The starry river is bright and pale

[Author] Li Jizheng ? [Dynasty] Song Dynasty

The starry river is bright and pale. The spring is in its depths. The red lotus is blooming all over the city. The city is in full bloom. The streets are forbidden to be filled with music, and the dark dust and fragrance of the sky are all over my face. The moon is as near and far as the people.

The sky is half ao mountain, light moving phoenix building two views. The first time I saw this is when I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new car, and then you'll be able to get your hands on a new car. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

Li Zuizheng was a man at the turn of the Song Dynasty.

The lyrics are about the lantern festival on the night of the New Year in Bianjing. In the Northern Song Dynasty, "the peace has been long, the people are prosperous", "the seasons are in succession, each has its own appreciation", and the Lantern Festival has naturally become one of the grand festivals, especially in Bianliang, the capital city. Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Dreaming Records" has a detailed record of this, and the famous lyricists of the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Liu Yong, Ouyang Xiu, Zhou Bangyan, etc., have all written words to sing about the Lantern Festival.

The words are written from far and near, starting with the sky scene and the season.

The two sentences of "the starry river is bright and light", the first sentence is written in the night sky, and the second sentence is written in the season. On the night of the first yuan, the moon is full, so the "Star River" (Milky Way) looks bright. At this time, although the spring has arrived, but the remaining cold still exists, sometimes repeated, so the spring suddenly deep and shallow. These two sentences write out the natural seasonal characteristics of the New Year's Eve.

"Red Lotus" this sentence into the writing of the lamp. The "red lotus" refers to the lotus-shaped lamps. Chen Yuanliang, "the time of the year," cited "the time of the year miscellany," said: "on the yuan lamp lance system, to bamboo a book, on which the broken for twenty, or sixteen; each of the two to linen and tie the pin, and bend which, to paper, then into a lotus leaf; each of the two leaf pressure, then into the lotus bloom.

The lamp which, next to the insertion of bushels of lotus scissors grass under the flower ." This is the shape of the red lotus lamp and production methods . "Red lotus bloomed all over the city", this sentence "open" word and from the lotus itself, flowers and lamps related to the two meanings, this approach to write to people with a happy sense of beauty.

"Forbidden Street" two sentences, written in the capital city to see the crowd of lanterns, the scene of the lively . The "forbidden street" refers to the streets of the capital. Lantern night, the people almost all go to the street, to go to the line of music to see the fun, so as to get everywhere dust roll; and ladies of the orchid musk fragrance, but from time to time into the nose, so that people want to get drunk. "Dark dust fragrance brushing the face" sentence, both from Su taste poem and Zhou Bangyan words to transform out. Su Taste's poem "The Night of the Fifteenth Day of the First Moon" reads, "The dark dust goes with the horses, and the bright moon comes with the people." Zhou Bangyan's poem "Explaining the Language and Flowers" reads: "The shadows of the people are different, and the road is full of fragrant musk." The author combines the meanings of Su's poem and Zhou's words into one sentence, which increases the capacity of the sentence, and because of this, the soundness of the meaning of the words is somewhat weaker. The line "The white moon is near and far with the people" is the same as the line "The white moon is near and far with the people" in Su's poem. This is a translation of Su's poem, "The bright moon follows the people". At this time, the author shifted his sight to the sky, only to see a round white moon, like an affectionate companion, "following people near and far". This phenomenon of the moon following people, ordinary people also feel, but by the author into the subjective feelings, decorated with new and ingenious pen, will see extraordinary. Su Dongpo read this line and said: "good 'bright moon with people near and far'!" He probably appreciated the skillfulness of the brushwork. It combines with the previous line "the dark dust scented Buddha's face" to describe the night of New Year's Eve with the beauty of the earth and the sky. The first piece of the end of this sentence, so that the word has opened up, contrast, is indeed a successful stroke.

