Miscellaneous: A dream in ancient and modern times is absurd
The tone is too loud and will remind people of the poems written by Huang Chao. Huang Chao was born in a family of salt merchants, good at riding and shooting, he was able to compose poems at the age of five, and when he became an adult, he participated in the imperial examination and failed repeatedly, so he wrote: "If I am the Green Emperor in his year, I will bloom with the peach blossoms." He then became the leader of the peasant uprising, and the fall of the Tang Dynasty began. In "Water Margin", Song Jiang is also a scholar, originally a small official in Yuncheng, Shandong, who committed a crime and was assigned to Jiangnan, and wrote a poem in "Xunyang Building", and there is also a sentence: "If he is Lingyunzhi in the future, he dares to laugh at Huang Chao and not his husband." "Huang Chao and Song Jiang, two readers, rebelled when they mentioned the poems, and these two sentences of Jia Yucun inevitably caused unnecessary trouble in the era when the literary prison was prevalent, so the critic said, "This poem is not the original purpose", but to highlight Jia Yucun's extraordinary literary talent and the image of a reader with great ambitions, I had to write it like this, and I had no other meaning.
The criticism said: "Start with Mid-Autumn Festival poems, collect with Mid-Autumn poems, and use the poetry club in autumn." The sigh is also three springs, but the three autumns are used as the key. In the first chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", the Mid-Autumn Festival poems were written through Jia Yucun, and in the seventy-sixth chapter, the author depicted the couplets of Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Miaoyu under the moon. A frightened white crane in the shadows made Shi Xiangyun say "Crane Shadow in the Cold Pond" with divine help. Daiyu was not to be outdone, and followed by the sentence "The cold moon buries the soul of flowers", Miaoyu stepped on the moon and completed the "Mid-Autumn Festival Night Grand View Garden Scene Couplet Thirty-five Rhymes".
In addition to the first time, there is also a description of the Mid-Autumn Festival, or because of Qin Keqing's illness and a brush, or because of the imminent disaster in Jiafu and the thick ink, the seventy-sixth time, Jiafu Mid-Autumn Festival, lively in the middle of the night, Mrs. Wang and others said: "The night is deep, the wind and dew are also big, please rest the old lady, tomorrow is good to enjoy the sixteenth moonlight." Jia Mu said: "When?" Mrs. Wang smiled: "I have paid four watches." The sisters couldn't survive it, so they all went to sleep. ”
Jia Mu heard that it was one or two o'clock in the morning, and after a closer look, they were all scattered, and only Tanchun was here. Jia Mu smiled: "That's fine." You can't get used to it, and besides, the weak are weak, and the sick are sick, and you don't have to worry about it. It's just that the three girls are pitiful, and they are still waiting. Go and go, and we'll be gone. Jia's mother's last sentence "We are scattered" is the conclusion of this Mid-Autumn Festival, the weak and the sick are sick, the girls are leaving, "After the three springs, all the flowers are exhausted, each must find their own door", Jiafu should also be dispersed.
There are too many fakes, and you can get used to thinking that the real ones are also fake. The real and the false can be converted into each other, and the fake copy imitates the real one, and may eventually surpass the real one.
There is such a sentence in Wang Xilian's "General Commentary on the Dream of Red Mansions": "Truth is false, and fake is true." There is a truth in the truth, and there is truth in the false. True is not true, false is not false. ”
Sometimes the fake is too perfect, and you like it too much, which tells you that it is fake, and you are willing to want the fake perfection, not the real flaw. Things that shouldn't exist exist where they should be, and things that should exist don't exist without a suitable environment.
What you don't have is what you have when you have it, and what you have is no longer there when it's time to lose it.
If it doesn't exist, it is said that it exists, and if the authority speaks or everyone does not oppose it, it really exists. As the saying goes, "the official is the most accurate", Zhao Gao "refers to the deer as a horse", obviously it is a deer, Zhao Gao said that it is a horse, then the deer does not exist. Another example is a pair of men and women with a normal relationship, they are good friends, and there is nothing wrong with them, but there are a lot of gossip, and the fabricated facts are even more convincing than the facts that exist, how will they get along in the future? Either they really become lovers, or they reduce contact or don't contact, and this pair of good friends doesn't exist.
"When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction." Just a dozen words write Zen, truth and dialectics. Therefore, our Chinese characters and Chinese are the most concise, efficient and vivid!
For thousands of years, our culture has never been cut off, and Chinese characters and Chinese have a degree of inheritance and stability that cannot be compared with other languages. With the accumulation, precipitation and development of Chinese culture for thousands of years, Chinese characters and Chinese have a superiority and vitality that other languages and scripts cannot match.
We all know that the United Nations has six working languages, Chinese, English, French, Russian, Arabic and Spanish, write work reports with the same content, save pen, ink and paper, and be environmentally friendly enough.
However, the lack of words does not mean that the expression is insufficient, and our Chinese characters and Chinese are the best at using concise words and sentences to express complex meanings, profound truths and fascinating cultures.
