While Huang Tingjian and Chao Buzhi of Sumen continued to move forward in the direction pointed out by Su Shi, Geng Jie's arrogant Yan Jidao still followed the tradition of "Flowers" inherited by his father Yan Shu, sticking to the position of Xiaoling, writing about the joys and sorrows of men and women that made people feel reverberating. However, Yan Jidao's words do not repeat the realm of "between flowers", but create a new world of art
The romances written by the poets of the Five Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty are often generalized romances without specific love objects, while the romances written by Yan Jidao "Xiaoshan Ci".has a clear and specific object of affection, mainly to express the joys and sorrows between him and his friends Uncle Shen Lian and Chen Junlong's four singers, Lian, Hong, Apple, and Yun. He often directly wrote the names of the singers he was in love with.
Xiaoshan has a definite object of affection in the words, and the emotions are also very sincere。Yan Jidao is persistent and infatuated, even if the four singers are in the world, knowing that they can't see each other again, he still loves each other deeply. It is not to show the joy of having love, but to recall the lost love of the past and show the unforgettable lovesickness, andTreat love as a purely spiritual pursuit, which has become a major feature of Yan's several love words.
The unswerving pursuit of love is almost the main spiritual sustenance of Yan Jidao's life。On the one hand, he uses the pursuit of love to establish an aesthetic emotional world that is completely different from real life, so as to dissolve the loneliness and depression that cannot be shaken off in real lifeOn the other hand, he twists and turns his bitter life experience in the joys and sorrows between men and women and the frustration and depression of women, so that he can vomit happily and not be offended.
Due to the parting with the four singers and girls who were in love, Lian, Hong, Apple, and Yun, they had no chance to see each other, and Yan was often the sameConstruct dreams to relive the sweetness of past love。Of his 260 poems, 52 poems and 59 verses are written about "dreams." He is either pursuing in dreams, or meeting in dreams, or dreaming with each other, his dreams include "spring dreams", "autumn dreams", "return dreams", "dreams the day before yesterday", "dreams tonight" and so on.
The colorful and dreamlike artistic realm is the distinctive feature of Xiaoshan words, and the light and deep language is the style characteristic of Xiaoshan words. He is good at using plain language and common scenery to express unusual affection. Light language can express deep affection, often thanks to the syntax of "hovering outside the word, spitting in the sentence" through a layer of syntax. The words are short and long, and the affection is deep.
In the late Northern Song Dynasty, in addition to Liu Yong and Su Shici, "Between the Flowers" is also an artistic model for lyricists to follow their steps, and Li Zhiyi and his friend Wu Sidao and other lyrics are based on "The Collection of Flowers" as the criterion. Yan Jidao is even more "chasing "Between Flowers", high or over". His words are glamorous and vulgar, and they are both deep in the shallow, and from the two levels of linguistic precision and emotional depth, he has pushed the art of glamorous words since "Between the Flowers" to the extreme。In addition to Zongliu Xuesu, he was unique and added a strange style to the poetry of the late Northern Song Dynasty. Feng Xu, a Qing man, said that Xiaoshan words "have flavor in light language, and have flavor in light language, and they are rare to ask for two Song words." This unique artistic courage also won the love of many poets at that time, so that the group rose up and composed, becoming a rare landscape in the history of the two Song Dynasty.
