China is a country of poetry. From the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, a collection of poems, the Book of Songs, appeared. The Book of Songs is a collection of poems for about 500 years. There are 305 poems we can see today, the best of which is love folk songs, which are part of the "wind". such as
This quiet girl is so cute that she will come to the corner of my town. Love but not see, scratch your hand. The quiet girl looks good. Give me a tong tube.
Red has a bright red color. Love it is really a bright color. This country exploits me, Meili Yi and is rare. It is not as beautiful as weeds, and beauty gives people deep affection.
The girl was bold and playful, and hid for the man to find, but the man was too eager to go to the meeting triumphantly at first, but when she arrived, the girl hid and scratched her ears and cheeks. Is he afraid that something will happen to the girl on the road? Or did the girl change her mind?
Second, exquisite smoothness and rough simplicity:
Some love ballads written after the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties are wonderful. A phenomenon at this time is that southerners and northerners are always very different. In fact, the influence of North and South cultures on China culture is very great. The main poets in the Tang Dynasty were almost all northerners, while the poets in the Song Dynasty, except Xin Qiji and Li Qingzhao, were all from Jinan, Shandong, and Zhu He was from Henan. The rest are southerners, and the culture has moved south. such as
Northern Folk Songs of Evil in Han Yuefu
Evil, I want to know you, and I want to live a long life. Mountains have no edges, rivers are endless,
Thunder in winter, rain and snow in summer, heaven and earth are one, but dare to break with you!
You see how rough and warm it is. My God, how loving it is? I loved you until the volcano erupted and I cried to the sky. I want to love you, and I hope this love can last long, so that this love will not fail. Will there be no peaks in the mountains? Will all rivers dry up? Will it thunder in winter? Will it snow in summer? Will heaven and earth meet? Only when those five impossible things happen will I break up with you. It is absolutely impossible to abandon you, absolutely impossible!
Third, in my heart forever and Li Shangyin's love swan song in Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty is the proudest era in the history of China, and the Tang poetry is also the most wonderful part of China literature, especially in its heyday.
Li Shangyin's Untitled:
The stars last night and the wind last night are in the west of the studio and the east of the cinnamon room; Without Cai Feng's wings, it is impossible to be Qi Fei in fly with me; The heart is like a soul, and the feelings are the same.
Through the wine of spring, when it warms me, I will remind you how to bet, where, one after another, we roll dice under the crimson light; Alas, it's time to call the roll in the morning when you hear the drums of the fifth watch; Riding to Lantai is like the wind in the wind.
Some people think that "Lantai" should be a secretary province, and Li Shangyin worked as a proofreader there in his thirties, so he should have written it in his thirties. I don't think this poem should be like that, because it is full of memories. Poetry is not so honest, poetry is ethereal. Last night's Stars and Last Night's Wind was that night many years ago. It seems that just yesterday, his subtle feeling about the wind was like last night's wind. Why does he keep saying "last night" and "last night"? It was many years ago that he emphasized "last night". "The west of the studio and the east of Guitang" is in the west of the painting building and the east of Guitang. This is where we date and fall in love. He is full of memories.
Li Shangyin's Untitled:
I met her a long time ago, but since we separated, the time has become longer, the east wind has started, and a hundred flowers are blooming; Spring silkworms think about everything until they die, and every night candles will cry the wick away.
In the morning, she saw her hair clouds changing in the mirror, but she dared to sing late songs in the moonlight; There are not many roads to Pengshan, and Jade Bird is looking forward to it.
Li Shangyin's Untitled:
You said you would come, but you didn't. You didn't leave me any other traces, except for the moonlight on your tower at five o'clock. Dreams are far away, crows and crows. I tried to read your hasty notes, and I found the ink was too pale.
Blue burns your candle in its kingfisher feather lantern, and a sweet breath sneaks away from your hibiscus embroidered curtain; But what I can't reach is the magic mountain. You are over there, beyond Wanfeng.
Li Shangyin's Untitled:
A misty rain blew from the east, and the wheels made a faint thunder on the other side of Furong Pool. The golden toad burns incense in the lock, and the jade tiger appeals to draw water in the rope.
