Background创作背景

This lyric is about sorrow in autumn. The poet sees autumn rain, cold cicadas and long nights, and feels himself growing old. He remembers the place where he was happy with the woman he loved; now it is covered in moss and spider webs. In the second stanza he imagines her crying in the wind, while he, far from home, gets by on poems and wine and receives no letters. We do not know the year it was written or who the woman was.

这首词写秋天的愁思。词人看到秋雨、寒蝉、长夜，想到自己渐渐老去，又想起当年和心爱的女子欢聚的地方，如今已经长满青苔、结满蛛网。下阕想象她在风中流泪，自己在异乡只能靠诗酒打发日子，连书信也收不到。具体写于哪一年，那位女子是谁，现在都不清楚。

The poet作者

Shi Dazu, also called Bangqing or Meixi, came from Bian, today's Kaifeng in Henan. He was a Southern Song lyric poet; his birth and death years are not known. He never passed the top state exam and later worked as a secretary for the powerful minister Han Tuozhou. When Han was killed, Shi was punished and sent into exile, and his last years were unhappy. His lyrics describe things in fine detail, and fading autumn scenes are often tied to his own disappointment.

史达祖，字邦卿，号梅溪，汴（今河南开封）人，南宋词人，生卒年不详。他没考中进士，后来在权臣韩侂胄手下做文书。韩侂胄被杀后，他受牵连被流放，晚年很不得意。他的词描写细致，善于写景物，秋天的衰败景象常和他自己的失意连在一起。

The mood意境

The first stanza starts with autumn: the evening rain has not yet knocked down the leaves, cold cicadas still cling to the few that are left, the days shorten and the nights lengthen. The poet puts himself into autumn: his dreaming soul cannot bear it, he grows old, and even wind and moon turn cold. He remembers their happy times, but all he sees is moss and spider webs. The contrast between then and now is heartbreaking. The second stanza opens with "for no reason", as if he were complaining: why must the mole crickets call just now? Then he uses autumn things, the put-away fan and the bitter lotus, to picture his sorrow. The view moves to her far away, standing in the wind with tears on her face. He himself forces his spirits up in a strange place, and the geese bring no news. The last question, "who keeps her company", shows his care for her and also his own loneliness. Autumn sounds and colours fill the whole lyric, and the sadness deepens layer by layer.

上阕从秋景写起：晚雨还没打落树叶，稀疏的叶子上还趴着寒蝉，白天越来越短，夜越来越长。词人把自己写进秋天：梦魂受不住，人慢慢变老，连风和月都冷了。他想起当年的欢会，眼前却只有青苔和蛛网，热闹和冷落对比，叫人心酸。下阕一开头用“无端”两字，好像在抱怨：蝼蛄为什么偏偏这时叫？接着用团扇、秋莲这些秋天的东西比喻愁苦。然后镜头转到远方的她，挂着泪站在风中。词人自己在异乡强打精神，大雁飞过也带不来消息。最后一问“谁伴婵娟”，既是心疼她，也是在说自己的孤单。整首词处处是秋声秋色，愁意一层比一层深。
