Peacocks fly southeast; Southeast Fly the Peacocks; The Peacock Flies Southeast
During the Jian 'an period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 196-2 19), Liu Lanzhi, the wife of Jiao Zhongqing, a small official of Lujiang satrap yamen, was driven back to her mother's house by Jiao Zhongqing's mother, and she vowed not to marry again. Her family forced her to remarry and she drowned. Jiao Zhongqing heard about it (Liu Lanzhi drowned) and hanged himself in a tree in his yard. People at that time mourned them. Write this poem and describe it.
Peacock bird flew to the southeast, flew five miles, and lingered for a while.
"(I) can weave exquisite Bai Juan at the age of thirteen, learn to cut clothes at the age of fourteen, play the piano at the age of fifteen, and read poetry at the age of sixteen. Being your wife at the age of seventeen often makes me feel painful and sad. Since you are a small official in the prefect's office, you should abide by the rules of the office and concentrate on your work. I stayed alone in an empty room, and the day when we met was really hard.
When I am ugly (1 -3), I will weave silk on the machine and never rest every night. I have knitted five silks in three days, but my mother-in-law still thinks I am slow in knitting. Not because I knit slowly, but because your daughter-in-law is difficult to do! Since I can't handle (your family), it's no use raising it for nothing. You can tell your mother-in-law to send me back to my mother's house now, or it will be too late. "
After hearing this story, Jiao Zhongqing told his mother in class: "I am no longer a senior official and enjoy a generous life. Fortunately, I can still marry this (virtuous and capable) wife. After marriage, (the young couple) will live in love with each other and (agree) to stay underground as partners after death. We have been together for less than two or three years, and (life) has just begun. Time is not too long. There is nothing wrong with this woman's behavior. Where did you expect to cause mother's dissatisfaction? " Jiao Mu said to Zhong Qing, "(You) are really ignorant! This woman doesn't pay attention to manners and acts according to her own wishes. I've been holding it for a long time. How can you act independently? There is a virtuous woman in the neighbor's house named Qin Luofu. She is lovely and elegant. If no one is worthy, your mother will propose for you. Get rid of Liu Lanzhi and send her away. Never keep (her)! " Jiao Zhongqing straightened up and knelt down to tell her: "My child respectfully told her mother that if I divorce this woman now, I will never marry again in my life!" After listening to her son's words, Jiao Mu knocked on the seat (with her fist) and lost her temper (cursing): "What are you afraid of, how dare you speak for your daughter-in-law! I am not good to her, and of course I can't promise you. "
Jiao Zhongqing was silent, bowed to his mother twice, and then went back to his room. He opened his mouth to talk to his wife, but he couldn't say anything: "I didn't want to kick you out, my mother forced me." You have to go back to your parents' house for the time being. I'm going back to the Taishoufu for the time being, and I'll be back soon. You are welcome to my home when you come back. For this reason, you will be wronged. Don't go against what I said. " Liu Lanzhi said to Jiao Zhongqing, "Don't waste your breath! I remember that at the end of that winter, when I left my mother's house to marry you, I always obeyed my mother-in-law's will when I was serving. How dare I make my own decision? Hard work day and night, lonely torture, always thought there was no fault, and served my mother-in-law all my life. After all, I was driven away. How can I get back to your house? I have an embroidered waist-length coat embroidered with beautiful glitter, a double bucket made of red yarn, sachets hanging at four corners, and sixty or seventy boxes of clothes, all tied with bright green silk ropes. Everything is different. All kinds of utensils are in that box curtain. I'm cheap and worthless, and I don't deserve to take it to see your future remarried wife. Take it as my souvenir, I will never see you again. Always comfort these, (I hope you) never forget me. "
The rooster crowed and it was already dawn outside. Liu Lanzhi got up and dressed. Put on an embroidered skirt and change it several times every time. Wearing silk shoes at the foot, wearing shiny tortoise shell jewelry on the head, wearing white silk around the waist, shining like water waves, wearing earrings made of bright moon beads on the ears, slender fingers as white as sharpened onion roots, and rosy lips as red cinnabar. It is really the second in the world.
