【雨中花慢】-玉镜无尘

​作者：疏影

​玉镜无尘，冰壶濯魄，为谁永夜销魂。

忆风风雨雨，聚聚分分。

但喜芳心可可，应堪绮梦温温。

任深情指畔，书成美好，绽放纯真。

/

​愿消疑问，愿消猜测，愿消零泪轻颦。

可惜取，关怀眷眷，属意殷殷。

梧木重栖彩凤，澜波又现金鳞。

从容万里，逍遥几度，俪影芳辰。

Explaining the Form: About "Ci" (Chinese Lyric Poetry)

​This piece is a "Ci" (词), a unique form of classical Chinese lyric poetry. Unlike "Shi" (诗), Ci poems are written to pre-existing musical tunes, called "Ci-pai" (词牌). This particular Ci-pai is "Slow Song of Flowers in the Rain" (雨中花慢).

​Key characteristics of Ci include:

• ​Fixed Tune & Meter: Each Ci-pai has a specific length, a set number of lines, and a strict pattern of tones (flat and oblique) and rhymes, creating a musical rhythm.

• ​Emotional Depth: Ci often express intricate emotions, personal reflections, and observations of nature, frequently with a more lyrical and narrative quality than other poetic forms.

• ​Symbolism: Classical imagery, like the "jade mirror" (玉镜) symbolizing purity, the "phoenix" (彩凤) representing good fortune, and "golden scales" (金鳞) for success, are deeply embedded.

​This poem beautifully encapsulates a journey from reflection to hope, culminating in a vision of serene companionship.
