Series: Ancient Poems Describing Autumn
Serenade of peace and joy/lyrics of peace, tranquility and joy
Wait for the wind to rest, people on the west bank say. When the moon sets, the sand surface is like a river and there are no geese at all.
The dark religion is sad and hurts Lan Cheng, and I am pitiful and concerned about my feelings every night. There is only one blade, and I don't know how many autumn sounds there are!
To annotate ...
Bitter: poor voice, cricket.

translate
Crickets wail to break their souls,
The autumn wind is bleak, the autumn banks are bleak, and autumn insects are singing.
Leng Yue falls on sandbars, and Chengjiang is like colored silk.
Thousands of miles of reed flowers are broken, and there is no trace of returning geese.
Silently worried about Yu Xin,
Regret that every night contains the feeling of separation.
Only the phoenix tree glides down leisurely,
I don't know how many sad autumn voices have been pinned!

This word can be found in Volume 4 of Baiyun Ci in the Mountains. This was given by Zhang Yan to his student Lu Xingzhi (also called Lu Fuzhi). At that time, Zhang Yannian was 53 years old.
According to the eighth volume of Coral Net, the preface of Lu Xingzhi's "Qing Ping Le Tu Re-titled Wu Bi and Cang Shi" has the following words: "When the insects are sad, people will talk about the west coast. When the moon sets, the sand is flat and the water is moving, and you are surprised to see reeds coming to geese. Poor and thin, LAN Cheng, sentimental because of green. There is only one blade, I don't know how many autumn sounds! " This word. The word "Qingqing" was a geisha in Lu at that time, which was famous for its talent and color. After the word was decided, the key words changed a lot. Probably on purpose when the author collected the word set. The original words are nothing more than writing a little "sentimental thoughts" and expressing a kind of romantic love, but the final version turns love into "sadness"-deep sorrow for the feelings brought about by the destruction of the country and the death of the family.
The first four sentences of Waiting for the Fly describe the meaning of autumn: the cry of waiting for the fly (that is, the cricket), the decline of the west wind, the coolness of the autumn moon, the clarity of Qiu Jiang, the reed flowers without geese, and a picture of Autumn Dawn killed by Xiao. Therefore, it is not difficult for people to trigger a "* * * sound" of grief. The author's choice of scenery is quite profound: writing about autumn chill, not talking about the whistling of the west wind, just waiting for sorrow; Writing autumn feelings is not a word of sorrow, but a word of thinking geese. It is both implicit and aesthetic, which shows that the author's skill is profound.
The next four sentences in "Dark Religion" show infinite "autumn worries": "Lan Cheng", a fine print believed by poets in the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, which was later captured by the northern regime. The phoenix tree leaf "Wu Ye" is the most likely to cause the feeling of autumn. Bai Juyi wrote in Song of Eternal Sorrow: "Peach, plum, bloom, spring breeze blows, autumn rain falls, and autumn rain falls", and wrote "autumn rain phoenix tree" as the most easily causing sadness in the world. There is also a poem in the humanities of the late Tang Dynasty, "Sycamore trees, rain in the middle of the night, leaving love bitter." One leaf after another, with a sound, empty footsteps fell into the light ("More Leakage"), adding rich emotional accumulation to the leaves. The author writes "a branch" while talking about leaves, which is a more vivid expression of loneliness and misery, and portrays the scene of the characters into three points. The next film is only a few words, but all the scenes written in the last film are sublimated and refined into love stories. The endless joys and sorrows between people are expressed through the stories of sadness and belief, and the world is gray through the loneliness of Wu Ye. The last sentence "Voice of Autumn" is very general and artistic, and has become a wonderful work in the world.
This word is successful in art, and it has its own characteristics from the ingenious choice of scenery to the far-reaching romance. Its style is concise and implicit; Its charm is elegant and unique; Its artistic conception is ethereal and distant; His feelings are real and touching. It is precisely because of this accomplishment that Zhang Yan's Autumn Ci can be juxtaposed with Song Yu's Nine Arguments and Ouyang Xiu's Autumn Fu. In Qing Dynasty, Chen Tingzhuo commented that Tian Yu was good at making sentences, and everyone was amazed. For example, "Qingping Music has only one leaf, and I don't know how many autumn sounds", such words are "unparalleled in the police". (See Bai Yuzhai's "Thorn" Volume II).
