Li Qingzhao is remembered for her famous "slow voice". It is a bleak beauty, especially the phrase "searching, lonely, sad and miserable", which has become her personal exclusive brand and is regarded as the embodiment of sadness. The interpretation of her is "what a sad word".
In fact, before Li Qingzhao wrote this word, she had too much happiness. When Li Qingzhao falls in love with all the happiness that a boudoir girl can get, her beautiful life is to go up a storey still higher. Zhao Mingcheng, her husband, is a dashing teenager, and they are literary confidants and congenial. In addition to the elegance of ordinary literati's poetry, piano, chess and calligraphy, they also have a more congenial professional combination-epigraphy research.
Honey-like life nourishes her elegant charm and vigorous artistic creation. Please look at these two words: red lotus root fragrance, jade lingering in autumn, loose skirt, blue boat alone. Who sent the brocade book, the word geese returned, and the moon was full of the West Building. Flowers from Shui Piao to water, one kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure. There is no way to eliminate this situation, only frown and mind. ("prune")
When you sell flowers, you can buy a spring flower. Tears are lightly dyed evenly, and rosy clouds are exposed. Afraid lang guessed that a slave's face was not as good as a flower's. Yun 'an is inclined, and disciple teaches Lang Bi. (Subtract Magnolia)
Jin people smashed the jade garden in Qionglou, the capital of Bianjing (Kaifeng), and Li Qingzhao's love nest in Qingzhou, Shandong Province collapsed, and the family began to wander. In his second year in Du Nan, he died of acute illness. A man named Zhang Ruzhou came into her life. Just after she got married, Zhang took care of her in every way, but she soon showed her true colors. It turned out that he wanted to possess the remaining cultural relics around Li Qingzhao.
Li regards these things as life, and The Records of the Stone has not yet been compiled into a book. Of course not. In desperation, Li Qingzhao embarked on a blind alley, larger foe, Zhang Ruzhou was accused of bullying the monarch, and Li Qingzhao was also imprisoned. Thanks to the help of friends, Li was released after nine days in prison. But it left a heavy scar in her heart. The spark of love in a woman's heart goes out forever. How can this not make her depressed and worried?
In A.D. 1 134, the Jin people invaded the south again and abandoned the capital and fled. Li Qingzhao's second exile in Jinhua. The national fortune is difficult, and I am worried. Someone invited her to visit the nearby Shuangxi Scenic Area. She sighed and didn't want to go out: the wind lived with fragrant flowers and she was tired of combing her hair at night. Things are people, not everything, and tears flow first. It is said that Shuangxi Spring is still good, and it is also planned to make canoes. I'm afraid the boat won't move. I'm worried. (Wu Lingchun)
In her twilight years, Li Qingzhao, childless, guarded a lonely small courtyard and had no relatives around her. State affairs are difficult to ask, and family matters are afraid to be mentioned again. Only the autumn wind sweeps the yellow leaves in front of the door, and occasionally one or two old friends visit. She has a friend named Sun. Her little daughter is ten years old and very smart.
One day, when the children came to play, Li Qingzhao told her that you should learn something. I am old and willing to teach me what I have learned all my life. I don't want my child to blurt out, "It's not a woman's business to have talent." Li Qingzhao couldn't help but gasp. She felt dizzy and held the door frame to avoid falling.
Li Qingzhao felt as if she had fallen into an abyss irrelevant in all directions, and a terrible sense of loneliness came to her. She walked blankly among the fallen leaves and yellow flowers in late autumn in Hangzhou and sang this song "Slow Voice", which condensed her life and pain and established her position in the history of China literature:
Looking around, lonely and sad. It's the hardest to stop breathing when it's warm and cold. Three glasses and two glasses of wine, how can you compare with it? It's too late to worry. Guo Yan is very sad, but this is an old acquaintance. The yellow flowers are piled all over the floor, withered and damaged, and now no one can pick them. Looking out the window, how can you be alone? Indus is drizzling, and at dusk, it is falling. This time, what a sad sentence!
What is Li Qingzhao looking for? As a woman, she can neither gallop on the battlefield like Yue Fei, nor engage in a lawsuit like Xin Qiji, nor have a friend who can toast and pat the railing in politics and literature like Lu and Xin. She didn't even have a chance to associate with them, only one person.
With extraordinary talent and diligence, and with the help of the power of love, she completed her masterpiece Jin Shilu academically, reaching an unprecedented height in Ci. However, that society is not strange and does not take credit. Even the ten-year-old girl said that "talent is not a woman's business." What else did Li Canqing say? She had to chew her desolation alone, and there was only one kind of sadness.
With the progress of the times, many of Li Qingzhao's heart-wrenching things and feelings have been answered, but we occasionally look back at the storm thousands of years ago and always see the beautiful god standing in the autumn wind and yellow flowers.
Extended data:
Gone with the Wind shed tears for the tragic life of the protagonist Li Qingzhao, for her mood beyond time and space, and for that "what a sad sentence". 1084, that is, in the seventh year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong, Li Qingzhao was born in an official family.
The article said: "Li Qingzhao's father, Li, is a court official. He is both a scholar and a writer, and a student of Su Dongpo. Mother is also a noble family, good at literature. This kind of birth made her perceive life, experience beauty, broaden her horizons and have a noble temperament. "

She and Zhao Mingcheng are literary confidants. It's a godsend, one in a million.
Here, Li Qingzhao has too much joy and happiness. Only later, Zhao Mingcheng died of a sudden illness on 1 129. The clear light, swaying like a reed in the wind, began her deep sorrow for the rest of her life. Li Qingzhao's hardships are obvious to all. She experienced remarriage and divorce, physical and mental displacement, fleeing everywhere, enduring loneliness beyond time and space, and even being shackled and jailed.
The body and mind have been severely destroyed and have entered old age. When she worked hard to write "Jin Shi Lu", she was regarded as a different kind by others! A passionate patriotic poet like Lu You also thinks that "talent is not a woman's business". What else did Li Canqing say? She had to chew her desolation and deep sadness alone. Li Qingzhao knew that from the Song Dynasty, only Liao Ruochen, a gifted scholar and talented woman, had excellent ci skills.
However, God refused to be beautiful and left Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty. In that era of constant escape and chaos, people like Li Qingzhao were really redundant. How can she not worry? Moreover, she is worried about her family, her country, her feelings and her studies. Who can really understand her heart? "Talent is not a woman's business" is people's evaluation of her. In this case, how can she not worry?
So she used her life's suffering to recite the "slow voice": looking for, cold and clear, sad and miserable. It's the hardest to stop breathing when it's warm and cold. Three glasses and two glasses of wine, how can you compare with it? It's too late to worry. Guo Yan is very sad, but this is an old acquaintance. The yellow flowers are piled all over the floor, withered and damaged, and now no one can pick them. Looking out the window, how can you be alone?
Indus is drizzling, and at dusk, it is falling. What a sad word this time! Li Qingzhao, your search, your misery and your tragedy are all innocent now. Autumn wind and yellow flowers, in a blink of an eye, all go with you. Your life is full of ups and downs! Drip, worry! You are like Sister Xianglin and Qiu Jin, but you are more tragic and legendary than them! You are really a beautiful god in troubled times!

In the lyrics, he wrote more about his early leisure life, his later life experience and sentimental mood. In form, it makes good use of line drawing, forms its own school and has beautiful language. On the theory of ci, it emphasizes harmony and elegance, puts forward the theory that ci is different from one family, and opposes the method of writing ci into poetry. There are not many who can write poems. Some chapters have a sense of the times, praise history and use generous words, which is different from their style of words.
