Li Shangyin's Untitled Four Poems (Ⅱ)

The wind in the east wind, the rain in the wind, the rain in the wind, the sound of light thunder came from the other side outside the lotus pond.

There is also a locked golden toad incense burner. Cigarettes are elegantly wrapped, like pulleys in a jade pot, and the traction rope is pumped into the well water.

Wang Wei dreamed that she was a beautiful young girl. Wang Wei had a pillow dream and wrote a poem.

Never mind the flowers, even this bright flame of love, is it only ashes? .

This is the second poem in the series "Four Untitled Poems". If the first song is about a man's longing for the woman he loves who is far away from the world, then this song is about the disappointment and pain that the woman he loves is locked in a secluded room and it is difficult to see his sweetheart as scheduled. Peng Shanchang, with many barriers, misses my hatchback. A kind of love, such as spring flowers, can't be restrained and has to burn in loneliness.

She has lived in the boudoir for many days, and the heavy barriers make it difficult for her to leave, so the secret date she had already booked with her sweetheart was eagerly shattered. Now, the east wind is rustling, the rain is raining, and spring is coming. Looking out the window at the beautiful scenery of the breeze, her restless and lonely heart tortured by love sprouted new hope. Although the date has been ruined, the ripples of love are still rippling. A strong feeling of missing comes to mind. The spring breeze is long and the spring rain is continuous. Where is he? Suddenly, in the lotus pond not far away, there was a faint sound of a car, and she was overjoyed, not to mention that he came. However, if you listen carefully, it is not the sound of cars, but the slight thunder. The momentary joy brought by the illusion disappeared immediately, and she fell into confusion and depression again. Here, the poet started with the method of Fu, and only described the environmental atmosphere. But in the mild rain, the lotus is as light as thunder, and there is indeed a breath of life sprouting, and this breath is shrouded in a bleak color. This naturally sets off the heroine's longing for love and the desire to jump, as well as the loneliness and depression that is difficult to get rid of. The images conveyed by such images mainly come from suggestive poetic language. The drizzle of the east wind will naturally remind people of the classic of Dream Rain (Song Yu's Gao) and the poem "The east wind falls and the rain falls, and the soul lingers" in South Song. A feeling of longing and yearning for love in loneliness naturally arises spontaneously. The "lotus pond" in the next sentence is often used as a synonym for the place where men and women get together to express their feelings in previous poems. "Light thunder" refers to the sound of cars in Sima Xiangru's "Longmen Fu". The author's own poems also include "Your shy face will stare at the moon-shaped fan. Will your voice be heard in the creak of my carriage?" (Two Untitled Poems). Although these scenes are just ordinary scenes, they show the extreme pain of thinking of each other, and this kind of affection can only be realized through association, as Ji Yun said in the Qing Dynasty: "Two sentences are wonderful and far-reaching, incomprehensible and metaphorical." ("Yu Xi Shi Sheng said")

If the boudoir is locked again, it can't lock the budding heart; The light drizzle evokes the pursuit of love. After painful thinking and choice, she strengthened her confidence in pursuing love. She stubbornly believes that if love is a burning incense mist, then it should break through the lock of the golden toad and penetrate into the heavy door; Or, like a jade tiger pulling a string, no matter how deep the well is, it is necessary to pull the water up. "Golden toad" is a decoration on the lock that looks like a toad. "Jade Tiger" is an inoue tiger-shaped pulley decorated with jade. "Wire" refers to well cable. There are many notes on these two poems, and Zhu Yizun's notes are more in line with the original intention. He said: "although the lock is strong, the fragrance can penetrate it;" Although the well is deep, it is within reach. " Mr. Zhou's Selected Works of Li Shangyin once quoted a passage from Qian Zhongshu's Xie Feng Zhu Yu Xi Sheng Shi to explain the sentence "Golden Cicada", which was the most thorough and thorough. Mr. Qian said:

The sentence of "Golden Toad" should be read together with the first poem of Yishan's "Play with Friends": "Diligence should not make the fragrance penetrate, and alloy fish lock the osmanthus flowers", "Uncle Ying bid farewell to the northeast building" and "Lock the fragrance and bow with gold", which means that although the defense is strict, the news will eventually be passed on, and you should do it if you want, without worrying about locking the door or toads. Zhao Lingzhi's Night Cry: "slam the door without locking the dream, and travel around the world at will", Feng Menglong's Folk Songs, Volume II, Heart: "Lang has a heart, my sister has a heart ... Luo is afraid of other people's houses. There are thousands of eyes in many people and thousands of doors in many houses! " The feet match each other. An ancient Greek poet said, "Tempting a beautiful woman is like smoke coming in from a window." "Zhao Yu New Knowledge" contains Zhang Sheng's "Flowers Slow in the Rain": "It is better to fly into the house than to fight for cigarettes!" Shakespeare's poem: "Although beauty is imprisoned, love can finally open it." These seven words are included.

