《螢窗異境》之“眾裡尋他千百度”
東風夜放花千樹。更吹落、星如雨。寶馬雕車香滿路。鳳簫聲動,玉壺光轉,一夜魚龍舞。
蛾兒雪柳黃金縷。笑語盈盈暗香去。眾裡尋他千百度。驀然回首,那人卻在,燈火闌珊處。
——《青玉案 · 元夕》辛棄疾
Tools: Watercolors on paper
A work for the celebration of the Chinese Lantern Festival (also known as the First Full Moon Festival). The character depicted is a dragon spirit under the sea, searching through the crowd a thousand times to look for her lover. In fact, "Searching through the crowd a thousand times " is a line of verses from the Song Dynasty. Due to my poverty in English, I can't fully explain the poem to you. If you know Chinese, you can understand my works better.
Occasionally for this year, tomorrow is not only the Chinese Lantern Festival but also the Valentine's Day, so here I wish y'all a happy Valentine's Day and able to search through the crowd to find the one you love.
Comments are very welcomed!!
Thanks SinistrosePhosphate for helping me translate the title from ancient Chinese lyrics. OuO
今年的第一幅畫。。都二月了才得一幅,怎地我一直以爲現在是一月。。囧(果然是復古地過著農曆模式了。。O.O; )好冷!怎麽每次畫妖怪都是一邊顫抖一邊畫,難道這意味著夏天的時候畫妖怪可以消暑嗎? 總之,冬天不是寫畫天,越坐越冷。
這次畫的是海底的龍女。想畫花燈很久了,中學時代讀著辛棄疾的《青玉案》, 憧憬著詞裏古代的上元節,想象那該是多華彩四溢的光景。今年希望能描繪多些跟宋朝節慶和宋代文學作品有關的畫。上次畫了花妖,今次是龍女,下次該是什麽?
