Every scene and thing are related to each other
"Farewell at the Long Pavilion" is one of the most popular and exciting scenes in Wang Shifu's "The Romance of the West Chamber". This section uses the description of scenery to set up the dramatic environment and exaggerate the atmosphere. It is completely integrated with the protagonist's sorrow and sorrow, reaching an artistic realm where the scenes are highly integrated. Let’s take a look at this artistic feature of this article.
"Farewell" has always been hailed as a swan song about parting and sorrow. Its description of emotions and scenes has truly reached the height of "fusion". The opening song "Duanzhaozhao" paints a vast and colorful picture: blue sky and white clouds, yellow flowers all over the ground, strong west wind, northern geese flying south, frost forest dyed red. The first four sentences, one sentence for each scene, use scenery with the characteristics of the late autumn season to set off Yingying's painful and depressed mood troubled by separation. The last two sentences are Yingying's questions and answers, and she shed tears all night because of the pain of separation. Later, in Yingying's mind, the frosty woods at this time turned red because of her feelings of separation. The word "dye" communicated the connection between scenery and emotion, making the natural scenery blend into the solemn... The sorrow of separation casts a layer of gloomy and melancholy color. The bleak autumn scenery and the sad mood merge into one, creating a euphemistic, deep and sentimental mood of sadness. Looking at the whole song, "The sky is blue, the ground is yellow, the west wind is strong, and the wild geese from the north are flying south. Who is drunk in the frost forest at dawn? People always shed tears when they leave." Every sentence in the whole poem is a scene, and only one word "tears" is love, but The word "tears" makes the whole scene shine with the tears of separation. They all become objects to convey emotions, the finishing touch, and the full realm.
If the song "Duanzhao" focuses on showing emotions through scenery, then the song "Rolling Hydrangea" mainly uses the scenery on the way as clues to express the complex emotions of the characters. Yingying and Zhang Sheng went through many twists and turns before they were reunited. Unexpectedly, just after they got rid of the pain of lovesickness, they were immediately forced to separate. Thinking of this, their hearts were full of resentment and helpless. Therefore, how much she hoped that the long willow silk could tie Zhang Sheng's horse, and how she hoped that the sparse woods could catch the setting sun! However, no matter how long the willow silk was, it would be difficult to tie it to the jade horse. Set in the west. The only hope is to let Zhang Sheng's horse ride slower and his car to follow more closely. Although they have been apart for a long time, they only hope that they can depend on each other. However, the farewell pavilion is already in sight. The moment is right in front of us, why don't we make people "belts widen" and "jade muscles become thinner"? Although it is a farewell, there is no word "farewell" at all, and Yingying's feeling of farewell is completely infected by the rich painting and poetry. It vividly conveys Yingying's sad and sad feelings of nostalgia as she bids farewell to Zhang Sheng.
Echoing "Duan Zheng" and "Yi Sha", the song "Yisha" combines green mountains and sparse forests, light smoke and mist, ancient sunset roads, and autumn wind to form a "late autumn farewell picture." "The green mountains separated us from each other, the sparse forest was not beautiful, and the light smoke and dusk covered each other." It is about the Yingying standing in a daze, staring at each other, showing the melancholy of not being able to see and the nostalgia that can't bear to leave. "There are no people talking on the ancient road at sunset, and the autumn wind hears the horses neighing." This sentence seems simple, but it has a profound meaning. Sunset and dusk are the time to return home, but now they are far apart, how can people be embarrassed! The word "ancient" , not only adds a lot of desolation, but also extends the sadness of separation to ancient and modern times. It is full of many "subtexts" in the characters' hearts and inspires readers to have rich associations. The three words "no words" not only express the silence of the environment, but also deeply describe Yingying's loneliness and pain of having nowhere to complain. But at this time, the horse's neighing came, which broke the silence on the ancient sunset road and added another scar to Yingying's already broken heart. The place where the horse cries is exactly where Zhang Sheng is! Hearing the horse's cry, he can't see his relatives riding away. One can imagine Yingying's mood. The contrast between "silent" and "sound" further highlights the desolation of the environment and the sorrow of Yingying. This piece of music uses the scenery to set off emotions and transform emotions into the scenery, vividly showing Yingying's state of mind of "the sorrow of separation gradually becomes infinite". It leaves a far-reaching and meaningful aftertaste to "Farewell in the Long Pavilion".

It is also a heart-strings and touching farewell song, with its richness.
