Full-text translation of the poem "Chanting Fish Music" (Su Shi)

Yong Yu Le Su Shi Series: an ancient poem about lotus. Yong Yule spent the night in Pengcheng Swallow House, dreamed of it, and wrote this word. The bright moon is like frost, the wind is like water, and the scenery is infinite. Jumping fish in a curved harbor, the lotus leaves the dew, and the loneliness is unknown. Like three drums, like a leaf, dark dreams are broken. The night is boundless, and I can't find a place. I feel that I have traveled all over the small garden. Tired of tourists from the ends of the earth, I returned to my home in the mountains and looked at my hometown. The swallow house is empty, where there is beauty, the swallow in the empty lock house. Ancient and modern dreams, but there are old joys and new grievances. At different times, the night view of the Huang family is a sigh of Yu Hao. Note [Cheng Peng] Today Xuzhou, Jiangsu. [Yanzilou] In the Tang Dynasty, Xuzhou Shangshu built a small building in his own mansion because he loved prostitutes. [Like] Drums. Clear voice. [Dream Cloud] The goddess of night dreams faces the cloud. Cloud, the rest. Song Yu's "Gao Tang Mi" was published, and the king of Chu dreamed of the goddess: "It rains at dusk." [startled] wake up. A wish. [Taohuawu] The building on the east gate of Xuzhou was built by Su Shi when he was in Xuzhou. The bright moon is as white as frost, so cool as water, and the fresh and quiet night scene is really pleasant. In the winding canal, the fish jumped out of the water, and the dew fell on the round lotus leaf with the wind. But in the dead of night, such beautiful scenery is not appreciated. Drums in the middle of the night, the sound resounded through the night sky, and a leaf quietly fell to the ground, which shocked my dream. The night is boundless, and I can't see the scenery at dusk anymore. After waking up, I searched all over the small garden, but there was no trace anywhere. Wanderers who have been away from home for a long time are looking at their way home in the mountains and thinking of their hometown. The Swallow House is empty, and the beauty has gone, leaving only the painting hall of Shuang Yanzi in the building. Everything in ancient and modern times is empty, and how many people can wake up from their dreams, only some miss the old feelings and can't help sighing. The moon is like frost, the wind is like water, and the scenery is infinite. The moonlight in autumn night is bright, as bright as frost, and the chill attacks people. The breeze is blowing gently, as soft as water. This is an infinitely elegant situation! "Fish jump in the meandering harbor, and the lotus is exposed, and no one sees loneliness": In the meandering harbor, fish jump out of the water from time to time to enjoy the moon; On the round lotus leaf, dewdrops are dripping down. In the silence, the sound of fish jumping and the dew of lotus leaves set off the depth of autumn night. But such a beautiful scenery is always "lonely and invisible"! "Like three drums, one leaf is loud, and the dark dreams are shocking." The drums have sounded in the middle of the night, and the sound of fallen leaves can even be clearly heard in the late autumn night. A deep sleep is interrupted by drums, which makes people feel gloomy. "In the dark, I found nowhere to go, and I felt that I had traveled all over the small garden." In the dark, I want to find my dream again, but after visiting the small garden, I can't find a trace. "and heaven remains our neighbourhood, I am tired of returning to Shan Ye and looking forward to my hometown." I'm tired of wandering around the ends of the earth. And the distant mountains are blocked, even if you look through the autumn water, it is difficult to return to your hometown. "The swallow is empty, where is the beauty? Empty lock swallow house: "swallow house" goes to the empty house. The beauty of that year is long gone, only the swallow locked in the empty building! "Ancient and modern times are like dreams, but there are old joys and new grievances": how many past joys and sorrows suddenly become empty, and how many ancient and modern things are like dreams. I still don't wake up, just because of old love and new hatred, I'm still struggling with my life! "The night view of the Yellow House in different periods is a sigh to Yu Hao": Today, I am here to mourn the Swallow House and think of Guan. One day someone will come to the yellow building I built, and they will also lament that I am a passer-by of history! Appreciation of Su Shi's Ode to Fish Music "Ode to Fish Music" is a beautiful and refined word, written in 1078 (the first year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong), when Su Shi was well known in Xuzhou. According to the preface, we can know that the background of this poem is a dream poem. Zheng's "Hand-approved Dongpo Yuefu" bets on the topic of "Xuzhou Night Dream, which is the work of the swallow upstairs", and thinks that "the swallow tower may not be able to stay, so why dream?" Dongpo lay man would never dream like this. "Obviously, I don't think the inscription recorded in Fu Gan's Zhupo Ci is credible, but I think Wang Wengong's Su Shizong case says,' I dream of going to the Yanzi Building in October and find a place to do things the next day'. Wang Wen asserts that one thing is two things, and it is difficult to find evidence in his words. What Zheng said is more speculation, which is obviously not enough. On the contrary, Fu's annotation is titled "Gongjiu Annotation", so we should not doubt it at will, which coincides with the situation in the word and should be able to interpret the word accordingly. In the inscription, the author claims that she spent the night in Yanzilou, Pengcheng, Jiangsu, and dreamed of the Aifeiguan of Zhang