Li Shangyin experienced 46 spring and autumn periods in his life. He passed the examination of Jinshi and erudite macro-ci, and his knowledge and talent, together with his admirable writing of the throne, were enough to make his career smooth, but he lived a life of relying on people for a long time. In the fifth year of Dazhong, Li Shang retired to the 4th year. He was recruited by Liu Zhongying, our envoy from Dongchuan, and went to Zizhou Shogunate where Liu Zhongying worked, where he spent his last and longest life as an aide. Liu Zhongying valued Li Shangyin's talent and entrusted him with important missions twice. Liu Zhongying cared about Li Shangyin's loneliness after his wife's death, and had prepared to give it to a prostitute. In the ninth year of Dazhong, Liu Zhongying was recruited into the DPRK, and the Zizhou shogunate was dissolved. Li Shangyin also ended his five-year career as an aide in Zizhou and returned to the north. At the same time, he wrote this seven laws as a gift to his colleagues in Zizhou. Zizhou is in today's Sichuan province, and its jurisdiction includes Santai, Zhongjiang, Yanting and Shehong counties. "Strike" refers to the dissolution of the shogunate. "roommates" are colleagues in the shogunate.
The first couplet summarizes the life of the staff for five years. "Don't pick" means no matter, no matter; "zhao" and "Snow Dynasty" refer to spring and winter, and extend to four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. "Engaging" means being an aide. "piao yao" is the famous Huo Qubing in Han Dynasty. Because he used to be a captain of Piao Yao, he refers to the curtain master Liu Zhongying here. This alliance means that Liu Zhongying has always been his staff for five years, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Zhuan Lian specifically described his participation in the banquet, music and dance in the shogunate. "Connecting" means sitting connection; "Zhulv" refers to the distinguished guests, and the words "Historical Records of Spring Shenjun Biography" say: "All the guests on it are treading on beads." "hang" is a separate line. "Cuiqiao" is a kind of women's jewelry that looks like the feather of an emerald bird. Here, it refers to a geisha. There were official prostitutes in the shogunate of our time in the Tang Dynasty. When seeing the chief executive, the geisha stood in branches and moved when singing and dancing. "Jun" and "I" in the upper and lower sentences are intertextual in poetry. This association means that the distinguished guests who you and I met in the willow screen because of their seats are all close to the branch and stand and dance. This couplet seems rather mundane, but on the one hand, it is the reality of the staff's career, and more importantly, it leads to the subtle and profound lyric poems of Chu Yu, Zhang Bin and Wu Nuo in the next couplet.
The sentence "Chu Yu" in the neck couplet uses Song Yu's "Gao Tang Fu" to describe that the king of Chu dreamed of meeting the goddess of Wushan. Goddess "morning clouds, dusk rain", because "Chu Yu" is used to describe the erotic feelings between men and women. This sentence, inherited from the Part I, said that he had been close to an official prostitute, and the poem involved "Chu Yu", which seemed to be "affectionate", but its essence was "entrusted". So what is the "trust"? In the pre-Qin period in ancient China, Qu Yuan used beauty herbs to describe the encounter between monarch and minister. Here, the sentence of "Chu Yu is full of affection" is also a metaphor for the poet's lifelong ideal of being appreciated and actively using the world. However, the reality is always cruel to the poet, so I will write my own reality in the next sentence. The word "Zhangbin" comes from Jian 'an poet Liu Zhen's poem "Yu Ying sank into a chronic illness and fled to clear Zhangbin" ("Gift to the five senses corps commander"), which poetically means to live in seclusion with illness. This sentence means that I am as sick as Liu Zhen, and I have no support to leave the Zizhou shogunate. I think the "illness" here is a pun. First, it refers to one's weak and sick body, and second, it refers to one's miserable life. Of course, it is difficult to trust the weak and sick, but it is even more difficult to trust the life. Neck couplet is a key link in the rhyme. Li Shangyin's key link, from the poem title of "sharing the same room", is of course to show his mentality to his colleagues, while from the "strike", it is even more a metaphor to write his own bleak mood at the time of the strike and his lifelong regret. The poet died two years after he returned to Kyoto, and this couplet can be regarded as a summary of his staff's livelihood in his tragic life.
