The specific original text is as follows:
"Spring Rain" (Tang Dynasty) Li Shangyin
I am lying in white clothes during the New Year, with a white door and a lonely white door.
The red building looks cold across the rain, and the bead foil floating lantern returns alone.
The long journey should be sad in the late spring, and the sky is still full of dreams.
How can the jade seals and seals be reached? A wild goose flies in the clouds thousands of miles away.
Translation:
During the Chinese New Year, I was wearing a white jacket and lying sadly on the bed; the loneliness of the white door made me extremely sentimental.
Gazing at the red building through the drizzle, I just felt cold and confused. I had no choice but to brave the drizzle like a bead curtain and return sadly in the dimly flickering light.
In the miserable late spring, on the long journey, where can I place my sadness? The lingering thoughts turn into empty dreams, and vaguely meet you in Canxiao's dream.
I have a pair of jade bracelets as a token, how can I deliver them? I can only place my hope on the swan goose that has just arrived in the sky thousands of miles away.
Appreciation:
On a spring rainy morning, the male protagonist in the poem is wearing a white cloth jacket and lying down in his clothes. What is hidden in his heart? Why is this so? After the poem points out the sadness, it gives a summary explanation in one sentence: "The white gate is lonely and lonely, which is very disappointing." According to the Southern Dynasties folk song "Yang Bei'er": "For a while, in front of the white gate, the willows can hide the crows. I am happy to be in deep sleep. The water is fragrant, making it a Boshan stove. "The white door refers to the place where men and women meet. The place where we used to have fun is now lonely and desolate, and we no longer see each other. The frustration of being separated from the one he loves is the reason why he lies down in sorrow. As he lay in despair, his thoughts wandered, recalling the last time he visited the other party: "The red building looked at each other in the cold across the rain, and the bead foil floating lantern returned alone." It was still the familiar red building where the other party lived, but he didn't I didn't have the courage to walk in, I didn't even have the courage to get closer to it, I just stared through the rain. In the past, he felt that the red building was so kind and gentle, but now it was so cold and desolate. Maybe even he didn't know how long he had stood in front of the red building. He found that the lights in the surrounding streets and alleys were already on, and the rain was drifting past the illuminated windows like bead curtains. In the flickering of the bead curtain, he walked back alone along the long and lonely rain alley in confusion.
In this poem, Li Shangyin gives love a beautiful and moving image. With the help of the spring rain falling in the sky, the poem integrates the protagonist's confused state of mind and vague dreams, as well as natural scenes such as the Spring Festival Evening and thousands of miles of clouds, to highlight the desolation of separation and the deep longing, forming an integrated artistic realm. In the couplet "The red building looks cold across the rain, and the bead-foil floating lantern returns alone", the color (red) and the feeling (cold) of the previous sentence contrast with each other. The color red is originally warm, but looking at it through the rain makes you feel cold; the last sentence is originally bright, but it comes from the illusion of the rain curtain in front of the lamp shadow, which depicts the loneliness and confusion of the protagonist in a very subtle way. mental state. The last couplet "How can the jade seal and seal be reached? A wild goose flies across the clouds thousands of miles away", which is also rich in symbolic color. Particularly creatively, with the help of natural scenery, he visualized the premonition that "the brocade book is difficult to convey", and integrated the melancholy and melancholy mood with the vast sky. All of these successfully show the protagonist's life, situation and emotions, and the scenes, tones and atmosphere are all unforgettable. The combination of this sincere and touching emotion and the beautiful and vivid images constitutes an artistic charm, in front of which people cannot help but pay their sympathy.
