It was a long time ago that I met her, but since we separated, the time has become longer, the east wind is blowing and a hundred flowers are blooming.
Silkworms in spring will weave until they die, and candles will drain the wick every night.
In the morning, she saw her hair cloud changing in the mirror, but she bravely faced the cold of the moonlight with her evening song.
There are not many roads to Pengshan. Oh, Bluebird, listen! -Give me what she said! .
Translated text
It's rare to have a chance to meet each other, but I can't bear to part with each other. In addition, the weather in late spring, the east wind is coming, which makes people even more sad.
Spring silkworms don't spin silk when they die, and wax oil like tears can drip dry when candles are burned to ashes.
Women who dress up in front of the mirror in the morning are only worried that the plump bangs will change color and the youthful appearance will disappear. Men can't sleep at night, so they must feel Leng Yue's aggression.
The other person's residence is not far from Penglai Mountain, but there is no road to cross, just out of my reach. I hope there will be a messenger like a bluebird to visit my lover and diligently deliver the message for me.
Precautions:
1. Untitled: Since the Tang Dynasty, some poets have often used "."when they are unwilling to mark topics that can express their themes.
Untitled is the title of a poem.
2. exhaustion of silk: silk is homophonic with "thinking", and "exhaustion of silk" means missing only after death.
It will be over.
3. Tears begin to dry: Tears refer to candle oil when burning, and pun here refers to the tears of lovesickness.
4. Xiao Jing: Dress up and look in the mirror in the morning; Yunbin: A woman's beautiful hair is a symbol of her youth.
5. Pengshan: Penglai Mountain, the legendary fairy mountain on the sea, is a metaphor for the place where mourners live.
6. Bluebird: a mythical messenger to the Queen Mother of the West.

Knock the chess pieces at will and fall black and blue.
Poetry annotation

Biography of the author
Zhao Shixiu (1170-1219), a poet in the Song Dynasty, was born in Yongjia (now Wenzhou, Zhejiang). He is called "Yongjia Four Spirits" and "Ghost" together with, and. Two volumes of Zhao Shixiu Collection and one volume of Tianletang Collection have been lost. Only Qingyuan Zhai Ji has been handed down from generation to generation.
The theme of poetry and prose
May Huang Shi, every household is shrouded in misty rain.
There were ponds full of grass everywhere, and frogs broke out.
The invited guests said they hadn't come yet, and the time passed quickly after midnight.
I knocked on the table with a chess piece in my hand, waiting for the guests, only to see snuff drop a flower every once in a while. ...
Appreciation of poetry and prose
The first two sentences explain the environment and season at that time. Huangmei, the sound of rain, the pond and the sound of frogs describe the summer night scene in the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River: the sound of rain and the sound of frogs are endless. Reading makes people feel immersive, as if it is drizzling around and frogs are barking around. This seemingly lively environment, in fact, the poet wants to reflect its silence.
The last two issues show people and things. The master waited patiently and anxiously, doing nothing, "knocking" the chess pieces and quietly looking at the sparkling snuff. The third sentence, "I have an appointment and won't come after midnight", points out that the poet invited guests to visit. After midnight shows a long waiting time. I was expecting the guest's knock on the door, but I only heard a burst of rain and frogs, which showed the author's anxious mood. The fourth sentence, "Knocking on chess pieces", is a detailed description. The poet can't wait long for the invitation, and the wick is very long. When the poet is bored, he subconsciously knocks black and white pieces on the chessboard and knocks down the snuff. This gesture seems leisurely, but it actually reflects the poet's inner anxiety.
The whole poem not only describes the poet's scene of waiting for a guest to visit on a rainy night, but also writes the feeling of disappointment that the guest has not arrived, which can be described as both form and spirit. The whole poem has a strong flavor of life and gets rid of the habit of carving, so it is beautiful and can be recited.
