Appreciation of the whole poem of Jinse:
Jinse is Li Shangyin's masterpiece. Everyone who loves poetry is happy and happy, and it is the most famous. However, this is the most difficult poem to explain. Some people say that it is a love poem for a maid named "Jinse" in Linghu Chu's family; Some people say that it is a mourning poem for the late wife Wang; Others think that the four poems in the middle can meet the four feelings of appropriateness, resentment, clarity and harmony, and can be inferred as poems describing music; There are also many sayings, such as alluding to politics and writing autobiographical poems. For thousands of years, there have been many different opinions. Generally speaking, most people say "mourning" and "self-injury".
Poetry creatively uses symbols and metaphors to develop the traditional "metaphor" method. "I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, each with a youthful interval." Imagine: a beautifully painted harp has fifty strings, and the poet is feeling that he is almost fifty years old. Every string and column reminds him of the past years, suggesting that he is outstanding in talent and the years have passed.
The poem Jinse uses the first two words of the first sentence. In the old saying, it was originally thought to be a poem about objects, but the annotator seems to think that this poem has nothing to do with the theme of utensils, and it is really "untitled" to use utensils to hide the theme.
original text
Inlaid harp
Author: Li shangyin? Tang dynasty
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring.
Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun.
A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it.
Vernacular translation
Why do exquisite musical instruments have fifty strings, each of which reminds me of my youth?
Zhuang Zhou danced in his sleep and turned into a butterfly, hoping that the emperor would entrust his hatred to Du Fu.
Things change, the bright moon is in the sky, and Jiao Ren's tears are beads; Lantian is sunny and warm, and you can see good jade and good smoke.
Why do you want to recall this scene now? I just didn't know how to cherish it then.
To annotate ...
Jinse: A beautifully decorated musical instrument. A plucked instrument, usually with 25 strings.
For no reason: why? Words of resentment. Fifty strings: this is Togu's word. The author meant that Jinse should have been 25 strings.
"Zhuang Sheng" sentence: "Zhuangzi's Theory of Everything": "Zhuang Zhoumeng is a butterfly, lifelike; Self-metaphor and ambition! I don't know, Zhou Ye. If you suddenly feel it, you will suddenly feel it. I wonder if Zhou Zhimeng is a butterfly and? Is the butterfly's dream a week? " Li Shangyin quoted the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly to illustrate that life is like a dream and the past is like smoke.
"Looking at the Emperor" sentence: "Hua Yang Guo Zhi Shu Zhi": "Du Yu proclaimed himself emperor, posthumous title Wang Di. ..... Its mutual understanding, decided that Lei Yushan in order to eliminate the flood, the emperor then instructed political affairs, and the law of Yao and Shun Zen taught benevolence and righteousness, so Zen was in enlightenment. The emperor rose to the western hills. In February this year, cuckoo birds sang, and Shu people mourned cuckoo birds. " Zi Juan is a cuckoo, also called Zi Gui.
Beads with tears: "Natural History": "There is Jiao Ren outside the South China Sea, and the water lives like a fish. Don't waste your performance, tears will produce pearls. "
Lantian: Records of Yuanhe County: "Lantian County, Jingzhaofu, Guannei Road: Lantian Mountain, Yishan Mountain, 28 miles east of the county."
Just: It means "just" and "only", and it means "yes" and "absolutely right".
Gloomy: a depressed expression; If something is lost in my heart.

Interpretation of poetry
The interpretation of this poem mainly falls into two categories:
First, I think it's a poem mourning his wife Wang, and the first couplet is "respect". I watched Motome play 50 stringed instruments and felt moved by the scene. Zhuan Xu is a metaphor for his wife's death, which is compared with the tears of Zhuang Zhou, become a butterfly and Du Fu. The neckline is "magic", pearls cry for it, and Baoyu is sad for it; The end of the couplet is "love", love is gone, and memory is disconsolate!
Second, it is thought that this is the poet's recollection of the lost years. The first couplet is "Qi", which means fifty years of life and fifty strings of musical instruments; Compared with "bearing", life will come to an end unconsciously; The neckline "turns", using pearls and jewels as a metaphor for talent; The end of the couplet is "He", years make people old and everything is melancholy!
Comments of past dynasties:
Liu Ban's Poem of Zhongshan in Song Dynasty: Li Shangyin has a poem "Jinse", but people don't understand it, so it's still called Linghu Chu, a famous family in Tsing Yi.
Song Huang's Susu Miscellaneous Notes: Dongpo Rhyme: This is the joy of ancient and modern times. He said, "The golden harp is also an instrument. Its string is fifty, and its column is like this. Its sound is also appropriate, resentful, clear and harmonious." The case Shi Li, "Saint Zhuangzi daydreaming, butterfly bewitched", also applies; "Wang Dichun's heart is cuckoo crow", resentment; "Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea", Qing also; "The blue fields are breathing their jade to the sun", and. In an article, the song is the ultimate.
Wang Shizhen's Last Words of Yi Yuan in Ming Dynasty: Both Chinese and English couplets are beautiful words, which are well understood as "appropriateness, resentment, clarity and harmony". However, if you don't understand it, it's meaningless. If you understand it, it will explain everything, so that you can know the difficulty of poetry.
Gu Lin's Criticism of Tang Yin in Ming Dynasty: This poem is naturally a boudoir, and I'm afraid it won't be muddy in Jinseer.
Creation background
This poem was written in the author's later years, and the specific creation time is unknown. There are always different opinions about the creative intention of the poem Jinse. Or think it's patriotic, or think it's in memory of his dead wife, or think it's self-mutilation, compared with literary talent, or think it's a pen to express his thoughts on Shi Er. The Historical Records of Feng Chan contains 50 strings of Guser, while the latter is generally 25 strings. However, this poem was written after the death of Li Shangyin's wife, so 50 strings have the meaning of broken strings (once the 25-string Gusser string is broken in half, it is 50 strings), but even so, every string and syllable of it is enough to express the yearning for that wonderful time.
Brief introduction of the author
Li Shangyin (about 813-about 858), a native of Yuxi, xi, was a famous poet 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".
