Not seen for a day, such as every other three autumns"We are all familiar with this idiom, and it is usually used to describe the deep longing between people, especially the infatuation between lovers.
However, you know what? In ancient times, "Sanqiu" did not necessarily represent what we understand in modern times"Three years"。"Autumn"The word is in the oracle bone inscription, and the following is"Fire", above is the image of an autumn insect, which, taken together, indicates that the grain is ripe in autumn.
So,"Autumn"The original meaning of the word is:"Harvest", and the harvest season is"Autumn"。
Autumn"The word not only represents the three autumns, but also represents disasters, bad things and the right time, it has the meaning of bleakness and withering, and represents a sad mood.
It is also often used for things related to prisons"Autumn"Word expression.
In this poem, the poet skillfully uses the three rhetorical devices of Fu Bixing to make it more vivid and interesting. "Picking kudzu"、"Cai Xiao"with"Caiai"The actual writing uses the technique of Fu to make the emotion more real and intimate. "
Not seen for a day"The continuous use of the emotion makes the emotion deeper, and the use of the technique of comparison, just like our ranking, makes people feel shocked.
And after that"Such as March"、"Such as three autumns"、"Such as three years old"It is the use of fun, like an analogy, which makes people feel novel.
So, why is it that when you pick kudzu, you don't see it for a day like March, when you pick Xiao, you don't see it for a day, and when you don't see it, it's like three years old?
In my opinion, these are the three stages of acquaintance, acquaintance, and love between men and women, and they present a progressive process emotionally.
Kudzu is an edible plant that generally blooms in July and August and bears fruit from August to October. The first time of this man and woman is the season of picking kudzu, and the two meet and fall in love with each other.
For them who met for the first time, they didn't see each other for a day, such as every other three months, and the love was there, but it had not reached a certain level. Next"Cai Xiao"The seasons are the stage when emotions are more in-depth.
This season, the emotions of the two have penetrated to the extent of knowing each other, and they have not seen each other for a day, such as every three autumns, and their hearts are full of thoughts and expectations. Last"Caiai"The season is the stage of the deepest emotion.
This season, the relationship between the two has reached the level of falling in love, and they haven't seen each other for a day, such as every three years old, and their hearts are full of deep love and reluctance.
In general, this poem vividly depicts the three stages of acquaintance, acquaintance, and love between men and women through the rhetorical technique of Fu Bixing, which makes people feel the progression and deepening of emotions.
In the poem, the season of Cai Xiao marks the sublimation of their feelings, perhaps to the state of "not yet lovers". Therefore, at this moment, they have not seen each other for a day, as if three seasons have passed.
However, this "three seasons" does not refer to three seasons, nor to three years, but to three quarters, i.e., nine months. Because in ancient texts, "Sanqiu" is often used to mean September or the whole autumn.
In this poem, "three autumns" is used as an analogy, and its length of time should be between three months and three years. Therefore, the "three autumns" at the time of harvesting represent at least three months to three years, of which nine months is the most plausible explanation.
However, in modern times, "three autumns" is more interpreted as three years, which may be a process of language evolution.
It turns out that the word "Huan" has two pronunciations, one is pronounced "xuān", which refers to the beautiful dance movements of women, which is very suitable for girls' names; The other is pronounced "huán", which is often used in the good name of the library, such as "嫏嬛".
But after the TV series "Zhen Huanzhuan" was broadcast, we were all used to reading "Huan" as "huán", and the pronunciation of this word was changed by the public, and no one struggled with which pronunciation was more appropriate.
This is precisely the meaning of the existence of words, that is, to serve language, and as language is constantly changing, words must adapt accordingly. Therefore, we should adapt the text to the language, rather than the language to the words.
In the season of Caiai, a couple in love does not see each other for a day, such as every three autumns. This is a vivid depiction of the emotion of separation in traditional Chinese culture, expressing the deep longing of couples in love.
In this poem, natural time and lover's psychological time are intertwined, which together interpret the pain of separation and the depth of longing.
Through the reading of ancient books, we understand that the "three autumns" in the eyes of the ancients do not simply refer to three months, but can also be the whole autumn, or even three quarters, which is the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture.
