"Peony" Li Shangyin
The brocade curtain was first rolled into Mrs. Wei's, and the embroidered quilts were still piled up across Ejun.
Hands down, jade pendants are flipped randomly, and tulip skirts are danced with bent waists.
The candles of the Shi family were never cut, and the incense burner of Xun Ling was ready to be smoked.
I am a colored pen passed down in a dream, and I want to write flowers and leaves and send them to the morning clouds.
Translation:
The brocade curtains have just been rolled up, and it is the beautiful Mrs. Wei; the silk-embroidered quilt is still piled up, and it is the handsome Yuejun.
It seems to be dancing with hands hanging down, and the carved jade pendants are turning randomly; it also seems to be dancing with the waist bent, and the tulip skirts are gyrating.
It is like Shi Chong’s candle. Why do you need to cut off the wick often? It is like Xun Lingjun's body and skin. How can it be dyed and scented with an incense burner?
I am Jiang Yan, a poet. I got that colored pen in my dream. I want to inscribe beautiful words on flowers and leaves and send them to Chaoyun.
"Peony" is a seven-rhyme poem composed by Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem uses peonies to express the poet's admiration and longing for the person he likes, and compares it with the stunning beauty of the trees. He uses flowers to describe people, and implies that the lover in his mind is as beautiful as flowers and jade. The first couplet combines allusions to depict a close-up picture of a single peony. The chin couplet shows the graceful grace of peonies swaying in the wind. The neck couplet specifically describes the color and fragrance of peonies. The last couplet uses the allusion of colored pens in dreams to express the poet's heartbeat. The excitement and excitement of God. The whole poem is cleverly conceived, borrowing objects to compare with people, and using people to imitate objects. It expresses peonies and secretly praises beautiful women. One is real and the other is virtual, making it unique.
