Tanchun couplets in the room (40th time)?
Hazy idle bones, spring stone wild career.
[description]
In the novel, it is said that this pair of couplets is the ink of Yan Zhenqing, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, and in the middle is the misty rain picture by Mi Fei, a famous painter in the Song Dynasty.
[Notes]
1. The sentence "Smoke Cloud" means that the essence of laziness is like smoke cloud, and people in Shan Ye often live with springs and stones. "Clouds of Smoke" and "Spring Rock" use the Tang people to visit rocks.
The Story of Tian You in the New Tang Dynasty: Tian You-yan "entered the temple of Xu You (an ancient hermit) in Jishan, calling himself an' east neighbor', but he could not call frequently." Gao Zongqin came to his door and said, "Is your husband better than (recently)?" Answer:' I am a so-called person suffering from chronic diseases such as spring stones and haze (my old habit of loving spring stones and haze can't be cured). "
[Appreciation]
In order to beautify their lives, people in the upper class often call themselves "outsiders" and "mountain people" and consider themselves elegant and lofty. The so-called "idle bones" and "wild undertakings" are just lazy bones and parasites. Of course, some of them are dissatisfied with real politics, which shows that they are unwilling to cooperate with the authorities. But more often, it is a kind of wandering mountain forest, enjoying the vast seclusion, and at the same time not forgetting that it is best to go out and be a big official. Tanchun has the "shrewdness" of a housekeeper and is keen on starting a career. Although her interest in these calligraphy and paintings (other indoor furnishings also explain the problem) is inevitably affected by melodrama, it is still very typical from the point of view that novels reflect the intellectual interest of literati through the trivial matters of boudoir characters.
In addition, this pair of couplets is also an excellent example of the author's complete conception and meticulous literary thinking. As early as in Tan Chun's Poem Club Post, Baoyu "saw the true green ink as a gift" and "lived among the springs and stones". At first, we always thought that this was just a pan-language written by the author, but after watching it several times, we actually let it go. The same situation can be cited in many novels.
