In the sunny days of Zhongzhou, the boudoir has more leisure, so remember to pay more attention to three or five. Pave the green crown, twist the golden snow willow, and cluster the belt to fight for Chu. Now haggard, windy and foggy, afraid to go out at night. It's better to listen to people laughing under the curtain.
The first part of the poem describes the sad mood of living in a foreign land during the Lantern Festival, focusing on the contrast between the cheerfulness of objective reality and the desolation of her subjective mood. The first two sentences, "Sunset melts gold, twilight clouds combine together", write about yat sen villa, which is a good weather for festivals, with broad artistic conception and gorgeous colors. Immediately after the word "where are people", point out your own situation: wandering in a foreign land, homeless, in stark contrast to auspicious days. (The "person" here, some commentators think, refers to the relatives that Li Qingzhao misses. From the point of view of the text, it seems better to refer to the author himself. ) The first three sentences write about the weather at that time, and the second three sentences write about the season at that time, "Staying willow smoke thick, blowing plum flute resentment", pointing out that the season is early spring. From the visual point of view, the first-born willow was covered with light smoke in early spring. The next sentence puts pen to paper from the sense of hearing, and through the sad tune from the flute, it is associated with the early spring scenery of "the falling plum is like snow". Everywhere is full of spring, the scenery is pleasant, but in the poet's view, after all, "how much spring is known" is far from very rich. Although it is "Lantern Festival" and "harmonious weather", the changes of state affairs and the ups and downs of life experience over the years have made female poets feel that "things are different" and "the good times are not often". Therefore, after the "melting weather", I immediately pointed out the possibility that "there will be no rain next time", and in the faint spring, I mixed in a deep worry. The above three sections are similar in structure, and they are all two four-sentence sentences, which are actually written and written about the pleasant objective scenery, followed by a question, which reflects the different subjective feelings. It boils down to the theme of this article: on holidays, although the weather is fine, I have no intention of enjoying it. Therefore, although there are "wine friends and poetry lovers" who invite her to watch the lights and enjoy the moon with "cars and BMWs", they have to politely say politely decline. On the surface, the reason is that I am afraid of encountering "wind and rain". In fact, it is a national disaster, and I have already lost the mood of enjoying the lights and playing with the moon. If it was in the year of peace and prosperity, the situation would be very different. In this way, the poet naturally turned to the memories of celebrating the festival in Bianjing that year.
The next film of Ci focuses on the author's happy mood of spending the Lantern Festival in Bianjing before crossing the south, to compare with the current bleak scene. "Zhongzhou" refers to Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is now Kaifeng City, Henan Province; "March 5th" means the 15th of the month, that is, the Lantern Festival. At that time, in order to decorate Taiping, the Song Dynasty did its utmost to lavish on the Lantern Festival. According to "The Legacy of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty", "from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month to the 16th day of the first month" is really "every family lights up and plays the strings everywhere". Among them, the scene of the fourteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Xuanhe was mentioned: "There are clouds and waves in the capital, with jade plums, snow willows and moths at the end until Aoshan sees the lights." The article "16th day of the first month" in Meng Yuanlao's Tokyo Dream Record has a similar record. In this first word, "spreading a green crown, twisting golden snow willows, and competing for Chu with clusters" is exactly what the author wrote when he was in a happy mood and dressed up for a trip with his "boudoir" female companion. It's all realism, not fiction. However, the good times didn't last long, and the nomads from the army invaded, leaving them wandering in different places. Nowadays, people are old, haggard, and disheveled. Although it is also a holiday season, how can they have the heart to travel abroad? "It is better to listen to people's laughter under the curtain", which reflects the poet's sad and lonely mood.
