Japanese prince
Jade line, jade line,
It's time to stop and cherish,
It's better to drag out an ignoble existence than to die.
Full of love, no one knows,
But be open for a long time.
(translated by Luo Xingdian)
This harmony song is selected from Love Songs of the New Ancient Collection (volume 1 1). Prince in the author's formula (? -120 1) is the daughter of the third prince of Masahito (the 70th emperor), and a representative female singer in the collection of new and ancient times. Fujiwara no Toshinari, an innovative singer, is the first teacher of Prince Nai. She lived most of her life in the period of armed confrontation between Genji and Pingyi in Japanese history, and the court environment was also in fierce turmoil. In such a narrow and unfettered situation, she devoted herself to the creation of the choir. I've been single all my life. At the age of 44, I cut my hair and became a nun. I changed my name to "Cheng Rufa" and suddenly escaped into an empty net. He is the author of the collection of harmony songs "Prince in Formula".
"Jade line" is a string of beads, and the Japanese word "jade" is homophonic with "soul", which is a hanging word and symbolizes life. So it means: beaded line (lifeline), break it if you want! If you want to die, you should die, not drag out an ignoble existence. This seems absolutely impossible. The mental torture of survival is exhausting and painful, just like death.
This song is intended to express the passionate love and pain that I can't express in my heart. The original text is accompanied by a preface as a footnote: "This is a secret love song among hundreds of songs". "Unrequited love" refers to a loved one who is unknown, troubled alone and has a surging inner world. Looking back at the era of Japanese new and ancient collections, such a form of admiration is only regarded as a superior product in The Beauty of Love. The implication of its beauty is first embodied in the following aspects: life is short and impermanent, and only its "secret love" is the telepathic gesture revealed by impermanent fate, from which we can get a glimpse of the real interpersonal value that remains in the world; Secondly, to treat love, only by staying in the spiritual country and the spiritual journey of longing can we change into an unattainable and romantic aesthetic consciousness. If you can't reach it, hide it in your heart. Living or dead, far away, it will always exist in a state of pursuit, and it will always be regarded as something extremely sacred and noble, and it will always be regarded as love. However, once Shang Ruo's dream is realized, his vision and longing will vanish. His original intention is beautiful, and it is not difficult for him to end up with an ugly tragic ending under the constraint of reality. Therefore, only the secret love in the heart can be called a bitter but full and eternal beautiful world. Commentator Gong Dongeryun: "This song cuts into the psychological department and describes it smoothly. It's a realistic chorus. Although it is full of subjectivity, it is also objective and transparent. It is quite clear as the object of appreciation. "
The author personally experienced and witnessed the rise and fall of the peaceful regime in the history of "protecting Yuan and the incident" and the tragic ending of countless people around him. It is in such a cruel situation and experience that she deeply integrated her fickle religious nihilism into her love songs.
According to the data, Fujiwara is the son of Fujiwara no Toshinari, the teacher of Prince Honai, and a talented singer with deep affection. He settled down 65,438+00 years younger than Prince Honai. According to Fujiwara's Chinese diary "Moon", he often went to visit Prince Kazuo with his father, so they had a close and secret love relationship. Maybe this chorus is just a wave on the sea of love.
