Song of Everlasting Sorrow
Dynasty: Tang Dynasty
Author: Bai Juyi
Original text:
The Emperor of Han Dynasty paid great attention to color. The country is in ruins, and Yu Yu has not been able to ask for it for many years. There is a daughter in the Yang family who has just grown up. She is raised in a boudoir and no one knows her.
It’s hard to give up on natural beauty, and once you choose it, you will be on the side of the king. Looking back and smiling, the sixth palace has no color.
In the cold spring, bathe in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water will wash away the fat. The waiter helped her weakly, and it was the beginning of her new grace.
The flowers on the temples are swaying with golden steps, and the hibiscus tent warms the spring night. The spring night is short and the sun is high, and from now on the king will not go to court early.
There is no leisure for Cheng Huan to serve banquets, and he spends all his time traveling from spring to night. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and three thousand people love her.
The golden house is made up to serve as a charming servant at night, and the jade house is drunk and spring after the banquet. Sisters and brothers are all from the earth, poor and glorious.
This makes the hearts of parents all over the world not to be reborn as boys but as girls. The blue clouds are rising from the heights of Li Palace, and the wind of fairy music can be heard everywhere.
Slow singing, slow dancing, and silk and bamboo condensation, the king is not satisfied with it. Yuyang's flying dragon stirs the earth, shocking the colorful clothes and feathers.
Smoke and dust arose from the Jiuchong City Tower, and thousands of horses rode southwestward. The green flowers swayed and stopped, more than a hundred miles west of the capital.
The Sixth Army had no choice but to turn around and die in front of the horse. There is no one to collect the flowers and leaves on the ground, and the green buds and jade are scratching their heads.
The king hid his face and could not be saved. Looking back, blood and tears flowed. The yellow leaves are scattered in the wind, and the clouds linger in the sword pavilion.
There are few people walking at the foot of Mount Emei, and the flags are dull and the sun is thin. The water of the Shu River is green, the mountains of Shu are green, and the Holy Lord loves each other day and night.
Seeing the moon in the palace makes me sad, and hearing the sound of heartbroken bells in the rain at night. The sky spins and the earth turns back to Long Yu. He hesitates and cannot go.
In the soil at the foot of Mawei slope, there is no place where Yu Yan died. The monarch and his ministers looked after each other with all their clothes on, and looked eastward at the capital gate to return on horseback.
After returning, the ponds and gardens are still the same, with Taiye hibiscus and young willows. Hibiscus is like a face and willows are like eyebrows, how can I not shed tears about this.
The peach and plum blossoms bloom in the spring breeze, and the sycamore leaves fall in the autumn rain. There are many autumn grasses in the south of the West Palace, and the fallen leaves are full of red leaves that are not swept away. (Flower Blooming Day, one work: Flower Blooming Night; Nannei, one work: Nanyuan)
The disciples in the Liyuan have new white hair, and the prisoner Qing'e in the Jiao Fang is old. The fireflies in the evening palace are quietly thinking, and the solitary lamp has been used up before they can fall asleep.
The long night begins with bells and drums, and the stars are about to dawn. The mandarin duck tiles are frosty and heavy, and the emerald quilt is cold.
After so many years of separation between life and death, my soul never came to sleep. Linqiong Taoist priests from Hongdu can reach the soul with their sincerity.
In order to appreciate the king's thoughts, he taught the alchemists to search diligently. Empty and control the energy, it rushes like electricity, ascending to heaven and earth to seek everywhere.
The blue sky above and the yellow spring below are nowhere to be seen. Suddenly I heard that there was a fairy mountain on the sea. The mountain was in the ethereal place.
The exquisite pavilion is filled with five clouds, among which there are many fairies. One of them has a character called Tai Zhen, and his skin and appearance are all mixed.
Knock on the jade in the west chamber of the Golden Palace, and if you turn to the small jade, you will be rewarded with double success. Hearing that the Emperor of Han Dynasty envoys, the dream soul in Jiuhua tent is frightened.