Shangshu in the Tang Dynasty, where she used to live. According to legend, the Yanzi Building was built by Zhang Shangshu in the Tang Dynasty for a famous prostitute. Pan Pan has a good face, can sing and dance, and has an extraordinary speech. Since Zhang's death, I have been missing my old friend, so I have lived alone in a small building for more than ten years and have never been married. ? Su Shi knew that Xuzhou had traveled to Hangzhou, Mizhou and other places before, and his political loneliness and resentment against Wang Anshi's political reform, as well as the loneliness brought about by frequent changes in his career, came to him from time to time. That night, a charming and lingering dream made him realize the true meaning of life. " When to go home, be an idle person. Yes, a piano, a pot of wine and a cloud. His soul has been purified and sublimated from dreams. Because of this word, I expressed my thoughts and feelings about the life universe. In the poem, the quiet night scene of the small garden of Yanzilou expresses the lingering melancholy in Yanzilou's chest after the dream, and expresses the theory that the poet learned from the empty building that "ancient and modern dreams have never been dreamed". Shang Kun wrote a quiet dream and a sense of loss after waking up. From the first three sentences, I always write about the beautiful scenery of autumn night. Every sentence uses frost and moisture to describe the moon and wind, which can be summed up as "infinite scenery". Appreciating love is beyond words. The first sentence writes that the moonlight is bright as frost; The autumn wind is smooth and cool as water, bringing people into an infinite quiet situation. Infinite Scenery is not only a description of the night scene in late autumn, but also an emotional expression of the poet's soul after being comforted by the scenery. The word "Qing" is the core, which not only has the feeling of cool night wind, but also has the meaning of purity beyond reality The three sentences of "Qu Gang" are followed by dreams, and you can see the movement in silence. It still focuses on depicting "Jing Qing", but the perspective is relatively concentrated. The scenery changes from big to small, from static to static: fish jump in the curved harbor, and lotus flowers fall. The fish jumped up, dew spilled down, up and down, strewn at random. Fish jump dark and people are quiet, and dew and diarrhea can be seen at night. The poet's silence contrasts with the movement, making the already quiet night quieter. The phrase "lonely and unknown" has profound meaning: the scene of jumping fish and dew in the garden pool can be seen every night, but there are always many times when no one sees it; I come occasionally, but if I don't mean to, I can't see it even if I come. In the dead of night, people have rested, but naturally they are full of vitality, but this kind of vitality is rare and lonely. Revealing the contradiction between man and nature in a dream and comparing the ruthlessness of personnel with the tranquility and fun of nature is actually a song about reality. However, although the fish jumped into the harbor and the lotus was full of noise, it would not disturb the dream. It's just the big drums in the middle of the night, which disturb people's dreams and make the Qing scene lost. Words have changed from listening and speaking to writing about the depth of the night and the shock of dreams: drums ring in the middle of the night and autumn nights are deep; A leaf fell and made a loud noise. "Ru Ru" and "Loud and Bright" are about the clarity of sound, which is used to quiet, further strengthening the quiet and seclusion of the night. The leisurely dream was suddenly interrupted by the sound of drums and leaves, which made me feel gloomy. At the end of the first three sentences, I wrote about the vacant mood after the broken dream: after the poet woke up, although he wanted to find his dream again, it was obviously impossible to see the "clear scenery" in his dream in the boundless night, so he went all over the small garden and found nothing but boundless night, boundless night and boundless heart. Write the word "night scene" first, and then describe the dream of visiting the park. Therefore, dreams and night scenes reflect each other, which seems to be true and unreal and vague. The word "travel around" especially shows the state of being obsessed with dreams. The comfort in the dream is in sharp contrast to the depression in the park. The author's interest is also revealed from the side. Xiatan is to express your feelings after waking up, which means depression and detachment. The first three sentences are about your own state of mind. I wrote about a wanderer, tired of wandering in the ends of the earth, missing my way home in the deep mountains, yearning for my hometown until I saw it, and I was very homesick. This sentence has a deep sense of life experience and expresses the poet's infinite disappointment and regret. Du Fu once said in his poem: "Climb the stairs on the horizon and enter your hometown with spring. Su Shi should use Du Fu's poems here to write about his homesickness after going upstairs. Since Xining four years ago, Su Shi's external posts have studied cold and heat seven times, and his body and mind are extremely exhausted. He wants to go back to his hometown in Beijing, and his mood is unbearable. The word "hope to break" shows its urgency. Next, I wrote three sentences, "The Swallow House is Empty", which talked about the vicissitudes of the Swallow House and the lack of beauty's hope. From the empty realization of the dead building, I realized the instant birth and death of everything, and then transcended it with emptiness, expressing my heart directly: the dream of life has not awakened, because the