Notes
Mawei (wéi), place name, the place where Concubine Yang Guifei hanged herself. "Tongzhi": "Maweipo is 25 miles away from Xingping County, Xi'an Prefecture." "Old Book of Tang·Biography of Concubine Yang": "Anlu Mountain rebelled and Tongguan fell. Fortunately, I arrived at Mawei. Forbidden Army General Chen Xuanli The prince secretly killed Guozhong and his son, and since the four armies were still alive, he said, "The thief is still here." /p>
Overseas disciples heard about Jiuzhou: This is used in Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" to mean "suddenly heard that there are fairy mountains overseas", referring to the fact that Yang Guifei lived on the fairy mountains overseas after her death. Although she heard the news that the Tang Dynasty restored Jiuzhou, people still God is separated and can no longer reunite with Xuanzong. "Merely heard", empty hearing, unfounded hearing. "More", again, and more. "Jiuzhou", the original annotation of this poem: "Zou Yanyun: Beyond Jiuzhou, there are Jiuzhou." During the Warring States Period, Zou Yan, a native of Qi, created the theory of "Nine States", saying that China is called Chixian Shenzhou, and outside China, it is like Chixian Shenzhou. There are nine more in the big place. This poem uses "overseas nine states" to refer to the imaginary wonderland. After Yang Guifei died, some alchemists said that she could be found in the fairy mountains overseas. See Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and Chen Hong's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". But after all, the legend of immortals was vague and could not give any comfort to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, so he said it was "only heard".
His life is uncertain: Chen Hong's "The Song of Everlasting Regret": Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei once said in the middle of the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, "we secretly vowed to each other, wishing to be husband and wife for the rest of our lives, holding hands and sobbing." But what about the afterlife? It is still unknown, but the couple in this life is already finished.
The tiger traveling in the sky heard the news of the night watchman, but there was no chicken man announcing the dawn: recalling the scene when Xuanzong fled from Shu. "Tiger Brigade" refers to the imperial army that followed Xuanzong into Shu. "Xiao Watcher", also known as Jin Watcher, is Diao Dou who reports the watch at night. "Chicken Man", the guard who tells the time in the palace. According to the system of the Han Dynasty, chickens were not allowed in the palace. Guards waited outside the Suzaku Gate and sang chickens. "Cho" is a time-keeping tool.
On this day, the six armies were stationed together in Ma: This is a description of the Maweipo Incident. Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow": "The six armies have nothing to do but die in front of the horses." At that time, the Chinese Valentine's Day laughed at the morning glory: It means that on July 7th, when Li and Yang were whispering in the Hall of Eternal Life in the middle of the night, they thought they were cowherds in the sky. , Weaver Girl can only meet once a year, not as much as they can be together every day.
How can the Emperor of the Four Dynasties be inferior to the Lu family with Mo Chou: These two sentences mock that although Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had been emperor for many years, he could not keep his concubines forever, and was not as good as ordinary people who could always stay together. "How", why. "Fourth Epoch", forty-eight years. The ancients used twelve years as a period, which refers to the forty-five years of Xuanzong's reign, which is nearly the fourth century. "Mo Chou of the Lu Family", Xiao Yan's "Song of Water in the River": "The water in the river flows eastward, and the daughter of Luoyang is named Mo Chou. Mo Chou was able to weave silk at the age of thirteen, and picked mulberries on the streets of the south at the age of fourteen. She married at the age of fifteen. The wife of the Lu family, whose name is Ahou. The orchid family of the Lu family is Liang, and there are tulips and storax in the middle. "This is a contrast between the happiness of the common woman Mochou's married life and the love tragedy of Yang Guifei.
Translation (Part 2)
It is said that in addition to the nine states in the world, there is also the Great Kyushu. I'm afraid that their destiny in this life has been exhausted, and their next life is still unknown. Staying together or separated, who knows. I recall that during the Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Ming was temporarily stationed in Mawei, he could hear the sound of gold towers in the sky, but could not see the prosperity of the palace. In just a few nights, things changed, people changed, and the stars changed. Unexpectedly, the jade beauty has become empty. The younger brother was dishonest, and the three armies killed his younger sister in anger. The sky that night was just like the sky that laughed at the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the Palace of Eternal Life that night. Unexpectedly, she was not even as good as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Come to think of it, the emperor is nothing more than this. He can't even protect his beloved. If I had known this, I would not be as good as Mochou Nu from the Xiao family.
