"Once out of the Yang Pass for three thousand miles, Xiao Lang has been a passerby since then."
In "Xiao Eleven Lang", Gu Long created a very attractive male image, which is Xiao Eleven Lang.
He was a lovely enemy, a loyal friend, a sweet lover, dashing and unrestrained.
Such a person, who was as strong as wine and as beautiful as a flower, also remembered him, and Shen Bijun, the first beautiful woman in wulin and noble and gentle, also fell into the love network for him.
He perfectly interpreted the word "Xiao Lang", the image of the ideal lover represented in ancient poetry.
The poem "From now on Xiao Lang is a passerby" comes from the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Jiao's "Gift to the Concubine":
The princes and grandchildren followed in the footsteps of the queen, and the green beads were dripping with tears.
As soon as Houmen entered the sea, Xiao Lang was a passerby.
The author of this poem, Cui Jiao, is lonely and nameless, and there is only one surviving poem, which is included in the Quan Tang Poems.
But he insisted on relying on this poem to occupy a place in the brilliant poetry of the Tang Dynasty.
"As soon as Houmen entered the sea, Xiao Lang was a passerby", this short two-sentence poem not only derived two idioms for future generations - "Houmen is like the sea" and "Xiao Lang Strange Road", but also became one of the golden sentences of contemporary men and women breaking up.
Let's take a closer look at the poem:
The title of the poem, "Giving Away the Maid", goes, which means to leave; the maid, referring to the maid.
That is to say, this is a poem given by Cui Jiao to a departing maid.
So, who is this maid? Why did Cui Jiao write poems to give to her?
The story recorded in the notes "Yunxi Friendship Discussion" written by Fan Xi at the end of the Tang Dynasty may answer our questions:
During the Tang Yuanhe period, Xiucai Cuijiao's aunt had a maid.
The maid girl had a beautiful appearance and admired each other with Cui Jiao.
But somehow, the two were not able to be together.
Later, the maid was sold to the then prominent nobleman Yu Jing (dí), but Cui Jiao still remembered the woman.
Once, when it was the Cold Food Festival, the maid went out and met Cui Jiao unexpectedly.
The two have been separated for a long time and reunited, and their hearts are full of mixed feelings.
How joyful it is to see each other, and how sad it is to leave when they are parted.
But forced by the power of The Maid, the maid had to return.
When they were about to separate, Cui Jiao wrote this poem Gift to the.
"The princes and grandchildren followed in the footsteps of each other, and the green beads fell from the tears."
This means:
Princes and grandchildren covet your beauty and chase after you all day long, while you often weep silently like green beads.
Green Pearl was the favorite concubine of the rich man Shi Chong during the Western Jin Dynasty, good at flute and good at dancing, charming and moving.
Later, Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, monopolized power, and Shi Chong, because his patron Jia Mi was reprimanded, lost his power.
Sun Xiu, who was attached to King Zhao, was in love with the green pearl, so he asked Shi Chong, who expected to be rejected.
Shi Chong was killed as a result, and The Green Pearl also fell to his death.
Here, Cui Jiao uses the tragic fate of Lu Zhu to express his dissatisfaction with Wang Sun Gongzi and his deep sympathy for the robbed woman.
"As soon as Houmen entered the sea, Xiao Lang was a passerby."
Houmen refers to the house of the powerful; Xiao Lang, in ancient poetry, refers to the man whom a woman loves.
In these two poems, the poet seems to be complaining about the woman on the surface, and as soon as he enters the house of the powerful and powerful, he regards himself as a stranger, and his former lover has also become a stranger.
In reality, however, the poet's spearhead is aimed at the magnates who have separated a pair of lovers.
In the pretentious satire, what is really conveyed is the poet Cui Jiao's mournful and sad mood and deep despair.
He and the maid were originally a couple of lovers, but they could not be together because of the disparity in the door.
How many idiot men and women in feudal society who are as loved as they are, should be?
In the past, "Xiao Lang" and now "passers-by" seem to be plain and restrained, but they contain the deepest and deepest despair and sorrow.
The contemporary poet Sibe once wrote a poem called "Passerby", in which several sentences read:
I want to drink some wine, let the soul be weightless, so that it can be blown away by the wind.
But the thought will eventually be your passerby,
I felt that I had become a passer-by of the whole world.
Although the wind is strong, it all bypasses my soul.
The opposite of love is not hate, not resentment, but forgetting, strangeness, as if they had never met, passers-by who were each other.
The reason why Cui Jiao's poem can be passed down through the ages is that the great emotional capacity contained in these 28 words is enough to infect everyone who has a relationship.
Cui Jiao was lucky after all, and the poem he wrote was finally read by Yu Wei.
The affection in the poem also moved Yu Wei.
In the end, Yu Wei not only let Cui Jiao and the maid become dependents, but also gave Cui Jiao Wanguan family wealth, so that the couple could live in peace.
A happy reunion ending, too good to be true.
And Cui Jiao, this lonely and nameless poet, with this poem, not only embraced the beauty of the return, but also left a name in the history of Youth, which has been passed down as a beautiful talk today.
Through Cui Jiao's story, Lao Wei also wants to use this text written by Wang Shifu in the "Record of the West Chamber" to sincerely wish everyone:
There is no separation from the old, and all eternity is always gathered, and may all the sentient beings in the world become dependents.
