How to understand the word "sorrow" in Li Qingzhao's slow voice?

Slow voice

Li Qingzhao

Looking around, lonely and sad. It's the hardest to stop breathing when it's warm and cold.

Three glasses and two glasses of wine, how can you beat him? It's late in the wind. Guo Yan is very sad, but this is an old acquaintance.

Yellow flowers are piled all over the floor. Who can pick it now? Looking out the window, how can a person be dark?

Indus is raining in Mao Mao, dripping at dusk. This time, what a sad sentence?

This word was written by Li Qingzhao when she lived in Jiangnan in her later years to express her worries about her family's life experience. The biggest feature of this word is the successful use of overlap. The opening three sentences with fourteen overlapping words express three realms. "Looking for" describes people's movements and demeanor; "Cold" is about the sadness of the environment; Sadness is about the great pain in the inner world. At the same time, these pairs of overlapping words also caused the rhythm to reciprocate and strengthened the musicality of words. The second feature is to express emotion by borrowing things. The use of "light wine", "evening breeze" and "wild goose" in the first half and "yellow flowers", "phoenix tree" and "drizzle" in the second half accurately and vividly expressed the inner sadness, and finally forced out the strong feeling of "how to get a sad word", and immediately tied a knot, which was infinite in pain. The language of the whole word is simple, the feelings are delicate, the words are clever, and the paper is full of sobs, which is touching. The last sentence "How to get a sad word" is also unique. Since Yu Xin, there have been thousands of words of sorrow, or the words of sorrow are like the sea (Yu and Qin Guan's words respectively), in short, there are many words. However, here, I turn more into less, just saying that my thoughts are complicated and complicated, and how to cover everything with only one word "worry". The beauty of beauty does not mean that there are any emotions other than the word "worry", but it comes to an abrupt end as if it were nothing. On the surface, there is a tendency to "say what you want", but in fact it has been completely and vividly poured out.

This poem is very atmospheric and has no branches. It tells everything one by one, but it is always closely related to the meaning of sorrowful autumn, which is really the essence of lyric small fu in the Six Dynasties. Introducing a new voice with a simple and fresh language close to spoken language truly embodies the true nature of musicians and is indeed a valuable work.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, ancient writers used prose as their fu, while musicians used slow words as their fu. Slow words have the descriptive characteristics of fu, which are smooth, uniform and changeable, and can be called "fu" Li Qingzhao's Slow Whispering has been well-known for hundreds of years. As far as its content is concerned, it is simply a sad autumn poem.
