Li shangyin
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring.
Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun.
A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it.
This poem is full of artistic individuality, using allusions, metaphors and symbols. In the poem, butterflies and cuckoos are symbols, while pearls and jade are metaphors. They created a clear and beautiful artistic conception.
The first couplet of the poem is inspired by the sad and sad Jinse, and points out the theme of "thinking of China". For no reason, for no reason, for no reason Fifty strings. The Historical Records of Feng Chan contains 50 ancient strings, and although it is generally 25 strings later, it is still self-contained. The first and second sentences of the poem say: A beautifully painted harp has fifty strings, and I am almost fifty years old. Every string, every column, reminds me of the years when the truth came out.
Couplets and necklaces are the core of the whole poem. The story of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly in couplets can be seen in Zhuangzi's Theory of Everything: "The dream butterfly in Zhuang Zhou in the past is lifelike. ..... suddenly it feels like a week. I don't know if Zhou Zhimeng is a butterfly. Is the butterfly's dream Zhouyi? " The poem "Meng Xiao" refers to the dream when the sky is about to break dawn. "Being infatuated with butterflies" means being confused about their relationship with butterflies. In the face of fierce competition and drastic changes in the Warring States period, Zhuang Zhou produced the idea of illusory and impermanent life, while Li Shangyin used this allusion because of the decline of national strength, political turmoil and fate like duckweed in the late Tang Dynasty. Using this allusion also contains his sadness about the disappearance of love and life. He seems to have a premonition that he is going to die, and he wants to pour out his deep pain and resentment. Wang Di's legend is described in The Tale of the Universe: "Du Yu, the king of Shu, whose name was Wang Di, died of Zen and became a branch." Zigui is a cuckoo. The beautiful and desolate cuckoo described by the poet has sublimated into the poet's sad heart. Deep sadness can only be attributed to the sad cry of cuckoo in late spring. How pathetic.
After the Neck Couplet, there is a couplet. The book of the New Tang Dynasty, Di Zhuan, reads: "(Di) quoted the Ming Classic to transfer Bianzhou to join the army and falsely accused officials. Yan Zhaozhi thanked him and said, "Zhong Ni said that you know benevolence and righteousness, and you are the pearl of the sea." Biography of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Zhi and Zhuge Ke: "However, there are few talents. Sun Quan said that his father Jin Yue said,' Lantian gives birth to jade, which is really glad you came.' "Pearl" and "jade" are both metaphors of poets, not only metaphors of talents, but also metaphors of virtues and ideals. Through these two images, the poet expressed his sadness that he was endowed with outstanding talents and virtues, but he was not used by the world. At the end of the poem, rhetorical progressive sentences are used to strengthen the tone and end the whole poem. "This feeling" summarizes the feelings expressed, while "successful memories" echo "China Thinking Year". Can you stay, indicating that this melancholy and sad "feeling" has long been lost, and it is difficult to get rid of it, and it is even more unbearable at this time.
