Shang yang's original text
Evil!
I want to know you,
Live a long life and never give up.
A mountain without a grave,
The river dried up,
Thunder and earthquakes in winter,
Rain and snow in summer,
Heaven and earth,
I dare break up with you!
Translation of Regret for the Past
Oh, my god
I am eager to know and cherish you,
This heart will never fade.
Unless the majestic mountains disappear,
Unless the raging river dries up.
Unless thunder rolls in the cold winter,
Unless it is hot and snowy,
Unless heaven and earth intersect and converge,
I dare to abandon my good feelings for you!

Appreciation of Shang Yang
"Evil! I want to know you and live a long life. "
"Evil" means "God" and "knowing each other" means loving each other. This sentence means, "Oh, my God! I want to fall in love with you, so that our feelings will never break or rot. " In order to prove her perseverance, she listed five impossible variations in nature one after another: "There are no tombs in the mountains, no exhausted rivers, thunder in winter, rain and snow in summer, and heaven and earth are in harmony." It means: if you want to betray your vows, unless the mountains are flat and the water is dry, there will be thunderstorms in winter and heavy snow in summer, and heaven and earth will be one! . The heroines give full play to their imaginations, and each one is imaginative and incredible. By the time "heaven and earth meet", her imagination was out of control, and she aimlessly thought that the environment on which human beings depended for survival was gone. This irrational, exaggerated and grotesque fantasy is a special form for this spoony woman to express her love. These impossible natural phenomena are regarded by the lyric heroine as the condition of "leaving you", which means that "leaving you" is absolutely impossible. And the result? Only oneself and "Jun" love each other forever.
Write the whole poem without embellishment. The three words of "evil" are abrupt and imposing, swear by heaven and tell the truth, which not only shows the intense love, but also expresses the pent-up anger. The word "long life" is powerful, firm and full of loyalty. The word "desire" vividly shows women's character of resisting the shackles of ethics and pursuing a happy life. Although these three sentences have not been portrayed, the image of a true and firm, loyal and strong woman has clearly stood in front of the readers.
Wang Xianqian in the Qing Dynasty said: "If there are five things, then I can't be absolutely clear." This unparalleled way of expressing love in ancient and modern China and abroad can be said to be a masterpiece. The heroine in the poem reveals her heart in the form of vows and proves her loyalty to love with impossible natural phenomena, which is indeed very subjective. The poem is short and long, which is breathtaking. As Hu Yinglin said: "Bad words make you feel ill, short chapters are better!"
Zhang Yugu's five volumes of Appreciation of Ancient Poetry in Qing Dynasty commented on this poem: "The first three, the truth, the meaning, the last five, the opposite interpretation." Therefore, if you dare to refuse, you will never refuse. Repeatedly using five things, two in the same place, two in the weather, and talking about the mixture of heaven and earth, rushing through the customs in one breath, but not overlapping, the game is strange. " It can be said that every sentence makes sense.
From an artistic point of view, the lyric of Regret for the Past is full of romanticism, in which the desire for love is as overwhelming, magnificent and passionate as the eruption of magma. Reading the business association seems to be able to hear the voice of women's shortness of breath through lang lang's poems. Regret for the Past is a love chapter forged with blood and even life. The language and sentence patterns are short and mixed, which varies from situation to situation. Syllables are short and urgent, and words fluctuate.
Shang Yang had a great influence on later generations. Bodhisattva Man, written by Dunhuang Quzi Ci God, is obviously inspired by it in both ideological content and artistic expression: "I wish everything before my pillow, and I want to wait for the green hills to rot." Fish scales float on the water until the Yellow River turns completely orange. In the daytime, when Beidou returns to the south, he can't rest, and he can't see the sun until the third night. "Not only the pursuit of loyal and single-minded love and happiness is the same, but also the constant use of various impossibilities to explain an impossible artistic conception is exactly the same.
