Liu Yong, the song of the fairy
On the spur of the moment, I was idle and blue, and the smoke went east. Shu Qi is fragrant, and Zhu Ting is full of orchids. The green grass is flat, the wind is light and warm, the willows are weeping on the curved bank, and the peach garden is shaded. Outside the fragrant trees, sparkling wine flags rose far away.
Travel. Gradually enter the scenery of Sanwu, the fish market in the water town, think about the farther god Beijing, throw a tryst there and have some fun. Unable to stand alone, I looked anxiously to the west and to the side of the sun. I was busy and my return trip was blocked. If you sigh for a while, words are groundless. Sadness is the hardest. Standing on the right, it will be dusk in Yun Lan. Far from the river, but close at hand, at this time.

Distinguish and appreciate
The first part describes the beautiful scenery of Bianjing (Kaifeng), the capital city of the Northern Song Dynasty, and his own chic and proud life. In the next film, I wrote that the journey passed through the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, where the scenery was somewhat like the capital, reminding Liu Yong Wise of his wild and charming private life in the capital. In fact, Sanwu has been a paradise on earth since ancient times, as Sima Guang wrote in the poem "Send Yang Taizu to Changzhou County" in the Song Dynasty: "Sanwu County is the first, and the people are prosperous." Words, but in Liu Yong's eyes, natural than Beijing's romantic pride.
The style of the whole word is not high, but the melody is harmonious and the meaning is appropriate. Especially writing about the capital, calming the weather and describing music. This is because Liu Yong described the peaceful weather and splendid scenery of the capital at that time with the wind of the late Tang Dynasty, such as in the first song [Yellow] of his "Collection of Movements": "The oriole first danced and moved to. Seeing the wet golden clothes, Ye Ying speaks like a spring. Xiao Lai's branches are so rough that he seems to whisper in his heart. " Write the beautiful image atmosphere of Spring 3 with fluent words. This word is the same. A few words from the last film opened a landscape painting in front of your eyes, and it was memorable while enjoying it.
The whole poem also basically shows that Liu Yong is good at choosing those melodies that are beautiful and harmonious and melt words in the daily life language of ordinary people. The so-called "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" can make the world sing for it. Scholars can't compare with him in this respect, so they have to admit that his writing is "extremely ingenious". However, he also said that his words were "mixed with swearing, so the people especially like to say it."
[According to the notes of the Song Dynasty, he said in the word [He]: "Endure floating names, change to shallow singing", which was disliked by Song Renzong. He said: "This man had a good time before the wind, so why should he be famous?" And fill in the words! " So he failed again and again. It was not until he changed his name to "Yong" that he became a scholar in the first year of Jing □ (1034). According to the beginning of his word [He], "On the Golden List, I accidentally lost the leading role", then this word is addressed to "Xia Di", not the word whose name was withdrawn by Injong first. Secondly, his seemingly decadent complaints were the common habits of ordinary literati at that time. Even Fan Zhongyan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, said, "If you think about it carefully, it will be like Liu Ling getting drunk." "The world is not a hundred years old, ... how can you bear to be tied to a floating name?" ([Yi Yin Deng] Liu Yong complained from Fan Zhongyan. It is also said that due to Injong's criticism of him, he claimed to "write words according to the imperial edict" (Huang Ru in the Art Garden). In fact, his lyrics on weekdays are not the imperial edict of the emperor, but the "incense edict" of the singer maiko who has a close relationship with him. ]
[Liu Yong enjoys the city life of Bianjing in the relatively prosperous and happy social environment of Renzong. In addition to some works describing the leisure and sadness of singers and maidens, he also wrote many complaints about his dissatisfaction and the pain of traveling and serving. Describing the picturesque landscape of the motherland in these works can really be described as "a state in which beauty and fragrance have been washed away". For example, The Red River, The Early Harvest of Twilight Rain, Looking into the Distance, The Dragon Airborne Mourning and Yulin Ridge are all landscapes, which make you feel like you are in nature. As for his description of the beauty of urban scenery, it can also make readers see it clearly. According to legend, Yan Hongliang, the gold owner, read Liu Yong's "Watching the Sea" and moved his family to the south, dreaming of "the first peak in Wu Shan immediately". Liu Ci [Wang Haichao] said, "The smoke willows draw a bridge, and the wind curtain is green, which is different from a hundred schools. Clouds and trees surround the bank and sand. The wild waves roll with frost and snow, and the natural risks are endless. " Pearl in the city, Luo Qi in every household, competing for beauty. Also known as "Heavy Lake Stack □ Ting Anne". There are Sanqiu cassia seed and Shili Lotus.
The evaluation of Liu Yong's works has been divided since the Song Dynasty. One thing all the comments are consistent, that is, he quoted proverbs, which is not elegant, and the theme of his works is mostly related to women, which is inevitable, but it is also loved by the broad masses of the people. The messenger of Xixia said that where there is a well to drink, you can sing Liu Ci. This is related to his use of folk sayings. But as far as the existing Liu Ci is concerned, there are not many people who use common sayings in his Ci, which is not as good as Huang Tingjian's, and it has probably been deleted when he compiled it. ]
