"Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is the masterpiece of the poet Bai Juyi of the Mid-Tang Dynasty, but the academic community has been arguing about it for a long time. It centered on themes and ideas that generated widespread discussion and differing opinions. However, there are also many important theories, such as "love theory", "anecdotal theory", "irony theory", "sentimentalism", "double-theme theory", "no-theme theory", "pan-theme theory" "wait. In recent years, Mr. Zhang Zhongyu has published a series of articles in academic journals such as "Literary Review" and "Journal of Peking University" to explore the theme of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", and recently published "Research on Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Sorrow".
Further put forward the "theme of euphemism". This article attempts to give a brief review of each view based on further interpretation and textual research of "Chang Gengzi", mainly discussing Mr. Zhang Zhongyu's "euphemisms", and then providing some new evidence and perspectives on the "love theme" , in order to contribute to further research on the theme of "Chang Gengzi". The interpretation of the theme of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" has been continuous from ancient times to the present, and has caused many controversies. Bai Juyi himself should be the first person to intervene in this matter. He said in the poem "Fifteen Volumes of Clumsy Poems Compiled by Giving Yuan, Jiuli, and Twenty Yuan at the end of the volume": "One long regret has a style, and ten harps have a close sound." [3] pointed out that the theme of the poem is related to the customs of men and women. , which became the source of the later "love theme theory".
Chen Hong, who was with Bai Juyi at the same time, said in "The Song of Everlasting Regret": "Because of "The Song of Everlasting Regret", Lotte not only felt his own affairs, but also wanted to punish those special things and stifle those messy footsteps. , hang it up in the future." 4201, that is to say, Bai Juyi wanted to use Li Yang's story to punish the "special things" that caused the disaster and block the root of the disaster, so as to serve as a warning in the future. It should be said that this is the earliest source of fables, and it has become one of the main arguments for contemporary scholars on the theme of fables. In the late Tang Dynasty, Huang Tao's "Collection of Huang Yuxi", Volume Seven Clouds.
It can be seen that in the late Tang Dynasty, like Li Kan, many people denounced Bai Juyi's poetry as "obscene words" and regretted that "they cannot use it to rule it." Huang Tao's reversal of Bai Juyi's verdict reflects the late Tang Dynasty's criticism of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" from the perspective of Confucian political ethics, and always required writers to break the code and irony of time. Although it is believed that it lacks the social and political function of "prison irony", it affirms the artistry of the poem. But if a car were like water, it would be a cloud.
