Without Cai Feng's wings, it is impossible to be Qi Fei in fly with me; The heart is like a soul, and the feelings are the same. Whole poem translation

"Although my body doesn't have bright phoenix wings, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn" comes from Li Shangyin's untitled stars last night and the wind last night in the Tang Dynasty.

Meaning: The body does not have Cai Feng's two flying wings, but there is a connection inside. It expresses the meaning that two people are soul mates.

The whole poem is as follows:

Untitled last night's stars and wind

Li Shangyin in Tang Dynasty

The stars were bright last night, but there was a cool breeze at midnight. Our banquet is on the side of Hualou Temple and the east of the county.

Without Cai Feng's wings, it is impossible to be Qi Fei in fly with me; The heart is like a soul, and the feelings are the same.

Guessing and intrigue, wine warms the heart; This group of people came to the bet of drinking friends, and a win-lose red in candlelight.

Alas, it's time to call the roll in the morning when you hear the drums of the fifth watch; Riding to Lantai is like the wind in the wind.

The whole poem is interpreted as follows:

Last night, the stars were shining, but there was a cool breeze blowing in the middle of the night;

Our banquet is located on the west side of the painting building and on the east side of Guitang.

Without Cai Feng's wings, you can't compare with Qi Fei;

The heart is like a soul, and the feelings are closely linked.

Guess and play with each other, and drink spring wine every other seat to warm your heart;

Let's make a toast in groups. The candles are red.

Alas, when you listen to the five drums, you should go to court;

Riding to Lantai is like Artemisia capillaris floating in the wind.

Sentence annotation

Cailou and Guitang: both metaphors of rich people's houses.

Linxi: It is said that the rhinoceros is magical. It has a white line on its horn, which goes straight to both ends.

Send hook: also known as hidden hook. A game in ancient December was divided into two Cao to compare the outcome. After sending the hook to the other party, it is hidden in one person's hand, which makes people guess.

Sub-Cao: Group.

Shooting: There is something under the cover that makes people guess. Dividing Cao and shooting Fu may not really mean it, but it is a metaphor for the excitement at the banquet.

Drum: refers to more drums.

Officer: I still go to work.

Lantai: that is, the secretary province, the book cheater. Li Shangyin used to be a secretary. Literally, this sentence means riding to Lantai immediately after attending the banquet, which is similar to the flying of grass, but it also implies self-injury and falling.

Make an appreciative comment

Start with two sentences and state the time and place. Last night was even more memorable, and at the same time it gave people aesthetic enjoyment in reading. The first sentence uses "last night" to recall the past. Explain the time of the banquet first, and then explain the location of the banquet. Compare three or four sentences with other things. "No Cai Feng" is about love last night. At the banquet, I hate flying to the person I love without Cai Feng's wings. "Heart to heart" means that the middle of rhinoceros horn is white and the two ends are connected, so it is said that it is connected at one point. Two hearts are soul mates. Although they have no wings to fly, they can't stop the silent communication of each other's feelings. "Collecting wind" and "lin xi" have become love metaphors with graceful images, bright colors and rich musicality. Five or six sentences changed from the tacit understanding between the two to the description of the whole banquet. The story "Wandering and Hidden Hook" is described in the next room, and the speculation about its mystery is arranged, and the lively and cheerful atmosphere at the banquet is written, which paints more colorful colors for the joy of falling in love and produces a feeling of happiness with lovers. Looking deeper, why did the poet write the two conceptual images of stars and wind alone in the first sentence? In ancient times, the star not only refers to the star, but also means "going upstairs in the middle of the night, remembering my old star" (Jiao's "Feeling"). Going upstairs at night misses the beauty of the past and has the meaning of years; "New love follows the bright candle, and the stars fly in" (Tang Du Fu's "Friendship with Wei and Shaofu") refers to brilliant light; The ancients also called it "going to the star" to enter the DPRK as a lang. There are warm wind, cool wind, cold wind and evil wind in nature, which are related to human society, weathering, grace, character and black wind, and even coincide with the meaning of love between men and women. In this way, only the first sentence will give people infinite reverie and doubt.

