6. Appreciation of poems about willows and their meanings
1. The affection of "breaking willows" The ancients would break willows to send each other away. This was a very popular folk custom at that time, especially among literati, and it became a fashion.
Zhang Ji's "Thoughts on Traveling in Jibei": "The willows outside the guest pavilion have all broken branches facing south. "Zhou Bangyan's "Lanling King": "The willow shade is straight, and the smoke is green.
On the Sui Embankment, I have seen it several times, with the water flowing in the water to see people off. ...Changting Road, every year, should have more than a thousand feet of flexible strips. ”
From phrases such as “break all the branches towards the south” and “the soft branches are more than a thousand feet long”, we can see the universality of this custom and fashion.
Farewell locations are often at long pavilions, bridgeheads or embankments, such as the "Sui Embankment" mentioned in Zhou Bangyan's poems, and the "Baling" below (there is a Baqiao nearby).
Not only did people break willows to send each other off, but drinking was also indispensable; sometimes they also had to play the flute and sing. The tunes were ready-made, and almost anyone with some literacy at that time could sing them casually; the poets certainly It is even more important to recite poems and compose lyrics as gifts. In ancient poetry, we can read many works related to the cultural custom of "breaking willows to say goodbye". It can be said that this is a very important cultural landscape in the history of Chinese literature. < /p>
(This poem was the subject of the 2003 Gao Archaeology Poetry Appreciation.) Li Bai's "Recalling Qin E": "The sound of the flute swallowed, Qin E dreamed of cutting off the moon in the Qin Tower.
Qin E The moon in the building is full of willows, and Ba Ling is sad to say goodbye. "Li Bai's "Jinling Wine Shop Leaves a Farewell": "The wind blows the willow flowers all over the shop, and Wu Ji presses wine to invite the guests to taste.
The children of Jinling come to see each other off. "Goodbye to friends on the Huai River" by Zheng Gu: "The Yangliuchun is at the head of the Yangtze River, and Yang Hua is worried about killing the people crossing the river.
After leaving the pavilion late, you come to Xiaoxiang. "Xiang Qin." ("Yanghua" means catkins.
Su Shi has "Yanghua Ci") Wu Wenying's "Wind into the Pines": "The dark green in front of the building leads the way, with a trace of willow and an inch of tenderness. "The poem not only writes about the action of "breaking willows to say goodbye", but also all words related to willows are used to express the sadness and hatred during parting, and the deep affection between friends.
Such as "willow silk", "willow branch", "willow shade", "willow color", "smoke willow", "willow cotton" (can also be said to be "willow flower", "poplar flower", "catkins"), "willow", "folded willows", "yangliuchun", "yangliuyiyi" and so on. There is also a very touching story in the poem "Breaking Willow".
Li Zhiwen, an official in the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty, fell in love with Nie Shengqiong, a famous prostitute in the capital. When General Li returned to his hometown, Nie Shengqiong said goodbye to him. He drank in the Lotus Tower and sang a poem. The last line was: "I have no plan to stay in spring, but I have no plan to follow you."
For this , Li Zhiwen stayed for more than a month. Later, because his wife pressed too hard, Li had to leave sadly.
In less than ten days, Nie Shengqiong wrote a song "Partridge Sky" and sent it to Li Zhiwen. Li found it on the way and hid it in a box. His wife found it after returning home.
Li had no choice but to tell the truth. Mrs. Li read "Partridge Sky" and was very happy to see its clear and healthy sentences.
Not only did he not stop Li Nie's love affair, but he used his private money to let Li Zhiwen go to the capital to marry Nie Shengqiong. Nie Shengqiong's "Partridge Sky": The jade is sad and the flowers are sad out of Fengcheng, and the lotus flowers are green downstairs. I sing in front of me and sing Yangguan behind, and everyone is on their fifth journey.
Looking for a good dream, it is hard to come true, who knows how I feel at this time. Tears fell in front of the pillow, rain fell in front of the curtain, and dripped into the morning through the window.
2. The reason for "breaking willows" Why do we break willows to send each other off when we say goodbye? A common explanation is that "Liu" is a homophonic sound of "Liu", and giving Liu as a gift means commemoration. One means that you can't bear to say goodbye, and the other means that you will never forget. However, we feel that this explanation is very thin and not completely convincing.
As a very common cultural custom, breaking willows to say goodbye cannot be explained clearly by a "homonym". Therefore, in ancient times, some people explored the reasons from another angle.
For example, Chu Renhuo of the Qing Dynasty put forward in the fourth volume of "Jianhu Guangji": "The person who is sending off has no other branches to break and must stick to the willow. It is not just the convenience of Jinting, but also the people." Leaving hometown is like a tree leaving the soil, hoping that it will be safe everywhere, just like a willow that can live anywhere, wishing for it. "This explanation is very reasonable.
Compared with other trees, willow trees are characterized by "living anywhere", which can be used to wish people who are far away from home to be at peace with the situation and to quickly integrate into the local people. All the best. This statement has profound philosophy and higher cultural taste.
However, I think this is not the original reason for the cultural custom of "breaking willows to say goodbye". The earliest origin should be these ancient poems: "In the past, I left, and the willows lingered; now I come to think about it, and the rain and snow are falling."
There are three reasons: first, this poem comes from the "Book of Songs", and it is a famous line that is familiar to everyone who reads it; second, "Yangliu Yiyi" expresses the soldiers' feelings of separation and nostalgia for their homeland before going off to war, which set the tone for later generations. The farewell poem set the cultural tone; thirdly, as one of the Five Classics, the Book of Songs has a profound and extensive cultural inheritance role that cannot be doubted. The ancients paid attention to "no word has its origin" in poetry, and of course it comes from the classics. In this sense, I think it is inappropriate for someone to change the phrase "the guest house is surrounded by the spring willows" in "Weicheng Song" to "the guest house is green and the willows are new".
In short, "breaking the willows to say goodbye" should have three reasons: "homonym of nostalgia", "philosophical enlightenment" and "cultural inheritance". 3. The music of "breaking willows" When "breaking willows to say goodbye", one has to play the flute and sometimes sing loudly. Therefore, in ancient poems, breaking willows and playing flute (singing) are often linked together to express the deep affection of farewell.
There are three related pieces of music: one is "Breaking Willow Branches" from the Northern Dynasties Yuefu's "Drum and Horn Horizontal Blowing Music". There is a lyric that says: "When I get on my horse, I don't catch the whip, but instead grab the willow branches.
When I get off my horse, I play the horizontal flute, worried about killing the travelers." Li Bai's "Song under the Sea": "I hear the broken willows in the flute, and the spring scenery is not there. look.
”
There is also the aforementioned "Listening to the Flute in Luocheng on a Spring Night". The "hearing of breaking willows" mentioned in these two poems should both be the song "Breaking Willow Branches". The second is "Weicheng Song" of the Tang Dynasty, also known as "Yangguan Sandie"
In fact, it is not a song, but a poem "Send Off Ruan Er Envoy to Anxi" written by Wang Wei: "Weicheng. The morning rain is lightly dusty, and the guest house is green and the willows are new. I advise you to drink a glass of wine. There is no old friend when you leave Yangguan in the west. ”
Later, the musicians composed it and put it into the Yuefu as a farewell song. The last line of the song, “There is no old friend when leaving Yangguan in the west,” was repeatedly sung, so it was called “Yangguan Three Pieces”. This was performed in the Tang Dynasty "Chao" is a very popular farewell song.
The third is "Poem of Willow Branches" in the Tang Dynasty.
