Appreciation and translation of "The King of Autumn"

original text

When you are sad, you pour your own wine, and when you look at the sword, your tears are deep.

Huang Jintai is ashamed of his lack of intimate friends [2], and the jasper tune will be good.

Ten thousand leaves autumn wind lonely museum dream, Yi Deng night rain hometown heart.

Last night, the phoenix tree rained in front of the court, and it rustled into the short collar.

translate

When sorrow is strong, take the wine and pour it yourself. When you shine your sword, you won't feel deep tears. Huang Jintai is still ashamed of her lack of intimate friends, and Jasper Song will sigh her good voice. A lonely pavilion in the autumn wind is hard to dream, and a faint lamp in the night rain evokes homesickness. Last night, the phoenix tree in front of the courtyard murmured, and the rustling cold blew into my short skirt.

Creation background

Wang's name is Qing Hui (Zhao Yi is the name of a female official in the palace). At the end of the Song Dynasty, offering sacrifices to the Imperial Palace means thanking Empress Dowager Cixi and the king by playing the piano. After the demise of the Song Dynasty, they were taken to Yan State with Wang for more than ten years. Later, they begged the Taoist priest to return to the south. During this period, Wang and Wang "harmoniously played the piano and the book" (Wang Qinghui's preface to delivering water to Wu Poetry), and many poems sang in chorus. Chronicle of Song Poetry contains four poems by Wang Qinghui and Wang Yuanliang. In this poem, Wang Yuanliang wrote down his feelings about autumn and expressed his painful feelings when he returned to his hometown.

works appreciation

Silence is the greatest sorrow. Xin Qiji's "Ugly Slave" has such a sentence: "Now I know the taste of sadness. I want to say that I want to take a break, but I say" this is a cool autumn ",which is to write my sadness to the extreme. This method is also adopted at the beginning of Wang Yuanli's poems. Among them, "when you are worried" is always mentioned. The following is divided into pouring wine, carrying a lamp, looking at the sword and crying. Poetry is no longer sad, but you are sad. In this place, Xin speaks with words and Wang speaks with deeds, which is exactly the same. In addition, the second sentence uses the sentence in Xin Qiji's "Broken Array", which vividly reproduces the image of a man with lofty ideals who has no way to serve the country. It's just that this poem uses the word "deep tears", which shows the psychological state of a court musician after the national subjugation, and can't be compared with that of Xin Qiji.

The connection between chin and neck, one sighs for few bosom friends, and the other expresses hometown feelings, should not only answer questions, but also show that only Wang can be cited as a bosom friend, and also show the author's creative intention of hiding the pain of national subjugation with hometown thought. According to Shanggu County Records, Huang Jintai is located 18 miles southeast of Yixian County, Hebei Province, and Yan Zhaowang put his daughter on it to prolong the world, so it was named after this. In addition, the fourth and fifth volumes of Yuefu Poetry quoted Yuan Yue's Jasper Singer, which was also written by King Runan of Song Dynasty. Jasper, the name of the concubine of King Runan. The first sentence of the couplet said that there was a golden platform, and the second sentence said that the song of Jasper was misused. It repeatedly stated not only the lonely situation and sad feelings of the author and Wang Qinghui in the Yuan Dynasty, but also their loyalty and integrity, and they did not associate with the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty and the giants of the Song Dynasty. Necklace couplets first write "Wanye" trembling in the autumn wind to set off other dreams, and then set off the rest with lonely lights and rainy nights-naturally, the "hometown heart" here still expresses the memory of the Song Dynasty. In writing, the first two sentences express feelings directly with allusions, and the last two sentences contrast rural hearts with environment. Technical improvement has achieved good results.

The end of the couplet was deliberately put aside, and it was changed from lyricism to scenery writing. It uses the rain and vitality of the phoenix tree to form a sad mood, and designs a deep echo of nature for the feelings that have been brewed in the above article, thus making the author's "thick" sorrow full of air conditioning and encroaching on the skin.

Li Yalin's "Hushan Secret" said: "Wu's" Course Draft "records his grief, pain and distress of national subjugation. Slightly obvious, hidden and obvious, sad without complaining, singing bullying and mourning, more than crying. " "Emblem" and "wet", hidden and obvious, are opposites, and only (number) can unify them harmoniously and form its own unique artistic style. As far as this poem is concerned, some of them, such as "Little Companion", "Empty Sound Protection", "Lonely Pavilion Dream" and "Hometown Heart", can be said to have been badly sung by literati for thousands of years, so people may mistake them for idle works-this is the "obvious" and "obvious" side of this poem. However, if we investigate further, if Wang Yuan is willing to attach himself to the upstart of the Yuan Dynasty, Huang Jintai will not be far away, and his hometown will be honored. From this, it can be concluded that the sigh of bosom friend and the thought of hometown in this poem can never be understood in the usual sense-this is the "hidden" and "subtle" side of this poem.
