The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival on the mainland, which existed as early as the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago.
Lantern, originally meaning "the night of the Shangyuan Festival", because the main activity of the "Shangyuan Festival" on the fifteenth day of the first month is to eat tangyuan in the evening to appreciate the moon, and later the name of the festival evolved into "Lantern Festival", which is a veritable foodie festival.
At the same time, the Lantern Festival is also a poetic festival. Throughout the ages, there are many good sentences describing the Lantern Festival: "The people look for him for a thousand hundred degrees, and suddenly look back, but the man is in the middle of the lights" "The willow head on the moon, the man is about after dusk." In the Song Dynasty, there are many verses about the Lantern Festival. But not all Lantern poems reveal celebration and joy.
Today's evening reading, from the young writer Li Huishi's book "Flowers and Thousand Trees: Song Ci is a Love Flower", let's take a look at 5 classic Lantern poems and the stories behind them.
Birth Chazi New Year's Eve
Ouyang Xiu
On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day. The moon is on the willow tip, and the person is about after dusk.
On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still there. I didn't see last year's people, and I was full of tears in my spring shirt sleeves.
This poem is Ouyang Xiu's masterpiece. It is said that it may have been written by Zhu Shuzhen or Qin Guan, and it is not possible to examine. Some people also think that it was done by Ouyang Xiu when he remembered his second wife, and it is not possible to examine. But regardless of whether the reason for its birth is dating or mourning, this song "Sheng Cha Zi Yuan Xi" is undoubtedly a masterpiece depicting the Chinese Lantern Festival.
The ancient "Lantern Festival" is equivalent to today's "Valentine's Day", and the "Miscellaneous Notes of the Year" cloud: "Since you are not poor, every house has lights." In the "Tokyo Dream Record", it is said that during the Lantern Festival, "the lights on the mountain are colorful, the gold and blue are shining, and the splendid embroidery is brilliant." The Song Dynasty developed economically, and when it encountered the Lantern Festival, it took a five-day long holiday to celebrate the whole country. On such a crowded night, as bright as day, the secret meeting of young men and women slowly unfolded at such a time.
Last year's Lantern Festival, the flower lights were brilliant, and the writer and the italian met under the moon. This year's festive reunion, the moon is there, the lights are there, when I look back, I find that I have lost last year's beauty, and my feelings of loss are like a sad piece of music, circling around my ears for a long time. This, in turn, hints at the impermanence of life in some ways. "Where life is like a bottle", sometimes, "happy to be young", cherish the present, live in the present, is really more important than anything.
Forever happy
Li Qingzhao
Where are the people in the sunset melting gold and the twilight clouds? Dye willow smoke thick, blow plum flute complaints, spring know a little! Lantern Festival, melting the weather, the second stage is not wind and rain. Come to summon, incense car BMW, thank him for drinking friends poets.
Zhongzhou is full of sunshine, the boudoir is more leisurely, remember to focus on three or five. Spread the green crown, twist the golden snow willow, and the cluster belt is in contention. Now haggard, wind and frost sideburns, afraid to see the night out. It is better to bow the curtain and listen to people laughing.
Li Qingzhao's late lyrics mostly wrote sad feelings with a bold pen, which is a must in the history of words, and is respected by later generations as "Yi An Ti". In her later years, she lived in seclusion in Hangzhou, and many of her lyrics revealed the misery and sadness of life.
This poem is written about the liveliness of the Lantern Festival, which makes people feel as if they are in the prosperity of Bieliang. The next film imagines that when I was idle and entertained, I was young, carefree, and carefully dressed up during the festival. The happy situation of being a young girl immediately came alive on the paper. At the end of the word, the pen sharpened suddenly, saying that today, frost-stained sideburns, haggard and unbearable, no longer interested in the prosperity of the outside, no longer want to go out to meet people.
This song "Eternal Encounter" melts the sense of life and the sigh of the country into the words. The wind and rain of the Southern Song Dynasty, their own comparisons between the past and the present, all contained in this song, the thoughts of the rich feelings and endless charm, reading is heartbreaking.
Therefore, Liu Chenweng, a patriotic lyricist at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, said: "Yu Ziyi Hai Shangyuan recited Li Yi'an's "Yong Yu Le" and wept for it. In the past three years, every time I hear this word, I can't help myself. ”
Han Palace Spring New Year's Eve with Jing Zhongyuan rhyme
Zhang Yuniang
Jade rabbit light back, look at the Qiongliu River Han, cold soaking the terrace. It is the song flower market, Yun Jing Tian Street. Blue coal sinks into the water, clear golden lotus, shadow halo incense. It is like a victory, three thousand nicknames, a total of the moon will return.
Most of the spring breeze is intentional, put the good times of the year, first with the arrangement. Who rides the BMW lightly, drunk and drunk. Dressed in elegant clothes, embracing gods and immortals, wandering outside the flowers. Blame me alone, embroidered curtain locks, haggard skirts every year.
In this poem, Zhang Yuniang contrasts the joys of others with her own sorrows. The young woman arranged a happy drink, a wandering among the flowers. Look at yourself again, people are not old, their hearts have weakened, and they are haggard every year. Youth has not yet ended, and life is full of sorrow.
