How to interpret Su Shi's Two Pears on an Autumn Night (I)?

In the first frost, the red pears ripened, and the weak branches could hardly bear the heavy fruit.

I really want to eat before eating. When the pears are ripe, the ice and snow in spring will melt.

Su Shi's interpretation of the word "pear":

First frost: It is one of the 24 solar terms. Every year around 65438+1October 23rd in Gregorian calendar, the first frost solar term means that the weather is getting colder and the first frost appears. It is the last solar term in autumn, which also means that winter is about to begin.

Jouke: refers to a weak branch.

Spring ice: Spring ice. Because it is thin and easy to crack, it refers to a dangerous situation or something that easily disappears.

Su Shi has made extraordinary achievements in the creation of ci. As far as the development of a style itself is concerned, the historical contribution of Su Ci has surpassed that of Su Wen and Su Shi. After Liu Yong, Su Shi carried out a comprehensive reform of ci style, and finally broke through the traditional pattern of "Ke Yan", improved the literary status of ci, changed ci from an accessory of music to an independent lyric style, and fundamentally changed the development direction of ci history.

The transformation of Su Shi's ci is based on his concept of ci and his creative idea of "being unique".

Ci has been regarded as "Tao" since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. Liu Yong devoted his life to the creation of ci, which promoted the development of ci style, but failed to improve the literary status of ci. This task needs Su Shi to complete. Su Shi first broke the concept that poetry is superior to ci in theory. He believes that poetry is homologous, and the word "is the seedling of poetry". Although there are external differences between poems and words, their artistic essence and expressive function should be the same. So he often compares poetry with poetry. Because he raised the word to the same position as the poem from the stylistic concept, it provided a theoretical basis for the word to move closer to the poetic style and realize the mutual exchange and infiltration between the word and the poem.

In order to make the aesthetic taste of ci really keep pace with poetry, Su Shi also put forward the creative proposition that ci should be "one family". The theory of "being a family" here is put forward according to the different "lasting appeal" of Liu Yong's ci, and its connotation includes: pursuing magnificent style and broad artistic conception, ci should conform to people's quality, and ci should express its true temperament and unique life feelings like writing poems. Because only in this way can we "write like a man" in the creation of Ci (Answer to Zhang Wenqian's immortal book). Su Shi always pays equal attention to integrity in his articles, but he opposes conformity in literature, so he is not satisfied with Qin Guan's "learning Liu Qi's words" and lacks "integrity".

Expanding the expressive function of ci and opening up the realm of poetry is the main direction of Su Shi's ci style reform. He extended the traditional expression of women's gentleness to the expression of men's pride, and extended the traditional expression of love to the expression of temperament, so that words can fully express the author's temperament embrace and personality like poetry. Su Shi let ambitious people full of enterprising spirit, lofty ideals and passion into the world of ci, changed the original feminine artistic conception of ci, and set a precedent for new poets in the Southern Song Dynasty.
