Dynasty: Song Dynasty Author: Liu Yong
Rain Lin Bells is Liu Yong's famous masterpiece. It was written when the poet was disillusioned with his career and had to leave the capital city (Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng, Henan Province), and it is a very representative piece that expresses the feelings of exile in the rivers and lakes. It is a very representative piece that expresses the feeling of being in exile in the rivers and lakes. The lyric writes about the feelings of parting, and achieves the artistic realm of blending the scenes. The main content of the lyric is to use the cold and bleak autumn scenery as a backdrop to express the feelings of separation from the lover. The two pains, the disillusionment of the eunuch's journey and the parting of the lover, are intertwined, making the lyricist feel even more bleak and uncertain about the future.
The whole lyric is divided into two sections.
The first section is about a pair of lovers who are having a hard time parting.
The first section begins with the words "The cold cicadas are woeful. The first three lines of the song are about the environment, pointing out that the season of farewell is the cold and desolate autumn, the place is the pavilion outside Bianjing, and the specific time is the cold dusk after the rain. However, the lyricist does not purely and objectively recount the natural scenery, but through the description of the scenery and the rendering of the atmosphere, he melts the feelings into the scenery and implies the meaning of farewell. When it was autumn, the scene was already gloomy; and when it was late in the day, the twilight was gloomy; and after the sudden pouring of rain, it was followed by the bleakness of the cicadas: what the wordsmith saw and heard, everywhere was bleak. In addition, in the sentence "to the evening of the pavilion", the syntax structure is one, two, one, extremely staccato swallowing, more accurately conveys this bleak flavor.
The last two lines of the poem "Drinking in the tent of the capital" are about the situation of parting. In the last two lines, "the tent is set up outside the capital," which implies that you are not satisfied with your career, and you have parted with your lover. The word "clueless" refers to not being able to make sense of the situation, and it has the meaning of "cut and cut, but also messy". It shows the thought of not being able to bear to leave but not being able to part with someone else. "The boat is in a hurry to leave". At the time when it is difficult to part, the boatman again bursts "urge hair". The fact that the boat was not in a position to be used for the purpose of the story reveals the ruthlessness of reality and the pain of the lyricist's heart.
"I've been looking at each other's eyes with tears in my eyes, but I'm speechless and choking on my own words." It is the scene of having to say goodbye. A pair of lovers, holding hands tightly, tearful eyes, no one can not say a word. These two sentences put each other's grief, attachment and helpless mood, written to the fullest extent. A pair of lovers sadness and loss of spirit, jumped on the paper. This is the technique of white description, the so-called "language does not seek strange, but the meaning of dense".
"I've been thinking about going away, thousands of miles of smoke and mist, and the sky is vast." Write the anticipation of thoughts after goodbye. The main character's gloomy mood in the lyrics painted a shadow on the color of the sky and the water. The word "miss" tells the reader that the following scenery is imagined. The word "go" means to go farther and farther away. These two words are used very well, unwilling to go but have to go, containing the infinite sorrow of the departed. As long as the boat is anchored, it will go farther and farther away, and along the way, the twilight mist is deep, the smoke and waves are thousands of miles, and finally drifting to the vast and boundless south. The depth of sadness and the bitterness of parting hate are overflowing. From the structure of the lyric, these two sentences are shifted from the actual writing in the first section to the imaginary writing in the second section, which has the function of carrying on the previous and starting the next.
The next section focuses on the imagined sorrows after the farewell.
The next section is a generalization, from the individual to the general, and comes up with a philosophy of life: "Sentimentality has always been a source of sadness and sadness at parting". The first is that it is not the first time that a person has ever been in love with a woman, but it is the first time that a person has ever been in love with a woman. The two words "since ancient times" start from the individual special phenomenon and upgrade to the universal and extensive phenomenon, expanding the meaning of the words. But then the phrase "I can't bear the cold fall of the autumn festival" emphasizes that I have suffered more and more than the common people and the ancients. Jiang Yan said in "Farewell Fugue": "Farewell is the only thing that saddens the soul!" The author melted this feeling of the ancients into his own words, and added layers to create a new meaning.
"Where are you awake tonight? The willow bank dawns the moon." This is to write the state of mind after waking up from the wine, but also his feelings of drifting in the rivers and lakes. These two sentences are wonderful in the use of scenery to write feelings, really do "scene language that is the language of love". "Willow", "stay" harmonic, write difficult to stay away from the feelings; dawn wind cold, write the cold heart after the goodbye; broken moon, write the meaning of this difficult to round. These lines of the scene, the feelings of the lonely and melancholy, lonely and sad feelings of the departed, expressed very fully and truly, to create a unique mood. It is no wonder that it has been praised and become a famous sentence.
And then from the long-term vision of the future: "This is a good time to go for many years, should be a good scene is not set. Then even if there are a thousand kinds of flavor, more with whom to say?" These four lines are deeper to think about the situation after the parting of the miserable not happy. How can we survive the long lonely days afterward? Even if there is a good time and a good view, it is equal to the virtual, because there is no more beloved people and their **** appreciation; further back, even if the beauty of the scenery, can produce some feelings, but to whom to talk about it? In short, everything can not raise interest. These lines portray the lyricist's feelings of longing and sadness to the point of being meticulous and exhaustive, and also convey the mood of mutual concern. The final sentence in the form of a question, the feelings seem more intense.
