Underlined words have notes: tap one. The Pinyin button below shows or hides all pinyin. 一 and 不 are marked with the tone you actually say.字下有虚线的，点开有注释。下方的“拼音”按钮可以显示或隐藏全部拼音。“一”“不”标的是实际读出来的变调。

The source text differs a lot from the common version. It opens with a different word for beauty, and has different wording in many places, such as the bed curtains, the slanting moon, the warm wine and the line about tying the sash. Here we use the common text, as in Three Hundred Song Ci.

原文与通行本差别较大：开头作“艳真多态”，又有“琴心相许”“与写宜男双带”“斜月朦胧”“轻颦微笑”“便翡翠屏开，芙蓉帐掩，与把香罗偷解”“往来翻恨”“春浓酒暖”等不同。这里采用《宋词三百首》等通行本的文字。

Background创作背景

This ci tells a love story. The first stanza remembers meeting a woman, falling in love and their secret meeting. The second tells how, after they parted, he could not see her again and could only miss her through the spring days. It is usually read as written in a man's voice. There is no reliable record of when or for whom it was written. Several versions exist with quite different wording; here we use the common one.

这首词写一段恋情：上半首回忆和一位女子从相识、相爱到幽会的经过，下半首写分别以后再也见不到她，只能在春日里苦苦思念。一般认为是以男子的口吻来写的。写于何时、为谁而写，没有可靠的记载。这首词有好几个版本，文字差别不小，这里用的是通行本。

The poet作者

He Zhu (1052–1125), also called Qinghu Yilao, was a Northern Song ci poet. He was tall with a dark face, and people nicknamed him Ghost-head He. He was bold by nature, yet many of his ci are soft and tender. A famous line of his about rain when the plums turn yellow earned him the nickname Plum He. This ci belongs to his tender kind.

贺铸（1052—1125），字方回，号庆湖遗老，北宋词人。他长得高大，脸色青黑，人称“贺鬼头”，性格豪爽，可他的词却有很多写得十分柔美。他的《青玉案》里有“梅子黄时雨”的名句，人们又叫他“贺梅子”。这首词就属于他柔美细腻的一类。

The mood意境

The first stanza is a sweet memory. She wears light makeup, and her bright eyes glance back at him again and again. He understands her heart at once. Later they meet in the painted hall, and her frown and smile are utterly charming. The second stanza turns cold. After the Lantern Festival he never sees her again on the spring outings. He sends word by the swallows, but even they cannot get past the layers of curtains. The livelier spring gets, the emptier he feels. He drinks, sleeps and wakes, and the sun is still hanging on the flowering branches. How long this day is! The last line never says I miss you. It only says the sun will not set, yet all the restless waiting is inside it.

上半首像一段甜甜的回忆：她化着淡妆，眼睛亮亮的，一次又一次回头看他。他一下子就懂了她的心意。后来在画堂里相会，她皱眉、浅笑，可爱极了。下半首一下子变冷：过了元宵节，春天的郊游里再也看不见她。他托燕子带话，可燕子也飞不进一层层的帘子。春天越热闹，他越无聊，喝了酒睡一觉醒来，太阳竟然还挂在花枝上，这一天怎么这样长。最后一句不说想念，只写太阳迟迟不落，可等待的心焦全在里面了。