The tail couplet focuses on the melancholy attachment of leaving the Zizhou shogunate. "Yantai" refers to Huang Jintai, who recruited wise men in Yan Zhaowang (it happened in "Yan Ce, the Warring States Policy"), and here refers to the shogunate of Liu Zhongying, which embodies Liu Zhongying's in-depth understanding. "Yi Xiang" uses Han Xun or something, and Jin people learn to chisel their teeth. "Xiangyang Ji" contains: "Xun Lingjun went to others and sat for three days." Later generations often use "fragrance of clothes" to describe people's elegant demeanor. Here, it takes the meaning of "Yantai" and refers to Liu Zhongying's kindness to himself. This couplet means that he left the Zizhou shogunate in a slow voice, and only the kindness of the curtain master Liu Zhongying will remain in his heart forever. The poem ended in this long and gentle affection.
This is a poem expressing feelings immediately. The events of the curtain call in Zizhou and the departure from Zibei itself do not contain scenery and things. With the help of related concrete images, the poet turned the notes into a beautiful picture with visual image and perception, giving people a sense of beauty and elegance. The first couplet replaces the seasonal concept of spring, summer, autumn and winter with the pleasant scenery of beautiful and elegant with spring flowers and winter snow, showing rich natural beauty; The second couplet replaced the identity concept of the distinguished guest geisha with the splendor of "bead shoes" and "emerald green", showing the beauty of objects and images; In the triple, the rain on the Chu Tian and the shore on the Zhang Shui have replaced the secular joys and sorrows of men and women, turning straight into hidden, turning vulgar into elegant, showing the beauty of implicit elegance; At the end of the couplet, Huang Jintai, the prince of Yan, and Xun Ling replaced the abstract and intangible kindness of knowing what happened, which showed the beauty of rich classics. All this is, of course, determined by Li Shangyin's "euphemistic and beautiful" aesthetic taste. Therefore, reading his poems can always give people aesthetic enjoyment.
However, Li Shangyin is by no means just an aesthete, who specializes in the pursuit of gorgeous forms. Fan Yuanshi, a Song Dynasty poet, not only said that Yishan's poems were "clever and beautiful", but also had "high sentiment and far-reaching meaning" (Poetry Eye). Liu Kezhuang's theory of Yishan's poems is "gorgeous" and "incisive in exercise and subtle in exploration" (Houcun Poetry Talk); Zhu Heling, a Qing Dynasty poet, thought that "Yuxi's poems are rich and gorgeous" (Preface to Li Yishan's Poems Annotations) all showed that Li Shangyin's poems had a deeper connotation under the appearance of "beauty". This poem uses metaphors and allusions, with profound meanings, which embodies the characteristics of "heavy and gorgeous". He referred to Liu Zhongying as "Huo Piao Yao", which naturally included his praise for Liu, which was by no means flattering. Liu Zhongying was an upright and successful official in the late Tang Dynasty, so this nickname also showed Liu Zhongying's image and the poet's admiration for him. In this way, the "flower dynasty" and "snow dynasty" in the previous sentence are not the description of general natural beauty, but also contain the meaning of life called beautiful willow curtain. The book "Chu Yu Affection" not only contains a beautiful legend of Wushan Goddess, but also contains the deep desire to meet. The classic "Yantai" not only contains the story of the ancient Ming monarch calling for sages and seeking scholars, but also contains Liu Zhongying's feelings of treating himself, which echoes "Chu Yu's affection" and implies the feelings of looking forward to the Ming Lord. Nowadays, "far away from Yantai" has shrouded a rich tragic atmosphere. As for the words "bead shoes" and "emerald green", they are more flowery than flowery, but apart from the generation of things, they have no other meaning, which shows from the opposite side that the two sentences of the neck couplet are not the key verses in the whole poem.
Li Shangyin's poems are less straightforward and straightforward, so they are full of a vague meaning, intriguing and resistant to character. Just like the conclusion of this poem, reading Yishan's poems will also have the feeling of "clothes and fragrance are not sold". However, only in this way, the poetic quality of Li Yishan's poems is often elusive, and even leads to different understandings. Even this poem "Let's sing and share the same house" has different understandings of the common annotations at present. If you think that this poem "implies irony" and "contains ridicule" to roommates, and so on. I think this poem is mainly about expressing my feelings. From the perspective of Li Shangyin's personality and poetic style, it is absolutely impossible to imply sarcasm when bidding farewell to colleagues. Moreover, in Yishan's poems, there are more than a dozen poems with the words of "play gift", "play writing" or "ridicule" and "annoyance" (banter) in the title. This is a farewell work, so this paper does not take the words of "irony" and "ridicule" and does not comment on it.
