《行径华阴》崔颢

《行径华阴》or Passing by Huayin, by Cui Hao (?-754) 岧峣太华俯咸京，天外三峰削不成。武帝祠前云欲散，仙人掌上雨初晴。河山北枕秦关险，驿路西连汉畤平。借问路旁名利客，何如此地学长生。 Tiáo yáo tài huà fǔ xián jīng,tiān wài sān fēng xuē bù chéng.

沁园春 阅兵

帝都风光， 千里兵封， 万里保镖。 望都城内外， 层层安检； 大街小巷， 制服飘飘。 鸽子进笼， 航模登记， 欲让小鸟窝里猫。 过天桥， 看民兵红旗， 份外妖娆。 安保如此多招， 令街道大妈累折腰。 惜磨刀老汉， 全都失业； 物流快递， 生意寥寥。 一代天骄， 成吉思汗， 只能携带指甲刀！ 俱往矣， 数阅兵人物， 还看习包！

I have some new co-translations of Li Qingzhao's poetry out in Glyphoria, a publication created by Metatron.

Living in the Song dynasty, Li Qingzhao was China's most celebrated female poet. The poem I translated is my favourite poem of hers and touches on female friendship and sisterhood.

将进酒

[唐] 李白

君不见黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回。

君不见高堂明镜悲白发，朝如青丝暮成雪。

人生得意须尽欢，莫使金樽空对月。

天生我材必有用，千金散尽还复来。

烹羊宰牛且为乐，会须一饮三百杯。

岑夫子，丹丘生，将进酒，杯莫停。

与君歌一曲，请君为我倾耳听。

钟鼓馔玉不足贵，但愿长醉不愿醒。

古来圣贤皆寂寞，惟有饮者留其名。

陈王昔时宴平乐，斗酒十千恣欢谑。

主人何为言少钱，径须沽取对君酌。

五花马、千金裘，呼儿将出换美酒，与尔同销万古愁。

#长安三万里 里面有这首诗 #感觉应该是唱的歌词，有节奏感 #不过也已经快一千三百年了，不知道配的应该是什么样的乐

欧阳修诗词赏析

蝶恋花•庭院深深深几许 庭院深深深几许，杨柳堆烟，帘幕无重数。玉勒雕鞍游冶处，楼高不见章台路。雨横风狂三月暮，门掩黄昏，无计留春住。泪眼问花花不语，乱红飞过秋千去。 译文：庭院深深，不知有多深？杨柳依依，飞扬起片片烟雾，一重重帘幕不知有多少层。豪华的车马停在贵族公子寻欢作乐的地方，登上高楼也望不见通向章台的大路。风狂雨骤的暮春三月，再是重门将黄昏景色掩闭，也无法留住春意。泪眼汪汪问落花可知道我的心意，落花默默不语，纷乱的，零零落落一点一点飞到秋千外。 赏析：  …

Hello! Something I had a really hard time finding and reasearching was bothering me, so I'm sorry if you've already answered something similar to this!

Do you know why there were these lipstick papers that people would bite down on after they did that part of their makeup?

Hi! No I haven't answered something like this.

I think the "biting lipstick papers" are common on TV is because they looked cool, since it seemed like directly biting doesn't really work in real life.

Cui Bao (崔豹) of the Jin Dynasty (about 1700 years ago) recorded in his work "Ancient and Modern Notes" (《古今注》) that yanzhi (rouge) can be made into thin pieces (“燕支，又小薄为花片，又名金花燕支，特宜妆色。”). However, cream-type yanzhi has become more popular and people would use those if they can afford it, since it is easier to use.

I also came across a comment of weibo that said that they had got into their grandmother's lipstick papers when they was a child, so perhaps lipstick papers still existed in certain areas (naturally) until very recently.

A Rec and Appreciation post for a Bilibili FMV I found for The Spirealm :)

IMPORTANT: Contains spoilers for all the way through to the show! You've been warned!

Link to the edit: You don't need an account to watch things on Bilibili, but if you do, remember to give it a thumbs up! 💕

The song used and will be discussed by me in relation to the clips of the drama used in the fmv is 人间不值得 (The Human Realm is Not Worth It) by 黄诗扶 (Huáng Shīfú).

