Background创作背景

This ci is about returning to an old place and missing someone. The poet once rode his horse to a house south of a street and lingered there, where someone he loved lived. Later he comes back. The flowers are still there and so is the screen, but she is gone. The last line borrows the idea of the Tang poet Cui Hu's line, "where has that face gone?" The ci does not say when it was written or whom he missed, and we cannot tell now.

这首词写的是重回旧地、怀念旧人。作者曾经在一条街南的人家门前骑马停留，那里住着他喜欢的人。后来他再来，花还在，屏风还在，人却不见了。最后一句借用了唐代崔护“人面不知何处去”的诗意。具体写于何时、怀念的是谁，词里没有说，现在也无法确定。

The poet作者

Yan Jidao (about 1038 – about 1110), also called Xiaoshan, was the youngest son of Yan Shu, a chief minister and famous ci poet, so people called him Little Yan. His family later declined, and he held only small posts all his life. He was proud and aloof. His collection, Xiaoshan Ci, is full of memories and longing, in clear, lovely words and with deep feeling.

晏几道（约1038—约1110），字叔原，号小山，是宰相词人晏殊的小儿子，人称“小晏”。他家后来衰落，他本人一直只做小官，性格清高孤傲。他的词集叫《小山词》，多写回忆和相思，语言清丽，感情真挚。

The mood意境

The first stanza is a spring street. The green trees south of the street shed so many catkins that they cover the spring paths like snow. Blossoms glow on the treetops, mixed with bright clouds, and below the trees stands a house with red gates. He idly climbs the north tower, rolls up the blinds, and sees those trees across the street at once. The second stanza turns to memory. He leans on the railing for a long time and still does not want to go. He cannot tell how many rainy dusks have passed like this. He recalls riding his horse over green moss one late spring, and stopping deep in the shade. Now the fallen flowers are still there, and the fragrant screen stands closed and empty, but where is she? The scene is the same and the person is gone. Under the quiet words lies a deep sense of loss.

上片是春天的街景。街南的绿树飘着很多柳絮，像雪一样铺满了游春的路。树梢花开得艳，和彩云混在一起；树下是朱红大门的人家。他悠闲地登上北楼，卷起帘子，一眼就看见街南那些树。下片转向回忆：他靠着栏杆站了很久，还是不想走，不知道这样已经过了几个下雨的黄昏。他想起晚春时曾骑着马踏过青苔，在浓浓的树荫下停留。现在落花还在，香屏风空空地掩着，那个人却不知道去了哪里。景物依旧，人已不在，淡淡的句子里藏着很深的怅惘。
