Ancient literati liked to use the ya number to call each other, and using the ya number to call the other party seemed to be a particularly popular and particularly rich literary interest, and this ya number often came from the other party's famous poems. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zheng Gu was given the nickname "Zheng Partridge" for his partridge poems, Wei Zhuang was known as "Qin Women's Yin Xiucai" by the world because of his famous poem "Qin Women's Yin"; the Song Dynasty poet Xie Yi was given the elegant name "Xie Butterfly" because he wrote more than three hundred poems about butterflies in his lifetime.
There are also many famous sentences in the Song Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty people also like to use the famous sentences of the lyricists to call each other. For example, the two lyricists of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Qi and He Zhu, because of "red apricot branches and heads of spring troubles" and "a river of tobacco, full of wind in the city, plum yellow when the rain", respectively, received the elegant titles "Red Apricot Shangshu" and "He Meizi"; the Southern Song Dynasty poet Jiang Jie got the elegant name "Cherry Jinshi" because of the famous sentence "Streamers are easy to throw people, red cherries, green plantains"; the Southern Song Dynasty poet Zhang Yan got the elegant name of "Zhang Chunshui" because he praised the spring water of the West Lake.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was such a lyricist, because of the famous sentence in the word "toast the wine to the east wind, plant a double red bean" and got the elegant name "red bean word person", he is the lyricist Wu Qi. Wu Qi (吴绮), courtesy name Yuan ci, was a native of Jiangdu (present-day Yangzhou, Jiangsu). During the Shunzhi period, he was admitted as a gongsheng, and then he was recommended to serve as a Zhongshu Sheren of the Hongwen Academy, the chief of the Promotion Department, the wuxuan division officer Wailang, and later the governor of Huzhou.
Wu Qi's lyrics are based on multi-wind power, Shangfeng Festival, Rao Fengya, which people call "Three Winds Taishou", and the word that won him the elegant name "Red Bean Word Man" is this "Drunken Flower Yin Spring Girl":
Think of the time, remember the time. When the time comes with the spring, the wine is toasted to the east wind, and the double red beans are planted.
The crow crows outside the door and gradually teaches people to be thin. Flower shadow dark window screen, the most afraid of dusk again.
Cherishing spring hurts spring, spring sorrow, and lovesickness is the traditional theme of poetry in previous generations. Being able to not be limited to the shackles of traditional themes and innovate in traditional themes is a test of the creator's talent and writing.
Wu Qi's small words have written new ideas and creativity in the traditional themes of déjà vu; the lyricist intends to be a boudoir and a substitute for love, but it can be natural and true. It is no wonder that the lyricist became famous for this word, and was given the elegant name of "Red Bean Lyricist" by the people of the time.
The heart of the remembrance is like the water of the West River, and the day and night flow east without rest. Although this is a good way to express lovesickness, it is after all a subject written by previous generations. In the literary world, picking up people's teeth and wisdom is not always a glorious thing.
Therefore, in the first three sentences, the lyricist has made sufficient efforts in how to write new ideas about traditional themes: thinking about the time, remembering the time, and making up with the spring. In the way of duet, the person in the lyric repeatedly emphasizes that a certain past moment associated with the beautiful spring is the moment that makes her miss the most, and it is also the moment that makes her remember the most.
The person in the word starts like a long shot in the movie, moving slowly, and finally fixing his gaze on a beautiful picture he recalls. The first three sentences highlight the strong lovesickness of the people in the words, and make the reader realize before reading the following that it is certainly not an ordinary moment, it must be a moment that makes the people in the words unforgettable.
Why do people in the words think bitterly and remember that moment? With this suspense, read the following two sentences "Toast the wine to the east wind and plant double red beans", which gives people a feeling of sudden enlightenment. It turns out that the people in the word recall and lovesickness are a warm and sweet moment of the past reappearance, in which the person and the sweetheart in the word are both bathed in the warm spring breeze, toasting the love for a long time, and planting the red bean acacia tree that symbolizes love.
In this moment, the person in the word must be immersed in a joyful atmosphere and surrounded by a strong sense of love. Of course, such a happy and joyful time is unforgettable, and it cannot be forgotten for a lifetime, of course, it is fascinating, and it is worth remembering bitterly. This duet technique creates a rich and touching acacia atmosphere for the whole word, so as to achieve the artistic effect of grabbing people first.
