The so-called "three lives and three lives, ten miles of peach blossoms", in fact, the authenticity and aesthetics are far less than the "peach blossom poems" that have been passed down through the ages. The title of the poem is "Title Capital City Nanzhuang".
Last year today in this door,
The human face is red with peach blossoms.
The face of man does not know where to go,
Peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.
The author of the poem is the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hu. Because of this "Title Capital City Nanzhuang", but also because of this "human face peach blossom" work, Cui Hu is ultimately an amorous poet.
There is a story behind this poem, in the 11th year of Tang Zhenyuan, Cui Hu came to the outskirts of the capital for a spring tour, and in the process of the spring tour, he met a woman named Dai Niang.
This year, Cui Hu entered Beijing to take the imperial examination, but unfortunately fell off the list. Such a college entrance examination student, before leaving the capital, was bored and in a very bad mood, so of course he wanted to go out for a walk when he had the opportunity. It happens that this day is the Qingming Festival, and the Tang Dynasty Qingming Festival has the habit of suburban sacrifice. Therefore, in the late Tang Dynasty, Du Mu made "The rain is pouring during the Qingming Dynasty, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls", why are there so many pedestrians on the road? It's about going to the wilderness. Cui Hu is also fine, he is also bored in the hotel, coupled with the college entrance examination, he was also depressed, so he also wanted to take a walk in the suburbs. He walked and walked, and before he knew it, he was far away from the city and came to a mountain pass.
Originally felt that there was no way, which knew that "the mountains and rivers are doubtful and there is no way, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village", turning over the mountain pass, suddenly found full of peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, flowers blooming all over the ground, falling in the ying, the scenery is very beautiful. There is also a farmhouse located in the place where the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Seeing someone's home, Cui Hu felt thirsty, so he walked toward the farmhouse, thinking as he walked: I don't know who has put his home in such a beautiful place, maybe it is some great hermit in the world. Cui Hu came to the outside of the courtyard wall, only to see that the firewood door was closed, and only a few peach blossoms of the peach trees in the courtyard came out of the wall. Cui Hu then knocked softly on the door, and while knocking on the door, he said: "Xiaosheng appreciates the spring passing by, can you please drink water?" After a while, I heard someone enter the courtyard, and then the door "creaked" open. Cui Hu pondered that the person who opened the door should be an old man with white hair and long hair and bamboo canes and shoes, so that he could look like a hermit. Who knows, but it is a young girl of good age who comes out. Although this young girl is dressed in coarse cloth, she has a handsome and unworldly temperament.
Cui Hu is a lonely and widowed person, that is, his personality is originally very introverted, and he is very embarrassed to face girls. At this time, the door of the family also knocked, sorry, you also have to talk, you have to say it again. The girl saw that he had no malicious intentions, so she let him enter the courtyard and enter the grass hall to sit down, and she went to Zhang Luo to make tea. Cui Hu looked around, only to see that the indoor windows were bright and spotless. Against the wall was a row of bookshelves filled with poetry books. The table is covered with pens, ink, paper, and stones, and there is a couplet hanging on the wall: "A few willows are blowing snow in the wind, and countless peach blossoms are soaked in water." "The words are elegant and the taste is good, which is definitely not the style of the general rural farmhouse." A "Yongmei Poem" written on the paper on the desk near the window: "Su Yan ming cold snow, clear fragrance Ren Xiaofeng." Poor me, snubbed in this mountain. "This is the author borrowing plum blossoms to sigh the world. This moment caused Cui Hu to resonate with this college entrance examination student!
Just watching, the girl took tea out, and Cui Hu even thanked him. But after drinking two sips of tea, I felt awkward, why? Because there are only two people in the grass hall, this person and people together, do not speak, unless they are relatives or have very good feelings, otherwise it is very embarrassing. You can't let the girls say it first. So Cui Hu said in anticipation, he first reported his Boling Cui Huo, the surname and ancestral home of Yin Gong. You see people didn't ask, he was anxious to say first, whose last name I am. But after he said it, the girl had no choice but to reply, "Little Lady Dai, who lives here with her father." After saying this, the girl said nothing more. So Cui Hu had to turn the topic around and praise the pleasant scenery of this place, like a fairyland, which is a rare place for spring travel. Lady Dai just listened to him talk loudly, smiling and chin up, as if agreeing but not speaking. Cui Hu was originally introverted, and there was nothing to say after saying a few words.
One of the two people sat at the door of the grass hall drinking water, and the other stood under the peach blossoms of the trees, standing silently. The mountains and fields were silent, silent, only the breath of spring and the quiet breath of two young people. In this case, it is difficult for a normal young man and woman not to have a circle of fine ripples in their hearts.
