中秋autumn 咏月moon

中秋饮酒将旦，客谓前人诗词有赋待月无送月者，因用《天问》体赋。
可怜今夕月，向何处、去悠悠。
是别有人间，那边才见，光影东头。
是天外空汗漫，但长风浩浩送中秋。
飞镜无根谁系，姮娥不嫁谁留。
谓经海底问无由，恍惚使人愁。
怕万里长鲸，纵横触破，玉殿琼楼。
虾蟆故堪浴水，问云何玉兔解沉浮。
若道都齐无恙，云何渐渐如钩。

The, pity, the, moon, of, the, tonight,
To, what, place, does, it, go, so, far, and, far.
Is, it, that, there, is, another, human, world,
Over, there, only, then, seeing,
The, light, and, the, shadow, at, the, eastern, end.
Is, it, that, beyond, the, sky, the, empty, vast, and, boundless,
But, the, long, wind, vast, and, vast, sending, the, Mid-autumn.
The, flying, mirror, without, the, root, who, ties, it,
The, Chang'e, not, marrying, who, keeps, her.
Saying, it, passes, the, bottom, of, the, sea, asking, no, way,
The, dim, and, the, confused, making, the, man, sorrowful.
Fearing, the, ten, thousand, miles, the, long, whale,
Crashing, and, breaking, in, the, crossing,

Asking, why, then, the, jade, rabbit, understands, the, sinking, and, the, floating.
If, saying, all, together, without, the, harm,
Why, then, gradually, like, the, hook.

Background

Xin Qiji (1140-1207), the great poet of the Southern Song, wrote this 'The, Slow, Song, of, the, Magnolia: The, Pity, the, Moon' of the moon and the wonder — the wonder of the going of the moon. Drinking the wine on the Mid-autumn to the dawn, the poet asked about the going of the moon in the form of the Heaven, Question — the wonder of the opening. The moon of the far and far going, the wonder of the other world, and the close's the wonder of the hook — the poem gathers the wonder of the poet, the freedom of the imagination. The poem is one of the famous works of the poet's poems of the moon.

此词写咏物，以奇想写咏物，是辛弃疾的名篇。辛弃疾（1140—1207），字幼安，号稼轩，历城（今山东济南）人，南宋豪放派词人，与苏轼并称「苏辛」，与李清照并称「济南二安」。此词为辛弃疾中秋夜饮酒将旦时作，写其用《天问》体送月。辛弃疾此词写其中秋送月之问，客谓前人只赋待月而无送月者，故用天问体赋之。此词写可怜今夕月，向何处、去悠悠；是别有人间，那边才见，光影东头；是天外空汗漫，但长风浩浩送中秋；飞镜无根谁系，姮娥不嫁谁留；谓经海底问无由，恍惚使人愁；怕万里长鲸，纵横触破，玉殿琼楼；虾蟆故堪浴水，问云何玉兔解沉浮；若道都齐无恙，云何渐渐如钩。此词写送月：「可怜今夕月，向何处、去悠悠」写可怜今夕月、向何处、去悠悠——写尽向何处的今夕月（可怜今夕月，向何处、去悠悠）；「是别有人间，那边才见，光影东头」写是别有人间、那边才见、光影东头——写尽光影东头的别有人间（是别有人间，那边才见，光影东头）；「是天外空汗漫，但长风浩浩送中秋」写是天外空汗漫、但长风浩浩送中秋——写尽长风浩浩的中秋（是天外空汗漫，但长风浩浩送中秋）；「飞镜无根谁系，姮娥不嫁谁留」写飞镜无根谁系、姮娥不嫁谁留——写尽姮娥不嫁的飞镜（飞镜无根谁系，姮娥不嫁谁留）。下阕写问月：「谓经海底问无由，恍惚使人愁」写谓经海底问无由、恍惚使人愁——写尽恍惚使人愁的海底（谓经海底问无由，恍惚使人愁）；「怕万里长鲸，纵横触破，玉殿琼楼」写怕万里长鲸、纵横触破、玉殿琼楼——写尽纵横触破的玉殿琼楼（怕万里长鲸，纵横触破，玉殿琼楼）；「虾蟆故堪浴水，问云何玉兔解沉浮」写虾蟆故堪浴水、问云何玉兔解沉浮——写尽玉兔解沉浮的虾蟆（虾蟆故堪浴水，问云何玉兔解沉浮）；「若道都齐无恙，云何渐渐如钩」写若道都齐无恙、云何渐渐如钩——写尽渐渐如钩的云何（若道都齐无恙，云何渐渐如钩）。全词以奇想写咏物，写尽向何处的今夕月与恍惚使人愁的海底，是理解辛弃疾咏物词的重要篇章。