These two sentences have always been praised, and even won the elegant name of "red bean word person" for the lyricist, fortunately, the lyricist added a "double" word in front of the red bean word symbolizing love and lovesickness, and the emotional atmosphere came out at once, and the meaning of the word also gradually improved a lot.
Since the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei wrote "May the king pick more, this thing is the most acacia", red beans have become synonymous with acacia. Moreover, the red beans in front of the people in the word are planted together with their sweethearts, and this red bean tree seems to be a witness to their love.
And this red bean tree thrives under the moisture of the sun and rain, and grows double branches, which symbolizes that their love is also like this red bean tree.
In the face of this heart-stirring, knot-tied red bean tree, the person in the word naturally remembers the beautiful past of pairing up with the sweetheart in the past, but now he is left alone, things are not human, so why is human affection unbearable? The meaning of the word has now entered another layer.
How can this object and this scene not arouse memories and thoughts of the good times that have passed? Therefore, in the wordsmith's acquaintance and memory, in the overlapping and repeated chanting of the lyricist, the strong acacia emotions of the lyricist are naturally revealed, and they cannot be enjoyed without repeated emphasis. The lyricist is ingenious and ingenious, and in this overlapping and repetitive chanting, in the meaning of the red beans in pairs, the meaning of the words gradually becomes clear.
What is the situation of the people in the words who pass the day by recalling the good times of the past? In the next film, the lyricist conveys an intriguing message through two profound pictures: the first picture is "Crow CrowIng Outside the Door", and the second picture is "Flower Shadow Dark Window Screen".
Let's look at the first picture. The ancients had the custom of folding willows to send off, coupled with the harmonic sound of "willow" and "stay", so the ancients often had the meaning of retention when folding willows to send them farewell. The moving picture of the woman who broke the willow branch from the willow tree outside the door and clinged to her sweetheart to cherish the other, now in retrospect, it is so real, it is so vivid.
Today, the willow tree is still verdant, the wicker is still graceful, and the sweetheart who folded willow hoped he could stay is missing, and the news is slim. At this time, only the cries of noisy crows came from the willow trees, and this noisy sound added a lot of melancholy to people. The words are depressed, upset, and emaciated in endless thoughts.
Let's look at the second picture. The shadow of the flower is reflected on the window screen, first, to illustrate that the person in the word has observed this subtle change, and second, to illustrate the quiet and cold in the room and the length of time that the person in the word has been sedentary. If there is no flower shadow, does it indicate the heroine's dying youth?
So it was not only the window screen that dimmed, but also the woman's fear of the arrival of dusk. Because dusk is the time when tired birds return home and leave people home, the loneliness of staying alone at dusk is even more helpless. The situation of being wrapped up in loneliness and loneliness is the source of people's inner anxiety, and Li Qingzhao, a female lyricist in the Song Dynasty, because of loneliness and loneliness in his later years, once wrote "Guarding the window, how to be born black alone", and depicted the feeling of loneliness at dusk into three points.
On the other hand, the heroine of Wu Qi's pen, her mood at this moment should have the same feelings as Li Qingzhao, but the lyricist is not willing to let her only be similar to Li Qingzhao, so he adds a "and" word after the word dusk, which is a step further than the mood of Li Qingzhao' words: year after year, day after day of hope and disappointment, unbearable and unbearable loneliness and resentment, all conveyed from this word.
The deliberate intention of the lyricist to seek new ideas is also shown again from the word "again", and at the same time, it also establishes his important position in the Qing Dynasty word scene. In fact, in this poem, we can also vaguely see the emotional sustenance of the lyricist, who borrows a feminine tone to write the charm of the eternal theme of lovesickness and parting. Mainland china has always had a tradition of heavy sustenance in ancient times, which has also formed an aesthetic style that advocates subtlety in mainland poetry.
This kind of emotional sustenance is common in Wu Qi's other lyrics, because Wu Qi's filler words advocate bixing sustenance and advocate implicit implications, such as this "Huanxi Sha You sense", which conveys the lyricist's longing for the homeland and his feelings of rise and fall.
Wuyuan moss pin gallery, Han Palace weeping willow reflecting red wall. Teaching people to be sad to kill is the oblique sun.
Heaven prompts twilight for no reason, and everything on earth rises and falls. Poor swallows are only ordinary.
