According to incomplete statistics, Li Qingzhao used the word "thin" as many as forty or fifty sentences in his poems. Such as: "Recalling the Phoenix Tower Blowing": The newcomer is thin, not dry wine, not sad autumn. Drunken flower songs: West wind shutter, people are thinner than yellow flowers. Like a Dream: Do you know, do you know, it should be green, fat, red and thin. "Little crimson lips": Get up and scratch your head. Meiying has a thin partition window.
Of course, this is not necessarily the case, because poetry is generally not realistic, mainly "freehand brushwork." Freehand brushwork is a prominent feature of poetry creation, that is to say, the images written in the works can not be understood according to the actual situation, but can only be appreciated abstractly through the images written, just like "a thousand miles in Jiangling, a thousand miles in a day". Can you travel by boat? It's just that the poet Li Bai thinks that the ship is really flying down, so he exaggerates it.
Then, Li Qingzhao's "thinness" is not necessarily a thin figure, but she repeatedly said that there must be a reason.
Li Qingzhao is a representative figure of graceful and restrained ci school and is known as "the first talented woman in history". Life before marriage is very comfortable. After marriage, Zhao Mingcheng and her husband devoted themselves to the collection and arrangement of calligraphy, painting and inscriptions. The couple love each other and their love life is very happy. Since the Jin people occupied the Central Plains, Li Qingzhao and his wife have been living with refugees in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wandering in a different place, the loss of stone calligraphy and painting collected for many years, and the death of her husband Zhao Mingcheng all brought her a heavy blow and great pain. On the way to escape, I went to Wujiang River, thinking of Xiang Yu who committed suicide in Liu Bang's besieged city, and wrote the famous "Summer quatrains".
Li Qingzhao actively advocated the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains, but the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent, did not think about resisting gold, only cared about a corner of peace, and dragged on an ignoble existence, which made Li Qingzhao's hopes come to nothing. In her later years, Li Qingzhao, who experienced the death of her country and her husband, also worked hard to compile The Story of the Stone, fulfilling her husband's unfinished wish.
Conclusion: We can't see whether Li Qingzhao, who has been away from home for many years, is "thinner than Huang Hua" because of her life experience and later works. But it is not difficult to imagine that she is helpless, helpless, poor and miserable, and her tortured heart is no longer "thin" in the process of migration.
Finally, how tragic it is to die alone in a foreign land in the south of the Yangtze River with a broken heart. This is really like what she wrote in Slow Sound.
