Chanting | Zhang Xian: The fingers of the thirteen strings, the fine will be the hatred of the pass
【Original Word】
Bodhisattva man
Zhang Xian
Mourning Kite's "Xiangjiang Song", the sound is written all about Xiangbo Green. Thirteen strings of fingers, fine will pass on the hatred.
When the autumn water is slow, the jade pillar obliquely flies geese. When the bullet hits the broken intestine, ChunShan's eyebrows are low.
【Translation】
She played such a poignant song, a melancholy sound, like the turquoise waves of Xiangshui. Her delicate jade fingers, across thirteen strings, delicately conveyed the thick resentment in her heart.
Facing the guests in the banquet, her clear eyes slowly flowed, and the kite pillar was lined up obliquely, like the ranks of the sloping geese. When the tune sounded to the most sad moment, her two eyebrows like a spring mountain slowly fell down.
【Notes】
Bodhisattva Man: The title of a Tang Dynasty song. Xiangjiang Qu: The title of the song, that is, "Xiangjiang Grievance". According to legend, Emperor Shun toured Cangwu in the south, and the second concubine chased him to the south, smelled Shun's pawn, and threw himself into the river and died. Later generations wrote music based on this theme. Slow: Describes eye gaze.
Thirteen Strings: Han Shiyou's "Urgent Chapter" of the Three Yan Shi Gu Notes: "Zheng, also Xiao Se class also, this twelve strings, now thirteen." ”
Autumn water: Autumn water, metaphorically the clear and bright eyes of a person (mostly referring to a woman). It is also a metaphor for eye waves.
Jade pillar oblique flying goose: the kite pillar bamboo, narrow on the top and wide hollow, like a flying goose, thirteen kite columns arranged, just like a group of diagonal flying geese.
【Appreciation 1】
It is a song of beauty and skill. The word that highlights the kite-player between the lines seems to have infinite heartache and pain in expressing and pouring out through music. He also praised the superb skills of this musician. It can be seen that the listener is the "confidant" of the player. Xia Yan is a close-up of the woman who plays the kite, highlighting the eyes and eyebrows. The eye waves are also as moving as autumn water. Subtly expresses the psychological changes of the woman who plays the kite. The whole word is fresh and graceful, and the affection is sincere and subtle.
【Appreciation 2】
This is a song written by a woman who plays the kite, or has some sustenance, or simply writes about the people who see in the eyes, and the songs that are heard in the ears, and there is no need to investigate deeply.
The opening paragraph begins with the style of the music. First of all, the kite is used, and the kite has always been desolate and gentle, suitable for expressing the emotions of mourning and sorrow, and the singer plays a sad tune similar to the story of the Xiangjiang River. The music was supposed to be listened to by ear and could not be seen, but the lyricist suddenly turned from hearing to vision, saying that "the sound is written in the xiangbo green". This rhetorical technique is called "synaesthesia", also known as "shifting sense", that is, the sense of communication between the sensations felt by different senses such as hearing, vision, touch, and smell. Because the most convenient description of text is visual, and it is relatively difficult to describe the sense of hearing, it is relatively difficult to describe the sense of hearing with vision- the xiangliu of chengbi. From the perspective of traditional culture, it is indeed easy to make people feel sad, so they use synaesthesia to compare the kite.
The last two sentences of the Shang yan point out the meaning expressed by synaesthesia, and point out the identity of the kite player- a woman, playing a song of "hatred" with a kite.
The opening chapter is also visual, with a focus shifting from koto to a person playing a koto. During the banquet, the kite was played quietly, and the "autumn water", that is, the clear gaze, slowly flowed, indicating that the woman who played the kite completely integrated her whole body and mind into the kite. And what the admirer sees in the eyes of both the clear gaze and the oblique line of the kite, also merges the kite and the person, as if the music does not pop out of the kite, but gushes out from the heart of the woman who plays the kite. Because of this, at the moment when the kite was played to the most poignant and severed intestines, the woman slowly lowered her eyebrows, her expression and the music were integrated, and she vomited out the sorrow and resentment in her chest.
The whole word is clear and beautiful, the emotion is sincere and sad, and the style is subtle and deep, which is impressive and lamentable.
