Chapter 56: Allusions
"Why do I say that the lyrics of this song are well written?" Professor Xie continued, "This song "Asking Love" was born from Nalan Rongruo's "Magnolia Flower Order: Quasi-Ancient Decisive Words", the first sentence of which 'If life is only as first seen', has been quoted in many literary and film and television works, even if you have not heard it, or do not know the full version of this song, you should be familiar with this sentence......
Yin Qingyue stood on the stage, bowed slightly, and agreed with Professor Xie's words.
And Yao Changgui's forehead began to break out in a cold sweat.
"If the lyrics of this song are just composed with the poems of the ancients, it is not new, but Yin expanded on the basis of the original work, using one word throughout the whole song, and from it led to several, famous allusions in history, and through these allusions, he satiated those hypocritical negative people, thus pointing out the theme of the song: Asking love - what is love? In this world, is there really an eternal love?"
"What Judge Yao Changgui said just now, fans and pools, these are all allusions," Professor Xie stopped and asked the host, "If time permits, let me tell you about it?"
"Talk about it!" Before the host could speak, the students, having already spontaneously shouted.
One person, several people, gradually, the students in the entire auditorium were shouting the same sentence - some were to breathe a sigh of relief for Yin Qingyue, some really wanted to learn more knowledge, and some were making a fuss, no matter what, all to see Professor Xie slap Yao Changgui in the face.
Yao Changgui's face turned red and pale, sitting in his seat, hating Professor Xie to death in his heart, secretly scolding his ancestors for eighteen generations, and then thinking that when the game was over, he would definitely call Zhao Wuming's brother-in-law and ask for more money to compensate for the humiliation he received today.
I hope the host will not let this stinky pedant continue to talk because of time constraints. He prayed in his heart.
However, he didn't know that what he said before had been disgusting to everyone in the venue, and how could someone make up for it for them?
The on-site director of the TV station was also giving the leaders of the middle school attached to the gathering a look, asking him to signal the host to agree to Professor Xie's extension of the comment time; the leaders from the city either bowed their heads silently and drank tea, or looked at Professor Xie with interest, waiting for him to continue.
The host saw the gesture given to him by the leaders in the audience, and immediately said to Professor Xie: "Professor Xie is a master of Chinese studies and Chinese language and literature. ”
Professor Xie nodded: "Then I'll talk about it briefly: the first and second sentences of the lyrics tell the story of the famous talented girl Ban Jieyu during the Western Han Dynasty-
This class Jieyu, because of her beautiful appearance, good moral character, and good poetry, so after being elected to the palace, she was deeply favored by Emperor Liu Biao of the Han Dynasty, and even the queen mother at that time praised her very much. ”
"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, after the two sisters Zhao Feiyan entered the palace, they suppressed and bullied her everywhere, and also framed her for 'witchcraft', so that she was almost beaten into the cold palace.
Although she later relied on her wisdom to justify herself, and Emperor Han Cheng also rewarded many things to make up for her guilt, but she had been disheartened by the intrigue in the court, and she did not want to be involved in these rights and wrongs, so she invited herself to Changxin Palace to serve the Queen Mother, where she spent a lot of lonely and lonely years, and wrote the famous "Group Fan Poem"......
Here I mention by the way that after the death of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, she asked the Queen Mother to go to the tomb of Emperor Cheng to guard the tomb, and died of illness there. ”
Professor Xie spoke clearly, the story was told eloquently, the students were fascinated by it, the guests and judges also listened with relish, only Yao Changgui was like sitting on pins and needles.
"This is the allusion to the 'fan' that judge Yao Changgui said. Professor Xie said the word "fan" very loudly, and some of the students snickered.
"Okay, after talking about the allusion to the 'fan', let's talk about the allusion to the 'pool'......"
Before Professor Xie's words fell, Professor Huang interjected: "Alas~ Since I said it, let's finish all the allusions in the entire lyrics, and also add more 'knowledge' to these 'students' who rarely 'read' ancient poems and don't understand historical allusions!"
Professor Huang focused on the few words, how could anyone here not understand that he was sarcastic about Yao Changgui's own ignorance and lack of skills, and he had to be sanctimonious to accuse others?
Among the guests and judges, a few people couldn't help but "poof" and laughed, but when they thought of the occasion, they immediately endured it and coughed a few times to cover up the past.
"Since Professor Huang said so, then I will say a few more words. The two sang and harmonized, stunned until Yao Changgui's face was swollen.
Professor Xie cleared his throat and continued: "The third sentence of the lyrics and the fourth sentence are also related, but they say two allusions:
The third sentence is written about the queen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Empress Chen was deposed and lived in the Changmen Palace, and she was depressed and often mourned and missed the Son of Heaven, so she sent someone to offer 100 catties of gold to Sima Xiangru and his wife Zhuo Wenjun to buy wine and drink, so as to ask Sima Xiangru for a literary endowment that can relieve sorrow.
And Sima Xiangru made this "Changmen Fu" to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very moved after reading it, so Empress Chen was favored by the emperor again. This is the allusion of 'Nagato buying', and since then, in literary works, 'Nagato' has become a representative of palace grievances, unmet scholars, and frustrations in life......"
Speaking of this, Professor Xie smiled slightly: "Of course, whether the 'Qianjin Buys Fu' has really happened, and whether this "Changmen Fu" is written by Sima Xiangru has always been debated, and we will not mention it here, but it is worth mentioning that this Empress Chen is the prototype of the allusion of "Jinwu Zangjiao", in fact, this is only because the world read a Zhiwei novel called "The Story of Han Wu", and gradually, the story in it is regarded as fact...... Therefore, when you read, you should also divide it, what kind of book you read, and if you read it wrong, it will not be good. ”
The students laughed, Yao Changgui's body was already soaked with cold sweat, his eyes were rolling, and then he rolled his eyes, and he wanted to pretend to be dizzy, Nuojie, who was sitting next to him, suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "If you want to pretend to be dizzy and let the game stop, I advise you to think twice, after all, this game is valued, and you also know that if you mix the game, heh." ”
She sneered, and then said no more, Yao Changgui felt another layer of cold sweat on his back.
His agent, looking at this side from afar, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message, also persuading him to be patient until the end of the game, and comforting him, anyway, he also said that he was born as a farmer, and it is normal to make jokes if he is not highly educated, and it is good to find a way to let the TV station cut this section when it is broadcast.
Seeing the agent's text message, Yao Changgui's heart calmed down a little, and comforted himself: Isn't it just being ridiculed?
However, will things really be as simple as they think?
Yin Qingyue herself, but she hasn't really made a move yet......
