Xiang Jun
If you can't do it, stay in Zhongzhou.
Beauty needs repairing, and I want to take a boat.
Yuan Xiang has no waves, and the river flows safely.
Looking ahead, who will think about it?
Drive the flying dragon to the north and drive my way to Dongting.
Ficus pumila, cypress and silk, sun, radial and blue.
Looking at the sun, I am extremely ordinary, and I am eager to recharge my batteries.
Yangling is not very high, while female Chanyuan is breathless.
I shed tears and muttered, I miss you and worry about you.
The laurel is blue and the ice is white.
Pick Ficus pumila in the water, hibiscus and sawdust.
The heart is different, the media is in trouble, and the grace is not shallow.
The stone wrasse is shallow, and the dragon is graceful.
If you are unfaithful, you will complain for a long time, and if you don't believe it, you will not be idle.
In the morning, the river is high, and in the evening, the festival is in the north.
The bird is above the house and the water is below the hall.
Donate Yu Jun to the middle of the river and leave Yu Peixi to Lipu.
If you marry Zhou Fang Xi Du Ruo, you will inherit Xi's daughter.
It's too late to think about it again, and it's hard to talk about it.
Among Qu Yuan's Nine Songs, Xiang Jun and Mrs. Xiang are the two works with the most interesting life and romantic color. While people appreciate and admire its unique southern customs and touching artistic charm, they are puzzled by the true identity of Mrs. He Xiang and have a long discussion and debate.
From the related ancient books in the pre-Qin period, although "Two Daughters" and "Xiangling" are mentioned in Songs of the South and Dongting Mountain ... There is a saying in Shanhaijing that "the emperor's two daughters lived in the source of the river", there is no mention in Shanhaijing that she died for her southern tour, and there is no mention in Postscript that Mrs. Xiang drowned in pursuit of her. The initial combination of the two is Historical Records of Qin Shihuang. It is recorded in the book that when Qin Shihuang cruised to Xiangshan (now Junshan in Dongting Lake), he "asked the doctor,' What is the God of Xiang Jun?' The doctor said to him, "Yao's daughter, Shun's wife, is buried here." Later, Liu Xiang's Biography of Lienv also said that Shun "died between Jiang and Xiang, which is commonly known as". This clearly pointed out that it was Shun's two concubines, but not Mrs. Xiang. When Wang Yi made a note for Chu Ci in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the second concubine was a woman, she was only suitable to be Mrs. Xiang, so she was called "the God of Xiang Water". For this explanation. Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty was not satisfied. In the tablet of Huangling Temple, he thought it was, because it was a princess, so he was called "Jun". Nv Ying is the second princess, so she is called "madam". After the Song Dynasty, Hong Xingzu's Supplementary Notes on Chu Ci and Zhu's Collection Notes on Chu Ci all followed this theory. The advantage of this statement is that she and Mrs. Xiang belong to two people, which avoids the trouble of calling Mrs. Xiang a concubine, but it still fails to solve the gender difference between them, thus leaving difficulties for interpreting the obvious love between men and women in the works. In view of this, Wang Fuzhi adopted a more comprehensive view in the interpretation of Chu Ci in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, that is, he would describe it as the God of Xiang Shui and take his wife as his spouse, instead of sticking to the legend of Shun and his second wife. It should be said that this understanding is more in line with the actual work, so it is also desirable.
Although the legend of Shun and Fannie and Freddie has brought many difficulties to the exploration of the couple's skills, if the legend was widely circulated when Qu Yuan wrote Nine Songs, then the legend is completely consistent with the creation area. The word in Mrs. Xiang is easily reminiscent of Yao's second daughter, taking into account some legendary factors such as Shun and Freddie's wandering mountains and rivers and meeting for no reason. Therefore, we should not only pay attention to the possible influence of legends on the works, but also not stick to the specific personnel of legends, which should be the basic point for us to understand and appreciate these two works.
From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that, as a song to worship the gods, Xiang Jun and Mrs. Xiang are a connected whole, and can even be regarded as two parts of the same movement. This is not only because the two works are secretly linked as "Zhu Bei" in the same place, but also because their last paragraphs are almost identical in content and meaning, so that they are considered as the chorus of the singer during the sacrifice (see the note "Qu Yuan Fu").
