Original text:

Looking around, lonely and sad. It's the hardest to stop breathing when it's warm and cold. Three glasses of light wine, how can you object to his coming late and rushing! Guo Yan is very sad, but this is an old acquaintance.

Yellow flowers were piled all over the floor, withered and damaged. Who can pick them now? Looking out the window alone, how can it be dark! The phoenix tree is raining and dripping at dusk. This time, what a sad sentence!

I was alone in my humble room, looking for something in the east and west, but everything in the past was lost in the turmoil, and I can't find it anymore. At present, there is only a cold and cheerless environment (there is nothing in the empty room, and it is a depression outside autumn scenery. This environment has also caused inner sadness, so the feelings of sadness, pain and sadness come together and are unbearable. It is the most difficult to maintain interest rates when the weather is hot and cold in autumn. A few glasses of thin wine can't resist the cold wind and chill in the morning. Looking up at the sky, I saw a line of geese passing by, recalling the lines that I sent to my husband Zhao in those years. I once imagined that geese would send books and exchange messages, but now that my husband is dead, no one can send letters. I am even more sad when I see the geese from the north coming south and think of the words between the lines.

The ground is full of scattered yellow flowers, withered and withered. Now who can pick them with me? How easy it is to look out of the window all day, lonely and dark! At dusk, it began to rain in Mao Mao, a little bit, dripping on the leaves of the plane, making a heartbreaking sound. How can a word "worry" describe all these situations?

Appreciate:

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. Only by reading in the form of fu can we achieve its purpose. This word by Li Qingzhao is creative in practice. The original tone of Slow Sound is flat and flat, and the tone is slow. However, the word was changed to rhyme, and repeated use of reduplicated words and disyllabic words made the slow change into urgency and the sad change into sadness. This word is proud and indulgent, neither euphemistic nor vague, and cannot be included in the graceful style.

After the change of Jingkang, Li Qingzhao's country was broken, her family died, her husband died and she was injured. During this period, her works were no longer fresh and pleasant, nor shallow and low-key, but turned to melancholy and sadness, mainly expressing the memory of her late husband Zhao Mingcheng and her lonely and desolate situation. Slowly Searching is one of the typical representative works of this period.

The first sentence of this word is unusual, and seven groups of overlapping words are used in succession. Not only in the lyrics, but also in poems and songs. But the benefits don't stop there. These seven groups of overlapping words are also very musical. Song Ci is used for singing, so the harmony of timbre is very important. Li Qingzhao has profound attainments in melody, so when these seven groups of overlapping words are read out, it feels like pearls of all sizes are poured on a plate of jade. I only feel that my tongue and tongue are singing back and forth repeatedly, wandering in the downturn, and being sad tactfully, as if I heard a very sad person whispering. However, before she spoke, she felt that she could make the audience feel her sadness, and when she finished, the sadness still did not dissipate. An inexplicable sadness permeates my heart, permeates the air, and lingers for a long time, with endless aftertaste.

In a bad mood, coupled with the hot and cold weather, the poet can't even sleep. If you can sleep, you can escape the pain in a short time, but the more you want to sleep, the harder it is to sleep, so the poet naturally thinks of her dead husband. Get dressed and get up and have a drink to warm up. But colds are caused by loneliness. Drinking, like drinking tea, will only make you feel particularly miserable when you are alone.

Holding a glass of light wine, when the clouds were low and the wind was cold, I suddenly heard a lonely goose cry. The plaintive voice pierced the sky, once again piercing the poet's unhealed wound. My head is white and my husband flies with me. Alas, Yaner, you are crying so sadly. Are you widowed in old age like me? Like me, do you have to face Wan Li Mountain and Qian Shan Sunset Snow alone for the rest of your life? Under the delusion, in the misty tears, I suddenly feel that the lonely goose is the person who sent a love letter to himself before. There is nothing to do, flowers bloom and fall, and it seems familiar that Yan returns. The old love messenger is still there, but Qiu Niang and Xiao Lang separated after their death, and people and ghosts went their separate ways. Things are wrong, people are wrong, and tears flow first. How much unspeakable sadness this whimsy contains!

