This word creates an image of a homesick woman who is deeply looking forward to her husband's return (or her lover's return, who doesn't understand the meaning seriously) with an ethereal pen. The meaning is straightforward and easy to understand. But to understand its subtlety, we still need to ponder it carefully.
Wen Tingyun is ugly and is called "Wen Zhong Kui". However, he is proficient in music and has a quick mind. It is said that he writes poems with eight rhymes, so he is known as "literary octagon". When he was young, he was unruly and led a dissolute life. He has been a prostitute for a long time and the rulers don't like him. At that time, it was despised by literati as "talented without talent" and "vulgar but dusty" He tries again and again, but he often writes for others. Ended up wandering. Wen was the first poet who wrote a lot of ci in Tang Dynasty. He established the stylistic position of Ci in the literary world with his own creative practice. His words "write more about women's feelings", with less political content, and try to be "gorgeous". Huajian School respected him as "the originator of Huajian Ci".
After washing, I boarded the river pavilion alone and leaned against the bar to stare at the river.
In just eight words, I wrote the lonely life situation of this woman and the eagerness to look forward to the return of her sweetheart. After getting up early and dressing, she leaned against the building eagerly, staring at the sailboats passing by the river, waiting for her husband's return with deep affection. "Let's freshen up" is concise and meaningful, leaving a lot of imagination for readers. This is not an ordinary person getting up in the morning to freshen up, but an emotional reflection of happiness and excitement when thinking of a woman preparing to welcome her long-lost lover back. The pain of parting and the loneliness of lovesickness seem to have all become the past, and what awaits her will be the return of the only thrill. These three words vividly show the woman's deep feelings and longing for a better life.
After all, Qian Fan is nothing,
The number of ships is used to express her long-term gaze and longing for return, and the sharp turn of "nothing" reflects her deep disappointment. Here, the author uses a little pen and ink to make people realize the feeling of missing women.
The oblique view is full of water.
The ship was empty and hopes were dashed. At this time, what attracts the thinking woman's attention is "the oblique view of water." Unintentionally, the water is heartless, but at this moment I suddenly have affection: the sunset is about to set, and I am deeply affectionate to my wife, unable to bear to leave, quietly collecting the afterglow; Endless rivers seem to understand her mood, silently and silently passing away. The longing of a thinking woman from morning till night ends in disappointment.
Broken-hearted Baipingzhou.
Her eyes converged on Baipingzhou from Xie Hui and Jiang Shui. Bai Pingzhou is the place where she broke up with her lover. Jiangzhou is still like this now. Can she not be heartbroken?
This word is less than 30 words, but it contains a lot of content:
As far as time is concerned, it contains a lot of content. From early morning to dusk; As far as scenery is concerned, from Qian Fan Loutou to Xie Hui, Jiang Shui and Baipingzhou; As far as the inner feelings of the characters are concerned, it is from hope to disappointment, and finally sadness. The scenery is endless and the mood is ups and downs.
The second is the technique of sketching and expressing directly, which melts feelings into the scenery and shows subtle and delicate feelings. "Women are pleasing to themselves." She got up early to dress up, thinking that her lover would definitely come back today, so she went upstairs and stared. The author described everything she could see, but Qian Fan didn't go home. At this time, women's feelings are complicated, and their emotions will change with the passage of time. The excitement and joy when climbing the stairs for the first time, the anxiety that can't wait, and the deep nostalgia for the past ... The author described the emotional changes of thinking women delicately and intensively, but he didn't understand it, but let the readers feel it by describing the scenery.
The third is to write the sunset glow and flowing water in an anthropomorphic way, which implies that the thinking woman is sad and resentful because of disappointment. The sun is about to set, and I am deeply affectionate to the disappointed woman, unable to bear to leave, quietly receiving the afterglow; The endless river seems to understand her mood, and she flows away silently. This "oblique photo" and "river water" are conveying the complex interweaving of this woman's love and hate, lovesickness and disappointment, longing and sadness. This technique of using scenery description to contrast psychology is wonderful.