Liu Lanzhi went to see her mother-in-law in the hall, but her mother-in-law's anger still lingered. (Lan Zhi said:) "When I was a daughter, I grew up in the country after I was born. I have never received a good education, and I am even more ashamed to marry your young master. I accept a lot of money and gifts from my mother-in-law, but I can't stand her orders. When I went back to my mother's house today, I just remembered that my mother-in-law was working hard at home. " Turning to say goodbye to her sister-in-law, tears fell like strings of beads. (Liu Lanzhi says to her sister-in-law:) "When I first arrived at your house, you just learned to walk with your seat. Today, I was kicked out. You are as tall as me. I hope you will try your best to support your mother and serve her old people well. Don't forget me when you play. " (Lan Zhi finished) Going out, getting on the bus and leaving, tears kept falling.
Jiao Zhongqing's horse walked ahead, followed by Liu Lanzhi's garage, and the car made a faint sound. They met at the crossroads. Jiao Zhongqing got off the horse and got into Liu Lanzhi's car. They bowed their heads and whispered to each other. (Jiao Zhongqing said): "I swear I won't break up with you. You should go back to your mother's house for a while. I'm going to Lujiang Taishoufu (on business) for the time being, and I'm sure I'll be back soon. I swear to God, I will never be sorry for you. "
Liu Lanzhi said to Jiao Zhongqing, "Thank you for your loyal and loving wish! Since you remember me like this, I hope you can pick me up early. You must be a rock, and I must be cattail and reed. Pucao and reed are soft and strong as silk, and rocks are not easily moved. I have a grumpy brother. I'm afraid I won't listen to my wishes. When I think about the future, I feel that I am suffering. " Then raise your hand to say goodbye, disappointed, and the feelings of the two people are the same.
Lan Zhi walked into the room and came to the hall, feeling humiliated back and forth. Mother Liu was very surprised (when she saw her coming back). She clapped her hands and said, "I didn't expect you to come back by yourself! I taught you to spin at the age of thirteen, cut clothes at the age of fourteen, play the piano at the age of fifteen, be polite at the age of sixteen, and send you to get married at the age of seventeen. I always thought I wouldn't make any mistakes. What is the matter with you now? No one greeted you when you came back! " Lan Zhi said to her mother in shame, "There is really nothing wrong with my daughter." Mother was very sad after hearing this.
(Lan Zhi) Just returned to China for more than ten days, the county magistrate sent a matchmaker to the door. (Matchmaker) It is said that the county magistrate's family has a third son, chinese odyssey, who is beautiful and elegant, and is only eighteen or nineteen years old. He has a glib tongue and is very capable.
Mother Liu said to her daughter, "You can promise him." The daughter replied tearfully, "When Lan Zhi came back, Jiao Zhongqing repeatedly told me to swear never to part. Today is against friendship. I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Then you can refuse the matchmaker and talk about it later. "
Mother Liu told the matchmaker: "(We) are poor and humble. We took this daughter and were sent back to our parents' house soon after we got married. If (she) can't be the wife of a government official, how can she be worthy of the son of grandpa? I hope you can ask around (and then visit other women), but I can't just promise you. "
A few days after the county magistrate's matchmaker left, the prefect sent an army to propose marriage. ..... Said that the Taishou family had a fifth son, who was beautiful and elegant. Before he got married, he asked Cheng Jun to be a matchmaker, and the main book conveyed it. Directly said to Liu's mother, "We are too strong to have such a good son. Since you want to marry your family, send me to your family as a matchmaker.
