In the world of ancient poetry, there is a love story, like a swan song that has been passed down through the ages, forever engraved in the long river of history. This is the story of the famous poet Lu You and the talented woman Tang Wan in the Southern Song Dynasty, an affectionate narrative that transcends time and space. Their love, like spring flowers, but also like the autumn breeze is desolate, full of not only the praise of literary beauty, but also the deep joys and sorrows of the world. Lu You and Tang Wan, two talented souls, meet in the intricacies of the world, their love story is not only a touching poem, but also a picture scroll that depicts the ruthless traces of time. The love story of Lu You and Tang Wan is a gripping story in ancient Chinese literature. This love experienced family pressure, social concept conflict, and finally ended in tragedy. Their stories not only reflect the concept of marriage and social customs in the Southern Song Dynasty, but also show Lu You's profound emotions and poetic talents.
Tang Wan was born in the family of Tang Yi, a Honglu Shaoqing in the late Northern Song Dynasty, a family that made great achievements in politics and academics. Growing up in such an environment, Tang Wan received a good education since he was a child and showed extraordinary talent. She not only has profound literary attainments, but also has certain achievements in calligraphy and **. These talents were very precious in the society of the time, especially for women, and they were rare. As a ** daughter, Tang Wan's living environment also gave her the opportunity to be exposed to a wider range of knowledge and culture. Her family background and personal talent laid the foundation for her later encounters and acquaintances with Lu You.
Lu You was born in a literary family and has been well cultured since he was a child. His family has valued literature over military force for generations, and has paid attention to the inheritance of literature and scholarship. In such a family atmosphere, Lu You showed a strong interest in literature and history from an early age. Lu You's early education was not limited to traditional Confucian classics, but also involved many fields such as poetry, calligraphy, and history. His love and talent for literature began to manifest itself at an early age. Lu You's literary talent is not only the result of his family inheritance, but also the embodiment of his personal unremitting efforts and deep interests.
When Lu You and Tang Wan met, the two were attracted to each other not only because of each other's talents, but also because of their common literary and cultural background. Their early life set the stage for their later love story. Tang Wan's talent and independent spirit, complemented by Lu You's literary pursuit and affection, made their love story leave a deep imprint on the history of Chinese literature. In this context, their love story is not only a personal emotional entanglement, but also the fate and tragedy of two talented individuals in the social and cultural background of the time.
Lu You and Tang Wan's marriage began with a family heirloom phoenix hairpin, a precious token that symbolizes the marriage of the two families. When Lu You was nineteen years old (the fourteenth year of Shaoxing), he married Tang Wan, and this marriage was not only the union of two families, but also the meeting of two young hearts. However, this seemingly wonderful marriage was soon put to the test by family pressures.
Tang Wan's talent and Lu You's deep affection for her caused Lu's mother to be dissatisfied. In the social perception of the time, women's talent was often regarded as non-mainstream, or even a burden. When Lu You wrote an epitaph for a woman surnamed Sun, he once said, "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented", reflecting the prejudice of society against women's talent at that time. Lu's mother believes that Tang Wan's talent and personality may affect Lu You's future, especially when Tang Wan did not get pregnant within a year of marriage, which strengthened her opinion, and eventually led her to order Lu You to divorce his wife.
Faced with his mother's orders, Lu You struggles between emotions and family responsibilities. In order not to completely sever the relationship with Tang Wan, he built another courtyard to house Tang Wan, and Lu's mother finally noticed all this and resolutely asked Lu You to remarry, and chose the docile Wang woman as Lu You's new wife.
Tang Wan was later led by his family and married Zhao Shicheng, a descendant of the Shaoxing royal family. Under such circumstances, the relationship between Lu You and Tang Wan was forced to be buried in the bottom of their hearts. But fate arranged for them to reunite by chance in the spring of 1151 (the twenty-first year of Shaoxing) in Shen Yuan, and the hearts of both were filled with indescribable pain and sentimentality. This reunion is undoubtedly full of emotional turmoil, and the meeting between the two not only evokes memories of the good old days, but also confronts their hearts with violent emotional conflicts again. Lu You inscribed the famous "Hairpin Phoenix, Red Crisp Hand" on the wall of Shen Yuan, which is full of affectionate thoughts for Tang Wan and endless grief for lost love. Every sentence is full of Lu You's deep nostalgia for Tang Wan, and at the same time, it also reveals his helplessness about fate and dissatisfaction with reality. This poem has become an eternal symbol of love in Lu You's heart, and has also left a deep imprint on the history of Chinese literature.
"Hairpin Phoenix, Red Crisp Hand".
Red crisp hands, yellow silk wine,
The city is full of spring palace wall willows.
The east wind is evil, and the joy is thin
A melancholy, a few years away.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Spring is as old as ever, people are empty and thin,
Tear stains are red and silky.
Peach blossoms fall, idle pond pavilion,
Although the mountain league is here, it is difficult to trust the brocade book.
Mo, Mo, Mo!
When Tang Wan visited Shen Yuan again in 1156, he saw the words inscribed by Lu You many years ago. This poem has become a testimony to their love story and a trigger point for Tang Wan's emotions. Lu You's words are not only memories of the past, but also expressions of unfulfilled wishes for the future. She started with the words "the world is thin, and people are evil" and Lu You's "Hairpin Phoenix". These two sentences express her disappointment in the world and hopelessness for the future, and also reflect her deep affection for Lu You and regret that they can't spend the rest of their lives together. Unfortunately, this affectionate expression became the last lament of her life, and Tang Wan died of depression in the fall of the same year due to long-term psychological pressure and emotional trauma. Her death is not only the climax of the tragedy of the love between the two, but also a major blow in Lu You's personal emotional journey.
