This poem is very artistic;
First, he combined the singer and the singer's thoughts and feelings, saying that you are talking about me and I am talking about you. Fates are the same and closely related. After the lute girls narrated their life experiences, the poet thought that they were "neither of us is happy-forever old"; After the poet told her life story, the pipa girl was "... moved by what I said, and she stood there for a while". After the pipa girl played another song, the poet was even more "this Jiujiang official. My blue sleeves are wet. " Intimate friends are touching everywhere, and there is love everywhere.
Secondly, the technique of writing scenery and music in the poem is superb, closely combined with writing life experiences and expressing sadness, and the atmosphere is consistent, so that the work is immersed in a sad and sad atmosphere from beginning to end.
Thirdly, the language of the work is vivid, strong in generalization and simple and flexible, so the whole poem is well-known and easy to recite.
What can you hear here in the morning and evening? The cuckoo's bleeding cry, the ape's sobbing. How to understand cuckoo crying?
The cuckoo cries for blood is an allusion. It is said that Du Yu, the monarch of the ancient Shu kingdom, was also called Wang Di. He was forced by courtiers to flee to the mountains. After his death, he was worried and became a bird, called cuckoo. He cried all day, even his mouth was bleeding, and the blood flowed to the flowers, which were azaleas. In ancient poetry, the cuckoo is a sad bird, but whenever the heart is sad, it is often expressed by this bird, so whenever the cuckoo appears, it is expressing a kind of sadness.
In fact, the cuckoo is a cuckoo, because its sound "cuckoo", like "Hu Bugui", has become a symbol of homesickness.
Anyway, the cuckoo is a sad bird, full of sadness.
What do you mean by the cuckoo's bleeding cry and the ape's whimper?
This sentence comes from Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip, which is Bai Juyi's description of his miserable life in Xunyang and the singer's self-report after listening to the song. The original text is "what do you want to hear here sooner or later?" ? The cuckoo bleeds, the ape whimpers. " It is intended to contrast the beautiful timbre of pipa with the cries of cuckoo and ape, and it is also Bai Juyi's self-mockery of his unfortunate situation. The "blood-weeping cuckoo" refers to a kind of devoted bird, which will not stop moaning until vomiting blood after the death of its spouse. The image of "cuckoo weeping for blood" was used by the ancients in poetry, and it was often used to render a sad atmosphere, praise steadfast love, or accuse reality. "The Wuxia Gorge of the Three Gorges in Badong is long, and the apes cry three times and the tears stick to their skirts." It refers to the apes on both sides of the Three Gorges, whose cries are piercing and persistent, making travelers miss their homeland and cry. Li Bai once expressed his joy in a sad tone. "The apes on both sides of the strait don't cry, but the canoe has crossed Chung Shan Man.". However, this cannot change its own tragic intention. ! !
What is the last sentence of "cuckoo's bleeding cry, ape's whimper"?
What can you hear here in the morning and evening? The cuckoo's bleeding cry, the ape's sobbing.
Pipa tour
Year:? Don? Author:? Bai Juyi
In the evening, I bid farewell to a guest on Xunyang River. Maple leaves and mature rushes rustle in autumn.
I, the host, have dismounted, my guest has boarded his boat, and we raise our cups, hoping to drink-but, alas, there is no music.
Although we drank a lot of wine, we were not happy. When we were leaving each other, the river mysteriously widened in the direction of the full moon.
We heard a sudden sound, a guitar crossed the water, the host forgot to go home and the guests left.
We followed the melody, asked the player's name, and the voice was interrupted ... and then she reluctantly answered.
We moved the boat closer to hers, invited her to join us, and summoned more wine and lanterns to start our party again.
However, before she came to us, we called a thousand times and urged her for a thousand times, but she still hid half of her face behind her guitar from us.
... she turned the tuning pin and tested several strings, and even before she played, we could feel her feelings.
Every string is a kind of meditation, and every note is a kind of deep thinking, as if she were telling us the pain of her life.
She frowned and bent her fingers, then started her music and talked about endless things in your heart.
Take your time, first the air in the rainbow skirt, then the six small ones.
Big strings hum like rain, and small strings whisper like secrets.
Humming, whispering-and then mixing together, like pouring large and small pearls into a plate of jade.
Between Guan Ying's words, the bottom of the flower is slippery, and spring water flows along the beach.
By checking its cold touch, the string seems to be broken, which makes us never stop.
The depth of sadness and the hiding of sadness are more told in silence than in voice.
A silver vase suddenly burst, pouring out a stream of water, jumping out of the conflict and blow between armored horses and weapons.
