When night came, my dream suddenly came home. Xiao Xuan window, get dressed. Care for each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears, it is expected that heartbroken every year, on the moonlit night, short pine hills.
-Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi"
Appreciate:
Jiang's Twenty Dreams in the First Month is a poem written by Su Shi in memory of his wife Wang Fu. Wang Fu is Su Shi's married wife, a young man from Meishan. At the age of sixteen, she married Su Dongpo, who was three years older than him, and they loved each other after marriage. The epitaph of Dongpo's deceased wife once described his wife like this: "If you see a stone and study, you won't go all day." Quite a taste of "adding fragrance to tea". It can be said that the two not only supported each other in life, but also Wang Fu was Su Shi's confidante and accompanied him through many storms in life. However, the loving couple did not come to an end. Su Shi's good wife and mother unfortunately died in Beijing at the age of 27.
One night ten years later, Su Shi had a dream in Mizhou, dreaming of lingering with his dead wife in the past. When he woke up, he could not help crying. He wrote this famous song "Jiang Yimeng's 20th day of the first month" in memory of his dead wife.
The words above express the pain of lovesickness. At the beginning of the word, the author directly expressed his thoughts and expressed his endless thoughts about his wife from the perspective of time. "Ten years of life and death, I don't think about it, I will never forget it." After ten years of death, the two sides were isolated from each other, but even if they didn't think about it, their wife's voice and smile were still unforgettable. "Love hurts and leaves since ancient times." What's more, this is a farewell to death, ten years, a whole decade, but it has not diluted the poet's deep affection for his dead wife. "If you don't think about it, you won't forget" is the simplest and natural expression, which is particularly touching because it is true. The first sentence is the author's long-term lament from the heart, which sets a sad tone for the whole poem.
"A lonely grave thousands of miles away is nowhere to be sad." It is from the distance of space to write about his wife's situation: how lonely and desolate his dead wife is left alone in the cold underground thousands of miles away. The word "loneliness" expresses the poet's yearning for his dead wife. "Sad words" are for the living and the dead: ten years after death, each has a lot to say to the other, but it is impossible and nowhere to tell.
"Even if you don't know each other, you are covered with dust and your temples are like frost." These three sentences imply the poet's profound feelings about his life experience. After his wife's death, Su Shi suffered political setbacks and blows. Years of hard work have made him travel-stained and cold, so even if he does have a chance to meet, his wife may not recognize himself. With this in mind, the poet really has a lot to say, but the living are affectionate and the dead are fearless. "Desolate" has nowhere to tell, and it is more and more bleak to tell where there is nowhere to tell. These three sentences can be said to be a word and a tear.
Then write a dream. Reality is cruel, but it can't hinder the poet's thought. "Dreaming at night and coming home suddenly", the dream transcends time and space, crosses the line between life and death, and the poet meets his wife in the dream. Thinking during the day and dreaming at night, this is the poet's yearning for the ultimate performance. In the dream, the poet returned to his hometown. What did he see after returning home? Xiao Xuan Window Dressing is a vivid portrayal of the former life of this loving couple. This sentence has no flowery rhetoric or excessive exaggeration. It only takes six words to integrate true and strong feelings into seemingly ordinary life scenes. It is not difficult for readers to imagine that the couple love each other and are happy. Ten years of where will you go, infinite yearning, after meeting, "caring for each other without words, but tears for a thousand lines", the feelings vanished in the depths. Thinking of the depths, we are speechless, speechless, full of tears and endless emotions! Words are better than words, and they can express deep and complicated feelings more than a thousand words.
Meeting in a dream is beautiful, but the reality behind waking up is worrying: "Every year is expected to be heartbroken, and the moon is bright and short." Leng Yue is distinct and full of places where Matsuoka buried his dead wife. How can this scene not make people feel sad! "heartbroken land" refers to the grave of a dead wife, but heartbroken people refer to both the living and the dead.
Su Shi's poems are melancholy, sad and sad. They didn't win by using allusions, nor by practicing calligraphy and coloring. They are completely written in ordinary language, but they have a touching artistic appeal because they are emotional. The title of the word "Remembering Dreams" is of course full of imagination, but this artistic imagination is based on the sincere and profound feelings of husband and wife. As "A Brief Comment on Song Poetry" said: "The first and most important artistic appeal of this poem is that the dead wife still lives in the poet's heart ... In his poems, the wife is always a living image." Although the living and the dead are separated forever, the emotional bond is knotted and exists forever. This deep and sincere feeling makes this small print have a tearful effect. As a generation, Su Shi's technique of writing emotions is also very clever.
First of all, poets are good at grasping the details of life and describing them in a simple way. "Xiao Xuan Window, Dressing" is an extremely ordinary segment of his wife's life. Su Shi chose this passage as a lyrical background, which made his feelings rely on and appear true. This kind of wife's common life scene appears in the author's dream, which is illusory, but it is true, or it used to be true. The appearance of this illusory scene has brought strong fluctuations and collisions to the poet's inner feelings: such a scene is gone forever! How sad and sad this will bring to the poet!
In addition, Su Shi is good at using the desolate and lonely atmosphere to set off his feelings. In ci, the poet created a desolate and lonely lyrical atmosphere for us. Whether it's the unreachable "lonely grave thousands of miles away" in the uptown or Leng Yue, which is "the low pine mountain on a moonlit night" in the lower city, it has created a bleak scene. In this context, two "heartbroken people" persist in saying "desolation" to unspeakable places, resulting in the contradiction between ideal and reality.
Su Shi's first poem is like a spring silkworm spinning silk, but also like a quiet mountain flowing spring. It comes from the poet's heart, without affectation and unprovoked behavior. Simple, natural and touching. There are both the deep and delicate traditional graceful words and the usual kind of weakness and elegance. It can be said that it is gentle and fresh, soft and not charming. After reading this word, it is hard for us to believe that this is the man with the copper pipa.
