Translation
Last night it rained and the wind blew violently. I woke up from a deep sleep and was not drunk. All eliminated. I asked the maid who asked the curtain, but she said that the crabapple flowers were still the same as before. Do you know? The green leaves should be more lush, but the red flowers have withered.
Appreciation
This little poem has characters, scenes, and dialogues, which fully demonstrates the expressive power of Song poetry and the talent of the poet.
"The rain last night was light and the wind was violent" refers to the rain and wind last night. Shu, literally means sparse and sparse, rather than the usual meaning of sparse. It was spring, and the famous flowers were in bloom, but then the wind and rain came to force me. I was in such a state of mind that I couldn't fall asleep, so I had to drink to relieve my sorrow. I drank too much and slept too much. As a result, when I woke up, it was already broad daylight. But the mood of last night felt like a distant memory in my chest, so as soon as I got up I wanted to ask about the things that were hanging in my mind. So she hurriedly asked the maid who was cleaning up the house and opening the curtains: How is the Begonia flower? The maid looked at it and replied with a smile: "It's not bad. After a night of wind and rain, the crabapples haven't changed at all!" After hearing this, the hostess sighed angrily, "Silly girl, do you know that the crabapple bushes are already very red? Have you seen too many green ones?”
This dialogue expresses the complex expressions and tone of the woman who is sad about spring, which is beyond the reach of poetry and painting.
The author uses "heavy sleep" and "remaining wine" as a bridge to describe the time changes and psychological evolution from night to morning, and then a "rolling curtain" breaks the dawn of dawn, which is clever and appropriate. The person behind the questionnaire did not say a word about the question, but only revealed the answer in his answer.
It is a wonderful craftsmanship, leaving no trace. The poet is happy for the flowers, sad for the flowers. Being drunk and angry for flowers actually means cherishing the spring, using flowers as a metaphor, and lamenting the perishability of youth.
This article is one of Li Qingzhao's early poems that fully reflects the author's feelings. Love for nature and spring. This is a short poem, and the content is very simple. It writes about the wind and rain in the spring night, and the poet has a premonition that the flowers and trees in the garden must be lush with green leaves. , the flowers withered. Therefore, the next morning she eagerly asked the "curtain roller" about the changes outside, but the careless "curtain roller" replied, "Begonia is still the same." To this, the poet couldn't help but use two words in a row. "Know or not" and a "should be" to correct the carelessness of his observations and errors in his answers. The sentence "green, fat, red and thin" vividly reflects the author's regret for the passing of spring.
Writing Technique
Using personification, the words "fat" and "thin", which were originally used to describe people, are borrowed to describe the lush green leaves and the scarcity of red flowers, suggesting the spring. Gradually disappear.
Commentary:
Huang Liaoyuan's "Selected Poems of Lianyuan": "A very affectionate question, the answer is 'still the same', which is very indifferent. The two sentences "Do you know" came out, and "Green, fat, red and thin" is infinitely sad, but also wonderful in its subtlety. There are countless twists and turns hidden in the short length. It is a saint among poets. "
