Original text

"Song of Everlasting Regret" by Bai Juyi

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was obsessed with beauty and wanted to overwhelm the country, and he could not get it for many years. There is a daughter in the Yang family who has just grown up. She is raised in a boudoir and no one knows her.

It’s hard to give up on natural beauty. Once you choose it, you will be on the side of the king. Looking back and smiling, the sixth palace has no color.

In the cold spring, you can bathe in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water will wash away the fat. The waiter helped her weakly, and it was the beginning of her new grace.

The flowers on the temples are swaying with golden steps, and the hibiscus tent warms the spring night. The spring night is short and the sun is high, and from now on the king will not go to court early.

There is no leisure time for Cheng Huan to serve banquets, and he spends all his time traveling from spring to night. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and three thousand people love her.

The golden house is made up to serve as a charming servant at night, and the jade house is drunk and spring after the banquet. Sisters and brothers are all from the earth, poor and glorious.

This makes the hearts of parents all over the world not to be reborn as boys but to be reborn as girls. The blue clouds are rising from the heights of Li Palace, and the wind of fairy music can be heard everywhere.

Slow singing, graceful dancing, silk and bamboo dance, and the king is not satisfied with it. Yuyang's flying dragon stirs the earth, shocking the colorful clothes and feathers.

Smoke and dust arose from the Jiuchong City Tower, and thousands of horses rode southwestward. The green flowers swayed and stopped, more than a hundred miles west of the capital.

The Sixth Army had no choice but to turn around and die in front of the horse. There is no one to collect the flowers and leaves on the ground, and the green buds and jade are scratching their heads.

The king hid his face and could not be saved. Looking back, blood and tears flowed. The yellow leaves are scattered in the wind, and the clouds linger in the sword pavilion.

There are few people walking at the foot of Mount Emei, and the flags are dull and the sun is thin. The water of the Shu River is green, the mountains of Shu are green, and the Holy Lord is in love with him day and night.

Seeing the moon in the palace looks sad, and hearing the heartbreaking sound of bells in the rain at night. The sky spins and the earth turns back to Long Yu. He hesitates and cannot go.

In the soil at the foot of Mawei slope, there is no place where Yuyan died. The monarch and his ministers looked after each other with all their clothes on, and looked eastward at the capital gate to return on horseback.

After returning, the ponds and gardens are all still the same, with lotuses and willows blooming in Taiye. Hibiscus is like a face and willows are like eyebrows, how can I not shed tears about this.

The peach and plum blossoms bloom in the spring breeze, and the sycamore leaves fall in the autumn rain. There are many autumn grasses in the south of the West Palace, and the fallen leaves are full of red leaves that are not swept away.

The disciples in the Liyuan have new white hair, while the prisoner in the pepper room has old moths. The fireflies in the evening palace are quietly thinking, and the solitary lamp has been used up before they can fall asleep.

At the beginning of the long night, the stars are about to dawn. The mandarin duck tiles are frosty and heavy, and the emerald quilt is cold.

After so many years of separation between life and death, my soul never came to sleep. Linqiong Taoist priests from Hongdu can reach the soul with their sincerity.

To appreciate the king's thoughts, he taught the alchemists to search diligently. Empty and control the energy, it rushes like electricity, ascending to heaven and earth to seek everywhere.

The poor blue sky above and the yellow spring below, both places are nowhere to be seen. Suddenly I heard that there was a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain was ethereal.

The exquisite pavilions are filled with five clouds, and there are many fairies among them. One of them has a character called Tai Zhen, and his skin and appearance are all mixed.

Knock on the jade in the west chamber of the Golden Palace, and turn to the small jade to get a double success. Hearing that the Emperor of Han Dynasty envoys, the dream soul in Jiuhua tent is frightened.

Wandering around while holding clothes and pushing pillows, the silver screen of pearls and foils spreads out. The bun in the clouds is half fresh, and the flower crown is not neat.

The wind blows and the fairy mantle is fluttering, just like the dancing of colorful clothes and feathers. The jade face is lonely and full of tears, and a branch of pear blossom brings rain in spring.

Looking at the king with affection, his voice and appearance are vague. Love is overwhelming in Zhaoyang Palace, and the sun and moon are long in Penglai Palace.

Looking back and looking down at the world, I can see the dust and mist in Chang'an. But I will express my affection for old things, and send my hairpin to the future.

Leave one strand of the hairpin and combine it into a fan; break the gold hairpin into two halves. But the teaching heart is as strong as gold, and we will meet in heaven and on earth.