Disclaimer: 1. I'm not Chinese by any means, I only happen to be a student who loves this song very very much for its nuances and symbolism and it always makes me so happy to see a fandom I like has gotten an edit to this song. This post is an attempt to get more like-minded people to appreciate it! All the translations are from here where you can read even deeper to the lyrics and learn the background of the song. 2. I will be posting screenshots from the edit that correspond significantly to the song lyrics for those who'd like some help with noticing the parallels. Again, and obviously, this means SPOILERS! Don't proceed if you don't want to be spoiled. I won't be sharing gifs nor clips from the edit because that'd be straight up reposting and I don't want to do that, and a single screenshot may not be sufficient for you to understand what's happening in the scene unless you've seen the show/fmv.

Without further ado!

.

渡口爱上深山, 薄雪中意晚莲 -A Crossing Ferry falls for Deep Mountain, Thin Layer of Snow likes Evening Lotus

A ferry transportation wouldn't be done in an area with deep mountains, it requires a flat and calm body of water. Lotuses don't bloom in the snow-falling season. Aka this means two things that are star-crossed. Hence: 🥲

夕阳熬红双眼 想等来晨钟聊聊天- Setting sun waits till its eyes turned red, hoping it can chat with morning bell Again, the setting sun cannot meet the morning bell. The vidder has used a scene of Ruan Lanzhu sitting with his eyes closed on a bench, waiting for Jiushi- it's not that specific so I'm not including a screenshot.

心上人在梅边柳边 偏不在身边- Person on heart is by plum or willow, but not by (the person singing the song)

A Hongloumeng reference to say that your beloved is not by you but elsewhere, see the link above for more details. -A scene of Jiushi patting Lanzhu's shoulder and going away for a door challenge while Lanzhu stands agonized-

小白蛇浇透临安 许仙却没带伞- Little white snake is drenched in the rain of Lin An, but Xu Xian forgets to bring an umbrella

From the legend of White Snake and Xu Xian, they meet on a rainy day and Xu Xian gives White Snake an umbrella. Here, the lyrics say he forgot aka things didn't happen the way they should've.

-The clip chosen for this line is more happy because they both got to use the umbrella hehe-

少女压坏秋千 书生十年落选- Young girl crushes the swing, scholar fails at exams for ten years

A little girl on a swing and a scholar who passes the exams are nice things to imagine, but the lyrics say the contrary happened. The edit shows scenes from the case of the bullied school girl and the classmate who betrayed her, who both had their youths ruined. :(

命运总是挑挑拣拣 诸事不成全- Fate is always picky and things just can’t be fulfilled

-Scenes from the first case (snow village), not using screenshots because the line itself isn't very specifc and therefore neither is the scene-

小和尚没化到缘 又路过烧鸭店- Little monk doesn’t get offerings, then happens to walk by a roasted duck shop

Describes a situation where your life sucks and then some more.

-The scene of the little beggar fainting from the Child trafficking case put in contradiction with the scene of Jiushi enjoying skewers with Xiong Qi.-

The chorus:

拈杯酒眯着眼 说专心看人间- Pinching a cup of wine and squinting eyes, saying (I/you/whoever) is looking at the human real with full concentration

The song is advising you to take a cup of wine, let go and just observe the world around you. Scenes of Lanzhu and Jiushi having swigs/sips of drinks is followed by them happily gazing up at New Year fireworks. It's pretty self explanatory.

看长安建安与潘安 都想沾一沾- (seeing) Chang’an Jian An and Pan’An, wanting to touch them all

Chang'an was an ancient Chinese capital, Jian'an was a literaty gathering, Pan'an was a historical man who was famous for his beauty and loyalty to his wife (the character Liu Xueyi's was modelled upon for the recently aired drama In Blossoms🤭) aka these three things are unrelated except for rhyming. So it's basically like saying "You want this, you want that too" and to just chill and embrace it all; your mortal desires and sorrows.

