"Slow Voice"
The desolate and desolate environment is used to set off the miserable and tragic mood. In the words, whether it is the weather that is suddenly cold or warm, the faint smell of wine, the autumn wind that rises suddenly at night, the wild geese in the sky, the yellow flowers on the ground, or the sycamore trees outside the window and the drizzle at dusk, all of them cause and help melancholy. , those who are worried are simply sad in every scene, and sad everywhere. This strong and miserable atmosphere truly expresses the poet's sorrow and strongly shocks the readers' hearts
"Poppy Beauty"
The whole poem is characterized by its clear, concise, graceful and fresh tone. The language uses metaphors, symbols, contrasts, questions and other rhetorical techniques to highly summarize and vividly express the poet's true feelings. No wonder the predecessors praised Li Yu's lyrics as "a song of blood and tears", "one word for each bead". The predecessors' poem about Empress Li said: "To be a talented person is really unparalleled, but to be a king is pitiful." Indeed, as a subjugated king with "a good voice and no regard for political affairs", there is nothing good to say, but as a poet of the generation, He left many words of blood and tears that shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods to future generations, which have been passed down through the ages. This song "Poppy Poppy" is one of the most well-known ones. The lyrics are carefully structured, swirling and undulating throughout the text, and revolve around a central idea, forming a harmonious and coordinated artistic whole. Before Li Yu, no poet could achieve such high achievements in structural art. Therefore Wang Guowei said: "There are sentences but no chapters in the poetry of the Tang and Five Dynasties. There are chapters but no sentences in the poetry of famous writers in the Southern Song Dynasty. There are chapters but there are sentences, but the works written by Empress Li after his death and Yongshu, Zizhan, Shao There are only a few people like You, Meicheng and Jiaxuan." ("Deleted Manuscripts of Human Words") It can be seen that Li Yu's artistic achievements have a significance that transcends the times. Of course, the more important thing is that he can express his emotions deeply because he feels deeply. It is the emotion itself that plays a decisive role. It is also Wang Guowei who said it well: "The words of the empress are really written in blood." This song "Poppy Poppy" is full of emotions of sorrow, hatred, and grief. Its emotions are so deep and strong that they are like the surging river, with great disregard for everything. Everything is rushing out. A king who was above the sword and his country's subjugation dared to express the hatred of his country's subjugation so boldly. His courage is rare in history. Li Yu's pure and sincere emotion in his poems is probably what Wang Guowei said was the "innocent words" coming from the "innocent heart". This feature is most prominent in the song "Poppy Beauty", so much so that Li Yu paid for this with his life. French writer Musset said: "The most beautiful poetry is the most desperate poetry, and some immortal chapters are pure tears.
"("May Night") Isn't Li Yu's "Poppy Poppy" such an immortal work!