Innovative reading
What artistic conception did the poem "Ke" create and what artistic conception did the poet express? Look-on a summer night in the south of the Yangtze River, the plum rains are falling, frogs are chirping, and the poet invites friends to play chess. However, when the guests have not arrived after midnight, the poet knocks on the chess pieces and waits quietly ... What is the poet's mood at this time? I don't think there is any anxiety or boredom at all, but more likely a relaxed and comfortable state of mind. Maybe I was anxious for a while (how can this anxiety last until midnight? ), but now, the poet is infected by the scene of the summer night in the south of the Yangtze River: passionate plum rain, cheerful wow, flashing lights, crisp chess knocking ... This is a lively and quiet, dignified and elegant picture. Perhaps the poet has forgotten that he is waiting for a friend and is completely immersed in the inner restlessness and tranquility. We should thank our friends for not keeping the appointment and let the poet enjoy such a wonderful sleepless night alone.
On a spring night, I smell the flute in Los Angeles.
On a spring night, I smell the flute in Los Angeles.
Author: Li Bai
Yu Di's dark flying sound scattered into the spring breeze in Los Angeles.
In this nocturne, the willow is broken, and no one can afford to be homesick.
All comments
1. Los Angeles: Luoyang.
2. Folding willow: that is, the flute sound of "Folding willow" and Yuefu's "Blowing across the Drum Horn" are the topics, and the content is mostly parting feelings. Hu Zai's Later Collection of Tiaoxi Fishing and Conceiving Conghua Volume 4: Yuefu Miscellanies says:' The flute player is also a strong musician. The classics are "Folding Willow" and "Falling Plum Blossoms". Therefore, Chen Xian's "Smelling the flute in LA on a Spring Night" ... Du Shaoling's "Playing the flute" poem:' Why are you worried about the music in the garden? Wang Zhihuan said,' Why should a strong brother complain about Liu? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass. It is said that "Folding Willow" is also a song. "
3. Yu Di: Exquisite flute.
This poem was written by Li Bai when he visited Luoyang in the 23rd year of Kaiyuan (735). Describe the homesickness caused by the sound of flute in the dead of night. Yao Wang qu "300 Tang Poems": "Suddenly I heard the sound of the flute, and I don't know whose house it was. Because it is a night smell, the sound flies in the dark. The flute is blown away by the wind, and the wind is spread far and far by the flute, so the flute can be heard everywhere in Luo Chun at night. Folding willow is a farewell, and there is a song "Folding willow" in the flute tune. When I heard the broken willow tree, I felt sad, so my feelings were linked with my hometown. This is self-love, but it means that the listener is' no one can afford it'. Does everyone feel differently? " Just to "scatter to the spring breeze", the whole city heard it.
Appreciate:
Los Angeles is now Luoyang, Henan. It was a very prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty and was called the East Capital. On a spring night, the lights of thousands of households gradually went out, and the noise of the day had long been calm. Suddenly there was a loud flute, and sad and euphemistic tunes flew over Los Angeles with the spring breeze. At this time, a poet who is far away from home is still asleep. He stood by the window, staring at the bright moon like a "white jade plate" alone, listening to the distant flute, lost in thought. The flute plays a song "Folding Willow", which belongs to the ancient music of Han Yuefu and expresses the pain of parting. In ancient times, when parting, willow branches were often broken off from the roadside to send; Willow, willow is just to express their reluctance. On such a spring night, listening to such a song full of parting feelings, who can not miss homesickness? Therefore, the poet couldn't help singing this four-line poem.
This poem closely follows the word "smell" throughout, expressing his feeling of smelling the flute. I don't know whose flute this is. The piper who didn't show up just boasted, listened to it, and was not prepared to let others know about him, but unexpectedly touched many listeners. This is the meaning of the word "dark" in Whose Jade Emperor flies secretly. "Scattered in the spring breeze in Los Angeles" is an artistic exaggeration. In the poet's imagination, this beautiful flute flew all over Los Angeles, as if the whole city had heard it. The poet's exaggeration is not without life basis. The flute is originally a high note. When it is quiet, with the help of the spring breeze, it is not an exaggeration to say that it flies all over Los Angeles.
