Translation:
This "Neighbor Girl" is Bai Juyi's early love poem. To whom was this poem written? It is written for the poet's first love who can't let go of his life, the girl next door Xiang Ling.
That year, the poet Bai Juyi was just 19 years old, and in Fuli, Xuzhou (present-day Su County, Anhui), he fell in love with a 15-year-old neighbor girl Xiang Ling. If Lu You broke up his happy marriage with Tang Wan under the compulsion of his mother, Bai Juyi and Xiang Ling did not even have a happy marriage under the obstruction of Bai Juyi's mother. The poet could not give Xiang Ling a name, could not give her a lifetime of happiness. Doomed to a fruitless end, only life is death! How many sleepless nights poets fall asleep in their dreams with the fang posture of Xiang Ling, and the nightmares that linger in the heart often accompany the poet, making him lose his soul and fall into despair...
I have "prefaced" to my novel "The Testament of the Sea of Love":
What is poignant? Poignancy is the crushing of beautiful things!
Cao Xueqin's Lin Daiyu, what we are left with is a sad heart and the endless and endless tears.
Thousands of years have passed, and the poet Bai Juyi will be his
When he was eleven years old, because of the war in his hometown, Bai Juyi moved his family with his mother Chen to Fuli, Xuzhou, where his father Bai Jigeng was an official, and soon he met the neighbor girl who was four years younger than himself, Xiang Ling. Xiao Xiangling is beautiful, delicate and cute and proficient in music. As a result, the two soon became playmates who were inseparable from each other day and night. They spent eight carefree years together. Suddenly, one day, he found that this little girl who was inseparable from him had become a big girl with a graceful appearance. The poet is deeply aware that they are already in love.
"Lou Ting fifteen victories over the Heavenly Immortals, daytime Lady Dryland Lotus." In Bai Juyi's eyes, the fifteen-year-old Xiang Ling looked like a heavenly immortal, and only Chang'e and lotus flowers in the moon could match her.
"Where to idly teach parrot language, under the blue screen window embroidery bed." He liked to watch her stand in front of the embroidered bed under the blue sand window and tease the parrot: lively, gentle, elegant, and sometimes innocent and mischievous. Every morning he came to her house, and as soon as he entered the hospital, the parrot said, "Brother Lotte, Brother Lotte!" Keep calling. This scene of this scene will always be deeply imprinted in the heart of the poet Bai Juyi. So that after they were separated, no! Even in my life, once I think of Xiang Ling, the deepest memory is her wonderful shadow of "idly teaching parrot language, embroidering under the blue screen window in front of the bed"...
What I remember most is her wonderful shadow of "idly teaching parrot language, embroidered in front of the bed under the blue screen window"...
Bai Juyi's mother saw that they were inseparable, and was furious about this, reminding Bai Juyi: "You are a nineteen-year-old adult man, there is a difference between men and women since ancient times, you can no longer be entangled with the two like this, you are the hope of the Bai family, you must pass the entrance examination, Guangzong Yaozu, how can you have children and daughters at this time?" ”
He studied hard behind closed doors, and for more than ten days he did not step into Xiang Ling's house, however, how could he suppress his longing for Xiang Ling. He carried his mother on his back
Meet Xiang Ling.
"Brother Lotte, Brother Lotte!" The parrot's cheerful call made Xiang Ling in front of the embroidered bed under the screen window very happy, and then, bursting into tears, said: "Brother Lotte, I thought you wouldn't come again..."
"Xiang Ling!" He held Xiang Ling's delicate hands tightly and said, "I want to explain our relationship to my mother and make her agree to our marriage." When Xiang Ling heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but flush his cheeks.
"You wait, I'll tell my mother."
"What, you're going to marry Xiang Ling?" How is this possible! Think of my white family generation of eunuchs. How could a woman from a cloth house in the Xiangling family be my daughter-in-law! Bai Juyi's mother said indignantly.
"But we are truly in love with each other."
"Truly in love? How old are you? You know what love is! ”
"Mother!"
"You shut me up!"
Suddenly looking back, Bai Juyi saw Xiang Ling, who was hiding outside the window and eavesdropping on her conversation with her mother. At this time, Xiang Ling was already in tears. When he saw him, he panicked and wiped his tears and turned away. Bai Juyi looked at her figure and called out to her, "Xiang Ling! Xiang Ling...."His mother stopped him fiercely and said, "You are going to walk out of this door today, and you will not come back again!" Don't recognize me as a mother again! ”
In the mist of tears, he helplessly watched Xiang Ling's petite and exquisite back disappear into his own eyes.
Judging from the content of the poem "The Girl Next Door", it should be a work of recollection after the two broke up, and the specific year of creation remains to be examined.
XiangLing, whose father is from Hunan and his mother is from Lingbi, Henan, cannot be examined. Xiangling is the first love of the poet Bai Juyi and the unforgettable love of Bai Juyi's life. Due to the obstruction of Bai Juyi's mother, no matter how Bai Juyi pleaded and how hard Xiang Ling tried, he did not become a partner in the end. Bai Juyi wrote many nostalgic poems for Xiang Ling. "The Girl Next Door" is one of them. For thousands of years, people have mourned the sorrow of poets; despaired of Xiang Ling.'
Bai Juyi once said: "Those who touch people's hearts, do not have feelings first." The reason why Bai Juyi's "Neighbor Girl" has still resonated with people for thousands of years is that this poem moves people with emotion. And this kind of love between men and women is common to all human beings.
Goethe said: "Which young boy is not in love, and which young girl is not pregnant with spring?" ”
Goethe said: "Which young boy is not in love, and which young girl is not pregnant with spring?" ("The Troubles of Young Werther") And the moment of love at first sight: "the heart has a spirit and a sharp point", it will be unforgettable. Therefore, "the lover's eyes out of the West", especially the first love's "raising his hand", a smile and a smile, will be frozen in the hearts of men and women, and it will be difficult to extinguish until death:
"Lou Ting fifteen victories over the Heavenly Immortals, Daytime Grace Dryland Lotus."
Where idle parrot language is taught, before the embroidery bed under the blue screen window. ”
Bai Juyi's "Neighbor Girl" wrote down this sentiment shared by human beings in just a few sentences. "Neighbor Girl" is a poem, but also a painting, a picture that Bai Juyi has been attached to all his life, his first love - "Xiangling Teasing Parrot Figure".
A picture of Bai Juyi's lifelong attachment to his first love, "Xiangling Teasing Parrot Figure".
I think of the last two sentences of the poem: "Where idle parrot language, before the embroidery bed under the blue screen window." "I'm afraid the poet wrote it with tears in his eyes!" If in the first two verses of the poem there is some sweetness of memory in the admiration of the lover's beauty, and from the taste of the last two verses of the poem I even hear the poet's choking voice hidden behind the text...