To the west is the studio, to the east is the osmanthus hall, a carved attic and a hall made of osmanthus wood, which is extremely luxurious and beautiful. The painting building is the auxiliary, Guitang is the main one, and the west of the painting building is the vein of Guitang East. "There is a figure in it", which leads readers to follow the poet's eyes to Guitang. It is worth noting that the poet is not in Guitang, and his environment is under the quiet and deep night sky with high stars.

The last two sentences are wonderful, exquisite and well known, and they are a group of wonderful antitheses. Lingxi, such as spring moon: "it means that the center is white and the two ends are connected." Cai Feng and lin xi are gods, so the feelings here are noble. The meaning of the poem is to sigh that I have no wings to transform Cai Feng, and I only leave light and spiritual connection. This pursuit, though unattainable, is very touching.

Tie writing hook covered with wine warm lamp red music. The delivery hook originated from a legend in the Han Dynasty. It is said that when Mrs. Gou Jian was a child, her hands were always clenched into fists and there was no way to loosen them. Later, when Emperor Wu saw it, he broke her hand and a jade hook fell from her hand. From then on, her hands were no longer curled and she was named "Hook a Lady". Later generations follow this legend, adapt it, and hide the hook at the banquet, which makes people guess. Repetition is also a game in the Tang banquet, and it is speculated that people use words to hide things in the wine order. Both games need the cooperation of many people to complete, and they are linked with the first two couplets. The stars are still hanging high ahead, the breeze in Ling Ran is empty, the night has arrived, but the figure is falling, and the wine is warm and the lights are red. The words "warm" and "red", one describing spring wine and the other describing wax lamps, are full of wanton laughter and a harmonious scene. The contrast is disturbing. Lin Geng said in summing up the Tang poetry: "Red is a warm color, it is flowing and lively, so it is close to complexity". The suggestibility of color is the most infectious in literature and art, and the red in poetry is sometimes the other way around. In ancient times, there were red shadows all over the house, such as "No one came to see the peony in the old palace" (Tang Palace) and "No red flame to save moths", which set off the loneliness of the author Xiao Suo. To readers' surprise, there were two scenes with such a big contrast in one world. The poet's loneliness is the loneliness hidden in the excitement, and red is the surging torrent under the appearance of harmony.

The last two sentences of the poem, it is natural to walk to Lantai's desolate pain. Listening to the drums is like grass, and the loneliness of the moment reminds people of the warmth of yesterday. The poet lamented that he was "listening to the drums and being an official", but the official body was "like scattered grass". It was really sad for them to have a hard time in the future. This is a method of reverse knotting. In the front, there was a lot of joy, and at the end, the joy disappeared, which reflected the poet's indelible and unforgettable love.

Brief introduction of the author

Li Shangyin, a native of Yuxi, xi, was a famous poet Fan Nansheng in the Tang Dynasty. His ancestral home is Qinyang, Hanoi (now Jiaozuo, Henan) and Xingyang, Zhengzhou. He is good at poetry writing, and his parallel prose also has high literary value. He is one of the most outstanding poets in the late Tang Dynasty. Together with Du Mu, it is called "Xiao", and together with Wen, it is called "Wen Li". Because his poems and essays are similar to the paragraphs and essays of the same period, all three of them rank sixteenth in the family, so they are also called "Thirty-six Style". His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems are touching, beautiful and moving, and are widely read. However, some poems are too obscure to be solved, and there is even a saying that "poets always love Quincy and hate that no one writes about Jian Zheng". Caught in the struggle between Niu and Li, I was frustrated all my life. After his death, he was buried in his hometown of Qinyang (now the junction of Qinyang and Aibo County in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province). His works are included in Li Yishan's poems.