I sent my farewell message again with great sincerity, in which I vowed to know each other. On July 7th, in the Hall of Eternal Life, no one was whispering in the middle of the night.

I would like to be a winged bird in the sky, and a twig on the ground. As time goes by, this hatred will last forever.

Translation

The emperor of the Han Dynasty valued the beauty of the city and the country, and was determined to find a peerless beauty. It's a pity that after many years in the country, he has been nowhere to be found. There was a newly grown girl in the Yang family. She was raised in a boudoir and no one had ever seen her face. Her natural beauty could not be buried, and she was finally chosen to be with the emperor. She turned around and smiled, all kinds of charm appearing at the same time. The pink, white and dark green of the Sixth Palace immediately lost their color. In the cold spring, she was given a bath in Huaqing Pool. The hot spring water was smooth and washed her skin like condensed oil. The maid helped her out of the bath, but she was too lazy and weak. It was at this moment that she first accepted her grace. The face is like a flower, the hair is like clouds, and the golden steps are shaking on the head. Beautiful spring night, spring night is too short! The sun was so high that the sky opened its eyes. From then on, I never went to the morning to meet with those ministers again. Chasing pleasure and serving banquets, she was always by the emperor's side. Spring comes with spring outings, and the nights are exclusive to her. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, and all their favors were concentrated on her. At night in the palace, she dressed up and went to serve the Holy King. At the banquet in the Jade Tower, Chun got drunk with her. My sister and brothers have all achieved great status. It’s so enviable. The whole family is prosperous. It’s a shame that all parents in the world feel that giving birth to a boy is worse than giving birth to a girl.

Li Palace, a summer retreat, stands high in the sky. Immortal music floats in the palace and can be heard everywhere in the world. There were slow songs and dances in the palace, and the piano was played slowly and the flute was played slowly.

The emperor watched all day long and could never get enough. Who knew that Yuyang's rebellious war drums would beat the ground and shock the colorful feathers? Smoke and dust appeared in the royal city, and Tianyu's cavalry, a thousand chariots and ten thousand horses, fled to the southwest. We just walked a hundred miles, walking and standing. What should we do if the Sixth Army refuses to advance? Wanwan Mo Mei died in front of the emperor's horse. Her mother-of-pearls were left on the ground and no one collected them, as well as the emerald crown on her head, her gold bird, and her jade scratch on her head. The emperor covered his face, thinking that he could not be saved. Looking back, tears and blood flowed together. The plank road winds up to the sword pavilion through the clouds, and the yellow dust blown by the wind is particularly desolate. There are not many pedestrians on the Emei Road, the sky flags have lost their luster, and the sunshine is so thin. The water of the Shu River is so green and the Shu Mountain is so verdant. The Emperor cannot stop thinking about him day and night. When I leave the palace, I see the moonlight with a sad color, and at night I hear the sound of rain and bells ringing with heartbreak.

Finally one day, the dizzying emperor returned to the capital, and ended up here again - making people linger and couldn't bear to leave. The land where the beauty died in vain can no longer be found in the dirt at the bottom of Mawei slope. The monarch and his ministers looked at each other, with tears streaming down their clothes, and looked eastward, trusting the horse to return to the capital. Come back and take a look at the palace gardens. Taiye Pond, Lotus Weiyang Palace and Green Willows are still charming. The hibiscus flowers are so much like her face, and the willow leaves are so much like her eyebrows. How can one not shed tears when seeing flowers and willows? How can you not feel it, on this day when the spring breeze blows the peach and plum blossoms, and on this autumn day when the sycamore leaves fall! The Supreme Emperor lived in the South Palace and the West Palace. The autumn grass grew in the courtyard, and if you didn't sweep it away, the steps were covered with red fallen leaves. At that time, Qingmei, the supervisor of the Jiao Room, was already old, and the disciples in the Liyuan had new gray hair on their heads. At night, fireflies flew over the palace, and the Emperor quietly thought about it. At night, I couldn't sleep because of the broken lantern, and I could only hear the bells and drums in the palace beating slowly. The night is so long, look at the Milky Way still shining in the sky. It's almost dawn, but it's not bright yet! The frost is so heavy, the tiles on the house are so cold, the green quilt is cold, who can support me? You are dead, but I am still alive. Years have passed since we parted, and your soul has never entered my dreams.

