Different from the explicit and direct expression of modern men and women, people in ancient times usually used a more subtle method when expressing feelings and expressing love. They sometimes rely on art forms to express affection, a soulful minor tune or painting for the beloved is a symbol of love; and some literati and inkers like to write lovesickness into poetry, whether it is the first sight of love or mourning the dead, there is no shortage of popular sentences in the poems about love.
For example, the famous poem "Jiang Chengzi": "Ten years of life and death are vague, do not think, unforgettable..." Because of the thought of his deceased wife, the loneliness of the stomach turned into speechless choking; in the long river of history, there are countless beautiful and affectionate verses, and some literary wizards have created many interesting verses. There is such a poem, it is read down the line is the husband missing the wife, backward reading is the wife missing the husband. It can be called the first strange poem in ancient times.
Li Yu's "Two Loves"
This magical verse is called "Two Loves", and it came from the Song Dynasty poet Li Yu. Although this Li Yu is called a poet, his poem in history is not very big, and the most famous poem in his life may be this poem.
It is strange that this poem seems to be one poem, but it is actually two. The whole poem consists of 8 sentences and 56 words, read from the front to the back, which is a verse of the husband thinking of his wife; but if read from the back to the front, it is a verse of the wife missing her husband. Let's take a look at it.
"Two Loves": "Dry eyes look at the distant mountains and waters, how many hearts have you seen in the past?" The pot is empty and afraid to drink a glass of wine, and it is difficult to write a rhyme poem. The road is obstructed for a long time, and the news is late. Lonely lights at night keep silent for a long time, and the husband remembers his wife and father and son. The verses range from the lonely landscape and the boring drinking alone, to the single shadow, the fewer geese, and finally to the root cause of the low mood. Because "the husband remembers his wife and his father remembers his children", it turns out that he misses his wife and children at home, and the thoughts of a man who had to wander away alone are vividly expressed.
If you look at this poem in reverse, it becomes an interesting wife perspective: "The child remembers the father and the wife remember the husband, and the lonely long vigil lamp is lonely." Late return to send geese no news, long time away from people blocking the way. Poetry rhymes and become difficult to write, and the wine glass is afraid of empty pots. Confidants have seen each other several times, and the water across the mountain looks at the eyes dry. ”
Compared with her husband, this wife is much simpler and more direct, and the opening paragraph directly expresses the heart of "the child remembers the father and the wife remembers the husband", and then slowly talks about the pain of lovesickness, and tells it, so that the reader is touched by her delicate feelings after reading it.
Interesting palindromic poems
In fact, this method of writing poetry has a proper noun called palindromic poetry. Because the text in it can be recycled, it was given this name. Because when recycling, you need to pay attention to considering different flat relationships because of text changes.
Therefore, writing palindromic poetry is also a test for the poet's own literary literacy and ability to control words. Historically, there are many palindromic poems that have a wide range of circulation and are relatively famous, which also have a lot to do with the difficulty of its own creation.
Palindromic poetry, also known as loop poetry, first came from palindromic pairs, that is, couplets in palindromic format, and was later slowly quoted into verses. The original palindromic poems are said to have been "Poems on the Plate" by Su Boyu's wife, and this poem is presented in the form of a similar picture.
A word in the middle, surrounded by oblique text arrangement, when reading with the middle as the starting point, reading to the edge of a sentence, because the shape is perfect, so the name of the disk. The poem is one hundred and sixty-eight words, contains forty-nine sentences, and twenty-seven rhymes. Not only is the structure exquisite, but also the artistic conception is far-reaching and sincere.
When it was passed down to later generations, in order to facilitate the dissemination of records, palindromic poetry gradually became several continuous words, and for those who were not knowledgeable, they may feel confused at first sight. For example, in the four seasons poem of the talented woman at the end of the Ming Dynasty, one of them is like this: "The warbler cries on the shore and the willow makes the spring sunny night and the moon is bright." Just nine words, not only need to become a seven-word sentence, but also chant the spring scenery, really eye-opening: "Warbler shore willow make spring clear, willow lane spring sunny night moon." Bright moon night sunny spring to get willows, sunny spring to make willow shore crying warblers. ”
Love poems from history
Although palindromic poetry is amazing, but when it comes to love poetry, most of them are more well-known in ordinary poetry, and for a famous poet, if there is no more famous love poem in his work, it has to be said that it is a pity; on the contrary, some poets may end up in their lives, and only one love poem with a swinging intestine circulates in the world. However, when people quote or recite this poem in later generations, they will not only think of this author, but also feel his deep affection a thousand years later.
When it comes to love poems, we have to mention a character, who is the Yuan Shu of the Tang Dynasty. He was a famous literary scholar of the Tang Dynasty, who not only admired the poetry of Lefu, but also the author of the "Biography of Yingying". This legendary story is also the first version of the later famous "West Chamber".
It can be seen that the author is a master who understands women's minds in the creation of love stories. There are also many love poems he has created in his lifetime, and the most well-known to the majority of modern men and women is the poem "Leaving Thoughts": "Once the sea was shipwrecked as water, except for Wushan Mountain is not a cloud." Take the second flower bush lazy review, half edge monasticism half edge jun. ”
The first two sentences of the poem successfully create the image of a dedicated and loyal lover, after seeing the water of the sea and the clouds of Wushan, the other scenery can no longer be seen. The last two sentences continue to progress on the basis of the original, and there are only two reasons for no longer lingering in the flowers, one is because of self-cultivation, and the other is because of deep affection and unforgettable.
Just by reading this poem, you may think that this Yuan Shu can be regarded as the first infatuated man in ancient and modern times! But in fact, he has been a man of life and has read countless women, and this poem that has touched countless women in ancient and modern times is probably only one of the tools he used to make a girl.
epilogue
Looking at ancient love poems, people may feel this way. Most of them are based on sadness and loneliness, and rarely see love poems of joy and joy. Is this really the case? Of course, there are love poems with happy tones, but most of the happy love poems are not widely circulated, and the feelings contained are not as profound as the sad love poems, so naturally they are not famous. But no matter what kind of emotions it contains, as long as it can express people's true feelings, it is a good love poem.
