Jianzi Magnolia Tangyayan
Song Dynasty: Ouyang Xiu
An elegant banquet in the painting hall. The faint red rope is the first time to enter. Slow twist and light cage. Jade fingers are delicate, peeling onions.
Profit. Complaining about the moon and worrying about flowers is infinite. Pink is light. Leaning against the warm sandalwood.
Make an appreciative comment
This word describes the image of a singer who indulges in singing and dancing at a banquet. Her piano skills are superb, and her music is sad and touching. Between the lines of the work reveals the author's sympathy for the singer.
The first part pointed out that the banquet was held in a spacious painting gallery, and then we got down to business and wrote about the skills of women playing pipa. Probably the author knows that it is impossible to describe pipa performance beyond Bai Juyi's Pipa, so it is simple and true to simply transplant the sentence "She brushes the strings, twists slowly, sweeps the strings and plucks the strings" in Pipa. It is impossible for people who appreciate the pipa to appreciate the superb skills of the performer at the same time, so the author's eyes naturally fell on the woman's hand and simply moved the self-styled "ten fingers peeling onions", thus she was refurbished into another perfect pipa woman. The effect of this alternative grafting is often more interesting than that of a machine.
In the next film, it is pointed out that the tune played by women is "turning around", and its beauty may not be known today because this tune has been lost. But the reason why the author wants to name this song obviously has his profound meaning, which is fully revealed in the subsequent description. First, there is the bitterness of "complaining about the moon and worrying about the infinite meaning of flowers", and it is also the bitterness of facing the bright moon and flowers. It can be seen that the performance of the female host will inevitably touch the inner pain. She imagined herself as a bright moon, a flower, whose crystal beauty should have been respected and appreciated, but now she has fallen to the humble position of serving wine. The author seems to vaguely feel the change of women's mood, so he has great doubts about why this "pink light" beauty suddenly stopped playing. He didn't reveal the problem, leaving it to the readers to savor. This unexpected ending is the successful design of this word.