The two poems contain rich and profound contents. First of all, I expressed a sincere desire to realize my ideal. Even if the golden toad is locked and the jade tiger goes down the well, the original intention of love will not change! Just like burning incense in a well, persistent pursuit will surely achieve the goal of happiness. Secondly, it also sets off the lonely scene of secluded women and the long-lost boredom and the melancholy of spring. She lives alone, and "burning incense" and "pumping wells" represent her life. And these, from time to time affect her lovesickness. "Xiang" and "Si" are homophonic for "Xiang" and "Si", which means that she is locked in the spring and her fate is sad, but she is unwilling to be lonely inside, and the tide of longing for spring is always surging.

"Once, a great lady, from behind the screen, favored a poor young man. Once, a fairy-like woman, a prince of Weiyi Wang, brought a wedding mat and disappeared." Two words: Jia Fu's girl peeped behind the curtain and admired Han Shou's youth and handsomeness; Zhen Fei deeply recommended the pillow mat, which is a literary talent that loves Cao Zhi. This is the heroine's inner enlightenment and monologue after self-awakening, and it is also an irresistible natural law of human ecology. These two sentences borrowed two love stories. The sentence is about Jia Chong's daughter and Han Shou. According to Shi Shuo Xin Yu, Jin and Han Shourong are outstanding in appearance, and Minister Jia Chong appointed him as his subordinate. Every time Jia Chong gets together, Jia Chong's second daughter hides behind the curtain to watch. Once she caught a glimpse of Han Shou behind the curtain. She fell in love with him, so she had sex with him and gave Han Shou the exotic fragrance of the Western Regions that the emperor gave to Jia Chong. Later, her colleagues heard that Han Shou had a strange smell, so Jia Chong found out about it and she married her second daughter to Han Shou. The antithesis is about Empress Zhen and Cao Zhi. Shan Li recorded in Selected Works of Luoshen that Cao Zhi, the king of Wei Dong, proposed to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao promised to betroth Zhen Shi to Cao Pi. Later, Zhen Shi was hanged. Cao Pi gave her relic jade belt pillow to Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi felt sad when he saw it. When he left Beijing for home and passed through Luoshui, he dreamed of Hou Zhen and said to him, "I trusted the king, but his heart failed." This pillow was married when I was at home, from the former commander of the five senses (Cao Pi) to the present king. Then I used a pillow, and I was very happy. "Cao Zhi felt sorry for God, and wrote" Feeling True Fu ",which was read by Wei Mingdi and changed to" Luo Shen Fu ". According to legend, Fu's daughter drowned in Luoshui and was honored as Luoshen, so she called Luoshen a virgin. These two poems use two love stories, which are cleverly connected. "Burning incense" leads Jia to peep at the curtain and give incense to him; From "matchmaking" to "pillow-back Zhen", the love affair continues, and the connection between the front and the back seems to be irrelevant, but in fact it is broken, which finds an emotional fit for two concentrated objective stories. Explain that the irresistible pursuit of love is normal and reasonable. This ingenious thinking without trace is the result of the poor management of the poet in his artistic creation. Li Shangyin, a scholar representative of the new scholar class, is influenced by the social trend of thought that urban economy is more open and free, and also has a tendency to despise feudal patriarchal clan system, pursue freedom, respect nature, enjoy himself and be chic and free. In his book Don't Hu Ling, he once said:

Nowadays, when a man marries a woman, his mother-in-law will wish him: "Good fit!" " Then wish: "Fan Xi!" Born to be a woman, the secluded room is close to sleep, and the neighbors can't know each other. Brothers can meet at the right time. Do what you want, regardless of your life. That is, you can get married one day, so what kind of man should you choose? The most famous family in Shandong today can't go against nature, but it's not! For their part, some people don't ask about Jian Xiao's disease, but only talk about wealth and commodities. It's a woman. Who doesn't hate it? The same is true of being a mother. Is there a man and a woman whose nature is greater than this? This is still the case today. What's more, he gave up outsiders, and Yansheng raised more and more, but they rescued each other and refused to betray each other?

