Appreciation and Translation of Li Qingzhao's "From Qixi to the Stars"

Xiangzi Tanabata Original: Grass flies. Stunned by the phoenix tree. There is a deep sorrow on earth and in the sky. Yuntai moon and earth, locked a thousand times. You come and I go, don't meet. I haven't seen you for years, but I want to leave my feelings and don't hate being poor. Penny Weaver, this is just separation. Sometimes it's sunny, sometimes it rains, sometimes it's windy.

Cricket is singing plaintively in the grass, and the leaves on the top of the phoenix tree seem to be shaken by this singing. The scene in front of us reminds us of that sad season in the world. In the starry sky on the moon bank in the cloud world, the cowherd and the weaver girl are blocked by thousands of locks and have no chance to meet each other. Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet only once a year, and the rest of the time is like floating in the vast galaxy, swimming around, but finally they can't meet. Perhaps the Magpie Bridge has not been built, and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl have not been able to meet in parting. I guess at this time, the black magpie has built the star bridge, but the cowherd and the weaver girl have not come together, and then the weather is unpredictable and the wind and rain suddenly rise. Is the meeting between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl blocked again?

Note 1 Joan: cricket. 2 Yuntai: refers to the Heavenly Palace. From Du Mu's Tanabata: "The night is as cool as water, lying and watching the morning glory and weaving stars." 3 "Hanging Tea" three sentences: Zhang Hua's "Natural History" records that Tianhe can communicate with the sea, and there is floating tea in August every year, and there is no round trip. Someone decided to go to the Heavenly Palace and brought a lot of food. After sailing for more than ten days, I actually arrived at Tianhe. The man saw the cowherd drinking cows by the river, but the weaver girl was in a distant paradise. Fu Cha: It refers to the raft between the sea and Tianhe. These three sentences are an implicit inclusion of Zhang Hua's above-mentioned records and a metaphor for the forced separation of the poet and her husband. 4 Star Bridge Magpie Driving: According to legend, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet in Tianhe, and the magpie drives it, so it is called Magpie Bridge. The Chinese New Year Memories of Korea and Hubei cited the Custom Pass three times: "The weaver girl will cross the river on Tanabata, and the bridge will be held." Petunia Weaver Girl: the names of two stars. "Selected Works of Cao Pi" and "Ge Yanxing": "Let the cow and the Weaver Girl face each other far away. Shan Li's Note: "Historical Records" says that "Petunia is a sacrifice, and its northern weaver girl, weaver girl and heavenly daughter Sun also." Cao Zhi's "Nine Odes" notes: "The cow is the husband and the weaver girl is the woman. Vega and Altair are everywhere, and they will get together on July 7. " Sha: "What" is the dominant word, which means "positive" here. Instant: a period of time.

Hang Xiangzi's Tanabata appreciates this two-tone poem, and vividly expresses the poet's sadness and hate parting through the description of the tragic story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

"The grass is singing, and the phoenix tree is surprised." The lyrics begin with Chinese Valentine's Day, writing about the silence of the surrounding environment and expressing the protagonist's lonely and painful mood. The poet skillfully used the technique of writing quietly and exaggerating with his pen, saying that the old leaves of the phoenix tree floating on the ground were. Woo-woo's "shock" describes the quiet environmental characteristics, sets off the poet's inner loneliness and sadness, and leads to "the world" The association of "deep sorrow in the sky" closely weaves one's state of mind with the parting sorrow of the cowherd and the weaver girl, and becomes the link between excuses and rhetoric. Let's write the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl: "Yuntai Moon and Earth Pass. Describing the pain that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are far away from Yuntai and the vast Milky Way, and can't meet each other, is to express their separation from their husbands in different places. Describe the meeting of the cowherd and the weaver girl on the magpie bridge, and the fleeting suffering is pouring out their hatred that they are separated from their husbands by thousands of miles and cannot get together. As the saying goes: "Come and go, but never meet. The whole film is written from the world to the sky, and the narrative is full of emotion, and every sentence is closely related to the poet's emotional pulse. Finally, in the next film, the poet's feelings have completely turned him into me, and her husband and wife situation has been integrated with the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. So starting from the reality of her own situation, she developed a strange association: "It took me so many years to see him. If you want to keep your feelings, don't hate them. " The wind and rain in the sky are unpredictable, and the magpie bridge may not be built yet. Maybe the cowherd and the weaver girl still can't get together in the parting? This kind of speculation and association is the result of empathy, which implicitly and euphemistically expresses the secret that couples can't meet each other on Tanabata.

