Ancient Poetry on Red Embroidered Shoes 1
Original text of the ancient poem
Sitting next to each other against the cloud window, hugging the moon pillow and singing together, listening and counting Worrying about having to watch the fourth update early. The love is not enough after the fourth watch, and the night is like a shuttle when the love is not enough. Oh my gosh, what's the point of an extra update?
Translation translation
Sitting next to each other under the window, leaning on each other, hugging each other, pillowing on the moon, humming together. Listening carefully, counting one by one, with worry and fear, the fourth watch has been struck. It's past the fourth watch, and I haven't had enough fun yet. I feel like the night flies by like a handsome man. Oh my god, what’s not to do with the addition of Yi Geng!
Explanation
Cloud window: A window engraved with cloud-shaped patterns.
Moon pillow: a pillow shaped like a crescent moon.
The fourth update: means dawn is about to come.
Night is like a shuttle: It means that time is like a shuttle, passing by in an instant. It is a metaphor that time flies by quickly.
Leap one update: Leap: refers to extending (the wish). Extended update: There are leap years in the Gregorian calendar, and leap months in the lunar calendar. The rest of the year is a "leap". Of course, there is no "leap" in the update. This is the idea here for lovers to get together, especially because they are afraid of the short night.
Poetry Appreciation
Some of the works with emotional themes in Yuan Opera are written very boldly, which is different from the implicitness of poetry. In fact, there is such content in poetry, but because it is implicit, it does not appear so dazzling, so there are comments such as "Guofeng" is lewd but not lewd" by later generations.
The words should be more revealing, but there are certain limits. "At this moment, the ecstasy is secretly dissolved, and the Luo belt is lightly separated." Qin Guan's "Man Ting Fang" probably can only write this Scale. In this way, Qin Guan was also criticized by his teacher Su Dongpo.
Yuan opera is closer to the taste of the people, so it is more bold in performance, and there are indeed some vulgar tastes and even nakedly erotic descriptions. However, most of the works remind me of Zhang Chang in the Han Dynasty. Thrush's story.
Someone reported to the emperor that Jingzhao Yin Zhangchang was immature and actually painted his wife's eyebrows in the morning. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty asked Zhang Chang. Zhang Chang admitted that this was indeed the case, but added: "I heard that in the boudoir, the privacy of a couple is more than a thrush." ??The emperor laughed, and naturally he would not blame Zhang Chang anymore. See "Book of Han·Biography of Zhang Chang".
There is so much written in the front of this song, but it is actually paving the way for the last sentence, which is emotional but unreasonable, but is the real thought of the lovers. "Listen, count, worry, and be afraid. The fourth watch is too early. The love is not enough, and the love is not enough, and the night flies." It is almost dawn, and it is almost time to say goodbye. What should I do? They even hope to God that "a leap will not hurt anything." Ancient Poetry on Red Embroidered Shoes 2
Original text of the ancient poem
Dreams broke the socks of King Chen, and love hurt the bachelor's pipa. See the west wind again and change the years. A few glasses of tear-jerking wine, and what time to send autumn flowers. Pedestrians are as far away as the sky.
Translation Translation
Waking up from the dream of meeting Luo Shen is as sentimental as Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing". The autumn wind blows again and the years pass quickly. After a few glasses of wine, sad tears arose. At what time did the yellow flowers send off the autumn light, and I wandered around the world alone.

Poetry Appreciation
This song is titled "Late Autumn" and describes the sadness of farewell. Late autumn itself has a desolate and desolate atmosphere, which more quickly brings out the sadness and pain of parting, reflecting the infinite pain of the author missing the Luo Shen.
Using allusions to flash images without elaborating, thereby activating readers’ experiences and associations, is a commonly used ideographic technique in ancient literary works. At the beginning of the article, two allusions of Chen Wang Luo Sock and Bachelor Pipa are used to start the article. Then the two images of "tears and wine" and "autumn flowers" are used to strengthen the sad color of the article. Faced with the situation of wandering to the end of the world, I can only drink and cry with infinite sorrow. Waving from now on, people from two places in the world, and the work deliberately highlights the chill of late autumn, have a depressing effect.
Judging from the two allusions in the first two lines of the song, the content is related to a chance encounter between people of the opposite sex. This encounter leads to an emotional story, but its tragedy lies in the short-lived nature of love. . The poet has clearly known that the "dream is broken", but still can't help being "emotionally hurt", which shows that he is deeply in love. This kind of love dream that is destined to be unrepeatable sets a melancholy and loss tone for the whole song. It is worth mentioning that Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" records that "in the third year of the early Huang Dynasty, I returned to the capital and returned to Luochuan." Although the specific date is not specified, the poem contains "I am sleepless at night, and I am sober." The phrase "The frost brings dawn" shows that his encounter with Luo Shen happened in autumn; and Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" clearly stated that "the maple leaves and flowers are rustling in autumn" and "the only thing I can see is the white moon in the middle of the river in autumn". These two allusions are consistent with the title of "Late Autumn" and are probably not accidental in this work. In this way, "seeing the west wind again and changing the age" is not only the author's true feeling, but also consistent with the aforementioned allusions, which makes it even more meaningful.
In the sad atmosphere of autumn, the author uses bitter wine and residual flowers as a foil to narrate the reality of his wandering "at the end of the world". A love dream is inherently unfounded, and coupled with the separation of time ("seeing the west wind again and changing the years") and the distance of space ("walking to the end of the world"), it makes people feel unbearable. Every sentence in the work is like a sigh. The poet included all these contents under the title of "Late Autumn", and the sadness of his situation and mood is ready to be expressed.
The main artistic feature of this song is that it quotes a large number of sad poems about farewell from the predecessors to express the author's sadness and farewell. It can be called a masterpiece of farewell. The subtlety of the article is that there is no word "li" in the whole text about farewell, which shows the author's profound literary skills.
