A 10-minute animated short film called "Acacia" swept the screen strongly, and the United States cried 50 million Chinese people.
The painting style is beautiful and delicate, the style is elegant and classical, and it must be said that it is a work of care. However, these have been unanimously recognized by the audience and will not be repeated here.
Here, I would like to talk to you about the character archetype behind the script, and by the way, interpret Wang Chutong and Liu Niang's "lovesickness".
"Acacia"
One
Wang Chutong (1730-1821), also known as Yu Yang, nicknamed "Red Bean Crazy Nong", Jiading Fangtai people, good at filling in words. The young family was poor, and although they studied hard, they failed to succeed in many attempts.
In the forty-first year of the Qianlong Dynasty, Wang Chutong, who was forty-eight years old at the time, was ranked second class and was transcribed by the Fourth Treasury Museum, and later became the official Shandong. He wrote 40 kinds of books in his lifetime, totaling 632 volumes. His representative works include "Jinan Bamboo Branch Words" and "History of Qi".
The background of the animation "Acacia" is based on the "Words of Wang Zhu's Sending Six Niangs" written by Mao Daying (1735-1800), a scholar of Baoshan in Jiading in the Qing Dynasty.
The original text of the appendix is as follows:
Jiading has six women, the name Xiangping, the word is taken in, the famous family daughter is also, returned to a certain birth.
A certain life is wild and unchecked, the family property is squandered, and the sixth lady is forced to go to the hook bar. The sixth lady was sobbing and weeping, and the false mother fell into the prostitute's house in order to be defiled.
After living on the water, selling beads to supplement the house, planting bamboo watering flowers, the window is curved under a few times, the smoker tea bowl, quiet like a student.
Yue Wuyou Wang Junzhu's talent and thought, committed to it, and made a small shadow to be a small shadow. In the picture, two sentences are used to supplement the scene: "The cold green sleeves are thin, and the sun is leaning on the bamboo".
The bamboo sign was signed with the words "Absolute Beauty" and brought into the capital. A well-known person for a while, the inscription is biased. Anyone who saw Cui Hui's style thought that it was far more than Xiao Niang's paper book.
Bamboo all don't say six words, tune and send "White Pingxiang" cloud: "The song strikes the clouds and scatters the rain, and the wine wakes up the moon and the black wind." The soul is helpless to leave. It's not that it wasn't real. The powder has not been sold, and the remaining fragrance is still in the towel. The sound of the bridge was full of smoke. Sit with sorrow all night. ”
……
Mao Daying records that Liu Niang finally "fell into the prostitute's family", and reading it really made people take a breath of cool air.
In the end, Liu Niang felt that she was "committed to herself and could not", and gave Wang Chutong a painting; and Wang Chutong also sent Liu Niang a lot of poems.
Can't help but make people read and sigh, the two of them have a very good charm of the "talented and beautiful people" on the Qinhuai River in the late Ming Dynasty.
Considering that Mao Daying and Wang Chutong were friends and fellow countrymen of the same era, there is reason to believe that his words are true.
In the animation "Acacia", the six ladies were separated by a door before they got married, and they could not see each other after all.
However, you and I, who are deeply "sadistic" by this scene, can actually rest assured. Because according to Mao Daying's record, in reality, the two not only met later, but also "scattered in the clouds and rain", you and I, Xiangyan lost their souls.
Liu Niang is Wang Chutong's Sixth Niang, with Red Bean He Gan.
Two
According to Mao Daying's "Drama Gull Ju Words", the stories of Wang and Liu Niang in "Acacia" can be roughly sorted out as follows:
1. Liu Niang's real name is Chen Xiangping, born in Xiangmendi, and has been with her neighbor Wang Chutong Since childhood. After the two were of the right age, Chen's parents suspected that the Wang family was poor, so they sent the sixth lady Xu Yifu to a rich family.
After this blow, Wang Chutong studied hard behind closed doors, during which the township test was repeated, but he repeatedly failed. Later, during the Qing Dynasty's Ping Xiaojinchuan Rebellion, Qianlong Te Kai Enke, who was forty-eight years old at the time, was a sergeant in one fell swoop and ranked second class.
