It was a long time ago that I met her, but since we separated, the time has become longer, the east wind is blowing, and a hundred flowers are blooming.
Silkworms in spring will weave until they die, and candles will drain the wick every night.
In the morning, she saw her hair cloud changing in the mirror, but she bravely faced the cold of the moonlight with her evening song.
There are not many roads to Pengshan. Oh, Bluebird, listen! -Give me what she said! .
Translation:
The opportunity to meet each other is really hard to get, and it is even more difficult to part when we break up. Moreover, the weather in late spring, the east wind is about to close, is even more sad.
Spring silkworms don't spin silk when they die, and wax oil like tears can drip dry when candles are burned to ashes. Women dress up in front of the mirror in the morning, only worrying that the plump bangs will change color and the youthful appearance will disappear. Men can't sleep at night, so they must feel Leng Yue's aggression. The other person's residence is not far from Penglai Mountain, but there is no road to cross, just out of my reach. I hope a messenger like a bluebird will visit my lover diligently for me.
This article is from Untitled Time, which was written by Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty, long before I met her, but even after we broke up.
Creative background:
Untitled is a love poem written by Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, with the theme of parting between men and women. The first couplet of this poem is a sigh of extreme lovesickness. First, it is said that it is rare to meet each other and it is embarrassing to leave. Then, I was troubled by the feeling of leaving acacia symbolized by the powerlessness of flowers, and my mood was low. Zhuan Xu wrote his infatuation and bitterness, and his unrequited love pursuit by symbolic means, saying that love is deep and dignified, and share life and death.
Appreciate:
This poem is full of pain, disappointment, lingering and persistent feelings from beginning to end. Every couplet in the poem is a reflection of this emotional state, but the specific artistic conception of each couplet is different.
They repeatedly show the complex emotions throughout the poem from different sides, and at the same time reflect the psychological process with this complex emotion as its content vertically with their close connection. This continuous, implicit and profound lyricism successfully reproduces the deep affection in my heart. Li Shangyin had similar descriptions in the first, third, fourth and fifth sentences of his previous poetry creation.
