Li Yannian's Translation of Song of Beauty and Appreciation of Ancient Poetry

Li Yannian's Song of Beauty in Han Dynasty

There are beautiful women in the north, and they are peerless and independent.

Take care of the city first, then the country.

It's best not to know the whole city and country? Beauty is rare again!

Precautions:

C: Look around.

Ning: No.

Translation 1:

There is a beautiful young woman in the north, whose beauty and intelligence are unparalleled in the world. One look at the whole city will be flooded, and another look at the whole country will be overturned. Why not know her charm? Such a beautiful woman is really hard to find.

Translation 2:

There is a beautiful woman in the north, elegant and lonely. As long as she looks at the foot soldiers guarding the city wall, she can make them abandon their weapons and the city wall falls; If you do another "eye turn" to the person who came to earth, the disaster of national subjugation and extinction will befall him! But then the next sentence is followed by another layer? Don't lose the chance to get a beautiful woman, even if you are beautiful and fall in love with your country-beauty is a once-in-a-lifetime thing after all!

Appreciate:

Li Yannian's songs have three characteristics.

First, the language is exaggerated and the propaganda is desirable. The poet praised chinese odyssey, a beautiful woman, so beautiful that one look at her will topple the city-state, and another look at the country will perish. The theory of "beauty subjugates the country" was first seen in the Book of Songs: "A philosopher makes a city, and a philosopher makes a woman a city", saying that men have talent to build a country and women have talent to subjugate the country, aiming at satirizing Zhou Youwang's luck and beauty. Since then, "the whole city" and "the whole country" have become synonymous with stunning beauty. In Song of Li Yannian, the poet exaggerates and alarmists, but it is not to show the king or learn from the past, but to do the opposite, to show the beauty of a beautiful woman with its great charm, thus arousing the king's thinking about beauty.

Second, the feelings are sincere and sincere, overflowing with poems. The poem "Song of Li Yannian" is sincere except that "its words are blurted out without makeup". The beautiful woman that Li Yannian sang is her own sister. Whether out of deep love for her sister and hope for a brilliant future, or out of self-interest, the praise expressed in her poems is eager. In several short poems, the words "beautiful city" and "country" appear twice, and the theme of recommending beauty is very distinct. Let's talk about this beauty first, then talk about the amazing charm of the beauty, and then earnestly plead with the king: don't you know that this beautiful woman with good looks is hard to come by once she misses it! The intention and fervent feelings of boxing were fully expressed in one chant and three sighs, which produced a fresh appeal and touched the heartstrings of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Third, simplicity is better than complexity. Chinese painting takes ink as its color, with few colors. But this single ink color can change colorful colors in the connoisseur's mind. Like Qi Baishi's paintings, there are many blanks, but blanks can make people imagine infinite richness. "Song of Li Yannian" only praises the beauty without making a specific description, which is bound to make the image of the beauty a mysterious and attractive blank, thus arousing the poet's longing, imagination and yearning for her. At that time, the image of the first beauty in the world would be conjured up in the mind of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Poetry readers in later generations can imagine the stunning beauty in their hearts according to their own aesthetic ideals, historical knowledge and unique psychological quality. In ancient Chinese poems praising beautiful women, there are many detailed sentences, such as "be soft, skin coagulated" and so on. At the same time, there are many excellent articles that win by profiling. For example, in The Book of Songs Nan Zhou Guanluo, the description of a woman's appearance is only one sentence, "My Fair Lady, Gentleman's Delightfulness", and the man's bitter yearning for her, passionate pursuit and joy after the combination are strongly colored, thus showing the beauty and loveliness of a woman. Obviously, Song of Li Yannian was also won by this artistic technique.
