In the Hong Kong version of "Journey to the West", Zhu Bajie fell in love and repeatedly recited "Ask what love is in the world, and teach you whether to live or die." "This phrase.
I believe everyone has heard the saying "Ask what love is in the world, and you will learn how to make love between life and death." Many people often use this sentence to express their emotions.
However, many people do not know the origin of this sentence, and they do not know that the original author of this sentence did not write it for people.
"Ask the world, what is love? Directly teach life and death to make promises" comes from "Moyu'er·Yanqiu Ci" written by Yuan Haowen, a writer in the Jin Dynasty. The full word is as follows:
Back then, Yuan Haowen, who was only sixteen years old, met a man hunting geese on his way to Bingzhou to take an exam. The man told Yuan Haowen that he had caught a wild goose that morning and killed it. At this time, the other goose could have escaped from the snare, but unexpectedly it screamed and refused to leave, and later hit the ground and committed suicide.
Yuan Haowen couldn't help but feel emotional after hearing this story, so he wrote the poem "Moyu'er·Yanqiu Ci".
In this poem, Yuan Haowen gave an in-depth and detailed description of the story of the wild goose who died for love, and then used tragic environmental descriptions to create an image of the wild goose who was loyal to love and accompanied him in life and death. It composes a sad, touching and touching love song.
In fact, both geese and humans will show their persistence and dependence on their loved ones through life and death.
What is valuable is that at such a young age, the author was able to understand the profound meaning of the word "love" from a story told by a passerby, and he was able to write such a beautiful sentence and pass it down to future generations. His talent is truly remarkable. No.
Speaking of Yuan Haowen, there is another story about poetry creation.
One day, he was walking by the lotus pond and heard the sweet singing of the lotus-picking girl. He suddenly became interested and waved to the lotus-picking girl.
He shouted loudly: "Is there anyone willing to give me a ride?" The lotus picking girls had already seen Yuan Haowen, but they laughed loudly and then left. Not long after, the lotus pond became quiet again.
Yuan Haowen was very confused. Why did all the lotus picking girls leave? At this time, an old man came from the shore in a small boat.
Yuan Haowen hurriedly got on the old man's boat, and then asked the old man why the lotus picking girls here were avoiding him, as if they were particularly afraid of strangers. The old man told Yuan Haowen that because a strange thing happened here this year, women were a little shy about it.
Yuan Haowen was curious about what happened, so he asked about the reason while admiring the lotus. The old man sighed and said, "People have drowned here." Then he added that the people who drowned were a young man and woman. Yuan Haowen thought to himself that drowning people in water is common, but if a man and a woman were drowned at the same time, there must be some story behind it.
The old man told Yuan Haowen that they were a man and woman in love, but their families did not agree. Despite their begging, they still met with opposition from their families, so they disappeared together. Their families thought they had eloped, so they asked the government to help find them, but they couldn't find them. Not long ago, a lotus collector discovered them in the water.
Seeing the regret on the old man's face, Yuan Haowen's heart became heavy.
When he got off the boat, Yuan Haowen left a poem to the old man and asked him to remember the poem and let the lotus picker girl sing it to express his infatuation for the couple. The respect of children.
The old man smiled and said to Yuan Haowen: "Please rest assured, this poem is called 'Moyu'er', also known as 'Maipitang'. There are 116 characters in the poem, and the old man has memorized them one by one. In my heart, I will sing it to you again."
This poem is praised by later generations as the companion piece to "Moyu'er·Yanqiu Ci".
In fact, Yuan Haowen is not just a poet, he is also a brilliant literary theorist. His "Three Poems", "Essays with Doctor Zhang Zhongjie", and "Postscript of Xiao Li Ze Series" ", etc., almost summarizes various poetry styles and important poets since the Han Dynasty. All comments are concentrated in seven-character poems. The comments are not only accurate but also brilliant in literary talent. "Using poems to discuss poems" continues Du Fu's style. In addition, his qualities as an official, fair and honest, open-minded and not bowing to the secular world are also recorded in history books.
Interestingly, before Yuan Haowen passed away, he ordered his descendants to inscribe only seven words on the tombstone behind him: "The Tomb of the Poet Yuan Haowen." Right and wrong during life, who can control it after death? The title of poet is enough.
Does this kind of behavior give us a sense of romance and mystery?