The scenes used are from the night street celebrations from the Child trafficking case, and are not specific to the line except for that the aesthetics match that of Chang'an night scenary in Tang dynasty period dramas. (And maybe Jiushi staring at Li Dongyuan's handsome face refers to the Pan'an part heh)

神仙掐指算 此去少圆满- Gods making predictions, this trip shall lead to little fulfillment 得来失 聚了散 千万莫求全- Losing what has been found, parting after reunion, don’t try to aim for perfection at all

Means that sometimes gains and loses just cannot be helped.

-Scenes of Li Dongyuan's last moments- 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

借泥炉烧碗饭 在檐上种炊烟- Borrowing earth stove to make meal, planting cooking smoke on the top of the eave

-cooking scenes from the show, self-explanotory-

管小寒大寒与心寒 都来暖一暖- No matter if it’s Small Cold, Big Cold, Or heart cold, all come over and warm up

Xiao Han and Da Han are two of the wintry solar terms of traditional Chinese calendar. Heart Cold is; well, having lost hope and being unhappy. The song tells you to get together and warm yourself up whether your coldness is external or internal.

好提胆闯人海 再叩风月关- So that you can build up the courage and venture into the crowd, knocking on the door of profanity (of life) Now this line may look simple but is really iconic to the show. It means to build up your guts [lit:gallbladder] (through the power of the warmth from forming bonds as mentioned above), so you can go out and enjoy all the beautiful romantic things in life, and bravely knock on the doors (HA) of each levels of life as you go. The scenes used are Lanzhu and Jiushi marching into door challenges, them sitting and enjoying quiet moments together, and DOORS. Bejeezus...

兜兜转转八十一难 我们走着看- Around and around through 81 tribulations, we shall see how it goes Another cleverly utilized line. 81 tribulations are what the main characters underwent in Journey to the West in order to bring the Buddhist texts, and if you've finished Spirealm, you know the 12 doors are inspired by the 12 links in the Law of Dependent Origin of Buddhist philosophy. In simpler words, the 12 links are the reasons for your mundane sorrows, longings and confusion, and 81 tribulations are the hardships you undergo because of them. The core scene used is Jiushi completing the 12 doors of the game, followed by the friend gang badass-strutting into the case scenes, fitting for the part "let's see how it goes".

竹马去寻竹马 青梅意兴阑珊- Bamboo horse goes searching for bamboo horse, blue plum feels discouraged

Now this is my FAVORITE line 😆 I always love to see what the vidders do with this part when this song is used on a BL edit. This comes from the famous poem line, “郎骑竹马来，绕床弄青梅”:” boy comes on a bamboo horse, circling around the bed and playing with plum branch”. It refers to boys and girls who are meant to be each others' since childhood. But sometimes, the bamboo horse (boy) doesn't go for a blue plum (girl), and will seek another bamboo horse instead, yeah? The scenes chosen are first Lanzhu and Jiushi, chased after by Li Dongyuan, leaving behind the exasperated Zhuang Rujiao 😂 Our poor lil blue plum!

伯牙琴弦摔断 叔夜刚绝交山巨源- Bo Ya breaks the string on his Qin, Shu Ye breaks off from Shan Juyuan

This line is about two legendary friendships, in the first pairing Bo Ya broke his Qin after his friend's death because nobody could appreciate his playing better than his friend, and the latter pairing broke up because of diff ideals.

The scenes used are when Jiushi and his ex bff used to be together, and broke up later.

知己半路就散 结发总另结新欢- Good friends part half-way, spouses marry someone else

-Yixie crying holding Qianli, the nurse whose lover betrayed her in the sanatorium arc-

小情侣恰好遇见 喜鹊没来上班- Young couples who happen to meet when the magpies are not on duty

Refers to the Chinese fairytale Magpie Bridge where magpies helped the couple meet once every year, and without magpies they wouldn't get even that chance.

