Song Dynasty: Li Qingzhao
Last night, it rained suddenly and the wind blew, so I slept soundly and didn't consume wine. Ask the shutter man, Haitang is still there. You know what? You know what? It should be green, fat, red and thin.
Although it rained thinly and the wind was strong last night, a deep sleep could not consume the remaining alcohol. Ask the maid who is rolling the blinds: What about the begonia flowers in the garden now? She said that the begonia flowers are still the same as yesterday. You know, you know, this season should be lush green leaves and withered red flowers.
Extended data
"Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, so I didn't consume alcohol when I slept deeply." It was windy and rainy last night. I drank some wine at night and slept soundly until I woke up in the morning. From the beginning, the time and environment of the whole word were outlined very clearly.
"Sudden wind and rain" describes the characteristics of late spring very aptly. The wind is blowing hard, but the rain is thin. Even if it can make people feel the breath of late spring, you can use four words.
"Sleeping soundly without residual wine" describes the present state of the characters. He just woke up after drinking a little wine and looked lazy. In this state, it is easiest to think of the sudden storm last night, and there are still some worries hidden in my heart, which leads to the following situation. The first sentence is written outdoors and the second sentence is written indoors. The turning point is clever and appropriate, smart and natural.
After a storm, the hero wanted to know whether the petals of begonia in the garden were scattered, so he quickly asked the "shutter man" A word "try" writes out the worries in the characters' hearts. She doesn't want spring to pass so soon.
The word "try" vividly depicts the ambivalence that I can't bear to ask but can't help but want to know. Unexpectedly, the "shutter man" said that Haitang remained unchanged, which surprised her. Although she longed for the Chinese flowering crabapple to remain, she knew that the flowers would wither after the storm, so the answer from the "shutter man" gave her an unexpected surprise.
"Haitang Still" answers questions from the back, making its text more readable. The word "que" expresses the protagonist's initial thoughts and unexpected feelings after hearing the answer.
It also vaguely reveals that the "shutter man" doesn't understand the protagonist's mind and answers carelessly, forming a subtle contrast between the protagonist's delicate euphemism and the "shutter man's indifference. At this point, the words are superimposed into another layer, and the artistic conception opens up another world.
"You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? It should be green, fat and thin. " After all, the protagonist still knows that it is late spring. Besides, last night was a stormy night, and begonia flowers will definitely be different. So, she used two "know not" to correct the reply of "shutter man". The tone of spoken English makes these two "do you know" people feel quite fresh.
The phrase "green, fat, red and thin" describes the current situation. This sentence is the most famous one in the world. Very novel and vivid, seemingly handy, but in fact unique skills.
She used the word "green" to refer to green leaves with branches, "red" to refer to flowers with branches, "fat" to replace "more" and "thin" to replace "less", thus writing a brand-new artistic conception.
