Who's there? Who's there? Did Jade Qing sleep tonight?
The song "Picking Mulberry Seeds" written by Nalan Rong Ruo, the first one is about fairyland, and the second one is about the world. Heaven and earth, mortal fairies, music and books are all isolated, only the heart period.
The first sentence "Don't fly Joan for a long time" points out the taste of the fairy family. According to Taoist legend, the place where the immortals lived was surrounded by Xia Tong, so Xia Tong became the name of the fairy family. Fei Qiong is a fairy named Xu Feiqiong who lives in Yaotai and works as a maid for the Queen Mother of the West. It is said that there are more than 300 fairies living in Yaotai, and Xu Feiqiong is just one of them. She accidentally revealed her name to the mortal world in someone's dream, and she was very angry about it. According to the ancient tradition, the name of a girl's family is definitely not easy to display. Finally, the word "Fiqiong" refers to a letter, which means that I haven't received a letter from Fairy Xu Feiqiong of Xianjia Tianfu for a long time.
So, since there is no letter to spread, I wonder where the fairy is now? Why hasn't she written to me yet? What is she thinking? -Sing "Who is that man?" Then sigh.
"Jade Qing sleeps tonight" and "Jade Qing" are also fairy tales. In Taoism, the highest celestial body is Rhoda, and folklore has always said that Rhoda is a true fairy, while Jade Qing comes from Rhoda-Rhoda gave birth to three qi, which turned it into a three-clear heaven, that is, gave birth to three qi, namely, Xuan, Yuan and Shi, which turned it into three celestial bodies, namely Jade Qing, Qingqing and Taiqing. Now, we can often see the names of Luoda Palace, Yuqing Palace Palace and Shangqing Palace in some famous Taoist temples. These names all come from Taoist paradise legends.
Jade Qing is also the name of a fairy, leaving many beautiful stories on earth. According to the notes of the Tang Dynasty, Yu Qing's surname is Liang. We should call her Liang Yuqing. She is Vega's maid. In Qin Shihuang's time, Taibaixing sneaked away with Liang Yuqing and fled to a small fairy cave. 16 days didn't come out. The Emperor of Heaven was furious and prevented Liang Yuqing from being the maid of the Weaver Girl, and demoted her to Beidou.
However, both Yu Qingtian and Jade Fairy do not constitute contradictory explanations in their ci, and they can coexist in the same allusion. Then, "Jade Qing sleeps tonight", that is, Rong Ruo is thinking about the fairy: Are you as insomnia as I am in Jade Qing Heaven tonight? -Rong Ruo's own insomnia is the implied meaning in this sentence: It is because I didn't sleep that I doubt whether you are as insomnia as I am.
Is Rong thinking about immortals? Where are the fairies in this world? This is the image of the immortal family in the literati tradition. Fairy can refer to women in Taoist temple, and can also be used as a general term for women.
After all, when writing love poems, you can't call the woman you love by her first name, so there must always be some appellation, such as the above-mentioned Xie Niang. More examples are using ancient beauty names or legendary fairy names. As early as Song Yu's "Goddess Fu" and Cao Zhi's "Goddess Fu", the tradition of goddess (immortal) was initiated and continued, and the fairy family was closely related to Taoism. In the Tang Dynasty, royal aristocratic women became monks and Taoist priests. In the prosperous Tang dynasty, which was originally famous for its openness, Taoist temple often became a cultural salon for talented women, which made scholars and celebrities flock to it and produced a new generation.
Therefore, the image of the fairy gradually solidified into a cultural symbol, and many complex meanings were condensed into this small symbol, making the sentences of poetry shorter and more meaningful. With the accumulation of tradition, poetry is more and more like a symbol system. Only when we have the ability to roam in the same symbol system as poets can we appreciate the shallow and deep ambiguity in concise sentences of poetry. This is also the charm of poetry.
The next paragraph falls from the sky to the ground, from imagining the modality of the fairy to describing the self-state. "Cold residual lights extinguish incense", the room is cold, so the owner of the room must be cold, so why doesn't the owner of the room continue to light the extinguished incense, why doesn't he cover the quilt and sleep warmly, even if he sits alone at night, why doesn't he light the extinguished lamp again?
Because the owner of the room couldn't think of this, he just sat quietly in the dark room "quietly counting the autumn" and counting the days quietly. Maybe fairies should write? Maybe it's time to make an appointment? Maybe you will receive a letter from the fairy in a few days. The waiting days are always too hard, and the waiting time is always too long. Suddenly surprised, I found myself "mistaken for the last quarter."
Heart period, that is, wish. In this day-to-day suffering, how much time has passed unconsciously.
This last sentence is ambiguous and difficult to understand, but the meaning is clear. If we understand it by looking at photos, we can think that Rong Ruo and the fairy have an appointment on the full moon, but they have been waiting for it. Next, it's already the time of the last quarter; If we use "emptiness" to explain it, we can think that Rong Ruo symbolizes reunion with the full moon and defection with the last quarter moon. Life can never wait for the day when you meet your lover again. Day after day, he always spends it in pain.
I can't wait, and I'm thinking; I feel at ease, tossing and turning.
