The plum blossom in Lu Tong's "Some Thoughts" is written about love or friendship or another sustenance?
"At that time, I was drunk in the beauty house, and the beauty was as delicate as a flower.
Today's beauty abandoned me, the end of the qinglou pearl foil heaven.
In the dream, he was drunk in the clouds of Wushan Mountain, and felt teardrops dripping from the Xiangjiang River.
Beauty is beautiful, I don't know for the twilight rain for the clouds.
Acacia plum blossom hair overnight, suddenly in front of the window suspected jun. An excerpt from Lu Tong's "Some Thoughts"
The beautiful sentences of plum blossoms and acacia cannot be avoided by Lu Tong, a poet of the Middle Tang Dynasty.
Before Lu Tong, there were famous poems of plum blossom acacia in the Southern and Northern Dynasties era
"Fold the flowers and send them to the Longtou people."
Gangnam has nothing, talk about giving a branch of spring. "Lu Kai (Southern and Northern Dynasties) gave Fan Ye poetry.
It expresses a friendship between friends and confidants that transcend money and worldliness. In the plum blossom forest in Jiangnan, I met an emissary who was going to the north.
I entrusted the plum blossoms here to the cold and bitter north without plum blossoms.
My place in Jiangnan, there is no specialty, will plum blossom express delivery, bring you Jiangnan spring, my thoughts. My thoughts are as fragrant as plum blossoms. This refers to friendship between men.
Moreover, jiangnan plum blossoms also have allusions before this poem, and the Han Dynasty "Saying Garden" records a story between the pre-Qin princely states, saying that when the envoys of the Yue kingdom zhufa visited the liang state monarch, they only sent a plum blossom and dressed very simply. King Liang's minister Han Zi was very annoyed, how could he hold a plum blossom and dress up like this to see the king of my family?
But the king of Liang gave Zhu fa an opportunity to talk about reasons, and Zhu Fa said that we are a small country, fighting wars year after year, and the economy is poor, and the people here go up to the mountains to hunt and go to the sea to fish, there is no good clothes to wear, we can't afford to wear a set of gorgeous ceremonial clothes, and I am here today to send the best and most precious plum blossoms here. King Liang was eventually moved and established diplomatic relations on an equal footing.
So why were plum blossoms precious at the time? Because South Vietnam is the hometown of plum blossoms, it is rich in excellent plums, which were once supplied to the royal princes of the Zhou Dynasty. Although there are also plum blossoms in the north, the high-quality plum varieties still come from South Vietnam. The South Vietnamese gave the rare plum blossom tree as a national gift to the King of Liang, which was already their most sincere etiquette.
Plum blossom sending people also means that they have the best and most sincere intentions, and what looks ordinary in your eyes has actually done all I can.
Since then, the plum blossom has represented the purest and noblest friendship.
Therefore, Lu Kai's "Gift fan ye poem" of the Southern and Northern Dynasties is quite playful and delicate. A plum blossom has represented the whole of acacia.
"Suddenly saw the cold plum tree, blossoming Han waterfront."
I don't know if the spring is early, and I suspect that it is a pearl maker. "Jiang Binmei" early Tang Wang Shi
In the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Shi, with the brushwork of refining immortal qi, described a tree of cold plums that opened up on the side of the Han River.
On the shore of the cold and vast smoke, a plum blossom is covered with white flowers, and the fragrance blooms in the morning fog by the river. The dense buds were like pearls on a fairy's body.
He described the plum blossom as a fairy who thought that the water's edge carried pearls, and his heart was full of trance and confusion, afraid that in the blink of an eye, the beautiful plum blossom of the tree would disappear like a fairy.
In the end, the morning fog here is swirling, and the faint brilliance makes people suffer from gains and losses.
Indeed, the plum blossoms are cold and fragrant, like the heavenly fragrance, the plum blossoms first flower and then the leaves, and the plum blossoms that bloom by the ice and snow river are only comparable to the fairies in the sky. It's full of a mythical longing.
This is an earlier poem that compares plum blossoms to fairy beauties, and naturally has the author's deep feelings.
Simu across the distance has always been the ultimate in love and feelings, the so-called beauty, beauty is beautiful, cold days and winter moons, on the water side.
For plum blossoms, few people write about her in a light and thin posture, because she is too high-purity, and even the words of a lover like acacia do not dare to be added to plum blossoms at will, because plum blossoms are cold, and the emotions of men and women are warm and romantic, even with worldliness.
However, Lu Tong of the Tang Dynasty actually broke through this established framework and feeling.
So it's called odd.
For example, in this poem, plum blossoms are not written at the beginning, but only about the suffering and loss of a love.
Today's beauty abandoned me, the end of the qinglou pearl foil heaven. ”
When I was in Luoyang at that time, I used to lie drunk in the home of the beauty, and the color of the beauty was delicate. Now that I have left Luoyang, is it the beauty that abandons him or does he leave the beauty? In short, the beauty of the beautiful green building bead curtain was already far away from him. He himself is in the end of the world.
"JuanJuan is a month, three or five surpluses and lacks."
The green eyebrow cicada sideburns are separated, and the heart is broken when they see it. ”
Every cold night, when I look at the moon, I think of the beauty, think of her emerald eyebrows, think of her beautiful sideburns, because when I see it, my heart is very painful.
