"A Dream of Huang Liang" is from Shen Jieji's "Pillow Record" in the Tang Dynasty. In the seventh year of Tang Kaiyuan (719), the Taoist priest Lü Weng met Lu Ying, a poor scholar, in a guest house on the Handan Ancient Road, and Lu Ying lamented that he was poor and destitute, his life was difficult, and his ambitions were difficult to extend. Lu Weng then took a celadon pillow and let Lu Ying sleep on it. Lu Ying fell asleep because of his pillow, and enjoyed the glory and wealth of the world in his dream. After waking up from the dream, he saw that the yellow rice that the shopkeeper was cooking was not yet cooked, and Lu Weng smiled at the opposite side and said, "Fun, right?" Lu Ying couldn't help but feel sad for a long time. Thus he had an epiphany about life and no longer longed for fame.
This story projects that Taoists see through the red dust, abandon worldly distractions, fame and fortune, and transcend the worldly enlightenment and avoidance of the world. For more than a thousand years, countless works of poetry have been associated with it. According to the author's search, there are about 200 poems with the theme of the Dream of Yong Huangliang, and if you talk about the use of dictionaries, there are many more.
Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty wrote in "Fisherman's Pride , Ping'an Xiaoqiao Qianzhang Hug": "The afternoon pillow comes to smell the birds, sleeps like listening to the morning rooster, and suddenly remembers the old man and the current boss." Greedy dreams, dazed forgetting Handan Road. The author wakes up from sleep to hear the sound of birds, thinks of "listening to the rooster" when he was in politics in the early dynasty, trances like a world away, and laments that he is old; at this time, he loves leisurely afternoon dreams, and has lost the yellow sorghum illusion dream of "building a meritorious tree name, going out and entering the picture" made on lusheng Handan Road. The lyrics reflect the author's interest and mood in life after retiring from the political stage: tired of his career and infinitely yearning for nature.
In the first year of the reign of Emperor Zhezong of Song (1094), Su Shiben, who was nearly a year old, was serving as a zhizhou in Dingzhou (定州, in modern Dingxian County, Hebei), when suddenly a holy decree came that he would be demoted to Yingzhou (英州, in modern Yingde, Guangdong). On the way south, he lamented that the world was changeable and his career was difficult, and wrote "Colleagues who were ordered to send Dingwu on the way to the south": "Thousands of personnel and tens of thousands of heads, when there are joys and losses, when there are worries." I only know that the three princes of Zishou are noble, and I don't feel that Huang Liang is sleepwalking. Seeing enlun Linding Wu, he was suddenly divided into posts and went to Yingzhou. If you go south to the side of Jianggan, rest in the old xunyang restaurant. The world says that the merits are good, but who really understands the empty taste of the yellow sorghum dream of "when the time is good and when the time is lost." Of course, Su Shi is a broad-minded and interesting person, who is still optimistic and open-minded in the face of the ups and downs of life, and takes positive actions. He also said that if he had passed by the Xunyang River this time, he would certainly not have stayed overnight in the restaurant where "the young people of the Five Tombs were fighting over their heads", because that was once the place where Bai Ju lived and lived. Through the verses, we can feel the harm caused by the official tilt in the era of "you sing and I appear" ("Dream of the Red Chamber"). This poem not only reflects the author's sober understanding of reality, but also reflects his ideals in life.
Since ancient times, there have been many people who pursue fame and profit. In the Yuan Dynasty, Ji Yi wrote in the "Brahman Introduction to Ancient and Modern Disturbances": "Most of the ancient and modern disturbances are competing for fame. Boats and horses are crazy. In the end, meritorious cause, pay the dream of yellow sorghum. The author uses the "Huangliang Dream" to express his ridicule and criticism of the worldly ideas of fame and fortune. Tang Yin of the Ming Dynasty has a sentence of "Remembrance of Qin'e Wang Shouxi's Birthday" with the sentence "The song on the beam is around, and the yellow sorghum dreams are presumptuous", to the effect that although the song at this time is beautiful and moving, and the afterglow is endless, those who are well versed in the world know that in the end it is only a dream, and the great beauty of the world will eventually be Huang Liang. The opening poem of the Ming Dynasty Feng Menglong's "Awakening to the World, Hengyan, Lonely Life returning to the Dream" is cloudy: "Dream short dream long fate bottom matter, Mo greedy magnetic pillow mistaken yellow sorghum." This "magnetic pillow" corresponds to the cyan porcelain pillow given to Lu Ying by Lü Weng in the "Pillow In the Book", and also refers to the dream of yellow sorghum. The author uses the words of chance and the metaphor of huangliang to warn the world that it is time to let go and not to pursue fame and fortune too much. Cao Xueqin's "Dream of the Red Chamber" of the Qing Dynasty wrote: "The sub-lineage of mountain wolves, dezhi is rampant." Golden boudoir willow quality, a load to the yellow sorghum. The gist of the last two sentences is that the girl is delicate, like a willow, cannot withstand the destruction, and dies in a year. This sentence refers to Jia Yingchun's misery after marrying Sun Shaozu, and he died a miserable death a year later. The "yellow sorghum" here comes from Shen Jieji's "Pillow Record".
Zhang Gong, a revolutionary activist during the Xinhai Revolution, was a prominent journalist who was imprisoned in Jinling Prison. In the face of doom, he was awe-inspiring in his righteousness, strong and indomitable, and wrote a poem "Prison Mouth Occupation", which has a sentence cloud: "The magnetic pillow has the edge to sleep, and Jin Dan has no technique to stay in decline." At that time, in the situation of "seeing things at the wrong time, being like a puppet and being led by a puppet", the author borrowed the allusion of Huang Liang's dream and held high the banner of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism in his poems to express his revolutionary spirit of pursuing truth.
In 1929, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, and others led most of the Red Army to march to western Fujian, captured Longyan three times, and established the people's revolutionary power in Shanghang, Longyan, Yongding, Liancheng, and Changting, carried out the agrarian revolution, and created the revolutionary base areas in western Fujian. Mao Zedong was inspired by this victory and sang "Qing Ping Le Jiang Gui War". There is a sentence in the word: "Sprinkling into the world is a complaint, and a pillow of yellow sorghum reappears." "The gist is that the warlord melee has brought disaster to the masses of the people, and the warlords are fighting with each other and trying to defeat each other, which is just a beautiful dream of Yellow Liang." First, he used the word "sprinkle" to describe the disaster as many as tuotuo rain; and then cleverly used "a pillow of yellow sorghum" to express the author's contempt and ridicule for the warlord melee.
It can be seen that the dream of HuangLiang, as an allusion, has a long history in Chinese poetry culture and is appreciated by both elegant and customary. The ancient frustrated literati, out of envy, or helplessness, or indignation, used the Huangliang Dream as the medium and skillfully used various techniques to convey their own emotions. In modern times, poetic works involving Huang LiangMeng have different spiritual connotations and literary characteristics. The world is different, and the culture has been passed down through the ages.
