Ask Liu 19 Author: Bai Juyi (Tang) Green Ant New Brew Wine, Red Clay Small Stove. In the winter, the whole world is dark, and the outside is either gray mountains or white snow. What is the focus on in winter? Indoor survival. No matter how cold it is outside, it is spring inside. How to create a sense of spring in the house? Green ant green, what kind of wine is green? Cloudy wine, mash. It's a little stronger than the current mash, but it's not filtered, and the wine is sweet and unfiltered. It has a layer of foam on it, which emits a yellowish-green color, so it is called a green ant. "Green Ant New Brew Wine", a "green" word, there is spring in the house. Wine alone is not enough, what people need most in winter is fire, and fire is also spring. Because of what? "Red clay small stove", that stove is red clay plate, emitting red, red is also spring, the flame is still red, red is still pure color? There are green ants, there is red mud, it is already spring. At this time, what happens to people? The hearts of people are alive. So Bai Juyi asked Liu Shijiu, and asked himself, an old neighbor, "If you want snow in the evening, do you want to drink a cup?" Seeing that the sky is about to snow, I have wine and fire here, do you want to come and drink a cup?
What do you mean? We're old people. Bai Juyi invited someone to drink at this time, should he consider the issue of rank? Saying that I am a governor at the state and county level, he must not be at the county and department level. Is there such a hindrance? No. Or I can write "Song of Long Hatred", can he write a decent quatrain? Is there such an obstacle? No. What do you want at this time? An old man of the same age as himself, about the same leisure, who lives closely? "If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a cup of it?" It's called winter wine. Wine is winter, life is the same, what do people rely on when they enter old age? The outside world has nothing to do with you, what do you rely on? If the fire in the heart is still warm, then this person has vitality and the joy of living. So what is warm wine to drink in winter. From fast wine to good wine, to sad wine, and then to return to warm wine, this is also a cycle.
The four seasons of the flower are the reaction of people when they look at nature. The four seasons of wine are people's reactions to their hearts. Do people have their own four seasons? Not to mention workers, peasants, painters, and poets. Do ordinary people have their own seasons? Yes. Look at the four seasons of people. We made it into a TV series, note that this series is played like this, the first act is called spring, and we use another "Lotus Picking Song", Bai Juyi's "Lotus Picking Song": Lotus Picking Song Author: Bai Juyi (Tang) Water chestnut leaves lingering lotus wind, lotus deep boat pass. Feng Lang bowed his head and smiled, and Biyu scratched his head and fell into the water. What does it feel like? "Rhombine Lingering Wave" Rhizome is attached to the surface of the water, so the haunting wave goes with the waves. What does the lotus leaf look like? See that they are all aquatic plants, and you have to write a sense of hierarchy. One low and one high, reflected in the person's name. Do you know who the first girl to appear in the Dream of Red Mansions was? When she was a young lady in the Zhen family, her name was Zhen Yinglian, and she was a lotus flower. Later, when she was a girl for the Xue family and a concubine for Xue Pan, what did her name change to? She is a rhombus clinging to the surface of the water. Seeing that the decline in status is reflected in the name. "Water chestnut lingering waves". There are layers in the pond. There must be leaves and flowers. The lotus is deep in the boat pass. What is pass? Is it passed? No, it is traffic. The meaning of traffic is staggered and staggered. In the depths of the lotus flower, two small boats are staggered. See, there are flowers and people in the pond. And not one person, at least two people. Because the boat passes. Who was in the boat? Coincidentally, there was a young girl in one boat, and a handsome young man in the other. It was obvious that this little girl had been in love with this young man for a long time, but she hadn't spoken much, and at this time she suddenly bumped into him, what was his natural reaction? I'm happy, but I'm too embarrassed to say more. But as soon as he lowered his head, an accident happened. What kind of accident?"Jasper scratched her head and fell into the water", and the hairpin on her head fell into the water. Do you think this is spring? There are young friends here, and older friends know that this is the spring of life. The feeling of being ashamed to speak, an adolescent teenager. Series. And then go down, "Jasper scratches his head and falls into the water", how about the young man? The young man must have a fierce man to plunge down and pick it up. After picking it up, didn't the little girl say thank you? After saying thank you, didn't she say a word or two, "Where do you live?" and then what about it? After the proposal, it was a recent test to go to Zhu Qingyu of the Water Department of Zhang [Tang Dynasty] The cave room stopped the red candle last night, and waited to pay homage to his aunt in front of Xiaotang. Makeup asked her husband in a low voice, and the thrush was not deep or shallow. Isn't it the summer of life? The season of blooming, from the little girl with a budding spring heart to a bride with affection. What is called "the cave room stopped the red candle last night". Ladies and gentlemen, as soon as I see a young man, he is a teacher, and let him stand there and stop, not stop, not extinguish the red candle, but place it here, this is called "stop the red candle." On the night of the cave room, the red candles burned all night. The next morning, I