Chapter Twenty-Five: Time Passes Like an Arrow
The hills overlap and the gold is extinguished, and the sideburns and clouds want to be fragrant and snowy. Lazy to draw moth eyebrows, late to make up and groom.
Before and after the flowers, the flowers reflect each other. Newly embroidered robes, double golden partridges. ”
In a poem, you can see a touch of a lyricist's feelings. This poem "Bodhisattva Man" is Wen Tingyun's representative work, and a contrasting writing technique is intriguing. A good sentence "I'm too lazy to draw moth eyebrows, and I'm late to make up and groom." "Write that one slowly, meaning that it is just right.
You say that this Wen Tingyun is not a lonely and endlessly lonely person? Extremely talented and quick in thinking, he has repeatedly failed to rank in the ranks, has been degraded for a long time, and has no ambition for life. Ay! Another melancholy son.
Let me tell you, Du Juan, in the current vernacular, has depression, and there is no medicine to take, so he can only make some tea at home when he is fine. It is no wonder that from ancient times to the present, the more talented people are, the more lonely they are, and the more they like to experience loneliness. If Wen Tingyun didn't suffer from depression, how could he write such intriguing words, and which dignitary have you ever seen who could write such words? I think they have a big belly, their brains are full of fat and they can't turn their brain cells, and they won't waste half of their brain cells.
Of course, there are always a few star-like characters shining in the night sky of history, if you say "melancholy prince", then it must be Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Why did I give him such a nickname, and I don't know if anyone else has called Li Yu that.
Cuckoo: You say, if he were to live in this era and create a poetry film with his writing, it would definitely be an Oscar for him.
Alas, I said Du Juan, we still don't talk about Li Yu, as soon as I think of him, the sentence "Ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward." "My God, what a sorrow this must be, like a surging river flowing east day and night, there is no end, think about it, I am also depressed.
Speaking of which, I would like to tell you a little thing, my family used to have an old neighbor, a respected old man, who liked poetry very much, especially the poems of the "melancholy prince".
One time his house was newly renovated, and I went to visit it. Well, as soon as I entered the door, there was a big living room hanging a word, I heard that it was the work of a famous artist, the word was written very strong and very elegant, I didn't have to say, it was written that I said this famous poem.
I was thinking, this doesn't seem right. But watching their family's housewarming to the New Year, they are so jubilant, how dare I beg for leisure?
Calligraphy and painting naturally have feng shui, and the knowledge in this is not something I can say clearly in a few words, and I will talk about it in the future. Okay, let's not talk about Li Yu, how can we get the whole thing from Wen Tingyun's piece to Li Yu, and pull out the feng shui of calligraphy and painting from Li Yu's piece, if you don't stop, you have to get Zhao Ji out for a while, I said, am I off topic? Cuckoo?
Monday is scarce, at this time, there is nothing to do, and the cuckoo doesn't know which oblique crazy he smoked, early in the morning, let me tell her Wen Tingyun's poem. I don't know what I did with her, anyway, she changed her "virtue" today and listened obediently.
Did she digress? She said she hadn't heard enough, and I asked her, why are you asking this word? She said she never got tired of listening to the song.
Since the last time she led her son-in-law, who had been in a rented house with her for several years, back to her parents' house, she was like a frosted eggplant, all of a sudden!
I've heard from Cuckoo that I've learned from me, and I'm not at a good time to express my opinion. How to say it, anyway, there is a handful of houses in the countryside, a few acres of land, this one does not have an old lady with him, but there is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old son who has been planting crops for decades.
Du Juan said that when he saw his son for the first time, he was so shocked that Du Juan was sweating.
Rural people get married early, Du Juan is five years younger than him, the age is still a good match, that year Du Juan's daughter has not yet gone to kindergarten, and his eldest son is about to get married. At least two heads taller than the cuckoo, and when he entered the door, he shouted: "Mom". While wiping the sweat from his head, the cuckoo said, "Just call Auntie, just call Auntie." "Heh~ When the cuckoo learned from me, she added her own expressions and movements, which made me laugh, he~
It's because the man doesn't have a house in the city, and he still has an eldest son who works part-time to make a living. Because people are diligent and willing to work hard, they can speak and be popular, they have a lot of work, and their lives are okay.
Although the cuckoos have a house, they have never gone back to live there, and they have been living in a rented house. The relationship between the two is not bad, I haven't heard Du Juan say anything about the quarrel between the two. Anyway, it is precisely because of these that Du Juan has never dared to go to her mother's house to get it, but she has heard that her husband is going to visit her mother-in-law all day long, and Du Juan has been stopping.
Who knows how to move the cuckoo this time? However, it seems that there is no such thing, but this is the end of it.
Ay! Life, every day every family is staging a comedy that I don't know if it's a comedy.
Winters are cold and long, making people who are afraid of the cold feel that they are living day after day.
In the evening, the shadows of snowflakes fell, and the sky and earth were white.
The snowflakes dance lightly and fall with the wind like elves. I think it won't be long before the plum will bloom in the cold, what a strong character! And the more it is on a snowy night like this, if it makes me think about it. Staring at the heavy snow, as if in an instant, get up and put on a cloak, pick up a lantern and step on the snow to find plums, what kind of scene will it be! On the one hand, I am drunk with the whiteness of snowflakes, and on the other hand, I am drunk with the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the realm of life is just like this!
At this moment, lying in bed tossing and turning, I remembered that during the day, my eyes swept over the monthly calendar hanging on the wall of the company, and only a piece of paper was left hanging there alone.
A wisp of wind drifted over, and it swayed slightly with the wind, like a fairy's clothes, as thin as cicada wings. There is only a little more than a week left in this year, and it is really "ashamed" to say that it has passed in such a muddy way. There's nothing to be proud of, and I don't feel like I'm making any progress.
However, a small salary every month is barely enough for living expenses, and you don't think that you can save a sum of money at the end of the year, and you can buy a house or something in ten years. To put it bluntly, even the child's make-up fee can be saved. Alas! You know that educating children is a big deal for parents.
Personally, I particularly appreciate that couples abroad have the right to have a child only after obtaining a certificate from a professional organization.
If I could go back and never go back, I would never try to have a child until I got this certificate. Of course, this can't be simply thought that I don't love my children, it is precisely because of being a mother that I feel ashamed and think like this because I have not raised my children to be excellent after so many years.
Maybe you think it's completely unnecessary, having a child, going to school, raising a child, human beings are born with it, isn't this a waste of resources and a waste of time?
If you really think like that, then your understanding is too superficial. You know, it's responsible for society, it's for families, it's about the future of your children. Passed down from generation to generation, from generation to generation, it will inevitably subtly change the morality and conduct of the people of this country. Admittedly, I have to say that this is a very long thing to do, and it may be difficult to do, but I think no matter how long and difficult it is, it is worth learning and discussing.
At this moment, the snow was falling heavily outside the window. The darkness of the night was swept and swallowed up by the north wind, and in its place was a heavy snow that connected the sky and the earth, and the night was reflected as if it were day.
Year after year, starting from praying for health and a good life on Chinese New Year's Eve, until tonight watching the snow fall in the sky, counting my gains and losses in this year, I really don't want this life situation to continue endlessly.
Perhaps, you think it's better than the cuckoo's life. But I would like to say that a family has its own difficulties, and a person has a standard by which one can measure one's life.
