Li Qingzhao's slow whisper

From the Southern Song Dynasty poet Li Qingzhao's "Sound Slow"

Looking around, lonely and sad. It's the hardest thing to lose interest when it's warm and cold (1). Three glasses of light wine, it's hard to beat him. He's late. Yan Guo is also the saddest thing, but he is an old acquaintance.

Yellow flowers were piled all over the floor, withered and damaged. Who can pick them now? Looking out the window, how can a person be dark? Indus is raining in Mao Mao, dripping at dusk. This time, what a sad sentence!

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, ancient writers used prose as their fu, while musicians used slow words as their fu. Slow words have the descriptive characteristics of fu, which are smooth, uniform and changeable, and can be called "fu" Li Qingzhao's Slow Whispering has been well-known for hundreds of years. As far as its content is concerned, it is simply a sad autumn poem. Only by reading in the form of fu can we achieve its purpose. This word by Li Qingzhao is creative in practice. The original tone of Slow Sound is flat and flat, and the tone is slow. However, the word was changed to rhyme, and repeated use of reduplicated words and disyllabic words made the slow change into urgency and the sad change into sadness. This word is proud and indulgent, neither euphemistic nor vague, and cannot be included in the graceful style.

After the change of Jingkang, Li Qingzhao's country was broken, her family died, her husband died and she was injured. During this period, her works were no longer fresh and pleasant, nor shallow and low-key, but turned to melancholy and sadness, mainly expressing the memory of her late husband Zhao Mingcheng and her lonely and desolate situation. Slowly Searching is one of the typical representative works of this period.

The first sentence of this word is unusual, and seven groups of overlapping words are used in succession. Not only in lyrics, but also in lyrics. But the benefits don't stop there. These seven groups of overlapping words are also very musical. Song Ci is used for singing, so the harmony of timbre is very important. Li Qingzhao has profound attainments in melody, so when these seven groups of overlapping words are read out, it feels like pearls of all sizes are poured on a plate of jade. I only feel that my tongue and tongue are singing back and forth repeatedly, wandering in the downturn, and being sad tactfully, as if I heard a very sad person whispering. However, before she spoke, she felt that she could make the audience feel her sadness, and when she finished, the sadness still did not dissipate. An inexplicable sadness permeates my heart, permeates the air, and lingers for a long time, with endless aftertaste.

In a bad mood, coupled with the hot and cold weather, the poet can't even sleep. If you can sleep, you can escape the pain in a short time, but the more you want to sleep, the harder it is to sleep, so the poet naturally thinks of her dead husband. Get dressed and get up and have a drink to warm up. But a cold is caused by loneliness. Drinking, like drinking tea, will only make you feel particularly uncomfortable when you are alone.

Holding a glass of light wine, when the clouds were low and the wind was cold, I suddenly heard a lonely goose whine. The plaintive voice pierced the sky, once again piercing the poet's unhealed wound. My head is white and my husband flies with me. Alas, Yaner, you are crying so sadly. Are you widowed in old age like me? Like me, do you have to face Wan Li Mountain and Qian Shan Sunset Snow alone for the rest of your life? Under the delusion, in the misty tears, I suddenly feel that the lonely goose is the person who sent a love letter to himself before. There is nothing to do, flowers bloom and fall, and it seems familiar that Yan returns. The old love messenger is still there, but Qiu Niang and Xiao Lang separated after their death, and people and ghosts went their separate ways. Things are wrong, people are wrong, and tears flow first. How much unspeakable sadness this whimsy contains!

At this time, I saw those chrysanthemums, only to find that the flowers were gaunt and red all over the floor, without the elegance of "the wine in the east fence is filled with faint fragrance after dusk" Before, when her husband was alive, he sang poems and sorted out ancient books. How wonderful, but now? I am the only one left in this endless loneliness. So things are different and people are completely different. "Old weather, old clothes, only feelings, can't be like the past." Facing the lonely geese and chrysanthemums alone, I feel even more desolate. I put my cheeks in my hands and my eyes were full of tears. Fear of dusk, gain day. In the face of this gloomy day, how can a person endure until dusk? Longness makes loneliness even more terrible. A person, even time feels slow.

Finally, at dusk, it began to rain again. Bit by bit, tick by tick, the endless rain is as thin as sadness, which makes people more annoyed. Look at the two phoenix trees outside the house. Although they support each other in the wind and rain, they depend on each other, but in comparison, being alone is much more bleak.

Sudden wind and rain, lonely geese, broken chrysanthemums and phoenix trees, all in sight, make the poet's sorrow overlap and overlap until it is difficult to describe and express. So the poet no longer needs any comparison, any rendering, or anything better than Fu Xing. He simply said, "How can I miss a sad word this time?" Simple and straightforward, but more magical, more charming and more chewy. In contrast, even Li Houzhu's "How much sorrow can there be, just like a river flowing eastward" is slightly eclipsed. Although there is endless spring water in a river, it can be described after all. The poet's melancholy is indescribable, so he is naturally better.

Previous comments on this word were characterized by a series of overlapping words in the first three sentences. But if you only pay attention to this layer, you will inevitably lose. This word describes the protagonist's sad mood all day, but it begins with "looking for". It can be seen that she felt bored and lost after getting up, so she looked around, as if people wandering in the ocean had to catch something to be saved, hoping to find something to pin their emptiness and loneliness on. The following "cold and clear" is the result of "searching". Instead of finding anything, I was attacked by a lonely and cold atmosphere, which made me feel sad and sad. Then I wrote another sentence, "sad and miserable." These three sentences, a sad and biting atmosphere enveloped the whole article, making readers hold their breath. This is the result of the so-called "I can't stop", because I have a lot of feelings about generate and have to spit it out quickly.

The phrase "it's cold at first" is also one of the difficulties of this word. This word was written in autumn, but the climate in autumn should be said to be "love at first sight", which can only be used in early spring. This is about a morning, not a season's weather. In the early morning of autumn, the morning sun rises, so it is said that "it is warm and cold at first"; However, Han Xiao is still heavy and the autumn wind is biting, so it is called "still cold". Regarding the word "time", some people think that it should be interpreted as "season and climate" in ancient Chinese; However, Liu Yong's "Eternal Happiness" said: "The wind is soothing, the day is peaceful, and the time is new." It is a relatively short time from rainy to new, which shows that the word "time" is no different from modern Chinese in Song Dynasty. The sentence "is the most difficult to arouse interest" echoes the sentence "looking for" above, indicating that I don't know what to do since early in the morning.

The following "three cups and two glasses of wine, how can you beat him?" "Xiao" and "Xiao", commonly known as "late", are another focus of debate. Notes on Yu Pingbo s Selected Interpretation of Tang and Song Ci;

Dawn is coming, each song is mostly "late", almost all because of the "dusk" below. In fact, writing for a day is not a matter of one night. If the cloud "comes late and the wind is urgent", it will be repeated. The above "three cups and two glasses of wine" is morning wine, that is, the word "Niannujiao" is called "holding your head to sober up"; In the following, the word "geese fly too far" means "Zheng Hong flies too far". Today, I use all kinds of books to write "",such as Caotang poetry anthology, comprehensive poetry anthology and Zhang poetry anthology.
