Poetic view of Wang Jiangong's ci

The magnificent spirit of the palace, the majestic golden halls, the overlapping courtyards of the Yuan Dynasty, the immortals cast in copper, and the lotus-shaped exposed floor with rubies in their hands are towering like clouds. On the first day of the first lunar month, Emperor Taiping paid homage to the Emperor of Heaven, and the emperor traveled with extraordinary style. The royal car is exquisitely carved and colorful, and the six horses are tall and magnificent.

The original text of Gong Ci I by Wang Jian in Tang Dynasty:

The Golden Palace is heavy, and the cactus is covered with hibiscus.

Taiping Tian Zi faces Yuanri, and five-color clouds drive six dragons.

Translation:

Opposite is the Golden Throne Hall, facing the Yuan Pavilion. The copper cast fairy holds a lotus dew tray made of ruby. Emperor Taiping worships heaven on the first day of the first lunar month, and the emperor rides a six-horse float.

Wang Jian's Gong Ci consists of 100 poems, describing the life of maids. It is said that these materials came from Wang Shoucheng, an imperial clan that served as a housekeeper.

Chronicle of Tang Poems records a story about 100 Palace Poems: When Wang Jian was a native of Wei Nan, he met an eunuch, Wang Shumi, and they had a very speculative talk and took each other as their own family. But then everyone had some opinions. After Wang Jian wrote the palace poems, he gave a banquet with Wang Shumi one day. Wang Jian talked about the Emperor Huan and the Emperor Ling in the Han Dynasty, because he trusted eunuchs, which caused the ignorance of persecuting intellectuals in the party.

When Wang Shumi heard this, he felt that Wang Jian was satirizing himself. He was very unhappy. He said to Wang Jian, "The palace poems written by my brother are told all over the world, and the palace is a hidden place. I wonder how you know these things? " Wang Jian felt unable to answer at that time, fearing that Uncle Wang would accuse him of Luo Zhi.

After a day or two, I wrote a poem for Wang Shumi, which said: Go to the imperial court first and sit in the town, and now it will be a good spring palace. Take off your royal clothes and come in and teach the dragon horse to ride. Chang Cheng's secret purpose is to return home less, but he left the temple alone late. Isn't it true that you are in charge of this family and often tell others about it?

The meaning of this poem is: In the past, emperors followed you, whether in line or sitting, but today's emperors lived in the East Palace and grew up as princes. Only you can wear the imperial clothes that the emperor took off, and horses from outside often try for you.

Because they often accept secret orders, they rarely go home, and sometimes they are left in the temple to report the border defense situation alone, so that they come out very late. If your brother hadn't told me these things repeatedly, how could outsiders know what was in the palace?

In this way, he said that Wang Shumi told him the contents of the palace words. When Wang Shumi saw this poem, he was afraid of being bound by him and didn't dare to report him.
