Creation background
This word was written in the first year of Xichun (1 174). Fan Chengda Chronicle of Confucius, the first year, "In late autumn, there will be a large number of books from Zhou Bi. Zhou's Manuscript Collection of Literary Loyalists (Volume 6) Volume 2:' ... Today in Guilin. Finally, the "Chinese Valentine's Day" article, especially the way of doing human kindness, will be covered later. It's amazing! It's amazing!

Literary appreciation
The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is a household name. For thousands of years, there have been many excellent poems describing the cowherd and the weaver girl. This song by Fan Dacheng is described with a unique perspective and rhetorical devices, and it is a masterpiece of Song Ci.
"One night, two stars, lazy farming and weaving, should be the envy of the gods." The first three sentences, just a dozen words, show people the night view of Qixi where the cowherd and the weaver girl meet at the Queqiao Bridge. "Double Star Beauty" is written that Tanabata is a wonderful time for cowherd and weaver girl to meet. After waiting day and night for a year, it is both gratifying and sad to have this one-night stand. "Idle Plowing Weaver Girl" describes the mode of Niu girl, one is lazy to plow and the other is lazy to spin. Both sides are looking forward to meeting each other as soon as possible to comfort the suffering of lovesickness. Looking up at the starry sky, the milky way is brilliant, the cowherd has no intention of farming, and the weaver girl has no intention of spinning. Just for this annual party, even the fairies in the sky are jealous. "Should be the envy of the gods". On this festival, after all, two people can meet each other, which makes the gods in the sky very jealous. Chang 'e in the moon palace frowned, and Aunt Feng was even more jealous. The phrase "Juanjuanyue's sister is full of eyebrows" actually describes the weather situation this evening. The crescent moon is like an eyebrow, and there is wind and rain. The poet personified the beautiful Chang 'e, frowning and thinking that she was lonely because of meeting. Who let himself be insatiable and take the elixir of life, can only stay in the cold Guanghan Palace and keep company with Yutu. What's even more exasperating is that Aunt Feng is windy and rainy. With the "jealous" behavior of the two goddesses, it reflects the deep affection, the rationality of love, and the difficulty of meeting. The first part of the poem is mainly to sketch a picture of magpies meeting the bridge for readers, and compare the beauty of Good Night with the precious love of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl by writing the envy of the immortals. It can be seen that the immortal is not out of touch with the fireworks on earth, but also longs for the truth on earth.
"Meeting each other in a hurry, fighting for meeting each other, and stirring up the mood of parting" The poet turned a layer here, focusing on depicting the mentality of cattle and women's gains and losses, further personifying the mythical nature. On the surface, it seems that "rushing to a meeting" is not as good as "taking a break"; Because it will "rekindle the mood of parting." But in essence, they are all willing to pay many years' expectation for this "meeting in a hurry", which is their will. Obviously, in their own view, "meeting in a hurry" is precious and worth cherishing. What "re-stirring the mood of separation" is just a piece of cake. Moreover, this is just an outsider's guess on the sidelines, and their clients may not have so much thoughts. It is obviously meaningful for the poet to imagine in one layer: only those who deeply appreciate the long-term worries in the world and feel the value of "society" can describe Niu You's masterpiece so profoundly. There is neither the euphemism of tenderness nor the dream of ritual, nor the sadness of "repairing the bridge and returning home". It is not easy to get together once a year, but the hasty meeting has disturbed the feelings of parting in the past. After a long separation, I realized that it is not easy to meet at this moment, not only as a fairy, but also as a mortal. Here, the description of Cowherd and Weaver Girl's Tanabata Meeting is also the parting of the world.
The words "new love is not worth the old sorrow, but the new sorrow is gone" were written immediately after the other, depicting the encounter between the cowherd and the weaver girl to a deeper level. "Meet each other late, race against time", one-night meeting is really too short for people who love each other, and it is really difficult to fill two broken hearts that love each other. It's just that they came in a hurry and went in a hurry, just like a gust of wind sweeping a calm heart lake, causing waves, thus issuing a word of resentment of "fighting for breath." 365 days a year, people leave each other day and night, and it is not easy to get together at Tanabata, but it is inevitable to disturb the old grievances of separation. How short the new love is, how heavy the old sorrow is. With this smell every year, this year's short meeting is likely to become an old worry next year. Really, the old sadness did not disappear, and the new sadness appeared again. It was a long time before I met her, but it was longer since we broke up.
