Is Jinse a love poem?
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval. Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring. Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun. A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it. In the Qing Dynasty, Wang Yuyang's Poems on Yu Yang called this poem "a piece of brocade", and Yuan Xingpei and Luo Zongqiang's History of China Literature called this poem "so-called incomprehensible". Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there have been different opinions. Until now, the discussion about the meaning of this poem has been a hot topic in the study of Li Shangyin's untitled poems, and contemporary writer Wang Meng has also involved it. To sum up, there are several representative interpretations of this poem in academic circles at present: (1) Liu Ban in Song Dynasty and Hu Yingli in Ming Dynasty; According to the history of Qing Dynasty, Jinse is the maid name of lonely Chu family, so Jinse is a love poem. (2) In the Southern Song Dynasty, Hu Zai thought that he was writing a kind of poetry called Jinse. (3) In Qing Dynasty, Zhu thought that the poet was mourning for his dead wife Wang, but a mourning poem. (4) In Qing Dynasty, Liang Zhangju and Wu Rulun thought that Li Shangyin was imitating Xuanzong to write political poems. The scholars mentioned above still follow the traditional thinking paradigm of classical literature research and construct the research thinking direction on the utility of reference objects, thus falling into a misunderstanding in the interpretation of this poem, leading to ambiguity in the interpretation process and increasing the difficulty of understanding. The author believes that in order to understand this poem, we must construct the thinking direction on the aesthetic effect of the poem, so as to correctly understand the ideological significance of this poem. As we know, the aesthetics of poetry is a process, and it is a kind of singing and acceptance of the poet's psychological experience. This requires us to understand "what I perceive" from the reader's point of view, not just the main content of this poem. Poetry, as the carrier of the poet's emotion, is not only the artistic infiltration of the poet's subjective emotion, but also the reader's psychological experience and acceptance of the poet's subjective emotion. The poem Jinse should be perceived and understood from the reader's acceptance mentality, which should be the key to our understanding of this poem. When we ponder this poem, we often have an emotion that everyone has in mind, but we just can't say it clearly. Why are there such complicated emotions? This has a lot to do with Li Shangyin's complicated life experience. There are two things that have a great influence on Li Shangyin's life. The first thing is that the dispute between Niu and Li led to his bumpy career. At the age of 0/9, Li Shangyin/Kloc-was appreciated by Ling Hu-chu of Niu Party, and was recommended as a scholar by Ling Hu-tao, the son of Chu, at the age of 25. It should be said that the Niudang is still good to him. But later, Li Shangyin won the appreciation of Wang Maoyuan, the Jingyuan envoy of Li's side, and married his youngest daughter to him as Wang Maoyuan's son-in-law. Therefore, as an enemy of Li Party and government, Niu thinks that Li Shangyin's behavior is ungrateful. Later, Gu Tao became prime minister, and after he came to power, he pushed out Li Shangyin everywhere, making Li Shangyin unhappy in his official career, which showed too many melancholy and sentimental emotions in his poems. The second thing is that my beloved wife died young and her feelings were greatly frustrated. His wife is Wang Maoyuan's daughter, and the relationship between husband and wife is very good, but his wife died unfortunately at the age of 39, which made him very painful. There are other emotional injuries. For example, Li Shangyin had a sad love story with a female Taoist when she was a little fairy. These life experiences made Li Shangyin form a sentimental introverted personality. Psychologically speaking, introverted personality often pays attention to the experience of self-psychological feelings, which has a great influence on Li Shangyin's poetry creation. His poems have obvious subjective tendency and pay attention to the poet's inner experience. This requires us to guide the poet's inner feelings when we understand Li Shangyin's poem, so as to truly understand the connotation of this poem. Let's analyze the ideological content of this poem in detail. It can be said that it is neither difficult nor difficult to understand this poem. It is not difficult to say because the first couplet and the last couplet of this poem are easy to understand. The first couplet means: Jinse, Jinse, how come you have fifty strings? I play the harpsichord to remind me of my lost youth. The first couplet tells us that the core of this poem is "thinking of China". Looking at the tail couplet, the tail couplet actually echoes the first couplet, which means that the beautiful youth has passed and can only be a kind of remembrance, but the ups and downs of youth actually made people feel at a loss at that time. Couplets express a melancholy feeling, and this melancholy feeling is obtained through the poet's memory, so the clue of this poem is memory, isn't it clear? This poem is difficult to understand because the poet carefully chose four allusions that have nothing to do with time and space. Form a group of symbolic images, and convey the poet's spiritual understanding