"Chang'e"
Author: Li Shangyin
The candle shadow on the mica screen is deep, the long river is gradually falling and the dawn stars are sinking.
Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and her heart will be filled with blue sea and blue sky every night.
Notes:
1. Deep: dark.
2. Long River: Milky Way.
3. Blue sea and blue sky: refers to Chang'e's boring life, where she could only see the blue sea and the dark blue sky.
4. Night heart: refers to Chang'e feeling lonely every night.
Rhyme translation:
The mica screen is stained with a thick layer of candle shadow,
The Milky Way gradually slopes down and the morning star has also sunk.
Chang'e must have regretted secretly taking the elixir.
Now she is alone with the blue sea and blue sky, and her heart is chilling every night.
Comment:
In terms of content, this is a poem praising Chang'e. However, everyone has different opinions. Some people think that it is a song about the elopement of a loved one, some people think that it is a direct song about the lonely situation of the protagonist, some people think that it is another way of sustenance by chanting Chang'e, and some people think that it is a song about a woman's pursuit of learning Taoism. Immortal, some people think it should be viewed as "untitled". Let's just think of it as a woman who sings about living in seclusion
In a lonely place, she stays awake all night. From this point of view, it is really written very affectionately and rationally. The language is suggestive and the mood is sentimental.
