Graceful Words
by Shi Yunhui
About This Novel
With its beautiful language form and implicit aesthetic conception, graceful words have added infinite brilliance to the world of Chinese poetry. Wanyue Ci is unique in describing personal emotions and natural scenery, forming a distinct emotional complement to poetry. The authors have combined their own life experiences with the sadness of parting, or incorporated them into erotic feelings, or incorporated them into chants of objects, passing on the common human emotions and beautiful art forms for thousands of years. Wanyue Ci is a Ci style that follows Huajian Ci and is represented by Liu Yong, Li Qingzhao, Wen Tingyun, Zhou Bangyan and other famous writers. The meaning of his words is subtle and tactful, his rhetoric is tactful, and his expressions are soft and delicate. The word "graceful" was first seen in the pre-Qin ancient book "Guoyu Wuyu" in "Guo Yue's speech". "Wan" means softness and melodiousness; the original meaning of "yue" is to bind, and it is extended to mean concise, vague and subtle. Shen Yifu, a poet in the Song Dynasty, pointed out in "Yuefu Zhimi": "The rhythm should be harmonious, but if it is not harmonious, it will make a long and short poem; the lower words should be elegant, but if it is inelegant, it will be almost entangled; the words should not be too exposed, otherwise they will be straight and abrupt without any depth; the meaning should not be too high, otherwise it will be crazy and weird and lose the gentle and graceful meaning." This can be regarded as the standard of the artistic technique of euphemistic words.
