Jiu Ge·Yun Zhongjun
Bath in the orchid soup, you can feel the fragrance, and you can wear beautiful clothes like a young girl[1];
The spirit is still curled up. , the death is still young;
Jian Jiangxi [2] comes to the longevity palace, and the sun and the moon shine together;
The dragon rides on the emperor's clothes, chatting and flying around the Zhouzhang;< /p>
Linghuanghuangxi has descended[3], and the 猋[4] has been raised far away in the clouds;
There is more than enough to see Jizhou, but there is nothing left across the four seas;
Missing my husband[5] You are resting too much, and you are very tired and worried;

Brief analysis:
This article is a poem to worship the God of Clouds. The God of Clouds is a male named "Yunzhongjun". In mythology, the God of Clouds is named "Yunzhongjun". Fenglong, also known as Pingyi.
"Yunzhongjun" is a song and dance poem to worship the God of Clouds. Explanation of the title of Wang Yi's "Chapter of Chu Ci": "Yun Zhongjun, the cloud god is prosperous. One is called screen." The Warring States sacrificial bamboo slips unearthed from Tomb No. 1 of Tianxingguan in Jiangling have "Yun Jun", which is obviously the name of "Yun Zhongjun" The abbreviation proves that Yun Zhongjun is Yun Shen. Some people think that the Moon God, the Thunder God, the God of Yunmengze, the God of Yunzhong County, the Goddess of Gaohe, etc. are all unacceptable.
The poem "Yunzhongjun" is a duet performed by the shaman who is officiating and the shaman (lingzi) who plays the role of the cloud god, praising the cloud god and expressing his yearning for the cloud god. Why does it have to be a duet? First of all, the poem says: "The Emperor of Spirit has descended", and "Ling" refers to God. It is also said: "The spirit is curled up and left." "Chu Ci Yiyi" says: "There is a word "zi" under the spirit." Wang Yi notes: "The name of the Chu people is "lingzi"." "Guangya·Exegesis Three" 》The same thing is said. Then this "lingzi" or "ling" refers to the cloud god or the shaman possessed by the cloud god. Then, the two parts of the poem that refer to "spirit" and the other sentence that refers to "jun" are both sung by witches. In the poem, the following four lines, "Jian will come to the Shougong Palace in despair" and the two lines "There are more than a few who have visited Jizhou" are not the words of the witch sacrifice, but they are undoubtedly Yun Zhongjun's lyrics. Secondly, the other four poems in "Nine Songs" that offer sacrifices to gods, except "Donghuang Taiyi" which also has the function of welcoming gods, are discussed separately, and the other "Dongjun", "Da Siming" and "Shao Siming" They are also all in the form of duet singing.
The sacrificial songs and dances of "Nine Songs" are performed at night with the help of bonfires or bamboo lights, pine lights, and lights, so they present a mysterious and trance-like atmosphere.
The article "Yun Zhongjun" can be divided into two chapters according to rhyme, and each chapter is a duet. The first four sentences are sung to worship the witch, saying that she bathed her body in fragrant soup and put on colorful clothes to welcome the gods. The spirit son danced gracefully, but the spirit had not yet left, and its body was faintly emitting divine light. This shows the piety and sacrificial scene of the sacrifice.
The following four lines of "Jian will come to the longevity palace" were sung by Yun Zhongjun (acting as Yunzhongjun's spiritual son), showing the nobility, pomp and majesty of God. Because the witches welcome the gods, worship the gods, and praise the gods, the gods are happy, refreshed, and high-spirited. The six words "Lighting up with the sun and the moon" accurately describe the characteristics of clouds; as far as the sky is concerned, the only things that can be juxtaposed with the sun and the moon are stars and clouds, but the stars can only be seen when it is clear and there is no sunlight. If there is no moon at the same time, it will be even brighter. However, the clouds are illuminated by sunlight. The clouds reflect the sun and emit silver light. The morning and evening glow disperses into clouds, so it is said to "be as bright as the sun and the moon." In these two sentences, the first sentence explains the identity of "God", and the next sentence shows the identity of "Yunshen". "The dragon rides on the emperor's clothes", which means traveling to the world to enjoy. "Liao Ao You Xi Zhou Zhang" means that he lives up to people's prayers and sacrifices, and is willing to understand the situation. The ancients believed that rain came from clouds, and the cloud master had the responsibility of raining. Therefore, "Zhou Li Da Zongbo" has a rain master but not a cloud master, and "Nine Songs" has a cloud master but no rain master. Pingyi may be regarded as the cloud master or the rain master, and this is also the reason. "Screen" means covering. "Yi", Wang Yi's note in "Li Sao": "Shiye." "Guangya·Exegesis 2": "Ye". The name of "Yi" actually expresses the same meaning as "there is more than enough to see Jizhou, and it spans the four seas" "Xi Yanqiu" has the same meaning. The poem written by King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty to pray for rain was titled "Yunhan", and the title of Jia Yi's poem expressing sympathy for the drought was "Dry Clouds". This shows the ancients' views on clouds and cloud gods.
The witch sacrificial sung "The Emperor of Spirits has come down, and the 猋 has been lifted up in the clouds from afar", which means that after the sacrifice is over, Lord Yun Zhong will leave far away. "Emperor" is a symbol of God attached to a shaman. After the arrival of the gods, they rose like a hurricane. This is to show the majesty and extraordinaryness of the Cloud God. "There is so much to see in Jizhou, but there is so much to see across the four seas." It refers to what the cloud god can see after rising to the high altitude, showing the characteristics of the clouds being so high that they cover all nine states and are spread across the four seas. The last two sentences are the sacrifice to the witch to express the melancholy and longing for the departure of the god, showing the dependence on the cloud god. Worshiping the Cloud God is for rain, hoping that the clouds will move and rain will flow, and the weather will be smooth. Therefore, as soon as Yun Shen left, people felt sad. "Ode to Dry Clouds" writes that when the clouds begin to accumulate, they are connected to each other, "as if they are flying vertically and horizontally", "the curtains are covered with thunder," but in the end, "the wind dissolves and scatters the clouds, and the tombs are late and blocked." Or It dives deeply and hides itself, fights for each other and passes away. It is as clean as water, and the sun shines without dirt." The wind blew away the clouds, and all hope was dashed. At the end of the poem, it says: "I miss Baiyun, and my intestines are knotted. ... Why do you blame Baiyun, but who is missing!" It expresses a very similar emotion to "The Lord in the Cloud".
It can be seen from this that the longing for God in "The King in the Cloud" only expresses people's begging for clouds and rain.
Both the human lyrics and the divine lyrics in this chapter show the characteristics of the Cloud God from different angles, showing people’s begging and longing for the Cloud God, and God’s repayment of people’s respect. His affection is beyond words.
