Yun, I think, is the cutest woman in Chinese literature. This is a sentence written by Mr. Lin Yutang in the preface to the Chinese-English version when he translated the Six Records of Fusheng. The "Yun" here is the wife of Shen Fu, the author of the "Six Records of Floating Life", Yunniang.
Every time you read "Six Memories of Floating Life", you can't help but sigh: Yunniang has lived and loved so truly and interestingly, although after more than 200 years of precipitation, she still shines with brilliant light and warms the hearts of the world.
Shen Fu's life, did not love the name of merit, only loved Yunniang, not only engraved the seal of "may the life be a husband and wife", but also said to Yunniang, "In the next life, Qing will be a man, and I will be subordinate to the woman." They do not cling to power, but only wish to travel through the landscape together, watch flowers and month by month, appreciate paintings and poetry, and pursue a leisurely and free life. This is not exactly the life partner we need most in our hearts, the most envied fairy life!
In Shen Fu's eyes, Yunniang is a very interesting wife and a lively right-hand man. Because of Yunniang, Shen Fu's life is full of liveliness and fun, and for future generations, Yunniang in the book is like the moon in the sky, exuding a quiet expectation and imagination, who can not love?
"Full of fresh clothes, only Yunniang is dressed quietly and elegantly, wearing only a new pair of shoes, she has a long neck and shoulders, thin and not exposed, her eyebrows are bent, gu pan shenfei, only two teeth are slightly exposed." It's not a good look, but the delicate look is fascinating. Shen Fu fell for it when he first saw Yunniang, not her outstanding appearance, but her demeanor. It can be seen that the beauty of Yunniang is not something that can be read with her eyes, and her beauty is emitted from the inside out, and it needs to be careful and affectionate. Otherwise, Lu Xun, who has always been serious, would not have commented on Yunniang in this way: "Although she is not Xi Shi's face and her front teeth are slightly exposed, I think it is the first beauty in China." ”
The beauty of Yunniang, the beauty is in elegance. When the lotus flowers first bloom in summer, they have buds in the evening and open in the morning, and Yunniang will use a small yarn bag to pack a little tea leaves, put them in the heart of the flower, take them out the next morning, and brew them with boiling rainwater, the fragrance is particularly wonderful; In winter, Yunniang put the agarwood and quick incense into the pot to steam thoroughly, set up a copper wire rack on the stove, put the incense on it, an inch away from the fire, slowly baking, such an aroma, there is a long charm, and there is no smoke; When arranging flowers in her spare time, Yunniang found mantises, butterflies, cicadas and other insects, tied their necks with a thin silk thread and tied them between the flowers and grasses, and then sorted out their feet and feet, or hugged on the flower stems, or stepped on the leaves, and no one who saw them praised them; When feasting on friends, Yunniang placed six white porcelain deep plates in a plum blossom box, fixed with gray paint, made into a plum blossom shaped lunch box, and then loaded with six colored small dishes, placed on the desk to Shen Fu and friends with wine, an ordinary home-cooked dish, under the exquisite makeup of the plum blossom box, both delicious and pleasing to the eye.
Brew lotus tea, wine smoked jasmine, ashram incense burning, insect catching flower arrangement, plum blossom lunch box... These are all red dust and fireworks, all are deep love for life, so elegant not only soothing, but also desirable.
The beauty of Yunniang, the beauty is funny. Yunniang likes to eat curd milk and shrimp and rice brine melon, but these two foods just happen to be shen fu's most annoying; Shen Fu likes to eat garlic, and this is what Yunniang hates the most. How can this be done? Therefore, Yunniang proposed to eat a little food of the other with their noses pinched. After Shen Fu tasted the curd milk, he jokingly said, "You are framing me as a dog, right?" Unexpectedly, Yunniang said more playfully: "I have been a dog for a long time, and I have also tasted it." Unexpectedly, since then, they have become accustomed to eating each other's favorite foods with each other.
Shen Fu often goes out, and when he returns home, he will tell Yunniang about interesting things outside. Unfortunately, Yunniang is not a boy, she can only stay in the deep boudoir, the door does not go out of the second door, and there is no chance to see the bustle outside. Therefore, Yunniang had a bold idea - put on Shen Fu's clothes, put on Shen Fu's hat, learn a man's walking posture and bow his hand, and even dressed as a man and followed Shen Fu out to find interesting things.
The beauty of Yunniang, the beauty is in the interest. Yunniang has been intelligent and talented since she was a child, and when she first learned to speak, she listened to the "Pipa Line" once, she could recite it, and then she recognized it word by word and learned to read. After the death of her father, she used skillful embroidery and sewing skills to provide for the life of a family of three, and for her brother to go to school, so the family situation, she naturally did not go to school, but she was diligent and studious in her embroidery leisure time, and gradually knew how to write poetry and lyrics, and wrote such a good sentence as "autumn invades the shadow of the person thin, frost dyes chrysanthemum fat". Even after marriage, she was busy sneaking around reading "The Tale of the West Chamber" until she forgot to eat, and also put forward such a wonderful debate as "Du Fu's poetry is refined and refined, and Li Bai's poetry is dashing and falling".
Yunniang has little interest in ring jewelry. When Shen Fu's younger brother became a parent, his sister-in-law even lacked pearls and flowers, and Yunniang generously gave the pearls she received when she became a relative to her sister-in-law. She gave away precious items such as pearls and flowers, but regarded rotten books, broken scrolls, and broken paintings as treasures, often glued into sheets, repaired and classified, and bound into books, which was called "discarded and rewarded".
The beauty of Yunniang, the beauty is in the sex. It is precisely because of such interest that Yunniang will always stand behind her husband in the poorest moments to support him and help him. At that time, Shen Fu, who could only make a little money by writing and engraving chapters, liked to drink and party with friends. In addition to quietly pulling out the wine, Yunniang also came up with a lot of frugal ways to maintain their daily expenses. Even if she is homeless, poor and displaced, she can maintain an optimistic attitude, never give up, and take care of her life like a decent and full of fun.
Yunniang's love interest not only filled herself, but also brought beauty and happiness to every corner of their lives, passing on and infecting Shen Fu and everyone around him.
Zhang Ailing once said: "When I met you, I became very low and low, all the way down to the dust, but my heart was joyful, and a flower blossomed there." Chen Yun is desperate for Shen Fu, he loves with his life, and he is low into the dust, but it is regrettable that this love that is low into the dust has not blossomed a flower. "Yunniang loves sincerely, loves ordinary, loves humble, but it is enough to be touching. Because in her body embodies a tenacious spirit, this spirit is like an inexhaustible mountain green grass, no matter how others slander her, how life destroys her, she still maintains the frankness of making people feel like a spring breeze.
A person's life can be ordinary, but it must be beautiful and happy. Yunniang's life, words and deeds are idyllic and indisputable, elegant and sensual in the world, and life is full of fun... But the most precious place is beauty and happiness, and this beauty and happiness are without regrets. Even if you are displaced, clothed and vegetableed, and plagued by diseases, you can find pleasure in the flower moon poetry wine room, so that a humble little life can live every day beautifully and happily, is this not the most beautiful in the world? This beauty, like the beautiful brilliance of the moon, has made countless contemporaries lose their color and men moved by it...
Closing the book, I will regret the death of Yunniang, but at the same time I will sigh that she lived a beautiful, happy, wonderful life. In the book, Yunniang, the moon in the sky, the beauty and happiness that emanate from the inside to the outside, quietly turned into a piece of warm jade that will not be blown cold by the cold wind in the heart.