The scenes used are: 🥺

长生岂能如愿 古稀尚靠垂怜- How can longevity be fulfilled, it depends on heaven’s mercy to live to one’s 70s

Jeebus, have I mentioned this vidder is a GENIUS? The corresponding scene used is the big baddie of the show standing tall and playing almighty, and the happiness of our good guys is at his mercy, followed by the scene of 50 Years Later HUHU

老病倒比莺莺燕燕 多陪二十年- The Old and the sick somehow gets 20 more years than the happy young couple

LOL the vidder knows how to be a troll, too. As the song says "Old and sick gets to live", Chen Fei and the lady friend (I don't even rem her name) who couldn't have been more background charactery if they tried, and they got to move onwards with their lives in peace while "happy, young" Zaozao and Dongyuan didn't 😔

小嫦娥偷吃灵药 却反而羡人间- Chang’e takes magical elixir, yet feels jealous of the human realm

The moon goddess, who enjoys longevity but is full of regrets about the life she left behind.

-Zaozao, who is finally under the spotlight she always deserved, but... *bawls harder*

The chorus from before repeats, that tells you to have a drink, chill and look at this world, not care so much about this and that, to not push yourself too hard because it isn't worth it, have a meal with your loved ones to chase away the cold instead, build up the courage to endure the beauty and challenges (DOORS) of the life.

Complimentary scenes follow:

人生在世不称意呀 失眠或失恋- Living in this realm is often unsatisfying, losing sleep or losing love

-For "unsatisfying" part, past-and-present scenes of the son and mother from the Triplet case, for "Losing Sleep" part Lanzhu staring at sleeping Jiushi on the same bed and then the chocolate scene, the younger sister's confession being rejected in the Sister Drum case and the Lady in the Rain for "Losing Love" part.-

只劝你来把个盏 侃呀么侃大山- (I) suggest you drink (the wine) up, then have a nice long chat

-The scene where Lanzhu wordlessly empties the can after Dongyuan's incident, followed by memories of when they were eating and chatting together, and also those of Qianli's 🤧

The final part:

喝完大酒撑条船 说今生不靠岸- After a big drink go ride on a boat, saying never to dock till the end of this life 去天涯海角浪个遍 失意当尝鲜 -To the edge of the horizon and corners of the sea, taking disappointment as fresh experiences

-Scenes of Lanzhu and Jiushi together, braving the challenges-

这一路手握剑 身侧有千帆- Holding a sword on the way, with thousands of sails passing by

-The girl from the school bullying case, now grown bright and confident, wielding a sword (that was SUCH a great moment! You go, darling!), followed by the now-regretless Door Ghosts smiling happily in the last episode.-

时不时 回头看看 百味是人间- From time to time, turn around and look, hundreds of tastes makes up the human realm

-Lanzhu looking back at Jiushi for one last time, Jiushi looking back before entering a door- *sniffles

Followed by happy montages of all their friends, and Chestnut.

时不时 也睡个懒觉 醒来多加餐- From time to time, sleep in, and eat an extra meal when (you) wake up

-A scene of Lanzhu tucked in cozily, Jiushi stretching awake from a sleep, well into daytime, and for the "Extra Meal" part, that giant drumstick platter Lanzhu and Rujiao made Dongyuan get for them 😁.-

.

AAAnd DONE! Phew, that gotta be one of the longest posts I've made in one sitting. If you are still here, thank you so much for your patience and attention, I hope you enjoyed this brilliant fmv meta! Don't forget to give the vidder the love they much deserve, and read up the AveX link for more thorough understanding of the song itself.

Toodles for now!

《月下独酌》- 李白

Examining a poem from Li Bai -- one of the most famous poets of the Tang Dynasty and Chinese Poetry scene.

yuè xià dú zhuó – lǐ bái (唐 – táng) 花间一壶酒， 独酌无相亲。 举杯邀明月， 对影成三人。 月既不解饮， 影徒随我身。 暂伴月将影， 行乐须及春。 我歌月徘徊， 我舞影零乱。 醒时同交欢， 醉后各分散。 永结无情游， 相期邈云汉。 PINYIN：Yuè xià dú zhuó Huā jiān yì hú jiǔ, Dú zhuó wú xiāng qīn. Jǔ bēi yāo míng yuè, Duì yǐng chéng sān rén. Yuè jì bù jiě yǐn, Yǐng tú suí wǒ shēn. Zàn bàn yuè jiāng yǐng, Xíng lè xū jí chūn. Wǒ gē yuè pái huái, Wǒ wǔ yǐng líng luàn. Xǐng shí tóng jiāo…

