The original text of Cao Zhi's love poems
Cloudy and sunny, the breeze blows my clothes. Fish swim in waterfalls, birds fly in the sky, noisy tourists and pedestrians, they can't go back. First frost, it's the millennium? The traveler sighed and left, and the singer was generous and sad.
Translation of Cao Zhi's Love Poems
Although the clouds covered the sun, the cool wind blew my clothes all the way. Fish on the roadside dive deep into the green water, and birds in the sky cling to the blue sky. Away from my family, I live far away from home because of hard labor. It was freezing when I left last year, and now I'm back with dew and frost. I sang "Xiaomi is gone" and lamented that you sang "Decline" to welcome me back to my hometown. It makes me sad to treat my relatives as guests, and my heart is full of sadness.
Appreciation of Cao Zhi's Love Poems
Cao Zhi's creation is divided into two periods in 220 years (twenty-five years of Jian 'an). His early poems mainly praised his ideals and ambitions, filled with optimism and romance, and full of confidence in the future, while his later poems mainly expressed the grief and indignation caused by the contradiction between ideals and reality.
His poems not only reflect the elegance of The Book of Songs, but also the profundity and strangeness of The Songs of the South, which not only inherits the brushwork of Han Yuefu to reflect reality, but also retains the warm and sad artistic conception of Nineteen Ancient Poems. Cao Zhi's poetry has its own distinctive and unique style, which has completed the transformation from Yuefu folk songs to literati poems.
The words in this poem are natural and delicate, the syllables are beautiful and sonorous, and the images are vivid, shocking and touching. Two sentences in the poem, "fish and dive, fly to the blue sky, fly to the blue sky", are famous sentences that readers love to see and hear through the ages, with bright colors, wide boundaries, accurate words and flying images.
The capture of fish and bird images, the spatial scope of waterfalls and blue sky, and the dynamic and static contrast between fish "diving" and bird "thinness" have all reached the realm of natural collection and no trace in poetic refinement.
The fish swam safely in the bath water, and Wuer flew freely outside the sky. The picture of safety, freedom and smoothness not only reflects the tragic fate of involuntary servants, but also reflects the author's eager understanding of freedom and liberation in the political adversity that is easy to be accused. The words "latent" and "thin" can best show the author's intention in refining words and meanings.
Hidden characters belong to silent rhyme, and the sound is light and thin, which accords with the expression of fish's peace and calmness. The word "thin" belongs to the entering tone, and its voice is short and powerful. It looks like a bird flying high in the blue sky, and the momentum of "flying into the sky" is just around the corner. The clever use of these two verbs fully shows the poet's keen observation and accurate artistic expression, which is called "poetic eye"
