First of all, from the story:
Song of Eternal Sorrow describes the love tragedy between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei in a sad style. The first half of this poem satirizes Xuanzong's pet, Yang Guifei: "If she just turns her head and smiles, there will be a hundred spells, and the powder and paint in the sixth house will disappear without a trace ... but the spring night is short and the sun rises too fast. Since then, the emperor has given up his early hearing. He wastes all his time on parties and revelry. He is the lover of spring and the tyrant of night. There are other ladies in his court, with 3,000 rare beauties, but his favor for 3,000 focuses on one body ... ""Soft songs and slow dances, stringed bamboo and piano music, the emperor's eyes can't get enough. Yuyang came with encouragement and broke the tune of rainbow skirt and feather clothes. " It reveals that Xuanzong's indulgence, laziness and debauchery led to the "Anshi Rebellion". In the second half of the poem, historical facts, legends and imagination are intertwined, and Li Yang's love and "long hatred" are recited: "Only the water of Shu is evergreen, and the mountains of Shu are evergreen, and your majesty's love is often deeper than the sky. He stared at the desolate moon from his temporary palace, and he heard the bells in the late rain cutting his chest. " "Ponds, gardens and palaces are the same as before, too liquid lotus lake, Weiyang Palace willow. But the petals are like her face, and the willow leaves are like her eyebrows. Whenever he looks at them, what can he do but cry? ? "Tang Xuanzong's mourning for Yang Guifei was greatly exaggerated and unforgettable. It is also described in a long passage similar to evocation, showing their eternal love and endless resentment: "We hope to fly in heaven, two birds grow together on the earth with one wing, and two branches of a tree ... the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever; One day both will end, and this endless sorrow will continue forever. " He expressed deep sympathy for Where to Go written by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei.
And Tong Hu is also about the love tragedy of Fei Di. The emperor of this dynasty was a well-connected man, and among many concubines, he preferred to change clothes without strong support. This change of clothes was therefore envied, slandered and resented by all the concubines. Soon, the little prince who changed clothes was born. He looks like jade, chinese odyssey. Therefore, he was more favored by the emperor. However, the Queen Mother of the Crown Prince Honghui Hall is even more jealous of this change. When the little prince was 3 years old, his change of clothes made him miserable and died. Therefore, Emperor Tonghu missed changing clothes day and night.
Thus, the volume of Tong Hu is exactly the same as the plot of Song of Eternal Sorrow. Not only that, the whole volume of Tong Hu is an explanation of the poem Song of Eternal Sorrow, and even quotes the original poem. Let's analyze it in detail:
"Tong Hu" is about changing clothes, which is especially favored by the emperor. "I love her, but I don't care about the public criticism, blindly eccentric. Such a special favor will surely become a story for later generations. Even senior officials and nobles in North Korea disagreed. Everyone looked askance and said to each other, "What a surprise! This is the reason for the chaos in the Tang Dynasty. "The news has gradually spread all over the country, and people have complained that this is a very worrying thing. It is inevitable that a terrible disaster like Yang Guifei will happen in the future." -This is not only the image portrayal of Yang Guifei in "There are other women in the palace, who are 3,000 stunning and 3,000 favorite", but also the book directly writes that Li Yang's love disaster led to "An Shi Rebellion". The influence of Song of Eternal Sorrow on the volume of Tong Hu can be seen.
