The opening words of "Water Margin": Try to read the hidden place of the forest, how elegant and elegant is it?
It's about the literati in the peaceful and prosperous times, who ate and drank enough, smiled and commented on the history of the country, and commented on the emperors of the former dynasties, leaving behind the chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period. There is truth and falsehood in it, which is particularly wonderful.
In an era, some people succeeded, some people failed, and some people fled to the deep mountains and forests. In an instant, the light of the new moon sprinkled on the river head, and there were many strange things. I'll talk, and you listen. There is no need to make a fuss, but we need to broaden our knowledge before we can make a clear decision.
I wonder if the word Shi Naian is original. The atmosphere is heroic, yet quiet and detached. It is quite different from Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Yang Shen's Xijiang Moon. Right here, Shi Naian or? Storyteller? Tone. Yang Shen, a great talent, got rid of this traditional tone directly.
In addition to the word "Water Margin", there is also a poem quoting Shao Kangjie in the Song Dynasty. This is Shao Kangjie, the first metaphysician in China. He was a Taoist in the Song Dynasty. There are two films about him at the beginning of the four classic novels. The Journey to the West mentioned him at the beginning, and his poem was quoted at the beginning of Water Margin. His famous words are often mentioned in the traditional novel Shuo Yue.
Shao Kangjie's poem, in fact, has overlapping meanings and words, but it was written by one person to express the personal feelings of the storyteller. Peace and prosperity, carefree, troubled times in go to the opera. For example, people who have a smooth life always like to watch a little tragedy. This poem is closer to the reader than the previous words.
A hundred years of new rain and dew, old mountains and rivers in Wan Li? . The sense of time and space came out.
I don't blame Jin Shengtan for including Water Margin in one of the six gifted scholars' books.
What is even more shocking, however, is that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms begins with a quote from Yang Shen's great talent, Xijiangyue. I don't know if it is because the CCTV version once composed music for it and sang the feeling.
The Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away heroes. Success or failure has turned empty, the green hills are still there, and the sunset is a few degrees red.
Simple and simple, easier to understand than the water margin. Lightweight, writing all the vicissitudes of historical changes.
Later, the lyrics of the Hong Kong drama "Shanghai Beach" sang: Waves rush, waves roll. Wan Li will never stop. Although not as good as Yang Dacai's handwriting, it is simple. Singer Ye Liyi's powerful voice makes people's blood boil.
As for the Red Chamber, of course, there are still good poems, but they are not in the opening and closing poems.
