Pipa language expresses a sentimental mood. The faint sound of keys, coupled with the unique "sobbing" characteristics of pipa, an oriental musical instrument, draws people's feelings step by step and makes them indulge in the artistic conception of music.
Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip in Tang Dynasty, the original text is as follows:
Tonight, when I heard you playing the guitar, I felt that my hearing was illuminated by wonderful music. Don't leave us. Come, sit down. Play it for us again. Translate the travel notes of pipa for you.
... she was moved by my words, stood there for a while, and then sat down to play her strings-they sounded even sadder. Although the tune was different from what she had played before, all the listeners covered their faces.
But which of them cried the most? ? This Jiujiang official. My blue sleeves are wet.
Translation:
Tonight, I listened to you play the pipa and spoke your mind, just like hearing Yue Xian's refreshing. Please don't refuse to sit down and play another song; I want to write a new poem "Pipa" for you. Moved by my words, she stood for a long time; Turn around and sit down, then tighten the strings and dial the urgent tone. Sadness is no longer like the sound just now; People here are hard of hearing, hiding their faces and crying. Which of you shed the most tears? My tears of Jiangzhou Sima soaked my blue skirt!
Appreciation of Pipa Prosperity
The content of Pipa Xing, as stated in the preface, tells the story of the author's relegation from Chang 'an to Jiujiang, listening to an Chang 'an's commander play the pipa and telling his life story. As a long narrative poem, this poem is rigorous and meticulous in structure, with twists and turns in plot and ups and downs.
This is a famous masterpiece of realism. The full text takes the characters as clues, not only writing the life experience of the pipa girl, but also writing the poet's feelings, and then meeting in the sentence "We are both unhappy-to the end of the day". The singer's tragic experience is very specific and can be regarded as a bright line; The poet's feelings permeate between the lines, and with the constant changes of the music played by the pipa girl and her life experience, it can be regarded as a dark line.
This one is bright and dark, one is real and one is empty, which makes the plot ups and downs. The story it tells is tortuous and touching, and the emotion it expresses can arouse people's voices. The language is beautiful but not flashy, refined but not obscure, the content is close to life and has a wide range of sociality, elegance and popularity.