最近在看15年出的穿越剧《太子妃升职记》，剧情其实是烂大街的霸道总裁爱上我，不过也算是BL剧的先驱了，毕竟女（男）主是穿越回古代娘娘身体里的现代男人哈哈 用大刘的话来说，那是个还没有被一轮轮铁拳降维打击过、尚还充满了乐趣的时代，所以才会有这种玩世不恭的沙雕剧存在。这剧放在现在一定播不出来，还会被扣上不中不西、不古不今、糟践传统文化、没有文化自信、传播不健康价值导向等等的高帽子。总之这剧五毒俱全这点我还是挺爱的， 比如：

古今元素大乱炖，太子妃以居委会妇女主任自居并动辄爆粗口

我老爹深恶痛绝、认为是侵占公共空间、体现文革一代人低素质没有个人精神生活的广场舞也出现了

这种把腊主席当神的台词非常中国特色™了，不过当今电视剧估计不敢这么调侃腊主席

还有这种因为尴到极致而好笑的小学生作文，竟然是皇家比赛的开场白

还有这种一本正经堂而皇之糟蹋古诗文给壮阳药做广告的， 只截取了一个片段，看得我笑喷了

这个虽然是无意为之但牛逼得惊心动魄，太监小哥竟然比了个六四（也即CCP最惧恨的日期没有之一）。。。放在现在这个监管环境下要是被人扒出来了，这剧不但得下架，整个制作公司都得被约谈

还有这种听来竟然有点感动的台词，彩虹旗可以飘起来了，三观还蛮正的哈哈

“说真的，”莱戈拉斯说，“我在密林见过许多的相思鸟，但却没见过哪一只是人类形状的，两只都是公的、长得这么大、那么长的相思鸟。看多了脏兮兮、臭烘烘的人形相思鸟们不分昼夜的腻歪在一起，勤快的互相摩擦胡茬，这对我的精灵视力很有影响——而且他们两只相思鸟都长了那么拉碴的胡子！”

当他强调“胡子”的时候，矮人金姆雳很不高兴地狠狠瞪了精灵一眼，重重地哼了一声。

“在我们矮人之中，成熟的妇女都有漂亮的胡子，她们会将之编成迷人的胡子发辫，并点缀上美丽的鲜花和名贵的宝石，没有哪个矮人会觉得这样不好！不像你们精灵，出门倒个垃圾前，都要先做个灯照美甲，光子嫩肤，涂完了面膜，再往身上喷满一百毫升的香水！”

“真的吗？你确定你形容的不是你的叔叔伯伯，而是那些可爱的矮人女士吗？”莱戈拉斯挑起一边眉毛，“而且，我亲爱的矮人老爷，你的美容知识，远超过我至今认识的所有精灵同伴们关于美容知识的存储量。”

正当矮人与精灵要继续辩论，团队中最年长的迈雅巫师适时地敲敲他的棍子，把烟斗从嘴里放下，拿在手中，缓缓吐出一个烟圈。“我的精灵老爷，我的矮人老爷，我们的话题要友好一些，和平，有爱——还有节制，这个话题说得太多，显然会对我们小团队的一些年纪尚轻的朋友们——产生不好的影响。”说着，巫师看了一眼坐在打开的包袱旁，每个人都吃了四块兰巴斯饼干的，四位年轻的霍比特族冒险者。

“这能给我们带来什么不好的影响呢？”大脚的年轻霍比特人皮聘抢答，“是指三更半夜的时候，我不小心听到的那些关于刚铎号角、或者关于纳熙尔圣剑的，不朽的传奇吗？”