Mother Liu declined the matchmaker and said, "My daughter swore an oath before. How dare I say (to her) about remarriage? "
When Lan Zhi's brother heard that the Taishou's proposal was rejected, he was very depressed and said to his sister, "Why don't you think about it? Last time I got married, I got a small official. This time I got a noble son. Luck is a world of difference. (Good luck) is enough to make your life glorious and rich. What are you going to do in the future if you don't marry such a kind son? "
Lan Zhi looked up and replied, "The fact is really like what my brother said. I left home to wait on my husband and went back to my brother's house halfway. How to deal with completely listen to my brother's idea, how dare you make your own decisions? Although I swore to the official, I never got a chance to see him. Immediately promised to keep this marriage, you can get married. "
The satrap's matchmaker stood up from his seat and repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, that's it, that's it." He returned to the county government and reported to the magistrate: "I accepted the task you gave me and went to Liu's house as a matchmaker." The son is very predestined and the matchmaker is very successful. " Hearing these words, the satrap was very happy. He checked the wedding calendar (immediately), looked through the marriage book and told Cheng Jun: "It is very lucky to set the wedding date within this month. Every day of the month is suitable. The good day is the 30th, and today is the 27th. Go to the Liu family and set the date. " Everyone in the Taishou House said to each other, "Hurry up and prepare for the wedding!" People who are eager to get married come and go like floating clouds in the sky. The wedding boat is painted with patterns of bluebirds and white swans, and flags embroidered with dragons are hung at the four corners, floating gently in the wind. A golden cart with white jade wheels, a green horse walking slowly, and a saddle with colorful tassels and gold ornaments carved on it. Gift 3 million, all wearing blue silk thread, 300 pieces of silks and satins of various colors, delicacies purchased from Guangzhou and Jiaozhou. Followed by four or five hundred people, happily came to Lujiang county government.
The mother said to her daughter, "I have just received a letter from the prefect and will meet you tomorrow." Why not make clothes? " Don't let the marriage fail! "
Lan Zhi was silent, covered her mouth with a towel and cried, tears streaming down like water. Move the sitting glass sofa out and put it under the front window. With scissors and ruler in his left hand and silk in his right hand (making clothes by hand). I made an embroidered skirt in the morning and a sweater in the evening. The gloomy sky gradually darkened. Lan Zhi was full of thoughts and went out to cry bitterly.
Jiao Zhongqing heard about this change, so he came back temporarily on leave. He went to Lan Zhi's home, two or three miles away. People are sad and horses neigh. Lan Zhi, familiar with the pounding of horses' hooves of officials, ran briskly to meet him, looking sad and disappointed, knowing that someone was coming. She raised her hand and stroked the saddle, and her heart was broken with a sigh. Said: "since you left me, the personnel changes are really unexpected!" " I have my own mother and my own brother forced me to marry someone else. What is your hope of coming back! "
Jiao Zhongqing said to Lan Zhi, "Congratulations on your promotion! My rock is square and firm, which can be stored for thousands of years, while Puwei is flexible for a while and can only be stored in the morning and evening. You will get richer and richer day by day. Let me go to hell alone! "
Lan Zhi said to Jiao Zhongqing, "I didn't expect you to say such a thing! We are all persecuted, so are you and me. Let's meet underground! (Hope) Don't break today's oath! " (They) shook hands with each other tightly, then said goodbye and went home. When the living bid farewell to the dead, where can the resentment in their hearts be exhausted? Thinking that (they) will leave this world forever, they can't save (lives) anyway!
When Jiao Zhongqing came home, he went to the hall to meet his mother and said, "It's windy and cold today. The cold wind destroyed trees and the orchids in the yard were covered with thick frost. My son is like a sunset now, which makes my mother lonely in the future. I made such a bad plan on purpose. Stop hating ghosts and gods! May you live longer than Nanshan Stone, and may your body be healthy and comfortable forever! "
Jiao Mu heard these words, and her tears flowed down with her voice. She said, "You are a noble son and hold an important position in a big official. Don't try to die for a woman, because (you and her) have different dignity. (Divorce her) Where can it be considered fickle? There is a wise woman in the East, whose beauty is famous both inside and outside the city. I propose for you, and sooner or later there will be an answer. "
Jiao Zhongqing bowed to his mother twice and then went back to his room. He sighed in his empty room, and his plan to commit suicide was decided. He turned his head to Lan Zhi's inner room, more and more tortured by sadness.
(Lan Zhi) On the wedding day, when the horses and cattle were barking, Liu Lanzhi walked into the green tent of the wedding. After the dark dusk, people began to have a quiet rest. (Lan Zhi said to himself): "Today my life is over and my soul is leaving. Let this body stay on the earth for a long time! " ! Roll up your skirt, take off your silk shoes and jump into the clear pool.
