Love often begins with unrequited love. Most love in the world will go through a stage of unrequited love first.
Cui Hu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote this emotional experience of unrequited love:
Titu chengnan Zhuang
Tang/Cui Hu
Last spring, in this door, the girl's face contrasted with the peach.
Today, I came here again. I don't know where the girl went. Only the peach blossoms are still there, smiling in full bloom in the spring breeze.
According to Cui Hu's Skill Poem in the Tang Dynasty, there is a legendary story in this poem: "On Qingming Day, Cui Hu came second in the top, and traveled south of the city alone, and got a manor and an acre of palace, but there were flowers and trees, but no one was there. After a long time, a woman peeked through the door and asked, "Who is it?" Cui said,' I'm thirsty for wine when I'm looking for spring alone.' The woman arrived with a glass of water, opened the door, made the bed and sat down, standing by Momo Xie Ke alone, but unusually thick and coquetry, unable to do anything. Cui used words to pick, wrong, and it took a long time to notice. Cui resigned and delivered it to the door. If he is at a loss, Cui is also looking forward to it. Never come back again. And next year's Qingming, suddenly remembered, can't help but look for it. The door wall is the same, but it is locked because the poem is on the left ... "
Some people say that Cui Hu's poems were invented before this record. Whether it really happened or not can't be verified now. But as far as poetry is concerned, it is indeed the south of the city, with peach blossoms on its face. After the author's second visit, the poet misses the melancholy mood of an affair.
The first two sentences of this poem are about an affair in Tomb-Sweeping Day last year, which is full of the poet's praise and recollection of beauty. The poet didn't write how beautiful the woman moved him, but made a wonderful metaphor with peach blossoms in full bloom in spring, which made people imagine the charm and enchanting of a beautiful woman from its gorgeous, soft and fresh appearance. After that, the turning point of the two sentences returned to the present reality from nostalgia for the past: peach blossoms are still as seen last year, and the spring breeze is still blowing. However, the beautiful scenery has gone, and the courtyard door is locked by iron locks. Where did the previous beauty go? A great sense of loss suddenly welled up in my mind, and the peach blossom smiling in the spring breeze seemed to make fun of the poet's self-love, which made the poet more disappointed and embarrassed, and the artistic effect of this poem came out.
Poetically speaking, this poem by Cui Hu is just a secret love caused by looking for love in spring, a secret love lacking affection and communication, and it can be said that it is only a preliminary experience of love. However, when he looked at the house again, it was obvious that he had an eager expectation, but the reality tore his expectation to pieces, so infinite melancholy came to mind.
Maybe he will complain why he didn't come earlier, and if he does, he may have a chance to confess to her. But the communication between men and women is much more difficult for ancient people than for modern people. Even if men and women have been in love for a long time, it is not so easy to dare to say. Han Wo in the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem "Goodbye", about a girl who met her lover several times, but was embarrassed to make her love clear. Han Wo depicts the shy expression of a woman in love who wants to say but dare not. Its poem says:
Peach blossom face is thin and hard to hide tears, and arch eyebrows are long and sensitive to sadness.
Secret trace failed to smile face to face, raised his head and lowered his head several times.
This is also a gorgeous woman with slender eyebrows and eyes like willow leaves. The beautiful girl still has tears on her face, and the sad mood is still condensed on her slender eyebrows. The first two sentences of this poem are about women's beauty and sadness, which makes people wonder why beautiful women cry. Of course, the last two sentences reveal the answer. But after reading it, I realized that it was no big deal. When this woman saw her lover, she wanted to say it several times and was too shy to open her mouth. Not only did she not speak, but she even dared not show her excitement and joy. Even a smile was stifled in her chest.
Of course, it's no use regretting afterwards, feeling uncomfortable and complaining about yourself. I believe that many people have experienced this state of mind in their first love, but Han Wo wrote this sentence with "several times to look up and bow down", and this woman met her lover shyly and silently, complaining about her tears after she left.
Han Wo was famous for writing about love between men and women in the Tang Dynasty. His other four-character poem "I want to get along well" describes the instant warmth and unrequited love between men and women, and it is also very tasty. Its poem says:
In front of the Yutang in Shuangmen, there was an afternoon cold food.
