▲ Stills from the movie "Wuxia", the family and the family are eating and chatting about home, and the years are quiet.
In the movie "Wuxia", the thirteenth lady's soul is under the cliff, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building. Ayu asked her husband, "If you were by the river that day and met another woman, would you stay the same way?" ”
Such a jade inexplicably reminds me of Jiao Huilan, a woman who was almost used as a gambling reward in the Qing Dynasty anonym novel "The Case of Liu Gong".
They are all duckweeds who were floating in that era, and they are also symbols of the beauty of the virtuousness written by writers and artists, and they must be special in the heart of Ayu in her anonymized killer husband, otherwise he would have stayed wherever he would have broken his arm.
▲ Stills from the movie "Wuxia", Ayu by the river, just like the rattan bracelet in her hand, tranquility, aura, nature, tired of killing Tang Long, how can he not be moved?
Suspicious director Chen Kexinding has also seen "Liu Gong's Case", so he let Ayu wear a silver wind rattan bracelet, just like Jiao Huilan of "on the jade wrist, two rattan bracelets are bright and bright, and the pointed ten-fingered spring onion" is "although the dress is not expensive, it is natural, gentle and elegant and moving".
If you look at the reflection of me, across the mountains and rivers, the vine bracelet with the atmosphere of grass and wood is simply a symbol of people like Jiao Huilan and Ayu.
▲ Stills from the movie "Wuxia", an ordinary morning, an ordinary meal. This is the quietness of a lifetime, and it is also the dream of a simple and pure person like Ayu.
Speaking of which, the rattan bracelet was not a particularly expensive ornament at that time, not like the Dongzhu shrimp whisker bracelet written earlier, but only seen in the palace noble house. Some scholars have examined that the price of rattan bracelets in Jiangnan cultural relics stores in the 1990s was only a fraction of the same process of silver bracelets - because of this, Jiao Huilan, who wears double rattan bracelets in her hands, will be called "not expensive to wear".
▲ Stills of the movie "Wuxia", no flashy, but steady in heart, such a day, there is a clear moon.
In addition to the "Liu Gong Case", the vine bracelet also appeared frequently in other novels and folk songs of the same era, and the Qing Dynasty Wei Xiuren wrote "Traces of the Flower Moon" in the twenty-eighth time:
Tongxiu drank tea, inadvertently showing the sleeves of the robe, but revealing a wind vine bracelet... Yi Zhu took over and said, "This is mine, I have a hard time finding a pair in Sichuan, you don't believe it, look at my one." ”
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there is a passage in the "Yue County Customs and Words" that "Shaoxing Anchang Town Does Drama Literary Allegro" with clouds: "Wind vine bracelet, white hand", pen and pen contrast, which shows the prosperity of the rattan bracelet in that year.
Guardian's autumn auction in 2019, there is a Qing Dynasty silver plum pattern wind vine bracelet from Gručiwski's old collection, much like the one on Ayu's hand, which is wrapped in silver next to the vine festival, and this silver piece hammers out a relief-shaped five-petal plum pattern with curly grass, and adds a carved pattern to the wind vine joint, which is simple and exquisite.
Such ingenious and ingenious things, everyone naturally loves them, so they change the silver inlay to the gold and treasure it in the middle. In Yang Zhishui's "Ancient Chinese Gold and Silver Jewelry", in the "奁目" of a Manchu woman's makeup book, the gold-encrusted rattan bracelet is juxtaposed with pearls, jade and other ornaments:
Pearl crown is the best, pearl hairpin head is in pairs, pearl treasure ball is branched, pearl treasure flower is flowered, pearl face hairpin is paired, pearl edge flower is paired, pearl jade is surrounded, pearl treasure phoenix is paired, pearl jade top is paired, gold top hairpin is branched, gold flat square is paired, gold ruyi is branched, gold bento is branched, red gold ear is doubled, golden ear is doubled, jade flat square branch, foreign bracelet is doubled, gold inlaid vine bracelet is paired, red gold note is paired, gold ring is sung in pairs, gold ring is sung in pairs, pearl flower sign is branched, golden flower sign is three pairs, jade ring is paired.
Immediately after, another list of Han women's dowry books - "Baifu Qianxiang General Record" can be confirmed by each other:
A pair of red gold nushi bracelets, a pair of red gold wind rattan bracelets, a pair of red gold tortoiseshell bracelets, a pair of red gold yuan treasure hairpins, a pair of red gold lotus signs, a red gold ear digging branch, a pair of red gold Jiqing earrings, a pair of red gold teeth picked, and two pairs of red gold rings.
