The Creative Background of Li Qingzhao's Autumn Cut with Red Lotus Roots and Fragrant Jade Plum

Jianyimei Red Lotus Root Fragrant Yu Can Qiu Chan Li Qingzhao

Lotus root is fragrant, and jade is lingering in autumn. Gently untie Luo Shang and go to Lan alone. Who sent the brocade book? The word goose returns, and the moon is full of the west building. Flowers from Shui Piao to water, one kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure. There is no way to eliminate this situation, only frown and mind.

This poem was written after Li Qingzhao and her husband Zhao Mingcheng parted, and conveyed the author's deep affection for parting. In the first sentence, after saying goodbye to her husband, the poet saw that the lotus flowers in the pool were all faded and fragrant, and went back to the room to lean on the bamboo mat, which was quite cool. It turns out that autumn has arrived. The poet inadvertently revealed her lagging consciousness of festivals, which really wrote that she was absent-minded after her husband left and didn't realize the changes in the environment.

Li Qingzhao was a rare talented woman in ancient China. She is good at calligraphy and painting, and is familiar with epigraphy, especially poetry. Her ci works are unique and spread through the ages, and are known as "a unique poet". Her ci can be divided into early stage and late stage. In the early stage, write more about your leisure life, describe your love life and natural scenery, and use beautiful rhymes. Such as "a plum, lotus root fragrance, autumn jade" and so on. Later, I lamented my life experience, recalled my hometown and felt sad. Such as "slow voice, looking for". Her personality is as awe-inspiring as her works. She has both women's Shu Xian and men's fortitude; There are both the cynicism of ordinary people and lofty patriotic feelings. She is not only talented and knowledgeable, but also has lofty ideals and heroic ambitions. She has made many achievements in the field of literature. Among her contemporaries, her poetry, prose and ci theory are outstanding. However, she worked the hardest, achieved the highest success and had the greatest influence on the creation of ci. Her ci has reached the pinnacle in art and is unique in the field of ci, forming her own unique artistic style-"Yi 'an Style". She does not pursue beautiful algae decoration, but extracts expressive "eight tones of common language", expresses her keen feelings about things around her by line drawing, depicts delicate psychological activities, expresses rich and varied emotional experiences, and shapes vivid artistic images. In her poems, sincere feelings and perfect forms are integrated. She developed the graceful school of "endless words and endless feelings" to the peak, thus winning the position of the "elder" of the graceful poet and becoming one of the representatives of the graceful poet. At the same time, the bold style of her poems made her unique in the Song Dynasty, which had a great influence on Xin Qiji, Lu You and later poets. Her outstanding artistic achievements won high praise from later scholars. Later generations thought that her ci "not only looked down on women, but wanted to overwhelm men". She is called "the greatest poetess in the Song Dynasty, the greatest poetess in the history of China literature" and has the reputation of "the first talented woman in history".
