Poetry is a treasure of China culture, and many friends like it. When it comes to love poems, many people will think of Yuan Zhen's "Leaving Thoughts" for the first time: "Once the sea was difficult for water, it was amber forever. Lazy looking back at flowers, half the sky is repaired, and half the sky is a gentleman. "
The meaning of this poem is easy to understand. After seeing the sea, ordinary water has no charm. Seen the clouds in Wushan, ordinary clouds are not clouds. When I met my wife, Wei Cong, no other woman could arouse Yuan Zhen's interest. He walked among the flowers and didn't bother to look back, partly because he was a monk and quiet, and partly because he missed his dead wife.
This poem belongs to the famous mourning poem, which expresses Yuan Zhen's deep affection for his wife. It can be said that "once the sea is difficult for water, it will always be amber" makes people see the depth of a man's ocean, so these two poems have become famous sentences through the ages.
It's a pity that Yuan Zhen is only very affectionate in his poems. He is actually an ungrateful man. Yuan Zhen once had an unforgettable love affair with Xue Tao, a talented woman in the Tang Dynasty, but finally abandoned Xue Tao. Yuan Zhen had an affair with singer Liu Caichun, which made people question his character. Of course, Yuan Zhen was most disappointed by Cui Yingying.
Speaking of Cui Yingying, many people will think of the love story between Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying in The West Chamber and be moved by their lovers' happy ending. But in fact, this Zhang Sheng is Yuan Zhen's own incarnation, and Cui Yingying was Yuan Zhen's former lover. The real ending of Cui Yingying in history is tragedy.
It turns out that The Story of the West Chamber is based on the legend of Yingying written by Yuan Zhen. Biography of Yingying mainly tells the story that Zhang Sheng fell in love with Cui Yingying in Pujiu Temple and then abandoned her. According to the textual research of Wang Luo, a scholar in Song Dynasty, the so-called Zhang Sheng is actually Yuan Zhen himself. Later, Chen Yinque, a master of Chinese studies, elaborated subtly that Zhang Sheng was Yuan Zhen's "self-discipline".
Yuan Zhen was deeply concerned about this relationship, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he chose to change his name and surname in the story, not only to tell the lingering past, but also to defend himself. In Biography of Yingying, he defends his abandonment of Yingying and thinks that he is recognized: "When there are many people, Zhang Wei is a good remedy."
But thousands of years later, when we examine this relationship, we can clearly find that Yuan Zhen failed Cui Yingying. It is precisely because of this that Yuan Zhen felt uneasy. He recalled Cui Yingying's tenderness and his ungrateful behavior. It can be said that he has mixed feelings, so his articles are touching, and the poems he wrote in Yingying Biography are so touching.
In Biography of Yingying, Cui Yingying wrote a love poem, which made Zhang Sheng overjoyed: "The moon is in the west wing, and the windward door is half open. The flowers on the wall are moving, and they are suspected to be jade people. " Later, Cui Yingying was abandoned by Zhang Sheng, and Cui Yingying wrote two farewell love poems: "Since I lost weight, I am too lazy to get out of bed. Don't be ashamed of others, but be ashamed of Lang. " "What to abandon today, and since the kiss at that time. I will also pity the people in front of me. "
These poems are full of emotion. The first is, of course, affectionate, and the last two are also hidden, which can be said to be extremely sincere and touching. It can also be seen from here that Yuan Zhen was sincere to Cui Yingying. However, people's hearts will change, and Yuan Zhen finally chose to abandon Cui Yingying for fame and fortune, leaving a negative stigma.
Later, Yuan Zhen, who had a successful career and peach blossoms, also remembered Cui Yingying and his seemingly sincere feelings in the past for many moments. So Yuan Zhen wrote Five Miscellanies to recall his ungrateful past.
"One of the Five Miscellaneous Memories": This year, there is no light in the cold food month, and the night has invaded the bed. I remember that there are two articles attached to it, deep jade and dark fragrance.
Miscellaneous Notes on Poems of May 2nd: The flower cage is full of moonlight, the bamboo cage is full of smoke, and a hundred feet of silk rope hangs to the ground. Remembering that two literati were quiet, they secretly taught peach leaves to send swings.
Miscellaneous Notes on May 3rd Poems: The cloister is surrounded by cold light and shallow night, and flowers and darkness are indistinguishable. Remember to play hide-and-seek before and after the small building.
Miscellaneous Notes of Five Poems (IV): Shan Shiliu is like a leaf of fire, and the brick steps are half hidden. I remember I was covered with two strips, and I was covered with flowers and plants leaning against the new curtains.
"Five Miscellaneous Memories": Spring ice disappears into Bibo Lake, and shadows seem to exist. I remember that my coat was very thin and the clouds on my head faded red and crisp.
The so-called double text is Cui Yingying. Because the word ying ying is overlapping, that is, double text. These five poems describe the love affair between Yuan Zhen and Cui Yingying, Cui Yingying's beautiful mode of swinging and playing hide-and-seek, and Cui Yingying's beautiful manners with beautiful flowers and thin shirts, which can be said to portray Cui Yingying in Yuan Zhen's memory very beautifully.
This also reflects that Cui Yingying still exists in Yuan Zhen's mind. But regrets are useless, and memories are disconsolate. When Yuan Zhen abandoned Cui Yingying, no matter how deeply he described himself in his poems, people always remembered him as an ungrateful man, which made people despise him!
Friends, what do you think of Yuan Zhen? Welcome to leave a message Under the background of entertainment, it is not easy for me to write articles about traditional culture every day. I also hope that everyone will pay more attention to me and share my articles.