Wandering around while holding clothes and pushing pillows, the silver screen of beads and foil spreads out. The hair on the temples is half fresh and sleeping, and the flower crown is not neat when I come out of the hall.
The wind blows and the fairy mantle is fluttering, just like the dancing of colorful clothes and feathers. The jade face is lonely and full of tears, and a branch of pear blossom brings rain in spring. (Lantong: column; Piaopiao, one work: Piaopiao)
Looking at the king with emotion, the voice and appearance are vague. Love is overwhelming in Zhaoyang Palace, and the sun and moon are long in Penglai Palace.
Turning back and looking down at the world, Chang'an is nowhere to be seen, but dust and mist. But I will express my affection for old things, and send my hairpin to the future.
Leave one strand of the hairpin and combine it into a fan; break the hairpin into gold and combine it into two pieces. But the teaching heart is as strong as gold, and we will meet in heaven and on earth.
I sent my farewell message again with sincerity, in which I vowed to know each other. On July 7th, in the Hall of Eternal Life, no one was whispering in the middle of the night.
In the sky, I wish to be a winged bird, and on the earth, I wish to be a twig. As time goes by, this hatred will last forever.
Appreciation of Bai Juyi's Poems
This long narrative poem narrates the tragic love story between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang Guifei. It is full of twists and turns and makes people cry. In December of the first year of Yuanhe (806), Bai Juyi was appointed as the captain of Yu (Zhouzhi) County (now Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province). When he visited Xianyou Temple with his friends Chen Hong, Wang Zhifu and others, he talked about this story. According to Wang Zhifu's suggestion, Bai Juyi wrote "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and Chen Hong wrote "Biography of Song of Everlasting Sorrow". According to Bai Juyi's "Bai's Changqing Collection and Yuan Jiu Shu": When I came to Chang'an again, I heard that Gao Xia, the military envoy, was staying in the house and wanted to hire a prostitute. The prostitute boasted: "How can I recite Bai Xueshi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" like that of a prostitute?" ’ Hence the price increase. Bai Juyi himself said in the poem "Collecting Clumsy Poems into Fifteen Volumes and Presenting the Play at the End of the Volume to Li Twenty-Nine of the Yuan Dynasty": One piece of Everlasting Regret has a style, and ten Qin chants are nearly true. .. Wealth and honor in the world should not be divided, but the articles behind you will be famous. Don't blame me for being angry and rude. I have compiled fifteen new volumes of poems.
This shows that the poem "Song of Everlasting Regret" was not only regarded as the final masterpiece by the poet, but also deeply appreciated by people of the time. It was recited by princes, concubines, cowboys, and Ma Zui (Yuan Zhen's "Preface to Bai Shi's Changqing Collection") , spread widely.
From the beginning to the end, which made the parents of the world feel that they were not reborn as boys and were reborn as girls, the poet mainly focused on the situation where Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty focused on sex and pleasure, the government was neglected, Yang Guifei was arrogant and favored, and the brothers and sisters were temporarily overweight. Satire, expose. Regarding Xuanzong, the first sentence emphasizes color and thinks of overthrowing the country, and emphasizing color means neglecting the country, which will inevitably lead to the overthrow of the country. The handsome king met the naturally beautiful daughter of the Yang family. The two got along day and night, spending good nights in the hibiscus tent, going out to enjoy the spring scenery in spring, and having banquets in the Jade Tower. Emperor Xuanzong spent all his energy and time on his concubine Yang, and also It will inevitably alienate his ministers and interfere with political affairs. The so-called spring night is short and the sun rises high. From then on, the king did not express this implicitly in the morning. Yang Yuhuan was originally the concubine of Xue Wang Li Mao, that is, Xuanzong's daughter-in-law. She was raised in a boudoir without anyone knowing it, which is a taboo statement against the emperor of this dynasty. As the leader of a country, Xuanzong disregarded the ethics of father and son in order to obtain a stunning beauty, which was disgusting enough. In addition, he neglected the government and ignored the people of the country. It goes without saying that Xuanzong was unethical. In a feudal society, Women are always in a position of being enslaved and at the mercy of others. Faced with the supreme monarch of the country, Yang Yuhuan cannot control her own destiny in any way. Her entry into the palace was passive and involuntary. But this woman, who was naturally beautiful and had a charming smile, became so arrogant after being favored by Xuanzong that all her sisters and brothers were awarded officials and rewards. Especially when her brother Yang Guozhong was the prime minister, he was domineering, harmed the country and the people, and made the people angry. great. This gorgeous woman from the Sixth Palace has degenerated into a arrogant, extravagant and lewd emperor's favorite concubine. At the same time, it also revealed that Emperor Xuanzong would do anything to satisfy her greed in order to win the favor of this charming woman. All these facts are not expressed too much, but they are used very implicitly to make the parents of the world feel that they are not reborn as men and are reborn as women, pointing out the situation in which the Yang family attained enlightenment alone, and chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. It can be seen that the poet intended to use this long poem to condemn and criticize Xuanzong's absurdity and the imperial concubine's arrogance. The title "Eternal Regret" contains this meaning.