The flute came, and I didn't know what it was at first sight. After listening carefully for a while, I realized that it was a broken willow. That's why I wrote the third sentence saying, "I heard the willow break in this serenade." The rhetoric of this sentence is very particular, not listening to a broken willow song, but saying that I heard a broken willow in music. The word "folding willow" refers not only to the title of the song, but also to the title of the song. Folding willow represents a custom, a scene and an emotion, and folding willow is almost synonymous with parting. It can evoke a series of concrete memories and reawaken people's homesickness. "Who can't stand homesickness" seems to refer to others and everyone, but isn't it Li Bai himself who is homesick first?
Loving one's hometown is a noble emotion, which is interlinked with patriotism. I was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in my hometown. As a member of the motherland, her image is particularly unforgettable. Li Bai's poem is about smelling the flute, but its significance is not limited to describing music, but also expresses his yearning for his hometown, which is its touching place.
Whose home is the melodious flute coming from? As the spring breeze flutters, it spreads all over Luoyang. Just tonight, when I hear the sad "Broken Willow", can I miss home?
Reflections on Reading (Part Two)
Dynasty: Southern Song Dynasty poet: Zhu
Last night, the river was full of springs.
This huge ship is a dime a dozen.
Always in vain,
Today, you can move freely in the water.
Poetry translation of "reading comprehension" (Ⅱ);
Last night, the river was in high tide.
This ship is as light as a feather.
It takes a lot of push and pull to keep driving.
Today, I can drift freely in the middle of the river.
Comments: Judging from the metaphor of "the great ship", perhaps Zhu commented on the creation of big characters in the list. The moral of this poem is also profound, because a rising tide lifts all boats and you can travel freely. Once the artistic creation of calligraphy is inspired, it can make the style of writing smooth at once. This is a vivid metaphor, which is not only an essential process of calligraphy art, but also an important essence of general artistic creation. Of course, this poem can also be understood from another angle, that is, Zhu saw the concise and vivid skills of calligraphy works and tasted the artistic truth that practice makes perfect.

I often remember playing in the pavilion by the stream until sunset, so drunk that I don't know the way back. Satisfied with fun, I rowed back in the dark and mistakenly rowed into the depths of the lotus. Scrambling to row, scrambling to row, disturbed the waterfowl all over the beach, and all flew.
A short message to a friend in the north on a rainy night.
Author: Li Shangyin
When you ask about the return date, it's hard to say, evening rain, Manqiuchi.
When * * * cut the candle at the west window, but talk about the rain at night.
Precautions:
1, Bashan: in the north of Nanjiang County, Sichuan Province.
2.* * * Candles in the west window of the cave: cut them together; Cut the wick under the west window.
3. But: Start over.
Rhyme translation:
You asked me when I would go home, but I haven't set a date yet.
It rains heavily in Bashan tonight, and it rains in autumn pool.
When will you and I get together again and cut the candle flowers in the west window?
Tonight, I will tell you about the autumn rain, my painful feelings.
Comments:
This is a lyric poem. The first two sentences of this poem express the feeling of loneliness by asking questions and describing the immediate environment.
And the deep memory of his wife. The last two sentences imagine the joy of meeting again in the future and compare with the loneliness tonight. Shallow feelings
Profound, implicit and meaningful, well-known and memorable.
According to textual research, this poem was written by the author in Dongchuan from July to September in the fifth year of Dazhong (85 1).
When I was a shogun in Zhongying County. At this time, Yishan's wife Wang Shi died (Wang Shi died in the summer and autumn of Dazhong five years). To this end, I think
This poem is written for friends in Chang 'an. But Yishan entered the catalpa curtain and his wife died, all in the summer and autumn of Dazhong five years, even if the king
The death of stone ranks first, and Yishan's poems rank last. At that time, in the era of traffic jams and ineffective information, it was completely possible.
As far as the content of poetry is concerned, if we understand it by "sending it inside", we will feel sad and lingering; It's too subtle to think of it as "sending it to the north"
Pale, quite delicate.

