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 names the tune Zhu Ying Tai Ling; the common text calls it Zhu Ying Tai Jin, two names for the same tune, with the subtitle Late Spring. In three places the corpus has slightly different words (the date in her heart, sobbing, taking the sorrow home); this page follows the common text: the day of his return, choking, and carrying the sorrow away. Editions of this lyric differ a good deal; for example, line eight is sometimes worded as "who will persuade the crying orioles to stop".

语料库词牌作《祝英台令》，通行本作《祝英台近》，是同一个词牌的两个名字，题目是“晚春”。语料库“花卜心期”“呜咽梦中语”“将愁归去”，通行本多作“花卜归期”“哽咽梦中语”“带将愁去”，这里按通行本。这首词各本文字出入较多，比如“倩谁唤、流莺声住”有的本子作“更谁劝、啼莺声住”。

Background创作背景

This lyric speaks in the voice of a woman who misses her far-away love in late spring. The wind and rain do not stop, and petals fly everywhere. She longs for him to come back and even cries in her dreams. Xin Qiji mostly wrote bold, patriotic lyrics, but this one is soft and delicate. Some readers think it hides another meaning, using the woman's sorrow to show his worry about the country, but that is only one view. When it was written is not known.

这首词用一位女子的口气，写她在晚春时节思念远方的爱人。风雨不停，花瓣乱飞，她盼着爱人回来，连做梦都在哭。辛弃疾大多写豪迈的爱国词，这首却写得婉转细腻。有人认为词里另有寄托，借女子的愁表达自己对国事的忧虑，但这只是一种说法。写作时间不详。

The poet作者

Xin Qiji (1140–1207), also called Jiaxuan, came from Licheng, today's Jinan in Shandong. He was one of the most famous lyric poets of the Southern Song, often paired with Su Shi. As a young man he raised troops in the north to fight the Jin invaders, then came south. All his life he hoped to win back the lost land, but he was often given no real power. Most of his lyrics are bold and fiery, yet he could also write tender, delicate pieces like this one.

辛弃疾（1140—1207），字幼安，号稼轩，历城（今山东济南）人，南宋最有名的词人之一，和苏轼并称“苏辛”。他年轻时在北方起兵抗金，后来南归，一生想收复失地，却常常不被重用。他的词大多豪放激昂，但也能写这样温柔细腻的作品。

The mood意境

The first stanza is about the sorrow after parting. The split hairpin, the ferry and the misty willows are all pictures of saying goodbye. She dares not climb the tower to look far off, because every day brings wind and rain. Petals cover the ground and no one stops them, and the orioles keep singing, which only makes it worse. The second stanza has a lovely little action. She takes the flower from her hair and counts the petals one by one to work out when he will return. She pins it back, but cannot quite believe it, so she takes it down and counts again. This detail makes her longing feel alive. At night, under the dim lamp, she sobs in her dream and blames spring: you brought the sorrow, so why didn't you take it with you when you left? It sounds a little childish, but it is exactly what she truly feels.

上片写分别后的愁。分钗、渡口、烟柳，都是离别的画面。她不敢上楼远望，因为天天风雨，花落了一地，没人管，黄莺还叫个不停，更让人心烦。下片写一个很可爱的小动作：她拿下鬓边的花，一瓣一瓣地数，想算出爱人哪天回来；刚插回去，又不放心，拿下来再数一遍。这个细节把盼望写得活灵活现。夜里灯光昏暗，她在梦里哽咽着埋怨春天：是你把愁带来的，你走了，怎么不把愁也带走呢？这句话说得有点孩子气，却正是真心话。
