Tune: Song of Divination Title: Ode to the Mume Blossom
Beside the broken bridge and outside the post hall
詞是一種特殊的詩(shī)歌。它始于南朝(420-589),在唐朝(618-907)得到進(jìn)一步發(fā)展,并在宋朝(960-1279)達(dá)到頂峰。每個(gè)詞都有調(diào)子。流行的旋律通常用于詞。每個(gè)詞都有一個(gè)標(biāo)題。標(biāo)題通常與內(nèi)容有關(guān)。
關(guān)于梅花的詩(shī)詞有很多。上文分享的是宋代詩(shī)人陸游(1125-1210)的一首。它顯示了梅花高貴的品質(zhì)——驕傲、堅(jiān)定和低調(diào),正如陸游一樣。
陸游所在的宋朝當(dāng)時(shí)屢遭金國(guó)進(jìn)犯,當(dāng)時(shí)陸游支持與之開戰(zhàn)。然而,宋朝戰(zhàn)敗,陸游失去官職不得已重返家鄉(xiāng)。陸游借由梅花表達(dá)了自己盡管歷經(jīng)磨難內(nèi)心依然強(qiáng)大的思想。
Ci is a special kind of poem. It started in the Southern Dynasties (420-589), was further developed (發(fā)展) during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and reached its high point during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Every ci follows a tune (詞牌). Popular melodies (旋律) were usually used for ci. Every ci also has a title. The title usually has something to do with the content (內(nèi)容).

你知道嗎 陸游此詞深受后世喜愛,引發(fā)許多人仿作。受陸游啟發(fā),毛澤東也創(chuàng)作了一首同調(diào)同名的詞章,然而二者風(fēng)格意味卻大不相同。陸游詞作彌漫著憂郁之氣,而毛澤東的作品則更多樂觀與活力。
NEWS 以下是毛澤東所作的《卜算子·詠梅》: 風(fēng)雨送春歸,飛雪迎春到,已是懸崖百丈冰,猶有花枝俏。
Wind and rain escorted spring’s departure / Flying snow welcomes spring’s return / On the ice-clad rock rising high and sheer / A flower blooms sweet and fair /Sweet and fair, she craves not spring for herself alone / To be the harbinger of spring she is content / When the mountain flowers are in full bloom /
She will smile mingling in their midst. |