This song "Xiang Jun" was sung by the actor of the goddess, expressing the complex feelings of disappointment, doubt, sadness and complaint caused by the failure of the male god to arrive as scheduled. In the first paragraph, the beautiful Mrs. Xiang, dressed up, arrived at her date place by boat with great interest, but she didn't arrive, and she blew her sad flute in disappointment. The first two sentences came out in the form of questions. As soon as they came up, they revealed the fact that they didn't go to see love with doubts in their hearts, which made a clear foreshadowing for the lyric of the whole song. The following two sentences say that for this date, she made serious preparations, decorated her already good appearance just right, and then came by boat. This shows that she attaches great importance to this opportunity to meet, and her heart is full of love for Xiang. It is under the control of this psychology that she even sincerely prays that the Xiangjiang River in Yuan Dynasty is calm, so that Xiang Jun can keep the appointment smoothly. However, after a long time, he still didn't come, so he could only play the flute in a low voice to pour out his infinite thoughts about Xiang. This description makes people see a picture of a beautiful woman looking forward to autumn water.
In the second paragraph, before long, Mrs. Xiang drove a canoe north to Dongting Lake to find it, and she was busy running around on the shore. As a result, Xiang Jun is still missing. Here, the work closely combines the mental journey and inner feelings of finding Mrs. Xiang. You see, she first drove the dragon boat north out of Xiangpu and turned to Dongting. At this time, she was obviously full of hope for finding Xiang Jun. But nothing can be seen except vast lakes and beautifully decorated ships; Disappointed, she was still unwilling, so she looked at Chaoyang and hoped to capture the whereabouts of Xiang Jun; However, all this ended in vain, and her mind crossed the river again, searching in the vast waters around Yuanxiang, and finally failed to find it. Such affectionate expectation and persistent pursuit made the ladies around her sigh for her. It was the sigh of others that deeply touched and stimulated Mrs. Xiang, pushing the emotional waves rolling in her heart to a turbulent climax, making her cry uncontrollably and heartbroken at the thought of not getting up at the station.
The third paragraph is mainly a direct catharsis of extremely disappointed resentment. Mrs. Xiang, who wrote the first two sentences, struggled to see it, and still rowed aimlessly in the water. Although the paddle that cut through the ice and snow is still swinging, it gives the impression that her movements are slow, heavy and mechanically repetitive. Then the metaphor of picking Ficus pumila from the water and picking hibiscus from the tree is summed up. The above pursuit is just a kind of futility, and it is also the inspiration for a series of reprimands and complaints about Xiang Jun's "different hearts", "ingratitude", "disloyalty" and "unbelief". This is Mrs. Xiang's angry words in extreme disappointment. It contains the intense pain that hopes are dashed again and again in the seemingly ruthless and fierce accusations. And its motivation comes from the unavoidable deep love for Xiang Jun. As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the greater the responsibility, which will show the inner world of a woman who boldly pursues love to the fullest.
The fourth paragraph can be divided into two layers. The first four sentences are on the first floor, describing the time when Mrs. Xiang drifted across the lake from morning till night, and re-emphasizing that she took a long bus ride back to the dating place "Zhu Bei" and still didn't see Mr. Xiang. The second layer is also the chess piece of the whole music from "donating the remaining money" to the end. Throw Yuhuan into the river. Leaving the ornaments on the shore is an excessive action made by Mrs. Xiang under the control of excessive emotions. According to common sense, this jade ring and accessories should be given to her by Xiang Jun. Now he doesn't care about the past and keeps breaking his word. What's the use of keeping these tokens of love and loyalty? Better throw them away. This is also the inevitable result of the above four "no" words. After reading this, people sympathize with regrets, but it is inevitable that there will be more regrets. The last four sentences became a turning point: when Mrs. Xiang gradually calmed down and put the grassland in the water and gave it to the maid who comforted her, a feeling of now or never came to mind. So she decided to "have a long view and broaden her horizons", take a long-term view, relax the tense heartstrings and wait slowly. This ending makes the whole story and the whole song reverberate, echoes the questions at the beginning of the article, and also leaves people with suspense of imagination.