This silent blank time that two people spend together in the grass courtyard under the blooming peach tree is very critical, it is like a blank space in the painting, the silent part in the music, and the germination of the emotions of the two people absolutely plays the role of "silence is better than sound at this time". Cui Huo, who usually rarely touches girls, naturally does not understand the girl's thoughts. He saw that Lady Dai had been silent for a long time, and although he could admire her beautiful figure standing silently in the peach blossom bushes, he was still a little worried in his heart. Seeing that the sun had turned west, Cui Hu had to get up, sincerely thank him, and then reluctantly bid farewell to the girl. The girl sent him out of the hospital, leaning alone on the edge of the chai gate, silently watching Cui Hu gradually drift away. Cui Hu also looked back from time to time, only to see a peach blossom-like girl, reflecting the gorgeous peach blossoms in front of the door, swaying together in the spring wind. Cui Hu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a beautiful picture of spring scenery! But the infinite attachment in Lady Dai's eyes, he could no longer see clearly.
Dai Niang's investment in this relationship that did not know where it came from was far deeper than that of Cui Hu. After Cui Hu returned to his hometown, although he often thought of Dai Niang, who had a relationship with him, the pressure of his studies made him gradually forget about this matter. This can also be seen that Cui Hu re-read to prepare for the exam, which is really hard work. The following year, Cui Hu went to Chang'an again to take the exam. This time, "Kung Fu pays off", ah, passed the entrance examination. In ancient times, it was unbelievable to pass the examination. The first step into the career, the second before obtaining an official position to go to the official position, the scholars will often marry or betrothed at this time. This is called "the night of the cave flower candle, when the gold list is inscribed", which is the two greatest happy things in life that the ancients thought. At this time, Cui Hu thought of the Lady Dai who met last year on the outskirts of the southern suburbs of the city.
A year later, he went to look for Lady Dai on this spring afternoon. It was not easy to find the small courtyard in the Peach Blossom Valley, but Cui Hu was still like last year, knocking on the door and saying: "Xiaosheng appreciates the spring passing by, can you please drink?" But after a long time, the door did not "creak" open like last year. Cui Hu waited at the door for a long time, and no one came. I saw that the peach trees in the courtyard had stretched countless blooming peach blossoms to the outside of the courtyard wall. Remembering last year's scene, as if remembering it vividly, Cui Hu couldn't help but sigh deeply. So he inscribed a poem on the door on impulse, that is, the poem "Last year today, in this door, the faces of people were peach blossoms red"!
Cui Hu "went away with pleasure and returned with disappointment", and his heart could not let go, and there was always a voice in his head asking: "Where did she go?" Is it out or out? Or even married? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was unforgettable for Lady Dai, especially the shadow in her "peach blossom with human face", which often haunted his mind, so that the tea and dinner did not think.
After a few days, he went to the south of the city again to search. This time, he expertly found the cottage. But before I could get closer, I heard a cry coming from the house. Cui Hu's heart tightened, and he quickly walked to the front of the cottage and asked in a loud voice. At this moment, it was a white-haired old man, trembling and majestic, looking up and down at Cui Huo in a blur of tears, and asked, "Are you Cui Huo?" In the face of the old man saying his name, Cui Hu was a little surprised, he nodded and said, yes, the late life is Cui Hu. When the old man heard this, sorrow came from it, and he took his hand and cried, saying, "You killed my daughter!" Cui Hu was surprised and hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the old man's original commission?" The old man burst into tears and choked up and said, "Love lady Dainiang, eighteen years old, knowledgeable and dali, waiting for the word in the boudoir." Since I saw you last year, I have been worried about my stomach day and night. It only says that if you have any feelings, you will come again. She waited day after day, spring and autumn, and never saw you. She thought about it and suddenly lost it. After a year, Ben will be desperate. A few days ago, I went to a relative's house to stay, and when I came back to see the poem inscribed on your door, I hated the missed opportunity, thinking that I would never see you again in this life. Therefore, there is no food, no words, no worries, and one disease ends! The reason why the old decay only has this daughter to rely on each other, and the reason why she has not married is to find a good son-in-law so that our father and daughter can rely on it. Now that Lady Dai has gone before me, didn't you kill her? ”
When Cui Hu heard this, his heart ached at that time! The emotional barrier between the two people, which was as thin as paper but as thick as a mountain, was immediately poked open. At this time, Cui Huofang knew that Lady Dai was so affectionate to herself. Cui Hu's tears touched the heavens. Lady Dai was held by Cui Hu and shook it, and she came along with it, so she was resurrected.
Dai Niang can die for love, and can live for love, this is probably the "destined fate in the underworld" in the world, we ultimately regard love as a kind of faith, just like "human face peach blossom", just like Cui Hu and Dai Niang. So if you still have love in your hands, please believe that "love has its own providence" and "you must not believe in fate." What a beautiful love! "Last year, in this door today, people's faces were red with peach blossoms."
