Author: Li Qingzhao
Last night, it rained suddenly and the wind blew, so I slept soundly and didn't consume wine. Ask the shutter man, Haitang is still there. Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? It should be green, fat, red and thin.
Precautions:
1. Shutter: maid.
2. Green, fat, red and thin: lush foliage and withered flowers. Song Huang Ji's Golden Gate: "After the storm, the branches are fat and the red leaves are thin."
[Introduction]
This poem by Li Qingzhao has been talked about by critics all through the ages, but it is famous for its few words. Most of the ancient critics focused on the novel and ingenious creation of words, especially the words "green, fat, red and thin". Song He said: A worker made up a language, and the phrase "green, fat, red and thin" in Dream is called the world. "("argot ") Wang Qingshi really said:" The predecessors said that poetry is beautiful in western syntax, and Wu Mengchuang literally means it. Because it is accurate, it needs to be carefully carved without losing its true colors. Such as' green fat, red thin' and' pampering willow flowers', artificial ingenuity can be called a swan song. " In the early Qing Dynasty, Chen Tingzhuo said, "Poets are good at making colourful ci. For example, Left and Strict's "Dripping Powder and Rubbing Crisp", "Liu Afraid", Yi Lee's "Green Fat and Red Thin", "Fu Hua" and so on, although the words are blunt, are not elegant. ("Bai Yu Zhai Hua Ci") said: "In terms of the number of words, there are ups and downs. Secular disciples call it' green, fat, red and thin', especially the appearance of the skin. " ("Shao Yunji")
To be fair, Chen's words are very helpful. The phrase "green and fat, red and thin" is very subtle. If the plants are fat and thin, Han Yu has "between the round gardenia pods and the huge banana eaves" ("Rock"), Zhang Xian has "Plum blossoms are thin in snow cages and gardens" ("Stealing the sound of magnolia flowers"), and Li Qingzhao herself has the language of "dew is thick and flowers are thin", but "green and fat are red and thin" is both concrete and abstract, and the gaunt flowers can be imagined. However, the beauty of this word lies in the twists and turns of words in one breath. Liaoyuan Huang in the Qing Dynasty had a deep understanding of this: "Ask affectionately, answer with' return', and the answer is excellent, leaving the sentence' Do you know' behind. And' green fat red thin' is infinitely sad, but it is implicit. " Short pictures hide countless twists and turns, better than words. "("Selected Poems of Starting a prairie fire ")
Ask and answer, ask and answer, a scene, two moods, a feeling, intriguing. There are always too many unbearable lightness in a sentimental life, which has nothing to do with people's feelings.