Summary: This word, like a beautiful landscape axis, vividly depicts the image of a thinking woman and describes her mood in detail. There are no rushing waves in the river on the screen, only helpless sighs. Even the afterglow of the sunset is shrouded in nameless gloom and resentment that cannot be dispelled. There are also railings along the river, small sailboats and distant continents, which are fascinating and intriguing. The whole poem is fresh and elegant, without carving, with broad artistic conception, distant feelings, sincere feelings, beautiful and natural, which can be called a boutique.
In just 27 words, it implicitly describes the myriad tenderness of women, which fascinates countless readers in ancient and modern times.
The word "wash and dress" at the beginning is a slightly festive prelude, which contains deep affection. As Sima Qian's "Report to Ren 'an" said, "Scholars are used for confidants, and women are pleasing to themselves." In ancient times, traffic was inconvenient and information was difficult to get through. Although the lover who misses his wife doesn't go home, he may suddenly go home at any time and place. Therefore, my wife has this homework every day, meticulous, caring for her hair and making up, which has become this gentle and charming posture. As the saying goes, "A long separation is better than a new marriage". A woman who is homesick not only always looks forward to her husband's return, but also shows her radiant youthful charm when he arrives, arouses her long-lost love and improves the quality of her long-lost love! "Alone on the Wangjiang Tower" is the continuation and deepening of psychology and behavior after the last sentence of "grooming". Alone on the Wangjiang Tower, God knows the boat, full of affection and hope; Another day of passion, how unusual and beautiful. The word "independence" in this sentence also has a special meaning. Sifu is beautifully dressed and afraid of being seen by others, which is a portrayal of her sense of shame. Therefore, looking out and expecting the lover's behavior is a sign of a thoughtful woman's special identity and has a sad aesthetic effect.
From "dressing up" to "looking at Qian Fan" is a long and unbearable anxious time, but it is a hope blurred by a rosy dream. Next, the word "nothing" suddenly tore the dream to pieces and threw Sifu into a desperate situation again: it seems that today is a waste of time! A cavity of melancholy has turned into a long river with an oblique pulse. This is the saddest moment. The combing and overlooking during the day not only did not solve the sadness, but aggravated the depression.
There is another meaning in the sentence "The sunset is full of love the water", that is, it aggravates the homesickness. This ignorant oblique light and the long river embrace and fall in love at this time of the day, lingering in the dusk, and can't bear to break up suddenly, drawing a beautiful picture that can't see the sun, so glorious. Isn't it a symbol of human husband and wife's male ploughing and female weaving, and their husbands sing along with their wives? That's the way it is. How can people be inferior and how can they not let a thoughtful woman break her heart? "
"heartbroken" comes from "Shi Shuo Xin Yu": a story, which describes the extreme lovesickness of a homesick woman. "Baizizhou" is not idle writing, because "Apple" is aquatic plants, and apples and water are interdependent, and apples will die if they lose water. A woman can't live with her sweetheart, isn't it just like a waterless bottle? Can you not be sad when you are touched by the scene?
Poetry is expensive and implicit. Wen Tingyun is well versed in women's psychology. In a few words, thinking about women without thinking about them is a swan song throughout the ages.
Appreciation 2:
"Wash and Dress, Leaning Alone on the Wangjiang Tower" is about the heroine getting up in the morning, rushing to wash and dress, and leaning alone on the Wangjiang Tower to look out. From these eight words, we should be able to read several meanings:
(1) "Wash and Dress" points out that the time is in the morning, which also paves the way for the evening (oblique light) below. Mr. Tang Guizhang said in A Brief Interpretation of Tang and Song Ci that this is the toilet after a nap. If the time is short for half a day, the following sentence "After Qian Fan" will be lost for a long time, which seems to be undesirable.
(2) Wash and Dress implies the heroine's expectation of longing to go home. If it weren't for this mood, she might be as lazy as Wen said in his words, "Bodhisattva crosses the river and the hills overlap with gold." "A woman is pleasing to herself" is meaningful to her sweetheart. It is precisely because she expects her husband to come back and hope that he can see his beautiful appearance that she will dress carefully.
