This is a song that transcends time and space, carrying the precipitation of time and the depth of love, and has become a classic that has been praised from generation to generation. Let's travel through time and space together, immerse ourselves in this poetic encounter of the Tang Dynasty, and feel the eternal beauty woven by unknown poets and girls.
i.The bizarre adventure of a lonely boy in the exam room.
In the Tang Dynasty, where culture was at its peak, literati from all over the world gathered in Chang'an to participate in the imperial examinations. Among them, Cui Gu, a young talent from the mountainous areas of Hebei, is the most eye-catching.
Cui Gu is arrogant by nature, can't speak, and has no close friends in Chang'an. He came to the bustling city of Chang'an alone, full of history and a desire for success. During his childhood, Choi Gu's mother died, and his father married a new wife. This filled his childhood heart with loneliness.
When Tsui Gu came home from school to see her stepmother, her stepmother just talked to her coldly, making her feel like a stranger. As a result, Tsui Gu became more withdrawn and silent. He was always studying, hoping to one day be admitted to high school and leave this unstable family.
Fortunately, Cui Gu had a strong personality, and these difficulties did not affect him from taking the imperial examination. With hard work, he can still go far. Eventually, 24-year-old Cuigu traveled to Chang'an to take the exam. It was a turning point in his life.
Along the way, he saw the beautiful mountains and rivers outside the capital, but there was no trace of waves in his heart. After the exam, instead of going shopping and playing like everyone else, he walked to the suburbs alone. He just wanted to find a beautiful place in the spring when the flowers were in full bloom and quietly recall the exam.
Maybe it was because of Cuigu's loneliness and loneliness, when she met Teslin Niang, this young girl had a different feeling. Although the two had only met once, the brief warmth was enough to break the ice that the grumpy young man had built up over the years.
ii.Short session order.
Aunt Cui knocked on the door, and a handsome young girl walked out. She claimed to be Azalan Niang and invited Cui Gu into the house to rest. The little girl listened to Aunt Cui's account of her exam experience, and her eyes flashed with playfulness. Her slender fingers gently ruffled her hair, revealing her white neck. Under the sun, the flush on her face made Cui Gu look a little pensive.
The girl's tenderness and interest unconsciously left a deep impression on the indifferent Cui Go. He began to seriously analyze the current situation of the girl and express his admiration for the prosperous age. The girl listened calmly, with a smile in her eyes.
On this sunny spring afternoon, two lonely young men meet. Although Cuigu is a scholar, she also knows that she should not indulge in improper thoughts. However, Yi Nengjing's innocent gaze aroused a faint longing in his heart. If he could, how he wished that time had stopped and not moved forward.
But the reality is brutal. While they were talking, the old man's cough came from inside the house. Cuigu hurriedly got up to give her father medicine, and she realized it was time to leave. Before leaving, she couldn't help but look at the delicate side face of the mother. It wasn't until Jianniang turned her head and glanced at her indifferently that Cui Gu relieved herself and left with her head bowed with a red face.
Third, in the hurry, we lost the time to meet again.
A year passed, Cuigu returned to Chang'an, completed her studies, passed the national examination, and finally got rid of her stepmother's control. He first went to the village where he had met the girl that day, but did not find her.
The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze"。When the ink was dry, Cui Gu vaguely read something, sighed, and turned to leave. For more than a year, Cui Gu often described the scene of meeting a down-and-out girl in his mind. He imagined the girl greeting him with joy and praising his virtues. Then, they walked hand in hand through the village like newlyweds. The reality disappointed him.
Cuigu lived a simple life during her time in Chang'an. From time to time, he took a portion of his salary as a dowry and a dowry for future marriages. Therefore, not being able to meet her as he wished would be tantamount to ruining an important goal in his life.
She said to herself, I'll forget about this scene eventually, mistakes are human nature. But Cuigu was just comforting herself. The loss of her mother hit her hard. This is one of the main reasons why she has not been hugely successful in her career since then.
Fourth, the touching love of the fairy descending to earth.
A few days later, Cuigu returned to the mansion, still immersed in an obsession. Little did he know that when the door opened, he would be greeted by the tearful face of his young and old father.