Although this poem has only six sentences, it has a thick connotation and extraordinary meaning, and is one of Wu Qi's representative works. In the film, there are only three sentences, each of which represents an image, and the three images seem to be independent, but they constitute a continuous picture.
The opening sentence , "Wuyuan Moss Lock Gallery" is based on the rise and fall of the historical Wu kingdom as a carrier of sentiments for the lyricist. This sentence is to the effect that the Spring and Autumn Wu Kingdom, which was founded in Suzhou, was eventually replaced by the Yue King' Gou Jian, who was lying on his back and tasting his guts; the carved beams of the former golden and brilliant paintings are now only the historical relics of the ruins and broken walls; the palace garden garden, which used to be singing and dancing, is now as deserted as a moncorro.
The second sentence, "The weeping willows of the Han Palace reflect the red wall", is based on the historical allusions of the Han Dynasty to express emotions. The Tang Dynasty poet Xu Ning once described the grand scene of the Han Dynasty court in the "Han Palace Song": the water-colored curtain flowing jade frost in front of it, and the Zhao family flying swallow serving Zhaoyang. The dance in the palm of the hand is absolutely silent, and the autumn night of the thirty-sixth house is long.
According to the general writing method, the lyricist should then devote more passion to praise, use more praise language, to write such a vibrant, thriving dynasty, but the lyricist then turned his pen sharply, and wrapped up the words with the desolate mood of "teaching people to be sad and killing is the slanting sun".
Here, the lyricist does not comment on it, but truthfully writes the trajectory of historical development, and behind these two sentences, and in the subconscious of the lyricist, there is no doubt that there is a prosperous scene of their past. It is precisely this potential historical situation and the present situation that the writer compares. Therefore, the exclamation in the third sentence seems extremely natural, and it has a feeling of naturalness.
In the third sentence of the previous film, the lyricist writes out the artistic conception of the vicissitudes of the world in plain language, and the words are filled with the lyricist's feelings about the rise and fall of the vast and sad history.
"Heavenly unprovoked twilight", is the first sentence of the next film, the word "gratuitous" indicates that time passes quickly, and this sentence is also the sigh of the lyricist in the twilight of the oblique sun and sunset, what does the lyricist sigh? Look at the next sentence, "What in the world rises and falls."
It turned out that what the lyricist lamented was his confusion and incomprehension about the rise and fall of history, and a sense of helplessness that came out of nowhere, overflowing with words. Wu Qi lived in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and had a deep attachment to the homeland, but he could not express it explicitly, so this tangled emotion could only be pinned on a touch of slanting sun.
Wu Qi believes that the lyrics should pursue a natural beauty and should not be overly sculpted, and Wu Qi appreciates the natural beauty of the lyrics, and this view is well confirmed in this sentence.
But what is even more ingenious is that the lyricist ingeniously embedded the words "gratuitous" and "what" into one or two sentences respectively, showing the confused and incomprehensible attitude of the lyricist when he associates the rise and fall of dynasties and historical changes from the changes of nature's sun and moon and the changes of the wind and clouds.
The last sentence "Poor swallows are only ordinary" is the lyricist's use of the feelings of the previous generation of literati, the famous poet Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty has a famous sentence "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan, the home of ordinary people", Liu Yuxi expressed the infinite feelings of the changes in the world and the vicissitudes of the sea and the mulberry field in the comparison between the past and the present in Wuyi Lane.
Although Wu Qi used Liu Yuxi's poems, she wrote a new meaning. Because in the eyes of the writer, the swallow will not be exhausted by the complicated world, nor will it be confused and confused by the world, and the swallow will not even pay attention to the change of dynasties.
In the contrast between the swallow and the world, the lyricist gets such a sober understanding from confusion and incomprehension: the cute little swallow represents an eternal existence beyond time and space. If you can see through this, you can deal with it calmly, whether you rise or die, just like the cute little swallow, detached from the disturbing world.
The rise and fall of history seems to be vigorous and earth-shaking, but compared with the eternal universe and the unchanging laws of nature, it can only be regarded as a moment in the long river of history. Isn't this a high-level explanation of the Ming Dynasty poet Yang Shen's "Linjiang Immortals" that "many things in ancient and modern times are all paid for with laughter"?
From the above two lyrics, it can be seen that this "red bean lyricist" can not only write a fresh and elegant acacia work, but also write a deep and timeless sustenance. It is often said that words flourished in the Qing Dynasty, and perhaps Wu Qi's lyrics are a good example.
