The original text is as follows: Su Yun) ... I haven't been to Nanjing for three years, and suddenly I am very happy to go to the city to sell firewood; When I passed the Xiaoling Mausoleum, I saw the Treasure City Appreciation Hall, which was later A Mu Governance Field.
(Liu Yun) Ah, what about the Imperial City?
(Su Yun) The walls of the empire collapsed and wormwood was everywhere.
(Zangai tears, cloud) Unexpectedly, this is the end of the story.
Su Yun: I walked all the way to Qinhuai again and stood there for a long time, but there was no one there.
The old courtyard of Changqiao (Liu Yun) is a familiar place for us to visit. You should see it, too.
(Su Yun) Why don't you look-there are no slates on the long bridge, only a pile of rubble is left in the old yard.
(Liu beats his chest, cloud) Alas, I am so afraid of death!
(Su Yun) Looking back in a hurry, I was sad all the way and compiled a set of northern songs called "Sorrow for Jiangnan". Wait for me to sing (tapping the board and singing Geyang accent) What a woodcutter! (singing)
[Beixin Shuiling] Mountain pine weeds picked up with flowers and suddenly looked up to Fuling. The remnant army leaves the abandoned base, and the thin horse lies empty. Guowa Village, a city facing the sunset.
[Listening to horses in the station] Wildfires burn frequently, and most grave keepers are burned. The goat has escaped. When will the guardian escape? Pigeon feathers and bat droppings were thrown all over the house, and dead branches and leaves were used as step covers. Who will sweep it? The shepherd broke the dragon hat.
[Indulge in the East Wind] Eight columns are horizontal and white, and the red mud is half as high as the wall. There are more broken glazed tiles and fewer rotten jade windows, and dancing Dan is always in the morning. Put mugwort all the way to the palace gate and live with some beggars.
[The laurel-folding order] asked the old window of Qinhuai, where the broken paper was facing the wind, the sill was rotten and the eyes were broken. Where did Dai Li sing Xiao in those days? It's boring to turn off the lights and boats and stop the noise. Bai Niao is fluttering, green water is surging, some yellow flowers are flying, and no one can see the new red leaves.
[Selling wine] Do you remember the Qingxi Banli Bridge? There are no old red boards, and there are too few people in the autumn water. There is no one at sunset, leaving a weeping willow.
[Taiping Order] When we get to the old gate, why tap? I'm not afraid of some puppies. It's nothing more than a dry well and a nest, just some bricks and moss. Plant flowers and willows by hand, and pick firewood. Whose kitchen stove is this black ash?
[Take a break and leave the pavilion banquet] I once saw the jade palace in Jinling singing, and the waterside pavilion in Qinhuai bloomed early, but it was easy to melt! Watch him rise from Zhu Lou, watch him entertain guests, and watch his building collapse! This mossy pipa pile, I used to sleep happily and watch the rise and fall of 50 years. That Wuyi Lane is not surnamed Wang, Mochou Lake is a night crying ghost, and Phoenix Terrace is an owl. Remnant dreams are the truest, and the old world is hard to lose. Don't trust this map. A set of mourning for Jiangnan, playing sad songs to the old.
(Praise is to hide tears, cloud) Wonderful is wonderful, and how many tears have I caused.
About the author: Kong (1648-1718), whose real name is Ji Chong, whose nickname is Dongtang, and whose nickname is Antang, calls himself a mountain man. A native of Qufu, Shandong Province, he was the sixty-fourth grandson of Confucius, a poet and opera writer in the early Qing Dynasty.
His life can be roughly divided into three stages.
1. Former official stage: Before the age of 37, I lived a life of raising relatives and studying at home. He contacted some adherents of Nanming and learned a lot of first-hand historical materials and anecdotes about the rise and fall of Nanming. He was interested in writing a historical drama reflecting the rise and fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and began to conceive and try to write Peach Blossom Fan, but "only painted its outline, not decorated its algae" (the background of Peach Blossom Fan).
Second, the official stage: 1684, Kangxi visited the south and returned to the north, especially to pay homage to Confucius in Qufu. At the age of 37, Kong gave lectures at the Imperial Command and was appreciated by Kangxi. He was awarded a doctorate and went to work in Beijing. At the age of 39, he was ordered to go to Jiangnan to control water for four years. During this period, he almost traveled all over Nanming's hometown, made close friends with a large number of Ming adherents with national integrity, accepted their patriotic thoughts, and deepened his understanding of the history of the rise and fall of Nanming. He actively collected materials and enriched the creative thinking of Peach Blossom Fan. In the 29th year of Kangxi (1690), he was transferred back to Beijing, where he served as Dr. imperial academy, director of the household registration department and foreign minister of Guangdong. After a lifetime of hard work, Kong finally wrote Peach Blossom Fan at the age of 52 in the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi. At that time, Luoyang paper was expensive, and it was not only performed frequently in Beijing, but also spread to remote places. Even in the beautiful place where Chu (now Hefeng County, Hubei Province) was "forbidden in the mountains", there were performances (Peach Blossom Fan). In March of the following year, Kong was dismissed from office, and "Bo's life was hated, and those who kept his mouth shut were slandered" ("Rongmei Tusi Tian Shunnian sent poems to praise the legend of peach blossom fans, but sent them according to rhyme"). Judging from these poems, he was dismissed from office this time, probably because he wrote Peach Blossom Fan.
Three. Seclusion stage: after Kong was dismissed from office, he stayed in Beijing for more than two years and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. In the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi (17 18), this famous playwright died in Shimen, Qufu at the age of 70. His works, as well as poems such as The Legend of Xiao, The Collection of Hu Hai, An, and The Collection of Liu Chang, co-edited with Gu Cai, have been handed down from generation to generation.