There is a Linqiong Taoist priest in the capital who has practiced Buddhism and can attract the souls of the dead with his sincerity. What was touching was the emperor's deep affection for her, which made the alchemists diligently search for her. He controlled the air and moved the clouds like a bolt of lightning, flying up to nine heavens and then down to the underworld, but there was no sign of her. Suddenly I heard that there was a fairy mountain on the sea, which was in the middle of nothingness. The fairy mountain pavilions are as exquisite as colorful clouds, and there are many wonderful fairies. One of them is named Taizhen, with snow-like skin and colorful appearance, and it sounds like he is the person he is looking for. The alchemist arrived at the Immortal Palace and knocked on the door of the west wing. The ones who reported the news were immortals Xiaoyu and Dong Shuangcheng. When she heard that Tianyu of the Han family had sent envoys, she couldn't help but break the dream in the Jiuhua tent of the Xian family. I pushed open the pillow, put on my clothes and got out of bed. The silver screen and bead curtain were opened in sequence. I saw that her bun was half tilted to the side. She had just woken up and walked down the hall before the flower crown was finished. The wind blew her fairy clothes fluttering and swirling, just like the colorful feathers she danced with back then. Yu Rong's lonely pair of tears fell down, just like a pear blossom carrying rain in spring. She expressed her sincere thanks to the king: since the separation between life and death, it was difficult to see him and there was no news at all. The love in Zhaoyang Palace has been severed since then, and the days and moons in Penglai Palace are so long! Looking down at the human world, I can only see clouds and mist and cannot see Chang'an. I can only show my deep affection with old things and bring back two things, the golden hairpin and the box. Keep one share of the gold hairpin, one share of the hairpin box, and our family will share half of it. As long as our hearts are as strong as gold and tin, we can still see each other even though we are far apart in heaven and earth! There is one more important thing to say before leaving. Only he and I know this oath. On July 7th, there was no one in the Hall of Eternal Life in the middle of the night. The two of us whispered quietly: In the sky, we hope to be winged birds forever, and on the ground, we hope that water will be like branches. As time goes by, it will end one day. This hatred will last forever and will never be eliminated.

Commentary

This poem is the author's famous poem, written in the first year of Yuanhe (806). The whole poem vividly describes the love tragedy between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. The poet used historical figures and legends to create a moving and moving story, and through the artistic image he created, he reproduced the reality of real life and infected readers for thousands of years.

The theme of the poem is "everlasting regret". The first part begins with "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty focused on sex and wanted to overwhelm the country", describing how Xuanzong was lustful and lustful before the Anshi Rebellion, and finally got the Yang family. And because Yang was favored, his chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. He also repeatedly exaggerated Xuanzong's indulgence in lust, indulged in wine and sex, and ignored government affairs, which led to the Anshi Rebellion of "Yuyang Mo incited the earth to come". This is the basis of tragedy and the internal cause of "eternal hatred". The second part begins with "What the Six Armies Can Do Without Attacking", which describes in detail Xuanzong's hasty flight to Xishu after the An-Shi Rebellion, which caused the "Six Armies" to station on horseback and demand the removal of the noble concubine who was causing harm to the country and the people. form. This is the key plot of the story. After Yang passed away, Xuanzong felt lonely, sad and full of lovesickness. The poem uses a sour and touching tone to describe Xuanzong's mood of "everlasting regret", which is heartbreaking and makes people cry.

The third part begins with "Linqiong Taoist Hongdu Guest", which tells that Xuanzong found Yang's trace in the illusory Penglai Fairy Mountain with the help of Taoist priests. In the fairy scene, Yang's appearance of "pear blossoms in the rain" is reproduced, and he expresses affectionately, conveys the object, reiterates the previous oath, and expresses his willingness to be a "winged bird" and "linked branches", further exaggerating the "eternal regret" theme. The ending further deepens the theme with "Heaven and earth will eventually end, and this hatred will last forever" and increase the weight of "eternal hatred".

The whole poem is full of sentimentality and pathos, and the book's hatred is endless. The writing is sad and moving, the tone is melodious and melodious. It is a famous piece through the ages, which is often read and always new.

Contemporary writers Ding Yi and Fang Chao believe in the article "Evaluation of (Song of Everlasting Sorrow)" that this poem is a work by Bai Juyi to express his own feelings by chanting historical figures. The article said that when the poet was young, he fell in love with Xiang Ling, a girl from an ordinary family. However, due to the obstacles of family status and customs, he could not officially get married. When they broke up, the poet wrote a sad poem: "I can't cry, but I can't part with you; I can't speak, I miss you secretly; no one knows about the two hearts... There is no end to the mutual willingness." The article pointed out that "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" was composed a few months before the author's marriage. The poet was in pain for losing the possibility of meeting Xiang Ling. For this reason, Ding and Fang believe that "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is not a record and evaluation of history. "I would like to be a winged bird in the sky, and a twig on the ground. Sometimes the eternity of heaven and earth will end, and this hatred will last forever." It is the poet who expressed his pain and deep feelings through the tragedy of the previous emperor's concubine.