Art

The poem's art is the art of the wonder. The moon opens: the, pity, the, moon, of, the, tonight — the moon of the tonight; to, what, place, does, it, go, so, far, and, far — the far and far of the going. The wonder follows: is, it, that, there, is, another, human, world — the other human world of the wonder; over, there, only, then, seeing, the, light, and, the, shadow, at, the, eastern, end — the eastern end of the light and the shadow; is, it, that, beyond, the, sky, the, empty, vast, and, boundless — the vast and boundless of the beyond the sky; but, the, long, wind, vast, and, vast, sending, the, Mid-autumn — the Mid-autumn of the long wind; the, flying, mirror, without, the, root, who, ties, it — the flying mirror of the who ties; the, Chang'e, not, marrying, who, keeps, her — the Chang'e of the who keeps; saying, it, passes, the, bottom, of, the, sea, asking, no, way — the bottom of the sea of the asking; the, dim, and, the, confused, making, the, man, sorrowful — the dim and the confused of the sorrowful; fearing, the, ten, thousand, miles, the, long, whale — the long whale of the fearing; crashing, and, breaking, in, the, crossing, the, jade, halls, the, jade, towers — the jade towers of the crashing and the breaking; the, toad, of, the, course, well, can, bathe, in, the, water — the toad of the well can bathe; asking, why, then, the, jade, rabbit, understands, the, sinking, and, the, floating — the jade rabbit of the sinking and the floating. And the close gathers the wonder: if, saying, all, together, without, the, harm — the without the harm of the all together; why, then, gradually, like, the, hook — the hook of the gradually — the moon, the wonder and the close's asking, gathered in the poem.

此词的艺术特色可从四个方面解析。其一，以天问体写奇想。「可怜今夕月」以天问体写奇想——那「向何处、去悠悠」写尽向何处的今夕月，以天问体写尽向何处的今夕月。其二，以设问写月行。「是别有人间」以设问写月行——那「那边才见，光影东头」写尽光影东头的别有人间，以设问写尽光影东头的别有人间。其三，以想象写海底。「谓经海底问无由」以想象写海底——那「怕万里长鲸，纵横触破」写尽纵横触破的玉殿琼楼，以想象写尽恍惚使人愁的海底。其四，以喻问写月缺。「若道都齐无恙」以喻问写月缺——那「云何渐渐如钩」写尽渐渐如钩的云何，以喻问写尽渐渐如钩的云何。此外，此词上阕写向何处的今夕月，下阕写恍惚使人愁的海底，由送及问，正是咏物词「以问写月」的写法。四重手法，使此词以奇想写咏物，写尽向何处的今夕月与恍惚使人愁的海底，是辛弃疾的代表作。

Allusions

'The Heaven, Question' (tian wen) is the Heaven, Question — the questions of the Qu Yuan, the form of the middle; 'the Chang'e' (heng e) is the Chang'e — the goddess of the moon, the not marrying of the middle; 'the jade rabbit' (yu tu) is the jade rabbit — the rabbit of the jade, the sinking and the floating of the close; 'the toad' (ha ma) is the toad — the toad of the moon, the bathing of the close.