National self-confidence stems from cultural self-confidence. Chinese characters and Chinese are the most advanced, the most beautiful and the most charming arts in the world, and many foreigners come to learn them, and our descendants of Yan and Huang should have this self-confidence. For example, the author of "Dream of Red Mansions", he or they have this self-confidence.
The author of "Dream of Red Mansions" has rich experience and writes like a god, and the critics have learned a lot from him, so the more the critics say that "Dream of Red Mansions" is not a cynical criticism of reality, the more it seems to remind readers to carefully read and experience those criticisms of reality and dissatisfaction with society.
[The floating life is very hard and busy, and the grand banquet is finally over. 】
[Sorrow and joy are all the same as illusory, and a dream in ancient and modern times is absurd. 】
[The red sleeves of the abuse are scarred, and the infatuation is long. 】
[Every word seems to be blood, and ten years of hard work is unusual. 】
This poem will be more flavorful if Mr. Guo Degang comes to read it, but unfortunately we don't have that ability, so let's just listen to it! Life in the world, empty and uncertain, what is it for all day long, busy. The grand and lavish feast will eventually come to an end. Things that make people sad and happy are like illusory dreams, and there is no dream that is not absurd from ancient times to the present. Don't just say that women always cry and cry, but also that infatuated men resent for life. Every word of "Dream of Red Mansions" is condensed by blood and tears, and the author has worked too hard and not easy in the past ten years!
This poem is still very good from the overall artistic conception, the wealth and prosperity in the red dust will disappear in the end, just like no matter how big the pomp and circumstance of the banquet will end. Joys and sorrows, the evolution of reincarnation is like an illusion. Throughout the ages, in the final analysis, it was just a dream. Isn't it even more ridiculous that there are people who are so busy working for this?
However, if you strictly judge from the perspective of poetry appreciation, this poem is generally written, and the seven-character poem requires repeated consideration in the choice of words while fighting against each other. Let's look at Du Fu's masterpiece in his later years, "The wind is urgent, the sky is high, the ape is howling, and the white bird flies back." Boundless falling trees and Xiao Xiao, endless Yangtze River rolling", can be said to be a model in terms of word choice.
We read what Yan Zhai wrote, "Sorrow and joy are all the same as illusory, and a dream in ancient and modern times is absurd." She uses "a thousand kinds" to "a dream", which is not rigorous enough, giving a more rigorous example: "The prosperous world is good, and Shenzhou is new", and "a thousand things" is against "Vientiane". Another example, "a newlywed love in a thousand ways, a small farewell in ten thousand loves", "a thousand kinds" to "ten thousand kinds".
Let's read what Yan Zhai wrote, "The red sleeves are scarred by the slander, and the infatuation is even more hateful", and "red sleeves" are not rigorous enough for "infatuation". What should the "red sleeves" be more neat for? Let's look at the example in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", Zhen Shiyin's only daughter Zhen Yinglian was abducted by traffickers, and later changed her name to Xiangling, Xiangling was bought by Xue Pan, the dumb overlord, and entered Jiafu, and later studied poetry with Lin Daiyu.
At the beginning of the forty-ninth chapter, Xiangling wrote a poem, "The essence wants to cover up the difficulties, and the shadow is from Juan Juan's spirit and cold." An anvil knocks thousands of miles white, and the half-round chicken sings five more remnants. Listen to the flute in autumn on the green river, and lean on the railing at night on the red-sleeved building. Chang'e should ask herself, why don't you reunite forever! ”
Because Xiangling is a character, this poem was of course written by the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" instead of Xiangling. Among them, the artistic conception of "listening to the flute in autumn on the green river, leaning on the railing at night on the head of the red-sleeved building" is very beautiful, and the words are also exquisite, which shows that the skill of the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" is more profound than that of the critic of the book.
"Hearing the flute in autumn on the green river", the green lily is the green lily clothes, and the children will carry the "egret flying in front of the Xisai Mountain, and the peach blossom flowing water mandarin fish fat." Green hats, green clothes, slanting wind and drizzle do not have to return". "Green lily" is used to refer to a person wearing a lily robe on a rainy day, what does this person do? "Autumn flute on the river".
Lonely and lonely sitting on the boat, this person can be a fisherman or a wanderer who travels far away, in this poem refers to the wanderer who travels far away, and we will discuss it in depth when we read the forty-ninth chapter in the future, especially referring to Xue Pan, the dumb overlord.
"Autumn flute" can be understood as hearing the ethereal sound of the flute on a rainy night in autumn. What tune does the flute play, the author did not write, we need to combine the artistic conception of the poem to expand the imagination, the poet fairy Li Bai said: "Whose jade flute flies in the dark, scattered into the spring breeze full of Los Angeles." In this nocturne, who can't afford to love the old garden? "Oh, it turns out that the flute plays "folding willows".