From the perspective of "poetry expresses ambition" and "poetry conveys emotion", Ding and Fang's opinions are not unreasonable. But in terms of the historical truth and social significance reflected in the work and its influence over thousands of years, we cannot but say that it is a record of history and an evaluation of historical events. As for Bai's own experience of love tragedy, it undoubtedly contributed to his understanding and analysis of Li Yang's love tragedy, which made his poems delicate in texture, sincere in emotion, and endowed with infinite artistic charm.

Appreciation 1

This poem was written in the first year of Yuanhe (AD 806) of Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty, when the author was 35 years old and served as the county captain of Zhouzhi. Regarding the origin of writing this poem, according to Bai Juyi's friend Chen Hong, he, Bai Juyi, and Wang Zhifu visited Xianyou Temple in October of the first year of Yuanhe. By chance, we talked about the tragic story between Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang Guifei, and everyone sighed. So Wang Zhifu asked Bai Juyi to write a long poem and Chen Hong to write a biography. The two complemented each other and were passed down to future generations. Because the last two sentences of the long poem are "Eternity will last forever, and this hatred will last forever." So they called this poem "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and the biography "Biography of Everlasting Sorrow".

"Song of Everlasting Regret" is divided into three major sections, from "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty paid great attention to color and thought of overwhelming the country" to "Shocking the "Song of Colorful Clothes and Feathers"", the thirty-two lines are the first section. It writes about the love life and consequences of love between Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang Guifei, as well as the resulting political chaos and the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion. The first eight sentences describe Yang Guifei's beauty and being sought after by Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty. He is clearly the emperor of Tang Dynasty, but the poem says "Emperor Han". This is a habit left by the people of the Tang Dynasty who wrote ancient inscriptions on Yuefu. Qingguo: refers to the beauties who charm the country and the city. Yu Yu: Refers to being the emperor and ruling the world. Eighteen lines from "Bath in the Huaqing Pool in the cold spring" to "Non-reborn men are reborn as women" describe Yang Guifei's favor and the resulting splendor of the Yang family. Huaqing Pool: Located on Lishan Mountain in the south of Tong County, east of present-day Xi'an City, there is the emperor's palace on it, and it is famous for its hot springs. Condensed fat: a metaphor for a person's skin being white and smooth. Bu Yao: a headdress worn by ancient women. "The spring night is short and the sun is rising, and the king will not go to court early from now on", which describes the Tang Ming Emperor's infatuation with his appearance and his neglect of political affairs. "Cheng Huan has no time to wait for banquets, and she spends all her nights on spring outings. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and three thousand people pamper her." Writing about the extent to which Concubine Yang was pampered, she was inseparable. Then the author uses the allusion that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty doted on Chen Gillian and wanted to build a golden house for Gillian to compare their relationship. "Sisters and brothers are all from the earth, but they are pitiful and glorious. This makes the hearts of parents in the world not to be reborn as a boy and to be reborn as a girl." One person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, Yang Guifei alone is favored, and the Yang clan immediately becomes powerful. His elder brother Yang Guozhong became the prime minister, and his sisters were all named ladies of the great country. They fought for power and wealth and became arrogant. Du Fu's "Beauty's Journey" is about this incident. The emperor's concubines are also human beings and have passions, which are no different from ordinary people; but the emperor has supreme authority in his hands, and his passions are often inseparable from the use of this supreme authority. This makes their love effect very different from that of civilians. Lust is not a great sin, but lust leads to excessive rewards, allows bad people to steal power, and disrupts the government, which is not far from the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family. Therefore, when we comment on the love of emperors, we must not leave out the specific content of their lives and their social effects. "Qingyun rises from the heights of Li Palace, and fairy music can be heard everywhere. Slow singing and slow dancing, converging silk and bamboo, the emperor can't see enough." These four sentences echo the previous "From now on, the emperor will not come to court early", further describing the infatuated voice and look of Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty. , The barren government harmed the country. The luxurious and extravagant life of the rulers of the Tang Dynasty was based on ruthlessly plundering the working people and plunging them into extreme poverty. In "Five Hundred Words of Odyssey to Fengxian from Beijing", Du Fu described a period of the hedonistic life of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang on Lishan Mountain, and then went on to say: "The silk that Tong Ting divided was originally from Hannu. He whipped her husband's family, "Juli Gongcheng Que." He also said: "The wine and meat in the Zhumen are stinky, and the bones are frozen to death. The prosperity and decline are so close that it is difficult to describe the melancholy." It is precisely because the ruling group is so ignorant and decadent, and the class contradictions are so sharp, that we should be An Lushan. Once this ambitious man launched a rebellion, the dazzling pyramid of the Tang Dynasty immediately collapsed. "Yuyang Ji came with the instigation of the earth and shocked the "Neon Shang Yuyi Song"", which vividly illustrates this process. Yuyang: The name of the county. The county government is in Jinji County today. This area is sometimes called Yuyang County, sometimes also called Fanyang County. At that time, An Lushan served as the Jiedushi of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong towns, and his base camp was in Yuyang. Drum: A musical instrument used in the military. Yuyang Jigu refers to the rebel army led by An Lushan. An Lushan launched the rebellion in November of the fourteenth year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 755). Colorful Feather Clothes Song: The name of the dance music comes from Xiliang in Kaiyuan Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty personally processed and polished it and wrote lyrics for it.