此词的用语深植于咏物与奇想传统。「今夕月」令人想到「今夕月」写今夜的意象——也令人想到「今夕何夕」的意象；「去悠悠」令人想到「去悠悠」写悠悠的意象——也令人想到「白云千载空悠悠」（崔颢）的意象；「人间」令人想到「人间」写人间的意象——也令人想到「天上人间」的意象；「光影」令人想到「光影」写光影的意象——也令人想到「光影徘徊」的意象；「汗漫」令人想到「汗漫」写汗漫的意象——《淮南子》汗漫，也令人想到「汗漫九垓」的意象；「长风」令人想到「长风」写长风的意象——也令人想到「长风破浪会有时」（李白）的意象；「飞镜」令人想到「飞镜」写明月的意象——也令人想到「飞镜又重磨」的意象；「姮娥」令人想到「姮娥」写嫦娥的意象——《淮南子》嫦娥奔月，也令人想到「嫦娥应悔偷灵药」（李商隐）的意象；「海底」令人想到「海底」写海底的意象——也令人想到「海底捞月」的意象；「长鲸」令人想到「长鲸」写长鲸的意象——也令人想到「长鲸万古」的意象；「玉殿琼楼」令人想到「玉殿琼楼」写月中广寒的意象——也令人想到「琼楼玉宇」（苏轼）的意象；「虾蟆」令人想到「虾蟆」写月蟾的意象——也令人想到「蟾宫折桂」的意象；「玉兔」令人想到「玉兔」写月中玉兔的意象——也令人想到「玉兔捣药」的意象。全词化用今夕月、去悠悠、人间、光影、汗漫、长风、飞镜、姮娥、海底、长鲸、玉殿琼楼、虾蟆、玉兔的意象典故，以奇想写咏物，正是辛弃疾「豪放」而善用典、承天问传统写奇想之本领。

Commentary

This poem is one of the famous works of Xin Qiji's poems of the moon, quoted for the wonder of its middle and the philosophy of its close. The other human world of the wonder, and the hook of the gradually, are among the admired passages of the poet's poems. Critics praise the poem's wonder: the moon gathered in the asking, to the close's hook.

此词历来被推为辛弃疾咏物词的名篇，也是宋词写送月的代表。历代论者对此词评价极高：清人评此词「以奇想写咏物，纵横奇崛」；近人更指出「可怜今夕月，向何处、去悠悠」写向何处的今夕月，是此词的名句。在诗歌史上，此词的特殊价值在于：它以长调写尽向何处的今夕月与恍惚使人愁的海底——那可怜，那今夕月，那向何处，那去悠悠，那是别有人间，那那边才见，那光影东头，那是天外，那空汗漫，那但长风，那浩浩送中秋，那飞镜，那无根，那谁系，那姮娥，那不嫁，那谁留，那谓经海底，那问无由，那恍惚，那使人愁，那怕万里长鲸，那纵横触破，那玉殿琼楼，那虾蟆，那故堪浴水，那问云何，那玉兔，那解沉浮，那若道，那都齐无恙，那云何，那渐渐如钩，都写尽了辛弃疾笔下的木兰花慢可怜今夕月；那「云何渐渐如钩」更以喻问写尽渐渐如钩的云何。此词与苏轼《水调歌头·明月几时有》「明月几时有」同为咏月名篇，一写「但愿人长久，千里共婵娟」的水调歌头，一写「可怜今夕月，向何处、去悠悠」的木兰花慢；一写待月，一写送月。两词对读，可见宋词咏月的两种境界。对于今日读者，此词是理解辛弃疾咏物词的窗口，也是宋词写送月的经典——那渐渐如钩的云何，穿越千年，仍在诉说着向何处的今夕月。

Prosody

Form A ci of the tune of the Slow, Song, of, the, Magnolia (mulanhuaman)词·木兰花慢

Rhyme The poem rhymes on the level of the group — the cadence of the ci that carries the free wonder.木兰花慢，上阕押「悠」「头」「秋」「留」，下阕押「愁」「楼」「浮」「钩」（尤韵），一韵到底

Tone pattern The cadence is that of the wonder: the level opening with the moon, the turning with the asking, and the close's fall with the hook.此词为木兰花慢长调，押平声韵，一韵到底，音节奇崛，正合奇想的奇崛。