Before she put down the pick, her stroke was over, and all four strings made a sound, just like tearing silk.
The east ship was silent, and the west ship was silent. We saw the white autumn moon entering the river.
Put it on the strings thoughtfully, straighten clothes and gather customers.
Tell us how she spent her girlhood in the capital and lived in her parents' house in Toad Hill.
She mastered the guitar at the age of thirteen, and her name ranked first in the list of musicians.
Song often teaches excellent talents, and her beauty is the envy of all the leading dancers.
How did the aristocratic youths in Wuling compete generously? Countless red silks were given to a song.
And the blood color of the skirt was stained by wine, China.
Season after season, joy followed, and neither the autumn moon nor the spring breeze attracted her attention.
My brother joined the army and my aunt died. Night after night passed and her beauty disappeared.
There were fewer and fewer cars and horses in front of the door, and finally she married herself to a businessman.
Who, first of all, stole money, accidentally left her and went to Fuliang to buy tea a month ago.
Go to Jiangkou to watch the boat in the air, and the moon sails around the boat in cold water.
Sometimes in the middle of the night, she dreams of her victory and is awakened from her dream by her hot tears.
Her first guitar note made me sigh. Now, after listening to her story, I feel even sadder.
We were all unhappy until the end of the day, when we met. We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? .
A year ago, I left the capital and came here. Now I am a sick Jiujiang exile.
Jiujiang is so far away that I haven't heard music, neither strings nor bamboo sounds for a whole year.
I live in a small town near the river, which is low and humid. Huang Lu bitter bamboo is born around the house.
What can you hear here in the morning and evening? The cuckoo's bleeding cry, the ape's sobbing.
I often pick up the wine and drink it alone in the spring morning with flowers and the autumn night with moonlight shining.
Of course, there are folk songs and bagpipes in the village, but they are rough and harsh, and they are harsh in my ears.
Tonight, when I heard you playing the guitar, I felt that my hearing was illuminated by wonderful music.
Don't leave us. Come, sit down. Play it for us again. I will write a Long song about guitar. ..
... she was moved by my words, stood there for a while, and then sat down to play her strings-they sounded even sadder.
Although the tune was different from what she had played before, all the listeners covered their faces.
But which of them cried the most? , this Jiujiang officer. My blue sleeves are wet.

These two words are that prostitutes are old and faded, the world is cold, the door is cold, there are fewer and fewer cars and horses, and they have no choice but to become the wife of businessmen. It is sympathetic to describe the bitter life experience of pipa girls in a lyrical style.

Long before the poet's death, it was already "the boy explained the Song of Eternal Sorrow" and Hu Er could sing Pipa Xing. Since then, it has been told at home and abroad, showing a strong artistic vitality. The first two of these four sentences are about the exquisiteness of playing pipa, such as showers and whispers; The last two sentences mean that the pipa mixes the noisy sounds of big strings and small strings, and the strings are coherent and varied. Its sound is like pearls of different sizes pouring into a jade plate, which is fascinating and intoxicating! The poet described various musical images with colorful and ingenious metaphors, which were superb and lifelike. The use of disyllabic and disyllabic reduplicated words strengthens the pleasure of hearing and the rhythm, and highlights the euphemistic and beautiful musical beauty of poetry.
Season after season, Joey keeps coming? Autumn Moon Spring Breeze ① Idle ②
1 autumn moon spring breeze: a metaphor for beautiful youth. ?
2 Idle: Spend it easily and casually.
These two sentences mean that the pipa girl told her own life story, and her former career as a prostitute easily and casually killed her youth in joy. Looking back on the past and thinking about the present, I feel infinite regret and regret.
-Quoted from Appreciation of Tang Poetry edited by Li Jizhou.
Note: Ganpukou: the place where sweet water enters the Yangtze River. Xunyang River: A section of the Yangtze River north of Jiuzhu City. Gathering, twisting, wiping and plucking are all fingering of playing the pipa. Nishang: short for colorful feather clothes; Sixth, the real name "Lu Yao", that is, musicians recorded the main points of songs into music, all of which were popular tunes in Beijing that year.
Brief analysis: By writing about the misfortune of Pipa girl's life, combined with the poet's own blow on her official career, she sang the voice that "we are both unhappy-we meet each other forever". We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? ”。 Social unrest, the indifference of the world, sympathy for the fate of the unfortunate, and feelings of frustration are all poured into the poem. Its artistic success also lies in the use of beautiful and distinctive language with musical sense, and the use of visual images to express the feelings gained by hearing; The natural scenery and parting of the bleak autumn wind make the work more touching.
