Impermanence (3)
The Chinese literati are the most able to experience the sorrow of impermanence.
The Lotus Sutra says:
"The laws are always the phase of silence. Spring solstice flowers bloom, orioles on willows. ”
The Chinese literati said:
"Advise the king not to cherish the golden cloth, advise the king to cherish the youth. The flowers can be folded straight and must be folded, and there is no need to fold branches without flowers. ”
Because:
"This year's flowers are as good as last year, and last year's people are old this year. The first person is not as good as the flower, but it is a pity that the flower is not swept. ”
So are the flowers, and so are the willows:
"Jiang Fengfei and the grass are all together, and the six dynasties are like dreaming birds crying. Ruthless is the most Taicheng Liu, still smoking ten miles of embankment. ”
"Emperor Zhuo's palace is on the waterfront, and several pearls and willows are not victorious. In the evening, the wind rose like snow, and flew into the palace wall without seeing anyone. ”
And the month? It is even more eternally hanging high in the blue sky as scheduled, and the sorrow and death of the cold eyes of the nether world are on the wall:
"The grass covers the singing luan, and the cloud trees are deep and cold. The bright moon came and went, and no one relied on the jade railing. ”
"Dushang Jianglou thought quietly, and the moonlight was like water and water. Where are the people who come to play with the moon? The scenery is vaguely like last year. ”
Compared with the year-round new flowers and trees and the immortal sun, moon and stars, all the life and death of human beings are in a sad state in the eyes of sensitive people. Besides, are flowers, trees, sun, moon, and stars really immortal?
In human thought, unfortunately there is the illusion of "forever", so it adds endless emotion to life, what person has not ever raised the feeling of "the past is unbearable to look back" about certain things?
In fact, the impermanence of life itself is an ordinary truth, "back to the yellow to green in the world, and then the bride becomes a mother-in-law." These backhauls and changes, because there are too many, ordinary people do not pay attention everywhere, always scared, but if they encounter any big changes, once they sound, they do not pierce people's hearts deeply.
"What is life like a song about wine? For example, morning dew is a lot of hardship. ”
This concept has taken root in the minds of many people.
In Jin Yong's writing, it shows a lot of helplessness and a lot of sadness. What Cheng Ying said to Lu Wushuang was just a self-comfort.
At that time, Lu Wushuang was already in love with Yang Guo, and Yang Guo's "daughter-in-law" made him weave beautiful dreams. Who knew that Yang Guo actually said goodbye and went to the Desperate Valley to find Xiaolongnu, Lu Wushuang couldn't help but feel a big pain in his heart.
Cheng Ying was also extremely uncomfortable in his heart, he and Lu Wushuang had the same "heart disease", so although he comforted Lu Wushuang in his mouth: "Third sister, you see that this white cloud gathers and scatters, scatters and gathers, life is clutched, and it is also the same, why should you be troubled?" But I couldn't help but shed tears.
An unknown person once said something that seemed poetic and not poetic:
Life is like a ride,
Sometimes early in the morning,
Sometimes up and down late,
Sometimes late in the morning,
Sometimes it's up and down sooner or later.
Get on the bus and fight for seats,
They got out of the car and went home.
Keep an eye on your ticket in the carriage,
When he got off the bus, he returned the original ticket.
It is quite appropriate to use it as a metaphor for the ending of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu.
According to the orthodox view, although the siege of Xiangyang was temporarily resolved, the flames of foreign aggression were far from being completely extinguished, and Yang Guo should join Guo Jing in holding Xiangyang until he was exhausted.
But Yang Guo did not do this, he really "returned the original ticket to him when he got off the bus". He didn't want anything, so Shi Shiran took Xiao Longnu and floated away, and disappeared.
Some people wonder, is this ending reasonable? Will there be a crisis when Yang Guo's hot life is combined with Xiaolongnu's such a void life? Xiao Longnu is only temporarily "going to mortal", and will eventually return to the realm of absolute tranquility, and even if Yang Guo follows, it is difficult for him to reach the realm of Xiao Longnu. That's when tragedy will ensue.
Perhaps Jin Yong also understands this truth, but he wants to write like this, and he wants to borrow Yang Guoyin's "cup of wine" to pour the "block" in his heart.
Think about which of his works didn't end in tragedy?
His novel officially wrote the word "void" in life.
In "Dragon Babu", he even borrowed the mouth of the virtual bamboo and said:
"The common people are like dust, and the emperor is like dust"
Then, compared with the lack of choice for Qiao Feng, Wei Xiaobao and others, Yang Guo could still be autonomous.
This is also the luckiest awakening in the life of "impermanence".
Whether Buddhist or Taoist, Jin Yong is first and foremost a human and serious person.
