Jinse [Tang] Li Shangyin
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring.
Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun.
A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it.

Note (1) I wonder why my golden harp has fifty strings, and each string has a flowery tone, a youthful interval: "Zhou Li Musical Instrument": "Twenty-three strings of elegant instruments, twenty-five strings of musical instruments, which are decorated with precious stones are called precious vessels, and those who paint like brocade are called golden vessels." "Hanshu Jiaosi Shang Zhi": "Emperor Tai made Motome drum fifty strings, which made him sad. The emperor couldn't stop it and broke his instrument twenty-five strings." Gusser has different numbers of major and minor chords. Yishan's poem "Peony is defeated in the moderate rain" has "Jinse Jingxian broken dream"; There is a poem "Fifty strings of rain hit Xiangling" in the poem "Dream after listening to the rain with two scholars Wang Zheng on the night of July 28". For no reason: for no reason, for no reason. This faint sadness is the emotional tone of the whole poem. Most of the poets who interpreted Yishan in past dynasties took this poem as their later works. Shang Yin died before he was fifty years old, so he used "fifty strings" to describe his life, which triggered the following idea of "one string and one column".
(2) Saint Zhuangzi daydreaming was bewitched by butterflies: "Zhuangzi's Theory of Everything": "Zhuang Zhoumeng is a butterfly, lifelike; Self-metaphor and ambition! I don't know, Zhou Ye. If you suddenly feel it, you will suddenly feel it. I wonder if Zhou Zhimeng is a butterfly and? Butterfly's dream is Zhou Yu. " Shang Yin quoted the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly to illustrate that life is like a dream and the past is like smoke.
A beautiful woman's golden harp and a complicated string awakened the poet's dream and stopped sleeping. There is a beautiful situation in it, but it is an empty dream. There is also the melancholy and confusion of life like a dream.
(3) "Wang Chunxin Tijuan Huayang Kingdom Shu Zhi": "Du Yu proclaimed himself emperor,No.. ..... Its mutual understanding, decided that Lei Yushan in order to eliminate the flood, the emperor then instructed political affairs, and the law of Yao and Shun Zen taught benevolence and righteousness, so Zen was in enlightenment. The emperor rose to the western hills. In February this year, cuckoo birds sang, and Shu people mourned cuckoo birds. " Zi Juan is a cuckoo, also called Zi Gui. Cai Mengbi's On Du Gongbu Caotang Poetry 19 Du Fu's poems quoted Chengdu Ji: "When the emperor died, the soul turned into a bird, which is called Du Fu, which is also called Zigui." According to legend, Du Yinshui of Shu abdicated and lived in seclusion in the mountains. After his death, he became a cuckoo, wailing day and night until he cried and bled.
(4) Mermaids drop pearl-like tears into the moonlit sea: Natural History: "There is a Jiao Ren outside the South China Sea, and the water lives like a fish. If you don't waste your performance, you will be able to produce pearls. " "New Tang Book Di Zhuan": "Ren Jie cited the Ming Classics, transferred Bianzhou to join the army, falsely accused officials, made Yan news and made it different. He said: "Zhong Ni said that he knows benevolence, and you can be described as a drop in the ocean." "
5. Lantian breathes its own jade to the sun: Yuanhe County Records: Lantian County, Jingzhaofu, Guannei Road: Lantian Mountain, a Jade Mountain, 28 miles east of the county seat. "Selected Works" Lu Ji "Wen Fu": "Shi Yuyu is full of mountains and water is full of beads." "Sleeping in Moon Hee" Volume 18: Sikong expresses the holy cloud: "Dai Rongfu refers to the poet's scenery, such as the warmth of Lantian, which can only be expected, but it is imminent. This sentence of Li Yishan Yusheng Smoke is covered here. "
[6] And a moment that should last forever, unconsciously came and went: set the length of the whole article, clearly put forward the word "this feeling", echoing the beginning of "China Year". The poem reads: "If you are so affectionate, don't wait until today's memories to begin to feel endless regret, that is, it was already melancholy and melancholy at that time. So today's memory is regret, what should you do? " The poet used these two poems to express several layers of twists and turns, and several layers of twists and turns were just to illustrate that kind of melancholy and painful mood.
God uses 50 strings, and the world uses 25 strings. The melody of the 50-string golden harp is too rich, the range is too wide, too sad and too beautiful for ordinary people to appreciate. The Golden Harp with Fifty Strings is the author's self-metaphor: Gao Zhiyuan is only talented, but it is difficult for the world to use.

There is no reason to say that Jinse has fifty strings. )

Jinse is one of Li Shangyin's most famous poems and the most difficult one to understand. The poet has always lamented "a person who is difficult to understand." Some people say that it is a love poem for a maid named "Jinse" in Linghu Chu's family; Some people say that it is a mourning poem for the late wife Wang; Others think that the four poems in the middle can meet the four feelings of appropriateness, resentment, clarity and harmony, and can be inferred as poems describing music; There are also many sayings, such as alluding to politics and writing autobiographical poems. For thousands of years, there have been many different opinions. Generally speaking, most people say "mourning" and "self-injury".
A poem with the word "first" as its title is actually equivalent to an untitled poem. As for the meaning of this poem, we might as well think that it is the poet's nostalgia for the years and his sadness about his life experience caused by listening to the piano.
