Inlaid harp
Li shangyin
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a sage, was bewitched by butterflies and expected the emperor Chun Qing to entrust Du Fu.
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.
There are always different opinions on the theme of Jinse, such as love, mourning, self-injury and political implication. Let's not talk about these for the time being. Let's talk about poetry first, and talk about the image beauty of Jinse.
Generally speaking, it is very important to understand the theme of a poem, but most of Li Shangyin's poems are ambiguous. Like other untitled poems, Jinse is self-evident. When I first read this poem, I knew nothing about allusions such as "Fifty stringed instruments", "Tears become pearls" and "lantian jade", but I still felt the beauty of the poem. After reading it, the aftertaste is meaningful and lingering. Most poems are suitable for reading, and their rhythm has a great influence on poetry. Without reading, it is difficult to feel the artistic conception of poetry and express your feelings. This is the case with Li Bai's Difficult Road to Shu and Du Fu's Car Shop, which makes people feel powerful, ups and downs, and images and artistic conception also appear here. But this poem is suitable for humming, and the ending is almost silent, which makes people ponder their own frustrations alone, with vague feelings and seemingly no feelings, as if they have entered a detached world, like a dream, like a dream. In fact, this is the charm of poetry. What seems to be unintentionally expressed, but inadvertently pieced together an image, literally giving people a scattered feeling. In particular, the couplets of chin and abdomen only list a few allusions, and these allusions are not related in content, reflecting a colorful psychedelic world as a whole, which makes people unconsciously indulge in it.
Some poems focus on understanding and analysis, but this poem focuses on feeling, feeling the image of the poem, which is a bit like music. Jinse is like a beautiful music, which makes people forget after listening to it.
The first couplet "I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, each with a youthful interval." "Brocade" echoes "China Year" from a distance, reflecting the poet's sadness in his later years, expressing his sadness about his life experience and his nostalgia for China Year. The word "for no reason" has a strange and resentful meaning, giving people a very deep feeling, thus laying the atmosphere of poetry. Historical Records. "amenorrhea": "Emperor Tai ordered Motome to play the 50-stringed piano, which made him sad. The emperor couldn't stop, so he broke the harp into twenty-five strings. " Li Shangyin almost has the meaning of feeling sorry for himself, and uses this code to express his grief one by one. The following two couplet "Saint Zhuangzi is daydreaming, bewitch butterflies, look at the emperor, cuckoo. Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathe their jade to the sun. " Several fairy tales and a series of fantastic words bring readers into an ethereal dream world. Legendary figures, beautiful insects and birds, touching stories, and the use of words such as "dream", "fascination", "trust", "tears" and "smoke" have created a fantastic world, which makes people unconsciously fall into it and can't help being crazy. Just like people are fascinated, then "a moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it." It also reveals this dream world, which makes people wake up like a dream, infatuated, infatuated and very disappointed.
Poetry is the precipitation after pain. Scholars at that time were imprisoned by feudal ethics, but they were also unconscious. People's pursuit of happiness and freedom is contradictory and painful, and this kind of pain also confuses them. This poem also gives people a feeling of confusion. In this environment, while people are pursuing freedom, love and happiness, they also feel guilty about the rebellion of feudal ethics. When they are afraid or unable to pursue, they are in pain, so people with rich feelings always live in contradiction and pain. In this kind of contradiction and pain, people often show a kind of helplessness of "mourning without hurting, complaining without anger". In this poem, it is not difficult for us to understand the poet's inner pain, and when this pain is expressed in gorgeous language, we will feel the sadness in our bones. Glory is dull, and pain is helpless. In this helpless pain, many people often take a joking attitude towards the writing of poems by the Dance Academy, but Li Shangyin does not follow it, which shows that Li is obsessed with guarding his own soul and is unwilling to despise beautiful things. Because of this, we can always vaguely experience some kind of beauty from Li Shangyin's poems, although this beauty is hazy and even bitter.
Loneliness makes people sublime, and pain makes poetry so beautiful. It is often morbid to make people feel profound beauty, and it is easier to touch people's souls and arouse people's yearning for beauty.
Li Shangyin was unhappy all his life. Faced with career, love, fame and fortune, he was always contradictory, and it was difficult to give up. His personality was a little weak and indisputable, so it was difficult to make a war decision. This character makes Li Shangyin easy to indulge in love and taste the ups and downs of life in the love nest. However, this made Li Shangyin unable to display his talents, so Li Shangyin deeply felt the hardships of life. "Since ancient times, talents and life have been hindered." He is always in confusion, contradiction and pain, and Li's poems give people a feeling of confusion, with a heavy element of "mystery". From Li's poems, it is not difficult to see that poets advocate and cherish love very much. The sad style in the poem is probably the author's understanding and obsession with love, and it is unlikely to be a sigh of politics and official career. Li's "Jinse" and several "Untitled Poems" also feel like love poems, and at the same time, they feel love and integrate their feelings about life.
There have always been many speculations about Li's feelings and personality. It is not difficult to see from Li's poems that Li Shangyin seems to have an unforgettable and obscure feeling, which is always in the poet's heart and unforgettable. Many comments always talk about the emotional problems between Shi Li and his wife. I don't think so. The feelings of husband and wife can't be so obscure, but Shi Li's emotional expression is vague and has been vague. He wants to say goodbye. Look at these poems: "Although my body doesn't have bright phoenix wings, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn." "You said you would come, but you didn't come. You left me no trace except the moonlight on your tower at five o'clock." "Liulang hates Pengshanyuan, you are on the other side, separated by ten thousand peaks." "Once, a great lady favored a poor young man from behind the screen, and Mi Fei stayed on the pillow, Wei." The emotional expression of these poems is very obscure, almost all of them are related to the night, which is suspected of cheating. "Love is more than flowers", and the ratio between "love" and "flowers" is very subtle, with feelings of parting and love.
Although Li's poems are obscure, they are not obscene. For example, Jia's admiration for Han Shou and Zhen Fei's yearning for Cao Zhi, although contrary to etiquette, are fascinating and infatuated.
Under the bondage of feudal ethics, people have no right to pursue love. Strong and abnormal love is common. In this environment, free and unrestrained love is impossible. In this suffocating and imprisoned feudal building, it is difficult for an emotional but fragile poet to develop healthily, so the natural and true feelings in human nature will touch Li Shangyin's sensitive nerves more deeply and condense into his inner pain forever. In a sense, Li Shangyin and his poems are a small flower that opens in a dark gap under the cage of feudal architecture. Although this little flower is morbid, it is still very poor, very sad!
