Recently learned a new word called "seasonal depression", the cause is a female friend the other day extra grumpy, I quipped, is not the menopausal syndrome advanced, she scorned: know "seasonal depression" no?
Me: Nani?
She: Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and "sad autumn" is one of the symptoms of "seasonal depression".
I:..... You are a seasonal juvenile offender.
Since Song Yu's "Chu Ci Nine Debates": "Sorrow! Autumn is also angry. The grass and trees fell and decayed. "Tragic autumn has become the cultural plot of ancient Chinese literati, along with "wounded spring".
In autumn, everything withers, the fallen leaves fly over, and the poets are easy to touch their feelings: the fallen leaves the branches, and it is easy to think of the pain of leaving the home and wandering, which is a sadness, kong Shao'an of the Tang Dynasty "saw the fallen leaves in early autumn, drifting like a guest's heart", yes and also. Everything withers away, the good times disappear, so there is a sigh of lamenting that the years are not spared, this is the second sorrow, Liu Yuxi "since ancient times in autumn sadness and loneliness", yes also. In summary, the above two sorrows will produce a sigh of ups and downs in life, years and years, but nothing will be achieved, so that there will be sad autumn emotions, which are three sorrows, Du Fu "thousands of miles of sad autumn often guests", yes also. If it coincides with the misfortune of the home country and the poor fate, it is even more tragic, this is the four sorrows, Qiu Jin "autumn wind and autumn rain sad people", yes also.
Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty said that "the most is the autumn wind is nosy, and the red maple leaf is the white head", two sorrows and three sorrows at the same time, mourning but not hurting, the most afterglow.
Wild Step
(Qing) Zhao Yi
Steep cold urges the change of kapok fur, relying on the suburban original close trip.
The most is the autumn wind nosy, red he maple leaf white head.
Appreciation:
Zhao Yi (1727-1814) Was a Qing Dynasty writer, historian, and poet from Yanghu, Jiangsu (present-day Changzhou, Jiangsu). Qianlong Twenty-sixth Year (1761) Temple Temptation Flower, long in historiography, well-documented. The poem is on a par with Yuan Ming and is called "Yuan Zhao", and Yuan Ming, Zhao Yi and Jiang Shiquan are also called "Qianlong Three Greats".
Zhao Yi said:
The chill of the material cliffs urges people to change into cotton clothes;
Carrying a cane, I went to the wilderness in the suburbs and played to relax.
Autumn wind, you are really not a thing,
Blowing red maple leaves also blew whitened my hair.
The change of seasons, the withering of all things, and the reddishing and withering of leaves in autumn are all natural rules, and have nothing to do with the autumn wind, Zhao Yi naturally understands this truth. However, Zhao Yi said that "the autumn wind is nosy", and the anger of all things withered in autumn was transferred to the autumn wind, and the autumn wind was personified, as if the autumn wind was the culprit of the withering of all things, from the poetic point of view, it was "unreasonable and interesting", and it was not interesting.
"Red he maple leaf white head", saying that the autumn wind blowing red maple leaves is already unreasonable, but also said that the autumn wind blows white their own heads, which is even more unreasonable, how wronged is the autumn wind? The poet uses "maple leaf red" to compare his own "white hair", the maple leaf withers away for one year, and I am old for a year, which is the same sadness.
"The most is the autumn wind nosy, red he maple leaf white head", so do anger, really sigh the years do not spare people, sad maple leaves withered, but also sad their own wind candle years, behind the tone of ridicule, but endless sadness.
