How wonderful the royal family was in the Ming Dynasty: Zhou Xianwang, who had the heart of a bodhisattva, wrote inspirational zaju.

A sovereign with a bodhisattva's heart

Let's look at Zhu Youyi first. He is the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang and the eldest son of his father Zhu J, the king of Zhou Ding. He was born in 1379 and died in 1439. His nickname is Chengzhai, alias Quanyangzi, Laokuangsheng and so on. After his father's death, the title of King Zhou was hereditary, and posthumous title was named "Xian", and later generations called him "King Zhou Xian". The grandchild of the Zhu family, a grand vassal, is characterized by his versatility and mastery of temperament. He has written 31 kinds of zaju, 2 collections of Sanqu and more poems in his life. He has a bodhisattva heart and a particularly strong sense of responsibility and mission to society and life. Other nobles of the captaincy regarded poetry and music as a pastime, while he devoted his great humanistic care to his own Sanqu creation. Look at his "Stop Wandering" first:

Southern Double Tone? Liu Yaojin is forbidden to wander

amorous feelings, and

romantic feelings are not boastful.

playing the lute with drums,

the meaning is as thin as the wind,

the feeling is as empty as the flower in the eye.

It's all empty spleen and smoke, and

it's a good life.

If the soup bottle is paper,

How to make tea?

don't simmer him again,

don't simmer him again;

Don't simmer him again,

Don't wait until the street is called.

Young men are easily confused by beauty. In the Ming Dynasty 5 years ago, it was common to spend the night with prostitutes, especially the rich children, who indulged in the Liuxiang of Huajie, and even called the sex of sex with prostitutes the most authentic. Zhu You, who is in a muddle, advises young people who are addicted to sex to stop wandering and return to life. Don't say anything about boundless amorous feelings, let alone romantic feelings. The love of whoring is as illusory as catkins in the wind and as unrealistic as flowers in the pupil of your eyes. The mutual affection between clients and prostitutes is all insincere, and young men should never be confused, thus neglecting their youth. Finally, the soup bottle wrapped in paper thrown by Zhu Youankle can't be used to make tea at all. When the fire burns, the paper burns and the water spills. He used a paper bottle as a metaphor for the so-called "love" between prostitutes and clients. If you really believe it, just like a soup bottle made of simmering paper with fire, the more you invest, the more stupid you will be. The more infatuated you are, the more hurt you will be! "Don't wait until the street is called", this sentence says that young people indulge in romantic places and spend a lot of money. If they are obsessed with it, they will sooner or later run out of money and be reduced to begging along the street. Therefore, Zhu You-tiao woke up as soon as possible, and don't wait for all the money to disappear and live on the streets to repent, otherwise it will be too late.

Zhu Youlao exhorted the prodigal son in the romantic field, and with a caring attitude, he exhorted the prostitutes in the romantic field to be good as soon as possible and start a normal life. It makes people feel a lot when reading it-

a showgirl,

singing and dancing for business,

humor for standing.

Yan Ying's period is very fruitful,

When will Yuanyang's debt be certified?

In the first paragraph, the author persuades a well-known prostitute, saying that "showmanship is the business of singing and dancing, and humor is the foundation" reveals her seemingly beautiful but extremely tragic situation. She leaned against the door in front of her house without shame, singing and dancing just to earn money, and taking part in accidental amusement and forcing a smile was the foundation of her life. In this case, the author advised the geisha: singing and dancing can't be a positive result in the world, and get rid of the humble life as soon as possible.

There is a handsome boy with a lot of charm,

dry lips and mouth when singing, and dizzy when dancing.

if you give ten pence, you will be happy, and

if you get five buckets of wheat, you will be equally divided.

Unconsciously, I gaunt my apricot face and peach cheeks with the wind and dust,

I lean my golden lotus bamboo shoots against the red emerald, and

I play with my saliva and dry my teeth and lips.

I also thought to myself,

I hurried back and left early.

You will be charming and handsome in every way.

The white hair you see adds a new person to the mirror;

find a leaf to return to the roots early.

Running around, drinking and laughing, this geisha slowly exhausted her youth. Even if there are beautiful teenagers with good talents and good looks, but the geisha is in a humble position, she can only look at the ocean and sigh, or she has to walk around the streets, condescending. All the year round, when I left the village and went to Zhuang, I worked hard to perform, and my food and clothing could not be guaranteed. In the rush to catch up with the scene, under the ravages of the clients, the flowers turned pale, the beauty faded away, and the oil was exhausted. She should think more about herself. She will soon be in her thirties. Even if she went to absolute beauty in the past, she will soon be old, and she will leave her roots and find her own home. In this passage, Zhu You tried to flatter and seduce the model, describing the suffering of prostitutes in detail.

Geisha seems to be spurned by thousands of people, but Zhu You is brilliant. He respects Geisha's personal dignity. He does not ridicule or abuse, but "persuades", and puts himself in her shoes to help her analyze the reality. He treated a geisha with an equal and cordial attitude, which is extremely rare for a feudal royal vassal.

epilogue

I want to wait for the balcony of Chu to beg for a half-paper talk about the sunny days, so

you can turn a golden cicada into a golden cicada in Suopingkang Lane.

You don't need to ask about the future of a steady pat.

While you are still alive.

If you get this phoenix friend, Luan, to be your relative,

If you don't want to be good, you're a fool!

The author puts forward his own advice to the geisha. He exhorts the geisha to be good and have a secure future. While he is young and beautiful, he should find a congenial person quickly, otherwise he will be a real fool!

The most unique feature of Zhu You-yi's "Imitating Cave People to Advise Singers to Be Good" is his equal attitude towards * * * and his concern for their reality and future. He didn't discriminate against them, he didn't belittle them, but he persuaded them carefully and took pains. Zhu You's careless attitude towards * * is very rare in the history of China literature, because he can overcome the unequal social prejudice.

Zhu has an imperial grandson, whose roots are bright, and he is a vassal king, sitting in splendor. However, he has a profound understanding of the world and the warmth and coldness of human feelings. His "Stop Wandering" and "Persuade Singers to Follow" are both popular and easy to understand, and the function of persuasion is great, so they are widely sung in the workshop and are well known. For those men and women who have lost their way, these songs can really play an enlightening role.