On a fishing boat, there are two children. They put away their bamboo poles, stopped their oars and sat on the boat.
No wonder it didn't rain. They opened the umbrella. They didn't want to protect the rain, but wanted to use the umbrella as a sail to let the boat go forward.
This poem describes what the poet saw and heard when he passed Anren by boat.
This poem is as simple as a word, full of fun, showing the childlike behavior of two carefree little fishermen and the whimsy of an only child. Here is what the author saw: there are two children on a small fishing boat. They put away the bamboo poles and stopped the oars. Some authors also realized: Oh, no wonder they also carry umbrellas when it doesn't rain. At first, they wanted to use an umbrella to let the wind push the boat forward.
2. Text analysis.
(1) "A fishing boat with two children stopped on board." This may have been discovered by the poet at a glance. Of course, the two children soon caught his attention. Why? Because although they were sitting in the boat, they didn't go boating, the sparrows were put away, and the oars stopped there. Isn't that strange? It can be seen that the author's mood at this time is carefree and happy, so he noticed what the two children did.
(2) "It's strange to open an umbrella when it doesn't rain, instead of covering your head, it creates wind." Here, the story of two children playing umbrellas seen by the poet is omitted, and the doubts in the author's heart are omitted, and the joy of solving doubts is directly written. How did you untie it? Perhaps the poet saw the child's abnormal behavior and began to observe and think more carefully. Of course, the result was an epiphany: Oh, no wonder they also carry umbrellas when it doesn't rain. At first, they wanted to use an umbrella to let the wind push the boat forward. You can also ask two children directly, and the children will tell him the reason. Anyway, knowing the reason, the author must be heartless. For Warawako's cleverness and their naivety and childishness, he happily picked up a pen and recorded this childlike scene.
Yang Wanli writes pastoral poems and is very good at using children's childlike innocence to touch the poetic realm. His "New Town Xugong Store" (hedges are sparse all the way, and the trees are not shaded. The child ran quickly to catch the yellow butterfly, but the butterfly suddenly flew into the vegetable garden and could not be found again. ) "Two quatrains on a nap in early summer" (1) plum sour teeth, banana green screen window. Spring goes to summer, and the days are long and tired. After a nap, I feel depressed and watch the children play with catkins in the air. (2) A half-bow moss grows in the shade of pine trees, and occasionally he wants to read and is lazy. Bored, I went to the fountain to water the banana. The pattering sound startled the children who were playing. They thought it suddenly began to rain. You can refer to it. The difference is that the boat crossing Anren focuses directly on children, and the whole poem is about children's childish behavior. Yang Wanli's love for children is beyond words, and he praised the cleverness of the two Warawako players. Of course, we can also see the poet's childlike innocence.
: "The grass shop is six or seven miles away from the field."
"The flute played three or four times in the evening breeze."
"When you come back from a big meal at dusk"
"Don't undress and lie on the moon."
The poem "The Shepherd Boy" shows us a vivid picture of a shepherd boy returning home at night: the vast Yuan Ye is covered with green grass; The evening breeze is blowing the weeds. I haven't seen the shepherd boy come back yet, but I first heard the melodious and approaching flute of the shepherd boy coming from the wind. The flute sounded intermittently and fluttered with the wind. The shepherd boy came back and had a good meal. It's already after dusk. He didn't even take off his hemp fiber, so he lay in the open field to rest on a moonlit night. There are scenes, feelings, characters and voices in the poem. This vivid scene appears in our field of vision from far and near.
2. Text analysis.
(1) "The grass shop is six or seven miles away from the field, and the night wind rings three or four times." Poetry gives us visual and auditory feelings. Looking around, the grass on the vilen is lush; Listen to the flute in the evening breeze. The word "paving" shows the lush grass and the gentle and comfortable feeling of grassland; The word "Nong" shows a kind of interest, conveying the intermittent and melodious flute sound in the wind and the meaning of the shepherd boy playing the flute. The vastness of grassland paves the way for the appearance of shepherd boy, and the melodious flute makes us imagine the relaxed and leisurely mood of shepherd boy after a day's work. If you don't see the shepherd boy, smell his voice first, giving people unlimited imagination. Of course, the "six or seven miles" and "three or four sounds" here are not exact figures, just to highlight the vastness of Yuan Ye and the silence of the countryside in the evening.
