flowers fall
Falling elements turn red and hurt each other, while brothel smoke and rain endure and forget each other.
Flying is a whirl dance, and half makeup has fallen.
At sea, the guests return to the pearl tears, and the people in Zhangtai lose their bones.
Maybe I didn't mean to pass on two butterflies, so I paid my heart and honey room.

(1) Tianxi five years (102 1), Song Qi was twenty-four years old. He and his younger brother Song Yao traveled around Anzhou (now Anlu, Hubei) in cloth, and learned that Xia Song was very kind to him, so they ordered a poem "Falling Flowers" during the dinner. Song Yao said: "Pei Han.
(2) Precautions
① Falling flower element: falling flower and white flower. Turn red: withered red flowers. ② Brothel: Blue-walled building, which was the residence of a lady in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it has gradually become synonymous with brothels. It is still used here in its original meaning. Hope: Read flat here. ③ Return air dance: In the ancient novel The Story of the Cave, Li Juan, the imperial secretary of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, sang Return Air Song in Zhisheng Hall. I waited for him with half makeup on purpose (that is, only half my face). ⑤ Sea: In ancient times, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea were generally called the sea, while the South China Sea was called the South China Sea or the Rising Sea. Only the South China Sea produces pearls, and the sea here refers to the sea. The semantic version of Li Shangyin's Jinse: Men shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea. According to an ancient legend, there is a Jiao Ren in the South China Sea, and tears turn into pearls. Here, it refers to people crying mussels.
(3) the whole poem translation:
The sky is full of fallen flowers, with their own sadness. In the misty brothel, I can't help thinking of my old friend. How can I forget them?
Flowers seem to fall in the air with the songs sung by beautiful women, just like a beautiful woman with half makeup, delicate and touching.
I, a wanderer, can't help feeling the same way when I see the scene of falling flowers, and I burst into tears. This kind of mood is as empty and lonely as the tourists leave in the bustling street. Only the lingering fragrance of fallen flowers is still floating in the air, attracting two beautiful butterflies and turning their love into sweet honey.
(4) Evaluation
This is a well-conceived poem about objects. According to China's ancient aesthetics, there are generally three different levels to describe scenery: one is to be similar, that is, to convey the external characteristics of objective things; Second, we should have both form and spirit, that is, in addition to the external characteristics of things, we should further reflect the internal spiritual essence contained in the form of things. The highest requirement is to take the spirit from the appearance, that is, poets and artists sometimes deliberately ignore it in order to express objective things more accurately and richly.
Song Qi's poems are about the green and red seasons, bleak and rainy. As soon as the poet came up, he thought that not only people will cherish flowers, but flowers will also cherish themselves, so he wrote the first sentence first and then the second sentence, which made people unable to bear to look at each other. This formed a sad atmosphere and set the tone for the whole poem.
Generally, flowers are compared to beautiful women, but Song Qi describes the flying of flowers with the beauty's fast dance and the beauty's residual makeup. This is the author's ingenuity. Most importantly, these two poems also symbolize a person's indomitable spirit in hardships, so they are highly valued by future generations.
The second sentence is just a metaphor, which has nothing to do with appearance, but shows character and charm. This is an example of judging by appearances. It's a pity that the flowers fall behind. Haike returns, Taiwan Province people go, and tourists are impermanent. Because of the fragrance left by the bones, Zhuzhu burst into tears, but their physical injuries are one. At the end, I said that the flowers were picked by bees and became honey and entered the room, although I wanted to recruit again.
