据传，这首词是用粉写在一张芍药叶片上的。词的上片意象很美，你看，初夏的阵雨飘飞在山谷田野，已上场的新麦散发着阵破清香，头上插花的牧童悠然自得地骑在牛背上。可是，在这样一个丰收的季节里，词人却没有丝毫的喜悦。她干完了农活，又要回家做饭，忙得腰酸背疼， 仍不免受到挑剔与责骂。怒早、嗔迟，真是左右为难。夫悍姑恶，一切都看不顺眼。双卿是那么的无助，身体、精神上备受煎熬，心中的苦闷、忧愤、伤痛无以排遣，无处表达，唯有借助手中的笔，将满腔的幽怨倾诉于纸上，形成一首首滴血含泪的诗篇。诗词是她唯一的听众，唯一的寄托，也是生命中唯一的闪光点，夜晚独自一人，内心的思绪如泉涌流于笔端，内心的痛苦也如泉水延绵流长，“此恨绵绵无绝期”，于是忍痛含悲，写下了这阕《浣溪沙》。
It is said that this word was written in powder on a peony leaf. The imagery in the first part of the poem is very beautiful. Look, the early summer showers float in the valleys and fields, the new wheat that has already entered the field emits a refreshing fragrance, and the shepherd boy with flowers on his head rides leisurely on the back of a cow. However, in such a bountiful season, the poet showed no joy at all. She finished her farm work and had to go home to cook, so busy that her back and waist were sore, and she still couldn’t help but be criticized and scolded. Being angry early or late is really a dilemma. Fu Hangu is evil, everything doesn’t seem pleasing to the eye. Shuangqing is so helpless, suffering both physically and mentally. Her inner distress, anger, and pain cannot be expressed, and there is nowhere to express them. She can only use the pen in her hand to pour out her full of grievances on paper, forming blood and tears in her poems. Poetry is her only audience, only refuge, and only shining point in life. Alone at night, her inner thoughts flow like a spring to the pen, and her inner pain also flows like a spring water. ‘This hatred is endless,’ so she endured the pain and wrote this poem ‘Washing the Sand of the River’.
贺双卿·《浣溪沙》
暖雨无晴漏几丝，
牧童斜插嫩花枝。
小田新麦上场时。
汲水种瓜偏怒早，
忍烟炊黍又嗔迟。
日长酸透软腰肢。
Huan xi sha
He Shuangqing
The warm rain falls unfeeling like scattered threads of silk.
A herd boy tucks a flower bud askew behind his ear
While taking new grains from the small field to the threshing floor.
Draw the water, plant the melons, but he gets mad too early!
Bear the smoke, cook the millet, he’s mad again too late!
The day is long and my body is racked with aches and weariness.
