Two dumb two
Sun Yi contented Changle original prose
There is also a silly dumb man in our village
It's not like playing tricks like a dumb guy
He was stupid to the end, walking in a crooked way
Sometimes when you touch a tree or a pig, you know how to turn
If you don't touch it, don't turn
He can't work,
Nor is it like wearing a dumb man
There is only one sound all year round
Hum and chirp, from the head of the village to the end of the village
It seemed like he was the only one who could sing the same song
Silly mute father is a bit cultured
There are gongs and drums in the village
He would write a couplet of gongs and drums for people to see the day and recite prayers
Talk someone listens, family conditions are good, put silly dumb
Feed vigorously
Silly dumb people like to pry people's locks when they are fine
Remove the door of the house
Make his father not know what sins he has done
Broken four old times
His father had put the public deity tablets in the temple
Moved home and hid in a barn for protection
People who don't understand that they can talk on both sides of yin and yang
How can you give birth to a mute son?
Even when Dai Dumb meets Silly Dumb, he wonders
How can a man be dumb like that
unscramble:
Dumb people are often deaf and dumb, unfortunately what if they are still stupid? Ma Xing went on to write such a "silly dumb". He was dumb, he was stupid, not only did he not know any craft, he could not make a living on his own, but he was so stupid that he could not even walk well, only one way to the end, not even to turn, until he touched the south wall (trees, or animals, such as planing pigs).
Such a dumb person naturally cannot work, cannot do things, and cannot make a living. He is even like an animal, and even the sound that comes out is only a voice, "humming and chirping", and the poet can't bear to say that his voice is like some kind of animal, that he "seems to be singing/the same song all his life", yes, "singing" "the same song"—maybe the poet wants to symbolize something by being dumb, silly, singing the same song by being dumb, silly dumb, singing the same song. Obviously, the poet does not want to just write about a stupid dumb man, what he may have found in it, what he wants to express, and we have come to this point, for the time being, without knowing his hole cards.
It may also be that we think too much, and the poet may just want to write about such a poor mute, to express his compassion and sympathy, and does not necessarily need to think about something through this image, this figure, symbolizing something. So the third verse continues to explain the mute life. This poor mute, in fact, the life itself is not bad, the family is still good, his father "a little culture" a little talent can write couplets can play gongs and drums can recite prayers, is a cultural person in the countryside, needed by the villagers, so that he can raise the dumb very well "feeding the strength". It was a mute with a strong body.
This mute, who has the energy to not know how to release, has his hobby, has his way to find fun, is to "like to pry the lock of others / remove the door of others" - why is this so? Is he self-taught? Or have you ever been influenced, such as seeing such a scene, and thus leaving the root of the disease and burning the immortal memory? - Yes, the poet's next sentence is not actually a casual remark, or a purposeless one - "the time of breaking the four olds"—this is history, this is the imprint, this is the collective memory of the past. It's just that his father, in the absurd years of the past, had done good deeds and accumulated virtue, was a persistent, conscientious, and brave cultural man, but still could not resist some kind of cause and effect in the past, and gave birth to such a fool and a dumb, and this dumb was also dumb to the extreme, so that other dumb people would even be surprised how there could be a dumb "dumb like that", a dumb who was completely decayed and could not be carved, a dumb who had not opened a clue at all.
In the last verse, the poet finally appeared and was ready to comment. He said that whenever he saw the mute plot in any show, "I occasionally think / What is the taste of a dumb eating yellow lotus / I also think of a real dumb who uses his craft to make a living / And a wasted mute who sings the same song all his life" - dumb eating yellow lian, there is bitterness that cannot be said, this is the norm, the common feeling of dumb. This is the first meaning of what the poet means. Next, he calls the self-supporting dumb "real dumb", and the stupid dumb is called "waste dumb"—one is "true" and the other is "waste", and the real dumb is still a person with spiritual and moody feelings, and the waste dumb is not first of all dumb, but stupid, because stupid has lost his cognitive ability and emotional expression ability, and becomes a kind of spiritual "waste" person - "singing the same song all his life", and the poet repeats this sentence describing dumb again. Obviously, the author is actually as we guessed in the first verse, Xu is a metaphor, and this metaphor, to the last verse, a sentence, is finally made real, and finally landed.
But we may also think of it this way: a cultural person with conscience and courage gives birth to such a stupid dumb, and the tragedy must be a tragedy, and the lament must be lamentable. But do these two generations also constitute a cultural metaphor in Ma Xing's symbolic chain? That's a long story. Do not expand for now. 】
Now, it's not uncommon to see people play dumb on shows
After everyone laughed, I thought occasionally
What does it taste like to eat yellow lotus for dumb people
I will also think of the real dumb who uses his craft to make a living
And a wasted mute who sings the same song all his life
