Color book complaint
At the beginning of the Dongting under the fallen leaves, I missed Wan Li.
The dew is fragrant and cold, and the moon is empty.
I want to play Jiangnan music, and I am greedy for giving books to the north.
There is no other meaning in the book, but I have been away from home for a long time.
translate
The time to get together is always short, and the time to expect is always long. Autumn is coming again, the red leaves of the river float to Dongting Lake, but you are thousands of miles away. Autumn night is long, lovesickness is longer; Only the cold dew brings desolation, and only the moon is my companion.
I really want to play a cheerful Jiangnan lotus picking song, seal it in a letter and send it to Jibei one by one. Nothing else was written in the letter, only the long-standing lovesickness and melancholy.
Literary appreciation
This poem is about thinking about her husband's grievances. Although it conveys the author's thoughts about Tang Zhongzong, it is not about herself, but a fantasy. Sifu lives near Dongting Lake, south of the Yangtze River, and her husband is far north of Yuji. This arrangement is ingenious. The first sentence not only points out the season and place, but also uses the poem "Dongting waves under leaves" in Chu Ci. The two couplets in the middle are extremely skillful, and the topic is pointed out at the end. Zhong Xing rated this poem as "High Soul", which is really a masterpiece in Tang poetry.
The first couplet points out the place, time and theme, that is, the memory of her husband in late autumn. The first sentence "Dongting under the leaves" is translated into Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs, Mrs. Xiang", "The ice roll enjoys the autumn wind, and Dongting enjoys the waves under the leaves. The meaning of the sentence "Looking to the future and getting married" points out the season, and borrows the auspicious meaning of looking forward to the arrival of Hunan water god in Qu Yuan's poem, implying the long-cherished wish of looking forward to her husband's early return. The second sentence, "Rain in Wan Li", said that the farther her husband went, the deeper she read, and the word "Xiang" dominated the whole article.
Zhuan Xu wrote about thinking about women's grievances, and wrote the climax of grievances with "cold" and "empty". Use "fragrance cold" and "brocade screen empty" to reflect the richness of life and the emptiness and depression of mood, and use "dew thick" and "fragrance cold" when it is cold and no one is around. Late at night, there is still no one in Jinping, and the boudoir is lonely, which will naturally lead to resentment from "thinking".
The neck couplet further falsely writes "thinking" and deepens the word "resentment". "Jiangnan Qu" is not an essential word in this poem, but in order to find a spouse for "Jibeishu", I thought of the sentence "I want to play Jiangnan Qu", which shows her originality in law. The depth of his thoughts and feelings and the intensity of his resentment penetrated the back of the paper.
The end-to-end bundle receives the entire article. The expression "no other meaning" not only expresses her homesickness, but also expresses her concern for her husband. "Long separation from other places" expresses the author's melancholy mood. Its "resentment" and its "thinking" are obvious.
The poem links "country" with "home" by describing the scene that the wife misses her husband, which has a certain political color. The whole poem is profound and open, natural and sincere, beautiful and subtle, neat and affectionate.
This poem overcomes the shortcomings of lack of emotion in the early Tang Dynasty. After nearly a hundred years of emotional silence, the palace poems in the early Tang Dynasty began to express their feelings in a long, affectionate and wonderful way. From this perspective, it can be regarded as "the redemption of court poetry".

Creation background
This poem was written in the early Tang Dynasty. Shangguan Waner was trapped in the palace all her life, but when she got married, she couldn't enjoy the happiness that ordinary women deserved because of the teasing of fate. Although she won the favor of Wu Zetian, there were only three thousand beauties in the harem and only one emperor. Although they live a rich life, they can't get sincere feelings.
Although this poem reflects the author's yearning for Tang Zhongzong, it is not a true description of himself, but an imitation. This poem imitates the poem "Never Forget" and describes the resentment of a woman who misses her husband.