After Yang Guifei entered the palace, she was good at dancing for this purpose.

From "The smoke and dust of the Jiuchong City Tower" to "The soul never comes to dream" *** The forty-two sentences are the second paragraph, describing the Ma Yi mutiny, the murder of Concubine Yang, and the relationship between Emperor Tang Ming and Concubine Yang from then on. I miss you day and night, and my affection is unwavering. The first ten sentences of it talk about the Maweiyi mutiny. Jiuzhongchengque: refers to the capital. The emperor's palace has nine gates, so it is called Jiuzhong. Smoke: refers to enemy police. Thousands of thousands of horses traveling southwest: refers to the fact that Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty left Chang'an and fled to Sichuan in June of the fifteenth year of Tianbao (AD 756). Cuihua: refers to the emperor's guard of honor. More than a hundred miles west of the capital, the area is Mawei Station, in Xingpingxi, Shaanxi today. Sixth Army: The army called the Emperor in ancient times, here refers to the guards of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty. Not to send: no longer to move forward, here refers to mutiny. At that time, the rebels first killed Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei's two sisters, and then forced Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty to kill Yang Guifei. Flowers, emerald green leaves, golden bird hairpins, and jade head scratchers: they are all the ornaments on Concubine Yang's head. The following eight sentences of "Yellow Ai Scattering and Wind Desolate" describe Tang Minghuang's longing for Concubine Yang on the way to Chengdu and during his days in Chengdu. Cloud: Aerial passage in the mountains. Jiange: Jianmen Pass, a dangerous pass between Shaanxi and Sichuan in ancient times, is located in the northeast of Jiange County, Sichuan today. Mount Emei: In the southwest of Emei County in present-day Sichuan, not on the road from Shaanxi to Sichuan, this place was built by the poet to emphasize the difficulty of the mountain road between Sichuan and Shaanxi. Li Bai's "The Road to Shu is Difficult" said, "There is a bird's way in Taibai in the west, which can cross the top of Emei." This is the same mistake. The following four lines of "The sky spins and the earth turns back to Long Yu" describe how Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty returned to Beijing from Chengdu and passed Mawei Station again after seeing the present and thinking about the past, and feeling sad about the scene. The world is spinning: refers to the change of situation, the Tang army regained the two capitals. It happened in September and October of the second year of Emperor Suzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty (757 AD). Dragon: refers to the carriage of Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty. There was no place where Yu Yan died, only an empty grave, and the body was missing. From then on, the story became more mythical. There was a legend at that time that Yang Guifei had "dismembered her body" and became an immortal. "The emperor and his ministers looked at each other with tears on their clothes." The following twenty sentences describe how Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty missed things and people after returning to the capital, and was so sad that he couldn't bear to live. Believe in the horse's return: Let the horse walk on its own, which is a sign of a person's heart being clueless. Taiye: the name of the pool in the Daming Palace. Weiyang: The name of the palace where the emperors of the Han Dynasty lived. This refers to the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty. West Palace: Taiji Palace, which the Tang people called "West Palace" or "Xinei". South Nei: Xingqing Palace. People of the Tang Dynasty called Daming Palace, Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace the three major palaces. Daming Palace was where the then emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty lived. After Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty, who had abdicated, returned to Beijing, he was successively placed in Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace. Liyuan Disciples: refers to the palace singing and dancing troupe that once served Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Ming of Tang personally taught them how to rehearse. Jiao Fang: The palace room where the concubine lived. The walls were painted with pepper and mud, first for its fragrance and second for its fertility. Ajian: eunuch. Qing'e: refers to the palace maid. The above two sentences are respectively inherited from Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei, which means that the people who served them in the past are now old. Yuanyang tiles: Roof tiles that interlock with each other on the roof. Jade Quilt: A quilt decorated with jade feathers. The above layers of explanation show that Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty misses her all the time, and everything and everything reminds him of his nostalgia for Concubine Yang.