There are many such examples. After changing his clothes, the book wrote: "The emperor recently browsed the album" Song of Eternal Sorrow "in the morning and evening." The relic left by changing clothes, "The emperor saw it and thought,' If Lin Qiong finds the evidence brought back by the Taoist priest where the deceased lived, it will be in vain." But dreaming is also futile, so he recited a poem, "May you be a guest of Hongdu and find the residence of the fragrant soul." In the text, I also wrote about Emperor Tonghu's desire to change clothes: "The emperor read the album" Song of Eternal Sorrow "and thought that Yang Guifei's appearance in the painting was written by a famous artist, but her brushwork was limited and she was finally uninteresting. In the poem, it is said that the imperial concubine's face is like "the lotus in Taiye Lake and the willow in Weiyang Palace". This is true, and the costumes in the Tang Dynasty are also beautiful and elegant. However, recalling the charming and gentle posture when changing clothes in Tonghu Lake, I feel that the colors and sounds of any flowers and birds are incomparable. I used to get along with each other day and night. I used to say,' We want to fly in heaven, two birds grow together on the earth with one wing, and two branches of a tree. And the oath made by * * * has now become a bubble. -Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty missed the change of clothes of Emperor Tonghu as much as Yang Guifei, as well as "Lotus in Taiye Lake, Willow in Weiyang Palace" and "Being born on the earth, one tree has two branches." The poem quoted the original sentence.
Judging from the storylines of Tong Hu and Song of Eternal Sorrow, Tong Hu is a refinement and extension of Song of Eternal Sorrow, and the storylines of the two are exactly the same.
Secondly, from the perspective of characters:
The Song of Eternal Sorrow describes the love tragedy between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei, and the story of Genji also describes the love between Tong Hu and the emperor who changed clothes. Both of them were a monarch and a concubine, and both died in tragic endings, but the way my concubine died was different. Yang Guifei hanged herself, and Tong Hu changed her clothes because of illness. The dead all have infinite thoughts about the dead. This is the protagonist from the tragedy.
There are similarities in the descriptions of minor characters. In Song of Eternal Sorrow, after Yang Guifei's death, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty missed her day and night, so a Taoist priest appeared to look for Yang Guifei's image: "There lived a Taoist priest in Lingqiong, who was a guest of heaven and could summon souls attentively. In order to feel the king's mind, I taught him diligently. " In the "Tonghu" volume, coincidentally, a fortune teller also appeared after changing clothes: "North Korea sent envoys to make pilgrimages, and there was a clever fortune teller. When the emperor heard the news, he wanted to call the fortune teller and teach him to tell the little prince's fortune. " The fortune teller spoke highly of Genji's beauty. A Taoist priest and a fortune teller are strikingly similar in appearance.
Third, from the method of describing characters:
Both Song of Eternal Sorrow and Tong Hu use the method of profile description and foil to describe characters.
The Song of Eternal Sorrow describes Yang Guifei's beauty. "But God-given grace, unabashed, will one day be elected to the imperial palace. If she just turns her head and smiles, there will be a hundred spells, and the six palaces will be wiped out. "Yang Guifei is more beautiful here than the harem beauty. This description method is also used in Tong Hu: when the little prince was three years old, he held a dress ceremony, and the little prince was beautiful in appearance and elegant in manners. "People who saw him were surprised, stared at him and sighed:' This immortal man will also come to earth! "Through the mouth of others to profile the little prince's extraordinary.
Fourth, from the psychological description of the characters:
Both Song of Eternal Sorrow and Tong Hu are good at describing the psychological activities of characters, and their psychological descriptions are delicate.
Song of Eternal Sorrow describes the thoughts of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty on Yang Guifei. Tang Xuanzong's psychology is: "And the porcelain mandarin ducks on the roof are thick and frosty, who is cold and broken?" ? The distance between life and death is year after year, but no beloved soul has visited his dream. "
After Tonghu changed clothes, the emperor's psychology was "but he felt that the night was long and worried." After changing clothes, the emperor felt like a knife and looked in a trance, just sitting in a cage and thinking. Another example is "long live the Lord, when you say this, you swallow your tears intermittently;" Afraid that others would laugh at his cowardice and dare not speak loudly, he vividly portrayed Tong Hudi's ambivalence.
In short, we can see from the above aspects that Tong Hu in Tale of Genji is not an extension and continuation of Song of Eternal Sorrow, and the tone of Song of Eternal Sorrow has always permeated Tong Hu. "Tong Hu" successfully transplanted the plot and character description of "Song of Eternal Sorrow" into the book, from which we can see Murasaki shikibu's attainments in China literature.
