Dan dàn, the sun that had just jumped out of the horizon, started the day.

One Chinese character a day - Dan

Today we come to know the word "Dan dàn".

【Glyph evolution】

Dan, oracle bone, the upper quadrilateral refers to the celestial space, and the lower quadrilateral refers to the earth. The ancients in the era of character creation believed that heaven and earth were two boundless planes. Some oracle bones use "day" instead of heaven, reinforcing the meaning of sunrise and the division of heaven and earth. The gold text writes the square representing the earth as a solid black dot; the seal text rewrites the solid black dot as a horizontal ━, representing the horizon or sea level.

【The Story of the Word】

One Chinese character a day - Dan

White-headed groan

Tang Zhuo Wenjun

It is as snowy as the mountains, as bright as the moon between the clouds.

Wen Jun had two intentions, so he decided to break up.

Today's drinking party, Mingdangou water head.

On the ditch, the ditch water flows east and west.

Miserable and miserable, there is no need to cry when marrying.

May the people of one heart be one, and the white heads be inseparable.

Bamboo rod Ho Yuan Yuan, fish tail He Zhen Zhen!

The boy is heavy-minded, how to use a money knife for!

Translation: Love should be as pure as snow on a mountain, as bright as the moon in the clouds. I heard that you have two hearts, so I came to break with you. Today is like the last party, tomorrow will be the end of the ditch. I slowly moved my footsteps along the ditch, and the past life was like a ditch flowing east, never to return. Crying miserably, I resolutely left home and went with the king, unlike ordinary girls who cried miserably. I thought that if I married a loving and attentive man, I could love each other until I was old and happy forever. The love of men and women is as soft and long as a fishing rod, and the fish are so lively and cute! Men should put affection first, and the loss of sincere love cannot be compensated by any money and treasure.

Interpretation: Zhuo Wenjun, a talented daughter of the Han Dynasty, a native of Linqiong (belonging to present-day Qionglai, Sichuan) in the Western Han Dynasty, and a love story similar to the famous han Dynasty scholar Sima Xiang is still talked about today. She also has many masterpieces passed down to future generations. It is famous for "May the white head of the one heart not be separated".

According to legend, after Sima Xiangru's discovery, he gradually lingered in Yile and swirled around in the fat powder pile day by day, until he wanted to take the woman of Maoling as a concubine. Zhuo Wenjun couldn't bear it, because he wrote this "White Head Yin", which was presented similarly. The poem conveys the author's noble attitude towards love. Although she has no memories and fantasies about her old feelings, it is more of a deep reflection on life.
