Idiom allusions:
In the 10th year of Yuanhe (AD 8 15), Prime Minister Wu was killed by Wang Chengzong and Li Shidao. At noon that day, Prince Zuo Zanshan, doctors (officials of the prince) and Bai Juyi wrote to the emperor, requesting that the murderer be arrested and brought to justice. Tang Xianzong listened to the slanderers of Li Jifu, a traitor, and demoted Bai Juyi to Jiangzhou (also known as Xunyang, now Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province), which is four thousand miles away from the capital, as Sima.
Jiangzhou faces the Yangtze River in the north and Lushan Mountain in the south. Bai Juyi's Sima residence, just outside Jiangzhou Xiguo Gate, near Penpukou, is located in a remote and cold place with low humidity, which makes Bai Juyi often feel depressed. He often misses Yuan Zhen, a good friend of Chang 'an and Tongzhou (now Daxian County, Sichuan Province). I often write poems and compositions to relieve my troubles.
The following autumn, Yuan Zhen, a friend whom Bai Juyi often misses, suddenly came to Jiangzhou. Bai Juyi is very happy to see his long-lost friend. But Yuan Zhen was too busy to stay long and set sail that night. Bai Juyi and his younger brother Bai Xingjian went to Pukou to send Yuan Zhen aboard and bid farewell at the bow. Facing the clear autumn in Leng Yue, old friends are thousands of miles apart.
Bai Juyi feels colder when he is drunk. Bai Juyi looked up at the bright moon and said goodbye to Yuan Zhen. When I was about to disembark, I suddenly heard the sound of pipa on the river, which attracted Bai Juyi at once.
He listened carefully, and it took him a long time to know who the boatman was: "Who was playing the pipa just now? Playing so well is really a famous fingering. " The boatman replied, "It's Pei Xingnv, the wife of Yoichiro Kyoto."
When Bai Juyi met Pei Xingnv with gray hair and haggard face and asked her how she came to Jiangzhou, Pei Xingnv replied bitterly that she played the pipa very well when she was young and was later called to play in the palace. As she grew older, she was humiliated and neglected and forced to live in a foreign land.
Bai Juyi thought his suggestion was taboo, his official was demoted to other places, and his experience was as sad as Pei Xing's daughter. He couldn't help crying and soaked his blue shirt.
After returning to China, Pei Xing's miserable words and pipa sound lingered in his ears. He excitedly wrote a short essay and began to write his famous 6 12-word long short sentence Pipa Trip. After completing the first draft, it was revised several times and finally became a famous article.
When Pipaxing narrated his meeting with Pei Xingnv and asked her to play two kinds of music, he wrote these two sentences: "The big string hummed like rain, and the small string whispered like a secret" (cut: Tong Qian). Pipa has four strings, and the largest string is the thickest, also called the old string.
Noisy: loud; Minor chord: that is, minor chord, also called minor chord. The general idea of these two poems is: Pei Xingnv plays "Nishang" and "Liu Yao" first, and the sound made by the old string is so thick and heavy, like a rainstorm; And that string is so subtle and urgent, just like talking in private, so round and crisp.
