Whispering Breezes: A Glimpse into Traditional Chinese Verse

After swinging on the swing, she lazily got up and adjusted her delicate hands. Dewdrops hung on the slender flower branches, the buds of flowers waiting to bloom, and her thin gauzy clothes were permeated with sweat from swinging. Suddenly seeing a guest, she hurriedly ran away without putting on her shoes, only wearing socks, and her golden hairpin fell off. Shyly running away, leaning against the door to look back, clearly watching the guest, but sniffing the green plums in front of the door to cover up.

This verse, still questioned, is likely an early work of Qingzhao, describing the innocent look of a girl. The first part describes the spiritual state after swinging the swing. The poet does not write about the joy of swinging, but takes the moment after “kick the swing” to cut. Although all the actions at this moment have stopped, one can still imagine the girl swinging on the swing, the robe fluttering like a swallow, flying up and down in the air, and the cleverness is visible. “Get up and lazy to organize Qian Qian’s hand,” “lazy” The two words are very appropriate. After getting off the swing, the hands are a little numb, but they are too lazy to move a little, showing the girl’s charming. “Qian Qian’s hand” came from “Nineteen Ancient Poems”: “Ehuo Hongfen makeup, Qianqian Chusushou.” Describe the delicate and delicate beauty of the hands, and also point out the age and identity of the characters. “Thin sweat light clothes through,” she was wearing “light clothes”, that is, Luo Chang Chu’s initial test, from dry to swing, a thin body sweat, forehead and even oozing crystal sweat. This beautiful temperament is like a slender flower branch with a shiny dewdrop. “Lu Nong Flower Lean” said the time is early spring, the location is the garden also set off the appearance of beautiful people. The entire paragraph is written in silence, with flowers and people, vividly depicting the look of a girl after swinging the swing. The next paragraph describes the girl’s state of mind when she saw the guest. She just finished the swing and was too tired to move. Suddenly a stranger came into the garden. “Seeing guests come in,” she was surprised, and didn’t care to dress up, quickly avoiding. “Wei Jian,” which means that she didn’t have time to wear shoes, just wearing socks and walking. “Golden Chaoliu” said that the hair was loose, and the gold hair fell down, writing a hurry and panic. Although the poem did not describe who the sudden guest was, it can be confirmed from the reaction of the poet that he must be a handsome boy. The three words “and shy walk” accurately depict her inner feelings and external actions at this moment. “He Xiou” means shy, and “go” means running too. However, more wonderful is the second sentence of “leaning against the door, but smelling the green plums.” It depicts the girl’s subtle psychology of fearing and wanting to see, wanting to see but dare not see. In the end, she had to disguise herself with “smelling green plums” to secretly look at him a few eyes. The next paragraph is written in action to write psychology, several actions are clear, twists and turns, and a girl’s surprise, panic, shy, curious and love psychological activities, vividly depicted. Tang Han Han Lu Yao “Gan Lian Ji” wrote similar poetry: “Seeing guests come in and laugh and walk, rubbing plums and reflecting on the door.” But in comparison, “he laughed and walked” seemed light, “and shy to walk” now deep: “holding plums” only showed insecurity, “but smelling green plums” could draw a flattering picture: the girl’s posture Look forward, add “look back” a pen, the girl peeps at the state of the king, although there is something, but can be proud of blue, after winning “music” reputation
