Background创作背景

This ci is set between late spring and early summer. Someone wakes to find fallen petals everywhere, takes out an old round fan, and old sorrows rush back, along with longing for someone far away in the south. This ci by Ye Mengde was already famous in his own time. There is no reliable record of whom it was written for or when; it is usually thought to be an early work.

这首词写暮春到初夏的时节，一个人睡醒后看到落花满地，找出旧团扇，勾起了往日的伤心事，又思念远在江南的人。叶梦得这首词在当时就很有名。它是为谁、在什么时候写的，没有可靠的记载，一般认为是他早年的作品。

The poet作者

Ye Mengde (1077–1148), also called Shaoyun, came from Wu County near Suzhou. He lived from the end of the Northern Song into the Southern Song. He held many high posts and was very learned; his books include a collection of ci and a book of talks on poetry. His early ci are graceful and gentle, and this one is a classic example. After living through war, his later style became bolder.

叶梦得（1077—1148），字少蕴，号石林居士，苏州吴县人，生活在北宋末到南宋初。他做过不少大官，学问很好，留下《石林词》《石林诗话》等书。他早年的词清丽婉转，这首就是代表；后来经历战乱，词风变得更加豪迈。

The mood意境

The first stanza shows a lazy evening. Someone wakes to orioles, green moss on the ground, petals by the window. The last flowers have blown away and no one saw; only the willows sway by themselves. This quiet emptiness is the loneliness inside. As the heat comes, out comes the round fan, now covered in dust, with its painted fairy on a luan bird, and old sorrows rush back. One small fan brings back a whole forgotten past. The second stanza opens wide: the river meets the sky, green as wine, with mist and rain. The speaker wants to send a water flower to someone far away, but no one can carry it. They watch a far sail and a lone goose until the mountains hide it. At the end comes the question: who will sing for me? The deep longing, and the loneliness of having no one to tell, hang in the air.

上阕写一个慵懒的傍晚：睡醒听见莺叫，地上青苔，窗前落花，残花被吹光了也没人看见，只有柳条自己在风里摇。这份冷清，就是心里的寂寞。天热了，找出团扇，扇上落满了灰，画着骑鸾鸟的仙女，一下子勾起旧日伤心事。小小一把扇子，让人想到被冷落的过去。下阕视野一下子打开：江水连天，碧绿如酒，烟雨蒙蒙。想采一枝蘋花寄给远方的人，却没人能替自己送去；望着远帆和孤雁，直到被千山挡住。最后问：谁为我唱一曲？把深深的思念和无人可诉的孤独留在空中。
