Chapter 158: Mountain Ghost Song (1)
Just when Lan was annoyed, another person stood up in the play.
"Madame, don't be anxious. Since Madame knows that this scene was made by Qu Fuzi, I wonder if Madame can understand the meaning expressed by Qu Fuzi? ”
Lan Qingyan looked at the scene in front of her with interest.
"You're so confident. I don't know how you understand that? ”
The woman smiled calmly.
The witch dressed as a mountain ghost was happily floating among the mountain kuma, who greeted the gods.
From the poet's exquisite description of the sorcerer's costume, we can know how beautiful the mountain ghost in the legend of the Chu people should be. The poet has the word "if", and her figure flickering between the mountains and kuma, giving people an ethereal and magical feeling when she opens the pen. ”
She said, looking at Lan Qingyan again. Lan Qingyan didn't react, just closed her eyes and listened to her quietly.
A girl dressed in a lily, a girl with a waist girdle, and a fresh and green girl, that is the unique style of the goddess of the mountains and forests.
At this moment, her eyes are flowing slightly, containing deep affection; With a smile, the teeth are white and the lips are red, which makes the smile shine!
"It is both shy, and it is suitable for laughter, and the focus is only on describing its eyes and smiles, but it is more light and expressive than the "Book of Songs, Weifeng, Shuoren", "the hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, and the collar is like a grub", which seems to be more light and expressive......
When Lan Qingyan heard this, she couldn't help but snort coldly, but she didn't interrupt her.
The witch dressed up like this was intended to attract the possession of the gods, so it was followed by a sentence "Zi (referring to the gods) admires the good and slender", and the tone is also designed according to the legendary mountain ghost character.
The opening is undisguised boasting and self-praise, revealing a lively and hearty attitude. This is a portrait of a mountain ghost through the witch's costume and tone, which should be said to be extremely exquisite.
The poet still thought that the atmosphere was a little colder, so he rendered her chariot entourage in a strong color: "Take the red leopard and follow the civet civet, and the Xinyi chariot is ...... to the laurel flag."
The woman said, suddenly and deliberately pausing again.
It's really a grandiose and cheerful journey to welcome the gods!
The fiery leopard, the colorful civet cat, and the pen-nib-shaped flowers and the fragrant cinnamon branches, the poet used them as chariots to welcome the gods and witches, which not only fit the environment and identity of the gods to be welcomed, but also set off the atmosphere of her hands burning flowers and branches, laughing and singing, which was particularly cheerful and enthusiastic.
The witch full of joy was only delayed by the high mountain road, but she was unable to receive the mountain ghost girl (this is of course conceived according to the custom of "wishing to worship" and the gods do not come to the scene)!
Annoyed, sad, and at the same time with a glimmer of hope, she began to search in the mountains and forests.
"It is the use of constantly changing images in the poem that vividly expresses the process of finding the witch and its subtle psychological ......"
Seeing that Lan Qingyan still didn't have any reaction, she simply continued.
She suddenly climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down on the deep forest, but the mist that melted and rose obscured her anxious vision; She walked in the dark woods, but the ancient trees were as dark as the night; The wind and showers in the mountains seemed to be all prompted by the gods, but the mountain ghost girl just didn't show up......
People worship the mountain spirit just to seek her blessing. Now that I can't see the gods, there is no one who can make me (the world represented by the shaman) immortal.
In order to soothe the sense of loss that her years no longer exist, she went to the mountains to eat Ganoderma lucidum ("Sanxiu") in order to prolong her life.
Although these descriptions are written about the thoughts of the shaman when he is looking for the gods, they express the common wishes and sorrows of the world.
The poet is also particularly good at showing the psychology of the sorcerer to welcome the gods:
"The resentful son is sad and forgets to return", which clearly has a grievance against the gods;
"Jun Si, I can't be idle", but in a blink of an eye, his grievances disappeared, and he went to defend the mountain ghost girl's non-coming.
"The people in the mountains are full of people", literally similar to the beginning of "Zi Mu Yu Xi is good and slender", it seems that he is still boasting and praising himself, but when it is placed here, it faintly reveals the self-pity and self-pity of not meeting the gods.
"Jun Si I am suspicious", the one who misses and doubts the mountain ghost is obviously the witch himself; But when he opened his mouth to speak, he deduced that it was a god.
The psychology shown in these verses is complex and subtle. At the end of the poem, the absence of the gods is a foregone conclusion, and there is a mournful and wailing voice in the poem.
The three sentences of "the rain is filled and the rain is dark" intertwine the thundering ape cry, the sound of the wind and the rain, showing an extremely bleak night scene of the mountains and forests.
The more he rendered the sound of the night of thunder and the cry of apes, the more he saw the depth and silence of the mountain forest where the mountain ghosts were located.
It is in this boundless silence of the bitter wind and rain that the poet's pen is a sudden burst of mournful words: "Si Gongzi is away from worry!" This is the painful cry from the heart of the Welcoming Witch - she had been so joyful at the beginning of the year, holding the flower branches, riding the red leopard, along the winding mountain kuma;
At this point, with a lot of grievances and sorrows, he left in the wind and rain, and finally disappeared in a thunder and ape cry.
Most of the ancients "regarded mourning as beauty", and it is expected that the gods must also like mournful mourning. The more sorrow and compassion of life are expressed in the sacrifice, the more it can attract the mercy and care of the gods.
Lan listened lightly, but nodded with great satisfaction.
"Well, you're pretty analytical."
The woman smiled and stepped closer.
"Ma'am, do you want to know more......
Seeing her like this, Lan Qingyan thought she was playing tricks, but she was not interested in it. "Mrs. Ben will naturally give you the corresponding reward, and if you and them are tired, go back."
Lan said lightly, then closed his eyes again and rested.
The woman looked at the scenes behind her a little mysteriously, and whispered, "Lord of the door, I have something to say......"
Lan Qingyan listened, quickly opened his eyes in shock, and motioned to Qingluo to send those actors out of the Shutong Palace.
After everyone went out, Lan Qingyan sat up straight.
"What did you just say?"
The woman knelt down and said, "My lord, I'm in white!" ”
Lan Qingyan frowned slightly. "You look up."
Bai Yi slowly raised his head.
Lan Qingyan couldn't help but gasp. "Bai Yi, how did you get into the palace?!"
Bai Yi was very entangled, and looked at Lan Qingyan with teary eyes. "Master of the Gate, let the white clothes follow you!"
Lan glanced at her with slanted eyes.
"Okay, Mrs. Ben promises you, you get up first!"
Bai Yi wiped his tears and stood up. "Bai Yi knows that you hate Ni Wuyin, so Bai Yi is here to help you."
