Bai Juyi's Rain at Night
I miss a person, far away from home. I felt something, and it was deeply rooted in my intestines. I can't be far away from home, and I don't look forward to it every day.
I can't solve the problem in depth and don't think about it every night. What's more, I stayed alone in the empty hall this evening. Autumn is unknown, rain and dust.
If you don't learn Buddhism, you can forget your peace of mind.
The main idea of this poem is:
I have someone I miss deeply, but I am separated in a different place. I feel something, but it's buried deep in my heart. My hometown is too far away for me to go home. Not a day goes by without looking at it. I feel sad and depressed, but I have nowhere to solve it. I never stop thinking day and night. My future seems to be confused and hopeless, and I can only stay alone in this empty house. Autumn hasn't come yet, but it's already stormy. If you don't learn the Dharma of an ascetic monk, you will never forget the past!
Judging from the style of writing, this poem completely ignored the style of writing, but in the end it became a masterpiece through the ages. If the "I" in the poem is seen by teachers in the Tang Dynasty, it must be pointed at. But it is precisely because of this that the whole poem reveals a simple and frank beauty.
At the same time, the combination of "far" and "deep" makes this poem full of folk songs and catchy. The next two couplets are a disgusting confession to the beloved: "You are so far away from me in a foreign land that I can't get close to you. I am full of worries and don't miss you for a day and a night. "
The two couplets used the words "no", "nothing" and "no" to write their own lovesickness incisively and vividly. Compared with Li Shangyin's hazy love poems, this kind of confession is really direct and powerful, which is Bai Juyi's consistent poetic style. The scholar Gao Mai called it "the word is heavy and bright", which is correct. It's a pity that Bai Juyi failed to stay with Xiangling in the end, which became his lifelong regret.
The first sentence, "I miss someone", came straight to the point and wrote what I wanted to say. The strong emotional color was immediately displayed to the readers without image rendering. The four sentences are in the same form, but they have deep feelings. The first sentence mentioned people's yearning and distance, which is a flat overview. So far, I have not mentioned what kind of people they are and how much they miss her.
