It is said that my daughter was my father's lover in his last life. Facing his daughter, the tough guy will become gentle, even the poet Yu Guangzhong is not immune. He once wrote My Four Imaginary Enemies, fearing that his daughter would be taken away by other boys when she grew up.
So, what is the experience of having a "slave" father? If there was Zhihu in the Jin Dynasty, Zuo Yuan and Zuo Zuo would definitely answer this question first. "Thank you for inviting me. My father is simply the representative of' slave girl'. Although we don't have a circle of friends to bask in the sun, my dad will write poems for us. "
And their father was Zuo Si, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Zuo Si's "Sandu Fu" once set an allusion to "Luoyang paper is expensive", and his poems also have the reputation of "Zuo Si Feng Li". His existing poems are 14, including eight poems about history, two poems about mourning for his sister, two poems about invitation and miscellaneous poems.
The other one is a little different. It's a poem written by a charming girl for my daughters. It is worth mentioning that Zuo Si has two daughters and two sons, but in poetry, the sons always have "no names".
There is a charming girl in my family who looks quite white. The fine print is Su Wan, and the speech is very clear. The temple is covered with a broad forehead, and the ears are like a wall. In the Ming dynasty, comb tables were set up to sweep eyebrows.
The first sentence at the beginning is "There is a charming girl in my family", and the word "I" expresses Zuo Si's pride as an old father. He has two daughters. The youngest daughter is Su Wan, and the eldest daughter is Fang Hui. The youngest daughter has a glib tongue, while the eldest daughter is reserved and loves beauty. Both daughters are white and lovely.
The youngest daughter's forehead is very wide, her temples will hang down to cover her, and her ears are round like a pair of jade walls.
Get up early in the morning, naughty Su Wan will imitate adults' makeup in front of the dresser. But she is all thumbs and often paints her eyebrows like brooms. Lipstick painting is not good, not only irregular but also beyond the scope of lips, and the color is too strong, which makes people laugh.
Besides makeup, Su Wan likes to imitate the handwriting of adults. She chose an expensive bronze official pen, but her writing looks like a ghost. She also studies because the cover is beautiful, and she will brag to others and make no secret of her gains.
After talking about the youngest daughter, Zuo Si immediately talked about the eldest daughter.
Her sister's name is Huifang, and she has a picturesque face. Light makeup likes the edge of the building, but forgets the spinning performance in the mirror. It's easy to set a Beijing omen. Playing between eyebrows and cheeks, drama and loom service.
The eldest daughter is picturesque and beautiful. She also loves beauty, can make up, and will not be as messy as her sister. She likes to wear light makeup by the window, but she is often too involved, so she just looks in the mirror and forgets to spin and weave.
During the Han Dynasty, Jing and his wife had a good relationship, and they would make thrushes for their wives every day. The eldest daughter imitates Zhang Chang's thrush and tries to "light" her eyebrows, that is, draw plum blossoms, crescent moons or dots.
But often the painting is not perfect, so I will erase it and start over, leaving a mark on my brow. Make-up is really hard work. Zuo Si looked at her daughter tracing back and forth on her face, feeling that it was several times more difficult than spinning and weaving.
The eldest daughter also likes dancing. She dances naturally and generously, and her loose sleeves are raised like birds spreading their wings. She also likes strings, and when she is addicted to playing the piano, she will roll up all those books on literature and history.
If you rush into the garden, you will pick all the fruits. The red flower is decorated with purple pedicle, and it is flat and sudden. In the storm of greed for China, there are many difficulties. Frost and snow plays are often accumulated.
When two daughters are together, they are even more naughty. In summer, the two sisters often run around in the garden. They will pick immature fruits and fight them. In order to enjoy the flowers, I will go to see them hundreds of times, even if it rains or blows.
In winter, they must play in the snow. In order to prevent the shoes from falling off, they tied many shoelaces on them.
Sometimes, they will sit quietly and help adults with food, but not for long. As soon as they heard what was happening outside, they even forgot to put on their shoes and started running.
Besides flowers, food attracts them. Facing the hot rice in the pot, they will stop. Because I am in a hurry to eat delicious food, I will blow on the fire. I hope the rice will be cooked soon. But their clothes suffered. Their white sleeves were stained with oil and their clothes turned black.
The two daughters are used to being willful and naughty, and adults can't stand a little blame. Occasionally, I caught a glimpse that I was going to be beaten. I immediately covered my face with my hand and wiped my tears against the wall.
I wrote many poems. I think Zuo Si must have finished this song with a smile. He didn't use too many words, and the images of his two daughters were charming, naughty and full of energy. On the surface, the old father blames his daughter for being naughty, but his heart is full of love.
Tan of the Ming Dynasty commented: "Every word is a woman, and every word is a charming mother. Do your best. " Some people think that this poem is a "rare pearl" in the history of China's poetry, which is contrary to the concept of son preference.
So what kind of story does Zuo Si have besides doting on her daughter? In fact, there is a very appropriate sentence-"I am ugly but I am gentle."
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, gfd was paid attention to. In Shi Shuo Xin Yu, there was a special article about gfd, a famous person. For example, Xia Houxuan is described as "Lang Lang is like holding the sun and the moon", and Ji Kang is described as "If the rock is solitary and loose, if Russia is like Yushan, it will collapse".
Pan Yue is so handsome that women in the street will throw her a lot of fruit. Wei Jie was "watched to death" alive for his extraordinary appearance. But Shi Shuo Xin Yu is not very friendly to Zuo Si. The book says "Zuo Taichong is absolutely ugly", saying that he used to wander around like Pan Yue, but was spurned by women and finally returned in frustration.
It is also recorded in the Book of Jin that Zuo Si is "dull in appearance". From this point of view, Zuo Si does not seem to have the characteristics that were popular at that time.
First of all, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the gate valve prevailed, and Zuo Si was born in poverty. After his sister Zuo Fen was elected to the palace, his family moved to Luoyang. It is worth mentioning that Zuo Fen's appearance is not so good, because his knowledge was named your daughter. Secondly, left thinking is ugly, which does not conform to the aesthetics of celebrities at that time. Moreover, it was popular to speak freely in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the eloquence of celebrities also played a key role, but he was helpless in words.
Fortunately, Zuo Si's literary talent is outstanding, and his poetry is enough to make his name spread to future generations. He wrote eight poems about epic poems to express his feelings and ideals by chanting history. In the poem, he voiced for the "poor scholars" and described them as "pine and cypress at the bottom of the shady ravine, leaving seedlings on the mountain", but they were humble only because "the terrain made them, and the origin was not once."
Probably because of my childhood experience, Zuo Si is not good at words, but he is very gentle at heart. Especially for his daughter. He did not ask them to be well-behaved ladies, but encouraged the children's nature, recorded their happy childhood in words and shared it with us in future generations.