In the Song Dynasty, the words describing the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were mostly titled "Queqiao Fairy". This song by Fan Chengda compares the tragic love of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl with the plot of envy and hatred between immortals by rhetorical devices, which is quite creative. The language of the whole word is simple and unpretentious, and the language is not surprising and endless. As the saying goes, gorgeous is dull, and the fairy story is described with the true feelings of the world.
In this poem, the poet describes that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet once a year and are envied by the immortals, and discusses the gains and losses of their "meeting in a hurry", profoundly revealing that the tragedy of the separation of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is a never-ending tragedy. In such a tragedy, meeting in a hurry is very precious. This far-sighted revelation shows that the poet's understanding of the love of the cowherd and the weaver girl is more real, and naturally it is much deeper than sympathy or lament. Compared with previous poems on the theme of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, this word is also different in conception. Ouyang Xiu's Queqiao Fairy aims to highlight "relying more on God's will than the suzerain's will", and Qin Guan's main idea is "If two feelings last for a long time, they will seize the day". If Ouyang Xiu's poems express human feelings through fairy tales, and Qin Guan's feelings are caused by fairy tales, then Fan Chengda's poems express fairy tales with human feelings.
In addition, this poem is very artistic, which shows the endless and insightful love tragedy of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and contrasts, highlights and deepens the love tragedy of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl with the comedy plot of Aunt Chang 'e's jealousy. The language of the whole poem is unpretentious and has no flowery rhetoric, which is similar to its pastoral style. Qin Shaoyou's "Queqiao Fairy" wrote that the essence of love is true love, no matter how vast the sky is, how long the time is, and how elegant love is; But people's hearts are always people's hearts, and endless separation and endless tragedy are by no means unbearable for people's hearts. Therefore, the word Fan Chengda has been loved by people for thousands of years because of its deep psychological reasons. Qin Ci's high sentiment and easy tone are rare, and it is called "special case". Model words are universal because they express the general feelings of ordinary people. Xie Li's "Queqiao Fairy" says: "The flat land on earth is also rugged, but it's a pity that Han Yin has never been stormy!" Unexpectedly, I think the love between cows and girls is eternal without wind and waves; Its sharp contrast is an unfortunate manifestation of people. The same theme, different perspectives, each has its own merits, so Etymology is enduring.
Famous comments

The following three sentences are followed by the above. Chang 'e frowned because of it, and Xi 'an made trouble because of it. This is a concrete manifestation of their jealousy of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. Poets have novel ideas and wonderful sentences. The next film changed its perspective and cut into the characters from the perspective of the cowherd and the weaver girl. In the first three sentences, the scene where they met didn't have much pen and ink, only a little passed by, and the scene of Queqiao's departure was even ignored. The poet's brushwork directly touches the inner world of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. Tanabata for a while, a short encounter makes people hate, it is better to disappear. This situation has gone beyond the scope of myth and turned to the separation of people. The last three sentences go further, highlighting that such tragedies are staged from generation to generation in heaven and earth, and there is no end. In reality, the opposite of myth is the separation of husband and wife. The poet emphasized that God is powerless under such circumstances, let alone a secular person. This word is simple and imaginative. Ci combines the poet's perception of myth and life, with unique techniques and exquisite conception, which can be called ingenuity. [8-9]
Brief introduction of the author
Fan Chengda (1126—1193) was born in Shihu, Wuxian (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). Song Gaozong Shaoxing was a scholar in the 24th year (1 154). He has served as magistrate, Jingjiang magistrate, ambassador of Heping in southern Guangxi, ambassador of Sichuan Province and political adviser. During his tenure as a local official, he paid attention to good governance and reduced the burden on the people. Avenue for six years (1 170), I went to the state of Jin with the title of living in Lang and pretending to be a university student, so that I could maintain national integrity and return without disgrace. In the ninth year of Xichun (1 182), he abdicated and lived in his hometown of Shihu, Suzhou.
Fan Chengda is a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he is also known as one of the four great poets in the Southern Song Dynasty with You Mao, Yang Wanli and Lu You. His ci is not as extensive as poetry, mainly expressing leisurely life and depicting pastoral scenery. But there are also some words that express the feeling that ambition is difficult to achieve and the fear that the country will be divided. There are Fan Shihu's poems, Shi Hu's ci and miscellaneous notes. There are more than 80 words. A Qing poet Chen Tingzhuo said: "The syllables of Shihu Ci are the most euphemistic. After reading Jiaxuan Ci, reading Shi Hu Ci will be calm. " Although the prototype words are not as impassioned as symplectic words, they can sometimes send out social feelings, which is quite sad.