feelings of joy and resentment have not been broken. When the original Swallow House was built has not been tested. Xuzhou, Zhangshangshu Town, far away from the Tang Dynasty, built a new Yan house to protect prostitutes. Looking forward to Miaoshan singing and dancing, elegant, in order to repay Zhang Shangshu, after Zhang's death, he lived in Yanzilou for more than ten years and never remarried. In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi described it in the Three Prefaces to Poems of the Yanzilou, but only said Zhang Shangshu, whose name was not true, and his surname could not be found. According to the old legend, Zhang Shangshu is Zhang Jianfeng. I hope my last name is Guan. However, the Chronicle of Baixiangshan written by Wang Liming in Qing Dynasty was verified as the event that Zhang Jian sealed Rizo. Talking about these two things is not confusing, but it is only to examine historical events, especially when it is prudent. Su Shi told an affair about the swallow house, which made the feelings and sorrows of the dying people simple and rational, praised so many ancient things and conveyed a vivid example with things. Showed Qin Guan "a small building with a garden, a glimpse of embroidered hub and carved saddle", and thought the words were rich and sincere. Both Zhang Yan and Zheng appreciate these three sentences, and they also deliberately use things to make the code wonderful. " The three sentences "ancient and modern", from ancient hope to present self, from old love and new resentment of hope to old love and new resentment of one's own, send out a dream-like lament of life, expressing the author's boredom and sorrow for the whole life, which he can't escape but is welcome. These three sentences use the meaning of Zhuangzi's "You and me, whose dream has not started to wake up". From the beauty in the ancient swallow house, to the tired guest who went upstairs today, to all the ordinary people in ancient and modern times, they are all in their dreams. This is a concentrated feedback of Su Shi's philosophy of life, which originated from Zhuangzi's theory of everything: "... you dream, but you don't know dreams, dreams occupy dreams, and then you know dreams." "Then sleep a big sleep, and then know this big dream, fools think they are. Life is like a dream, and only those who wake up know it is a dream. Unfortunately, people who think they are sober are still dreaming, while people who think they are smart are still fools. Therefore, between ancient and modern times, it is not the difference between dreamers and awakened ones, but the content of dreams is different, and ancient and modern times are the same dream. Not only that, but in the future, it will be the same as in the past. On this day, Su Shi went upstairs, feeling excited, as if he were a dreamer awakened. In the future, if someone climbs the building and looks at the night view of the Huang family, he may also be awakened and sigh at the dreamer. However, in extreme cases, it is just a dreamer at all times and in all countries. It is painful to wake up, and the dreamer is happy because of his dream. Su Shi found a good medicine to relieve pain from Zhuangzi's philosophy. " Although holding an article, anyone who opens his mouth must kiss. And Tao Tao, happy innocence. At the end of the two sentences, I thought of the Huang family from the Swallow House and the future from the sky. Taohuawu was rebuilt by Su Shi, which is a memorial after the Yellow River burst its banks and a symbol of Su Shi's achievements in defending Xuzhou. But the poet imagined that future generations would pay tribute to themselves when they saw Huang Mansion, just as he expected to see Yanzi Mansion today. He expressed his endless feelings that "the present is still the present" (preface to the Lanting Collection by Wang Xizhi), skillfully combined his admiration for history with his thinking about reality and even the future, and finally got rid of the great trouble caused by political twists and turns and his spirit was liberated. From now on, Su Shi's attitude towards life is bound to be negative. However, under the historical conditions of frequent party struggles and repeated attacks on poets in the Northern Song Dynasty, readers should not be harsh on the ancients. After all, the illusory comfort beyond reality is also a very common spiritual existence state of ancient literati. The poet combines scenery, emotion and reason in one furnace, and germinates around the Yanzilou incident. Scenery is the scene of the Yanzilou, emotion is the lingering emotion after the dream of the Yanzilou, and reason is the eternal inquiry of the philosophy of life that "life is like a dream" originated from the Yanzilou incident. The whole poem is full of profound feelings, the blending of emotion and reason, the quiet realm, the clear style in harmony and grace, the clear theme in allusions, the harmony but not astringency, and the seclusion and tranquility complement each other, which fully shows the genius of Su Shi's careful writing. The profound feelings of life in this poem include the continuous events of ancient and modern times, tiredness and beauty, dreams and beauty. It conveys a sense of emptiness and indifference to life with some meditation, and also hides some thoughts of being born that require complete liberation. The three sentences of "Swallow House is Empty" in the poem have been passed down through the ages and won the appreciation of future generations. The beauty of these three sentences, just as Zheng criticized Dongpo History Museum, said, "It's almost that you don't praise the ancient signs." The last volume of Hu Zai's "Tiaoxi Fishing Hidden in Conghua" refers to this word: "It's really sighing to take off pen and ink and create ancients everywhere." Not flattery.