From the heights of Li Palace to the blue clouds to the night rain and the sound of bells breaking, it tells the story of An Lushan's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's monarchs and ministers fleeing in embarrassment, and the hanging of Concubine Yang. Just as Xuanzong was indulging in singing and dancing, a sound of drums and drums came from Yuyang, which shocked the earth and interrupted the song of colorful clothes and feathers. It also awakened Li and Yang from the disillusionment of their dreams of eternal glory and wealth.
At the same time, the word "Jing Po" also implies that the Li Tang Dynasty, which was once prosperous, will never recover, and the prosperity of the past will forever become history.
In this section, the work gradually turns to sympathize with the unfortunate tragedy of Li Yang. They are both the makers of the tragedy and one of the direct sufferers of the tragedy. In the smoke and smoke of the war created by the rebels, The once extremely noble Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had to take Concubine Yang and other servants and concubines with him and fled to Xishu in a hurry. However, the more serious victims of this tragedy, the soldiers and civilians, were no longer silent. They demanded that the culprits who caused the disaster be punished. So Emperor Xuanzong, who was on the run, was forced to hang Yang Yuhuan to death in front of Mawei Slope. Yang actually served as Xuanzong's scapegoat. Her death was a tragedy for society. It was the environment of that era that led to her degradation and destruction.
In this sense, she is another sympathetic victim. Therefore, when the poet narrates her death, he describes it in a sympathetic tone.
From the Rotation of the Sky to the Dragon Control until the Soul Never Comes into Dreams describes Xuanzong's memory of his imperial concubine. As the king of a country, he was unable to save his beloved from death. When the rebellion was put down, he returned to Chang'an alone. Things have changed and people have changed. It is not difficult to imagine the misery and sadness. Passing through Mawei, I could see the hurt and unbearable pain; being alone in the old palace, missing the scenery and people, the pain was deep in my bones. These are all written in a touching, delicate and vivid way. After returning, the pond and garden are all the same. Taiye, Hibiscus and Weiyang Willow are written from the perspective of space, and the scene is sad and painful. The peach and plum blossoms are blooming in the spring breeze, and the leaves of the sycamore trees are falling in the autumn rain are written from the perspective of time. Express this profound lovesickness. As for the fireflies in the evening palace, they are quietly thinking about it, and the solitary lamp has been burned out before they can fall asleep. The long night with bells and drums and the dawn of the night uses details to express the emotions described above and portray Xuanzong's mentality from a more subtle perspective. It should be said that Tang Xuanzong's longing for Yang Yuhuan was not so much his longing for Yang Yuhuan as his regret that he had personally ruined his love and the life of the lover with whom he had vowed to be eternally united.
