☆Translation
The light and colorful clouds scattered in the sky create many charming gestures. The two stars of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl expressed their regret at not being able to meet each other, hoping to fly across the vast and distant Milky Way immediately. Although there is only one meeting a year in the autumn breeze and jade dew, the affection is better than countless loves in the world.
The love between the two is as gentle and gentle as the waves of the Milky Way, and their beautiful meeting is as blurry as a dream. It makes people unable to bear to look back towards the Magpie Bridge on its way back. As long as the love between two people is eternal and firm, there is no need to be inseparable day and night.
☆Story
Since ancient times, everyone likes love, praises love, and is full of dreamlike imagination about love. This famous sentence is a beautiful language about the myth of love. Different from other poets in the Song Dynasty, the love affairs of other poets, such as Liu Yong or Yan Shu, are mainly expressed in the love affairs of feudal scholar-bureaucrats towards official prostitutes or domestic prostitutes. But Qin Guan describes a mythical love that is not like the fireworks of the human world.
The light and colorful clouds scattered in the sky, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, seem to be the beautiful patterns weaved by the Weaver Girl with her dexterous hands. According to legend, the Weaver Girl weaved cloud brocade and was an expert in weaving. According to folk custom, on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, girls display fruits and melons to beg the Weaver Girl for advice. Connecting the colorful clouds in early autumn with the skillful hands of the Weaver Girl immediately enters a specific scene, which also sets up a beautiful background for the reunion of Cowherd and Weaver Girl on the Chinese Valentine's Day.
"Fei Xing Chuan Hate" is about Cowherd. Altair shines particularly brightly in late summer and early autumn, and is the closest to Vega, so there is a saying that they will meet across the river. The word "fly" shows the Cowherd's eagerness to attend the appointment. "The Milky Way is so far away and so dark" describes the vastness of the Milky Way and the distance between the two stars. Interestingly, there are different opinions on whether the distance between the two stars Cowherd and Weaver Girl is far or near. It is said in ancient poems: "The river is clear and shallow, and how many miles apart it is." It is believed that the Milky Way that separates the Morning Bull and the Weaver Girl is clear and shallow, and the Morning Bull and the Weaver Girl are not far apart. Although they are only separated by a river, they look at each other. No dialogue allowed.
In addition to whether the distance between the two stars is far or near, people also have different opinions on whether the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are happy or sad. Qin Guan belongs to the happy group. He does not want to continue to sympathize with and describe the pitifulness and hatefulness of the two stars that will be less and more separated, nor does he want to create a lingering and disgusting lovesickness between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. He changed the subject and created the true meaning of love: "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win over countless people in the world." This highlights the beauty of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl getting together once a year.
Li Qingzhao, a female poet in the Song Dynasty, belongs to the sentimental school. She is worried about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl's "hateful separation and poverty". Li Qingzhao kept imagining how the two of them were inseparable and inseparable, saying, "The morning glory and the Weaver Girl are nothing but separation. It's sunny, rainy, and windy." ("Xing Xiangzi") It is generally believed that Qin Guan is different from his predecessors. He puts forward a new view of love, emphasizing the greatness and eternity of love. He believes that true love is more important than the amount of time spent together. If it is a false love, it is better not to have such love. In other words, Chinese love seems to have become great and eternal only when Qin Guan proposed that "if love lasts for a long time, how can it last forever?"
☆Timeless famous sayings
Love makes people great, but it also often makes people small, crazy and inexplicable. If love is an evil, it is a "necessary evil." Goethe, the great German romantic writer who wrote the beloved book "The Sorrows of Young Werther", once said: "My life is completely immersed in love. In other words, all my works are for love." . If there is no love, no love, I can’t write anything.”
Goethe was very qualified to say these words. He even fell in love again when he was seventy-three. Kai, fell madly in love with a seventeen-year-old girl next door. Although this love did not bear fruit, it did have the fruit of love, which is Goethe's other famous lyrical masterpiece, the long love poem "Marumba Elegy".
He wrote: "The most wonderful book among books is the book of love, which I have read carefully; only a few pages are joy, but the whole is pain, and there is a parting narrative in it."
A great love story can never be too little, and a great love story can never be without beautiful verses. Sima Xiangru, a romantic and talented man in the Han Dynasty, wrote a poem called "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix": "The phoenix comes back to its hometown, and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix. There is a beautiful girl in this hall, and the people in the room are poisonous to my intestines. How can the handover be... "Yuanyang." The newly widowed Zhuo Wenjun followed him around the world. Later, Zhuo Wenjun also wrote a poem "Ode to the White Head": "It's sad again and again, and you don't need to cry when you get married. I wish to have the person of my heart, and we will never be apart until we grow old together." He restored the romantic husband Sima Xiangru who had changed his heart. Even in a feudal and patriarchal social system like China, Zhuo Wenjun's example still shows that "for the sake of love, everything can be thrown away." This kind of courage produced by love is best described by Shakespeare: "Love can make cowards bold, but it can also make brave men cowards."
