Professor Zhong Zhenzhen Q&A Mailbox(74)
Release "slow muscle"
Netizens asked in the day: Song Mei Yaochen's poem "Send Du TingzhiLang Zhongzhi Qianzhou" said: "Guan'e holds a thousand fingers, and the neck is repaired and the slow muscles are wrongly valerian." Another poem of "Pingshan Tang Miscellaneous Sayings" says: "But the words of Si Gong are not double, and the wine is lifted to make the long throat slow muscles high and open the drum flute cavity." "Please mr. Zhong, how should the word "slow muscle" be understood?
Zhong Zhenzhen replied: "Slow muscle", this work "Man muscle", see Tang Ouyang inquiry "Art and Literature Cluster" Volume 57 "Miscellaneous Literature Department" 3 "Seven" quoted by The Eastern Han Dynasty Wang Yue 's "Seven Interpretations": "Li Cai is beautiful, Xi Shi is unique. Plump skin muscles, weak bone fibrous. Hair and sideburns, trim neck. The red face shines brightly, and it is like a glorious face. "Playing with the meaning of the text, it is roughly known to describe the beauty of women's skin. However, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, there are no other use cases, which specifically refer to the beauty of what kind of traits, and we can only investigate according to similar use cases.
"Chu Ci Summoning Souls" said: "Moth eyebrows are wide-eyed, and the eyes are brighter." The Eastern Han Dynasty Wang Yi's "Chapter Sentence" said: "Man, Ze ye." Eyes, vision. Teng, Chi also. The appearance of beautiful women, moth eyebrows and jade white, good eyes Manze, when the eyes are wide-eyed, the essence is soaring, and the people are shocked. ”
"Chu Ci Summoning Souls" also said: "Long hair and man's beard, yanlu is more detached." The Eastern Han Dynasty Wang Yi's "Chapters and Sentences" still says: "Man, Ze." ”
"Chu Ci Da Zhao" also said: "The eyes should be smiling, and the eyebrows are only." The Eastern Han Dynasty Wang Yi's "Chapters and Sentences" still says: "Man, Ze ye." There are different women in words, working in concubines, good mouths and smiles, moth eyebrow Manze, different from everyone else. ”
The Eastern Han Dynasty Xu Shen's "Explanation of Words" said: "Ze, Guangrun also." The so-called "Ze", that is, the meaning of moisturizing and shiny. Since the eyes of a beautiful woman are like this, the hair is like this, and the eyebrows are like this, then it should be true to say that her skin is also like this.
The skin is moist and shiny, in other words, delicate and smooth, which is generally the beauty of softness.
From the Southern Dynasty to the Fifth Tang Dynasty, the poems wrote beautiful women, often using the word "Man face", and also wrote "slow face". For example:
Liang Wujun's poem "Little Hanging Hand" says: "The dancers come out of Western Qin, and the shadow dances Yangchun... Moth eyebrows and man face, see this empty sad person. ”
In addition, Liu Xiaoqi's poem "Watching prostitutes with the King of Wuling" says: "Yan Ji plays a wonderful dance, and Zheng Nu fa Qing song." Shame back out of Man's face, send the moth. "Man face", don't make it "slow face".
Moreover, Liu Zun's poem "Prosperous Response" said: "Poor Zhou Xiaotong, smile and pick up the orchid bush." Fresh skin is better than pink, slow face like peach. (According to this, the poem is written as "child prostitute", although not a beautiful woman, but of a slightly similar nature.) ）
Northern Qi Liu Di's "Qing Ge Fa" poem said: "The face of Tongman in the fan, the yangchun in the song." Long should be a fan of the guest, He Wei liang dust. ”
Northern Zhou Yu believed in the "Spring Poems of King Fenghe zhao": "The city is near the Golden Valley Garden, and the phoenix pond in the garden." Tune the song, the long shirt teaches the dancers. To people long man face, from thin skin. ”
Tang Cen Shan's "Tian Lingjun Beauty Dance Like a Lotus Flower Northern Song" said: "The beauty dance is like a lotus flower swirling, and the world should not see it when it has eyes... The slow face is delicate and delicate, and the flowers are light and green. ”
The poem "Liang Yuan Song Sent to the King of Henan to Say the Judge" says: "The king did not see the Liang XiaoWang repairing the bamboo garden, and the hidden momentum of the decadent wall still existed." Jiao'e man's face is grassy, and the curtain is empty of bamboo roots. ”
In addition, Liu Fangping's "Wuqi Qu" poem two of the two poems are one of them: "Moth eyebrow Man face fell into the city, and the ring moved Pei Xin acquaintance." ”
In addition, Yuan Shu's "Thirty Rhymes of Huizhen Poems" said: "The time of staying is limited, and it is difficult to end the rope." The slow face is sad, and the words are sincere. ”
In addition, Bai Juyi's poem "Reminiscing about the Old Travels to Send Liu Suzhou" reads: "Changzhou Garden green willow ten thousand trees, Qi Yun Lou spring wine a cup." The gate was small and the flag was raised, and the Gaoqiao Xi was in trouble with the boat. Xiu Moth was drunk under the slow face lamp, and the rushed orchestra was urged on the head. ”
Nan Tang Li Yu's "Bodhisattva Man" (Penglai Courtyard Closed Roof Woman) words: "Sneaking beads to move, I am shocked to realize the dream of Mandarin Ducks." Slow face smiling, looking at each other infinitely. ”
Jingnan Sun Guangxian's "Backyard Flowers" (Jingyang Zhong Dong Gong Yingzhuan) said: "Late to the high pavilion, bead curtains rolled, see a thousand pieces of incense." Repair the moth slow face to accompany the carving, the backyard new feast. ”
In the above examples, the so-called "man face" or "slow face" seems to refer to the face of moist and feminine, which can be used as a reference to "man muscle" or "slow muscle". It can also be seen that the words "Man" and "slow" can be used in some specific contexts.
