"Wujia Po" is a classic old Beijing folk tune, and it is also a commonly sung passage in Peking Opera. Its main content tells the story of what happened between Xue Pinggui and his wife Wang Baochuan.
In the story, the love between Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan is bound by the concept of the family, and the two cannot be together. Later, Xue Pinggui left his hometown to join the army in other places, while Wang Baochuan stayed at home and waited for his return. However, in the ten years since Xue Pinggui left, he has experienced many ups and downs, but he has always been concerned about Wang Baochuan in his heart. Eventually, he gained enough status and wealth to return to his hometown to reunite with Wang Baochuan.
However, when Xue Pinggui returned to his hometown, he found that Wang Baochuan had passed away. He was in pain and decided to leave the place that broke his heart. Before leaving, he came to Wang Baochuan's tomb and sang the song "Wujia Po". This song is full of sadness and longing, and the lyrics express Xue Pinggui's deep longing and endless nostalgia for Wang Baochuan.
This story is sung for several reasons:
First of all, it expresses the praise of pure love. In feudal society, the concept of the family was an important factor that prevented many lovers from eventually becoming married. The love story of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan breaks through the shackles of this concept and shows the pursuit and persistence of human beings in pure love.
Second, it expresses a tribute to loyalty. In the process of waiting for Xue Pinggui, Wang Baochuan adhered to his loyal love, which was very valuable in the society at that time.
Finally, it also expresses a lament for the impermanence of life. Although Xue Pinggui was finally able to reunite with Wang Baochuan, what awaited them was endless pain and regret. This exclamation of the impermanence of life is also a common emotional experience of human beings.
As for the meaning, the story has had a profound impact on later generations. It has not only become a part of traditional Chinese culture, but also a classic in the hearts of many people. This story teaches us that love is priceless and should not be disturbed by any external factors. We should cherish the lover in front of us and stick to our love beliefs. At the same time, this story also reminds us that life is short, and we should cherish the time we spend with our loved ones every day, and not wait until we lose it to regret it.
Overall, "Samurai Poe" is an emotional song that tells a tragic love story. This story not only has a profound ideological connotation, but also has a high artistic value.
