Original poem:
Reward lotte, dream on?
Don
Thousands of mountains and rivers have broken letters, and I received a poem from you today. It's rare that you love me and ask me in your dreams.
I'm crazy now. I dream of those people who have nothing. They only dream of you.
Explanation:
Qian Shan was cut off by water and communication was interrupted. I suddenly received one of your poems today. It's rare for you to pity me and ask me in your dream.
I'm sick now, and I'm confused. I only dream about some irrelevant people but I don't dream about you.
From the original text of Pipa Xing:
Sometimes in the middle of the night, she dreams of her victory and is awakened from her dream by her hot tears.
Her first guitar note made me sigh. Now, after listening to her story, I feel even sadder.
Explanation:
Sometimes in the middle of the night, she dreams of her victory and is awakened by her hot tears, which means that when the night is deep, they suddenly dream of their childhood, crying in their dreams, and the cosmetics and tears on their faces are mixed.
I shook my head and sighed when I heard Pipa cry, and it was even more sad to hear her talk.
Dream crying makeup tears: crying in the dream, tears sprinkled on the face that has been evenly powdered. Red and dry: the face is covered with tears and powder.
Through the description of pipa girl's superb playing skills and unfortunate experiences, Pipa Xing reveals some unreasonable phenomena in feudal society, such as bureaucratic corruption, the decline of people's livelihood, and the burying of talents, and expresses the poet's deep sympathy for pipa girl, as well as the poet's resentment at his innocent being demoted.
Appreciating Happy Dreams was written around the 12th year of Yuanhe (8 17). At that time, Yuan Zhen was demoted to Tongzhou Sima, and Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima, one south and one north, thousands of miles apart.
Coupled with the "mountains and rivers", there is no news, and we can only meet in our dreams. Bai Juyi dreamed of Yuan Zhen many times and wrote poems to tell each other. This poem is a reward for Lotte's "dreaming often".
The poet's achievements:
Yuan Zhen admired Du Fu's poems, and his poetic theory changed from Du Fu to Du Fu. In a simple and vivid way, it presents gorgeous beauty, strong colors, tortuous plots and vivid details. It is the same as Liu Meng's and Li Yu's 19 ancient Yuefu poems, and it is also listed as Yuefu in Yuan Zhen, which is similar to the Song of Eternal Sorrow.
Yuan Zhenji is as famous as Bai Juyi, and now he has compiled 28 volumes of poems (396-423 volumes of all Tang poems).
Bai Juyi was a scholar at the age of 29 in the 16th year of Zhenyuan (800). He has served as provincial school secretary, school assistant and Hanlin bachelor. During the Yuanhe period, he was left as a gleaning, and wrote a lot of satirical poems, including ten masterpieces of Qin Zhongyin and fifty poems of New Yuefu, which made the dignitaries gnash their teeth and grieve.
Bai Juyi was a great poet with great influence in the middle Tang Dynasty. His poetic thoughts and creations, which emphasize popularity and realism, occupy an important position in the history of China's poetry.
