Lecturer Hao Runhua
The title of this lecture is an interpretation of the style of "Eternal Regret" and the theme of "Song of Everlasting Regret". One day in December of the year 806, Bai Juyi, who was newly appointed as the captain of Zhōuzhì, and his friends Chen Hong and Wang Zhifu visited Xianyou Temple in the southwest of Chang'an, and talked about Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and Yang The story of the imperial concubine led Bai Juyi to create the eternal song "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".
Chen Hong also wrote "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" to match it in the form of prose. "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" became Bai Juyi's most outstanding poetic work. First, let’s take a look at the content overview of “Song of Everlasting Sorrow”.
"Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is a model of the close combination of lyric poetry and narrative poetry among ancient Chinese poems. This is a long poem, with 120 lines in total. In terms of work conception and language use, he has great artistic charm.
The main line of the poem is the life and death story of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. It involves important historical facts of the Xuanzong era, the Anshi Rebellion. In order to make it easier for everyone to understand this piece, I divided it into four parts. The general idea of ??these four parts:
The first part: From the time when the emperor of Han Dynasty paid great attention to beauty and wanted to overwhelm the country, he could not get the emperor for many years. It describes the beauty of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, who favored the beautiful Yang Yuhuan endlessly since he chose her as his concubine. The Huaqing Pool provided bathing, singing and dancing, and the Yang family brothers and sisters ascended to heaven with their chickens and dogs, and they were rampant for a while.
The Anlushan Rebellion in Tianbao's fourteenth year caused a sudden and huge change in Li Yang's sensual life.
The second part begins with the smoke and dust in the Jiuchong City, thousands of horses traveling southwest, to the palace where they see the moon and look sad, and hear the sound of broken bells in the rain at night. . The six armies in front of Mawei Station did not send out, and the scene of the imperial concubine's death in front of the horse in Emei also describes Xuanzong's longing for the imperial concubine during his exile in Shuzhong.
The third part goes from the spinning world back to Long Yu, where he hesitates and cannot go, and after so many years of life and death, his soul never comes to sleep. It describes Xuanzong's return to the north after Chang'an was recovered, and he was struck by the scene while passing by Mawei Post. Sad and sad. After returning to Chang'an, he moved to the south of the West Palace. He felt lonely and sad, and his longing for the imperial concubine became more intense.
Part 4: From the time when Taoist priests from Linqiong visited Hongdu, they were able to use the capital to bring their souls to their souls, to the time when it lasts forever, and this hatred lasts forever. The narrative states that thanks to the alchemist's Taoist skills, Li and Yang finally exchanged news and reaffirmed their undying love for each other. The narrative is tactful and tortuous, and the emotions are lingering and sad. The last couplet lasts forever and sometimes ends, and this hatred lasts forever. The poet's emotions reached a climax.
