New Year's Discourse (2)

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, under the influence of the social fashion of timely fun, self-proclaimed Yi could not help but drift with the tide; According to reliable records, the first thing Bai Juyi Dengke did was to visit the Qinglou, and soon became acquainted with the famous prostitute Ah Soft in Chang'an, and praised the beauty of Ah Soft with the poem "A green water and red lotus blooms, and a thousand flowers and grass have no color". These two poems are Bai Juyi's early works, and were not included in his poetry collection, but at that time they were loved by some merry men and widely copied, so there were manuscripts in circulation; Bai Juyi took a look and found that it was a quatrain that he gave to Chang'an Asoft when he was enrolled in the department fifteen years ago. Bai Ju was susceptible to nostalgia today, and wrote another poem and sent it to Yuan Zhen, saying:

Fifteen years ago, he seemed to be sleepwalking, and he once put his poems together.

Even if the assistant laughs and sings and mocks A soft, it can be known that it is recited to Tongzhou.

In the past, she taught the red-sleeved beauty to sing, and now she is sent to Qingzhou Sima Chou.

I was melancholy and heard the problem, and the rain drenched the wall of the river pavilion.

In "Jiangnan Fengxiao Nine Words Chang'an Delirium Game Gift", he also mentioned Ah Soft:

Reminiscing about the past and traveling with more people.

Living in the same eternal happiness, tryst with peace.

Affectionately push a soft, Gong Yu Xu Qiuniang.

Returned to the deep courtyard together and entered the cave room separately.

Pick the curtain to open the jadeite, Luo recommends the mandarin duck.

Stay overnight and fight for sleeves, and sleep to occupy the bed.

The attitude of staying is connected, staying overnight and holding sleeves to occupy the bed, this story of the Qinglou is told eloquently and does not hide it.

There are a lot of Qinglou in Chang'an, and after Bai Juyi fell in love with Ah Soft, he soon became a prostitute with Li and Ma. And praised it with a poem:

The line shakes the cloud bun and the flower festival, which should be like a neon dress taking advantage of the orchestra.

The glamorous dance skirt is like fire, and the sorrowful song is about to smoke.

If there is a wind, the road can return to the snow, and there is no water, so don't spit out the lotus.

It is suspected that the two hearts are undecided, and the goddess in the rain is a fairy in the moon.

From the above poems, we can see that Bai Juyi was also very romantic when he was young, and most of the book friends felt that I was influenced by the junior high school textbook "Pipa Xing" in Black and White Juyi. In the eleventh year of Yuanhe, when Bai Juyi was bidding farewell to his friend Heliang, he met Pei Xingnu, a woman from Liangqinglou (that is, a famous pipa girl, a famous courtesan in the Tang Dynasty, and a famous pipa player in the Yuan and Yuan periods), so he gave the famous article "Pipa Xing".

He prefaces this work with a small preface:

"In the tenth year of Yuan He, he moved to Jiujiang County Sima. In the autumn of next year, send off guests to Huangpukou, and listen to those who play the pipa at night in the boat. Listen to its sound, Zheng Zhengran has the sound of Kyoto; ask his person, this Chang'an advocates women, try to learn pipa Yu Mu, Cao Er good talent. is old and decrepit, and is committed to being a wife of Jia. Then he ordered the wine, so that he could play a few songs quickly, and the songs were merciful. He recounted the joys of his youth, and now he is drifting and haggard, and he is migrating to the rivers and lakes. After two years of being out of office, he was at ease; Because the long sentence song is given away, where there are 616 words, it is said that the pipa line. ”

There is a line in the poem:

Xunyang Jiangtou night send-off, maple leaves and flowers in autumn.

The master dismounts the guest in the boat, and raises the wine to drink without orchestra.

If you are drunk, you will say goodbye, and you will be immersed in the moon in the vast river when you are drunk.

Suddenly heard the sound of pipa on the water, and the host forgot to return to the guest.

The host and the guest are all good at this, and when they hear a strange voice, they know that their confidants are there. In the poem, Pei Xingnu's resume is described in detail:

said that she was a woman in the capital, and her home lived under the shrimp toad tomb.

Thirteen learned the pipa, and the name belongs to the first part of the teaching workshop.

Qu Ba once taught good talents, and made up every time he was jealous of Qiu Niang.

Wuling is young and entangled, and I don't know how many red silk songs are played.

The head of the cloud grate is shattered, and the blood-colored skirt is stained with wine.

As a result, "the sorrow did not seem to sound forward, and the whole audience wept when they heard it." Bai Juyi thought of his "downfall", and couldn't help but "who cried the most in the seat, Jiangzhou Sima Qing's shirt was wet". "We are all fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we have known each other when we meet?" In the strings and euphemisms, the image of sympathy for the weak is active on the paper! It is from here that many book lovers have laid the image of Bai Juyi as a literati and elegant guest. Of course, as far as poetry is concerned, this poem is still

Sincerely. Scholar Chen Yinke once commented on the poem: "It is not only specially written for this Chang'an's old advocacy of the present and the past, but also the fact that Lian Juan has lost her way." The one who composes the poem and the one who sings the poem will be one. "Tang and Song Dynasty Poems" also said: "Full of the feeling of relocation, borrowing from the merchant woman to send it, there is a sense of sympathy for the same disease." Compared with each other, the sustenance is far away. "The song is all down and suffering, and the words are known. The "Pipa Song" of the Pipa Girl sings the heat and coldness of the world and the warmth of human feelings, and Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" is full of the sorrow of meeting and the compassion of knowing each other. A "pipa song" seems to be resentful and regretful, like crying and complaining, and a "pipa line" is like a song and a tide. It was the Pipa Girl who helped Bai Juyi create a masterpiece that is popular in the history of literature, and her contribution is indispensable.