of social life through this image refraction, forming a group of psychological images with special charm. As I said before, the way to understand this poem should be understood from the perspective of readers' perception, and these images should be psychologically educated from the perspective of readers. To understand the poet's life experience with the reader's heart of life, we must first understand these four allusions and their spiritual images. Let's look at Zhuan Xu first: Saint Zhuangzi daydreaming, bewitched by butterflies. The first group of images can be summarized as follows: The allusion of "Zhuang Xiao Sheng Meng" comes from "On Zhuangzi Wuqi", and the original text is like this: "The dream of the former Zhuang Zhou was a butterfly, vivid and self-evident, and I didn't know Zhou Ye. If you feel it, you will feel it. I wonder if Zhou's dream is a butterfly and Zhou's dream is a butterfly and? Zhou and butterfly, there must be points. This is called materialization. " This sentence is about the relativity of Zhuangzi's philosophy. It can be said from Zhuangzi that Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly; From the butterfly's point of view, it can also be said that the butterfly dream is Zhuang Zhou, so things are relatively equal. But Li Shangyin didn't use his philosophical meaning here, but flexibly used this canon to describe Zhuangzi's dream as "Meng Xiao". What psychological effect will this image have on us? Meng Xiao is beautiful, but short-lived. "Mystery" and "dream" will make us feel an illusion of life. In a deeper cultural sense, Li Shangyin was also influenced by Zhuangzi's thought of detachment. There is a short story about Zhuangzi: Zhuangzi's wife died. Instead of being sad, he sang a song, so he was very happy. His friend didn't understand and asked Zhuangzi why. Zhuangzi told him that man is made up of qi and comes from nature. Now that people are dead, return to nature. Shouldn't it be comforting? It can be seen that Zhuangzi's philosophy is detached, and Li Shangyin is obviously influenced by his thoughts to some extent. Look at the allusion of "Wang Qi Xin Di Du Fu" again. The second image can be summarized as: Looking forward to the Emperor Chun Qing. The allusions are as follows: According to the Records of Huayang Country, Wang Di was the King of Shu at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, and his name was Du Yu. He cares about people's sufferings, vigorously develops agriculture and actively fights floods and disasters. There is a man named Master Roshi. Because of his exploits in water control, Wang Di meditated with him and lived in seclusion in the mountains. Unexpectedly, the turtle spirit deteriorated, and the emperor failed to restore the country and died of depression. His soul became a cuckoo, crying in late spring, bleeding in his mouth and sad in his voice. The psychological image that can be perceived from this image is "compassion for others." Li Shangyin transformed this allusion and described Wang Di's heart of rejuvenating the country as "Chun Qing", giving people a feeling of being reluctant to part. The third image is: tears in the sea. Its canon comes from natural history: it means that there is Jiao Ren outside the South China Sea. A group of people who live in the sea like fish can weave, and tears turn into beads when they cry. From the legend of "shark crying for beads", we can feel the "heartbeat" of "crying"; And on a moonlit night, it will naturally arouse the poet's "yearning" for the past. The fourth image is: lantian jade smoke. Lantian is a place name, which is famous for producing jade in Shaanxi Province today. The sunshine here is dazzling, and the jade gas contained in it is rising gradually. This kind of anger seems to exist from a distance, but it doesn't exist from a close distance. I don't know where this code came from. Si Kongtu, a famous literary critic in the Tang Dynasty, once quoted Dai Shulun as saying in Ji Pu: "Poets are in a bad mood, such as the warmth of the blue sky and the production of good jade, which can only be expected but not set, and it is imminent." Thus, the beauty of poetry lies in its "charm". Li Shangyin used this canon to convey a realm of life: "Jade" is a beautiful symbol, but this beauty is like smoke on jade, but it is unattainable. Through the analysis of the two couplets in the middle, the "emotion" mentioned in the poem "Jinse" is some universal and symbolic life emotional images such as "beauty, fleeting, illusory, detachment, heartache, sadness, lingering, beauty beyond reach". In fact, these feelings are a good summary of Li Shangyin's life experience in his later years, which includes both sweet memories of love and sadness and pain of lovelorn love: both infinite feelings for his career and infinite feelings for worrying about his country and people. Through the special combination of these images, the poet has obtained the special aesthetic effect of poetry. This kind of life emotion is not owned by Li Shangyin alone, but is experienced by all of us. Therefore, although this poem is said to be difficult to understand, it is also a household name. Many scholars regard this poem as the masterpiece of Li Shangyin's poetry. Through the above analysis, the author thinks that Li Shangyin's poem Jinse evokes the poet's recollection of the past youth by plucking the strings of Jinse, and emphatically expresses the poet's infinite disappointment with the youth of social life, so Jinse should be a poem that praises things and expresses feelings.
