Chapter 141: Shame and Illusory Totem
"Beauty is like this, it's a pity that the life is not long, maybe Bachelor Su's talent is too vigorous, just like a tree, so that the lives of the two beloved wives become as weak as grass, this is in response to Brother Su's sentence 'This matter is difficult to complete', is all this the destiny of heaven?" Thinking of the two two sisters who were red-faced, Concubine Wen sighed sadly.
"Do you believe in Destiny?" Concubine Wen asked everyone resentfully.
"Believe." Most people say in unison.
"I don't know, whether I should believe it or not." Concubine Wen said that she didn't want to say it very absolutely.
"Fortunately, Dongpo wrote a dream poem for his first wife, 'Ten years of life and death, without thinking, forgetting each other. Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation. Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost. At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown, Xiaoxuan window, dressing, looking at each other without words, only a thousand tears. It is expected that the intestines will be broken every year, the bright moon night, and the short Matsuoka. Buddha Yin said.
"Although it is a eulogy, it is also written poignantly and charmingly, not scary at all, the beloved wife in the words is so beautiful and gentle, but why did you write this poem, the little sister does not know, please talk about it with Brother Foyin." Concubine Wen pleaded.
"This good wife who knows books and etiquette, takes care of Dongpo meticulously, and suddenly loses his beloved wife, who can bear it, in the past ten years, he was forced to leave the court due to differences with the Tongfa faction, running north and south, and suffering from wind and frost. Political frustration and deep nostalgia for his deceased wife made him write this sad and desolate but not lacking in warmth and affection. ”
"I miss my little brother Dongpo, marry one, and the other dies early; The strings are broken, but fortunately, the poor monk has never married a wife, and I have never killed others. Somehow, in front of the innocent and pure Concubine Wen, the Buddha seal also became unintentional.
Concubine Wen felt that it was a bit cruel to treat a great writer like this, and comforted her softly: "Brother Su, please don't care, it's not your fault, and it's not the result of your side's hard life, their weak lives, and mutual punishment." So, you don't have to blame yourself, it's their fate, if every couple has to do a fortune before marriage, how much fun is it?
There are also several couples who have lovers who eventually become married, so it's better to resign yourself to fate, what do you say? ”
"Concubine Wen is reasonable." The warriors were simply fascinated and agreed in unison.
"Dare to ask Brother Su, have you ever 'played' a word for the 'Continued Strings'?" Concubine Wen always paid attention to the status of these wives in the hearts of great writers.
Su Shi sighed and said sadly: "Due to the busy government affairs at that time, I didn't leave a eulogy, I'm really sorry for this string, but my brother Su Zhe once made an essay called "Sacrifice to the Dead Sister-in-law Wang's Wen", in the future, you can find it and read it." ”
When Chaoyun heard this, he couldn't help it anymore, and asked in a lost voice: "Xianggong, my third string has long been sick, and I don't know when it will be broken, dare to ask, will you write a poem or a word for me?" ”
"Don't scare the old body anymore, I can't stand any toss anymore, if that's the case, I naturally won't forget you, you are my blood, which has already flowed all over my body."
"Xianggong finally met the time, and finally plucked the heartstrings of his wife again, and the little sister thanked me first." Chaoyun was shy and said with a red face.
Everyone present was shocked, and Concubine Wen exclaimed: "Since ancient times, there have been many sad partings, not to mention life and death, Su Shi's wife and concubine are not in vain!" ”
Su Shi said: "This is a long life, the vast sea of suffering, fortunately there are poems that do not leave the left and right, there are red sleeves to add fragrance to the left, this life has long been no regrets, Concubine Wen Niangniang tirelessly visited the old body, the more I was moved inexplicably, now, the sister of the concubine Wen who is full of pearls has the honor to talk about poetry with everyone, full of wind and life, so that the old body of the Jing room Penghu suddenly shines brightly, and the old body and Chaoyun are grateful. ”
"The mouth can speak, the body can act, and the pen can sing, it is really the treasure of my Great Song Dynasty, bachelor, please be polite." Concubine Wen said with a smile.
"Also, you can cook it in the kitchen." Buddha Yin continued to talk, causing everyone to laugh wildly, and Su Shi also laughed so happily.
As if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "Master Su, is the show about to start?" ”
"Oh, look at my memory." Su Shi slapped his head violently.
"Let's go, let's see the show."
"Concubine Wen, will you take a carriage or walk?" Chaoyun asked with concern.
"Anbu is a car, and your bachelor has a word first."
"Okay, it's worthy of being a mother who learns and uses it well."
Along the way, the concubines learned from Su Shi's mouth:
The unicorn dance is a Hakka traditional custom, it is a mythical beast in Chinese folklore, as early as the Zhou Dynasty and the dragon, phoenix, turtle and called the "four spirits", and the first of the "four spirits", is a symbol of peace and auspiciousness. It not only has the value of aesthetic appreciation, but also has the research value of literature and art, religion, folk customs and history, which is a valuable property left by the ancestors to the descendants of China. Guangdong is the area where the unicorn dance is widely spread. Qilin dance is a form of folk art performance brought from the north to the south by the Hakka, accompanied by gongs and drums and suona, with the style of the flower festival in the northern region of the Yangtze River, which is different from the Lingnan music of Guangdong, and is the art and culture of the Hakka people from generation to generation. The unicorn is a kind of auspicious benevolent beast in ancient legends, and the Hakka people regard it as a mascot, symbolizing auspicious peace, smooth wind and rain, and national peace and security. The unicorn dance is a popular folk dance that expresses the mood of the farmers after a good harvest after their hard work. According to historical records, the Qilin Dance was originally a performing art in the imperial palace, called the "Qilin Sacred Dance", and it was a necessary performance in various royal celebrations.
The unicorn resembles a deer, with a single horn, a whole body with scales, and a tail like a cow. It is dressed in scale armor, and its dance is powerful and vivid, which is very distinctive.
Coming to an open space, everyone watched the performance attentively, only to see a young man dancing the unicorn head, a dancing unicorn tail, with the percussion playing a variety of rhythms of light, heavy, slow and urgent, showing the process of unicorn activities and joy, anger and sorrow.
After watching, Concubine Wen said with mixed feelings: "The most beautiful thing in the world is life, if we can see the original appearance of the unicorn, how good it would be." ”
"That's why Mr. Su has the classic sentence 'I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together'." Buddha Yin said.