When Jiao Zhongqing heard that Liu Lanzhi committed suicide by drowning, he knew in his heart that he had left Liu Lanzhi forever. He lingered under a tree in the yard for a while, and then hanged himself on a branch in the southeast.
Jiao and Liu asked to be buried together, so they were buried together next to Huashan Mountain. Plant conifers and cypresses on the east and west sides, and plant phoenix trees on the left and right sides. Branches cover each other and leaves connect with each other. There are a pair of birds in the tree. Their names are Yuanyang. They looked up at each other and called to each other until the fifth watch every night. Pedestrians stopped to listen, and the widow heard. She got out of bed and was very upset. Advise future generations to learn from this and never forget it!
Note: In the phrase "The matchmaker has been gone for a few days", some people think that "My mother thanked the matchmaker" should be added after the phrase "There are Lan's daughters and eunuchs", which means that there is a Lan's daughter who comes from an official's family and can match the Taishou's son, but her daughter is from a humble background and can't.
handicraftsmen
In the ninth year of Yonghe, that is, the year of guichou, at the beginning of March, (celebrities) met in Lanting, Shanyin County, Huiji, and went to the water to eliminate disasters and seek happiness. Many prestigious and talented people came, young and old. There are high mountains, dense forests and high bamboos, clear water and rapids, and reflections all around. Introduce water into the circular canal (in the pavilion) and let the glass float on the water (for people to drink). People are sitting beside the meandering water. Although there is no grand occasion of orchestral ensemble, it is enough for them to write poems while drinking and express their elegant feelings happily.
On this day, it was sunny and breezy. Looking up, the sky is boundless, looking down, there are so many things on the ground, which broadens our horizons, broadens our minds and exhausts our audio-visual enjoyment. What happiness!
People get along with each other and spend their lives quickly. Some people like to talk about their interests and ambitions, and they like to talk face to face indoors (with friends). Some people pin their feelings on what they like and live indulgently without any constraints. Although people's hobbies vary widely, whether they are quiet or active, they all have such experiences: (1) When they are happy with what they touch, they will be complacent, happy and self-sufficient for a while, but they do not feel the coming of aging; When I am tired of what I love, my mood changes with the status quo, and my feelings arise spontaneously. I still have to feel deeply about what I used to feel very happy suddenly becoming the past. Moreover, my life depends on nature, and finally everything goes up in smoke. The ancients said: "Life and death are also important!" How can you not be sad?
Every time I see that my predecessors have reasons for regret, they are as consistent as Fu Qi. I always lament and feel sad in the face of their articles, but I don't understand why. I just know that it is absurd to treat life and death equally, and it is false to treat long life and short life equally. It is sad for future generations to look at today, just as people today look at the past! So I wrote down the people who attended the party and copied their poems. Although times are different and circumstances are different, people feel the same. Later readers will also feel the great event of life and death when they read this collection of poems.
Thousand Cliff Poems (Autumn in Ren Xu, Hope in July)
In autumn in Ren Xu, on July 16, my friends and I went to the Red Cliff by boat. The breeze is blowing slowly, and the water on the river is calm. So I raised a glass to invite guests to drink, recited the moon poem and sang the chapter in My Fair Lady. After a while, the moon rose from Dongshan and moved slowly between Dousu and Niusu. White fog crosses the river, and the moonlight reflected by the river is connected with the sky. We let reedlike boats float freely on the boundless river and cross the vast river. How vast, like sailing in the sky, I don't know where the ship will stay; What a trance! We seem to be independent in the sky, abandon the world and fly to immortality.
At this time, drinking wine, I knocked on the boat and sang happily. The lyrics say: "Ah, paddles made of osmanthus wood and blue wood, paddles the Qinghe River, and the boat goes upstream on the floating surface of the moonlight. How deep, my feelings, looking up at the person I admire, he is in that distant place. " There is a guest who plays the flute with Su Shi. He plays the flute according to the tune. The flute sounds like resentment, yearning, crying and talking. The ending is sad, euphemistic and long, like a continuous filament. Can make the dragon in the deep valley listen to the dance, can make the widow who sits alone in the boat cry.
