Some people say: Marrying Su Dongpo in the next life, even if you have experienced thousands of years of love.
Su Shi is a person with a lot of stories, including his emotional stories, among them, the story of him and his first wife Wang Fu can be called a good story.
In 1054 AD, 15-year-old Wang Fu obeyed the arrangement of his parents and married 18-year-old Su Shi.
The relationship between the two is very good, and Su Shi at that time was not deeply involved in the world, full of heroism, and left a lot of happy visions in the face of many life worth looking forward to in the future.
It was just a thin life, and Wang Fu died in 1065. Su Shi's feelings for Wang Fu were so deep that ten years after his wife left, he still burst into tears when he dreamed of it, just like what was described in "Jiang Chengzi":
Jiang Chengzi Yimao remembered the dream on the twentieth day and night of the first month.
Song · Su Shi.
Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation. Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost.
At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown, and I was dressing up in the small window. There are no words for each other, only a thousand tears. It is expected that the intestines will be broken every year, the bright moon night, and the short Matsuoka.
The whole word is combined with fiction and reality, crossing the boundaries of time and space.
The film is realistic, expressing the endless longing and loneliness of the lyricist who has been separated from his deceased wife for ten years.
Don't think about it", "self-unforgettable" say all the emotional outpouring so naturally, no need to deliberately miss, the past suddenly comes, and the long-stored emotional undercurrent is difficult to stop.
In the next film, Su Shi saw the wife sitting in front of the dresser to dress up again, even if it was just a back, she was already silently facing each other, and she burst into tears.
The lyricist imagined that his deceased wife was alone in the wilderness at this time, and on this night when the bright moon was hanging high, it was the grief and helplessness of life and death.
Reading this poem, it is hard for us to believe that this is the heroic Su Shi who "leads the yellow on the left, Qingcang on the right, shoots the tiger and shoots the wolf".
Lu Xun once said: "When you cry for a long song, you must be determined after the pain." ”
Chen Shidao, one of the six gentlemen of Sumen, also praised this word with "sound should be through the sky, and tears should be through the spring".
Compared with Su Shi's fame, there is a very famous lyricist who is not so famous, he is the Northern Song Dynasty lyricist He Zhu.
He Zhu was called "He Ghost Head" by the people of the time, just because he looked ugly, his face was as black as iron, and his eyebrows were prominent and towering.
He is upright by nature and has a chivalrous style, but his lyrics are long-lasting, leaving behind a number of works with a very gentle style.
Among them, the most famous is "Half Dead Tong", which can be compared with Su Shi's mourning work "Jiang Chengzi":
Partridge day, heavy over the door of everything is wrong.
Song · He Zhu.
Nothing is wrong with the door. What is the same thing that comes from the same place? After the sycamore was half dead and the frost was cleared, the white mandarin duck lost its companion and flew.
The grass on the plain, the dew is at the beginning of the day. The old habitat and the new hill are two dependent. The empty bed lies and listens to the rain in the south window, who picks up the light and mends the clothes at night.
The Tang Dynasty poet Li Qiao once had a sentence "Qin mourns and is half dead". He Zhu's poem is also an elegy to mourn the surname of his deceased wife, so it is titled "Half Dead Tong".
In the second half, two small short sentences composed of three characters render a barren and deserted scene——— the grave of the deceased lady is "Xinyuan", and she still lives alone in the "old habitat".
The "new" and the "old", although separated by yin and yang, are reluctant to "cling" to each other.
The lyricist is in his official career, he is a petty official, and he is accompanied by his wife, and he is very affectionate.
In the first half of the rhyme, the two sentences "what is the same thing to come from" and "the head of the white mandarin duck lost its companion flying" are specific portrayals of "Yiyi", which makes people cry.
Finally, the "old habitat" is on display.
The bed was empty, lying idle, so lonely that I "listened to the rain in the south window".
Seeing the lights in a blink of an eye, the common scene of "mending clothes at night" in the past was so familiar and cordial, but now, there is nothing.
What is particularly emotional is that it is not "picking up the lamp" to read, drink tea, and laugh, but to "mend clothes".
It's an unpretentious detail, but it's worth a thousand words.
When He Zhu was young, he wrote a poem "Ask Inside". There was once a thing written in the poem:
His wife sewed winter clothes for him in the hot weather, and he felt that it was not necessary, so Zhao smiled and said, "It's too late to do it when it's cold!"”
He Zhu's family is poor, and he is busy day and night when he is out alone, but the predicament has not changed, and he feels guilty. His wife is virtuous, how can he not understand the meaning of taking precautions?
The affection is all conveyed from a stitch and a thread.
This scene is enough to be unforgettable, when to think about it, when to feel uncomfortable.
The so-called "poor and lowly couples mourn", the love of husband and wife does not have to be vigorous, it is enough to break the intestines.
Reading this, I suddenly felt that the three words "half-dead Tong" were all condensed by blood and tears.
In ancient times, marriages paid much attention to "the right family", followed the "orders of parents, the words of matchmakers", and it was not until the wedding day that men and women met for the first time.
But fortunately, the marriage between Su Shi and his wife Wang Fu, He Zhu and his wife Zhao is loved, and they are in love, which is even more commendable.
Therefore, when the lover is gone forever, the lyricist is heartbroken, and this full of affection is put into pen and ink, and it turns into a deeply touching eulogy.
Jiang Chengzi" and "Half-dead Tong" are worthy of the reputation of "double walls of eulogy"!