Appreciation 2

As a generation of literati, Bai Juyi can be said to be a successful person. His realistic pen has written many desolate scenes, sounding the alarm again and again. His "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" can be said to be the masterpiece of his life.

The poem begins with comedy and turns into tragedy. Although the author's intention is to "punish the beauty", it becomes an ode to love. The most successful part of this narrative poem is its lyricism. The rather complex plot is explained in just a few concise sentences, and it focuses on rendering the emotion, meticulously describing the intensity of love between Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang, and the longing of both parties after the death of the concubine. .

"Song of Everlasting Regret" is the song "Eternal Regret". "Eternal Regret" is the theme of the poem, the focus of the story, and also a seed buried in the poem that affects people's hearts. As for what to "hate" and why to "eternally hate", the poet does not directly narrate and express it, but shows it to the readers layer by layer through the poetic stories in his writing, allowing people to figure out, savor, and understand for themselves. Feel. The first thing that gives us the enjoyment of artistic beauty in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is the touching and moving story in the poem, as well as the exquisite and unique artistic conception of the poem. The center of the whole article is the song "Eternal Regret", but the poet starts from the "heavy color" and tries his best to elaborate and exaggerate it. "The sun rises high", "does not go to bed early", "nights are full of nights", "not seen enough", etc., seem to be extremely happy, like a comedy scene. However, the extreme happiness reflects the endless hatred behind it. . Tang Xuanzong's debauchery harmed the country, which led to political tragedy, which in turn led to the love tragedy between him and Yang Guifei. The creator of the tragedy finally becomes the protagonist of the tragedy. This is a special and twisty part of the story, and it is also the reason why the hero and heroine in the poem have "eternal hatred". Many people say that "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" has an allegorical meaning. I think the allegorical meaning of this poem lies here. So, how does the poet express "eternal hatred"? The poet's depiction of the death of Concubine Yang Guifei in Maweipo was extremely delicate, and he vividly expressed Tang Xuanzong's inner conflicts and painful feelings that he couldn't bear to part with but couldn't save. Because of this "bloody and tearful" farewell, there is that endless hatred.

Subsequently, the poet used many pens and inks to repeatedly exaggerate Tang Xuanzong's longing for Yang Guifei from various aspects. However, the storyline of the poem did not stop at one emotional point, but instead unfolded the character's inner world layer by layer, sensing his scenery. Constantly changing, moving time and the story forward, using the characters' thoughts and feelings to develop and promote the development of the plot. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went to Shu after a farewell, and felt very sad and miserable in his heart. On the way back to Shu, he revisited old places, which brought back sad memories. After returning to the palace, he felt sad after seeing things during the day, and couldn't sleep at night. I thought about it day and night but couldn't get it, so I put my hope in dreams, but "it's been years since birth and death, and my soul has never come to dream." At this point in the poem, the "hate" of "everlasting regret" has been written very touchingly, and it seems that the story can end here. However, the poet changed his writing style, opened up a different realm, and with the help of the colorful wings of imagination, he conceived a charming and moving fairyland, pushing the plot of the tragic story to a climax, making the story more twists and turns, with ups and downs and waves. This turn of events is both unexpected and reasonable. Due to the constant conflicts and collisions between subjective desires and objective reality, the poem vividly expresses the characters' ever-changing psychology, making the story more vivid and moving.