In the tenth year of Yuanhe, Bai Juyi was named Jiangzhou Sima because of his outspoken admonition against powerful people. He was full of depression and had nowhere to vent. In the autumn of the following year, on the occasion of seeing the guests off at Songpukou, she described the unfortunate experience of the pipa girl and expressed her infinite sadness about her own suffering and strong indignation at the dark politics. Line is a genre of Yuefu ancient poetry. The whole poem is full of twists and turns, and its length is grand. Just like another masterpiece of the poet, Song of Eternal Sorrow, this is an immortal work handed down from generation to generation. After Bai Juyi's death, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote poems in memory of him, including the phrase "The Boy Interprets the Song of Eternal Sorrow, and Hu Er can sing Pipa Xing", which was widely circulated at that time. ?
This poem can be divided into three paragraphs. The first paragraph, from the beginning to "the east ship is silent, the west ship is silent, and I can only see the white river and the autumn moon", describes my accidental meeting with the pipa girl and her exquisite pipa playing skills. The poet saw him off at Jiangtou, and the autumn wind was bleak and desolate. The host and guest were all drunk and unhappy when they said goodbye. In fact, they are more worried about drinking. At this moment, I suddenly heard the faint sound of pipa playing, and the host and guest attracted each other. From describing a friend's farewell to eliciting the sound of pipa and encouraging women to play pipa, the transfer is extremely natural and ingenious. At the same time, it also shows from the side that the acting skills of pipa players are extraordinary. Next, describe the appearance of the artist. First, the word "voice is broken ... and then she reluctantly replied that the word" and "late" showed that the pipa artist was hesitant, which seemed to have hidden reasons, and then "however, we called for a thousand times and urged her to start coming towards us, still hiding half of her face behind her guitar". The latter sentence describes the woman's shyness very vividly and skillfully, which is a famous sentence from ancient times to the present. At the same time, it implies that this is an unfortunate artist who has gone through many hardships. Sure enough, after tuning, "every string meditates once, every note meditates once, as if she were telling us about the dull pain of her life", and the string sound is low, as if the player deliberately hides and suppresses his inner feelings. Every string makes a deep and melancholy sound, and every sound contains infinite sadness. This paves the way for describing the unfortunate life experience of the pipa girl later. The poem begins with the demo of the pipa girl, and leads the reader into a beautiful situation step by step. Her acting skills are exquisite, and the poet described her skills in two sentences: "She frowned and bent her fingers, and then started her music" and "She brushed the strings, twisted them slowly, swept them and plucked them". Because they are well-trained, although they are played by alphabetic hands, they are all in line with the rhythm, and their playing skills can be described as perfect. The poet then vividly described the beauty of pipa sound and the change of rhythm with complex, coherent, appropriate and beautiful metaphors. It's raining, whispering, pearls falling on the jade plate, bottom flowers chirping, and clear springs flowing under the ice. A series of subtle metaphors seem to make readers feel there. As for the slow pause of the music like an ice spring, the climax of the bursting of a silver bottle at the beginning, the protrusion of an iron horse and the sound of tears at the end of the song, each sentence is a novel and appropriate metaphor. Among them, "like pearls pouring into a plate of jade" not only makes people want to see the crisp sound, but also makes people experience the feeling that the music is as round as pearls. Finally, the poem ends with "the east ship is silent, the west ship is silent, and we see the white autumn moon entering the middle of the river", which shows the moving effect of music and makes people intoxicated with the artistic atmosphere created by playing pipa. ?
In the second paragraph, from "she stood up and tidied up her clothes, formal and polite" to "sometimes in the middle of the night, she would dream of her victory and be awakened from her dream by her boiling tears", Pipa confessed her painful experience and current misfortune. Judging from her story, she used to be an artist with excellent colors and arts. When I was young, Wuling was young, and rich children rushed to give gifts to Zhatouhua. At that time, she was wearing a silver grate, clapping her hands when singing and dancing, and her upper body trembled. Sometimes her jewelry fell to the ground and broke. Or wear a red bloody skirt and have fun with teenagers every day. I don't think the wine spilled and the skirt was dirty, and I don't feel too sorry. Spring flowers and autumn moon, beautiful scenery, day after day, year after year. However, the glory is fleeting, the appearance is easy to get old, and an old and faded artist is no longer around. She was abandoned by those rich children like a broken toy. "Cold pommel horse in front of the door" is a portrayal of many song and dance artists, including pipa girls, in feudal times. So she had to end her "finally married a businessman" and pin the rest of her life on a businessman. However, can an old artist who has lost his beauty and beauty tie the heart of a businessman who values profit over emotion? Therefore, "whoever instigated the money first accidentally dumped her", men left home to do business, and women stayed alone in the empty boudoir, which became their inevitable result. Her desire to get married and find a home to comfort her soul failed again. The poet said, "Sometimes in the middle of the night, she will dream of her victory and be awakened from her dream by boiling tears." Think about it every day, and you will dream at night. The so-called "sudden dream" is not accidental. "Dream crying" is also the reappearance of daytime emotions. Recalling the bitter past and facing the painful experience now, she couldn't help crying. ?
