Make an appreciative comment
Zhuzhici is a folk song in eastern Sichuan in ancient times. People sing while dancing, accompanied by drums and piccolo. In the singing contest, whoever sings the most will be the champion. Liu Yuxi loved this kind of folk song very much when he was the secretariat of Kuizhou. He absorbed the spirit of Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs", adopted the scores of local folk songs, made new Zhuzhi Ci, and described the local landscape and love between men and women, which was full of life breath. Genre is the same as seven-character quatrains. However, in writing, line drawing is used more than allusions, the language is fresh and lively, vivid and fluent, and the folk songs are rich in color. Liu Yuxi wrote several poems about Zhi Zhu, which fall into two categories. This is the second in a group.
The second song is different from the first one. It doesn't use homophonic words to write subtle things, but naturally leads to homesickness from listening to Ba people sing Sichuan.
The first sentence, "How many rivers and mountains are there in the Chu River", seems to be a simple description, but it tells the sadness that the poet has been relegated for many years because of the political reform case of Wang School. Chudiba Mountain is far from Chang 'an. Although it has temporarily avoided the political whirlpool, it is still unwilling for people with lofty ideals. "A cloud rises between the light of heaven and me, hiding his city from my melancholy heart." This may be the poet's deepest thought. This can't help but make people sad, and it's normal to be sad and depressed. The heavy stone in my heart can't be moved, and neither can the loneliness and boredom that are difficult to eliminate. Jiang Yu came again, and the rain didn't stop, which made it worse.
"Ba people can sing folk songs." In this way, homesick songs were introduced to the ears. "The singer knows that the listener is worried, and there is always love when he sighs." It is common for Ba people to sing, but the poet writes ordinary things into his poems, which shows that the poet's own mood is often not calm. Naturally, it's not just because I'm fidgeting after listening to Ba people's songs. People always feel sorry for others because of something. This is very natural and normal. The damage that was originally caused by Jiang Yuduo was made worse by the singing of Ba people.
I feel homesick when I hear songs, which naturally leads to the following two sentences: "Today northerners are homesick for Gena." Chang 'an, which is not his own place, has been demoted many times, and he even has long given up hope in politics. Chang 'an is only his own sorrow. As for where the poet wants to go, he can guess from the poem. Gona should be regarded as a country song in the poet's hometown. The villagers who are dressed in green and dancing with the harmony of singing must be the ones who welcome themselves back. This is the only place where you don't reject yourself. Because of this idea, the green water microwave outside the window gradually turned into a green front that danced in the wind to welcome his return, and the beat of "Gena" heard in my ear was so clear.
The lyrics of the group poems are lively and lively, with a strong flavor of life and distinctive folk characteristics. Liu Yuxi, like Qu Yuan's Nine Songs, borrowed from local folk songs, changed folk customs into literati's elegance, and created folk-song poems different from literati literature, which showed the important significance of the complementarity of elegance and popularity in literary creation.
Creation background
From the first month of the second year of Changqing (822) to the fourth year of Changqing (824), Liu Yuxi was the secretariat of Kuizhou in the summer and wrote eleven poems about Zhi Zhu. Eleven Poems on Bamboo Branches are divided into two groups, two of which were written after the other nine poems (nine poems on bamboo branches) and re-created by the poet after the first nine groups were completed.
