Li Shangyin is talented and quick-thinking. He was admitted to a scholar in his early twenties. He was jealous of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and was not brushed off. Since then, he has never met his talent. In the "Niu Li Party Struggle", the two sides are in a dilemma, full of doubts, repeatedly rejected, and their ambitions are difficult to achieve. Losing his wife in middle age, expressing his feelings by writing poems, is despised by people.
This poem was written by the author in his later years, and there have always been different opinions about the creative intention of this poem "Jinse". Or think it's patriotic, or think it's a memorial to his dead wife, or think it's a theory of self-injury, or think it's a pen to express your thoughts and treat your children.
However, this poem was written after the death of Li Shangyin's wife, so 50 strings have the meaning of broken strings (once the 25-string Gusser string is broken in half, it is 50 strings), but even so, every string and syllable of it is enough to express the yearning for that wonderful time.
Extended data
Li Shangyin's "Jinse" in Tang Dynasty, the original text is:
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring.
Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun.
A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it.
Translation:
Why do exquisite musical instruments have fifty strings, each of which reminds me of my youth?
Zhuang Zhou danced in his sleep and turned into a butterfly, hoping that the emperor would entrust his hatred to Du Fu.
The moon, the sea and Jiao Ren shed tears, and the jade in Lantian can only turn into smoke when it is warm.
Why do you want to recall this scene at this time, just because my heart was just at a loss at that time.
About the author:
Li Shangyin (about 8 13-858), born in western Henan (xi) and Fan Nan, born in Xingyang, Zhengzhou (now Xingyang, Zhengzhou, Henan), was a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty, and was called "Little Du Li" with Du Mu.
Li Shangyin was one of the few poets who deliberately pursued the beauty of poetry in the late Tang Dynasty and even the whole Tang Dynasty. He is good at poetry writing, and parallel prose also has high literary value. His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems are touching, beautiful and moving, and are widely read.
However, some poems (represented by Jinse) are obscure and inseparable, and there is a saying that "poets always love Quincy and hate that no one writes about Jian Zheng".
