On Li Qingzhao's "Slow Voice"

Li Qingzhao's Slow Voice and Slow Language is the representative work of Li Qingzhao, a poetess in Song Dynasty. In the second year of Jingkang, the poet's quiet and comfortable boudoir life was broken by Jin people riding south. In particular, the death of her husband and the decline of her family made Li Qingzhao feel infinite grief. So, I was depressed, so I did as I said. I wrote the word "slow voice" with my own blood and tears. Li Qingzhao, a poet, truly expressed her desolate and lonely situation and miserable mood in her later years. The full text is as follows:

Looking for it, it's lonely and miserable. It's the hardest to stop breathing when it's warm and cold. Three glasses and two glasses of wine, how can you beat him? It's late and urgent! Guo Yan is very sad, but this is an old acquaintance. Yellow flowers were piled all over the floor, withered and damaged. Who can pick them now? Looking out the window, how can a person be dark? Indus is drizzling, and at dusk, it is falling. This time, what a sad sentence?

The first three sentences describe the poet's public anxiety. And how can such a sad mood be expressed? In ci, the poet used seven pairs of overlapping words in succession, which showed his restless mental state and sad mood in his wandering life. "Looking for it, it is cold and clear, and it is terrible." The first of these three sentences is action. At first, the lyricist was looking for something, but nothing was said. In this way, the poet left the imagination space for readers and created the aesthetic realm of ci, thus attracting readers to "search" and enter the poet's inner world. The second sentence describes the environment. However, this "cold and clear" environment is not the expression of the poet's mood when he is searching hard and finding nothing. In China's ancient poems, "all scenery words are sentimental words." The third sentence directly writes out the inner sadness and sorrow at this moment. Judging from the whole word, these three sentences not only played a general role, but also showed the poet's inner sadness, which laid the emotional tone for the whole word.

"When it is warm and cold, it is the most difficult to rest." "Warm and cold" means warm and cold, which means "cold and hot". Explain that this word was written in the early morning of autumn, which means "Han Xiao is still heavy, and the autumn wind is raining." Here is a description of the environment, followed by "the most difficult to rest", indicating that a person is old and weak, and it is difficult to recuperate in such an environment. In fact, this is superficial. If we contact Li Qingzhao's living conditions and social environment at that time, we can feel that Li Qingzhao's physical inadaptability to the changes in the natural environment implies a changeable political environment that she could not cope with. It is really in "sadness" that "sadness comes from it and can't be broken", so we have to drown our sorrows by drinking.

"Three glasses and two glasses of wine, how can you beat him? You're late?" At night, the sad poet couldn't sleep, so he had to drown his sorrows in wine. However, these three glasses and two light wines can't resist the cold of autumn wind in the evening. "Come late and go in a hurry" is also a clear description of the natural environment, but it actually implies a bad political climate. Perhaps it means that the poet encountered such a political environment in his later years, the years of drift from place to place, the hardships of life, and the mental pain, all of which accumulated in his heart. There is really bitterness and misfortune of "raising a glass to eliminate sorrow". "A goose plucks its hair, but it hurts, so it is an old friend who knows each other." "Wild Goose" is the autumn goose of Guide. When the poet was sad, a flock of geese were flying to the south in the sky. Isn't this group of geese what we used to see in the north? Throughout Li Qingzhao's life, these three sentences have multiple meanings. First of all, Li Qingzhao connects the past and the present with the image of geese in her poems, which shows that her happiness in her previous life was beautiful, but today she is depressed and sad. For example, she wrote in "A Plum Branch": "Who sent the brocade book? When it comes back, the moon is full of the West Building. " Nowadays, "I am sad, the geese pluck their feathers", even though "I am too ambitious to send thousands of worries" (Nian Nujiao). This further highlights Li Qingzhao's loneliness after her husband's death. Secondly, at this time, Li Qingzhao returned to the south because of the country's destruction, and the geese flew south because of the cold, which produced the feeling that "we are both unhappy-to the end of the day". Thirdly, nowadays, people are displaced and homeless, and poets rely on geese flying from south to north to express their homesickness.

The next picture was transferred from high altitude to our own yard in autumn. "Yellow flowers are piled all over the floor, withered and damaged. Who can take them off now? " The garden is full of chrysanthemums. It is really autumn. "Yellow flowers are piled all over the ground" means chrysanthemums are in full bloom. "haggard" means that you are haggard and emaciated because of sadness. This does not mean that chrysanthemums wither. "Who can pick it now" is a rhetorical question, which not only shows that because of her deep sadness, even though chrysanthemums have blossomed all over the floor, she is not in the mood to appreciate them, but also shows that Li Qingzhao describes people with flowers, and women are like flowers! However, the poet used irony to compare his aging and misfortune with the prosperity of chrysanthemums.

"Look out the window, why are you alone?" A word "shou" and a word "independence" vividly depict an old and weak figure. This implies Li Qingzhao's old and lonely sad situation. That's how to live. "Sheng" is an auxiliary word. "How to live alone in the dark" is how to keep it dark. This sentence of Li Qingzhao is based on this feeling to imply her miserable and melancholy mood. "The phoenix tree is even more embarrassing, and at dusk, it is dripping." Here, the poet personifies the next article "More Leaks", "The plane tree, it rains at midnight, leaving love is bitter; A leaf, a loud sound, empty footsteps fell on Ming Bo. Li Qingzhao, a poet, finally arrived at dusk, but she heard the sad rain. Poets write from the perspective of sound, and sound is in their hearts. "When gas moves, things naturally come into being." What's more, the poet's heart itself is full of sadness and sadness. The raindrops hit the buttonwood leaves and made a ticking sound. Isn't it more heartbreaking for the poet and doubly sad for the poet?

Therefore, in the end, the poet pushed his feelings to a very high level and issued "How can I get a sad word this time?" "Second" refers to scenes and situations. This time is a summary of the above. "How can a sad word win?" The poet ended with a word "sadness". First of all, he summed up all the above, summed up its internal meaning and pointed out the main idea of the word. Secondly, the poet added the word "how" before the word "worry", and then added the word "de", which means "great", which can't be summarized and constitutes a rhetorical sentence. The poet's use of rhetorical sentences not only reveals the poet Li Qingzhao's inner anxiety, but also has the aesthetic effect of "wanting to talk about it and rest", which not only leaves readers with room for imagination and attracts readers to "look for it", but also feels the infinite pain and sadness of the poet Li Qingzhao in his later years and the misfortune brought to the people by the collapse of the country and the death of his family.
