In fact, the first time I came into contact with Nalan's ci was when I was reading An Yiru's Life as First Seen. In fact, in many historical dramas, Nalan appeared as a charming wit. Anyway, novels in Ming and Qing dynasties are the mainstream, and poems in Qing dynasty can be said to be of low attainments, with Nalan as an exception. Nalan's "Drinking Words" is almost as profound as Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Nalan Ci can be said to be a blend of Manchu and Chinese cultures, and the profound cultural heritage of the Han nationality and the cultural blend of Manchu nomads give Nalan Ci a unique charm. In the Qing Dynasty, because its ruling class was a "nation on horseback", there was a strong tendency of "respecting martial arts and restraining literature". Anyway, there are not many famous poets in Qing Dynasty. Nalan is an exception, as if Jin had such a glimmer of light with Ji Kang; Song and Li Qingzhao are more tender; With Zhu, things would not be so gloomy. Nalan Ci is a symbol of poetry in Qing Dynasty.
As for the style of Nalan's ci, it can be said that it is full of artistic conception, fresh and beautiful in style, and has the elegant demeanor of Tao Qian's poetry. Nalan is a genius in poetry and prose. Although he was born in a gourmet family, he was deeply tired of the vulgarity of officialdom and the life of "imperial literati".
Nalan's love life is not smooth sailing. His first wife Lu died in childbirth three years after marriage, which made Nalan sad and frustrated. In addition, the gathering and dispersion of literary friends also makes them feel confused and pessimistic.
Nalan's personal detached style can be said to be quite popular with women: "Every family is bitter about water words, and several people know Nalan's worries". Reminds me unconsciously of Liu Sanbian, the same romantic teenager, but the former is more affectionate. It is said that cousin Nalan entered the palace and wrote that "if life is just like the first sight" is related to this. It turns out that the "sad painting fan" is something in the poem of a court dissatisfied wife. In addition, if Nalan and his cousin are "childhood friends" and "two young people have no guess" and are separated by unreasonable "strict hierarchy", the anguish in their hearts can be imagined. Perhaps, Nalan used the excuse of "life is like seeing for the first time" to express his persistence in his cousin and his single-mindedness in his feelings.
Actually, I don't know much about it either. I'm just saying.
