In this article, we read Ouyang Xiu's noun "Sheng Cha Zi Yuan Xi", the whole word is as follows:
On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day. The moon is on the willow tip, and the person is about after dusk. On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still there. Not seeing last year's people, tears wet spring shirt sleeves.
Ouyang Xiu's "Sheng Cha Zi" is very famous, because not only is every sentence famous, but it has even been adapted into more than one version of the popular song, and the author of this word is also quite controversial, which makes this word more famous.
(Not seen last year's people, tears wet spring shirt sleeves)
Let's start with this controversy:
The "Zi Pin" (Yang Shenzuo of the Ming Dynasty) and the "Zi Zong" (Zhu Yizun of the Qing Dynasty) both attribute this poem to the name of the female lyricist Zhu Shuzhen, and even Yang Shen believes that Zhu Shuzhen is not a good family woman at all because of this poem; the "Continuation of Xuancao Tang Shiyu" also attributed it to the name of Qin Guan. It seems that good words will always attract everyone's attention, fortunately, some experts have made a study in this regard, and Zhou Yi of the Qing Dynasty has a clear account in the "Words and Sayings of Hui Feng": "Ouyang Yongshu's "Sheng Cha Zi Yuan Xi" words mistakenly entered the "Zhu ShuZhen Collection"", and the "Outline of the General Catalogue of the Four Libraries" Volume 199 Episode Fifty-two has a detailed note that this word was composed by Ouyang Xiu.
What's more, the Lefu Yazi compiled by Zeng Yu (pronounced zào, loyal in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty) has already classified this word under the name of Ouyang Xiu, and Zeng Xi's era is not far away, so it should be believed.
Now we generally think that this is the work of Jing You's third year (1036) when the poet remembered his second wife, Lady Yang (Ouyang Xiu married three times in his lifetime, about the third wife and was kind).
(People about after dusk)
The song is concise, with only four sentences, but the beauty is that each sentence is a famous quote.
On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day. Ouyang Xiu is really a text everyone, with words frugal, ten words, time, place, scene written clearly and clearly. During the Lantern Festival last year, the flower market was full of flowers, and the flower lanterns illuminated the night like day.
(The Lantern Festival of the Tang Dynasty in film and television dramas)
In China, since the Tang Dynasty, there has been the custom of lantern viewing lanterns on the Lantern Festival, and in the Song Dynasty, the Lantern Festival has become the best festival for men and women to date, because Song Dynasty women only have three days a year (Shangyuan Festival, Shangwei Festival, Qingming Festival) have the opportunity to go out to play, and on this day, you can go to the street at night, Ha, this is simply a festival for "dating", young men and women in love can be on such a night or in the dense place of tourists eyebrows, or secretly meet at the lights.
The moon is on the willow tip, and the person is about after dusk. At dusk, the sun is dark and the moon is getting darker, which is the best time to meet. "The head of the willow on the moon", said the time point, roughly said the location, the time is good, it is dusk, but the location does not seem to be in the downtown, but the willow branches can be seen outside the city; and "people about after dusk", it seems that the two have an agreement earlier, which shows that the hero and heroine have not been a problem with each other before, borrowing this dusk, just for the two people to meet closely and intimately, the so-called "moon out of the bright, the best people".
(Willow tip on the moon)
Anyway, they had a great night. But as mentioned earlier, there are not many such opportunities, only once a year, so there is endless tenderness and sweetness, but it is precisely because of this that the time of the year is particularly precious.
What the next film says is all sadness about not seeing each other.
(Feng Zikai's painting "The Head of the Willow on the Moon")
On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still there. No, it's new year again, it's the second year, it's still New Year's Eve, or the flower lanterns, or the moonlight, or this hour, or such a scenery, this should be another good date. These two sentences are juxtaposed with the meaning of the first half of the que text, but in the juxtaposition, they do not mean to stand out -
(The moon and the lights are still the same)
Not seeing last year's people, tears wet spring shirt sleeves. Last year's people are gone! Is it a promise, or can't come again? This is the same sorrow of the ages when "people don't know where to go", and when this scene is not made of sorrow, how can people not be sad to come from it and burst into tears. By the time of the Shangyuan Festival, it is early spring, and the tears are wet, but it is not a spring shirt.
This song, through the memories of the past of last year and today, compares and sighs that this year's things are human, both the beautiful and warm and sweet memories of the past, and the sorrow and sadness that today's beautiful people do not see. The whole word is wonderful in the sentence popular, ingeniously conceived, the upper que wrote last year, the lower que wrote today, overlapping correspondence, looping back and forth, there is the folk song flavor of the "Book of Poetry", the words are bright, natural, simple, and although the words are plain, they are deep in affection, the rhyme is timeless, and the expression is a long feeling.
This is the real "short word and long love", and perhaps for this reason, this word is more suitable for recitation, so it is widely circulated.