In the preface, the poet said: "Being an official for two years makes you feel at ease; It can be felt from people's words that this is the beginning of the night. "The last paragraph of the poem is from the singer's humiliation and demotion. Poets and lesbians are "the depraved at the end of the world". Both of them have unique skills and extraordinary talents, but they have been treated unfairly and abandoned and strangled by the feudal system. This poem strongly expresses the poet's grief and indignation at his unfortunate demotion and his hard-won ambition. " Neither of us is happy-eternity is old. When we met, why did we meet? "It is discussed in the narrative, which contains unforgettable philosophical chapters and has been widely read for thousands of years." What can you hear here in the morning and evening? ? The description of two images, cuckoo's cry of blood and ape's whimper, cuckoo's cry of blood and ape's wail, just shows the poet's feeling of missing his hometown because of the scenery. Next, the flute "Jiujiang is so far away, I can't hear music, neither strings nor bamboo, for a whole year" in the folk song village was played by Kujiu alone, which strongly exaggerated the pain and misfortune of living in Xunyang and formed a strong contrast with the singer's pipa Yue Xian. Finally, with the second performance of the pipa girl, the poet's tears wet the blue. The so-called "banquet, all listen, cover their faces" is a touching description of the music effect, is a detailed description of the second paragraph of pipa performance, and "this Jiujiang official. My blue sleeves are wet "is a description of" neither of us is happy-to grow old forever "with the poet's most tears. From the singer's misfortune, she felt sorry for her demotion, and pushed herself to others, crying not only for the unfortunate life experience of Pipa girl, but also for her own ambition. Blue shirt: the official uniform worn by officials of the Eighth and Ninth Dynasties in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the author was Jiangzhou Sima, a five-product official, with a light red color. It is said that blue is intended to express a person's depraved identity. Hong Mai, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said, "Readers admire Bai Letian's poem Pipa Xing, but they respect its charm and lyrics more. The shape of Yuefu lacked singing, so I thought it was really made by Chang 'an. Lotte means writing the hatred of the end of the world. " This passage points out the theme of the poem, but as far as the ideological content of the whole poem is concerned, the poem also shows the poet's sincere sympathy for a female artist at the bottom of society. Her fate was tragic and unfortunate, and the poet was expelled from Beijing. Although her social status is different, she has not been reused because of her talent, and even reduced to the ends of the earth. This is the same. Therefore, the poet will be "full of the feeling of moving away, expressing it by the wife of a businessman, meaning that he is in the same boat." " ?
The whole poem describes in detail the excellent performance of the pipa girl, and her unfortunate experience aroused the poet's strong voice; The poet's misery and relegated life also deeply touched the hearts of female artists. They are "we are both unhappy-we live far apart", so it is easy to sympathize with each other and pity each other, resulting in emotional communication. It is with rich emotional brushstrokes that the poet tells stories, depicts scenes and portrays characters, thus successfully shaping two completely different artistic images: the pipa girl and the poet. ?
The description of pipa girl is particularly excellent. I was proud of the spring breeze in my early years, left out in front of middle-aged people, and lived alone in my later years. Her unfortunate experience is very typical. At the same time, the artistic image created by the poet is full of personality characteristics. Her beauty when she was young, her versatility, her tragic life experience, and her shame and sadness in The Guitar Still Hides Half Face in front of Us are all different. This image embodies the unity of individuality and * * *. Judging from the structure of the poem, the story described in this poem is not complicated, but with the help of the poet's superb artistic skills, the plot arrangement is ups and downs and patchwork; The material is cut carefully and properly. The descriptions of two pipa performances, the first splashing ink, the second golden, the first written in reality and the second written in nothingness, have achieved amazing artistic effects. In terms of language, the language of poetry is simple and plain, fluent and natural, with harmonious rhythm and rich musical beauty. Poems in Tang and Song Dynasties call this poem "a poem with profound meaning, implication and significance, a sad tone and a departure from one's own words", which is exactly the same as Du Fu's "Watching Gong Sundaniang's disciples dance swords". For thousands of years, it has been loved by people.