It is said that that night, Yuniang wrote this poem and fell into a sleep, dreaming that Shen Yu said goodbye to her, saying that Yuniang you are very self-respecting and have not betrayed our vows. Yu Niang pointed to the candle shadow and swore that she would never change her heart. As a result, Shen Yu disappeared as soon as he turned around, and Yu Niang woke up from her dream in a hurry. After that, he fell ill and died soon after. Of course, some people say that Yuniang is not sick, but since then her heart has been like ashes, so she died of hunger strike, only twenty-seven years old.
Zhang Yuniang's parents knew that she had died because of Shen Qi, so they consulted with the Shen family and buried the two together in the Maple Forest next to the city to fulfill their wish of "sharing the same cave after death". Yu Niang's two handmaidens were also temperamental, And Shuang'e actually died of grief, and Zi'e refused to live alone, hanging herself to martyr her master and servant. What was even more strange was that the morning after Zi'e's death, the parrot raised by Yu Niang actually died of grief. The Zhang family simply buried the "Boudoir Sanqing" next to the tombs of Yuniang and Shen Qi, so that their masters and servants could rely on each other day and night and continue their previous affairs. Since then, it has become the famous "Parrot Tomb" in the ancient city of Songyang.
Zhang Yuniang wrote two volumes of "Lan Xue Collection" before her death, and her lexicographical achievements were relatively high, and together with Li Qingzhao, Zhu Shuzhen, and Wu Shuji, she was known as the "Four Female Lyricists of the Song Dynasty". But compared with the other three, her life is short, and her love road is difficult, just like the "Songyang version of Liang Zhu", which is really bitter.
The only comforting thing is that the descendants of the Shen family have been passed down from generation to generation, carefully guarding the "parrot mound" where Yuniang and Shen Qi are buried. Keeping the initial love and keeping the last promise can also be regarded as the best explanation to the jade lady.
Partridge Day, the eleventh day of the first month
Ginger
When admiring the scenery of the alley, the cage yarn did not come out of the horse first. The bald-headed layman has no temple, only a shoulder-to-shoulder girl.
Flowers are full of city, the moon invades clothes, and the young love affair is sad. The spring on the Sand River Pond is cold and shallow, and the tourists slowly return.
Partridge Day, New Year's Eve has a dream
The endless period of fertile water flowing eastward, did not fit the species at the beginning. In the dream, he did not see Dan Qing, and in the dark he suddenly startled the mountain birds to cry.
Spring is not green, sideburns first silk. Don't be sad for a long time. Who taught the years of the Red Lotus Night, the two places of chanting are known to each other.
Jiang Fu was born in the 24th year (1154) of Emperor Gaozong Shaoxing of the Southern Song Dynasty, and lived with his father in Hanyang (present-day Wuhan, Hubei) when he was a child. After his father's death at the age of fourteen, he had to live on his sister until he reached adulthood. He began to take the imperial examination around the age of twenty, and he took the exam several times in a row in ten years. Because he did not have the official status of a eunuch, Jiang Kui's life was always uncertain. In the experience of wandering around, what makes him always haunt and is repeatedly mentioned by future generations is that unforgettable love...
That year, the twenty-year-old Jiang Kui lived in Hefei and met a girl. Mr. Xia Chengtao once examined that Jiang Fu may have encountered two girls, a pair of sister flowers. Either way, it can be called "Hefei woman". Hefei women are good at playing the pipa, and they are very close to Jiang Kui, and after that, there are often contacts, and this friendship is thus concluded. Jiang Fu left more than eighty words in his lifetime, of which more than twenty words (about a quarter) talked about this love affair, which shows the status of Hefei women in Jiang Kui's heart.
On new Year's Day of the fourteenth year (1187) of Emperor Xiaozong of Song, the ship passed through Jinling... On the boat, although Jiang Kui was newly married to Yan'er and migrated with the Xiao family, deep inside, his feelings were also very complicated. In the absence of financial resources, marrying Xiao Dezao's niece is also a helpless move to some extent.
Because of this unspeakable embarrassment, Jiang Fuyi survived more than eighty words, but not only a few words were left for his wife, and it was always a Hefei woman who was haunted by his heart. In the second year of Shao Xi (1191), the thirty-eight-year-old Jiang Kui returned to Hefei, where he finally met the hefei woman, a person whose soul was haunted by countless times, hurriedly met and hurriedly parted.
"Gathering and scattering impermanence" is the ordinary language of comforting lovers, but there are many ordinary words in the world, but there are few ordinary things. Since separating from the Hefei woman on this day, Jiang Fu had never seen her again. One turned around, and it turned out to be a farewell. By the time Jiang Kui returned to Hefei, the woman had already married someone else.
Around the Lantern Festival in the third year of The Reign of Emperor Ningzong of Song (1197), the forty-four-year-old Jiang Kui wrote four poems "Partridge Heaven" in one breath to commemorate his love affair. Two of them are "Watching the Lanterns on the Eleventh Day of the First Month" and "Dreaming on New Year's Eve".
