Mid-Autumn Festival: Chinese unique emotions about the moon

author:Zhou Guoping

Once a year, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here again. Today, let's talk to my friends about which of the ancient Chinese Yongyue poems I like the most. They may not be written about the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they are all emotional because of the moon.

Chinese have a special affection for the moon, folk festivals with the moon, scholars and doctors to appreciate the moon as a graceful thing, ancient poems full of moon imagery, perhaps reflect a solid local complex. For those who stay in their hometowns, the moon that rises and sets above the house is a companion who sees each other every day, and the moon's clouds and sunshine will trigger endless thoughts. Once you leave home, the moon is still at home, and it is inevitable to see the moon homesickness.

Westerners seem to rarely think about moon viewing, they are busy with production and travel, and they do not have this idle mood. Western culture worships the sun, Apollo, an active god.

Today's Chinese have become on par with Westerners and have become very busy. So, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, we may wish to recall our own traditions, think about whether our hearts are too rough compared with the ancients, and whether our lives are too unsympathetic?

I divide these poems into three categories.

Mid-Autumn Festival: Chinese unique emotions about the moon

1

First, write homesick and sad

Li Bai pondered quietly

The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground.

Look up at the bright moon and look down at your hometown.

In the Yongyue poems, and even in all the ancient poems in China, this "Quiet Night Thought" is undoubtedly the most widely circulated, and it is truly known to women and children. It deserves this glory, not only short and concise, natural and catchy, but also whether it is words or expressed emotions, it is so simple, simple and imageable that everyone can understand. Being alone in a foreign land, insomnia at night, and missing home was originally a very painful thing, but it was written so "quietly", so idyllic, so poetic. There is only one "frost" word in the whole poem, which hints at the coldness of the situation, a "bowing down" action, revealing the inner depression.

Du Fu Moonlit Night

Tonight in the month of The State of The Moon, I only look at it alone. Pity the little children, and do not remember Chang'an. The incense mist clouds are wet, and the qinghui jade arm is cold. When to lean on the false pretense, double photo tear stains dry.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu was imprisoned by the rebels in Chang'an, looking at the moon and missing his family who had wandered in Yanzhou. People in Chang'an, but do not write Chang'an month, only write About The Month of Yanzhou, because the author's heart is completely in The Month of Chang'an. Write about the moon, but also do not write about the moon, only write about the wives of imaginary moons and young children who have not been relieved of their sorrows, because the author's heart is completely on his wife and children. The thoughts in the midst of chaos are naturally full of misery. However, even if it is not chaotic, you will still be deeply moved by the affection that is soaked in the whole poem. When you are traveling alone, your wife is the boudoir of "looking at the moon alone", and your child is the little child of "unsolved Memory of Chang'an", so how can people rest assured.

2. Solitary Japanese Love

Li Bai Drink alone under the moon

A pot of wine between the flowers, drinking alone without blind dates. Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow into three people. The moon did not drink, and the shadow disciple followed me. Temporarily accompanied by the moon will be shadowed, happy and spring. My song and moon linger, and my dancing shadow is chaotic. When you wake up, you have sex with each other, and when you are drunk, you disperse. Yongjie travels mercilessly, phased in with Yun Han.

We are playing a one-act play right before our eyes. Set: Flower Room. Props: A pot of wine. Character: A poet who drinks alone. The theme of speechlessness: loneliness. Then the plot twists and turns. The first fold: raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes three people. Now the poet does not seem to be alone anymore and has two drinking friends. However, Mingyue and Shadow did not understand the drink, even if they were drinking friends, they were still lonely. So, at the second fold, the poet got up and sang, "I sing the moon and wander, I dance in a chaotic way", let's take the bright moon and the shadow as dance partners. In the third fold, after some pleasure in suffering, the poet was drunk and realized that only after death in heaven, like the bright moon, can he get rid of loneliness.

There are two kinds of loneliness in people. One is the loneliness of the world, Li Bai loves his friends, and he has many poems written when his friends gather to drink, and this loneliness is easy to lift. The other is the loneliness in the universe, life is short and ethereal, there is no foundation, this loneliness is the essential factor of life, only death can lift it, but at the same time it lifts life. "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" is about this kind of loneliness.