At this time, I saw those chrysanthemums, only to find that the flowers were gaunt and red all over the floor, without the elegance of "the wine in the east fence is filled with faint fragrance after dusk" Before, when her husband was alive, he sang poems and sorted out ancient books. How wonderful, but now? I am the only one left in this endless loneliness. So things are different and people are completely different. "Old weather, old clothes, only feelings, can't be like the past." Facing the lonely geese and chrysanthemums alone, I feel even more desolate. I put my cheeks in my hands and my eyes were full of tears. Fear of dusk, gain day. In the face of this gloomy day, how can a person endure until dusk? Longness makes loneliness even more terrible. A person, even time feels slow.

Finally, at dusk, it began to rain again. Bit by bit, tick by tick, the endless rain is as thin as sadness, which makes people more annoyed. Look at the two phoenix trees outside the house. Although they support each other in the wind and rain, they depend on each other, but in comparison, being alone is much more bleak.

Sudden wind and rain, lonely geese, broken chrysanthemums and phoenix trees, all in sight, make the poet's sorrow overlap and overlap until it is difficult to describe and express. So the poet no longer needs any comparison, any rendering, or anything better than Fu Xing. He simply said, "How can I miss a sad word this time?" Simple and straightforward, but more magical, more charming and more chewy. In contrast, even Li Houzhu's "How much sorrow can there be, just like a river flowing eastward" is slightly eclipsed. Although there is endless spring water in a river, it can be described after all. But the poet's melancholy is indescribable, and he is naturally better.

Previous comments on this word were characterized by a series of overlapping words in the first three sentences. But if you only pay attention to this layer, you will inevitably lose. This word describes the protagonist's sad mood all day, but it begins with "looking for". It can be seen that she felt bored and lost after getting up, so she looked around, as if people wandering in the ocean had to catch something to be saved, hoping to find something to pin their emptiness and loneliness on. The following "cold and clear" is the result of "searching". Instead of finding anything, I was attacked by a lonely and cold atmosphere, which made me feel sad and sad. Then I wrote another sentence, "sad and miserable." These three sentences, a sad and biting atmosphere enveloped the whole article, making readers hold their breath. This is the result of the so-called "I can't stop", because I have a lot of feelings about generate and have to spit it out quickly.

The last movie was from "A Man Looking for nothingness", which wrote that it is difficult to drown your sorrows by drinking; The wind sends geese, but it increases the melancholy of homesickness. So the next film was moved from high altitude in autumn to our own yard. Chrysanthemums in the garden are full of autumn. The "accumulation of yellow flowers on the ground" here refers to the blooming of chrysanthemums, not the residual English on the ground. "haggard damage" means that you are haggard and emaciated because of sadness, nor does it mean that chrysanthemums wither. It is precisely because I didn't want to look at the flowers. Although chrysanthemums are valuable, I don't want to pick them and enjoy them. This is "who can pick it now?" However, if people don't pick flowers, they will wither; If the flowers are damaged, it is unbearable to pick them. Here, I not only wrote down my frustration of picking flowers unintentionally, but also revealed my gratitude for loving flowers. The brushwork is much more profound than that sung by Du Qiuniang in the Tang Dynasty, "Flowers must be folded straight, so don't wait for emptiness".

Starting from "Watching the Window", writing about the boredom and depression of sitting alone is a step further than the three sentences in "Looking for". The sentence of "shou" is broken according to Selected Poems of Zhang Huiyan, and connected with the previous sentence with "du". Qin Guan (anonymous work), the next part of Partridge Sky: "There is nothing to say, and Fang Zun will be heartbroken until dusk. This is close to the artistic conception of the sentence "When the time comes, Yi Deng will reap the pear blossoms in the rain". However, Qin Ci started from people's psychological preparation for dusk, while Li said it from the opposite side, as if the sky deliberately refused to turn black, which made people particularly sad. The sentence "Wu Tong" was not only born out of Huaihai, but also used the next part of the article "More Leakage", "Trees, it rains in the middle of the night, and it is bitter to leave; The meaning of "one leaf, one sound, empty steps falling to the light" means that the two contents are integrated, the pen tip is straighter and the feeling is more tangent. 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.
