古蟾宫·元宵

　　这首HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/sanqu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>散曲是反映HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shehui/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>社会HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/xianshi2/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>现实的作品。HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/xiaoling/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>小令描写了往年HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/yuanxiaojie/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>元宵节的热闹、欢乐气氛，同时又写了写作当年HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/yuanxiaojie/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>元宵节的冷清，HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/baixing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>百姓的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/chouyuan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>愁怨。今昔对比，反映出明代HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/guojia/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>国家日渐衰败，HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/baixing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>百姓HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shenghuo/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>生活每况愈下的情形，对老HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/baixing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>百姓的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/kunan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>苦难HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shenghuo/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>生活深表HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/tongqing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>同情，对官府的残酷统治表示强烈HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/buman/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>不满。

　　此曲用“今岁”、“往岁”的对比手法，描写了HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/yuanxiaojie/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>元宵节冷落的景象。“听元宵今岁嗟呀，愁也千家，怨也千家。”正反映当时HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/renmin/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>人民HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shenghuo/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>生活的实况和广大HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/renmin/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>人民对反动统治的HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/fenmen/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>愤懑情绪。据《尧HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/shan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>山堂外纪》载：“弘治、正德时，‘高邮元宵最盛，好事者多携佳灯美酒，即西楼为乐。……后经荒岁苛政，闾阎凋敝，良宵遂索然矣。’”这段话正可做为这首HRef=https://www.qijian.info/list/xiaoling/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>小令的最佳注脚。