Linqiong Taoist's sentence comes to the end, describing the Taoist's profound expression of finding the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine in the fairy mountain. The heroine Yang Guifei in the poem is more successfully portrayed than Tang Xuanzong, and she obviously has more sympathy from the poet. In the first paragraph of the work, the poet introduces that this daughter of the Yang family has an appearance that will captivate the country and the city, and expresses it vividly with a look back and a charming smile. Although there are not many words, Yang Guifei's beautiful grace is displayed in the present. In this section, when the emperor of the Han Dynasty heard about the envoy, the dream soul in the Jiuhua tent was so frightened that the jade face was so lonely that she burst into tears. It shows her loneliness after losing Wei Jie. Among them, Yang Yuhuan's demeanor of making Yang Yuhuan sad and crying with vivid metaphors is particularly touching.
Coupled with the following description of the concubine's gaze and her affectionate vows, the image of a beautiful woman who has suffered major setbacks in love, but is also tenacious, persevering, and still pursuing is vividly displayed. . She is beautiful and yet so devoted. The poet uses romanticism to bring us to an illusory fairy mountain. There, the elegant Yang Yuhuan endured the loneliness of being far away from his relatives and met with the envoy sent by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. She is still so beautiful, but this beauty has turned from the original warmth to a coldness. Although she has been listed as a fairy, her love has not been broken, and the love of the past has taken root and bloomed in her soul: but it was the person she had been in love with that destroyed her love and life. Looking back at Chang'an shrouded in heavy fog, misery and sorrow permeated her heart. She gave the envoy half a hairpin and a folding fan as objects to express her affection, so that Xuanzong could remember the oath that only you and I knew, and the place and time when she made the oath. As long as she remembered these, Tang Xuanzong himself would never be able to Eliminate the hatred for yourself, just like Yang Yuhuan's hatred, and be with heaven and earth. As a successful image, Yang Yuhuan's vividness lies in the fact that his hatred for those who betray his true feelings grows stronger and truer!
The poem gradually changed from hating Li and Yang for their absurd ways that harmed the country, to expressing sympathy and lament for their tragedies. The author himself is a poet with rich inner feelings. As for "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" itself, it has been widely recited by people for thousands of years. The main reason is that two affectionate artistic images are created in the poem, as well as the love and affection between Li and Yang. The vivid depiction of its tragic ending can quite arouse tears of sympathy from future generations. Love is an eternal theme in literary and artistic works at home and abroad, both at home and abroad. Therefore, works that successfully describe love are particularly easy to move, influence, and purify people's hearts.
"Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is based on the love between an emperor and a noble lady. However, although the poet initially presented them as an emperor and a beauty who harmed the people, as the plot progresses, , the poet regards Li and Yang as ordinary people, two people with the same flesh and blood, emotions and desires as himself, two people who have sincere love. As a result, the original intention changed, and the hatred that the poet originally expressed on behalf of the suffering people gave way to the long-lasting hatred and regret between Li and Yang for their lover who rebelled against the North. The reason why this poem has been able to touch the heartstrings of people from emperors to common people, from ancient times to the present, for thousands of years is not to condemn Li and Yang for their absurdities and harming the country, but to express human beings' sincere attachment to true love. Pursue.
This is a tragedy, a tragedy that is unforgettable and regretful to readers of all ages. The actions of Li and Yang caused disaster to the country and the people, so the poet satirized and condemned them. For Li and Yang, this is another love tragedy full of blood and tears.
Tang Xuanzong sent Taoist priests overseas to look for the imperial concubine, not only out of his longing for the imperial concubine, but also as a way of atonement for his own sins. The poem highlights his regret. The imperial concubine's affectionate expression in the fairy mountain also showed her long-lasting regret for the premature death of her love with Xuanzong. The description of the love relationship between Li and Yang in the poem has a certain idealistic color. Narratives and scene descriptions are all filled with the poet's strong emotions. Only people with rich inner feelings can write such affectionate and touching poems. There is this passage in Chen Hong's "The Song of Everlasting Regret": The hostess raised a glass of wine in front of Lotte and said, "Lotte is deeper than poetry and more than love. How about a song?" ’ Only Bai Juyi, who is proficient in poetry, that is, has a profound research on the art of poetry and strong writing ability, and is good at love, that is, has a deep understanding of the love between men and women, can take on this important task. Generally speaking, the work makes some satire and expresses a certain degree of indignation about Li and Yang's absurd actions that harmed the country, but the main attitude of the work is sympathy.
