Standing close to Matsuyuki Spring, Shingo Harano said softly, "Butterflies symbolize freedom, beauty, sex, and love, and they can also symbolize death, because death is the greatest freedom and the ultimate in sexuality. Butterflies can also symbolize the soul, symbolizing "things that do not manifest in reality", and things in the spiritual realm, because their form is so thin that we can even think that they have no body.

The most famous butterfly in the mouth of the legend of the Celestial Empire is the butterfly that Zhuang Zhou dreamed of. Zhuang Zhou said: "I dreamed of becoming a butterfly and dancing, is it my Zhuang Zhou dreaming of becoming a butterfly, or is the butterfly dreaming of becoming Zhuang Zhou?" It is no accident why Zhuang Zhou used the image of butterflies instead of other animals. He is the ancestor of Taoism, which emphasizes freedom, does not hate death, and regards life and death as the same. Butterflies are just the right way to express the idea that butterflies are freedom and death, and death is beautiful.

The other two "historical butterflies" are Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. They were hindered by love, and they were martyred one after another, and the butterflies here contain the meaning of freedom - they could not marry freely during their lifetime, but they were allowed to be together freely after death; This contains the meaning of sex and love, but also the meaning of death. ”

"Yes, I really didn't expect that a small butterfly would have so many allusions." Songxue Spring Water was probably surprised by his long words, and then nodded in agreement.

Shingo Harano looked at the painting "Footprints of Butterflies" in front of him, and remembered what he said about Liang Zhu's song.

Some people directly say that Liang Zhu represents love.

Can love be described casually?

The story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is one of the four major folk legends in China, known as the "Romeo and Juliet" of the East. Through Zhu Yingtai's superficial thoughts of rebellion against feudal etiquette expressed by Zhu Yingtai's women dressing up as men, we can further grasp the deep national subconscious of demanding equality between men and women and calling for the return of women's rights in social progress.

Without the tragedy of Liang Zhu, people would not have recognized the weaknesses and limitations of the traditional arranged marriage system, and would not have been able to see the possibility of other options. If the cruel burial of Liang Zhu's marriage has a strong tragic significance, then its ending of "turning into a butterfly" is full of positive significance.

What you can't pursue while you're alive, you continue to "pursue" after you die, and you finally get it. The ending of "turning into a butterfly" is a vivid reflection of the strong social psychology that has been accumulating more and more to impact feudal etiquette and religion. For thousands of years, this outcome has inspired people to fight stubbornly against all stubborn feudal forces.

In the minds of the ancients, butterflies were also a symbol of good luck and beauty. "Butterfly" is homophonic with "Fu", and a "bow" is decorated on the cigarette pouch, implying that the blessing is in front of you and the luck is coming. On the decorative vase, people often draw melons and butterflies together, homophonic "melons and stacks", showing the wish for a good harvest and the continuation of the offspring. Butterfly is also the same as the ear, so butterfly is also used as a reference for longevity.

"Where the light yellow fluttershy, fluttering with me. The green shade and fragrant grass are beautiful and the wind and moon are not solved when they are not flowers. (The butterfly and the poet are like old friends, they have long communicated emotionally, and although it is not the season of flowers, butterflies often come to the window to accompany each other.) And the butterfly written by composer Qiao Yu also has the same effect, "Where do you come from?" My friend. Like a butterfly, flying into my window".

On the one hand, it expresses people's sympathy for Liang Zhu, people who know the story of Liang Zhu, and people who have listened to Liang Zhu's music, will always be deeply moved by this kind of love story that has been sung through the ages.

And what is even more unforgettable is the touching swan song. The incarnation of Liang Zhu is the butterfly that dances closely with each other, which refers to the beautiful phoenix butterfly in Yunnan folklore.

Since its birth, it has always become a model of love for the world and a model of great national sentiments, it deeply contains the national spirit and the ideal of loyalty, the Chinese people deeply love Liang Zhu, and the people of the world also love Liang Zhu! The people express this sentiment in different musical forms, endowing them with noble spiritual sustenance.....

The piece begins with a beautiful birdsong melody blown by the flutes against a soft string trill, presenting a scene of spring and flowers, followed by a lyrical theme played by the oboe in a soft tone. The whole introduction shows a picture of peach and willow green and flowers blooming on the side of the grass bridge under the wind and sunshine.

Next, with the accompaniment of the harp, the violin interprets the simple and beautiful "love theme". This melody plays a pivotal role in the whole work.

How many people listened to this melody and were intoxicated by it. The author has taken great pains in choosing this theme. When the creator created "Liang Zhu", the story circulated in Zhejiang, Yue Opera is a representative drama in Zhejiang, and he was determined to draw material from Yue Opera music. According to usual observations, many famous Yue Opera actors, no matter what repertoire they perform, as long as they sing a passage, the audience will win warm applause to echo it.

The author grasps this singing tone as the basic tone of the "love theme" in "Liang Zhu". This theme is the central tone of the piece. The solo violin begins with a soft and unpretentious A string and plays a poetic love theme in the bright high register. After a repetition on the full-bodied G string, the piece shifts to A minor tuning, and the cello responds to the solo violin in a dashing tone. After the orchestra played the theme of love, it fully revealed Liang Zhu's sincere and pure friendship and mutual admiration.

As far as he knows, love seems to be a tragedy?

It's like me now, my girlfriend ran back to my hometown, and there is a girl he doesn't know how to deal with, isn't this also a tragedy?

"I didn't expect that a small butterfly still contains so many truths, and the people of the Celestial Empire are really very connotative." Songxue Quanshui carefully looked at the painting and said with a little amazement.

"Perhaps, let's go over there." Shingo Harano smiled dumbly, looked at the corridor, and was only halfway away.

Most of the people who came here were middle-aged, and the young people had not seen them until now, but the two of them became the youngest spectators on this promenade.

"Yuanye-kun, what kind of flavor do you say about love?"

Songxue Quanshui turned around, looked at him, and asked one such question.

Shingo Harano was stunned for a moment, not expecting that she would suddenly ask such a question.

After a deep groan, he said slowly: "There are all kinds of flavors, it was sweet at the beginning, and it slowly began to be sweet and bitter, but if you keep eating it, it should still be sweet." ”

Songxue Spring Water burst out laughing, he actually treated love as candy.

The field Shingo who saw it was a little unclear.

Songxue Spring put away the smiling face, but she was looking forward to love in her heart, and she didn't know what her love tasted like.
