One of the original texts of Phoenix Begging for Phoenix:
There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget her.
I want to go crazy if I can't see you for a day.
The phoenix flies high, and the four seas seek to burn.
Helpless beauty, not in the east wall.
Use the piano instead of language. Tell me about it.
When to see Xu Xi, comfort me.
Willing to match virtue with words and work together.
I can't fly, which makes me fall.
Second:
Feng Feng returned to his hometown and traveled around the world looking for his death.
I didn't know what to do when I didn't meet Xi. Why don't I go to Sishang today?
There are beautiful women in the boudoir, and the people in the room are poisoning my intestines.
Why do you want to be a mandarin duck? You are flying!
Burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning.
Who knows in the middle of the night?
My wings fly high and my thoughts make me sad.
The first translation is Phoenix Begging for Phoenix;
There is a handsome and beautiful woman. I can't forget her appearance.
If I don't see her for a day, I'll go crazy.
I am like a phoenix flying high, looking for a phoenix all over the world.
It's a pity that the demure beauty doesn't live near my east wall.
I use the sound of the piano instead of the words in my heart. Just describe my heart.
When can I promise to get married and comfort my wandering lovesickness?
I hope my virtue is worthy of you and I will be with you for a hundred years.
Unable to fly with me, I fell into this kind of sadness and wanted to die.
Second:
Phoenix bird, Phoenix bird returned to their hometown, their whereabouts are unknown, and they traveled around the world to find the Phoenix bird in their hearts.
I didn't know where to go before I met a bird, so how can I understand my inner feelings after I came to the door today?
There is a beautiful and quiet woman in the dormitory, who lives near but far away, which makes me sad.
How can I be a affectionate mandarin duck and let my phoenix and your phoenix swim together!
Burning bird, burning bird, may you and I depend on each other, and * * * will always be my spouse.
Two hearts are one, who knows if they are together at night?
Spread your wings and fly away together. Missing you in vain makes me sad.
Appreciation of Phoenix Begging for Phoenix The first song expresses Sima Xiangru's infinite admiration and ardent pursuit for Zhuo Wenjun. Comparing Xiang Ru to Phoenix, he is even more an emperor than Wen Jun (Phoenix) has multiple meanings in the specific background of this poem. A phoenix is a legendary bird, the male is called Phoenix, and the female is called Phoenix. The ancients called forest, phoenix, turtle and dragon the "four spirits" of heaven and earth, and phoenix was the king of birds. "The Inscription of Yi Dynasty" says: "There are 360 species of feathered insects, and the phoenix is the longest." Evergreen admired Lin Xiangru's talent since childhood and changed her name to "Xiangru", which was already famous in the literary world at that time; Wen Jun is talented and handsome. She is by no means an idle woman. So that place is Phoenix, which means heroic and pretentious. "Traveling around the world" strengthens a layer of implication, which not only closely follows the myth and legend that Phoenix "started in the country of oriental gentlemen, flew across the four seas, crossed the Kunlun Mountains, drank the mainstay, weakened his feathers and stayed in the wind cave at dusk" (Guo Pu's note "Erya" quoted the sky as the old cloud), but also metaphorically refers to similar official travel experiences: before that, he had traveled to the capital and was appointed as a warrior knight by Jingdi. Recruiting scribes in Liang Xiaowang is like "living with all the students for several years" under its door. Later, because of the death of Liang Wang, the opposition to "returning home" explained that "good birds choose wood to live."