大家伙儿都看着皮聘，他吊足了众人的好奇心，继续往下说：

“我听到阿拉贡不无赞叹地讲道，”年轻的霍比特人学着游侠的语气，绘声绘色地形容起来：

“Amazing！Amazing！波罗米尔！每当我吹响你这只美丽的白号，你的声音就比这号角的音色更华丽，更悦耳……然后我听到波罗米尔气急败坏地回应，住嘴！阿拉贡，你如果不抓紧时间，絮絮叨叨的超过三首长诗的标题加注脚，我就让你的纳熙尔圣剑彻底变成残破的遗物！又过了很久，我又听到波罗米尔问阿拉贡，他的声音虽然带着和十个强奥克战斗过后的气喘与虚弱，但听起来依然充满战士的骄傲，和有点儿掩藏不住的得意洋洋……”

他继而模仿起宰相长子的语气，模仿他那简洁而有力量的用词，“怎么了？阿拉贡，你看来是真的很喜欢我的刚铎号角，它让你的西方之焰名不虚传，一刻不停地冒着那么热情的白色焰火……阿拉贡懊恼的回嘴，是的，自然，这比闪耀着珍珠般光泽的白塔更欢迎我的到来，如果这是你对我由衷的认可，我愿意与你一起赤忱相待地在刚铎的塔楼上赞美这荣光……但当我好奇刚铎的白号和西方之焰的神奇，想加入他们伟大的夜谈时，我却连一个人影都看不到！直到我转来转去的，好像踢到了脚下有什么透明的东西，我又听到了阿拉贡和波罗米尔吸气的声音！这真是太奇怪了！”

所有人都陷入了短暂的奇怪沉默，莱戈拉斯首先反应神速地撇了一眼他脚下精灵的隐身斗篷，把它一脚踢到矮人脚边，“看到了吗！我就知道总有一天他们会用它来干这件事！不要再让这件有刚铎人故事和刚铎人后代的斗篷再靠近我一毫米！一毫米都不可以！不要问为什么，也没有为什么，总而言之——我永远不想再用到它！”

“人类啊，人类！”甘道夫痛心疾首。

“但是…但是……”梅里弱弱的说，“阿拉贡和波罗米尔恐怕是我至今所认识的，最最虔诚的人类啦！”梅里咽了下口水，继而替这两位对他非常友善的高大人类辩解道，“我时常在夜里或者晨间，在茂密的树林里，听到他们虔诚的祷告，有时候，在前半夜，波罗米尔会跪在泥地上喊Eru，在后半夜，阿拉贡则背靠着树干念诵Valar……他们对造物神持续不断地赞美的频率和强度，甚至再次加深加强了我对中洲诸造物神们的信仰！”此时此刻，梅里的表情和话语都充满了绝对的纯真。

“够啦，够啦！”巫师跺着拐杖，用长袍中的大手去捂好持戒人弗罗多的耳朵，仿佛他们刚刚所说的一切比魔君索伦的蛊惑更可怕，“噢皮聘，梅里，闭上你们的大嘴巴！”

心智年长的山姆害羞地低下头去，只剩下正被堵着耳朵的弗罗多一脸茫然，他好像知道这讨论的不是什么好话，但是又一句话都没听懂。

“你们在谈什么？”远处的树林，阿拉贡和波罗米尔一前一后，抱着新捡的柴和找到的食物回来，他们看起来正常，体面，面色红润，步履很稳，举止高贵，头发和衣服都整理得好好的，一切如常——除了波罗米尔和阿拉贡的嘴角上，好像有什么动物的咬痕，那当然不可能是除了人类之外的什么其他动物。

阿拉贡眼尖地瞟到波罗米尔后脑勺的头发中藏着的一片枯叶，他不动声色地，用手快速又轻巧地将它弄了下来。

而波罗米尔则咳嗽一声，脸上生出一丝莫名的红晕，欲盖弥彰般，他高大的身躯主动地站得离阿拉贡远了一些。

环视了一圈不知道为什么沉默的其他七个人，七个人像七盏高低不一的红绿灯，看向七个不同路口的方向，视他与阿拉贡如无物。波罗米尔率先摇了一下手里的新鲜食材，脸上挂着憨厚又和蔼的笑容，问道：

“现在谁想吃第五顿晚饭？”

“我们！！！”四个霍比特人齐声回答。
