Background创作背景

This lyric shows a night near the end of spring, around Qingming. The year and place it was written are no longer known. Zhang Xian was famous for writing about shadows and was nicknamed Three-Shadow Zhang. The line about a swing's shadow coming over the wall is another of his famous shadow lines. In old times, young women often played on swings around Qingming, so the shadow makes one think of the girl who swung there.

这首词写春天将尽、清明前后的一个夜晚。写作的具体年份和地点已经说不清了。张先擅长写“影”，有人称他“张三影”，这首词里“隔墙送过秋千影”也是写影的名句。秋千是古代女子在清明前后常玩的，墙那边的秋千影，让人想起荡秋千的人。

The poet作者

Zhang Xian (990–1078) was a Northern Song lyric poet who lived into his late eighties. He lived around the same time as Liu Yong. His lyrics paint scenes in fine detail, and he was especially good at shadows. Because of three famous lines about shadows, people called him Three-Shadow Zhang.

张先（990—1078），字子野，北宋词人，活到八十多岁。他和柳永差不多同时，写过很多慢词。他的词写景细腻，特别会写影子，因为“云破月来花弄影”等三句写影的名句，被人叫作“张三影”。

The mood意境

The poet writes a spring sadness that is hard to name. The weather is warm then cold, the rain stops only at evening, and the courtyard is empty. He gets drunk facing the fading flowers and knows this is last year's sickness again; every late spring it is the same. The second half is at night. The wind carries a horn's call, he wakes, and all around is silence. The last two lines are the finest. The bright moon sends the swing's shadow over the wall. The swing is still there, but where is the girl who swung on it? The poet never says whom he misses. He shows only a shadow, and all his longing and loneliness are inside it.

词人写的是一种说不清的春愁。天气忽冷忽热，风雨到晚上才停，院子里空空的。他对着残花喝醉，心里明白：这又是去年的老毛病，每年春末都这样。下片写夜里：风把号角声吹来，他醒了，四周一片安静。最后两句最妙：明月偏偏把墙那边秋千的影子送过来。秋千还在，荡秋千的人在哪里？词人没说想谁，只写一个影子，那份思念和寂寞就都在影子里了。