"Hairpin Phoenix: The World is Thin".
The world is thin, and people are evil
The rain sends the dusk flowers and falls.
The wind is dry, and the tears are left.
If you want to write about your heart, you will be oblique in your monologue.
Hard, hard, hard.
People are different, today is not yesterday
The sick soul is often like a swing.
The horn is cold, and the night is dark.
Afraid of people asking, crying and pretending to be happy.
Hide, hide, hide!
After Tang Wan's death, Lu You fell into deep grief for a long time. Shen Yuan, the place that witnessed the love between Lu You and Tang Wan, has become a symbol of Lu You's psychological trauma. Shen Yuan became the place where he missed Tang Wan. Every spring, he would go to Shen Garden to pay his respects, and the two poems "Shen Yuan" expressed his deep sorrow for Tang Wan's death and his nostalgia for the good old days. For Lu You, Shen Yuan is not only a physical space, but also his affectionate sustenance for Tang Wan. 40 years after Tang Wan's death, Lu You set foot in Shen Garden again, but what he saw was the scene of things and people. In this place that was once full of sweet memories, Lu You felt the ruthlessness of time and the impermanence of life. In the following decades, Lu You left more than ten poems in order to cherish Tang Wan and recall the encounter with Shen Yuan. In his later years, Lu You would return to Shen Yuan even in his dreams, and his dreams were full of thoughts about Tang Wan. This deep longing and constant memories prompted Lu You to leave many poems in Shen Yuan. These poems are not only a remembrance of Tang Wan, but also a commemoration of their love story.
Lu You's life in his later years was full of endless thoughts and deep grief for Tang Wan. Shen Yuan, the place that witnessed their love, has become a holy place for Lu You to find memories of the past. Whenever the door of Shen Garden was opened, he would step into this garden full of memories alone, looking for those lost years and unspoken emotions.
With the passage of time, Shen Yuan has undergone several changes of ownership, and the scenery and personnel have changed dramatically. When Lu You came to Shen Yuan again in his later years, he felt a deep sense of loss. He records this feeling through poems, which are not only nostalgia for Tang Wan, but also lamentation of the bygone time.
One day, 40 years after Tang Wan's death, Lu You returned to Shen Yuan again. Standing in the place where they once walked together, he realized that everything was no longer human. The ponds, bridges, and green waves that used to be are no longer what they were when they met. Lu You's heart was full of emotion, he picked up the pen again, and turned the sorrow in his heart into two poems "Shen Yuan".
The first poem".The slanting sun on the city draws a corner of mourning, and Shen Yuan is not a restored pond. The spring waves under the sad bridge are green, and they were once shocked. He expressed his infinite nostalgia for the good old days and his lament for the changes in reality. The second poem".The dream has been broken for forty years, and Shen Yuanliu does not blow the cotton. This body is a mountain and soil, and there is still a trace of it. It more directly expresses his deep nostalgia for Tang Wan and his feelings about the impermanence of life.
When Lu You was 79 years old, he revisited Shen Yuan in his dream. This dream is not only a nostalgia for the good old days, but also a deep remembrance of the lost love. After waking up from the dream, Lu You turned this dream into words and created two quatrains with deep emotion.
The first poem".The road is close to the south of the city, and the Shen family is even more injured. The incense wears the sleeve plum blossom in, and the green dips the temple bridge spring water。Lu You expressed his deep attachment to Shen Yuan and his complicated feelings when he revisited the old place. The poems "Incense Wears Guest Sleeves" and "Green Dipping Temple Bridge" not only depict the beautiful scenery of Shen Yuan in spring, but also reflect the loneliness and sorrow in Lu You's heart.
The second poem".Xiaomo in the south of the city is in spring again, and I don't see anyone in sight of plum blossoms. The jade bones have long been in the spring under the soil, and the ink marks are still locked in the dust between the walls。It more directly reflects Lu You's nostalgia for Tang Wan. In this poem, "the jade bone has long become a spring and goes to the soil" alludes to Tang Wan's death, and "the ink marks are still locked in the dust between the walls" may refer to the words inscribed by Lu You on the wall of Shen Yuan back then. These two lines of poetry are full of affection and infinite mourning.
It wasn't until Lu Youzhi was 84 years old that he wrote another poem when he visited Shen Garden again, which was also the last poem that the old man who was already in his last years at that time took Shen Garden as his sustenance - "Spring Outing":
"The flowers in the Shen family are like brocade, and half of them are the ones who knew and let go back then.
I also believe that the beauty will eventually become soil, and the dream is too hurried. ”
This kind of deep, uninformed, poignant and admirable love has become the eternal swan song of love. A poem "Hairpin Phoenix" flows slowly in the long river of literary history of the Southern Song Dynasty like a spring, turning into an eternal memory. This poem crosses the boundaries of time and becomes an eternal symbol of love, and each sentence is a deep lingering love.
Shen Garden, now located at No. 318, Lu Xun Middle Road, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, is an AAAAAA-level scenic spot.
In the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan, what we see is not only the traditional image of a talented and beautiful woman, but also the collision of two sincere emotions. Their stories, like every plum blossom in the Shen Garden, still exude a faint fragrance even after the erosion of time. Lu You's poems are not only a deep remembrance of Tang Wan, but also an infinite emotion for the past years. Their love is not only a profound reflection of personal feelings, but also a vivid footnote to the cultural background of that era. In the long river of history, the story of Lu You and Tang Wan is like a never-ending pathetic movement, so that future generations can hear the distant and affectionate echo in every silent night, and feel the love and sorrow that spans thousands of years.
