But in fact, we have been wrong for so many years, and the complete original words should be: there are fewer willows blowing on the branches and more grass in the sea. It's not about love, but just about scenery.
This sentence comes from Su Shi, a great poet in the Song Dynasty who we are very familiar with.
We all know that Su Shi is the main representative of the wild school of Song poetry, but he is also good at writing graceful and restrained words, and this song "Spring Scenery of Butterfly Lovers" is his fresh and beautiful work. The first half of the poem describes the scene of the fading spring scenery, but it is reasonable in the scene. Finally, Su Shi encouraged himself with the phrase "There are flowers in the sea", which showed his broad-minded nature and expressed Su Shi's love for spring and pursuit of beautiful things.
Similarly, this sentence has nothing to do with romance, but it has been used by later generations for the love of men and women. Su Shi also has a well-known poem "Spring night is worth a thousand dollars in a flash", which has also been misunderstood by the world.
This poem comes from Su Shi's seven-character quatrain "Spring Night":
The first two sentences of the poem describe the quiet and pleasant night scene in spring, which is intended to warn people of the preciousness of good times. However, in the course of later generations, the meaning of "a moment in spring is worth a thousand dollars" has changed, and it is often used to describe the short-lived and precious pleasure of men and women in their bridal chamber or boudoir.
On the other hand, is there a sentence that was originally written about love, but it was misunderstood as writing about scenery? Sorry, there really is. The author is Su Shi.
Spring is the season when pear flowers and begonia flowers compete to open. Do you remember a poem: "A pear flower hits a begonia"? However, the poem you don't understand can't be misused, because it is actually Su Shi's erotic poem-Play for Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, married Jiao E, who was 65,438+08 years old, at the age of 80. This poem is just a mockery of his friend Su Dongpo. In the poem, white pear blossoms are used to imply Zhang Xian's white hair, and red begonia is used to imply the beauty of the bride. "A pear tree hits a begonia", which means "an old cow eats young grass".
Do you understand the original intention of Su Shi's three famous sentences?
