Original text and translation of Li Qingzhao's Dream Pavilion.

Like a dream: I always remember the sunset in the pavilion, and I don't know where to go when I am drunk. Back to the boat at night, strayed into the depths of the lotus. Fight for crossing the river! Fight for crossing the river! Frightened, all the egrets in the shallows flew away.

I often remember the night I visited the pavilion, and I was so intoxicated that I forgot the way home. It was already dark when I had a good time. I rowed back, but I accidentally entered the depths of the lotus pond. Paddle hard, paddle hard, but wake up the seagulls all over the beach.

"Like a Dream" is a poem written by Li Qingzhao, a poet in the Song Dynasty. This is a work of reminiscing about past travel.

Ci expresses the interest and mood of her early life in a unique way, and gives people enough beautiful enjoyment with a short scale in a beautiful and pleasant realm.

Appreciate:

"I always remember the sunset in Xiting, and I don't know the way back when I am drunk." The word "Chang Ji" is used at the beginning of the poem, which not only shows that the work is a work of reminiscing about the past, but also shows that the content of reminiscence has left a very deep impression on the poet's mind. "Xiting" refers to the pavilion by the stream; "Sunset" refers to the evening of a day. In the sentence of "intoxicated", the lyric hero of the work appeared, that is, the poet himself. After a happy day in the beautiful pavilion next to Qingxi, she was supposed to go home in the evening, but she was "drunk" and "didn't know the way home". But the word "intoxicated" here can't be understood literally, but embodies the silly modality of a girl and contains a pure physical beauty. More importantly, what really enchants the poet is not only the mellow wine, but also the natural beauty.

"When you are busy, you will return to the boat at night and go into the depths of the lotus." Next, the word "Xing Jin" is used to highly summarize the happy activities of the whole day, leaving all the details to the readers to imagine. Since it is "intoxicated and I don't know the way back", it will of course "wander to the depths of the lotus", and the plot between the lines develops naturally. On the clear water, there are clusters of huge lotus leaves, and countless pink or white lotus flowers, surrounded by green leaves, quietly bloom in the evening breeze. A wandering boat, carrying an elegant girl, lost her way home in the dark green fragrance in the depths of the lotus.

Like a dream, "crossing the river, a beach of gulls and herons." The word "how to cross" is repeatedly used at the end of the word, meaning "how can I row the boat out", which vividly reproduces the anxious modality and urgent tone of the young poet at that time. Write the sentence "Start a beach of seagulls and herons". In fact, seagulls and herons flying on the beach are just foil; What I really fear is the poet himself. Work came to an abrupt end here. What happened later? Although the poet didn't say it clearly, it is not difficult for readers to imagine that this is just a false alarm. The missing ship and the girl on board finally saved the day and returned home safely. Why else would she write this work later? But this incident did leave an unforgettable impression on the poet's mind, so when she recalled it in her works, the scenery was still so vivid and the modality was so vivid, which left a more unforgettable impression on countless readers in later generations.