And Ma Zhiyuan, a famous playwright of the Yuan Dynasty, started from this long poem "Pipa Xing" to create "Tears of Green Shirts", describing the love story of Bai Juyi and his daughter Pei Xingnu.

The story is that Bai Juyi was an official at the time of Tang Xianzong, and he and his friends Jia Dao and Meng Haoran visited Pei Xingnu, a famous prostitute in Chang'an. Xingnu is quite talented, especially good at pipa, she values Bai Juyi's talent, has close contacts with him, and is willing to trust him for life. Later, Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima, and when he left, he made an appointment with Xingnu to marry her. There was a Jiangxi tea merchant named Liu Yi who heard that Xingnu was beautiful and wanted to marry her; the bustard's mother was greedy for money and persuaded Xingnu to marry Liu Yi, but Xingnu insisted on waiting for Bai Juyi. The bustard's mother conspired with Liu Yi and deceived Xingnu that Bai Juyi was dead, and Liu Yi took the opportunity to marry Xingnu. Liu Yi and Xingnu stayed in Jiangzhou at night, Xingnu knew that this was Bai Juyi's office, and played the pipa under the moon to express his sorrows. It happened that Bai Juyi and his friend Yuan Zhi were boating in the river, and when they heard the sound of the pipa, they suspected that Xingnu was playing, so they went on the boat to visit. Xingnu cried and complained about the reason, Bai Juyi sighed with emotion and wrote a long poem "Pipa Xing". While Liu Yi was drunk and lying, Yuan Zhi asked Bai Juyi to return by boat with Xingnu, and he returned to Beijing first, showing that Emperor Bai Juyi's crime was forgivable, and playing Liu Yi to deceive Xingnu by false letter. The emperor issued an edict, Bai Juyi was reinstated as a waiter, Xingnu returned to Bai Juyi, and Liu Yi was punished. Of course, this is a foreign word, Bai Juyi was romantic when he was young, and his nature did not change when he was old, and he began to raise the housework brought back by Suzhou and Hangzhou from Hangzhou.

Fan Su and Xiaoman are two of the famous family tricks that Bai Juyi brought back from Jiangnan Qinglou and brought back to the eastern capital Luoyang. There are many references to his later poems.

Ji people Fan Su is good at singing, and prostitutes are good at dancing. The two of them are famous because of Bai Juyi's famous poem "Cherry Fan Sukou, Willow Small Waist", and Youyun "In the two willow small buildings, Yuan Na has been dancing drunk for many years". They are good at singing the song "Willow Branches", so they are also called "two willows".

Another poem describes the green leaves with cherry mouths and small waists: "The water chestnut holds the sheng spring, and the valley wipes the pipa." The red silk dances with her hands, and the purple silk sings at will. "If there is no specific study of the green leaves, how can Bai Juyi know the greatness of the cherry mouth and the small waist?

It is estimated that Bai Juyi's favorite woman in his life may be Sakuraguchi Taofan Su and Xiaobi Xiaoman. Later, when he felt old and wanted to "send Fan Su back", Fan Su was already "more than 20 years old". In the poem, Fan Su said to himself: "Ten years of the Lord, where three thousand have six hundred days." Bai Juyi's poem has clouds: "Ten years of poverty is Fan Man." ”

It can be seen from this that when Bai Juyi dismissed the family tricks, Fan Su and Xiaoman still stayed for ten years, but they were not among the "three old ugly people who changed their eyebrows". They were about fifteen or sixteen years old when they bought it, and ten years later, when they changed owners, they would be twenty-five or sixteen years old. Let's go and see his poems.

As for his attitude towards women, he has always been questioned, and later there were rumors that he forced his friend's concubine to death. Guan Panpan is the concubine of Bai Juyi's friend, and after the death of his friend, Guan Panpan lived alone for ten years and did not remarry. After Bai Juyi heard about it, he wrote a poem to Guan Panpan, to the effect that his friend died, and his friend's thoughts on Guan Panpan were all in vain. Originally, everything is empty when people die, and this kind of sigh can be said to be very normal. But it can also be understood that the condemnation of Guan Panpan is not meaningful enough and did not die as a martyr. Guan Panpan read this poem and died of hunger strike soon after. There are many records of this matter, and I didn't make it up

Saying so much, I just want to show that history is sometimes not what we see on the surface, and sometimes there is another face under the careful digging.

It's really a bit surprising that I have said so much, but in the new year, I can't help but want to say something, thank you for following all the way this year, accompanied by wind and rain, if there is no you, there would be no today's "Easy Country" This book, if this year, in Xiaojing's code word life, Xiaojing's every chapter, every sentence, every story, can make you happy, can make you moved, this will be Xiaojing's biggest harvest this year, and it is also the most proud thing Xiaojing thinks this year, so thank you, Xiaojing said very sincerely, there is no falsehood of duty.