Once, a great lady was behind a screen, preferring a poor young man. A fairy-like queen brought a bride pad to make a prince feel comfortable and then disappeared. Never mind the flowers, even this bright flame of love, is it only ashes? .
Li Shangyin's Untitled:
Empathy for Mochow Hall, ecstasy all night; The Wushan goddess of Chu was originally a dream; Qingxi is the residence of my sister-in-law, and there is no lang here.
The wind and rain are turning into rain, and who teaches Gui Yuexiang in the moonlight; Although fully aware of lovesickness, there is no good health; I am infatuated with it to the end and fall in love for life.
Fourthly, the swing in Song Dynasty and Li Qingzhao's homesickness.
In Song Ci, many of them are about swings. What happened? It is also sad that women are locked at home and their youth is dangling on the swing.
Love poems in Song Dynasty are often stories about songs and dances and geisha. There are many such loves, whether Zhou Bangyan and Li Shishi, Yan and Liu Yong, many of them are like this, including Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi. Let's feel what kind of life women lived at that time and see how the swing in the Song Dynasty was explained.
Ouyang Xiu:
How deep is the yard? The willow piles up smoke, but the curtain is not heavy. Jade music carving saddle tour smelting place, the building is not high, look at Zhangtai Road.
March storm, closing at dusk, not planning to stay in spring. Tears ask flowers silently, and red flies over the swing.
How deep is the yard? How deep is the yard? "The willow piles up smoke, and the curtain is weightless." This young woman must live in a very rich family. The willow tree in her house looks like a mist from a distance. Curtains are doors and windows, layer after layer. She lives a very rich life, but she is deeply locked in. "Yule" is a jade bridle, and the carved saddle is a carved saddle. This refers to her husband, who has run out. Where is the place to play in the "wild place"?
You can't see Zhangtai Road when the building is high. Zhangtai Road is a scenic spot in the Han Dynasty, which refers to the place where geisha shops are located. As a result, the woman was deeply shut up at home, only high above, expecting her husband to return. Her husband is fooling around while the woman just stays at home. It rains and winds in March. It's late spring, and the good days are almost over. We in China have strong feelings for spring and autumn. Why? Because China has a continental climate, spring and autumn are particularly short, especially in spring, when the spring is beautiful. In a beautiful spring, a woman's strongest wish is that her husband will come back, but it is already dusk in March and it is "raining wildly". The flowers are dying, and she waited for a day, so it was "dusk behind the door", and the day passed. Seeing that the helpless long night is coming again, "there is no plan to stay in spring", and there is no way to keep the pace of spring. Then she asked the flowers tearfully. Why did she ask the flowers? Because her fate and her youth are like flowers, but how can flowers talk? So "Red flies over the swing", flowers are flying all over the sky, and the swing is empty. This is the life of many women in the Song Dynasty, such as the life in the deep palace, and there is no youth at all.
Ouyang Xiu also has a slogan called "Qingyang Building swings out". What happened? The girl is probably at home, locked in the yard all day, impatient, so she swings high and swings out of the wall.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were not many good love poems. Why? One is that good poems have been written by others, which is a big reason, which is unsustainable. Another reason is that Ming and Qing literati are pedantic, and eight-part essays are literati. People who think they can do well in the eight-part essay exam must have no big feelings. They are scholars like Jin Fan and Zhou Jin. So there are really not many good poems.
Unfortunately, most of the poems in Ming and Qing Dynasties are mourning poems, and some of his words were not written with great feelings until people died, which is also the regret of ancient literati. Su Dongpo's and He Zuoxiu's mourning poems, Pan An's mourning poems, and Nalan Xingde's mourning poems are all very touching, so they still have feelings for their wives, but men don't want to express their feelings to their wives, as if they want to make money, and they can't help themselves when their wives die.
I really talked too much, and it finally boils down to two sentences. We just saw these poems. In the history of China, there is love everywhere and in every era. What people want most is emotional life, and I hope everyone can cherish it. There is a saying in Wang Shifu's "The West Chamber" that "all shall be well, jack shall have Jill", and I finally add "Be a lover for life"!
