This page uses the common edition (for example, Deng Guangming's annotated edition of Xin Qiji). It differs from the corpus in a few places. The common text has cháng pà ("always afraid") where the corpus has cháng hèn ("always regret"). It has wú guī lù ("no road back") where the corpus has mí guī lù ("lost the road back"). It has zhū wǎng ("spider's web") where the corpus has a look-alike word meaning "pearl web". It has wēi lán ("high railing") where the corpus has wēi lóu ("tall tower"). Old editions really do differ here. The lyric also has a short preface that the corpus leaves out; see the background.

本文用通行本（如邓广铭《稼轩词编年笺注》）。和语料库的文本有几处不同：通行本“惜春长怕花开早”，语料库作“长恨”；通行本“天涯芳草无归路”，语料库作“迷归路”；通行本“画檐蛛网”，语料库作“珠网”；通行本“休去倚危栏”，语料库作“危楼”。各本文字本来就有出入。另外，这首词原有一段小序，语料库没有收，内容见“背景”。

Background创作背景

A short preface says this lyric was written in 1179. That year Xin Qiji was moved from a post in Hubei to one in Hunan, managing taxes and grain. A colleague, Wang Zhengzhi, gave him a farewell feast at the Xiaoshan Pavilion, and Xin wrote this lyric there. Xin had come south more than ten years before. He longed to lead an army to win back the north, but the court kept moving him from post to post and never gave him real power. When the lyric talks of spring slipping away and a beauty envied by others, it is really talking about his own worries. A Song writer, Luo Dajing, recorded that Emperor Xiaozong was said to be displeased when he read it.

词前有一段小序，说这首词写于淳熙六年（1179年）。那年辛弃疾从湖北调到湖南做管钱粮的官，同事王正之在小山亭摆酒为他送行，他就写了这首词。辛弃疾南归已经十几年，一心想带兵收复北方，朝廷却总把他调来调去，不给他重用。词里写春天留不住、美人被人嫉妒，其实是借这些说自己的心事。宋人罗大经的《鹤林玉露》记载，据说宋孝宗读了这首词，很不高兴。

The poet作者

Xin Qiji (1140–1207), also called Jiaxuan, was a great lyric poet of the Southern Song. He was born in the north, which was ruled by the Jin state. In his early twenties he led men to fight the Jin, then came south to the Song. All his life he wanted to win back the lost land, but he was often pushed aside or dismissed. Most of his lyrics are bold and strong. This one is soft and indirect: he hides his anger inside a story of spring and of a lonely beauty.

辛弃疾（1140—1207），号稼轩，南宋大词人。他生在被金国占领的北方，二十出头就带人起兵抗金，后来回到南宋。他一辈子想收复失地，却多次被冷落、罢官。他的词大多豪迈有力，这首却写得柔婉含蓄，把满腔的不平藏在惜春和美人的故事里。

The mood意境

The first stanza is about spring leaving. The poet asks: how many more storms can it bear? Then he begs spring to stay, saying the grass has already blocked its road home. Spring pays no attention. Only the spider's web under the eaves catches willow fluff all day, as if it too wants to keep spring. This tiny picture is sweet and sad at once. The second stanza turns to the story of Empress Chen. A beauty is envied, and even a fine piece of writing bought with gold cannot carry her feelings to anyone. Then the poet tells the proud ones: don't be glad too soon; Yang Yuhuan and Zhao Feiyan are dust now. At the end he does not name his sorrow. He only says: don't climb the tower, for the setting sun is on the misty willows. The sorrow stays in that evening light. Every line seems to be about spring or a beauty, but really it is about his own pain at having no way to serve his country.

上阕写春天要走了。词人先问：还经得起几番风雨？再求春天留一留，说芳草已经挡住了你回去的路。春天不理他，只有屋檐下的蜘蛛网，整天粘着柳絮，好像也想留住春天。这个小小的画面又可爱又心酸。下阕换成了陈皇后的故事：美人被人嫉妒，花千金买来好文章也没人听她诉说。接着词人对那些得意的人说：别高兴得太早，杨玉环、赵飞燕都成了尘土。最后不直接说愁，只说别去高楼远望，夕阳正照着烟雾里的柳树。愁就留在这片暮色里。整首词句句写春、写美人，其实句句写自己报国无门的苦闷。