I miss that man so much that he hangs his hands and refuses to play on the swing.
The title tells us that this poem is about the past and past feelings. I remember the past from time to time, which shows that I am deeply impressed. What on earth is so impressive? The first two sentences of this poem tell the time and place. The time is the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day, which is the Qingming Night of Cold Food Festival. The location is next to the pavilion in the deep house compound. Time and place convey a leisurely and quiet atmosphere. What the hell happened that night? Come to think of it, "that man" (a woman who charmed him) stood beside him, his hands hanging down, looking delicate and shy, and refused to sit on the swing board.
It turns out that what the poet always wants to recall is the happy scene of swinging with his sweetheart in the moonlight on the last cold food night. The feeling of love quietly stirring, the experience of a slight collision of hearts, once I think about it now, I still can't help but feel the warmth of love.
Han Wo sang the warm emotional memory of lovers when they got along with each other in beautiful poems, which made people admire him. This poem accurately describes the modality and psychological characteristics of a first-love girl. "Standing with one's hands down" describes the form, "shyness" describes the face, and the word "no" almost matches the deep-seated ideological activities, revealing the reserved and shy mentality of women in Seeds of Love.
Acacia and unrequited love are the deep development of men's and women's affair. How to convey your love to the people you love is the most artistic plot in real love life. Poets' keen eyes are usually good at capturing such details.
Li Duan, one of the ten gifted scholars in Dali, wrote a poem "Listening to the Zheng", which is said to be his own personal experience. Read his poems first, and then tell his story. The poem says:
Jin Su's guzheng makes a beautiful sound, and the beauty of guzheng sits in front of the jade house.
Trying to please Zhou Lang as much as possible, you see she deliberately dialed the wrong string.
Zhu Jinsu refers to the beautifully carved string wood of the guzheng, and the jade room refers to the pillow on the guzheng. The first two sentences of this poem deliberately use ","and "plain hand" to describe the charm of "Zheng" women and the magnificence of "Zheng" environment. According to the records of Yi Shizhen in his Tianku in Yuan Dynasty, it was in Fuma House in Ai Guo, where natural golden light and silver light set each other off. This "Zheng Ming" woman is a stunning prostitute named "Jinger". Li Duan wrote a poem "Gift", which really flattered Teacher Xu and won the appreciation of Guo Wen, so he was treated as a distinguished guest. The Mirror admired Li Duan's talent and had a crush on him. But Li Duan didn't know about it, just talking and laughing with Master Xu and a group of distinguished guests. So this woman deliberately "she will touch the wrong sound from time to time" so that "Zhou Lang" (bosom friend) can look back. Sure enough, Li Duan, who is proficient in melody, turned to look at the woman when she heard the wrong play. When the "mirror" saw the lover's move, it immediately made eye contact and released tens of thousands of volts of current. Li Duan certainly understood the meaning of this look, and was attracted by the beauty and talent of this girl Zheng, so she flirted with each other under the guise of Zheng's voice.
This scene was soon discovered by Guo Wen, and it would be strange if he didn't kill the prostitute at once in normal times. Fortunately, Master Xu was in a good mood that day, but he was not angry because of Li Duan's face. He just punished Li Duan for reciting a poem on the spot, and Li Duan took the opportunity to write this five-line poem, telling the truth about his love. It is said that Guo Nuan gave this "mirror" to him as soon as he was happy.
The story that Li Duan listened to Zheng's mistake at a banquet and won a beautiful woman's return may just be the old story that scholars in previous dynasties liked to admire themselves and even fantasize about themselves. However, this five-line poem describes that women are eager for the attention of "bosom friends" in order to convey their feelings and feelings, and skillfully integrates the story of "wrong care" in "Three Kingdoms" to reveal the delicate inner world of girls through deliberate mistakes in music performance. It can be described as unique and vivid, and it is worthy of being a famous work in the Tang Dynasty.
It can be seen from this poem by Li Duan that men and women in love sometimes don't need words to express their love. Emotional communication is more through eyes. A loving eye is better than a clumsy thousand words. But eye contact only conveys an emotional message. After reading this message, both parties still hope to confirm it through words.