What do you hear here every morning and evening? The cuckoo's bleeding cry, the ape's sobbing.
What will be heard here sooner or later? Full of sad cries of cuckoo apes.

Extended data
Main idea of the article:
This poem reveals the unreasonable phenomena such as bureaucratic corruption, the decline of people's livelihood and the burying of talents in feudal society by describing the superb playing skills and unfortunate experiences of the pipa girl, expressing the poet's deep sympathy for her and the poet's resentment at her innocent demotion.
The author's achievements:
Bai Juyi's leisurely poems have a great influence on later generations. His simple language style and indifferent and leisurely mood have been praised repeatedly. However, in contrast, the "leisure" thought of retiring from politics and being content with peace, and the attitude of returning to Buddhism and imitating Tao Yuanming in these poems have far-reaching influence because they are more in line with the psychology of later literati.
Bai Juyi inherited the tradition of "beauty and beauty" since the Book of Songs, and attached importance to the realistic content and social function of poetry. Emphasize the role of poetry in exposing and criticizing political abuses. He put forward a series of principles in the method of poetry expression. In "Nine Books with the Same Origin", he put forward the famous realistic creation principle that "articles should be written in time, and songs and poems should be written for things".
His poetic theory is of progressive significance for urging poets to face up to reality and care about people's livelihood. It has also had an important influence on the poetic style that has gradually paid attention to form since Dali. However, overemphasizing the subordination of poetry creation to the needs of real politics will inevitably constrain the artistic creation of poetry and the diversification of poetry styles.
What do you mean by the cuckoo's bleeding cry and the ape's whimper?
"Cuckoo's bleeding cry, ape's whimper" means full of cuckoo's ape's plaintive cry. From Bai Juyi's Pipa Journey in the Tang Dynasty, the poet made great efforts to create an image of a pipa girl, which profoundly reflected the tragic fate of musicians and artists in feudal society who were insulted and damaged, and expressed the feeling that "neither of us is happy-we will grow old forever".
Excerpt from the original:
Her first guitar note made me sigh. Now, after listening to her story, I feel even sadder.
We were all unhappy until the end of the day, when we met. We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? !
A year ago, I left the capital and came here. Now I am a sick Jiujiang exile.
Jiujiang is so far away that I haven't heard music, neither strings nor bamboo sounds for a whole year.
My residence is near the town by the river, low and humid, and the house is surrounded by bitter reeds and yellow rushes.
What can you hear here in the morning and evening? ? The cuckoo's bleeding cry, the ape's sobbing.
I often pick up the wine and drink it alone in the spring morning with flowers and the autumn night with moonlight shining.
Of course, there are folk songs and bagpipes in the village, but they are rough and harsh, and they are harsh in my ears.
Tonight, when I heard you playing the guitar, I felt that my hearing was illuminated by wonderful music.
Don't leave us. Come, sit down. Play it for us again. Translate the travel notes of pipa for you.
Translation:
I shook my head and sighed when I heard the pipa, and it was even more embarrassing to hear her speak.
They are also poor people who are reduced to the end of the world. Why do you ask if you have met when you meet today?
I have been ill since I left the prosperous capital Chang 'an last year and was demoted to live by Xunyang River.
Xunyang is a desolate and remote place, without music, and you can't hear the orchestra all the year round.
Living near Ganjiang River, low-lying and humid, around the yard, try to plant some Huang Wei and bitter bamboo.
What can you hear here sooner or later? Full of sad cries of cuckoo apes.
The riverside flowers are as beautiful as a moonlit night in Qiu Jiang, so there is no alternative but to drink wine alone.
Are there no folk songs and village flutes here? It's just hoarse and harsh.
Listening to the music you play with the pipa tonight is like listening to the fairy sound in the sky, and my ears suddenly become open.
Please don't refuse to sit down and play another song. I want to write a new poem "Pipa" for you.
The full text takes the characters as clues, not only writing the life experience of the pipa girl, but also writing the poet's feelings, and then meeting in the second sentence of "We are all unhappy-to the end of the day". The singer's tragic experience is very specific and can be regarded as a bright line; The poet's feelings permeate between the lines, and with the constant changes of the music played by the pipa girl and her life experience, it can be regarded as a dark line. This one is bright and dark, one is real and one is empty, which makes the plot ups and downs. The story it tells is tortuous and touching, and the emotion it expresses can arouse people's voices. The language is beautiful but not flashy, refined but not obscure, the content is close to life and has a wide range of sociality, elegance and popularity.
