In the "Book of Swords and Enmity", Chen Jialuo rushed to the road in the vast desert and met a Hui girl who looked like a heavenly immortal, and the two walked together, and the scenery in his heart was beautiful.
Under the stars, by the campfire, the two men collected flowers from the shepherds on the ground and talked about the cowherd and weaver girl in the sky. He translated Qin Guan's Queqiao Immortal into a huiyu and read it to her...
Hearing the last, the young girl was silent, with crystal tears in her eyes, and said: "The Han people are really smart, they will make up such a good song." ”
This is the charm of Chinese characters, the charm of literature, and the charm of ancient poetry. Among the many poems about Tanabata, this Queqiao Immortal is rated as No. 1 There should be no objection to it:
The clouds are clever, the flying stars are hateful, and the silver man is dark.
As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and conquer countless people.
Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, bear with Queqiao to return to the road.
If the two loves are long, they are in the twilight.
When I was a student, although I read and memorized it, although it was also a little hazy and ignorant, it was difficult to truly understand what a good autumn was before it was cold.
The good words and good things of the world, like the wine of the jar, are about the year.
Standing on the side of the road from thirty to forty, occasionally reviewing the small words of the old neighbor, it has not changed, or these words, these words, or such arrangements, only because after years of brewing, it has become thick and fragrant, and it seems to be slightly bitter.
Silently, read it slowly, you will find that every word is a cup of wine, worth savoring, and every word is also a star, which makes people obsessed with reverie. Drinking these few cups of empty wine, reverie about this invisible silver man, suddenly lost, nothing was obtained, but it was clear that in his heart there was a softness and light pleasure like "there is a family in the depths of the white clouds".
As the years go by, even if they are getting old, it is not entirely frustrating.
In the early 1990s, on the other side of the ocean, Mu Xin, the year of Hua Jia, talked about this Que Song zi in class, saying that when he was a child, he was moved by reading it, and he has been touched until now. Because, "talent is abundant, really know how to use affection."
I don't know if Mu Xinxing's touch on this word and the feeling of his youth in his twilight years are unharmed. I think it is different, after all, there is a long gap in life. The red dust drifted away all his life, and after all, he did not meet a gentle and porridge-like beauty. This is the journey of the wooden heart.
"I really know how to use affection", this sentence makes people feel related. People who write words know how to use affection between the lines; people who love each other know how to use affection when they get together and part.
The consistent tenderness makes this word rich as a cloud from beginning to end, soft as the wind, clear as dew, and the person who reads the word can't help but have a sweet mouth.
The ancient myth of the cowherd and the weaver girl, read with the eyes of advancing with the times, is actually a modern fairy tale, a song of long-distance love-
A pair of men and women who love each other, because of practical reasons, are separated from each other, the sky is far away, thousands of rivers and mountains, and can only see each other once a year. And this once-in-a-year meeting lasts only one day. What did they think of this arrangement of fate?
"As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless victories in the world."
Victory over the countless golden winds, jade dew, and encounters in the world, this scene, such an indescribable touch, made me think of the shock of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu when they first met, and the crazy handprints that Jack and Ruth staged in the quiet corner of the cabin, scratching on the glass mist.
People in love, instead of extravagantly seeking the length of the time span, it is better to enjoy the mellowness in the process, remove impurities, refine the essence, and condense into an amber, better than a barren mountain and rocks. If there is love in the heart, it becomes eternal in an instant.
For this fleeting day, they have to wait a year.
Perhaps, they can think like this: every past day, close to the day of seeing each other, the sweetness in their hearts will increase a little. Because there is this golden moment in life, the thoughts of day and night have become endless foreplay.
"Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams" is the climax of the encounter. The eight words that are concise and elegant contain eight thousand words. Blank space is literature and an art of life.
"If the two loves are long, they are in the twilight of the dynasty." This became a love motto that still endures. Some people say that if love can withstand the test of separation, even if it is a short meeting, it is better than staying together in the twilight.
I said, love is such a wonderful thing, why should it be tested, why should it be tested, it is all for experience, without distraction, with all your heart, without gossamer distractions. Don't think about the upcoming separation, don't worry about what will happen next year. Love is in the moment, love is in the present. Life, in its own right, is only to live in the present.
From this queu, what I read is a tenderness like a dream, love in the present and love in eternity, and a long-term determination of two feelings.
How a person falls in love will spend his life.
What kind of love concept you hold, you will also hold a corresponding outlook on life.
There is a British literary film called "One Day", which also tells the story of one issue and one meeting. This period is also one year, and the period is limited to one day.
The heroine Emma, and the male and female protagonist Destin, fell in love at first sight at the graduation party, and after a night of entanglement, rushed to their respective new journeys. The two agreed to meet on this day every year to talk about their recent situation and do some things they love to do.
For twenty years, the two have established their own families, have their own children, and are on their own life tracks, tasting laughter, tears, and sorrows.
When I watched this movie, I thought of a sentence in "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter": As long as I can see you, I can be calm for half a year.
The daily trivialities stir up the dregs of the heart, and the duty of marriage dims the passion of youth. Gradually, facing the pillow person, a lot of words wanted to say and rest.
People, who can't get rid of their innate loneliness, need to talk, talk without concealment and complete trust, and the understanding of the other party.
In this predicament, they became distant but confidants of the same heart, maintaining a pure and sincere love that was hidden deep in their hearts. To this end, we will meet once a year. Therefore, the movie also has a name, called "One Day a Year".
Towards the twilight, it needs to withstand the grinding of a long stream of thin water, and this long stream of thin water sometimes sparkles and waves, and sometimes floats with all kinds of miscellaneous things of life.
When the golden wind and jade dew meet, there is no test of wind and rain in the same boat, there is no consumption of chai rice oil and salt, it is like the fifteenth moon, like a dream, like a ring, making people yearn for it.
If it's too wonderful, don't think about possession. If Emma and Destin form a marriage, presumably, they will eventually fall into the cruelty of reality.
Sometimes, possession means the beginning of destruction.
If the cowherd and the weaver girl finally become dependents and go to the twilight, how many moments of golden wind and jade dew can they experience? How long can you keep the tenderness like water and the good times like dreams?
Lu Xun, who has a clear understanding of people's hearts and minds, relegates Chang'e to a mortal, so she becomes a resentful woman from a fairy, complaining to Wu Gang, who has worked hard to support her family- eating crow fried sauce noodles, and every day crow fried sauce noodles.
When she steals the Divine Dan and soars alone, one day, she will also miss the taste of crow fried sauce noodles, right?
Life is so wonderful and helpless. Life, the situation changes with the heart, how to calculate well.
Regarding the story of the cowherd weaver girl, Chen Jialuo later said: "Although the two immortals in the heavens only meet once a year, they can meet for thousands of years. ”