The last sentence of Tanabata natural scenery in the sky echoes the first Tanabata scene of mankind: on the one hand, there are stormy banks of the Milky Way, and on the other hand, there are boudoir courtyards where crickets croak and phoenix trees fall leaves, creating a cold and desolate atmosphere, effectively setting off the poet's lonely and sad mood. The last sentence is "sunny, rainy and windy." Successfully refined spoken language, and described the rapid changes of cosmic celestial bodies in the form of sentence arrangement, which played an important role in creating artistic conception and added the musical beauty of words.

Generally speaking, the artistic conception of this word is very clever. The beginning is the silent Tanabata on earth, and the end is the changeable Tanabata in the sky. The whole article describes the sadness of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and sets out the poet's own continuous hatred. Describing the Chinese Valentine's Day on earth, I put my true feelings into it, and with my own painful personal feelings, I deeply experienced the situation that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were blamed by the Emperor of Heaven and blocked by the Tianhe River. The word soars up the wings of imagination and soars between heaven and earth. At first, I thought I was from the silence of the night and the fallen leaves of the phoenix tree, in the loneliness away from hate; Then, from my loneliness, I think of the difficult situation where the cowherd and the weaver girl in the sky are about to meet. She lamented for the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid that they were suffering from a strong separation and could not meet each other even if they came and went. She is worried about Cowherd and Weaver Girl. She is worried that they will meet again in the next year, so don't hate being poor. Finally, I looked into space and pinned my feelings on the ever-changing sky. I hope that the Emperor of Heaven will no longer get in the way, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will have no twists and turns, and the annual meeting will be successfully realized. In this way, truth, goodness and beauty are unified. This word is a rare artistic masterpiece in Qixi poetry.

Appreciation of Xiangzi's Tanabata II: "The fragrant grass is singing, the phoenix tree is startled, and the sadness of heaven and earth is thick", which begins with the words, and the poets seize the two outstanding characteristics of natural phenomena in autumn and put pen to paper. Crickets whine in the grass, and the buttonwood leaves at the top of the tree seem to be startled by this chirping and sway down. At this moment, this scene, in the poet's view, is the strongest and heaviest time to leave sorrow and resentment in the world. When the poet started writing, he was covered with a layer of cool color, and his imagination was quite broad, from the scenery in front of him to the sad season on earth. In addition, writing the word "quiet" shows that the poet himself is "quiet" by leaving sorrow. The title of the poem is Tanabata, from which we can see that the "sadness" in "the world" also includes ourselves, thus implicitly pointing out that they are also suffering from emotional parting. In the second sentence, the poet's brushwork is more open, saying that in the starry sky of Yuntai, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were blocked by thousands of locks and missed each other. "Yuntai Moon Land" takes the cloud as the order and the moon as the land, which is called the sky. Tang Du Mu's Tanabata poem: "Don't hate more when the clouds pass the moon." The last three sentences, "If you float vertically, if you float far, you won't meet" and "If you float", are all legendary rafts that shuttle between the sea and the Tianhe River. Zhang Hua's "Natural History" Volume III: "As the old saying goes, Tianhe and Haitong, people who lived in Haizhu recently, have floats every August, and they come and go when they meet. Here, the poet continues to use his imagination to describe that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet only once a year, and the rest of the time is like floating in the vast galaxy, swimming around and never meeting again. The first film is about from the world to the sky. It is about my own sad experience of parting and my deep sympathy for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in The Sadness of Parting.

"Star Bridge Magpie is driving, only after years, I want to be merciful and don't hate poverty." The first three sentences of this poem are closely related to the last word, and the poet continues to imagine. In the first part, I lamented the sadness of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but here I am worried that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can't hate each other. The word "Xiang" expresses the poet's sympathy for the suffering of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and also shows a feeling of helping each other in the same boat. "Holding a cow and weaving a girl is to leave China", these two sentences return to reality from imagination. The poet looked up at the starry sky and guessed that the black magpie had built the star bridge at this time, but the cowherd and the weaver girl were still not together, and their concern was beyond words. "It's sunny, rainy and windy", and then the weather is unpredictable, windy and rainy. Is the meeting between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl blocked again? Emphasizing the word "what" highlights the poet's anxiety and concern.

