How deep is the yard? The willow piles up smoke, but the curtain is not heavy. Jade music carving saddle tour smelting place, the building is not high, look at Zhangtai Road.
March storm, closing at dusk, not planning to stay in spring. Tears ask flowers silently, and red flies over the swing.

How deep is the yard? Rows of willows pile up green smoke clouds and countless heavy curtains. Where are China's chariots and horses now? You can't climb a tall building by Mazhangtai Road.
In the spring, the wind and rain suddenly broke out in March, and at dusk, there was no way to keep the spring scenery. I asked the flowers with tears in my eyes, but there was no answer. I flew over the swing in disorder.

This is a poem "funeral march in Late Spring", which describes a woman in a boudoir in late spring, who is pregnant with someone and hurts her depression and resentment. It is the masterpiece of in my heart forever.
At the beginning, the word "deep" is used to describe the life of a woman who is isolated from the world like a prisoner, implying her loneliness and resentment, and depicting a lonely scene of a woman living alone. Li Qingzhao's Preface of Words once praised: "How deep is the courtyard in Ouyang Gong's Butterfly Lovers, so I love it, taking its language as how deep is the courtyard. Next, the poet gave a detailed description of the girl's residence. From far to near, there is a "willow pile of smoke" nearby. Rows of willow trees are dense and foggy, like an ink painting. There is a heavy curtain in the distance, and the word "no multiple" describes the deep and secret of this courtyard. In the next sentence, the poet turned his pen, "Yule carved a saddle and swam to her husband's place", while in the next sentence, he folded his pen and described a woman who was in a tall building and looked at her husband's place. Wang Guowei's "Words on Earth" said: "All scenery words are sentimental words".
The next word expresses women's infinite feelings about hurting spring by writing the stormy dusk. The last two sentences are one of the most famous sentences in Ouyang Xiu's ci. Mao's Introduction to Ancient and Modern Ci once analyzed: "Uncle Yong said,' Tears ask flowers without words, and red flies over the swing.' This is deep and muddy. What is this? Tears because of flowers, this meaning also; Begging for flowers because of tears is also a meaning; Flowers are silent, and this layer of meaning is also; Not only did he say nothing, but he also dropped an egg and flew over the swing, which was of great significance. The sadder a person is, the more annoying the flowers are, the shallower the words are, the more meaningful they are, and there is no effort to describe them. Is it true that they are neither deep nor muddy? "
The language of the whole poem is beautiful and easy to understand, but the artistic conception is far-reaching, profound and delicate, far better than the rhyme of Huajian Ci.

This is a masterpiece about lovelorn women. The first part describes the lovelorn woman in a deep yard, surrounded by willow trees like light smoke, which is more quiet, but she is trapped in a heavy curtain deeper in the yard. Next, I wrote the heroine's extreme grief in scene language. "The storm is coming, and the wind is full of buildings", which symbolizes that the heroine's mind is destroyed; "Closing at dusk", the realm is bleak; There is no plan to stay in the spring, and the situation is pitiful. The phrase "tears ask flowers" is the most vivid and praised. With vivid details, it symbolically emphasizes that this woman wants to spend flowers with tears, without telling her own grief, and the flowers are being destroyed and damaged.
A butterfly in love with flowers

Who abandoned leisure for a long time? Every spring comes, melancholy remains.
I often get sick before spending every day, but I don't care if I look thin in the mirror.
Why do willow trees on Wuqingdi by the river ask new worries every year?
The independent bridge is full of sleeves, and Lin Ping returns to the new moon.

1 sick wine: drunk, sick because of wine.
2 green grass: grass.

This is a lyric work caused by "Wounded Spring". What is expressed is a strong sentimental feeling that is difficult to refer to. The first sentence expresses emotion directly in rhetorical tone, which means that although I have long wanted to put aside the melancholy of life, I am still melancholy every spring. Then it gives a detailed explanation of "melancholy": getting drunk in front of flowers every day makes Zhu Yan look haggard and emaciated in the mirror, but she is also diligent. The beginning of Xiagan is a sentence of "melancholy in spring". New grass and new willows should have given people new hope, but the poet only got "new sorrow"! And "year after year" is like this, becoming the trouble of life. Why is this happening? Makes people think. Finally, ending with the scene is more attractive.