It turned out that the little girl went downstairs day and night to find her mother, and washed her face with tears all day long, and Mrs. Cui Gu was sick, and her body was as thin as a rough log. The father looked at his dying daughter and couldn't help but feel like a knife.
My daughter won't survive tonight..."The old father choked up. Treig's heart was cut like a knife, and she ran home crying and hugged her mother, who had long since died"。What we missed, we can't make up for it. "。..My heart was filled with sorrow.
That's when a miracle happened. A little girl who came down the mountain heard Cuigu's call, opened her hazy eyes, and pleaded softly"Don't go ..."。Cuigu was very happy and vowed to marry her. The old father who witnessed this scene was also moved to tears.
But what touched us even more was this woman's persistence in love. Even after waiting for Aunt Cui for more than a year, she didn't let her leave, thinking about it day and night. When she mistakenly thinks that Cuigu has abandoned her again, her despair and sadness are beyond ordinary people's comprehension.
It was because of this dedication and perseverance to love that God favored this earthly mother and pulled her back from the gates of hell. In despair, God gave her the glimmer of hope again. There is nothing more moving in the world than the moment when true love triumphs.
v.My obsession is still not free from lightning.
Cuigu was overjoyed and vowed to marry Teslyn. His grandfather witnessed this scene and burst into tears of emotion. But as Niu Niang's health improved, Cuigu's enthusiasm gradually waned. He began to think about the impact of the union on his career, and worried about whether others would abolish him.
Cui Gu became distant and silent again. She often mourns silently alone, and does not respond to her mother's sweet words. The mother also felt this hesitation. She begged Aunt Cui with red eyes not to let her go, but Aunt Cui just shook her head helplessly.
We can understand Niu Niang's almost paranoid love for Cuigu, but it is also important to examine Cuigu's choice. As a talented man, Cuigu is destined to endure the obstruction and etiquette of the elite in her career. When he marries Niu Niang, he will have to face strong opposition from his relatives and friends. Giving up her career for love is also contrary to Aunt Cui's childhood ideals.
In the social order of the time, it was difficult for young men and women to expect a purely emotional union. Too many stereotypes separate them. We shouldn't blame Cui Gu for not being able to choose between two dilemmas. He also tried to have the best of both worlds.
The moment of choice is the end of the world for you and me.
One afternoon, when it was raining heavily, Tregu came to the house for a walk. At this time, he decided to write a letter to his grandson's father. In the letter, he said that he had decided to go north as an official and would never return to the south; He thanked Niangniang for taking care of him all these years, but he couldn't turn his back on his ambitions.
Cui Gu handed the letter to her grandfather and left the house without looking back. Fearing that the rain would soften his heart, he quickened his pace.
He knew he would never see the beautiful Mother Jesus again. It is not difficult to imagine how helpless and sad she felt at that time. Queigu's departure was a huge blow and pain for the woman she loved dearly.
Maybe he will rush out of the room on a rainy night and shout the name of Cugua, or maybe he will cry bitterly under the quilt until he wants to cry without tears. At that moment, the brilliant spring of the born mother came to an end. She could no longer find the boy she talked and laughed with and took her to a whole new world.
We lament that the world is short and the hearts of people are indifferent. The game of love and ambition often ends with two people who truly love each other passing by.
Later generations of literati added more beautiful pictures to this touching love. They depict Choi Goo eventually returning, marrying a young girl, and living happily ever after. But we all know that this is just the imagination of the literati and artists to entertain themselves. There will be too many external factors in love. Tsui Gu and her granddaughter are just one of them.
However, this quatrain has become a swan song for the ages, evoking many emotions for later generations. This is also the reason why later generations continue to beautify this sentimental story. This is because it has a happy ending, but also because deep down we all yearn for love to overcome all adversity, not just a tragic ending. This is the embodiment of the inherent goodness of human nature. We empathize with our own emotions, but we're also used to using our imagination to mend broken stories.
Thus, this thousand-year-old masterpiece actually carries the hopes and dreams of countless generations. In the end, it becomes a beautiful and sad elegy to commemorate the true love destined to meet the abyss. Most of life's goodness is short-lived. We must not only learn to be nostalgic, but also learn to cherish.
