Classical poetry occupies an important position in China's traditional culture, especially the Song Ci, which is rich in meaning, fresh and timeless, and has always been praised by people.
The Qingyu Case is a very beautiful word card in the Song Dynasty, not only liked by the people at the time, but also loved by today's readers, but among the Qingyu Cases that have been handed down, there are only two songs that are the most widely spread and can be called classics, one from He Zhu and one from Xin Qiji. Today, I revisit their masterpieces and feel the beauty of Song Ci.
He Zhu's "Qingyu Case".
He Zhu was born in the imperial family and married the daughter of the royal family, but because Geng Jie was upright and did not flatter the powerful, he had no career; He has all kinds of tenderness, and his lyrics are sad and beautiful, and he will eventually be famous for eternity because of the song "Qingyu Case".
The full words are as follows:
Ling Bo is only on Hengtang Road, but he sees and Fangchen goes. Who is the year of Jinsehua? Yueqiao Flower Courtyard, Zhuhu Window, only Spring Knowledge.
Feiyun is in the twilight, and the color pen has a new question to break the intestines. If you ask how much leisure is it? A Sichuan tobacco, the city is full of wind and flocculents, and the plum is yellow when it rains.
In the Song Dynasty, the street market in Hengtang was already quite prosperous.
He Zhu, a man from the Central Plains, fell in love with Suzhou when he was still an official, which is both prosperous, leisurely, noisy and quiet. After retiring, he made up his mind to settle in Hengtang.
One day, I inadvertently passed by a girl at Tingziqiao, and between the lightning and flint, a song "Qingyu Case" that was sung for later generations was born, and immediately amazed the world.
I'll try to reinterpret it in modern Chinese:
Your light steps refused to come to Hengtang, and I could only stop and gaze, watching you go away in a piece of fragrant dust. But I wonder who you are with now, spending this time together?
Is it in the bustling paved courtyard with curved bridges, or is it in the Zhu Hu carved windows among the flowers under the moon? Where is your secluded place? I'm afraid only the spring breeze will know where you are!
Clouds slowly swam in the air, and small islands overgrown with dusks loomed in the twilight. After a long time, the twilight has gradually faded; Disturbed, the beauty is gone, and I have the right to write down the poems with colored pens!
How deep is my sorrow? It's like the tobacco all over the place, the catkins flying in the wind all over the city, and the endless rain when the plums are yellow!
The last three sentences of the poem "Qingyu Case" "A Sichuan tobacco, the city is full of wind and flocculents, and the plum is yellow when it rains" has been rated as a famous sentence through the ages.
These three sentences, respectively, use grass, flocculent, and rain to metaphorize the breadth, sorrow, and length of sorrow, and the artistic conception is richer and more far-reaching than "asking you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river flowing eastward (Li Yu)", only afraid of the Shuangxi boat, and not carrying a lot of sorrow (Li Qingzhao)", with richer emotions and more far-reaching artistic conception.
In addition, "Sichuan Grass" is in the wilderness, "Wind and Flooccular" is in the city, and "Plum Yellow Time Rain" is in the dense water vapor in the south of the Yangtze River.
Huang Tingjian, a member of the literary world, saw these sentences and sighed: Only He Zhu can write good words about Jiangnan and break the intestines.
It is worth mentioning that before He Zhu, few people cared about the word plate Qingyu case, and after his poem became an instant hit, the poems of this word plate gradually increased. Therefore, He Zhu's Qingyu case can be called unprecedented.
Xin Qiji's "Qingyu Case".
Another person who pushed the word "Qingyu Case" to the pinnacle was Xin Qiji, a lyricist.
His words "Qingyu Case: Yuan Xi".The full text is below
The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.
The moth snow willow **wisps, the laughter is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim.
This poem is based on the Lantern Festival as the background, describing the joyful atmosphere of the festival in detail, and the beautiful scenery is intertwined to become a beautiful scenery.
And in this scene, there is a strange woman who has no sense of the beautiful scenery, stays away from the bustle, and moves towards the direction she has determined.
As the main perspective of the lyricist, he kept shuttling through the crowd, just to find the beautiful woman. Finally, in the "dim lamp", "the man" was found.
The whole description is extremely detailed, and the whole poem uses metaphors and exaggerations to describe the content in detail, which is a typical graceful writing style.
The last three sentences of "Qingyu Case: Yuan Xi": "The crowd is looking for him, and suddenly looking back, but the person is there, and the lights are dim", which was rated as a good sentence for the ages.
When you first read this word, many people will mistakenly think that the "person" in the sentence is a beautiful woman, a lover who is in Xinqi's heart.
However, after understanding Xin Qiji's life deeds, it can be found that "that person" does not seem to be a beautiful woman, and the whole poem does not seem to describe hazy love.
Xin Qiji has the lofty ambition to regain the lost land, but he was hit by reality and had no way to serve the country. In this way, "beauty" refers to the goal of life that Xin Qiji can never reach.
However, such an explanation does not seem to be all that appealing.
And what really made this song famous was that Wang Guowei praised it as the third realm of life.
This means that after experiencing setbacks and tribulations, after being constantly polished by setbacks, or perhaps when they are discouraged, they finally mature and grow up, and finally achieve success.
The process of quantitative change to qualitative change may be rugged and full of thorns, but I believe that as long as we sincerely work hard, we will always find "another village" and "the person who is in the middle of the light".
Conclusion: The two Qingyu cases have made this word card, and as for later generations, they have not been able to surpass these two classics.
Li Bai and Su Shi, who is the "first genius of the ages", Song Shenzong broke the gap between the two in one sentence.
