Every Lantern Festival, Ouyang Xiu's "Sheng Cha Zi Yuan Xi" will haunt your ears as promised!
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.
Lantern Festival, also known as New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, Shangyuan Festival!
Although the origin of the Lantern Festival is said to be "Pinglu", and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sacrifices "Taiyi God", as the first full moon night of the year, it is naturally very romantic, and eventually developed into a carnival and Valentine's Day!
Especially during the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, New Year's Eve was at its peak, and in the dream of the fire tree and honeysuckle that never sleeps, a romantic love story was staged.
The Book of Sui and the Biography of Liu Yu records:
"Every night with the first moon, fill the streets with strangers, and gather to play friends." Drums ring in the sky, torches shine on the ground, people wear animal faces, men wear women's clothes, advocate excellent acrobatics, and strange aliens. ”
Chang'an Avenue during the Sui Dynasty Lantern Festival was very lively, and residents rushed out of the street to gather to play, in the sound of drums, under the lanterns, wearing masks to play with each other, encountering each other...
This scene can make up for the encounter between Gu Liufang and Zi Xuan in "The Legend of the Immortal Sword Hero III"!
In such an atmosphere, only love, live up to the good day!
In the Tang Dynasty, the Lantern Festival became even more lively. Liu Su recorded in the "New Language of the Tang Dynasty":
"The capital is looking at the moon and the sun, decorating the meeting of lights and shadows, Kingo is forbidden, and the night is allowed." Your subordinates and slang workers all travel at night. ”
The most dazzling national style of the Tang Dynasty Lantern Festival, carnival is a top-down movement. Everyone hung up the lights all over the city, and everyone participated in the night walk and let themselves go. Of course, this release process is allowed to engage in objects!
The Song Dynasty was even more exaggerated, as Meng Yuanlao recorded in the Tokyo Dream Record:
"The fifteenth day of the first month,...... The lights are harvested on the mountain, the gold and blue are shining, and the splendid embroidery is brilliant. ”
At that time, the fourteenth day of the first month - the sixteenth and thirteenth day of the first month would be closed curfew, and there was a miracle of "women going out in the streets and alleys, from night to Dan, and men and women were confused".
Because of this, there is Ouyang Xiu's "Sheng Cha Zi Yuan Xi", and only then has there is "the head of the willow on the moon, and the person is about after dusk"!
Well, there is a question to ask. Is the Lantern Festival so open and free that it is certain that nothing will happen between men and women?
From day to night, and then to the next morning, "men and women are confused", is it certain that it is not wild?
The answer is uncertain, but it can never be ruled out!
However, ancient officials have always encouraged and supported the Lantern Festival to open a curfew, which can be seen to be acquiescence!
Of course, wild union is not a new thing, and the ancient ancestors advocated free love. In the "Records of History", it is recorded that the great Confucius was born of his parents.
However, this point does not need to be too distorted. The so-called wild union is just a kind of free love in the suburbs supported by the government, and the essence is to confirm the eyes, find the right person, and worship life!
In such a beautiful background, "Sheng Cha Zi" is very easy to understand!
The whole word tells a love story with a good beginning and a sloppy ending.
Last year's Lantern Festival, the lights of the flower market were as bright as day. He met her after dusk, when the moon was first on the willows. What specific appointments do, not written.
But this year's Lantern Festival, the moon is still rising as promised, and the lights are still lit as promised. But the man he dated last year was gone. The thought of this made me feel uneasy and I cried so sadly.
This song, the most beautiful is "the head of the willow on the moon, people about after dusk", just ten words, seemingly writing the scene, but leaving no trace of the little shyness, small mood, small thinking in love are written. It's as if ten thousand words are omitted here...
It must be pointed out that Ouyang Xiu is a married person! And this poem of his is obviously not written for his wife! A "covenant" word, exposed! Whose husband will say to his wife on a big holiday, "Appointment?" Go under that tree! ”
What he made an appointment, it is difficult to say!
The only certainty is that the final outcome is not good, the two broke up and no longer appear in each other's lives!
Therefore, "Sheng Cha Zi Yuan Xi" is really a very tacky, very self-contained, very realistic word.
Only because Ouyang Xiu's level is too high, can he write the great customs into Daya, write out the pattern, and be grounded!
Facts have proved that really don't think of the ancients as too feudal, too conservative, people play more than we will!
Ouyang Xiu's poem only recorded a small corner of the Lantern Festival carnival at that time. That night there will be a lost girl who has been abandoned by a negative person, lamenting in her heart that things are human. At the same time, there were people who were dating and enjoying love that night!
So this song is very magical, and people who are in love will be immersed in the upper gap and smile closely. And people who have lost love will be abused and cry their hearts and lungs! This is the real New Year's Eve, the real love!
Throw away the colored glasses, throw away the feudal barriers, the real New Year's Eve can be a simple Valentine's Day. On this day, men and women can stay homeless at night, on this day, they can date, and even wild together! There is no ban!
If you understand the ancient Lantern Festival and the Shangwei Festival, you will find that there is a reason for the high single rate today. We don't have the atmosphere of the fire tree and honeysuckle that never sleeps, we can't see the east wind and the night to bloom a thousand trees, and we can't meet the right people who have to wait at the end of the lights!
So, how to spend this year's Lantern Festival? About? When the willows are on the moon, can someone wait for you at dusk?
I am @Bluebird v. Sound Dust, a single dog who wants to get into the Wrong Way during the Lantern Festival. Happy Lantern Festival! May you meet your beloved tonight!