Ouyang Xiu sheng chazi

On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day. The moon is on the willow tip, and the person is about after dusk.

On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still there. Not seeing last year's people, tears wet spring shirt sleeves.

Ouyang Xiu was a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, who learned to be rich in five cars, but you can see how fresh and simple his little order is. "The moon is on the willow tip, and the man is about after dusk." Such a beautiful and clear artistic conception, such a natural sentence, let people see how to forget, how can not be passed down as a famous sentence for thousands of years.

The whole word writes a lost love, the scene is still the same, the love is no longer there, making people can't help but be sad and cry. The taste of love is the most difficult to say, it is incomparably sweet, but it often brings people helplessness, pity, distress and sadness. However, these painful experiences are not a rich gift of love, a precious wealth that belongs first to the soul and then to art, as evidenced by the works of great Chinese and foreign poets in ancient and modern times.

Third, write about the universe and life

Li Bai asked the wine to the moon

When does the moon come to the blue sky? I'll stop the cup and ask about it today. People climb the moon and cannot get it, but the moon walks with people. It was like a flying mirror approaching Dan Que, and the green smoke was extinguished. But seeing the night coming from the sea, would you rather know that xiang yunjian is not? White rabbit pounding medicine autumn and spring, Chang'e lonely perched with whom neighbors? Today's people do not see the ancient time and month, but this month once looked at the ancients. If the ancients and today's people flowed water, they all looked at the bright moon together. May the moonlight shine on the golden bottle when the song is against the wine.

The opening sentence, "When does the moon come to the blue sky", directly ask the universe. Today science has calculated the age of the moon, but Li Bai asks not a scientific question, but a philosophical question. "Today's people don't see the ancient time and month, but this month once looked at the ancients." If the ancients and today's people flowed water, they all looked at the bright moon together. These four sentences are the finishing touches of the whole poem, pointing out the reason for the question. The same round of bright moon, illuminating countless generations, countless generations, seeing the same round of bright moon, this contrast, especially set off the shortness of life. Think about where the ancients who once saw this same round of bright moon went, and now see this same round of bright moon themselves will soon cease to exist, so how can people not feel despair. So, the result of asking the wine for the month is to ask no more questions, don't think about it again, drink the bar, and forget the great sorrow of life in the drunk.

Su Shi Water tune song head

When is the moon? Ask the wine to qingtian. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go home by the wind, and I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high places are cold. Dancing to clarify the shadow, how it seems to be in the human world!

Turn zhu ge, low daido, no sleep. There should be no hatred, what is biased towards other times? People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has clouds and sunshine, and this matter is difficult to complete. May people be long-lasting, and thousands of miles will be cherished together.

Among all the Song poems, this "Water Tune Song Head" is perhaps the most widely recited and popular. Su Dongpo is worthy of being a great literary hero, the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation, originally the most common theme, to his pen, partial can be extraordinary, the moon appreciation is so grand and easy to fly, huai people have such a broad mind. In the last film to appreciate the moon, the philosopher who thinks about him asks "when is the bright moon", and the romantic poet on his body "wants to return with the wind", but the last wish is plain "how to be in the world". In the next film, he is nostalgic for the moon, and his sentimental poet complains that the moon is "biased towards another time round", and the open-minded philosopher on his body uses "this matter is difficult to complete" to enlighten, and the final wish is also plain "I hope that people will be long". Su Dongpo is a philosopher and a poet, but in the final analysis, he is an ordinary person with a true temperament, which is exactly where he is most lovely.

Su Ci is known for its boldness, but it is summed up by the word boldness. The charm of his works comes from the charm of his personality, he has both boldness and true temperament, these two qualities are extremely rare to unify in the same person, so that the words flowing out of his pen are both majestic and ethereal, both heroic and clear, not only large, but also high. Reading his works, we are like ascending to the horizon, really feel that the heavens and the earth are wide and life is beautiful.
