"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green in the sky. The evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sunset mountain is outside the mountain..."
The "folding willow love" at the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics surprised everyone, amazed the world, and let the world understand the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
Of course, foreigners cannot understand the thousand-year-old tradition of "folding willows to send affection" like the sons and daughters of China, and they cannot truly appreciate the deep affection of the connotation of the word "folding willows to send farewell".
I am a real swimming cat, a lover of poetry culture, remember to use your fingers to pay attention to me!
Today, I will talk to you about the poetic tradition of folding willows to send love, and talk about 4 excellent ancient poems about willow farewells, and the taste of love has been passed down for thousands of years!
Why did the ancients like to use "folded willow" to send farewell?
The general explanation is to say that "willow" harmonizes the "stay" sound, the gift of willow indicates a souvenir, indicating the affection of reluctance, and "folding willow" reflects the burning enthusiasm of not wanting to separate.
Of course, there are other explanations, and there are words in the Book of Poetry that read, "In the past, I was in the past, and the willow was yiyi."
"Willow" represents the love of "clinging to each other", and the shape of the willow can express sorrow in an image, so posterity uses "folding willow" to express the sorrow and hatred that cannot be eliminated.
There is also a relatively niche explanation, saying that things like willow can live everywhere and be at ease with encounters. Therefore, the sender hopes that the departing person will be like Willow, who can do everything well in a different place and be safe and secure.
All in all, folded willows became an important part of ancient culture and added a lot of poetry to life. Let's enjoy 5 willow farewell poems.
The first song, "Send Yuan Er Envoy Anxi": Weicheng is light and dusty towards the rain, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. Persuade the jun to drink a glass of wine, and go out of the west to yang guan without a reason.
This poem, also known as "Weicheng Qu", was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei. Wang Wei's friend was about to go out of the jam, and Wang Wei wrote this song that has been sung for eternity, expressing his reluctance to do so.
"The guest house is green and willow color new", the willow harmonic sound "stay", the willow leaves washed by the rain appear very fresh, and also represent the reluctance in Wang Wei's heart.
That is to say, this poem has already indicated the theme of "farewell", although it is a bright and relaxed tone, but it hides a sad and sad psychology.
"Persuade the jun to drink a glass of wine, and the west out of the yang guan no reason", the text is not only not profound, but it is what people often say when they send them off.
However, only Wang Wei wrote these two sentences into poetry, but also wrote to the hearts of the farewell people, "do not make deep words, the voice is full of emotion", the sense of truth, overflowing with words, no wonder it can be passed down through the ages.
Song 2, "Farewell": Willow East Wind Tree, Qingqing Jia YuHe. Recently, it has been a lot of hardships, and it should be more than one.
The author of this poem is the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhizhuo. The poem is very simple, the text is not esoteric, but it is inexhaustible.
"Recently, I have been struggling and suffering, and I should be separated from it." Why is the willow frequently climbed to the point of "distress"?
The reason is very simple, because there are too many people who leave, because the departing people are "folding the willow" to send farewell, so they are living and suffering from the willow.
Although it is said that it is "Willow" who suffers, in fact, it is the people who really suffer "send-off and parting".
Therefore, through the custom of folding willows, this poem writes about the torment of parting feelings and the most precious true feelings between people, which is very intriguing.
The third song, "The Bridge of Love": There is always only love that is difficult, what is called the Bridge of Love. Since then, he has changed his name to Folding Willow and let him leave the hate one by one.
The author of this poem is the Tang Dynasty poet YongTao. Yongtao once bid farewell to a friend and came to the local "Love Bridge" in Yazhou.
Yong Tao was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to call the bridge of love?" ”
The subordinate explained: "In this place in Yazhou, the people who welcome the delivery are bounded by this bridge, and the people who send the guests will not send them here." Therefore, everyone calls this bridge the Bridge of Love, and when it comes to this bridge, the farewell is over, and you can turn around and leave. ”
Yong Tao shook his head: "This statement is not true, how can the parting feeling end so easily?" ”
Then, Yongtao asked his men to prepare pen and ink and write the poem on the bridge.
The first two sentences do not need to be explained, and the last two sentences "Henceforth renamed Folding Willow, let him leave the hate strip", which means that the "Love Bridge" is changed to "Folding Willow Bridge".
Because the sorrow of parting, like a willow leaf, makes people feel infinite sorrow and will never disappear.
And this "folding willow bridge" reflects people's cherished feelings, and it also pins on the poet's good wishes that there will be no sorrow and hatred in the world.
The hatred is invisible, but the poet turns the virtual into reality, writing the invisible melancholy with the tangible wicker, which is exquisitely conceived and full of skill, which is amazing.
The 4th song, "Folding Willow": The waterside willow dust silk, immediately annoyed jun folded a branch. Only the spring breeze is the most sympathetic, and the courtesy blows into the hands.
The author of this poem is the Tang Dynasty poet Yang Juyuan. This poem writes images such as spring breeze and willow, reflecting the inseparable feelings at the time of farewell.
"Immediately bother to fold a branch", why fold the willow? Naturally, it is because it is difficult to give up in the face of parting.
The best thing about this poem is the last two sentences: "Only the spring breeze is the most sympathetic, and the courtesy blows into the hands." ”
Only the spring breeze knows how to cherish the most, still amorously blowing the willow branches that have left the trunk of the tree in the hands of the departed.
Here, first of all, the anthropomorphic technique is used, and the ruthless spring breeze is written as a "person" who understands emotions and understands meaning, which better expresses emotions.
Then, poetry also has a "symbolic" meaning. The spring breeze is obviously the sender, representing the infinite courtesy of the sender.
The "willow branch in the hand" symbolizes the person who resigns, representing the infinite gratitude of the departing person to the sender.
In the cultural atmosphere of "folding willows", leaving sorrow and hate has a poetic meaning, so that people after a thousand years can still feel the sorrow and joy of the ancients.