The next piece of writing the lively Lantern Festival. And the ink focuses on describing the king's enjoyment. "The day half of the Ao Shan" three sentences, aimed at writing the emperor sitting on the imperial building to see the lights. "Ao Shan" is a kind of Lantern Scene in the Lantern Festival. This kind of lantern is made by stacking thousands of colorful lanterns into a big mountain like the legendary giant ao ("half of the sky" describes its height), which is also known as "mountain scaffolding" and "cai shan". For example, "Tokyo Dreaming Hua Hunting" reads, "Since the winter solstice before the year, the Kaifeng Prefectural Government strangled the mountain shed, standing wood facing the Xuan De Building." "Fenglou two views" refers to the Xuande building, which is the main entrance building of the Danei (the palace). Tokyo Dreaming Records" "Dane" section of the cloud: "Dane main gate Xuan De building five doors, doors are gold nails and paint, walls are masonry, engraved with the shape of the building phoenix and flying clouds, all carved roofs and tiles, steep corner rafter; covered with glazed tiles, curved dolors, Zhu bar color threshold, the following two Quejing opposite, all with red fork. " From the records of this book, "Fenglou" is Xuande building, "two views" is its east and west two "Quejing". The emperor sat upstairs to see, ao mountain on the ten million colored lamps, bright and brilliant, make him feel very pleasing to the eye, so it is said that "light moving phoenix building two view". Song Dynasty emperor is generally hanging down the curtain to watch the lights, for example, "Tokyo Dreaming Records" and the cloud: "Xuande upstairs, all hanging yellow edge curtains, in one is the imperial seat. With yellow Luo set up a colorful shed, the imperial dragon straight yellow cover palm fan, listed in the curtain outside." "The east wind is quiet, the curtain is not rolled" sentence, said this is the case. And with the "east wind quiet" three words, then the natural and personnel intermingled with the realm of all embodied.

"The jade carriage will return" three sentences, write the emperor's imperial chariot back to the palace. The Tokyo Dreaming Records" also cloud: "to three drums, upstairs to small red yarn lantern ball edge of the rope to the mid-air, all know that the car drive back to carry on." At this time, the upstairs band playing orchestra. The sound of boiling music seemed to come from beyond the clouds. This is the meaning of "The Jade Carriage is about to return, and the strings and pipes are heard outside the clouds". The phrase "recognizing the shadow of the palace flowers" means that the officials followed the emperor back. Just as the section "Driving back to the guards" of Tokyo Meng Hua Lu says: "When driving back, the emperor wrapped his hat, pinned a flower and rode on the horse, and the ministers who followed the emperor before and after him, and the hundreds of ministers and horses, were all given flowers." Cai Jie's "Tiewei Mountain Series" Volume 1 also said: "the state banquet, give officials flowers have three products:? Where the big gift after the thanks, the first yuan festival tour of spring, or the honor of jinmingchi, qionglinyuan, from the ministers are escorted and with the car and car, there is a small banquet is called to the imperial (given to the group of ministers feast), where the imperial is used to drop powder and gold flowers, extremely rare carry on." From these records, it can be seen that when the emperor returned to the palace, the ministers pinned the palace flowers on their hats, and thus the shadow of the flowers turned under the colorful lamps. This write bureaucrats follow the return, is very vivid. This style to the Southern Song Dynasty still exists. For example, the Old Story of Wulin, Volume 1, "Complimentary Thanks" section describes: "The Royal Banquet Hua, the hundred officials guards and mandarins and other hairpins from the driver, strands of green and gold, each competing with the gorgeous, look at it like embroidery. Jiang Baishi wrote a poem: 'Ten thousand hairpins filled the royal street, the saints first returned from Jingling; I don't know how many flowers are behind, but I see the red clouds coming.'" These records can be verified with the words.

This is a word depicting the seasonal scenery. This kind of words is more difficult to write, the Southern Song Dynasty's Zhang Yan once lamented: "In the past, people singing festival sequence, not only not much, pay the song of the throat, such as the rate of vulgarity." (The Origin of Words) This song can hardly be said to be of high artistic achievement either, as it leaves more traces of Su's flavorful poems and Zhou's. However, this song provides a good example of how the Northern Song Dynasty was like, and how it was like. However, this song provides the customary scenes of the Lantern Festival in Bianjing, the capital of Northern Song Dynasty, especially the scene of the emperor watching the lanterns, which can be corroborated with the historical records and has the value of recognizing the history. This song can also be changed after its predecessor, and the description is more vivid. It should also be pointed out that, with this tune is the author's first words (see "can change Zhai Man Book"), flat and oblique sound rhyme, are very appropriate, the creation of the tone of the work, should not be buried.

Li Jizheng, word Ji Bing, Putian (now Fujian) people. He was a native of Putian (now part of Fujian). He and his uncle, Li Zongshi, were famous in the Imperial College of Science and Technology, and were known as "Big and Little Li". In the fifth year of Zhenghe's reign (1115), Li Zhi Bing was a scholar, and he has been known as Deqing, Nanjian, and Chaoyang. For his deeds, see Putuyang literature biography, Volume 1.5. Wu Zeng "can change the Zhai Ramblings" Volume 1.6: "Music House has 'bright moon by people' words, Li Taishi wrote the score, Li Jizheng system of words. Li Jizheng made the words. Jizheng also made the order "Full Moon", which was especially popular. Recently, it was thought that it was made by Wang Duwei, but it was not." Two words exist.
