In pipa, the changes of pipa music and melody are described by comparison, such as crisp, tactful, dignified, smooth, warm and nervous, and the sentences that include the end of music are also extremely wonderful, this sentence is and, before she laid her pick down, she ended with one stroke and and all four strings made one sound, as of rending silk.
Pipaxing is a long narrative poem written by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. By describing the superb playing skills and unfortunate life experiences of the geisha pipa girl, this poem reveals the unreasonable phenomena such as bureaucratic corruption, the decline of people's livelihood and the burying of talents in feudal society, expresses the poet's deep sympathy for the pipa girl, and also expresses the poet's resentment at his innocent being demoted.
The narrative and lyric of the whole poem are closely combined to create a complete and distinct character image; The language flow is symmetrical, beautiful and harmonious, especially the description of pipa performance, which is apt in metaphor, turns virtual into reality and presents a distinct musical image.
Creation background In June of the 1th year of Yuanhe in Tang Xianzong (815), the forces of the Tang Dynasty sent assassins to stab the Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng at the head of Chang 'an Street, and stabbed Pei Du, an imperial adviser. There was a great uproar in the ruling and opposition, and the forces of the buffer region further demanded the removal of Pei Du, in order to secure the "anti-side" heart of the buffer region. Bai Juyi advocated that the murderer should be strictly arrested, which was suspected of "overstepping his duties".
Besides, Pingsu wrote many allegorical poems, which offended the powerful people in the DPRK, so he was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima. Sima was the assistant of the secretariat. In the middle Tang Dynasty, he specially placed "criminal" officials, which belonged to disguised distribution. This incident had a great influence on Bai Juyi, which was the turning point of his ideological change. Since then, his early fighting spirit has gradually worn away and his negative emotions have increased.
Overall appreciation of Pipa Opera:
As mentioned in the preface, the contents of Pipa Opera are written about the scene when the author was demoted from Chang 'an to Jiujiang and listened to an Chang 'an advocate to play the pipa and tell his life experience. As a long narrative poem, this poem is rigorous and meticulous in structure, with twists and turns in plot and ups and downs.
This is a well-known masterpiece of realism. The full text takes the characters as clues, not only writing the life experience of the pipa girl, but also writing the poet's feelings, and then meeting in the sentence of "we are both unhappy -- to the sky's end". The tragic experience of the singer is very specific and can be regarded as a bright line.
The poet's feelings permeate between the lines, and with the music played by the pipa girl and the constant changes of her life experience, layers of waves are created, which can be regarded as dark lines. This one is bright and dark, one is real and one is empty, which makes the plot ups and downs. The story it tells is tortuous and touching, and the emotions it expresses can arouse people's * * * sounds. The language is beautiful but not flashy, refined but not obscure, and the content is close to life and has a broad sociality, which is elegant and popular.
