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 corpus writes the word for tilted with a rare variant character; the common text uses the usual form. Both mean the same. The title follows the common text, which adds the occasion: seeing off Chen Junheng.

语料库作“风敧”，通行本作“风欹”，两字意思相同，都是歪斜。题目按通行本补上“送陈君衡被召”。

Background创作背景

Chen Junheng was Chen Yunping, Zhou Mi's friend and also a ci poet. After the Southern Song fell, the Yuan rulers summoned well-known scholars from the south to their capital Dadu, today's Beijing. Chen was summoned too, and Zhou Mi wrote this to see him off. The first half imagines the grand, busy journey north. The second half tells of Zhou Mi alone in the south, missing his friend.

陈君衡就是陈允平，是周密的朋友，也是词人。南宋灭亡以后，元朝征召江南有名的读书人到北方的大都（今北京）去。陈允平也被召去，周密写了这首词给他送行。上半首想象朋友一路北上的热闹和风光，下半首写自己留在江南的孤单和思念。

The poet作者

Zhou Mi, also called Caochuang, was a ci poet at the end of the Southern Song. With Wu Wenying he was known as the Two Windows. He lived around Hangzhou. After the Song fell he refused to serve the Yuan, and wrote many books and lyrics remembering the lost country. The sadness in this lyric is tied to that loss too.

周密，号草窗，南宋末年的词人，和吴文英并称“二窗”。他住在杭州一带，宋朝灭亡后不肯去元朝做官，写了很多回忆故国的书和词。这首词里的伤感，也和亡国之痛连在一起。

The mood意境

The first half is full of noise and color: banners light the fields, carriages roll on, and the friend in official dress drinks, writes poems and hears drums in the north wind. But the old Qin passes and the Bian River were once Song land, and now they belong to others. Under the noise lies a pain that cannot be spoken. The second half turns cold. Heavy snow on the Yan Mountains, frozen rivers and dawn clouds are the north the friend must face. Green willows at West Lake and returning geese are the south where Zhou Mi stays. The geese come back, but the friend does not. At the end, even every plum blossom picked cannot carry his longing. Friendship and grief for the lost country both run deep and long.

上半首写得很热闹：旗子照亮原野，车马成队，朋友穿着官服，在北风里喝酒、写诗、听鼓乐。可是“秦关汴水”是原来宋朝的土地，现在却成了别人的，热闹里藏着说不出的苦。下半首一下子冷下来：燕山的大雪、冰冻的河、清晨的云，是朋友要面对的北方；西湖的绿柳、回来的大雁，是周密留守的江南。雁回来了，人还没回来。最后折尽梅花也寄不出相思，把朋友情和故国情都写得又深又长。
