Liu Yuxi was a famous writer and philosopher in Tang Dynasty. His poems are good in all aspects, reflecting current affairs, politics and nostalgia. Broad subject matter, full of emotion, smooth and natural. It is full of enterprising spirit and meaningful philosophy. Vigorous and vigorous, vigorous and old, he is known as "a poet".
At that time, Liu Yuxi was demoted to Sima Lang State because he participated in Wang's political innovation activities with Liu Zongyuan. During his relegation, he lived in Bashan Chushui area for a long time. He doesn't want to be lonely. During his ten years in Langzhou, he often wrote poems and remained optimistic.
The demotion brought Liu Yuxi closer to people's lives. Ethnic minorities in Langzhou like to sing folk songs. As a small official, Liu Yuxi never cares about his identity, often participates in folk singing activities, and often helps Yi people write popular lyrics. These folk lyrics may have been circulated by the people at that time, and there is no written record, so they have been lost.
But since then, Liu Yuxi has become interested in folk songs. He thinks that folk songs have the true feelings of loving life and simple language, so he absorbs these characteristics in folk songs. Later, Liu Yuxi arrived in Kuizhou. Kuizhou is in the east of Sichuan, where a kind of Zhuzhi Ci is popular, which is a folk song combining music and dance. Every festival, local people will play flute and drum to catch up with the festival. At the rally, young men and women sang "Bamboo Branch", and whoever sang the most sang the best.
Liu Yuxi may not understand the local dialect, but he thinks this kind of folk song is cadence and euphemistic, which is more distinctive than what he heard in Langzhou.
One day, Liu Yuxi came to the river with graceful willows and green jade. The flow in the river is as horizontal as a big mirror, and the scenery is really beautiful. Picturesque scenery is a good place for young people to fall in love.
At this time, a pair of young lovers, the man did not see him, only heard his voice; Where is the girl? Nobody saw it, and there was no sound. Maybe she is quietly hiding in the dense shade, listening attentively to the young man singing, and that young man is her sweetheart. While listening to her sweetheart singing, the woman looked up at the sky and saw the sun rising in the west and it was raining in the east.
At the same time, it was sunny and rainy in the sky. Looking at the natural landscape in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the girl who first fell in love can't help wondering whether her feelings for her sweetheart are true: his heart is as elusive as the weather, and I don't know whether he is heartless or affectionate to me.
Therefore, the poet Liu Yuxi, as this woman, imitated the tone of folk songs, artistically processed her own experiences and feelings, and wrote a "Zhi Zhu Ci":
Willow and green Jiang Shuiping,
Smell the songs on the Langjiang River.
Sunrise in the east and rain in the west,
The road is sunny or sunny.
This poem is about a man singing and dancing on the river bank, which constructs the artistic conception of seeing off his girlfriend and expresses an ambiguous and implicit feeling.
"Not sunny", "sunny", "heartless" and "affectionate" are all homophones. The whole poem looks at the uncertain natural scenes in different places at once, expressing the confused and vague feelings in the love between men and women.