Su Shi was very sad. He adjusted his clothes, sat up straight and asked his friend, "Why (Quzi) is so sad?" The guest said, "There are few stars on the moon, and blackbirds fly south." Isn't this a poem by Cao Mengde? Looking west is Xiakou, looking east is Wuchang. Surrounded by mountains, full of green. Isn't this the place where Cao Mengde was besieged by Zhou Yu? When he captured Jingzhou and Jiangling, he went down the river, with thousands of miles of warships, covered the sky with flags, poured wine on the river, and recited poems with guns at his side. Originally, he was a hero. Where is he now? Besides, I'm in the middle of the river with you, fishing and chopping wood on the sandbar, taking fish and shrimp as partners, elk as friends, driving a lonely boat, and drinking together here. Like a ephemera, parasitic between heaven and earth, as small as a drop in the ocean, lamenting the shortness of my life and admiring the endless flowing water of the Yangtze River. I am willing to walk with the immortals and live with the bright moon. I know this is impossible to get easily, so I can only pin the sound of the flute on this sad autumn wind. "
I said, "Do you know water and the moon, too? (River water) always flows, but does not flow away; The moon is always round and round, but it doesn't increase or decrease after all. If we look at them from the changing side, then everything between heaven and earth has changed in less than a blink of an eye; If from their unchanging side, everything is as eternal as ours, what do we envy them? Besides, between heaven and earth, everything has its own owner. If I don't have everything, I can't even get a little bit. Only the breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains become sounds to the ears and scenery to the eyes. No one can ban them and use them endlessly. This is an endless treasure of nature, and I can share it with you. "
Hearing this, my friend smiled happily. Wash the glass and refill it. All the vegetables and fruits have been eaten, and the cups and plates are lying in a mess. Everyone slept on the boat, leaning against each other, and before you know it, it was dawn in the east.
Post-Red Cliff Fu (the hope of October)
This year1October 15, I set out from Tang Xue and prepared to return to Lingaoge. Two guests followed me and walked through the yellow clay board together. By this time, it was first frost, and all the leaves had fallen out. Our figure was reflected on the ground, and we looked up and saw the bright moon hanging high. Looking around, I am very happy; So as they walked, they sang poems and rewarded each other.
After a while, I said regretfully, "There are guests without wine, and there is wine without food." The moonlight is bright and the breeze is blowing gently. How can I spend such a wonderful night? A guest said, "Tonight, I cast my net and caught a fish with a big mouth and fine scales, which is shaped like a bass in Wusong River. But where can I get wine? "I went home to discuss with my wife, who said," I have a barrel of wine, which I have kept for a long time for a rainy day. "
In this way, we visited the bottom of Chibi again with wine and fish. The flowing water of the Yangtze River makes a sound, and the steep bank of the river is steep; The mountains are high and the moon is small, the water level drops and the rocks are exposed. It's just how many days have passed, and I can't recognize the river view I saw last time! I lifted my skirt and went ashore, stepping on steep rocks and pushing aside messy weeds; Crouching on the strange stone in the shape of tiger and leopard, sometimes pulling the branches in the shape of dragon, climbing the cliff where birds of prey nest and overlooking the deep palace of Feng Yi, the water god. Neither guest can follow me to such a high place. I screamed loudly, the vegetation shook, the mountains sang with me, the deep valleys echoed, the wind surrounded and the waves were rough. I don't feel sad. I feel scared. I think it's horrible here. I can't stay long. Go back to the boat, row the boat to the middle of the river and let it go with the flow.
It's nearly midnight. Looking around, I feel very cold and lonely. There happened to be a crane flying across the river from the east, with wings as big as wheels. Kuroha on his tail was a black skirt and dressed in white. It quacked and blew our boat to the west. After a while, the guests left and I went home to sleep. I dreamed that a Taoist priest, dressed in feathers, walked briskly to your Excellency Lingao, bowed to me and said, "Did you have a good trip to Chibi?" I asked his name, but he bowed his head and didn't answer. "oh! Oh, dear! I know everything about you. Didn't you fly over to call me last night? " The Taoist priest turned to laugh, and I suddenly realized. When I opened the door, I couldn't see where he was.