(3) The word "strike" followed by "solitary" reflects the heroine's eagerness-get up at dawn and rush to Jianglou as soon as she finishes grooming.
(4) Since she hurried to Jianglou early in the morning and looked out a little, she should still feel that her thoughts should not be suddenly generated after getting up in the morning. She may have stayed up all night last night and missed it all night. Or she dreamed of good omen last night, so she couldn't wait to get to Wangjianglou early.
(5) Further, from today to yesterday, from yesterday to the day before yesterday, did she come here every day to look forward to her return?
The word "independence" not only expresses her loneliness, but also implies her separation from her sweetheart, and also echoes the following symbol of "Bai Pingzhou" (see below for details).
"Too many Qian Fan are nothing", she wrote the process of alternating hope and disappointment. Every time there is a boat in the distance, she is looking forward to it. As the boat gets closer, her heart is getting more and more nervous and her hope is getting bigger and bigger. But the ship moved relentlessly at the top of the building. How disappointed she was when she realized that this was not the ship she was waiting for!
But at this moment, she is not completely disappointed. Her fantasy urges her to look into the distance again ... In this way, in the alternation of countless hopes and disappointments, her inner injury is getting more and more serious. At the same time, this sentence also shows the long time she expected, her infatuation and persistence. "Qian Fan" is synonymous with "a thousand ships", but this is not just a difference in rhetorical methods. The farther the boat is on the water, the more you can see the sail instead of the boat. Li Bai's "Lonely sail shadows the sky, only the Yangtze River flows in the sky" is about getting on the boat and turning it upside down. Isn't this how the homesick woman looks forward to getting on the boat? Therefore, a word "sail" leads the reader's eyes to the distance, making the reader think between the lines. Women are looking forward to people's return.
It's time for the sun to set, and the expectations in the morning gradually fade away with the setting sun. This oblique glow is still affectionate and infinitely sympathetic to the unfortunate situation of the heroine. Why did the person she expected be so heartless and abandon her? Running water is the endless tenderness in the heroine's heart, her youth passing away day by day, and endless infinite sadness.
"heartbroken Bai Pingzhou", when the sadness is full and the twilight fades, the heroine's eyes just meet Bai Pingzhou, where they broke up that year. How can she not be heartbroken? Zhu Guangqian believes that "deleting the words' heartbroken Bai Pingzhou' means more endless." Because of the first few words, I have written the image of a homesick woman leaning against the building waiting for someone to return but disappointed again and again. The sentence "Xie Hui" is full of emotion, which is enough to give people unlimited association space. If you paint "heartbroken" and spill it everywhere, the spirit and form are gone, that is failure. This is very reasonable.
In addition, it should be noted that "Wangjianglou" and "Baipingzhou" have their own advantages. Wangjianglou is located on the Jinjiang River outside the East Gate of Chengdu, Sichuan. Baipingzhou is the name of the Tang Dynasty, and now it is called Lianhuazhuang, which is located on the Tiaoxi River in the southeast of Huzhou, Zhejiang. But in this word, neither is the exact meaning. Wangjianglou here refers to a building overlooking the river, which cannot be understood as a place alone. Baipingzhou refers to a small house with white apples in the river. White apple is a kind of grass floating in water, and its color is white. In ancient times, men and women often picked apple flowers to give away, so white apple island was often used as a reference in ancient poems.
Another feature of the whole poem is the use of emotional relaxation. (1) "Qian Fan too much is nothing" contains thousands of small emotional relaxation; (2) From this day on, it is another big relaxation process-from the nervous look full of expectation when we set sail for the first time in the morning to the heartbreaking loss in the oblique photo; (3) Due to the limitation of space, the poet only captures the hope of missing a woman for one day, but if the separation of missing a woman and missing a lover is not a day, then her missing is naturally not a day. In this perennial yearning, isn't her mood a greater relaxation process?
