The historical background of pinglan
In Tang and Song poetry, there are often sighs of "leaning on the bar" and "leaning on the bar". It can be said that leaning on the column is one of the most common images in Song Ci. Compared with the ascent of Tang poetry, most of the Song ci poems are "leaning against the column", and almost every poet has a time to lean against the column and sigh. Why? I think there are two reasons: from the content point of view, after facing the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the poets in the Song Dynasty chose to take life sorrow as the theme, rather than politics as the theme. This may be because of different social backgrounds; Judging from the writing characteristics, the length of Song Ci is generally long, so narrative techniques are often used in Ci. Compared with the lyric description of Tang poetry, the artistic conception is more specific and considerable. As a result, the image of Pinglan appeared frequently in Song Ci.

So, what kind of image is the railing? For this reason, I found 10 related Song Ci and chewed it carefully, and found that these Lan Ci have some similarities. So I summed up four words: late, construction, independence and dependence. "Late", or the evening when the sun sets, or the night when the moon shines high; "Architecture" is a pavilion. Only pavilions have railings, and pavilions are generally built in high places, so buildings should also be tall buildings, so as to stand tall and think deeply; The word "independence" tells us that people who stand on the fence are very poor, hanging down alone, or wandering or missing women; The last word "lean" means lean on the railing. Seeing such an image, can you guess what that person is doing? Waiting for someone? Maybe it is. If you want to lean on the railing alone, you must be looking forward to your other half coming together as soon as possible. However, this kind of lovesickness did not decrease quickly, but strengthened day by day and deepened again and again, because this railing did not end in a day or two, but lasted for a month or two. This image is really sad. Except waiting for someone? Homesick? Is this the action of a person of status? Not bad! When people are stranded and in a foreign land, there is always something to rely on. And scolding is the best way to express feelings.

The emotion expressed when leaning against the railing is very delicate, and the emotional tone it lays is very low, all of which are related to leaving sorrow, and most of them take pictures with tears. From Li Jing's Breaking the Stream Sand to Fan Zhong 'an's Su Curtain Covering, to Ouyang Xiu's Walking on the Sand, to Liu Yong's Klang Ganzhou, and Qin Guan's Wang Haichao, all of them are sad works. If you really want to divide it, you can only divide it into homesickness articles and wife-wandering articles according to different objects, with the latter being the majority. Nostalgia poems often express the sad feelings of suffering from the vicissitudes of the world by comparing the past with the present. Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, wrote a song "Langtaosha" after the national subjugation. This word describes a rainy night in spring. After waking up, he leaned against the railing and recalled the happy scene in his dream just now. That has become a thing of the past, and now he is like a prisoner. "Don't lean on the fence alone, it's infinite, it's not easy to see when it's not easy, the running water has gone, and heaven and earth are also there!" Li Yu, don't lean on the fence alone, although the rivers and mountains are still different. The water has gone with the spring and is irreversible. The past and the present are worlds apart, and the hatred of national subjugation is multiplied. Li Yu's railing is far-reaching and infectious. In Song Dynasty, Qin Guan wrote the word "Wang Haichao" on his way back to Luoyang after being demoted. "The flag of alcohol and tobacco is slanting, leaning against the building is very eye-catching, and when you see a duck. I have no choice but to return to my heart and go to the end of the world with the water. " The poet revisited his old place and stood on the railing, his eyes full of smoke and ducks, which matched the peach blossoms of the past song and dance feast, so the years changed and the feeling of desolation of flowing water came to life.

There are countless words to describe homeless women. It is enough to be a great poet, not to mention that most of them are based on this theme. Among them, there are many descriptions of women's thinking. For example, Wen's Dream in the South of the Yangtze River, Wang's Calling Golden Gate and Li Jing's Puxi Sha. At the beginning of Jiangnan Dream, the article points out the image of railings. "Wash and dress and lean on Wangjianglou alone." The person leaning against the railing here is a noble young woman. She had nothing to do but dress up and lean against the railing. "After all, Qian Fan is not, and the oblique photos are all water." Sifu leaned against the railing and looked at the ships in the south of the Yangtze River, but after countless ships, none came back with her husband, only the river flowed away. Through the image of the railing, the image of an infatuated woman is clearly presented to the reader, and it is not difficult for the reader to understand the pain of "heartbroken Bai Pingzhou". A thoughtful woman always leans against the railing and cries. "How many tears are infinitely hateful, leaning against the railing." Actually, it's natural. Can this sadness brought by parting from sorrow and not hating not make people cry? Perhaps there will be no tears when writing homesick words, but a gentle and painful feeling. Liu Yong's Die Hua Lian and Klang Ganzhou are such masterpieces. The common theme is that I travel and miss my family. The Dead Hua Lian is a lyric masterpiece in memory of Iraqis. The poet combines the feeling of living in a foreign land with the lingering thoughts of missing relatives to express sincere feelings. The poet has been leaning on the railing for a long time, only accompanied by the breeze, and the spring sorrow can be expected. "Who can rely on silence?" Under this image, the poet sighed: Who can understand my sadness at the moment? The poet tried to drown his sorrows in wine to forget this annoying homesickness, but he couldn't, so he had an eternal famous sentence, "Clothes are getting wider and wider without regret, and he is haggard for Iraq." Among Liu Yong's poems, Klang Ganzhou is a famous work. The sentimental state of this word is swept away, and it looks magnificent. The vigorous melody contains a lofty and tragic voice in the desolation. Another autumn night, poets stood holding their heads, and there was "red decline and green decline" everywhere, "only the Yangtze River water, no words flowing east". Faced with this scene, the poet really "can't bear to climb high and look far." Why? Just because my hometown is far away, I wander around and stay in a foreign land. "I want to see the beauty's makeup building", and I hope Lang will return to the boat, but I don't know that the poet is standing against the bar at this time, and my heart is full of sorrow! There are two railings between the lines, one is the wife of my hometown, and the other is the husband of a different place. The two are thousands of miles apart, and they can only miss each other through the railing. The interweaving of these two images really caused people to sing.

It is precisely because the railing is so worrying and painful that many poets lament "Don't lean on the railing". Li Yu's Langtaosha is an example. There are Ouyang Xiu's Walking in the Sand and Fan Zhong 'an's Su Curtain. In "Treading on Sally", the poet is also a long-distance traveler, missing his wife, writing on both sides, leaving sorrows and sorrows on both sides and hating each other. When describing the imagination of missing his wife on a distant road, the ci sent out the feeling that "the building is high and leaning against the dangerous fence", because "there are many laymen in Chunshan", his wife will only worry about the fence. Even a great man like Fan Zhongan will have the fear of "the bright moon building will rest alone". It can be seen that whether you are worried, homesick or lovesick, you will be worried when you lean against the railing. It is precisely because the railing can not be separated from sorrow that the railing has become a kind of dependence, a pillar and the same sustenance. It can not only provide material support to people, but also give some spiritual support to people who miss them and pin their feelings on them.

Generally speaking, the railing image is rich in connotation, which gives countless poets a broad ideological space and is conducive to the expression of emotions. No wonder it is so popular in Song Ci.

The ancients did this, and so did modern people.
