Original: I turned my heart to the bright moon, which shines on the ditch. Flowers fall with the flowing water intentionally, but the flowing water falls unintentionally.
I turned my heart to the bright moon, which lit up the ditch. Explain that the object in your heart doesn't like yourself or that your sincere efforts have not been rewarded and respected. The fallen petal wants to drift with the flowing water, and the flowing water doesn't want to stay with the fallen petal, which means that the person you like doesn't like yourself.
The poem comes from the brilliant Pipa Story of the Yuan Dynasty. The thirty-first Pipa Story tells my father a few words-"This tit is rude, but it will collide with my words. My words are not in the right place, son. My husband's words are contrary to my father's. I hate children's knowledge. I should have trusted the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch. "
Extended data:
The Story of Pipa was written by Gao Ming in Lishui City (now Liandu Academy) during his tenure as a secretariat in Chuzhou. The Qing Daoguang edition of Lishui County Records records: "Hanging a quinoa pavilion, now, Gao Yuan sincerely writes the pipa."
It used to be the former residence of Jiang, the anti-Jin hero of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is a famous historical garden in Lishui. When Qin Guan, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, was demoted to state wine supervision tax, the wine tax department was located here.
In the preface and postscript to the painting "Reading Tu Tu" by the painter Dai in Qing Dynasty, it is mentioned that this place is "the hometown of famous officials in Song Dynasty", "the place where Yuan Zuoge wrote songs" and "writing pipa in this mountain".
The History of China Literature (edited by China Literature History Writing Group of Literature Research Institute of China Academy of Sciences, published by People's Literature Publishing House 1963) holds that Pipa Xing was written by him when he retired from Ningbo Nanxiang Oak Club in his later years. However, Wenzhou Fuzhi thinks that "the manuscript is attached to the Ming (Yin)", that is, the first draft is in Lishui and the final draft is in Ningbo. It is also reasonable for the two places to have a say.
The author of Pipa adds luster to Lishui history. In the twenty-seventh year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1688), the satrap Liu Tingji wrote a poem praising: "Pipa is a good poem. The story is told in the dance hall, and Cai Yong is really the champion. "
Pipa Story is known as the crown of southern music in Yuan Dynasty. There are also different opinions about this work. It is said that Gao Ming once had a friend named Wang Si, who was very close to Gao Ming, and suggested that Gao Ming take the exam in order to gain fame. The king abandoned his wife as soon as he came to the fourth place. It is unnecessary to spend money in a family with a surname. This is a clever evil. He wrote Pipa to satirize it. Take the four Wang characters on the head of Pipa as the code word.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Niu Jiao was called "Niu Taishi" because he didn't spend money. However, the protagonist Cai did not abandon his wife. On the contrary, he is a good man who always misses his parents and never forgets to marry a wife. He refused to try, and so did his father; He wanted to resign, but the emperor refused;
He wanted to quit his marriage, and Niu refused to obey him, so as to excuse his "three disobedience", blaming the negative feelings on the objective environment, and finally ending up with his monogamy, as if he were educating positively, without irony. There seems to be an attachment to the hidden theory of the four heavenly kings.
Another way of saying this is that the brilliant story of Pipa is based on folk stories. The story of Zhao Wuniang and Cai Bojie written in the play has been circulated among the people for a long time. When Gao Ming adapted it, he made great changes in the content, writing the Chen Shimei-style character "Cai Zhonglang" as a good man and setting an example of "dutiful son and wife" on the stage.
Generally speaking, The Story of Pipa has successfully shaped the glorious image of Zhao Wuniang, an ordinary woman, and at the same time has its unique artistic achievements. Judging from the development of Southern Opera, it is an important work and a turning point in the transition from folk literature to literati creation.
The Story of Pipa, as a drama, also has outstanding achievements in artistic structure. The psychological description of the characters is meticulous, and the language use is more mature than that of contemporary southern opera. The language of the main characters is more emotional. These are the reasons why Pipa Ji became a masterpiece at that time, spread through the ages and occupied an important position in the history of literature.