(2) "After returning to a full meal at dusk, don't take off the hemp fiber and lie in the moonlight." After changing a pen, the poet began to write the rest of the stuffed shepherd boy. A shepherd boy with the earth as his bed and the sky as his account, who eats when he is hungry and sleeps when he is sleepy, has no attachments and is free. There is no scene of family gathering, no scene of partners playing, and the full shepherd boy doesn't even take off his hemp fiber and lies on the grass on a moonlit night. Are you tired and want to lie down and stretch? You like the scenery in the moonlight. Do you want to enjoy it? Looking up at the bright moon, what would the shepherd boy think? Or fell asleep without thinking about anything ... the poet seems to have just written down what he saw, but we can't help thinking.
Grassland, flute, moonlit night and shepherd boy, just like a bleak ink painting, make our hearts feel quiet. The poem "The Shepherd Boy" not only makes us feel the peace and tranquility of life, but also makes us feel the freedom and natural relaxation of the shepherd boy's mind. During the day, cows and shepherds are friends, and at night, it's really like living in a paradise. Of course, through poetry, we can also see the author's pursuit of spiritual world, a yearning for a happy life away from the noise.
Respondent: Tong Jinshi, the wife of Chess Rhyme, was born on 2-26 16:57 in grade 6.
The main content you see is that the shepherd boy is riding on the back of the cow, and the loud song echoes in the forest. Suddenly, I wanted to catch the cicada singing in the tree, so I immediately stopped singing and stood quietly under the tree. This poem is about the interest of catching cicadas.
Qing ping yue chun ju
In summer, the deep bamboo forest is full of vitality, and the dense grassland is like a carpet. The mountains in the distance are faintly visible, and a clear stream flows quietly.
This is a remote, fresh and beautiful mountain village in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a low hut by the stream where the village passes. The roof of this hut is made of straw, which is dense and dense. There are two elderly couples sitting in the room. They have just had a drink. They are slightly drunk and joking in Wu language. I just heard the old man say, "It's a wonderful life today. We have enough food and clothes to support our life." The old woman smiled and said, "Yes, we have three sons. The eldest is very filial, and the third is smart and sensible! Then he looked at his three sons outside the house. The eldest son went to the east of the stream early in the morning. The eldest son is also the pillar of the family. He cultivates every day to support his family. The second son idled around and wanted to make some contribution to his family, so he woven a chicken nest. The third son is the youngest. He lay across the stream for a while, ate the small fish in Doby water, and then peeled the lotus. His naughty appearance is very pleasing.
What a harmonious and happy farmhouse this is!

Egrets fly in front of mount cisse,
Peach blossom and flowing water mandarin fish fertilizer.
Keywords green bamboo hat, green hemp fiber,
There is no need to return to the oblique wind and drizzle.
[Appreciation]
This word describes the fishing scenery of Jiangnan water town during the spring flood. This is a landscape painting written in poetry, with clear mountains and rivers and the image of a fisherman.
The first sentence "Egret flies in front of Mount Cisse" and "Egret flies in front of Mount Cisse" point out the position, and "Egret" is a symbol of leisure. It is written that egrets fly freely, setting off the leisure of fishermen. The second sentence, "Peach blossoms and flowing water are fat for mandarin fish", means that at this time, peach blossoms are in full bloom, the river is skyrocketing, and mandarin fish are gaining weight. The pink here contrasts with the water, showing the lakes and mountains in front of the Cisse Mountain in late spring and exaggerating the living environment of fishermen. Three or four sentences "green bamboo hat, green hemp fiber, oblique wind and drizzle don't have to go back" describe the fisherman's fishing mode. The fisherman wore a green bamboo hat and green hemp fiber, and forgot to return in the oblique wind and drizzle. "Oblique wind" refers to a breeze. The whole poem is bright in color and vividly shows the fisherman's carefree life interest.
