I looked for it on purpose, but I couldn't find it. Suddenly I turned around inadvertently and found that the person I was looking for was in an inconspicuous place (a dimly lit place).

From Xin Qiji's Qing Yu Anyuan Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty.

One night, the east wind made up thousands of trees and flowers, blowing off the stars and rain. BMW carved cars are full of incense. Phoenix flute moves, jade pot turns, fish dragon dances all night.

Moths, snow, willows, gold thread, laughter and incense are all gone. Looking for him in the crowd, suddenly looking back, the man was there, dimly lit.

Translation:

Like the east wind blowing away thousands of trees and flowers, it also blows fireworks like rain. The luxurious carriage is full of fragrance. The melodious sound of the phoenix flute echoed everywhere, the moon like a jade pot gradually tilted westward, and the fish dragon lantern danced all night.

The beautiful woman wears bright ornaments on her head and walks with the crowd, smiling and smelling. I looked for her thousands of times in the crowd, suddenly turned around, but inadvertently found her in the scattered lights.

This word begins with the colorful and lively scene of the Lantern Festival, which reflects an aloof and indifferent female image different from the golden powder, and entrusts the author's aloof and arrogant character who is unwilling to go along with the secular after political frustration.

The whole poem adopts the method of contrast. The first part describes the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival with bright lights and full of music, and the second part deliberately describes the protagonist looking for a lonely and tall woman standing in the scattered light among the good women. Delicate conception, delicate language, implicit euphemism and endless aftertaste.

Extended data:

Three realms of life:

This situation: I searched thousands of times, but found that person in a cold place. People are intoxicated with excitement, but she stays out of it. The more lively the lamp is written, the more sublime and forgetful people are, and the more they can see the different situations of people in the world, especially in the minds of poets.

This kind of state shows that after accumulating enough, the quantitative change becomes qualitative change and is caught up inadvertently.

Analysis: The third realm is that after many twists and turns, after many tempering, he gradually matures, he can see what others can't see, and he will suddenly understand what others can't understand. At this time, he will make creative and unique contributions to his career. This is a success. This is a flower watered with blood and sweat, and a building cast with lifelong energy.
