2. Original text:
Qiulan Elks are growing wild, and Luo is growing under the hall;
Green leaves are blooming, and they are fragrant and beautiful;
The lady has a beautiful son, why is Sun [sūn] so sad;< /p>
Autumn orchids are green, and the green leaves are purple stems;
The hall is full of beauties, and suddenly they are alone with the rest;
You enter without saying a word when you leave, and you take advantage of it. The returning wind carries cloud flags;
There is no sorrow in separation, no joy in new acquaintances;
Lotus clothes carry luxuriant belts, and they come and go suddenly. ;
Lying in the evening on the outskirts of the emperor's empire, who is the king who needs to watch the clouds;
I bathe in the salty pond with my daughter, and my daughter's hair is exposed to the sun;
Looking at the beauty in the future, singing in the wind;
The hole is covered with green trees, climbing up to the nine days to caress the comets;
The long sword is hugging the young moxa, and the sun is shining [sūn] It is only appropriate for the people to be upright.
3. Interpretation:
Autumn orchids and fine-leafed rhizomes are scattered throughout the courtyard below the hall.
The tender green leaves are sandwiched with small white flowers, and the fragrance is blowing towards your face.
People have their own good sons and daughters. Why are you so worried?
Patches of autumn orchids are green and lush, with purple stems of flowers protruding from the tender green leaves.
The whole hall was full of beauties welcoming the gods, and suddenly they all greeted me and expressed their love.
When I came, I was speechless and didn’t say goodbye when I left. I rode the whirlwind and raised the banner of clouds.
There is nothing sadder than a living farewell, and nothing happier than a new acquaintance.
Wearing lotus clothes and tying a lotus belt, I suddenly come and suddenly go away.
When you stay in the countryside of the Emperor of Heaven at dusk, who are you waiting for to stay among the clouds for a long time?
I will wash my hair with you in the salty pond where the sun is bathing, and dry my hair where the sun rises.
Looking at the beauty from afar, the beauty still hasn’t arrived. I sing into the wind in a trance and resentment.
The car hood is made of peacock feathers and the kingfisher feathers are decorated with flags. You ascend to the nine heavens and hold the comet.
With one hand holding the sword upright and the other hand holding the child horizontally, you are the best person to be the person in charge!
4. Appreciation of "Nine Songs·Shao Siming"
"Nine Songs·Shao Siming" is a song and dance poem to worship the god Shao Siming. Shao Siming is the god in charge of children in the world; she is a young and beautiful goddess. Because she is in charge of children, she is called "Shao Siming". Luoyuan of the Song Dynasty said: "The young master is the one who orders his master's descendants." (Erya Wings) Wang Fuzhi followed his words. Wang Fuzhi also said that in ancient times, "the childless people of Fu (Zu) worshiped Gaozi. The great minister and the younger minister were both worshiped in their name by Chu customs." ("Tongshi of Chu Ci") Shao Siming evolved from Gao Ji and is a goddess. "Notes·Yue Ling" in the second month of spring: "The black bird arrives. On the day of arrival, Tailao (three animals of cattle, sheep, and pigs) are enshrined in Gaozi. The emperor goes there in person. The concubine is handsome and the nine concubines are in charge. They are the emperor's emperor and bring them with them. Give him a bow and arrows, and give him a bow and arrows. "Zheng Xuan notes: "The one who is under the control of the emperor is said to be pregnant... He is given a bow and arrows to pray for the good fortune of the man." Zhengyi said: "Sacrifice. After the Gaozi is completed, the Zhuguan is the one who greets the emperor's keeper who is lucky enough to be pregnant...it is his responsibility to take the person under his control with a bow and teach him how to use the bow and arrow before the Gaozi." It can be seen that the ancient Gaozi was That is, the god of seeking children. In essence, Gaozi is responsible for life, and Siming is responsible for death. Therefore, among the people of Qi and Chu, Siming is called "Da Siming", while Gaozi is called "Little Siming". Zheng Xuan's annotation of the origin of Gaozi said that "Xuanniao left an egg, and Ao Jiandi swallowed it and formed a contract. The queen regarded it as a matchmaker, and Jiaxiang built its shrine. Changing the matchmaker to talk about Gaozi is a sign of God." As far as China is concerned, swallows come from the south to nest in other people's houses in spring, when the weather is warm, making it easy to bathe, and the spring is warm and flowers are blooming, which makes people more interested, so there are many pregnant women. Then Gao Zhen was originally the god of Si Zisi.
This chapter is a duet between Shao Siming (who pretends to be Shao Siming's spirit son) and the wizard (in the voice of Da Siming). At the end of the poem it says: "Sunun alone is suitable for bringing justice to the people", so the last stanza is the libretto of the wizard.