Poet Zhang was born in Jinhua, Tang Dynasty. He worked as a small official in the imperial court, and later lived in seclusion in the Jianghu, calling himself a "heavy smoker". This word expresses the pleasure of seclusion by expressing the life of a fisherman.
Attachment: Fifth, Cao Qinghu [③] is full moon, and Baling fisherman [④] sings. Catch a car, catch a boat and enjoy the immortal storm.
Cisai Mountain and Caoqing Lake (Fanyang Lake)
Caoqing Lake is Fanyang Lake next to Mount Cisse, commonly known as Fanyang Lake, Fanchang Lake in local chronicles and Caoqing Lake among local villagers. Located in Fanyanghu Village, Yinan Township, Huzhou City. The place where Zhang often swims and fishes, and Ruoxi Bay in his Poems of Fisherman and Ruoxi Fisherman are in the lake.
Ming Wanli's Huzhou Official Records: "Cisai Mountain is twenty-five miles west of Huzhou City, with Taohuawu and Fanchang Lake under it, and Zhang Tang He Zhi swims here." "Wucheng County Records" has been published for three years: "Fanchang Lake is located 27 miles west of the county seat, and the water from Cisai Mountain enters Longxi (that is, Xitiao River)." It can be seen at a glance from Complete Map of Huzhou House in Qing Dynasty, Complete Map of Xing Wu and Detailed Map of Xing Wu in Early Republic of China that there is a lake sign about 20 miles west of Huzhou called Caoqinghu (commonly known as Fanluohu), and the words Fanchang Lake are clearly marked on Complete Map of Xing Wu.
During our investigation, Fang Shuixiang, a 76-year-old villager (whose ancestors were scholars) told us: "This Panruo Lake was originally called Caoqing Lake, but later it was changed to Fanyang Lake to commemorate Fan Kuai's flood fighting deeds. The' Fanchang Lake' mentioned in the "Fuzhi County Records" is the mistake of' Pan Lake'. " Therefore, the lake in Zhang Ci is Pan Ruo Lake, which is now Fanyang Lake.
This friend of Huangshi said that the Cao Qinghu in this word is the Cao Qinghu in Yueyang, which makes sense. But are there any records or historical materials about Zhang's activities in Yueyang Lake? As far as I know, the lake in Yueyang has nothing to do with Zhang so far, so Zhang said that the lake in Yueyang is purely a subjective assumption of his Huangshi friend, which is groundless and need not be mentioned more. Regarding the lake beside Saisai Mountain in Huzhou, we have enough historical facts to prove that Zhang lived in seclusion and fished in Huzhou Lake, and Zhang's poem "Fishing Weng in Ruoxi Bay" is even more irrefutable. Therefore, the lake in Zhang Ci is not Fanchang Lake (commonly known as Lake) twenty miles west of Huzhou City.
There have been brief textual researches on the five place names of Cisai Mountain, Lake, Songjiang, Ruoxiwan and Diaotai, but the two place names of "Three Rivers" and "Five Lakes" mentioned by Huangshi's friend have not been explained, and I don't know how he explained them (see "Study on the Active Place Names of Three Rivers and Five Lakes in Zhang"). To sum up, the three rivers and five lakes here refer to the streams and rivers around Taihu Lake in the north of Huzhou, which is very close to Huzhou and only an hour or two's walk from Taihu Waterway. So Zhang went fishing in Cisai Mountain, or went fishing in Sanjiang and Wuhu, or went there to have a "crab feast" or a "rice soup" (see "A Brief Introduction to Rice Soup"). So you don't have to stop here, such as Cisai Mountain, Caoqinghu Lake, Songjiang, Ruoxiwan and Diaotai, so Sanjiang and Wuhu are all the place names near Cisai Mountain in Huzhou, not the place names that this Huangshi friend said, "Except Ruoxi, the other five are all along the Yangtze River, from Dongting Lake to Wu Song Estuary in Shanghai."
