1, Jinse by Li Shangyin.
Ancient Poetry: 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.
Appreciation: Jinse is Li Shangyin's masterpiece, and everyone who loves poetry is happy to sing, which is the most famous. However, this is the most difficult poem to explain. Poetry creatively uses symbols and metaphors to develop the traditional "metaphor" method. "I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, each with a youthful interval."
There are 50 strings on the beautifully painted harp, and the poet is feeling that he is almost 50 years old. Every string and column reminds him of the past years, suggesting that he is outstanding in talent and that the years have passed.
2. Yuan Zhen's Five Thoughts on Poetry, the fourth song.
Ancient poetry: once the sea was difficult for water, it was amber forever. Hurried through the flowers, lazy to look back; This reason is partly because of the ascetic monk, and partly because of who you used to be.
Appreciation: This is a work to mourn the death of his wife Wei Cong. The poet praised the love between husband and wife and expressed his loyalty and nostalgia for Wei Cong with the metaphor of "seeking things with expressions" and warning words.
Yuan Zhen's quatrains are not only figurative and lyrical, but also wonderful in writing. The first two sentences use extreme metaphors to write nostalgic mourning feelings, such as "sea" and "Wushan", which imply magnificence, the spread of elegy and the trend of rivers flowing. Later "Lazy Review" and "Half the Sky" suddenly eased the language situation, turned into profound lyricism, and formed a ups and downs melody.
3. Three Sorrow and Three Sorrow by Yuan Zhen.
Ancient Poetry: I am sitting here alone, mourning for both of us. How long is more than one hundred years? No offspring is fate, and Pan Yue just mourned his dead wife in vain. Even if you can bury it, you can't tell a passion. What an illusory hope the fetters of the afterlife are. I can only miss you with my eyes open all night, and I will repay my gratitude for my life without raising my eyebrows.
Appreciation: The first sentence "I am sitting here alone, mourning for both of us" is a link between the preceding and the following. Summarize the first two songs with "King of Sorrow" and lead the following with "Self-pity". From the early death of his wife, he thought of a limited life. A hundred years of life is not long.
The poet used Deng You and Pan Yue as metaphors, pretending to be philosophical and meaningless, but revealed the pain of childlessness and wife loss. Then I turned out hope from despair, hoping that the couple would be buried together after death and remarried in the afterlife. However, think again calmly: this is just an illusory fantasy.
