Shuidiao Tou (Su Shi)
Bingchen Mid-Autumn Festival, full of drinking, drunk writing this article, and pregnant with children.
when will there be a bright moon? I fetch the wine glass from afar. I do not know the palace in heaven, and what month and when. I would like to take the royal breeze back to the sky, and I am afraid that in the buildings of fine jade, it cannot withstand the cold of nine days. Dance to find out what shadows are like on earth.
turn to Zhuge, low-lying households, and take photos without sleep. The moon should not have any resentment against people, why is it that the people are only round when they leave? Men have sorrow and joy and they part and meet again. The moon dims or shines and it waxes or wanes. Nothing is perfect, not even in the old days. I hope people will live for a long time, and they will be beautiful for thousands of miles.
Appreciation of Shuidiao Song Tou
Shuidiao Song Tou is a poem written by Su Shi in memory of his younger brother Su Zhe at the Mid-Autumn Festival when he was forty-one. At that time, Su Shi and his disciples had disappeared for six or seven years. Su Shi was the magistrate of Mizhou at that time, and the officialdom was frustrated. The whole article was full of romantic colors of Su Shi, a widely circulated Mid-Autumn Festival poem.
When did the bright moon appear? I asked the heaven with a glass of wine. What age is the heavenly palace now? I want to ride the wind back to the sky. I'm afraid that the beautiful moon palace made of jade can't stand the cold in the sky. In my imagination, I danced to the moon. It's like riding the clouds and driving the breeze, flying in the sky. Where is it like being on earth?
The moon turns and shines all over the magnificent pavilions. In the middle of the night, the moonlight penetrates low into the carved doors and windows, shining on people who have worries and can't sleep. The moon shouldn't have any resentment against people, should it? Why does it have to be full when people are separated? There are sadness, joy, separation and reunion in life, and the moon will be cloudy, sunny and full. These things have been like this since ancient times, and it is rare to be perfect. I hope people can stay together forever, although thousands of miles apart, but they can enjoy a bright moon together.
The word has two parts.
The first part mainly describes the beauty of moonlight. Ask the wine to the sky. " These two sentences are from Li Bai's "Drinking asking for the moon", "When will there be a moon in the sky?" I'll stop for a cup today and ask. " When will there be a bright moon? Asking the wine to the sky "leads readers' thoughts to the vast night sky by asking questions to the sky." I want to go home by the wind, but I am afraid that it will be too high to be cold. It shows the author's ambivalence, both yearning for the imperial court and some doubts. In the end, it shows the author's optimistic attitude towards life.
The next film mainly writes about his brother Su Zhe's thoughts. "Zhu Ge, a low-spirited household, has no sleep." Su Shi can't sleep at night when he misses his younger brother. On the surface, "there should be no hate" is talking about the moon, but in fact, he is saying that the author should not have hate in it. "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is full of rain and shine, so it's hard to be complete in ancient times." Su Shi's explanation of the world shows his broad-mindedness and freedom. At the end, "I hope people will live for a long time and live for thousands of miles."
when will there be a bright moon? I fetch the wine glass from afar. I do not know the palace in heaven, and what month and when. I would like to take the royal breeze back to the sky, and I am afraid that in the buildings of fine jade, it cannot withstand the cold of nine days. Dance to find out the shadow, what is it like on earth!
when did the bright moon appear? (I) asked the sky with a glass. I don't know what age it is in the fairy palace in the sky. (Legend has it that there are only a few days in the fairy world and thousands of years underground, so I ask questions. I want to ride the wind back to the sky (as if I had come down from the sky to the earth, so I said "go home"), but I am afraid that the beautiful moon palace made of jade can't stand the cold in the sky (it is said that the palace in the middle of the month is called Guanghan Palace). In the imagination, dancing to the moon, clear shadow with people, as if riding the cloud against the wind, being in the sky, where is it like being on earth!
turn to Zhuge, low-lying households, and take photos without sleep. There should be no hate, what is biased towards other times? Men have sorrow and joy and they part and meet again. The moon dims or shines and it waxes or wanes. Nothing is perfect, not even in the old days. I hope people will live for a long time, and they will be beautiful for thousands of miles.
The moon turns and shines all over the magnificent pavilions. In the middle of the night, the moonlight penetrates through the carved doors and windows low, shining on people who are preoccupied and can't sleep. Since the moon is full, there should be no hatred, but why do people often reunite when they leave? People's experiences include sadness, joy, parting and reunion; As for the moon, it will also encounter yin, eyes, circle and lack; This kind of situation, since ancient times, is rarely perfect. I only wish that we are all healthy and long-lived. Although we are far away from thousands of miles, we can enjoy the beautiful moonlight together.
This word was written on the Mid-Autumn Festival in Xining, Song Shenzong, when Su Shi was the magistrate of Mizhou.
In the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the bright moon was in the sky and the silver light was shining, Su Shi remembered Su Zhe who had been away for seven years. The poet raised his glass to look at the moon, and his heart was filled with infinite reverie. Zhang Ruoxu's spoony questioning about who first saw the moon on the riverside and when the moon shone on people echoed in Su Shi's heart. Can't help but touch the scene and think about people.
At the beginning of this word, the heroic spirit drained straight into "asking for wine", which seemed to take away some authors' depression and anger smartly. "I don't know what year it is in the Palace Que in heaven and what year it is tonight" compares heaven and earth, highlighting his ambivalence of "being an official" and "hiding" at that time. The poet is dissatisfied with reality and hopes for purity in heaven. But the sky is just like the earth, and it is also not perfect, and it is the same kind of defect. Looking at the Moon Palace from afar, Su Shi seems to dance with Chang 'e, and he is in Yaochi Wonderland, dancing and shadowing with a touch of drunken frivolity.
As the moonlight moves, it shines low on the doors and windows, making it difficult for the poets in the room to sleep. Sleepless loneliness and the sadness of separation from relatives can only be asked by the full moon. But the author knows that people's clutch and the circle of the moon are from the right. Knowing this, there should be "no hatred", so that feelings turn to reason and turn grief into broadmindedness. "I hope that people will live for a long time, and cicadas will bloom for thousands of miles" expresses the author's optimistic attitude: as long as people are always there, even if they are separated by thousands of miles, they can enjoy a bright moon together, as if they were close at hand.
this word is full of praise for the moon, which is the central image of the word, but it is suitable for people everywhere. In the full moon, there is a strong philosophical meaning, and the artistic conception of the word is illusory: words shuttle between fantasy and reality' thoughts wander between heaven and earth. The lonely author finally found a way out: the joys and sorrows of separation and the anguish of political path can only be dispelled by self-forgiveness, and can only be laughed off with a broad-minded smile.
