works appreciation
There are many poems reflecting the love between men and women in Han Wo's Xiang Ji, which is the most widely circulated one. Its advantage lies in its delicate artistic conception and subtle brushwork.
What is displayed in front of the reader is a gorgeous and exquisite bedroom. The camera gradually moved from outdoor to indoor, passing through the withered front door, curtains at the door, screens inside the door and other obstacles, and gathered on an eight-foot big bed covered with Chinese alpine rush mats and brocade bedding. The "deep and curved" level shown in the structural layout of the room clearly tells readers that this is a young woman's gold embroidery worker in your family.
Outside the layout, what attracts readers' attention is multi-tone and dazzling colors. The green bar sill, scarlet painting screen, colorful embroidery on the door curtain and brocade luster on the quilt cover constitute a charming and warm atmosphere, which not only adds luxury to the bedroom, but also creates a suitable atmosphere for the protagonist's boudoir feelings. The protagonist has never appeared. She knows nothing about what she is doing and thinking. However, the broken branches carved on the red lacquer screen can't help but make people sigh that "flowers can be folded straight, so don't wait for no flowers to break branches" (witch's "Witch's Clothes"). In the face of this painting, it is impossible for the protagonist not to feel his lost years, but to compare and think about his great youth with the flowers in the painting, not to mention the time when the four seasons change in a year. The curtain hung low in front of the door, and bedding was added to the pole, indicating that the summer heat had gone and the autumn cool had just dropped. Such moments are most likely to arouse people's feelings about the passage of time, which will stir up waves in the hero's heart. At the end of the poem, the seasonal change of "it's cool but not cold" is pointed out with a heavy pen, which is certainly not unintentional. Under the contrast of bedding, brocade mattress and broken branches, the protagonist's desire for love in the loneliness of the boudoir is faintly visible.
There is not a word about "love" in the whole story, not even a word about "people". People's feelings are only rendered with the help of environmental scenery for readers to ponder. This kind of love poem with twists and turns and tactful brushwork is still rare in Tang poetry. ?
