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 gives only the tune name; the common text adds the subtitle An Autumn Scene. In the last line the corpus uses an older way of writing the final character; this page uses the modern form. Some editions write màn in line twelve with a different character of the same meaning.

语料库题目只有词牌名，通行本题作《千秋岁引·秋景》。最后一句语料库作“思量著”，“著”是“着”的旧写法，这里写作“着”。“漫留”有的本子作“谩留”，意思相同。

How to read it读音

角jiǎo: Huà jiǎo is a painted army horn, so this character is read jiǎo.画角是古代军中吹的号角，“角”读 jiǎo。
担dān: Dān gé is the same word as dān ge today, meaning to hold up or delay. The first character is read dān.“担阁”就是“耽搁”，耽误的意思，“担”读 dān。
量liang: Sī liang means to think something over. In speech today the second syllable is light and toneless; it can also be read sī liáng.“思量”是想、反复考虑，现在口语读 sī liang，“量”读轻声；读书时也可以读 sī liáng。
着zhe: Today this character is read zhe with no tone. The poem rhymes on old clipped-tone words, and in old times this word was one of them; some readers say zhuó here.“着”现在读轻声 zhe。这首词押“落、廓、昨、缚、阁、却、约”等入声字的韵，古时这里读入声，有人朗读时读 zhuó。

Background创作背景

This lyric uses an autumn scene to show how tired the poet is of chasing fame and gain, and how much he longs to be free. Wang Anshi spent most of his life busy with government. In his later years he gave up his post as chief minister and retired to Jiangning, today's Nanjing. The lyric is usually thought to be a late work, but no one can say for sure which year it was written. Its images of the Chu terrace wind, Yu's tower moon, the words on the pillar and the date in the Qin tower all come from old stories.

这首词借秋天的景色，写对名利生活的厌倦和对自由的向往。王安石一生大部分时间忙于政事，晚年辞去宰相，退居江宁（今江苏南京）。一般认为这首词是他晚年的作品，但具体写于哪一年，现在说不准。词里的“楚台风”“庾楼月”“华表语”“秦楼约”都是古代的典故。

The poet作者

Wang Anshi (1021–1086), also called Jiefu or Banshan, came from Linchuan in Fuzhou, today's Jiangxi. He was a famous statesman and writer of the Northern Song, one of the Eight Great Prose Masters of Tang and Song. As chief minister he led the well-known reforms meant to make the country rich and strong, but many people opposed him. He did not write many lyrics, but several are fresh and deep. This one shows how tired a great man felt inside.

王安石（1021—1086），字介甫，号半山，抚州临川（今江西抚州）人，北宋著名的政治家和文学家，“唐宋八大家”之一。他当过宰相，主持了有名的“变法”，想让国家变得富强，但遭到很多人反对。他的词写得不多，却常有清新深沉的好作品，这首词就写出了一个大人物心里的疲惫。

The mood意境

The first stanza paints autumn with sounds and pictures. There is the pounding of cloth, the call of the horn, a whole sky of autumn sounds. The swallows leave and the geese arrive, one going and one coming, so we feel the season changing and time moving on. Then he remembers the wind on the Chu terrace and the moon over Yu's tower, the happy, carefree days that seem like yesterday. In the second stanza he says nothing can be done, twice in a row, and speaks his heart. Fame and gain tie him down. Feelings hold him back. A good life has gone to waste. He once promised to leave the busy world, yet now he has even missed his date with the one he loves. The last three short lines slow right down: when the dream ends, when the wine wears off, he keeps thinking. It is like someone waking in the night and lying there alone, thinking. His regret feels very real.

上片写秋景，全靠声音和画面：捣衣声、号角声，一片秋声飘向天空；燕子飞走，大雁落下，一去一来，让人感到季节在变，时间在走。接着想起楚台的风、庾楼的月，那些潇洒快乐的日子，好像就在昨天。下片连用两个“无奈”，一下子说出心里话：被名利捆着，被感情拖着，美好的生活都荒废了。当初说要远离尘世，如今却连和心上人的约会也误了。最后三个短句“梦阑时，酒醒后，思量着”，节奏慢下来，像一个人半夜醒来，一个人静静地想。这份后悔和无奈，读起来很真实。
