If these two songs are put together, then the story written in "Nine Songs, Mrs. Xiang" happens when Mrs. Xiang is waiting for her arrival, leaving Xiangpu in the north and turning to Dongting. Therefore, when Xiang Jun, who arrived that night, arrived at Zhu Bei, the appointment place, it was naturally difficult to meet his sweetheart. The work was written from this, which closely matched the plot of "Nine Songs to the King".
The first sentence "Di Zi reduced to Xi Zhu Bei" is quite puzzling. "Di Zi" has always been interpreted as the daughter of Heaven Emperor, and later as the second daughter of Yao, but there is no doubt that it refers to the goddess of Xiang Shui. Generally speaking, this sentence is said to be Di Zi's arrival in Zhu Bei, that is, "Xi Zhu Bei" in "Nine Songs Xiang Jun"; However, this is inconsistent with what Xiang Jun wanted her to come but didn't see. Therefore, some people interpret this sentence as an invitation to you (see Zhan Antai's Qu Yuan), which makes the meaning more fluent.
In the first paragraph of this poem, I lingered on the bank of Dongting Lake for a long time, longing for the arrival of Mrs. Xiang with sincere expectation. This is a very intriguing picture of the environment and atmosphere: the cool autumn wind keeps blowing, the waves in Dongting Lake ripple, and the leaves fall on the shore. I can't see the Iraqi people kowtowing to you. I boarded the plane for a while and arranged the furnishings for a while, but it backfired. Until dusk, Mrs. Xiang didn't come.
Compared with the abnormal phenomenon of "what is the bird in the apple and what is the bird in the tree", this situation highlights the disappointment and confusion that fills the hearts of the characters, which is meaningless. Among them, "the autumn wind is falling, and the waves in the cave are under the leaves" is a famous sentence about scenery, which is very effective in rendering the atmosphere and artistic conception, so it won the appreciation of later poets.
On this basis, the second paragraph further deepened the desire for you. It is a typical artistic technique of pre-Qin poetry to use the grass beside the water to raise the silent yearning for Iraqis and to use the slowly flowing water to hint at the passage of time in the distance. Its advantage lies in the combination of characters and scenes, which is very infectious.
The following elk eating the atrium and dumplings staying by the water are two abnormal phenomena, which are also metaphorical compared with the description of birds and nets in front, and are contrary to the desire to emphasize love again without seeing it. And then like Mrs. Xiang. He rode from morning till night in the anxiety of waiting, and the result was slightly different from that of Mrs. Xiang:
In the eager search, he suddenly had an illusion, heard the call of a beautiful woman and went by car with her. Therefore, the works have the following most imaginative and romantic brushstrokes.
The third paragraph is purely a scene of seeing Mrs. Xiang in your fantasy. This is a dazzling magical world: courtyards built in the middle of the water are all decorated with exotic flowers and fragrant wood. Its colorful colors and rich fragrance are unparalleled.
Here, more than ten kinds of plants, such as lotus, sun, pepper, laurel, orchid, magnolia flower, medicinal materials, Ficus pumila, Hui, Zhi and so on, are listed in one breath, showing the splendor of the venue. Its purpose is to set off and reflect the joy and happiness in the hearts of characters with colorful external environment. Therefore, when the gods of Jiuyi Mountain came to take your lover, he suddenly realized that he woke up from this dreamlike beauty and fell into the pain of lovesickness again.
The last paragraph is not only the same as the end of "Nine Songs Xiang Jun", but also the same sentence pattern. In desperation, as emotional as Mrs. Xiang, she abandoned the other party's gift on the riverbank, but the apparent rejection could not restrain her inner love.
He finally recovered his calm, and planned to finish the psychological process of falling in love with acacia through patient waiting and expectation. He picked fragrant Du Ruo from Tingzhou and prepared to give it to Mrs. Xiang in the distance.
Extended data
Nine Songs of Lady Xiang is one of the eleven songs of Chu Ci, which is dedicated to the goddess of Xiang Shui. It is a companion piece with Nine Songs of Xiang Jun. It is generally believed that Lady Xiang is the goddess of Xiang Shui, and Xiang Jun, the male god of Xiang Shui, is the spouse god. Xiangshui is the largest river in Chu. This pair of gods and Mrs. Xiang reflects the primitive people's idea of worshipping natural gods and the concept of "love between god and man"
Chu's folk literature and art have a strong religious flavor, and the altar is actually a "theater" or "literary world". Take Mrs. Hexiang as an example: when people offer sacrifices to her, female singers or worshippers play the role of greeting; When offering sacrifices to Mrs. Xiang, male singers or admirers play the role of welcoming Mrs. Xiang and express their deep feelings.
They take God as the object and place their simple and sincere love for the world. At the same time, it also embodies the harmony between Chu people and nature. Because of the flesh-and-blood relationship between Xiang Shui in southern Chu and Chu people, Chu people have placed deep love on Xiang Shui, regarded Xiang Shui as a river of love and happiness, and then described it personally.
The image of God also shows the story of joys and sorrows like people, and the God in people's minds is also specifically covered with the shadow of historical legends. Xiang Jun and Mrs Xiang are based on the legends of Shun and his second concubines (E Huang and Nv Ying). In this way, the image of God is not only richer and more vivid, but also closer to people in real life emotionally, full of human feelings.
