Wu Si, Shu and Zhang Tong are in high autumn, and the empty mountains are not flowing.
Jiang Yue wept for Motome's sadness, while Ping Li was playing China.
Kunshan jade broken Fengming, hibiscus crying, Xianglan laughing.
The cold light melts in front of the twelve gates, and the twenty-three silk moves the purple emperor.
Nu Wa makes up the sky by refining stones, and the stones break the ground to stir up the autumn rain.
Dream into the holy mountain to teach the gods, and the old fish dance with the waves.
Wu Mian leans against the laurel tree, showing his feet and flying obliquely to wet cold rabbits.
Translation:
In the late autumn night, I played Wu Si Shutong and turned it into a beautiful piano. Hearing the wonderful music, the white clouds in the sky condensed and stopped floating.
Hunan and Hubei shed tears among the bamboos for nine days. This is because musician Li Ping plays in Beijing.
The music is crisp and pleasant, just like the beautiful jade of Kunlun Mountain and the chirp of phoenix; Sometimes let hibiscus cry in the dew, and sometimes let vanilla laugh.
The crisp music melted the cold phosgene in front of the twelve gates of Chang 'an. Twenty-three strings were put high and lightly, which touched the flying god.
High-pitched music rose into the sky and rushed to the sky where Nu Wa filled the stone. It seems that the colorful stone that filled the sky was broken, and the autumn rain fell all over the sky.
In the illusion, it seems that the musician entered the holy mountain and taught the fairy skills; The old fish jumped excitedly in the waves, and the thin jiaozi danced happily.
In the Moon Palace, WU GANG was attracted by music and stayed up all night under the laurel tree. The rabbit under the laurel tree also stood listening, regardless of the dew flying obliquely, chilly!
Appreciate:
Li Ping, a disciple of Li Yuan, is famous for playing the piano. "The emperor meets the princes one day", and his social status seems to be much higher than that of Li Guinian, a famous singer in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. His superb skills were warmly appreciated by the poet. Li He has rich imagination, magnificent colors and strong artistic appeal. Fu Nan, a scholar in A Qing, compared it with Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip and Han Yu's Listening to a Master of Lingxiu, praising it as "writing with sound".
The first sentence of the poem comes straight to the point, and the writing structure of Wu Si Shutong is excellent, so as to set off the performer's superb skills, that is, writing things, that is, writing people, killing two birds with one stone. The word "high autumn" not only means late autumn in September, but also means "crisp autumn", which is more meaningful than "late autumn" and "late autumn" Write music in two or three sentences. The poet deliberately avoids the invisible, colorless and elusive subject (rustling sound) and writes from objects (such as "empty mountains and condensed clouds"), which is expressive.
As soon as the beautiful and melodious string songs came out, the clouds in the empty Shan Ye slumped and stagnated, as if they were listening; Xiang Eqing and Motome, who are good at playing drums and piano, were also moved to tears by music. The sentences in "Empty Mountain" empathize with things, and writing about clouds has human auditory function and thoughts and feelings, which seems to go further than "If the sky is affectionate, the sky will be old" ("Golden Copper Immortal Ci Han Song"). It cooperates with the following sentence "Jiang E" and brings out the best in each other, trying to set off the magic and beauty of the voice, which has the charm of "earth-shattering, making the gods cry". In the fourth sentence, "Li Xihua", the surname and first name of the actor were pointed out with the "Fu" pen, and the performance place was explained. In the first four sentences, the poet deliberately broke through the general way of telling people, time and place in turn, and made other careful arrangements. He first wrote the piano and the sound, and then wrote the person, time and place in tandem, interspersed among them. This highlights the music and has the artistic power of sound.
Five or six sentences are all positive music, but each has its own characteristics. "Kunshan" sentence is written by sound, focusing on the ups and downs of music; "Lotus" sentence is to write the sound in form and deliberately render the beauty of music. "Kunshan Phoenix Call", sometimes all the strings sing together, such as landslides, it is difficult to distinguish; Sometimes a string sounds alone, just like a phoenix chirping, shaking trees, very sonorous. "Lianku Lanxiao" is a strange idea. Dewy hibiscus flowers (that is, lotus flowers) are not uncommon, and blooming orchids do give people the feeling of wanting to laugh. They are all incarnations of beauty. The poet described the sadness of the piano with "the tears and dew of the lotus", while "the laughter of Lan Xiang" showed the joy of the piano, which can be heard and witnessed. This expression is really wonderful.
From the seventh sentence to the end of the article, I wrote about sound effects. Write nearby first. The cold air in front of Chang 'an Twelve Doors was completely melted by the rustle. In fact, cold air can't melt, because Li Ping plays so well that people are intoxicated by his wonderful string songs, and even can't feel the cold dew in late autumn. Although the language is romantic and exaggerated, it expresses a true feeling. "Purple Emperor" is a pun, referring to the Emperor of Heaven and the emperor at that time. The poet's substitution of "Purple Emperor" for "King" is not only the pursuit of novel words and expressions, but also a clever transitional technique, which connects the preceding with the following and naturally expands the artistic conception of poetry from the world to the fairy house. In the next six sentences, the poet flies to heaven and mountains with the wings of imagination, bringing readers into a broader, deeper, more magical and magnificent realm. "Nu Wa tempered the stone to make up the sky, and the stone shook the autumn rain", and the music spread to the sky. Nu Wa, who fills the sky, was fascinated and even forgot her duties. As a result, the stone was broken and the autumn rain poured down. How bold, unexpected and touching this imagination is. The word "tease" closely links the powerful charm of music with the above-mentioned strange and magnificent scenes. Moreover, the scene of the rock-breaking autumn rain can also be regarded as a manifestation of the musical image.
In the fifth couplet, the poet described the holy mountain from heaven. Wonderful music was introduced into the holy mountain, and the priest was moved by it; The music is so profound that "the old fish dances thin". The poet decorated the ichthyosaur with the words "old" and "thin", which seemed dull and shriveled, but it had a completely opposite artistic effect, making the musical image fuller. Old fish and thin jiaozi were originally weak and weak, and their movements were difficult, but they danced with the melody of music. This unexpected image description makes the invisible and wonderful sound appear in relief to the readers.
The above eight sentences are all forms, mostly moving images, novel and magnificent, which are dizzying. At the end of the sentence, further contrast is made with still life: after cutting the laurel tree for a day, exhausted WU GANG leaned against the laurel tree and stood for a long time, forgetting to sleep; Jade rabbit crouched aside, letting the dew in the middle of the night keep falling on her body, soaking her sweater and refusing to leave. These beautiful images full of thoughts and feelings, like the bright moon projected on the water, are deeply imprinted in the readers' hearts, distant, amusing and memorable.
The greatest characteristics of poetry are peculiar imagination, vivid image and romanticism. Poets are committed to transforming their abstract feelings, feelings and ideas about sound into concrete objects with the help of association, making them visible and sensible. Poetry does not directly judge Li Ping's skills, nor directly describe the poet's self-feelings, but only describes music and its effects. But throughout the whole article, the poet's feelings are everywhere, and his feelings and comments on music are clearly expressed in twists and turns. This makes the external image and internal feelings blend into one, forming a pleasing artistic realm.
