Original text
Like a dream order ①
Ten thousand people in the dome of the house are drunk ② , the star shadows are crumbling, returning to the dream is separated by the Wolf River, and is shattered by the sound of the river ③ . Still sleeping, still sleeping, the solution is tasteless when I wake up④.
Notes
① Like a Dream Ling: It is said to be a self-made song by Zhuangzong of the later Tang Dynasty. It contains the sentence "Like a dream, like a dream, the moon is falling and the flowers and smoke are heavy", so it was renamed.
② Qionglu: a circular felt tent.
③ Two sentences about returning to the dream: The hometown is far away from the Lang River, so the dream of returning home cannot be fulfilled. Even if I can return to my dream, the sound of the river throughout the night will wake me up again. Wolf River: Bailang River, now Daling River, is in the west of Liaoning Province.
④Explanation: I know.
Vernacular translation
In the tens of thousands of marching tents, the soldiers were singing and drinking, drunk, and the stars in the sky were swaying, and the starry sky seemed to be crumbling. The Wolf River blocks me, and my dream of going home is shattered by the sound of the surging river. Close your eyes and let the dream continue. I know that when you wake up from the dream, you will be even more bored.
Appreciation
The lyrics use two different objects, the dome and the star shadow, as the presentation background in two different directions in the universe, and use the two different states of sleeping and waking to pass through the characters. Personal experience reveals emotions. The scenery and intercession are broad and deep.
When Wang Guowei discussed the differences between poetry and lyrics, he once proposed that "the realm of poetry is broad and the words of poetry are long", he also proposed that "the bright moon shines on the snow", "the river flows day and night", "the bright moon hangs in the sky" and " "The sun sets over the long river", this realm is truly spectacular through the ages. Looking for words, the only one is Nalanxingde Saishang's work.
In this world, there are always people who wake up alone at night, with the loneliness of sitting alone on a cliff. Even if the scenery outside the Great Wall is wonderful and the scenery of the retinue is not equal to the longing for my hometown in my heart.
Novalis said that poetry is an infinite nostalgia for home. Rong Ruo's Que word is a very appropriate comment. In fact, it's not just Rong Ruo. The feeling of leaving home and the longing for hometown is simply a way of thinking of ancient literati, the main theme in their heads. The pain and suffering made the literati and poets create such shocking artistic conceptions of "parting from life and death".
At that time, people were too weak and lacked the ability to gallop. If they wanted to travel, they had to pack themselves in layers like luggage. Parting is therefore momentous. Along the way, I was blocked by mountains and farther and farther away from my warm hut. I walked day and night and slept in the open, but the future was endless. I didn't know when I would reach my destination, and I might be knocked down by unexpected difficulties and dangers at any time.
Amidst all the anxiety, I realized that I was so small in front of heaven and earth. This kind of fear is not something that people who travel around the world on planes and trains can imagine. The pain of returning to my dream across the Lang River, but being shattered by the sound of the river, is simply not worth mentioning in the eyes of modern people who travel through several countries in one day.