"Book of Songs" in the "past, I go to the past, willow is still in the past", there is "folding willow songs" in the Han Yue Mansion, "willow" homonym "stay", in ancient times of our country, someone left their hometown to travel far away, relatives and friends separated, the send-off person to fold a wicker to the person who will set off, give you "willow" is to let you stay, the last years of the Sui Dynasty sang well, "the willow is green and drooping, and the poplar flowers are flying in the sky." The wicker is broken and the flowers are flying, and the pedestrians are asked if they will return". The sound of the flute is clear and long, and the "folding willows" are played, which can arouse people's longing for their hometown and relatives and friends.
Xiangling's sentence "Hearing the flute in autumn on the green river" is also expressed in a cold rainy night in autumn, the lonely wanderer of the world, drifting on a flat boat, "the wild path is dark, the river boat is unique", since ancient times, the most bitter amorous, unable to sleep, suddenly in the sound of the rain faintly heard "folding willows", the flute is far away and clear, erratic, this wanderer to his parents, to his hometown, to the heart of her she misses even more, and can not sleep.
I think that the autumn flute on the Green Ridge River is more flavorful than Zhang Ruoxu's "Whose house is flat boat tonight, where is the Acacia Mingyue Tower"! "Who's Flat Boat Tonight" only has a flat boat, a wanderer and a missing, "Hearing the Flute in Autumn on the Green River" adds a drizzle and flute, and the lonely image of the wandering wanderer is more fully set off, and the kind of longing for the wandering world is more fully rendered, and the artistic conception is more beautiful.
The next sentence of "Hearing the flute in autumn on the Green Ridge River" is "Red Sleeves Loutou Leaning on the Fence at Night", students pay attention, it is to use "red sleeves" to "Green Leaves", red, green, and color is very rigorous about color, so I said that "the red sleeves are scarred and the infatuation is heavy, and the infatuation is long", and the "red sleeves" are not rigorous enough for the "infatuation". In addition, "red sleeves" and "green lily" are both used to refer to the characters with clothes, and Yan Zhai wants to use "red sleeves" to refer to the infatuated woman, and "infatuation" is used to refer to the infatuated man, but the parts of speech of "red sleeves" and "infatuation" are not so harmonious.
Some picky friends may say that the person who wears the green coat is not necessarily a man, and a woman can't wear it? Infatuated people are not necessarily men, women are sometimes more infatuated! Why do you say that "red sleeves" refer to women, and "green lily" and "infatuation" refer to men?
Because ancient women's dresses were all long-sleeved, "red sleeves" later became synonymous with women. Du Mu's poem in the Tang Dynasty: "Picking lotus red sleeves wet, peeking at the frequency of green moths", in which "red sleeves" and "green moths" can refer to beautiful women. There is a sentence in Xin Qiji's "Qingping Le-This Body is Long and Healthy": "I expected to be drunk tonight, and the two lines of red sleeves competed for help." Xin Qiji expected that if he got drunk tonight, there would be a queue of beautiful women vying to support him. Guan Hanqing of the Yuan Dynasty also wrote, "The feast in Hua Province does not end in waiting, and is busy with red sleeves in a hurry." "Before the luxurious banquet was served, someone left in a hurry with the beloved beauty and went on a solo date. Before "Dream of Red Mansions" was written, there were many such poems, and I will not give examples of them one by one.
The development of Chinese culture is continuous, and it is customary for "red sleeves" to refer to women, and in the Qing Dynasty, the women referred to by "red sleeves" have more profound meanings, and they are women with full artistic images and living an artistic life.
Yuan Mei celebrated his 79th birthday, and the female disciple Xi Peilan congratulated the teacher on his birthday, and wrote a sentence "Green clothes hold inkstones to urge the question paper, and red sleeves add fragrance to accompany reading", everyone should pay attention to the fact that "green clothes" are used in this sentence to "red sleeves", which is also color to color, which is very rigorous. In ancient times, scholars wore green clothes, so green clothes became synonymous with boys.
Yuan Mei is the Jinshi of Qianlong for four years, and is also the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, and now he lives at home, many literati, wealthy businessmen, and celebrities come to visit, earning to ask Yuan Mei to inscribe on the plaque, compose poems on the paintings, and write prefaces in front of the book. The green-clothed scholar held an inkstone in his hand and urged his turn to write for whom, and he was busy for a while, and when everyone dispersed, Yuan Mei read quietly, and the red-sleeved beauty added spices to the smoker and accompanied him. This line of Xi Peilan's poem evolved into "Red Sleeves Fragrance Night Reading", which is regarded as the most elegant thing for readers.
Xi Peilan wrote a sentence "Green clothes hold inkstones to urge the question paper, red sleeves add fragrance to accompany reading", which evolved into "red sleeves add fragrance to night reading", which is regarded as the most elegant thing for readers. The ancients with high living standards often smoked incense in the house, which can expel mosquitoes, flies and turbidity, so as to achieve the effect of removing moisture and dampness, refreshing the mind and strengthening the body. "Red sleeves add fragrance" is a great beauty to do an extremely elegant thing, beautiful and beautiful, beautiful!