Secondly, the ancients often used "Feng Huang Yu Fei" and "chorus of husband and wife" to describe the beauty of husband and wife. For example, "Zuo Zhuan Zhuang Gong Twenty-two Years": "The wife of Chu Yi. His wife said that Ji means Feng Huang Yu Fei, harmonious and sonorous. " Here, just like the phoenix courting Wen Jun, "traveling around the world" means a rare couple. Third, Phoenix is related to music. Such as "Shangshu Yiji": "90% Xiao Shao, the phoenix comes to the instrument." The Legend of the Immortal also contains: Nong Yu, the woman of A Qin's mother-in-law, and her husband Shaw History play the flute, and the phoenix comes to stop in their house. The mother-in-law is a phoenix platform. Later, Nong Yu and his wife both left Phoenix. Therefore, Li He tasted the beauty of the music of "The phoenix cries when the jade is broken in Kunshan" ("The Songs of Yu Liping"). Wen Jun's elegant music, like the piano sound of "Looking for Phoenix", is only a metaphor to find a bosom friend with the heart of the piano, which reminds people of the music exchange between Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, thus giving off the feeling that a bosom friend is hard to find. The second song is bolder and more intense, secretly dating Wen Jun in the middle of the night and eloping together. "Breeding tail" refers to the mating of male and female birds and animals. Yao Dian in Shangshu: "When people lose time, birds and beasts breed tails." Biography says, "Emulation is the fruit, and handover is the end." "Princess", spouse. Say: "Princess, a horse." "Friendship and understanding", communication and affection, that is, love are congenial. Midnight, that is, midnight. The first two sentences call for Wen Jun to have a quiet marriage, while the third and fourth sentences imply that they love each other and elope overnight, and no one will know. Five or six sentences show that you are far away, reminding each other not to let me down, and feeling sorry for homesickness in vain. Gai Xiangru bribed Wen Jun's handmaid in advance, and knew Wen Jun's widowed mental state and ideal of love for a long time. Now he chose with his heart, so he dared to be so bold.
The reason why these two Qin Ge poems won the admiration of later generations lies in the strong anti-feudal thoughts expressed in Looking for Phoenix. For example, Wen Jun boldly broke through the snare of feudal ethics and patriarchal clan system, saying, "Without waiting for parents' orders and matchmakers' words, you will fall in love at first sight and climb over the wall with each other, then your parents and people will be mean." ("Mencius on Teng Wengong") What "women have the meaning of three obedience, and there is no special way." ("Book of Rites, Funeral") What "The husband has the intention of remarriage, and the woman has no second choice." (Ban Zhao's Women's Commandment) Sacred ceremonies such as "Men and Women ..." "Never Meet" (Book of Rites) and "Love each other" were trampled by Wen Jun's bold elopement and became a banner for young men and women in later generations to strive for marriage autonomy and love freedom. Try to see the influence of the power of example in later literature: In the West Chamber, Zhang sang "Phoenix Begging for Phoenix" through the wall, saying, "Although I won this song in the past, I hope Miss Wang will understand." In the wall of the horse, Li Qianjin defended her elopement with Wen Jun in front of her father-in-law. Pan Bizheng also incited Chen Miaochang and Qin Xin to combine privately in the Jade Hairpin. Qin Xin Ji directly put the story of Wen Jun on the stage ... which shows that Huang has a far-reaching anti-feudal influence. Secondly, artistically, these two Qin Ge songs with the theme of "Looking for Phoenix" not only contain passionate courtship, but also symbolize the extraordinary ideal, lofty purport and tacit understanding between the hero and heroine. The whole poem has shallow meaning, bright syllables and passionate feelings, which combines the beauty of Chu Ci with the freshness of Han folk songs. Even if it is a fake of later generations, it will not weaken its artistic value.

The Creation Background of Yellow
The Legend of Phoenix Seeking Phoenix is a guqin song in Han Dynasty, which interprets the love story between Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. Taking "phoenix seeking phoenix" as a perfect metaphor not only contains passionate courtship, but also symbolizes the extraordinary ideals, lofty purport and tacit understanding of the hero and heroine. The whole poem has shallow meaning, bright syllables and passionate feelings, which combines the beauty of Chu Ci with the freshness of Han folk songs. There are many poems, novels, songs and movies of the same name in past dynasties.
These two poems are said to be the lyrics of "Huang", just like singing on the piano. Because this poem was not included in Historical Records, it was not included until Xu Ling of the Chen Dynasty compiled Yutai New Poetry, and added a preface to explain that Lei Ju of Literature and Art in the Tang Dynasty and Yuefu Poetry in the Song Dynasty were also included, so it is suspected that it was written by a pianist in the Han Dynasty under the guise of Sima Xiangru. There are indeed many fakes in Qin Ge and other works, but it is difficult to find exact evidence to prove them. In this regard, we have to doubt.
According to his love story, later generations arranged "Phoenix Begging for Phoenix": Meeting is fate, lovesickness gradually entangles, and meeting is difficult. The mountain is high and the road is far, but it is only a thousand miles away. Because of dissatisfaction, the dream is empty, take a photo, ask Hongyan and pass it quickly. I like to open Kaifeng, hold a jade photo, and look at it carefully, but I see red lips, black eyebrows and watery eyes. How can infinite love be sued? Looking at the southeast, a phoenix asks for a phoenix.
