"The beauty monster is idle, and she takes the mulberry road." This is people and places. This role is a beautiful girl with gorgeous appearance and dignified personality. The location is the "fork in the road", which is the fork in the road. She is picking mulberry. The "fork road" is a place with many pedestrians, paving the way for the dumping of "walkers" and "walkers" below. "Soft strips are in Ran Ran, and leaves are falling." Immediately after "picking mulberry", the tender mulberry branches shook gently and the picked mulberry leaves fluttered. What is written here is mulberry trees, but what is written is the graceful movements of beautiful women picking mulberry trees. The description of the scenery plays a role in setting off the characters.
"Busy sleeve watch hand, hao about gold ring on the wrist. She wears a sparrow gold hairpin on her head and an emerald green jade on her waist. Pearls meet jade, but corals meet wood. Luo Yi floats with the wind and returns lightly with the wind. Looking at the glory in the distance, the whistling is like the sky. "Mainly write beauty clothes, also write expressions. The word "busy sleeve" is a continuation of the word "soft strip", and it is inevitable that beautiful women will wear sleeves when picking mulberry. You can only see white hands when you pull your sleeves. In order to pick mulberries, Su Yan's hand must be held high, so that you can see the white and shiny wrist wearing a gold bracelet. Good choice of words, the second time in order. Because it is picking mulberry, I wrote the beauty's hands and wrists first, then the head and waist, with a bird-shaped gold hairpin on her head and jade hanging on her waist. She is wearing pearls, green pearls and red corals. The above words about the decorations on beautiful women are mostly static descriptions. The sentence "Luo Yi" is a dynamic description of a beautiful woman's thin silk blouse, and her skirt flutters with the wind. Combine static and dynamic clothes to describe beautiful women, and write their graceful figure and light gait. The image is very clear. "Look around" two sentences, with implicit words, outline the beautiful expression. Beauty's eyes and eyes leave charming luster, and the breath exhaled when whistling is as fragrant as orchids. People feel as if they saw that person and heard his voice. Can you not be fooled? So "pedestrians use the rest to drive, and the rest forget to eat." People who walk on the road stop when they see a beautiful woman, while people who rest forget to eat when they see a beautiful woman, and describe her beauty from the side. It should be pointed out that Cao Zhi's description was obviously influenced by Shang Mo Sang written by Han Yuefu. Mulberry on the Stranger describes the beauty of Luo Fu in this way: "Luo Fu likes to raise silkworms and pick mulberry in the south corner of the city. Moss is a cage system and cassia twig is a cage hook. There is a bun on the head and a bright moon in the ear. Qi is the lower skirt and Qi is the upper skirt. When Monkey saw Luo Fu, he put it on his shoulder and smoothed his moustache. When the teenager saw Luo Fu, he took off his hat and hung his head. The tiller forgot to plow, and the hoe forgot to hoe. When they came to complain about each other, they sat and watched Luo Fu. " This is a description of Luo Fu's beauty, not directly describing her appearance, but describing the beauty of the utensils (cages and hooks) she used and the clothes (Japanese bun, bright moon beads, lower skirt and upper curtain), as well as the beauty of the walkers, teenagers, cultivators and hoes after seeing Luo Fu. Compared with the descriptions in Beauty, these descriptions are basically the same in content, but different in writing, which shows some changes and developments in Cao Zhi's poems.
"May I ask a woman to live in peace? It's at the southern end of the city. Brothel is short cut, and the high gate is closed. " Explain the beauty's residence and point out her noble family. Beauty lives in a tall building near South Road. "Brothel", "Hall of Fame" and "Respect for Vulgarity" show that she is not the daughter of ordinary people, but a good family. "Glory is shining, who doesn't want to make faces?" The beauty of a beautiful woman is like the morning sunshine. Who doesn't love her beauty? The beauty of the previous sentence can be combined with the first half; The next sentence says that no one can be fooled, which leads to the following. It is a metaphor for the poet's own identity and talent to write about the noble family and beautiful face of beautiful women here. He can't help but sigh that heroes are useless because they have talent but have no chance to display it.
"The media camp? Why not send a bride price in time to set off the engagement? A girl must love a noble person, but a virtuous man is hard to find. Everyone was shocked and knew what he thought. " What did the matchmaker do? Why not send the dowry in time and make an engagement? The poet's criticism of the matchmaker reflects his inner injustice. It is an objective reason that the matchmaker doesn't come to hire. And beautiful women love virtuous people, so it is really difficult to find a virtuous husband. This is the subjective reason of beauty. This is a metaphor for people who have lofty ideals, but it is difficult to achieve them. The ideal of a beautiful woman is beyond ordinary people's understanding, but there is a lot of noise and discussion, and they don't know what kind of person she likes. This is a metaphor that ordinary people don't understand the ideals of people with lofty ideals. "In the prime of my life, I was in a room and I sighed in the middle of the night." The beauty was in the prime of her life, but she lived alone in the boudoir. She was so sad and angry that she couldn't sleep at night and let out a long sigh. This is a metaphor for the frustration of people with lofty ideals who have no talent.
Contrast is used throughout this poem, which is a traditional technique in ancient Chinese poetry and is often used in The Book of Songs and Songs of the South. "Beauty" uses peerless beauty as a metaphor for people with lofty ideals and ambitions, and beauty as a metaphor for people who don't get married. Implicit and euphemistic, meaningful. In fact, the man with lofty ideals mentioned by the beauty is Cao Zhi himself.
cosmetics
The beautiful and quiet girl is busy at the fork of the country road.
Ran Ran is full of soft stripes and leaves are falling.
The rolled-up sleeves are clearly visible in her hands, and a gold bracelet is worn on her white wrist.
She wears a sparrow gold hairpin on her head and an emerald green jade on her waist.
The pearls are shining, and corals and pearls are interspersed.
Silk rollers dance in the spring breeze, and thin skirts spin in the wind.
Her look back left a charming light, and the smell of her whistle was like the smell of orchids.
Everyone on the road stopped and refused to go away, and the rest were stupid enough to forget to eat.
Someone asked where the girl was, and her family lived at the south gate of the city.
The green painted tower is on the road, and two doors are tied to the big house.
The girl's face is like the morning sun. Who doesn't love her moving face?
What did the matchmaker do? Why not send a bride price in time to set off the engagement?
A girl must love a noble person, but a virtuous man is hard to find.
To put it bluntly, how do you know what kind of person she is looking for?
Youth bloomed in the boudoir, and in the middle of the night came the voice of her sigh.
