to describe the scene of traveling to the "Peach Blossom Spring", reflecting the interaction between his birth and entry into the world. The conflicting outlook on life reflects his dissatisfaction with the dirty real society and his unwillingness to seek glory and conform to the world. Based on this, it seems that this word was written around the time when the poet was demoted.
In the first sentence, the poet adopts a metaphorical technique and enthusiastically praises Yaocao (immortal grass) as lovely as jasper, which makes the poem give people a good impression and arouse people's interest from the beginning. , introducing readers into the artistic realm of the work unconsciously. Starting from the second sentence, flashbacks are used to describe the beautiful scenes of the fairy world layer by layer.
"Spring enters Wuling River", which serves as a link between the past and the following.
Here, the poet cleverly uses allusions from Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring". Tao Yuanming's description of this fictitious ideal country shows his dissatisfaction with the real society. Huang Tingjian's use of this allusion is self-evident. The writer of these three sentences came to the "Peach Blossom Spring" in spring, where the streams were flowing, peach blossoms were blooming everywhere, and the orioles on the branches kept singing melodious and sweet songs.
In the three sentences "I want to walk through flowers to find my way", the writer wants to walk through the flowers in the Peach Blossom Spring, all the way to the top of the mountain with floating white clouds, and when he exhales the awe-inspiring spirit in his chest, it turns into a rainbow. Here, the poet further expresses his dissatisfaction with reality in a subtle way, imagining that he can find an ideal world where he can freely display his talents.
However, the two sentences "I'm afraid that the flowers will be deep inside and the red dew will wet people's clothes" twists and turns expresses the contradiction of his being tired of the chaotic world but unwilling to leave. The poet's use of metaphors and symbols is full of endless poetic flavor.
The sentence "Red dew wets people's clothes" is derived from Wang Wei's poem "There is no rain on the mountain road, and the empty green wets people's clothes" ("In the Mountain"). Huang Tingjian replaced "empty green" with It becomes "Red Dew", which is adapted from previous poems, seamless and integrated.
The next piece continues the author’s self-admiration and unusual thoughts. With rich imagination, the poet used "sitting on a jade stone, leaning on a jade pillow, and brushing the golden emblem (playing the Yao Qin)" to express his noble and unique aspirations. The two sentences "Where is the banished immortal? There is no one to accompany me to the Bailuo Cup". On the surface, it means that Li Bai is gone and there is no one to drink with him. The implication is that he lacks close friends and feels extremely lonely. He did not regard the people of the time as his bosom friends, but instead regarded the ancients as his bosom friends, expressing his dissatisfaction with reality in a tortuous way.
The two sentences "I am Ganoderma lucidum" express his true intention of exploring here. "Immortal grass" is the "Yao grass" at the beginning, and "red lips and red face" refers to the third sentence "Peach blossoms on the stream". Su Shi's poem about Haitang in Dinghuiyuan, Huangzhou goes like this: "The red lips are so dizzy with wine that the face is dizzy, and the green sleeves are rolled with gauze and the red reflects the flesh." The flowers are beautiful and similar, so it can also be used to talk about peach blossoms here. These two sentences are metaphors and symbolic language, and their meaning is like what Li Bai said in the fourth of "Twelve Ancient Poems": "Be ashamed of the beauty in the world, and cherish the treasure in the heart." "What's the point of roaring" means that there is no need to worry and sigh about not getting fame and fortune.
The image of the protagonist in this poem is high-spirited and unconventional, and he does not seem to be a cannibal for the world. The poet uses a quiet, peaceful, contented and fairy-like style to describe the natural streams and mountains without any tackiness. In fact, he wants to imagine the world and build a self-satisfied realm in the world, where he can be intoxicated and linger. In it, we can fight against the real society full of power and deceit, and forget the troubles of the world.
This poem is written by Huang Tingjian during his spring travels. Huang Tingjian once participated in the compilation of "Records of Shenzong" and ridiculed Shenzong's flood control measures in writing. Later, he was falsely accused of "slandering the country by taking advantage of disasters". Therefore, he was demoted to Southwest twice in his later years. This poem was probably written when the author was demoted in his later years.
