Famous lines by Li Qingzhao in "Nan Gezi"

Li Qingzhao's famous line in "Nan Gezi": In the old days, the weather was the same and the clothes were the same, but only the feelings were different from the old days at home!

Appreciation:

"Old weather, old clothes" is a very common saying. Only those who have experienced the vicissitudes of life can understand the many contents and emotions contained in it. The "old home time" in the sentence "Only the feelings are not like the old home time" is also the "old time". The cool autumn weather is as old as ever, and the gold and green robes are as old as before. The people wearing these robes are also old people who lived in the past. Only people's "feelings" are not like the old days! The "old time" here does not refer to any time in the past in general, but to a specific time she recalled with her husband. At that time, it was also the same night, the same weather, and I was wearing the same clothes. "Old time clothes" not only points out that what is described in the previous two sentences is clothes, echoes the "Qi Jie Luo Yi" in the above sentence, but also supplements the "old time" that this Luo Yi was written.

The objective things you come into contact with are somewhat similar to those of the past, which makes the memories clearer, the associations more concrete, and the feelings become stronger. The style of the text also strongly emphasizes the difference in feelings below, directly revealing the central meaning of the whole word: I think back on how happy the couple was when they were loving each other. Compared with the bad feelings of being alone and lonely today, there is a huge difference. . The author does not directly talk about the evil of today's feelings - "the feelings are not like the old days at home", but first uses the unchangedness of various things - "the old weather and the old clothes" to set off the changes of "only feelings", which makes people feel pity and compassion. , sigh. This artistic effect is the power of the lining technique. Liu Xizai was very insightful when he said: "The beauty of Ci is all public and negative." . The most prominent feature of Yi'an's poetry is the use of ordinary language in his poetry. Every word and every sentence is carefully crafted, and everyday spoken language is harmoniously incorporated into poetry. This poem may seem ordinary, but it only expresses the thoughts of a talented woman. It is not surprising or angry, but it is deeply touching.

Vernacular translation

The Milky Way keeps turning and the stars move in the sky, but the curtains of the human world hang motionless and low. The pillow mat became colder, more tears flowed, and it became wet. He slept in his clothes, woke up, took off his silk coat, and immediately asked: "When is the night?"

This Luo Yi has been worn for many years, and the lotus pods embroidered with green silk thread have become become smaller; the lotus leaves embroidered with gold thread lose color and become thin and sparse. Every time it is cool in autumn, I always return this Luo Yi. Only people's mood is not as comfortable as before.