The most impressive thing about this word is the way the poet wrote it with two strokes. This word was written to express the feelings of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but not to express their feelings. How can you write such a touching work without your own profound emotional experience? The combination of fantasy and reality in the whole ci plays an important role in setting off the artistic conception and atmosphere of the pioneer ci, and also shows the poet's rich imagination and broad mind. In addition, the use of reduplicated sentences and the colloquial features of this word also increase its appeal.

Xiangzi Qixi was written in Chiyang in the third year of Jianyan (1 129). In March of that year, Zhao Mingcheng went to Jiangning to keep it; In May, he went to Chiyang and served as the satrap of Huzhou. Zhao Mingcheng went to Jiankang alone. The couple who lived alone in the chaos were forced to part again. At this time, Li Qingzhao temporarily lived in Chiyang, without friends, and the situation was bleak. In a blink of an eye, on July 7, she thought that the cowherd and the weaver girl in the sky could still get together tonight, but the loving couples in the world were still separated at the moment. Strong feelings of parting and anxiety about the current situation, the two blend together, forming a variety of pen tips, casting the tone of this sad and moving poem.

Appreciation of tanabata: the specific creation date of this word is unknown, which is about the period when the poet divorced her husband after marriage. Mainly based on the myths and legends of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, it is both sad and touching to write about the parting between people.

Tanabata is one of the traditional festivals in China. On the evening of July 7th every year, people will look at Vega and Altair in the sky and think of their beautiful legends. On such a day, poets who have suffered from separation feel more deeply. "The grass is singing and the phoenix tree is frightened." This is a sad scene: the night is so quiet, the crickets in the grass are so clear that you can even hear the sound of buttonwood leaves falling to the ground. From the perspective of hearing, these two sentences not only enhance the sentimental sentiment of the next sentence, but also cast a bleak atmosphere on the whole word. "There is deep sorrow in paradise on earth" is the author's sigh when he looks up at Penny and Weaver Girl. Morning glory and weaver girl are hidden in the sky. Although Tanabata is the time for cows and girls to meet, the time for meeting is the day of parting. Speaking of the pain of leaving this year, it is even more painful to think that it will be another year after tonight. "People" includes the author and all separated men and women. I think Niunv can still meet tonight, but I don't have the chance. My inner sadness can be seen. The word "sorrow" is bitter.

"Cloud order purpose, lock thousand heavy. You come and I go, don't meet. Looking at the Milky Way, looking at the clouds and the moon, I entered the imaginary world in illusion. " "Cha" is a kind of raft made of bamboo and wood, which can cross the water. It is said that after sailing from the sea for more than ten days, you can see a castle-like house in the sky, which is very magnificent. You can see weaving in the Weaver Maid Palace and drinking cows on the banks of the Tianhe River. The Heavenly Palace is locked with the moon as the ground and the cloud as the order. Even if she goes to heaven with a fork and comes back with a fork like the old people, she can't meet Weaver and Penny. Although these words are literally written in the sky, their intention is human nature. "Closed for thousands of times", between the lines is so deep that men and women can't meet and meet again, which places the poet's personal hatred.

The next movie is still the imaginary world that emerges when the author looks up at the galactic binary star. Legend has it that on the night of July 7th in the summer calendar, the magpies met the Milky Way as a bridge between cows and girls, which was called "Magpie Bridge" or "Star Bridge". After a year apart, we had to meet overnight. Don't hate us leaving each other. Nature is endless every year. "Thinking", that is, "thinking" and "thinking", contains regret, consideration and comfort for Niu Nv, and also plays a connecting role. Just as people lament the separation of cows and girls all the year round, they just want to leave when they meet. The word "Mo" in "Mo Li Hua" is a doubtful word, which means roughly, probably. The last three words always start with a word "what", which is the same as the last three sentences in the last film, so this word is fixed. "What" is an adverb of time, which gives a positive explanation to "Gang" and "Affirmation". "Moment" is spoken language, which means a short time and means a moment. Sometimes it's sunny, sometimes it's rainy and sometimes it's windy. The Weaver Girl and the Year of the Dragon have been separated, right? The repeated use of the three "moments" drove Xiao bored and unbearable, and wrote endless grievances. Penny and Weaver are the embodiment of men and women who leave the world, and the regret for their unfortunate experience is the regret for the feelings of leaving the world. These words are pun-intended, novel in conception, and vividly describe the joys and sorrows of the world with the ups and downs of the weather.

This word is written from the human world, first talking about what people see and feel, and then following the celestial world. The whole story is based on the legend of Niu Nv, with a beautiful realm and a winding path, which tells the sadness and resentment of young men and women.