"Song of Everlasting Regret" is a narrative poem with a strong lyrical component. The poet uses the lyrical techniques that Chinese traditional poetry is good at in narrating stories and shaping characters, harmoniously combining narrative, scene description and lyricism. , forming the lyrical looping characteristics of poetry. The poet sometimes injects the characters' thoughts and feelings into the scenery, and uses the refraction of the scenery to highlight the characters' mood; sometimes he captures the characteristic scenery and things around the characters, and expresses the inner feelings through the characters' feelings about them, rendering them layer by layer, just right. It expresses the difficult-to-reach feelings deep in the heart of the characters. From the loose yellow leaves to the green mountains of Shu, from the rainy night in the palace to the triumphant return, from day to night, from spring to autumn, I touch things and feel sad everywhere, and think about people when I see things, repeatedly exaggerating the suffering of the protagonist in the poem from all aspects Pursuit and search. If you can't find it in real life, go to the dream to find it. If you can't find it in the dream, go to the fairyland to find it. Such ups and downs and layers of rendering make the characters' emotions spiral and rise to a climax. It is through such layers of rendering that the poet repeatedly expresses emotions and goes back and forth to make the characters' thoughts and feelings more profound and rich, making the poem "delicate in texture" and more artistically appealing. As an eternal narrative poem, " The artistic achievement of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is very high. Throughout the ages, many people have affirmed the special artistic charm of this poem. How does "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" artistically infect and seduce readers? It is perhaps its greatest artistic feature, its melodiousness and pathos, and it is also its power to attract readers for thousands of years, making them infected and seduced.

The article "Eternal Regret" is charming!

Bai Letian said. It can be seen that the poet's heart really poured too much emotion into "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".

Bai Letian was sentimental and saddened by the times in his life, and many of his poems were handed down to express the sufferings of the people and the disadvantages of harsh governance, such as "Yin in Qin", which said "One chant is a sad thing". He was such a person who advocated "the combination of articles" A realist poet who "writes from time to time, and writes poems based on events", he wrote about a love affair in the palace in a sad, gentle and soul-stirring way. From this, I thought of Bai Juyi's own emotional life. It turned out that when he was young, he had known a female Xiang Ling. Xiang said that he suffered from family resistance and could not be reunited. This deep pain was reflected in the creation of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", and it was precisely through chanting history that he felt his own fate. Although Bai Juyi had a bumpy career and was depressed, he even used Buddhism and Taoism to numb himself and find spiritual relief, and hated the corruption of the government at that time. But I feel that in this poem, it is more of a praise of love, or of love. An allusion to his past emotions.

On the other hand, since ancient times, emperors did not love the country but the beauty, and the sensuality of dogs and horses seemed to be their patent. So the figure of a declining dynasty walked slowly towards an end point, following the footsteps of a woman who had been wronged. "Beauty brings disaster" is an excellent reason for the emperor to give future generations an excuse when he laments that his country has gone far away. Women are just victims of tragedy. They just use their makeup to win a little favor and a man's embrace for their own status and interests. But in the end they are sentenced to death. This also warns them that before they get what they want, While you want something, don’t forget the consequences of excessive mining.

The final romantic pen gives us a little comfort, and also allows me to always believe in the true love at the end of time. beauty.

Appreciation 3

"Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is a well-known poem among Bai Juyi's poems. It was written in the first year of Yuanhe (806) when the poet was working as a poet in Yuxi County (now Zhouzhi, Shaanxi). County captain. This poem was composed when he and his friends Chen Hong and Wang Zhifu visited Xianyou Temple and were inspired by the stories of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. In this long narrative poem, the author uses concise language, beautiful images, and a combination of narrative and lyrical techniques to describe the love tragedy of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei during the Anshi Rebellion: Their love was ruined by the rebellion they caused. We are endlessly eating the bitter pill of this spirit. Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang were both historical figures. The poet did not stick to history, but relied on a little shadow of history, based on the legends of the people at that time and the songs of the neighbors, to create a twists and turns and moving story. Describe and sing it in a round and round, sentimental art form.

Because the stories and characters in the poem are all artistic and are complex and true representations of real people, they can create ripples in the hearts of readers of all ages.

"Song of Everlasting Regret" is the song "Eternal Regret". "Eternal Regret" is the theme of the poem, the focus of the story, and a seed buried in the poem that affects people's hearts. As for what to "hate" and why to "eternally hate", the poet does not directly narrate and describe it, but shows it to the readers layer by layer through the poetic stories in his writing, allowing people to figure it out, reflect on it, and understand it for themselves. Feel.