Reading note The poem's sound matches its wonder: the cadences of the ci, and the close — 'yun he jian jian ru gou' — falls with the hook, the sound of the wonder of the moon poet.此词为木兰花慢长调，上下两阕——上阕「可怜今夕月，向何处、去悠悠。是别有人间，那边才见，光影东头。是天外空汗漫，但长风浩浩送中秋。飞镜无根谁系，姮娥不嫁谁留」，下阕「谓经海底问无由，恍惚使人愁。怕万里长鲸，纵横触破，玉殿琼楼。虾蟆故堪浴水，问云何玉兔解沉浮。若道都齐无恙，云何渐渐如钩」，押尤韵（悠、头、秋、留、愁、楼、浮、钩），一韵到底，音节奇崛。全词以奇想写咏物：上阕写向何处的今夕月（可怜今夕月、飞镜无根谁系），下阕写恍惚使人愁的海底（谓经海底问无由、云何渐渐如钩）。长调铺叙，前写送月，后写问月，以「云何渐渐如钩」写尽渐渐如钩的云何，正见辛弃疾「豪放」的本色。诵读此词，宜以奇崛的语调读「可怜今夕月」的送月，以设问的语调读「云何渐渐如钩」的问月，结句要读得奇崛而有余韵，方能传达出辛弃疾的纵横奇崛。辛弃疾长调以「豪放」著称，此词正是其咏物词的典范。

Line by line

可怜今夕月，向何处、去悠悠

Pity tonight's moon—whither does it go, drifting away?

可怜今夕月，向何处、去悠悠。

Lovely is tonight's moon; toward what place does it drift, wandering off?

此三句是全词写送月的核心，以可怜今夕月写今夕月，以向何处写何处，以去悠悠写悠悠，写尽向何处的今夕月，是千古名句。「可怜今夕月」写可怜今夕月——那「可怜」写可怜，「今夕月」写今夕月，写尽可怜的今夕月；「向何处」写向何处——那「向」写向，「何处」写何处，写尽向的何处；「去悠悠」写去悠悠——那「去」写去，「悠悠」写悠悠，写尽去的悠悠。这句的深意在于：它以「可怜今夕月」的今夕月、「向何处」的何处与「去悠悠」的悠悠，写尽向何处的今夕月——可怜今夕月，那「可怜今夕月」写尽可怜的今夕月——可怜今夕月，正是怜爱今夜的写照，那「今夕月」写尽向何处的今夕月；向何处，那「向何处」写尽向的何处——向何处，正是去向何方的写照，那「何处」写尽向何处的今夕月；去悠悠，那「去悠悠」写尽去的悠悠——去悠悠，正是悠悠而去的写照，那「悠悠」写尽向何处的今夕月；那「可怜今夕月」写尽可怜的今夕月，那「向何处」写尽向的何处，那「去悠悠」写尽去的悠悠，一写今夕月，一写何处，一写悠悠，写尽向何处的今夕月——怜月去何处而悠悠，正是送月的写照；此三句以今夕月、何处、悠悠写尽向何处的今夕月，也为下文的别有人间作铺垫，也让此三句成为全词写送月的核心与千古名句。若换作直说「可爱今夜的月亮，向哪里去，悠悠地离去」，则失其奇想；唯以「可怜今夕月」写今夕月、「向何处」写何处、「去悠悠」写悠悠，写尽向何处的今夕月，也让此三句成为全词写送月的核心。

These lines are the moon-sending heart of the ci, pitying tonight's moon and asking whither it drifts. 'Pity' opens with tender fondness; 'tonight's moon' fixes the night. 'Whither does it go, drifting away' is the daring question—where does the moon travel after it sets? Xin Qiji treats the moon as a traveler bound on a journey, the starting wonder of the whole astronomical fantasia. If stated as 'where is the moon going tonight,' the imagination would fade; only through 'drifting away' does the moon become a voyager.

若道都齐无恙，云何渐渐如钩

If all were truly whole and unharmed, why does it slowly thin to a hook?

若道都齐无恙，云何渐渐如钩。

If the moon were wholly unimpaired, why does it gradually curve to a hook?