"The heart is broken, thousands of miles.
The flowers and trees on both sides of the Xiang River are deep, and the beauties do not see the sorrows of the people. ”
I was thousands of miles away, drunk at night, still like being with you, waking up, but I was alone on the water of the Xiang River in the south, and the water of the Xiang River represented my lovesickness, flowing day and night, even if there were better flowers and trees in the south.
"With sorrow, I play the green piano, and tune the strings to never know the sound."
Beauty is beautiful, I don't know for the twilight rain for the clouds. ”
I played the guqin with pity, there was no acquaintance, beauty, beauty, I don't know where you are now, like a fairy, with whom.
Reading this, I roughly understand that this is a sad erotic love story, Lu Tong fell in love with Luoyang Ruhua Beauty, but because he could not have it, or he was displaced, and his lover in his heart was at the end of the world, and even with a little jealousy and pain of sorrow, suffering from loss and loss, tossing and turning.
If the poem is only written here, it is nothing more than a love lament of a sloppy soldier. But the last verse saves the whole poem.
"Acacia plum blossom hair overnight, suddenly in front of the window suspected jun."
I thought about it all night, I didn't know that the plum blossoms in front of the window had bloomed, and suddenly I pushed open the window and saw the plum blossoms blooming in the ice and snow, and you stood in front of me in a trance.
And use a king word to completely improve the other party. The other is a beauty, but at the same time a respectable gentleman.
Then go back and look at this poem again, in fact, everywhere lays the groundwork, saying that beauty is like a flower, but it is the Qinglou bead foil that lives in the Tang Dynasty, and the Qinglou is not the residence and pronoun of the song and dance women in the Tang Dynasty, referring to the good woman. Then the beauty of the Qinglou bead foil is the beauty of the green branches and white flowers of the plum blossoms. The plum blossoms of the Tang Dynasty have not yet been cultivated into pink-red ornamental plums like the Song Dynasty, just like the plum blossoms in Wang Shi's poems, the plum blossoms are mainly pink and white, and when the buds bloom, they are like pearls like jade.
And for the depiction of beauty, there is no excessive brilliance, green eyebrows and cicada sideburns, and his piano is green qi, on the one hand, it is a guqin, on the other hand, Sima Xiangru of the Han Dynasty is playing a green qi, and he has won the love of the talented woman Zhuo Wenjun.
In fact, the object of his admiration has been pointed out here, which is a plum blossom, or a noble confidant woman like a plum blossom.
I miss you to the extreme, the plum blossoms that open by the window make me instantly think that you are coming, you are around.
If this is a love poem, the brilliant and clear of the last sentence makes people have the kind of admiration for the goddess in love, and elevates the style of love.
At the same time, he replaced the beauty with a king, and let people have the pure joy and persistence of the gentleman's thoughts.
Since then, the plum blossom represents acacia and has become an allusion, which is commonly used for noble and hot friendship.
So is this bizarre poem about love or friendship or something else?
This is also where the uncertainty lies. Tang Dynasty and Lu Tong befriended Han Yu, saying that Lu Tong was very poor in Luoyang, living in a shabby place, with only a few broken houses, a slave with a long beard, no head wrapped, a woman barefoot, old and toothless, and the family only relied on neighboring monks to send rice to survive.
First, if it was love, he could not live in the beauty's house, or his imagination, or he wrote that the plum blossoms bloomed in the winter in Luoyang, should be planted near his home, and he could always be drunk. Because of this poem, if you open the word beauty, it is written as a plum blossom, and it is a river plum with green branches and white flowers.
Second, if it is friendship, it is a male friend who has made good friends with Lu Tong. Beauty is also often used as a metaphor for a noble and beautiful man, such as Du Mu to describe a beautiful man, but also use plum blossoms, that is, water like a ring moon like a placket. But only the last sentence is the most beautiful. I miss you and take the plum blossom in front of the window as your coming.
Third, there is also a saying that any text is the author's autobiography. It is written that he himself was once treated favorably by a certain high-ranking person, and later for various reasons, he did not continue to treat him kindly, causing him to fall into depression. But in my heart, I still have the illusion of pity. Because plum blossoms are often compared to the east king's care, a night plum blossoms are full of windows, and the metaphor is known to be cared for.
But no matter what kind of interpretation, this poem will not be allowed to destroy its own strangeness and beauty.
"Acacia plum blossom hair overnight, suddenly in front of the window suspected jun." Very much Li Bai's fairy spirit and happiness.
Of course, Li Bai wrote that the peony was famous, and the crown of this plum blossom holy hand fell on Lu Tong's head, writing about the lovesickness and joy carried by the plum blossom.
Lu Tong's poems are peculiar, and his life is really peculiar, he did not become an official in his lifetime, and for a long time as an aide or mountain guest, he became a guest of honor of the nobility. However, during the Rebellion of the Ganlu Temple in the Middle Tang Dynasty, he was involved as a friend of the Chancellor and died in this incident.
A tree of blooming mountain plums fell as a result. Or Mei opens for the confidant, and the soldier dies for the confidant, which is already doomed in fate.
