The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. There is no sunshine but there is sunshine. Is this a description of weather phenomena?

The point is not to describe the weather, but to embody emotions in the scenery.

Original text

Zhuzhici

Liu Yuxi

The willows are green and the river is level, Wenlang sings on the river Voice.

The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. It means there is no sunshine or sunshine.

Translation

It was just after a sunny rain that the willows on both sides of the bank were swaying and verdant. The water level on the river had just risen and it was as calm as a mirror. The girl was walking along the bank in a depressed mood. Suddenly, , a melodious song floats in the wind from the river. If you listen carefully, it turns out to be a love song of a lover who has not heard from him for a long time. The sun is shining brightly in the east and the rain is falling in the west. I thought it was heartless, but in fact there is still love.

Appreciation

"Zhuzhi Ci" is a folk song from the Bayu area. When Liu Yuxi was serving as the governor of Kuizhou, he wrote more than ten lyrics based on the tune of this ballad, of which this one is the most famous.

Since ancient times, people have liked to use singing to express their feelings, either unilaterally or between two parties. If you think about it carefully, this kind of singing is really subtle. It is not like ordinary language expressions, which require a suitable atmosphere, proper processing, and certain consequences. It can come out of thin air, swim lightly, flash, far and near, paradoxical; it is like a mood. The tentacles test each other, size each other up, or retreat at the first touch, or entangle endlessly. You can't simply regard the lyrics as a clear agreement, but you can't say that it's just a false love game - the song is just the beginning, and the rest of the story has yet to be written by both parties.

Love is something that is difficult to describe and difficult to last. When it is in a hazy state, between affection and ruthlessness, it may be the most exciting, right? Needless to say, people who were once in love turned against each other in the end. Even those who became husband and wife, their days tended to be dull; "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. There is no sunshine (love) but there is sunshine (love)", Looking back, it was as ethereal as a dream.