此二句是全词写问月的核心，以若道都齐无恙写无恙，以云何渐渐如钩写如钩，写尽渐渐如钩的云何，是千古名句。「若道都齐无恙」写若道都齐无恙——那「若道都齐」写若道都齐，「无恙」写无恙，写尽若道都齐的无恙；「云何渐渐如钩」写云何渐渐如钩——那「云何渐渐」写云何渐渐，「如钩」写如钩，写尽云何渐渐如钩的如钩。这句的深意在于：它以「若道都齐无恙」的无恙与「云何渐渐如钩」的如钩，写尽渐渐如钩的云何——若道都齐无恙，那「若道都齐无恙」写尽若道都齐的无恙——若道都齐无恙，正是一般无恙的写照，那「无恙」写尽渐渐如钩的云何；云何渐渐如钩，那「云何渐渐如钩」写尽渐渐如钩的如钩——云何渐渐如钩，正是何故渐缺的写照，那「如钩」写尽渐渐如钩的云何；那「若道都齐无恙」写尽若道都齐的无恙，那「云何渐渐如钩」写尽渐渐如钩的如钩，一写无恙，一写如钩，写尽渐渐如钩的云何——都说无恙而何故渐钩，正是问月的写照；此二句以无恙、如钩写尽渐渐如钩的云何，也让此二句成为全词写问月的核心与千古名句。若换作直说「若说都好好的，为什么渐渐缺如钩子」，则失其奇想；唯以「若道都齐无恙」写无恙、「云何渐渐如钩」写如钩，写尽渐渐如钩的云何，也让此二句成为全词写问月的核心。

These lines are the moon-question heart of the ci, arguing that if the moon were intact it could not thin to a hook. 'If all were truly whole' sets the hypothesis; 'why does it slowly thin to a hook' presses the consequence—the waxing and waning is itself the evidence of change. The childlike logic, arguing the moon's phases as a traveler's injury, is the boldness of Xin Qiji's scientific fancy, anticipating the modern understanding of the moon's turning. If stated as 'if it were whole, why is it crescent,' the whimsy would fade; only through 'truly whole' and 'thin to a hook' does the question become a riddle.

Study

Word focus

悠 A key expression in the poem. Read it as an image, mood, or grammar point in context. 「向何处、去悠悠」之「悠」字是写送月关键词，一个「悠」字写尽去的悠悠。悠者，悠悠、长远也。辛弃疾以「去悠悠」写送月，这个「悠」字至少有双重意味：其一，写去之悠——那「向何处、去悠悠」写向何处、去悠悠，那「悠」字写尽去的悠悠——悠悠，正是长远无尽的写照，那「悠」字写尽去的悠悠；其二，写思之远——那「悠」字更是写远——悠，正见悠悠远去的遐想，那「悠」字写尽辛弃疾的奇想。以「悠」字写送月，正是辛弃疾写咏物的枢纽——若换作「长」「远」等字，则或失其与「向何处」「去悠悠」的配合，或失其写悠的意味；唯「悠」字，以向何处去悠悠写尽月去之长远与思绪之无尽，与「可怜今夕月」的今夕月相合，写尽去的悠悠，也让「去悠悠」成为全词写送月的名句。

钩 A key expression in the poem. Read it as an image, mood, or grammar point in context. 「云何渐渐如钩」之「钩」字是写问月关键词，一个「钩」字写尽渐渐如钩的如钩。钩者，钩子、弯钩也。辛弃疾以「云何渐渐如钩」写问月，这个「钩」字至少有双重意味：其一，写月之钩——那「云何渐渐如钩」写云何渐渐如钩，那「钩」字写尽渐渐如钩的如钩——如钩，正是缺月如钩的写照，那「钩」字写尽渐渐如钩的如钩；其二，写缺之问——那「钩」字更是写问——钩，正见月缺如钩的问，那「钩」字写尽辛弃疾的奇想。以「钩」字写问月，正是辛弃疾写咏物的枢纽——若换作「弯」「弓」等字，则或失其与「云何渐渐」「如钩」的配合，或失其写钩的意味；唯「钩」字，以云何渐渐如钩写尽月缺之如钩与圆缺之追问，与「若道都齐无恙」的无恙相合，写尽渐渐如钩的如钩，也让「云何渐渐如钩」成为全词写问月的名句。
