Loneliness beyond time and space
The pain of emotional life and anxiety about the country and the nation pushed Li Qingzhao to the deep sea of suffering. She is like a lonely boat, swaying helplessly in the wind and waves. But if there are only these two points, it is not the most painful, loneliness and cold. Originally, it was inevitable for divorced people in life; Loyalists and ministers are abandoned and passed down from generation to generation. What's more, she is a weak woman, born in troubled times? The problem is that it is so difficult for her to realize the value of an ordinary person besides suffering from national disaster and emotional troubles. In her twilight years, Li Qingzhao, childless, guarded a lonely small courtyard and had no relatives around her. State affairs are difficult to ask, and family matters are afraid to be mentioned again. Only the autumn wind sweeps the yellow leaves in front of the door, and occasionally one or two old friends visit. She has a friend named Sun. Her little daughter is ten years old and very smart. One day, when the children came to play, Li Qingzhao told her that you should learn something. I am old and willing to teach me what I have learned all my life. I don't want my child to blurt out, "It's not a woman's business to have talent."
Li Qingzhao's word "Sound Slow" Li Qingzhao couldn't help but gasp, and she was dizzy. The child's words are unbridled. It turns out that talented women in this society are really redundant. However, she cares about state affairs, writes books, preaches and teaches to solve doubts, and has always been extravagant. Her collection of cultural relics is overwhelming, and she is knowledgeable and eloquent in Beijing. In the end, she had no way to serve the country, no trust in feelings, and no expertise in learning. Others think she is strange. Li Qingzhao felt as if she had fallen into an abyss irrelevant in all directions, and a terrible sense of loneliness came to her. No one in this world can read her mind. She walked blankly among the fallen leaves and yellow flowers in late autumn in Hangzhou and sang this song "Slow Voice", which condensed her life and pain and established her position in the history of China literature:
Looking around, lonely and sad. It's the hardest to stop breathing when it's warm and cold. Three glasses and two glasses of wine, how can you compare with it? It's too late to worry. Guo Yan is very sad, but this is an old acquaintance. The yellow flowers are piled all over the floor, withered and damaged, and now no one can pick them. Looking out the window, how can you be alone? Indus is drizzling, and at dusk, it is falling. This time, what a sad sentence!
The tragedy of Li Qingzhao is that she is a literate woman born in feudal times. As a woman, she was at the bottom of feudal society, and as an intellectual, she was at the commanding height of social thought. She saw many things that others could not see, and pursued the realm that many people did not pursue, which inevitably led to loneliness and sadness. As a civilian, she thinks about the responsibility to the public and the affairs of the country; As a woman, seek parallel personality and respect love. No matter how she treats politics, studies, love and marriage, she will not go with the flow, and will inevitably have loneliness and unavoidable sorrow that transcends time and space. She bears a heavy cross, which is a combination of national difficulties, family difficulties, marriage difficulties and academic difficulties. All conflicts and hardships caused by feudal autocracy in politics, culture, morality, marriage and personality are reflected in her thin body like yellow flowers.
Li Qingzhao's ci does not win by words, but "expresses fresh meaning in shallow and vulgar language." Elegance is common, with a natural and elegant artistic style, reaching the realm of simplicity and beauty. For example, "Sound Slow" begins with fourteen overlapping words of "searching, cold and clear, sad and miserable", which is original, natural and simple, and has no gouge marks. In particular, the psychological depiction of "phoenix tree raining and dripping at dusk" is the vitality of Li Qingzhao's ci, and it is also the main reason why Li Qingzhao's ci is sung by later generations.
The rich content reflects the poet's feelings. For example, "Like a dream, the rain blew suddenly last night" summed up the poet's psychology of loving the beautiful things of nature in just 33 words. Among them, the words "fat" and "thin" describe the scene of lush green leaves and safflower dying after wind and rain in late spring and early summer. The language of Li Qingzhao's ci is tempered, fresh and natural, and is not bound by predecessors.
Li Qingzhao's ci pays great attention to the harmonious beauty of melody and timbre. Her ci gives people a beautiful melody, full of emotional changes and strong aesthetic feeling. Li Qingzhao attached great importance to the sound of melody and emphasized "harmony", but she was not bound in her creation. Rhythm is an important factor in the harmonious beauty of poetry and music. Li Qingzhao is good at expressing ups and downs of thoughts and feelings with different rhythms of intricate tone rhythm. For example, the bold innovation of the word "slow voice" in tone art is unique in Song Ci. Not only does it show ups and downs, cadence and harmonious rhythm in monotony, but it also goes deep into emotions, just showing the inner psychological change process of characters' feelings. Li Qingzhao's ci has aesthetic feeling not only in the use of reduplicated words, but also in the use of reduplicated sentences and even connected sentences.

Poetry appreciation
well
The rain stopped suddenly last night. Deep sleep won't leave a hangover. Asked the shutter man, he said, "Haitang is still there." You know what? You know what? It should be green, fat and thin!
This poem, with its characters, scenes and dialogues, fully demonstrates the expressive power of the language of Song Ci and the poet's talent.
This dialogue shows what poetry and painting can't, and shows the complex expression and tone of the boudoir, which can be described as a vivid pen. Taking "deep sleep" and "residual wine" as a bridge, the author wrote the time change and psychological evolution from white night to dawn. Then a "roller blind" skillfully and appropriately broke the dawn of the day. However, the person who asked the shutter didn't mention anything, only revealed the answer. It's really wonderful, without trace. Poets are happy for flowers, sad for flowers, drunk for flowers, and angry for flowers. In fact, they are hurting and cherishing spring, using flowers as a metaphor to lament that their youth is fleeting.
Li Qingzhao is an outstanding female writer in the history of China's poetry. She writes poems, words, essays and poems. Stone carving, calligraphy and painting are all exquisite, and the artistic achievements of Ci are the most outstanding. Wang's "Lan Feng Man Zhi" said: "Yi An has been a poet since he was a teenager, and he has made great efforts to help China and get close to others. It is rare among literati. If he was a woman in this dynasty, he should be the first to promote literary talent. Yang Shen's "Ci Pin" says: "Song people write Ci, which is also called the acme. When you dress up, you should compete with Chyi Chin and Huang Jiu, not just in the boudoir. "Wang Shizhen's" Flowers and Plants are Picking Up "says:" Graceful and restrained people take Yi 'an as the Sect, bold and unrestrained and young and safe as the first, and they are all Jinan people, which is difficult to sustain. "Li Qingzhao's ci is unique in the Song Dynasty, which is full of flowers, calling itself' Yi 'an Style'.
Li Qingzhao's language training is to explore the rich feelings in pronunciation in life and choose the most accurate and vivid language to express them from spoken language, so she can show her skills among the people and her exquisiteness in simplicity. Li Qingzhao's language is also full of musical beauty. She is highly in tune with the melody and knows how to express specific emotions by using the natural sound and rhythm of the language itself, which enhances the effect of expressing emotions in her works. There are fourteen overlapping word in the filming of Slow Sound. These fourteen overlapping words have achieved unexpected artistic effects, deepened the theme, and reached the artistic realm of "never tired of repetition, but not chaotic".