The first sentence of the poem: "The Emperor of Han valued beauty and thought of his country." It seems very ordinary, as if the story should have started from here, and the author did not need to put any thought into it. In fact, this The seven words are of great content and are the outline of the whole poem. They not only reveal the tragic elements of the story, but also evoke and guide the whole poem. Immediately afterwards, the poet used extremely frugal language to describe how Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty focused on and pursued beauty before the Anshi Rebellion, and finally got Yang Guifei, who "looked back and smiled with all her beauty, and the pink and white in the sixth palace have no color". It describes Yang Guifei's beauty and charm. After entering the palace, she was favored because of her beauty. Not only did she "newly inherit the favor", but her "sisters and brothers were all from the earth". It repeatedly exaggerates how Tang Xuanzong indulged in sexual pleasure, had fun, and indulged in singing, dancing, drinking, and sex in the palace after he got the imperial concubine. All of these led to the Anshi Rebellion: "The Yuyang Chao incited the earth to come, shocking the colorful clothes and feathers." This part writes the internal cause of "eternal hatred" and is the basis of the tragic story. Through this realistic period of palace life, the poet ironically introduces us to the hero and heroine of the story: an emperor who values ??sex over country, and a charming and doting concubine. It also vividly hints to us that Tang Xuanzong's lustful behavior was the root of this tragedy.

Below, the poet describes in detail the scene of the emperor's soldiers fleeing into the southwest in a hurry after the Anshi Rebellion, especially the destruction of the love between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei during this turmoil. "The six armies had no choice but to do nothing. They died in front of the horses with their eyebrows turned. The flowers and flowers left the land without anyone to take it, and the green and green gilts and jade scratched their heads. The king hid his face and could not save him. Looking back, the blood and tears flowed harmoniously." This is what they wrote in Mawei Poe's farewell scene. "The six armies did not send out" and demanded the death of Concubine Yang because he was angry that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was infatuated with women and was causing harm to the country and the people. The death of Concubine Yang is a key plot in the whole story. After that, their love became a tragedy. Then, from "the yellow leaves are scattered in the wind and the wind is blowing" to "the soul never comes to dream", the poet It captures the heart-wrenching "hate" in the character's spiritual world, and uses a sour and moving tone to describe and describe Tang Xuanzong's loneliness and sadness in Shu after the death of Yang Guifei. He also reminisces about the past on the road and sees things after returning to the palace. Thinking about people, touching scenes and feeling emotions, all kinds of feelings about things and people all year round. The lingering longing for lovesickness makes people feel heartbroken. Precisely because the poet exaggerated the emotions of the characters to such an extent, the arrival of the Taoist priests and the appearance of the fairyland later gave people a sense of reality, and they no longer thought it was just a castle in the air.

From "Linqiong Taoist Hongdu Guest" to the end of the poem, it is written that the Taoist helped Tang Xuanzong find Yang Guifei. The poet adopts a romantic approach, suddenly going up to the sky and suddenly down to the earth, "the blue sky above is poor and the yellow spring is below, and neither place can be seen". Later, Yang Guifei was found on the ethereal fairy mountain on the sea, and she reappeared in the fairyland in the image of "a jade face lonely with tears, a pear blossom with spring rain", and she enthusiastically welcomed the Han family's envoys. The poem reiterates the previous oath, reflects Tang Xuanzong's longing for her, and further deepens and exaggerates the theme of "everlasting regret". At the end of the poem, it ends with "It lasts forever, and sometimes it ends, this hatred lasts forever", which points out the theme, responds to the beginning, and achieves "more than enough clear sound", giving readers room for association and aftertaste.

The first thing that gives us the enjoyment of artistic beauty in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is the touching and moving story in the poem, as well as the exquisite and unique artistic conception of the poem. The center of the whole article is the song "Eternal Regret", but the poet starts from the "heavy color" and tries his best to elaborate and exaggerate it. "The sun rises high", "does not go to bed early", "nights are full of nights", "not seen enough", etc., seem to be extremely happy, like a comedy scene. However, the extreme happiness reflects the endless hatred behind it. . Tang Xuanzong's debauchery harmed the country, which led to political tragedy, which in turn led to the love tragedy between him and Yang Guifei. The creator of the tragedy finally becomes the protagonist of the tragedy. This is a special and twisty part of the story, and it is also the reason why the hero and heroine in the poem have "eternal hatred". Many people have said in the past that "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" has an allegorical meaning, and this is where the allegorical meaning of this poem lies.

So, how does the poet express "eternal hatred"? The poet's depiction of the death of Concubine Yang Guifei in Maweipo was extremely delicate, and he vividly expressed Tang Xuanzong's inner conflicts and painful feelings that he couldn't bear to part with but wanted to save.