▲ The rattan bracelet of Zhang Ailing, a talented woman of the Republic of China, is similar to the rattan bracelet in the Qing Dynasty female figure. When Zhang Ailing left Shanghai for Hong Kong, the only gold jewelry she wore was a gold rattan bracelet, which she wore when she was five or six years old, and took it with the family photo album, and the person who was similar to the lady in the picture should be her other one, which shows how much she prefers the rattan bracelet.
Come to think of it, the charm of this thing is not in the quality of gold and silver, but in the shape of the half-vine bezel.
In the Qing Dynasty, the literati were known for their "gold-weary" complex, such as Cao Xueqin's pro-"wooden stone former alliance" and disliked "golden and jade good relationship", and between the words, although "stone" and "jade" belonged to the same finger (baoyu), the wind and bone were completely different in comparison.
Yunniang in the "Six Records of Fusheng" also has this mentality, and in the "Boudoir Memories", Shen Sanbai once used a heavy note to give treasure to Yunniang:
Yu Qi's cousin, Mr. Wang Xuzhou's granddaughter also, occasionally lacks pearl flowers when urging makeup, Yun out of his Na Cai recipient presents my mother, concubine next to pity, Yun Ri: "Whoever is a woman is already pure yin, and the pearl is the essence of pure yin, used as jewelry, yang qi is full of grams, how noble?"
Even the concubines pity the gold, silver and pearls, Yunniang did not care at all, but cherished the fragments of old books that people did not weigh, which can be described as a complete scribe's mentality:
(Yun) and in the broken book remnants of the painting is extremely cherished, Yun in the broken volume, occasionally obtain a piece of paper considerable, such as a treasure, the old neighbor Feng Fei every time the messy volume to sell it.
▲ Stills from the movie "Wuxia", the vine bracelet of grass and wood, although it is a silver bag setting, it has no gold and silver pearl jade atmosphere.
Looking at the wind vine bracelet from this angle, you can see its quiet atmosphere:
Wind vine is a grass and wood genus, also known as small leaf wind rope, small wood lotus, often climbing in the mountain trunk, stream side rock or roof wall, slow growth and hard texture, think of it, it is indeed in line with the literati still "sexual tough and far rich" wind bone.
Moreover, its material is also a good medicine. In the "Materia Medica Renewal", its medicinal value was remembered: "Meridians, and blood veins, wide in the middle of the rational qi, wet and removing wind, rationalizing waist and athlete's foot, curing hernias, and placing the fetus..."
------------------------------------------------------
Such objects, matched with gold and silver, coupled with exquisite carving, the pattern or take the plum bamboo ya elephant, or take the peach bat auspicious meaning, or take the Buddha's path protection, it emphasizes its intention, affection and spiritual symbolism, and the sense of eminence is covered.
As a result, the aesthetic significance of the rattan bracelet is closer to the hermit's mountain family offering, the Song people's life entertainment, and the so-called spiritual value is more important than the commercial value.
▲ The Qing Dynasty double-stranded wind vine bracelet in "Makeup Box Relics" The silver pipe is carved with plum blossoms and bat patterns, and elegance and blessing coexist.
The original name of "Wuxia" is "Accomplice", and its deep meaning is that "all sentient beings are guilty, you and I are all complicit" - the reason why Director Chen Kexin is clever is that he makes Ayu dressed in a pure cloth but only wears a delicate and simple style of wind vine bracelet.
It is a hint that the wise one is as wise as Ayu, and the heart is like a mirror to what is really important in the silent years. Therefore, she is also her husband's "co-conspirator".
Compared with the prosperous world full of crushing and even killing, she relied on simple mountain villages and beautiful mountains and clean water, and lived an innocent life with her loved ones. And that gentle and simple rattan bracelet is the materialization of the quality of his heart's "innate, gentle and elegant touching".
God knows, in people's pure and thick ideals of life, a woman like Ayu, and this bracelet full of grass and wood, have been gentle for many years...
▲ Stills of the movie "Wuxia" Director Chen's delicacy echoes the details revealed in Ayu's dirty nails and rattan bracelets. The hand of the fiery life, the down-to-earth life, the contact with all things in the land, is the hand of the laborer, and the hand of the creator of life. Echoing the natural qi of the rattan bracelet, it is the deep spirituality of the true nature of life...
