What does it mean that silkworms will weave until they die in spring?

Spring silkworms cocoon until they die.

Untitled time was long before I met her, but even longer after we broke up. Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin?

It was a long time ago that I met her, but since we separated, the time has become longer, the east wind is blowing, and a hundred flowers are blooming. Silkworms in spring will weave until they die, and candles will drain the wick every night.

In the morning, she saw her hair cloud changing in the mirror, but she bravely faced the cold of the moonlight with her evening song. There are not many roads to Pengshan. Oh, Bluebird, listen! -Give me what she said! .

The opportunity to meet each other is really hard to get, and it is even more difficult to part when we break up. Moreover, the weather in late spring, the east wind is about to close, is even more sad. Spring silkworms don't spin silk when they die, and wax oil like tears can drip dry when candles are burned to ashes.

Women dress up in front of the mirror in the morning, only worrying that the plump bangs will change color and the youthful appearance will disappear. Men can't sleep at night, so they must feel Leng Yue's aggression. The other party's residence is not far from Penglai Mountain, but there is no road to cross, but it is out of reach. I hope an angel like a bluebird will visit my lover diligently for me.

Extended data:

I knew her a long time ago, but it's been longer since we broke up. I said, Yishan was in a difficult situation at that time. After leaving Xuzhou for Chang 'an, he wanted to go to imperial academy and explain to Hu Ling Mao. At this time, he wanted to find acquaintances to enter through the back door. After Ling Hutao was promoted to the rank of official, he refused to see a guest in order to avoid suspicion, making it difficult for a mountain to meet each other and unwilling to leave, so this famous sentence came into being.

However, the east wind has blossomed, and Yishan was very old at that time. The east wind was unable to save the flowers from dying, reflecting that he could not retain his youth. Silkworms in spring will weave until they die, and every night, candles will drain their wick. This famous saying is dedicated to all those who have struggled for their ideals all their lives.

In the morning, she saw the change of her hair-cloud in the mirror, but she dared to respond to the above sentence with her evening song in the cold moonlight. Youth is hard to stay, the clouds are gray, the wax torch is gray, and the moonlight is very cold.

There are not many roads to Pengshan. Oh, Bluebird, listen! -Give me what she said! . The last sentence came back to life, from the deep despair of "dying" and "turning to ashes" to "there are no multiple roads" It can be seen that the author still has hope and can't refuse.

From now on, it is not difficult to see that this poem was also written for Hu Ling Mao. I hope he can feel his feelings after seeing it. I hope he feels that he is not desperate, but continues to wait for the help of this lifeline.

The more concrete you imagine, the deeper you miss, and the more you will ignite the desire to meet. Since there is no hope of meeting, I have to ask the messenger to pay tribute to myself and visit him in person. This is the last two sentences. Poems often compare immortal couples. Jade bird is the messenger of a goddess, the Queen Mother of the West. Pengshan is a fairy mountain in myths and legends, so here Pengshan is regarded as the symbol of the other party's residence, and Jade Bird appears as the messenger of the lyric hero.

This hope at the end of the messenger has not changed the painful situation of "meeting each other late", but it is a hopeless hope and the future is still slim. When the poem is over, the pain and pursuit of the lyric hero will continue.

This poem is full of pain, disappointment, lingering and persistent feelings from beginning to end. Every couplet in the poem is a reflection of this emotional state, but the specific artistic conception of each couplet is different. They repeatedly show the complex emotions throughout the poem from different sides, and at the same time reflect the psychological process with this complex emotion as its content vertically with their close connection. This continuous, implicit and profound lyricism successfully reproduces the deep affection in my heart.

Li Shangyin had similar descriptions in the first, third, fourth and fifth sentences of his previous poetry creation. The poet was inspired, inherited and used for reference by his predecessors.

However, he did not simply imitate his predecessors, but took a big step forward with high creativity, transforming the original simple means of expression into more tortuous and vivid, so as to reflect richer and deeper thoughts and feelings. In fact, he has removed the old traces and become a new creation. It can be seen that the poet's rich literary accomplishment and exploration of artistic conception and means of expression are important conditions for the success of this poem.
