These two sentences describe Yang Guifei's painful feelings through visual images, such as her loneliness and tears, which are all from the inner pain on her face. But this sentence alone is not vivid enough, so "Spring Rain on Pear Flowers" is added below.
Yang Guifei is a famous beauty. Li Bai once compared her to a gorgeous peony flower in Qingpingdiao. Now she is in a very painful situation, and Bai Juyi compares her to a pear flower with rain.
Song of Eternal Sorrow is a long narrative poem written by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
The original excerpt is as follows:
This lady, after hearing the news of Emperor China's envoy, woke up from her dream in her canopy.
She pushed open the pillow, got dressed, shook off her drowsiness, opened the pearly curtain, and then opened the silver screen.
Because she left in such a hurry, her muddy hair ornaments hung aside, and when she came along the platform, her flowered hat was loose.
The wind blew the fairy's robe, as if she were dancing in a rainbow skirt and feather coat.
Tears rolled down her sad and pale face, just like the spring rain on pear flowers.
The translation is as follows:
It's true that the king's angel came and woke up from the tent. Put on your clothes, push away the pillow and go out to sleep. Open the screen one by one and put down the bead curtain.
Half-combed with clouds, I just woke up and came down from the altar before dressing, with a wreath askew.
Gentle fairy wind blows sleeves and flutters slightly, just like the dance of a dress and a feather. Lonely and sad, tears are always flowing on my face, like pear flowers with rain in spring.
Extended data:
In the first year of Yuanhe (806), Bai Juyi was appointed as county commandant (now Xi zhouzhi county). One day, my friends Chen Hong and Wang Zhifu and I visited Xianyou Temple near Ant, and talked about Li Longji and Yang Guifei. Wang Zhifu believes that something as outstanding as this will disappear with the passage of time if it is not polished.
He encouraged Bai Juyi: "Lotte is deeper than poetry and deeper than love. How about trying to make a song? " So Bai Juyi wrote this long poem. Because the last two sentences of the long poem are "the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever;" One day, both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever. "They called this poem" The Song of Eternal Sorrow ". At the same time, Chen Hong wrote a legendary novel "Song of Eternal Sorrow".