This poem uses fantasy techniques on the basis of realism. The plot is bizarre, fascinating and full of romanticism. The author writes with emotion-filled pen and ink, making the image of an infatuated woman obsessed with love vividly appear on the page. Her extraordinary beauty, pitiful beauty, and deep love are enough to arouse readers' sympathy for her and deep regret for her love tragedy. Since she was so affectionate towards Xuanzong, people would naturally push her away. Maybe Tang Xuanzong also had a cute and affectionate side. People can't help but join the poet in turning from their aversion to Tang Xuanzong to sympathy for him, sighing for the tragedy of these two lovers. Along with Xuanzong's regret and Yang Guifei's regret, for thousands of years, readers, like the poet, have aroused endless regret. This is the main reason why "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" has been passed down through the ages.
Secondly, this poem uses scenery to describe feelings, and the scenery is seen in the feelings. This is a long narrative poem, full of emotions between the lines. In the author's writing, the expression of emotions is often integrated with the description of scenery. After the Mawei mutiny, Xuanzong went to Western Shu with infinite sadness. The yellow leaves were scattered in the wind, and the clouds lingered on the sword pavilion. On the endless loess plateau, the bleak autumn wind stirred up the wind and sand in the sky, and the sky was dim and the earth was dark. This is a realistic depiction. The Loess Plateau in autumn is designed to set off Xuanzong's lonely and desolate state of mind, which can be said to be both virtual and real. There are few people walking at the foot of Mount Emei, the flags are dim and the sun is thin, the palace looks sad when seeing the moon, and when it rains at night and hears the sound of broken bells, one is moved into the scenery. The scenes blend together, and Xuanzong's heart is sad. So the scenery he saw seemed bleak and heartbreaking. Similar descriptions are very poetic and have strong appeal.
The psychological portrayal of the characters in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" can be said to have reached a superb level. For example, it is written that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was infatuated with Yang Yuhuan's beauty. Although he had no time to attend the banquet, he went out all night in the spring, and stayed together day and night, but the spring night was short and the day was high. The word "bitter" here is penetrating. It depicts Li Yang's decadent mentality of having fun, drunkenness and dreams; blue clouds appear from the heights of Li Palace, and fairy music can be heard everywhere.
Slow singing, slow dancing, silk and bamboo, the emperor couldn't see enough of it all day long, and the three words "not enough" further described Tang Xuanzong's absurd psychology of lust and lust; the Sixth Army in front of Maweipo asked Yang Yuhuan to be executed, Helpless, the sentence "The king hides his face and cannot be saved" describes Tang Xuanzong's extremely contradictory mood at this time. The word "hiding his face", a single detail, successfully demonstrates Tang Xuanzong's hatred for Yang Yuhuan who could not bear to see her die. She also had a complicated psychology of not wanting her to die; when Concubine Yang heard that the emperor's envoys had arrived at the Fairy Mountain, she first wandered around with her clothes on her pillow, and then came down from the hall with her flower crown in disarray. This wandering describes the doubts and hesitations she felt when she first heard the good news. The undecided mentality; when a person comes to the hall, he writes about his eagerness to see his relatives. It is through these meticulous psychological depictions that the images in the poem are introverted, implicit, and lifelike. The refinement of these details rich in psychological characteristics not only successfully displays the inner world of the characters, but also effectively promotes the development of the tragic story, making tragedy latent in the inevitable logic of the development of things.
The language of "Song of Everlasting Regret" is beautiful, harmonious, tactful and smooth, giving full play to the characteristics of the song style. It is lingering and pathos to read, and it is soul-stirring, showing the poet's extraordinary ability to control language.
