It shows that the author has a deep understanding of music and rich artistic imagination. A large number of pen and ink are used to render the moving effect of the music that is earth-shattering and makes the gods cry, and a large number of associations, imaginations and myths and legends make the works full of romanticism.
It is also about writing music. Compared with Pipa Xing, Li Ping's imagination is more free and unrestrained. Here, Li He no longer compares music to some kind of sound, but directly says that it feels like a form of "lotus weeping and fragrant orchid laughing", and they all give people a pleasant feeling of spring breeze, which is called "synaesthesia". Synaesthesia is not limited to form, but requires spirit likeness.
Original poem:
Li Ping's Elegance. In Tang Dynasty: Li He
Wu Si Shu Tong Zhang Gaoqiu, the empty mountain is quiet.
Jiang E sings about Motome's sorrow, while Li Ping plays with China.
The phoenix cries when the jade in Kunshan is broken, and the lotus weeps and the fragrant orchid smiles.
the twelve gates melt cold light, and the twenty-three threads move purple emperor.
Nu Wa tried to make up the sky by refining stones, which made the autumn rain stir.
I dreamed of teaching the gods in the sacred mountain, and the old fish danced the wave and thin dumpling dance.
Wu sleeps on laurel trees, and flies obliquely with bare feet to wet cold rabbits.
Interpretation:
On the night of late autumn, you can play the exquisite crickets made of Wusi Shutong. Hearing the wonderful music, the white clouds in the sky condensed and stopped drifting.
Xiang E spilled tears all over Bambusa, and Motome was filled with sorrow for nine days. This happened because Li Ping, a musician, played in Beijing.
The music is crisp and beautiful, just like the beautiful jade of Kunlun Mountain shattered and the phoenix chirped; Sometimes make hibiscus cry in the dew, and sometimes make vanilla laugh.
the crisp music blends the cold phosgene in front of the twelve gates of Chang' an city. Twenty-three strings played high and lightly, which touched the high-flying God.
The high-pitched music soared into the sky and rushed to the sky mended by Nuwa's alchemy. It seems that colorful stone, which fills the sky, was broken, and the autumn rain fell all over the sky.
In the illusion, it seems that musicians have entered the sacred mountain and taught their skills to female immortals. The old fish jumped in the waves with excitement, and the thin dumpling danced happily.
WU GANG was attracted by the music in the moon palace and stayed under the laurel tree all night. The rabbit under the laurel tree also stood listening, regardless of the dew flying obliquely and chilly!
Extended information:
This poem was written from the 6th year of Tang Xianzong Yuanhe (811) to the 8th year of Yuanhe (813). At that time, Li He worked in Chang 'an, where he was an official with Li Lang (a junior official in charge of the sacrifice).
To get to the point, Wu Si Shu Tong's writing style is well-structured, so as to set off the superb skills of the performers, that is, to write things, that is, to write people, and to kill two birds with one stone. The term "high autumn" not only indicates that the time is late autumn in September, but also contains the meaning of "crisp autumn" (writing the performance environment), which is more meaningful than "late autumn" and "late autumn". The word "Zhang" is not only an abstract action of playing, but also easily leads to such an association: the emotional charm of music is high and full, reaching the sky.
write music in two or three sentences. The poet deliberately avoids the invisible, colorless and elusive subject (the sound of rustling), and writes from the object (such as "empty mountains and condensed clouds"), which is both true and illusory and very expressive.
As soon as the beautiful and melodious string songs came out, the clouds in the empty Yamanoue slumped and stagnated, as if they were bowing their heads and listening; Xiang E and Motome, who are good at drums and harps, were also touched by the music and burst into tears.
The word "decadent" is just a contrast with the word "Zhang". The former is full, while the latter is weak. The word "decadent" vividly depicts the modality of the moment when the cloud is hit by music.
The "empty mountain" sentence empathizes with things, and it seems that the cloud has human auditory function and thoughts and feelings, which is better than "If the sky is affectionate, the sky will grow old" ("Golden Copper Immortal Ci Han Song"). It and the following sentence "Jiang E" cooperate with each other and complement each other, trying to set off the magic and beauty of the sound, which has the charm of "shocking the world and making the gods cry".
In the fourth sentence, "Li Ping plays with China", the first and last names of the players are pointed out with the "Fu" pen, and the place of performance is explained. In the first four sentences, the poet deliberately broke through the general writing method of telling people, time and place in sequence, and made other careful arrangements. First, he wrote the piano and the sound, and then he wrote people, time and place in tandem, interspersed among them. In this way, it highlights the music and has the artistic power of voice.