These remarks emphasize that "nature" cannot be "violated"; He criticized the old marriage of buying and selling, and expressed strong indignation at the vulgar custom of keeping women in "quiet rooms and sleeping in secret" and keeping them under strict guard. This idea is consistent with the natural and unstoppable pursuit of love revealed by "a great lady once favored a poor young man from behind the screen, and a fairy queen once brought a wedding mat for the comfort of the prince and then disappeared". For the pursuit of love, this is the eternal natural law of mankind, and no force can resist it. It is still difficult to restrain the form of "golden toad lock"; "Jade Tiger tie wire" is a spiritual sustenance that can never be eliminated.

However, the law belongs to the law, and acacia belongs to acacia. After all, the imprisonment of reality is difficult to break through at the moment. Waiting for her, it is still an indefinite meeting, "the secret room", and finally the weak woman can't escape the tragic ending. She was desperate. She thought that beautiful spring, drizzle, birds and flowers, and lovesickness could come true. Unexpectedly, the result was repeated pursuits and repeated disappointments. Finally, the hope brought by spring is completely shattered: "The desire for love is endless. Even this bright flame of love is only ashes?" "Love Chun Qing, don't win glory with Chunhua, you know, an inch of acacia will melt into an inch of ashes! This famous sentence through the ages, with strange words, heavy brushwork and sad beauty. It is the heroine Acacia who is locked in a secluded room, full of expectation for love, and gives a hopeless cry of pain and thirst. Among them, there are both disillusioned sadness and strong indignation and injustice caused by being suppressed and tortured. On the surface, she is desperate. "Fanggen interrupted her sweetheart and died" (Li Shangyin's Four Winter Poems in Yantai), and "Spring Heart" turned to dust; But she didn't give in in her bones. That kind of "Chun Qing" has always been there-"* * * flowers compete for hair". No one can suppress or close the flower dispute. Flowers will bloom, and the next year will be fragrant. The desire for love can never be suppressed and can never be extinguished. This couplet has a strong shock, which is not only its strong emotion and typicality, but also its artistic creativity. The novelty lies in linking the usual metaphor of love and longing with the vigorous vitality of flowers in nature, which not only gives a beautiful image of "Spring Heart", but also shows its irresistible natural rationality full of vitality. In addition, "Acacia", the feeling of missing caused by the unattainable love between men and women, is extremely abstract. Here, the poet can turn the abstract into concrete, saying that it is like a heart-shaped word, turning into ashes inch by inch, making it "even this bright flame of love, is there only ashes?" . This poem is extremely popular and unique; Very Gu Zhuo, very new policeman. Between the upper and lower sentences, while flowering, while vanishing; On the one hand, good things are produced, on the other hand, good things are destroyed. The contrast between the hatchbacks makes this couplet produce a touching tragic beauty in sadness.

Most of Li Shangyin's untitled poems express love life, but they are not simple and direct poems dedicated to the loved ones, but explorations of different love worlds, at least from different perspectives. In his love world, most of them are lonely and sad, and they are often mixed with doubt and despair. This kind of love is intense and exhausting, and finally it turns into self-destruction and produces the idea of death. Except for the couplets of "lust", the others are as follows:

Once lonely and sleepless, I missed candles; But I haven't heard from you until the pomegranate blossoms. -"Untitled Two Songs" Part One

It's useless not to be in love, but it can comfort my soul! . -"Untitled Two Songs" Part II

Silkworms in spring will weave until they die, and candles will drain the wick every night. -"untitled"

But what I can't reach is the magic mountain. You are over there, beyond Wanfeng. -One of "Untitled Four Songs"

These poems can make readers experience the beauty of tragedy and cry for sympathy, enter the desperate world created by poets, taste the sweetness of pain, and taste the joy and bitterness of love. Different from Yuan and Bai's love poems, poets pay too much attention to the narration of specific events in this deep exploration of love. Unlike Huajian poets, they don't make superficial descriptions of appearance and clothing, but deliberately depict the rich and complicated inner activities and thoughts and feelings of the characters. The identity of the protagonist in the poem is not directly revealed, but implied by the picture and the specific environmental atmosphere, which makes the whole poem euphemistic and tortuous and always presents a subtle and unpredictable artistic conception.

For a long time, there has been an endless debate about whether untitled poems are entrusted. There is no trace of sustenance in this poem "Whispering East Wind". It can only be said that it is the poet's exploration of the love world, but it does not seem to rule out that it may be integrated into the broader social attitude and life experience of some poets with tragic life experience and tragic mentality, as the poet Zhou Yi said: "The sense of life experience is connected with the soul. That is, the soul, that is, the sustenance, is not attached to these two things. " If we explain untitled poems from this accessible angle, is it closer to the origin of tragic artist Li Shangyin?