2. After Zhongju, Wang Chutong was awarded the title of Siku Quanshuguan (四庫全書館) as a recorder, and was later released to Shandong as an official, and served as a Tongzhi of Ninghai Prefecture.
He was made an official, and his administration was simple and his punishment was clean, which won the hearts and minds of the people. Later, when he went to Jinan to take office, he was deeply appreciated by Yi Jiang'a, the inspector of Shandong, and ruan Yuan, a university scholar, praised him: "Jiangzuo talent is the first, and the famous teacher in Jinan is even more unparalleled."
At this time, Mrs. Wang Chutong was virtuous and had both children and daughters, which could be described as old age.
3. The years are like shuttles, the fingers are hurried, Jiaqing is four years, Wang Chutong returns to his hometown, lives in seclusion Fangtai, and stays idly.
Speaking of Liu Niang, because her husband was promiscuous, the family property was quickly squandered, and in desperation, she actually sold Liu Niang to the "Hook Bar" (ancient performing arts field), designed by the old bustard, and was forced to fall into fireworks.
A few years later, Liu Niang had a lot of savings, fortunately escaped from the land of fireworks, lived alone in Chashui (Chaxi, Nanxiang Town alias), read and watched the scenery, had no relatives, and was lonely.
4. Fang Tai and Nanxiang are not far away, one day, Wang Chutong rowed a boat on the chakra water, overheard the sound of the piano, suspected to be an old man, did not feel the heart, that is, ordered the boatman to dock in, smell the sound of visiting, if not it is played by the sixth lady.
When the two met, each of them wept like rain, and after some bitter complaints and sighs, they told each other about their lives.
At this point, the sixth lady was still alone, and Wang Chutong had already had a group of children, and the two could no longer be possible, so the two were called brothers and sisters.
5. After that, Chu Tong often secretly funded the six ladies and silver two, often coming and going, talking about literature and poetry, like a pair of gods and immortals at the water's edge, and completely ignoring the worldly discussion.
In order to repay the favor of Chu Tong, Liu Niang painted a portrait of herself and gave it to the king, with the inscription "The sky is cold and the sleeves are thin, and the sun is leaning on the bamboo". This is the sentence of du fu's "beauty" of the Tang Dynasty, which means that the beauty is lonely and tall, and the world is independent.
Wang Chutong then signed four words: "Absolute Beauty", which is a combination of one pearl and one pearl.
6. At that time, in the literati circle of Jiading, many celebrities were fortunate to see this painting, and sympathizers wrote inscriptions on it, and none of them accused the two of them.
Since then, this painting has been circulating in the Beijing Division, and many literati and scholars in the Beijing Division have inscriptions, all of whom are fascinated by the beauty and talent of Liu Niang, and also lament the love tragedy of Wang and Chen.
Three
"A certain life is wild and unchecked, and the family property is squandered";
"The six ladies are sobby,...... Falling into a prostitute's house";
"Repeatedly tried and failed" 48 years old "for the Qianlong Emperor to summon the test, ranked second class."
When reading history, don't have a sense of substitution, and don't think you will be as lucky as Wang Chutong.
How romantic the romance is, how realistic the reality is.
On a snowy day, I reluctantly handed her a small poem. In a trance, I suddenly saw her smiling, her high heels clicking, and the snow BMW car outside the door was already waiting...
"Snapping" the car door closed, which was more sad than hatsuki's knocking door.
Straight lovesickness is useless, not hindered by the fear is pure madness.
In the year of Jiaqing, the smoke and rain in Jiangnan, Wang Chutong, who was middle-aged, used to look for it in the Goulan Tile;
And you and I may be in the first snow in our respective cities, in the drizzle, reminiscing about all kinds of things, looking around in a daze.
Hesitated for a long time, helpless, and secretly cursed himself in his heart——
"2B, think so much about it, it's time to pay off the mortgage!"
