Li Qingzhao
Warm rain, sunny wind, the beginning of breaking ice, the eyes of willow leaves and the cheeks of plum all feel the heart of spring. Who and * * *? Tears melt powder, and the buds are heavy. At first glance, I tried to sew the shirt with gold thread. The pillow was oblique, which broke the hairpin and the phoenix. There is no good dream when you are alone and heartbroken, but you still have to cut your snuff in the middle of the night.
The words such as Wonderful Selections of Sages in Tang and Song Dynasties, Selected Poems of Caotang and Selected Poems of Ancient and Modern Times are all titled "Mercy", and The Selected Poems of Caotang also notes that "I am in love with spring". From this point of view, these fears are not the original questions, but are added by later generations according to the content of the words; In addition, "Love in Spring" and "Divorce from Love" really summarize the main contents of the words. Judging from the content and style of the word, this word was written shortly after the poet's marriage, when the husband and wife separated and Li Qingzhao lived alone.
"It's warm, sunny, windy and cold at first. I have a feeling of spring." In the first three sentences, the poet looked out the window and put pen to paper to write down the spring scenery. But in the early spring, the spring breeze turned to rain, which was warm and pleasant, the earth warmed up, and tender willows began to grow, such as eyes slightly open, bright plums in full bloom, fragrant and blushing, and there was a scene of spring everywhere. Although there were no great twists and turns in the poet's early life, he often had unexpected ideas with his unique talent, delicate emotions, keen perception of the outside world and strong concern. Words to express, it is often better to take photos alone, people have not made it, people have not seen it. It seems that "warm weather, sunny weather" is not enough to express the characteristics of the arrival of spring, and the "willow eyes and plum cheeks" that follow closely make the arrival of spring more direct and vivid. Li Shangyin said in the poem "February 2nd" that "flowers must be rogue, and purple butterflies and wasps have feelings", and Su Shi described willow leaves as "lingering in the soft intestine, sleepy and eager to open" in the poem "Shui Long Yin". It seems to be inspired by this, and the poetess seized two very distinctive things and wrote the vitality of spring. Semantically, the third sentence "I feel the heart of spring" is a summary of the coming of spring and an expression of my love for spring. Poets enjoy the spring scenery and must think about it when they see its beautiful scenery. This sentence also expresses the feelings expressed by the poet in the following two sentences: "Who is drunk and who is poetic?" Tears melt powder and flowers are heavy. "The poetess's delicate and sensitive thoughts and feelings have been further strengthened. In the face of such a beautiful spring, she naturally thinks that she is alone in the boudoir, lonely, which is in sharp contrast with the warm atmosphere of playing epigraphy, cooking tea and wine and enjoying poetry with her husband Zhao Mingcheng in the past. A poem "Who and * * *" tells the poet's inner bitterness at the moment. Then the poet used a detail to further describe his inner bitterness. Tears flowed out, and his face was powdered. He felt heavy and the flower buds on his head were heavy.
In the next paragraph, the poet followed the last sentence with subtle strokes, focusing on his specific lonely life in the boudoir. "At first glance, try to sew a shirt with gold thread. The pillow is inclined and the pillow is damaged." Spring is warm and sunny, and spring clothes are first tried. However, the poet stayed at home to watch the beautiful spring scenery, but leaned on the mountain pillow, so that it was exquisite and broken. "Mountain pillow", namely sandalwood pillow, is called mountain pillow because of its concave shape. Poets don't go out to watch spring scenery, for fear that their beautiful scenery will lead to sadness, and secondly, they also show that they are depressed and extremely lazy. A word "loss" also implies the poet's laziness and listlessness. The last two sentences: "I don't have a good dream when I am alone, but I still have to cut my snuff at night." Worry is invisible, but it says "hug", which shows how "thick" and heavy this worry is for it, not to mention "hug", which is even more embarrassing. "No good dreams" means that reality is lonely and boring, and I want to seek comfort in my dreams, but I can't sleep all the time. Until the dead of night, I was still cutting snuff to alleviate my worries. The word "you" vividly describes the poet's boring modality. In addition, cutting lights is often used by ancient women to predict the husband's return. These two sentences are extremely detailed and vivid, seemingly casual. For example, describing life itself is a chore, and it can't be written without life experience and profound artistic skills. He Shang, a critic of Ci in Qing Dynasty, rated these two sentences as "ecstasy sentences" (Wrinkled Shuixuan Ci).
