Bu Shuanzi
Yan Rui
It’s not that she loves romance, she seems to have been misled by the past. When flowers fall and flowers bloom, they always rely on the emperor of the East. If you go, you must go, and if you live, you must live! If you have a head full of mountain flowers, don't ask where the slave is.
This is a poem about resisting oppression and longing for freedom. When the author wrote this poem, he was being imprisoned by Zhu Xi, a local official at the time, on charges of immorality. After Zhu Xi changed his official position, Yue Lin succeeded him. In order to win his freedom, the author wrote this poem to his successor official Yue Lin.
The film is to plead his innocence and hope that the new officials will make a fair decision and release him. It begins with "I am not in love with the world, but I seem to have been led astray by the past." This is a complaint against myself for being accused of immorality by the Taoist Zhu Xi. The author said that I was forced to fall into prostitution, not because I liked the prostitution business. The word "no" firmly affirmed my innocence. The theory of "seeming to be mistaken by previous fate" seems to be destiny in the past life. Although the author here still does not understand that the reason for the emergence of prostitutes is class oppression in a male-centered class society, she has realized that she cannot bear the responsibility for the degradation. This shows the initial awakening of the author's thoughts. The word "like" indicates that although the author suspects that being a prostitute is destined, he does not completely believe in fate. This is also an indictment of the unreasonable prostitution system in feudal society, and a powerful criticism of the famous Taoist Zhu Xi's Wei Taoism. .
It is precisely because she believes that she is innocent, and she does not completely believe in fate. So she said: "When flowers fall and flowers bloom, they always depend on the emperor." "Flowers fall and flowers bloom" is a self-metaphor, and "flowers fall" is a metaphor for being in trouble and behind bars. "Flowers bloom" is a metaphor for getting rid of disaster and being released. "Zi Shi" believes that he is innocent and will eventually be vindicated. "Dongjun" implies an upright official, and "lord" is a noun conjugated into a verb, which means "making the decision" to release. "Zong Lai" expresses trust in honest officials. It is written here that she has full expectations for the newly succeeded local official Yue Lin, hoping that Yue Lin can make the decision for her and save herself from the pain of imprisonment.
The next part is about my longing for freedom and happiness. "Even if you go, you must go, and you must live no matter how you live." He wrote that he must leave the prison and get rid of the disaster. "Go" means to leave the disaster of imprisonment, and "end must" means the final should, expressing the author's firm belief in longing for freedom; the "dwell" in "Where to live" refers to being in prison, and "how" contains questions. This means that he continues to express his innocence. This is not only a complaint to Yue Lin, but also a complaint to the entire society.
"If I have my head covered with mountain flowers, don't ask me where I am going." If I am released and live freely with my head covered with mountain flowers, then there is no need to ask me where I am going. "If you get it" is a hypothetical word, which also means that this beautiful day has not yet come. This sentence is a good knot and deepens the theme. The author not only asked for the release of Zhao Xue in the previous film, but also demands for freedom here, longing for happiness, and getting rid of the life of a prostitute who is discriminated against and trampled upon. The word "return" expresses this ideal, but how could this ideal be expressed bluntly at that time? Yan Rui is a Tiantai camp prostitute, that is, a prostitute in the military camp. Many camp prostitutes were originally girls from good families but were later forced into prostitution. Some were forced to lose their virginity because their fathers and brothers went bankrupt; some came from official families and fell into prostitution because their fathers and brothers offended and their families were confiscated. They endure humiliation and live in this world, how they long for freedom and get rid of this inhuman life! The word "return" in "Don't ask where the slave is going" expresses her desire to maintain human dignity and live a free life. Because this desire touches the feudal social order more than seeking release, and will not be allowed by the feudal rulers, this strong desire for freedom has to be implicitly written as "Don't ask where the slave is."
From this poem, we can see the suffering of women in feudal society, especially women like Yan Rui, who suffered even more serious disasters. They were forced to lose their human dignity, but they did not give in, and still cried out for life under the heavy pressure; they did not completely believe in fate, and in the harsh winter, they still eagerly looked forward to the days of freedom with "mountain flowers in their heads". arrival.
This word is written sincerely and fully expresses the voice of the person who was insulted and harmed. The whole poem is a combination of poetry and poetry, with a rigorous structure. The upper part and the lower part have their own emphasis. The upper part requires release, while the second part longs for a free life. The language is bright and sharp.
Yan Rui
Yan Rui (birth and death unknown), female, originally surnamed Zhou, styled Youfang, was a female poet in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty. Born in a humble background, she studied music, rituals, poetry, and calligraphy since she was a child. She became a prostitute in Taizhou and changed her stage name to Yan Rui. He is good at playing the piano, playing chess, singing and dancing, silk and bamboo, calligraphy and painting. He is knowledgeable about ancient and modern times, and his poems have fresh meaning. He is famous all over the world, and people come from thousands of miles away to visit him. In the ninth year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1182), Tang Zhongyou, the magistrate of Taizhou, settled Yan Rui, Wang Hui and other four people, and returned to Huangyan to live with his mother. In the same year, Changping in eastern Zhejiang sent Zhu Xi to inspect Taizhou. Because Tang Zhongyou's Yongkang school opposed Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism, Zhu Xi impeached Tang Zhongyou in six articles. The third and fourth articles discussed the crime of Tang Zhongyou and Yan Rui's corruption, and ordered Huangyan to arrest him. Yan Rui was arrested, imprisoned in Taizhou and Shaoxing, and whipped to force him to confess. Yan said: "As a lowly prostitute, even if she has sex with the eunuch, she will not die because of her knowledge. However, if it is not true or false, how can she make false claims to taint the scholar-bureaucrats? Even if she is dead, she cannot be falsely accused." This matter was discussed by the government and the public, which shocked Xiaozong.
Zhu Xi changed his official position, Yue Lin was appointed to Tidian Prison, and Yan Rui was released and asked about her fate. Yan Rui's "Businessman": "It's not that you are in love with the world, but you seem to be misled by the past. Flowers fall and bloom in their own time, and they always rely on the Lord of the East."
If you go, you must go, and if you live, you must live! If you have a head full of mountain flowers, don't ask where the slave is. "Yue Lin was ordered to be a good person and was adopted as a concubine by the Zhao and Song Dynasty clan. Many of his poems have been lost, and only three poems such as "Ru Meng Ling", "Magpie Bridge Immortal" and "Bu Shuanzi" have survived. The drama "Mo Wen Nuo Where Is Gone" was adapted based on this. ”, which has been performed for a long time.