had to meet my aunt and my parents-in-law. The bride really wanted to make a good impression on her parents-in-law, so she desperately put on makeup and makeup there, but she was still not confident in making it around. What should I do at this time?" asked the husband in a low voice, and the thrush was not deep or shallow. "Honey, can you help me see if my eyebrows are drawn deep or shallow? When you don't get in? You think, how can a young man know if his eyebrows are in time or not? But the young man knows the family style, my mother is very conservative, she doesn't like to draw her eyebrows too thickly, or my mother is more avant-garde than you, you draw a little thicker. The young man has a say in the family style, that's the first point. What else is it? Don't ask who he asks? At this time, the bride didn't know anyone in the family, and this young man's husband was his only ally, so this sentence still had a coquettish meaning. My dear, do you think I look good, is it good-looking, is it good-looking? Is it right? So when you give advice, you have to be considerate, not what is thick or light, you have to say: It's really good, you can paint beautifully, you don't paint beautiful, right? The love of youth, the summer of life. Of course, friends know that this is actually a poem for the imperial examination, this is not a real marriage poem on the night of the cave room, but the description of this newlywed is so beautiful, we regard it as the second act of the summer of life in the TV series. The autumn of life. The little girl fell in love with the young man and married him smoothly and successfully. But after getting married, I encountered a seven-year itch. By the time he was forty years old, he was no longer a young man, and he was famous, and then his skin began to tighten, and he felt himself itching. We use the story of Zhao Mengfu, a scholar from the Yuan Dynasty, and his wife, Guan Sheng. When Zhao Mengfu was in his forties, and when he was in his early forties, he didn't know what to do, so he was so complacent that he itched. You see he wrote a limerick poem to the pipe student: "I am a bachelor, you are a wife, don't you hear that Bachelor Wang has peach leaves and peach roots, and Bachelor Su has morning clouds and dusk clouds." I will marry a few more Wu Ji Yue daughters, you are forty years old, just occupy Yutang Chun. "Is he itchy? I became a scholar, and you are also a noble wife, and you have become a lady in my strength. Then let me tell you, back then, Wang Xian's Wang Bachelor had peach leaves and peach roots sisters by his side. Speaking closer, Su Dongpo and Master Su also have Chaoyun and Duyun around them. I look up to them, even if I marry a few more Wu Jiyue girls, it's not too much, you are over forty years old, why do you just occupy Yutangchun? Why don't you allow me to take a concubine? What do you mean? I argue with you, I have this qualification, I am itchy, I need to let myself relax. Is this the autumn of life? At the age of forty, I encountered a marriage crisis, let's see how Mrs. Guan coped. Mrs. Guan also replied with a poem, and she replied: You and I are nong, and there are many feelings, and there are many feelings, and they are as hot as fire; twist a piece of clay into you, mold a me, break the two of us together, and mix it with water; twist a you, and then mold a me. I have you in the mud, you have me in the mud; I am born with you, and I die in the same coffin. Young people, don't look at it yet, you haven't reached this stage of life, at least you can divide it into levels. There are three levels of this poem. Where is the first level? You and I are very affectionate. If you want to ask for a concubine, I'll talk to you about your feelings first. Isn't it good that the two of us have lived for so many years? You love me, I love you, and we are very affectionate to each other. "Love is hot in many places", we used to live such a beautiful life. What does that mean? The first level, moving people with emotion, the other party is itchy, you can't hit him hard at this time, it hurts, it hurts and itchy, and this day is even more uncomfortable, right? First move people with emotion, aren't we good? Moving people with emotion is not everything, and then you have to convince people with reason. The second level is "twist a piece of clay into you, shape a me, break the two of us together, mix it with water, twist a you, and mold another me, I have you in the mud, you have me in the mud;" What does it mean? Talking about the change of marriage to two people, the two of us used to be two independent individuals, but marriage broke everything, we have our own home, and we have nine children. In this kind of molding, everyone seems to be reborn, as if the mud has been broken, mixed with water, and reshaped. So what is the result of living together for so many years? "I have you in the mud, and you have me in the mud." "Can you easily separate these two men again now? No. The joint property is here. Your Zhao family's manor has always been managed by me, where are the children, nine children, which one is yours and which one is mine? If you break with me now, then we may both have a hard time. Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. The third level: determination. After talking about the feelings, after the reasoning, I am showing my determination. I was born with you and died in the same coffin. We're going to have to mess around like this for the rest of our lives. We are a set of bedding when we are alive, and we are a coffin when we are dead. Is there a third person? Fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh? No. Expressed strong determination. After Zhao Mengfu heard this poem, what did he say? gave up the illusions of Chaoyun, Dusk Cloud, Peach Leaf, and Peach Root, and grew old with Mrs. Guan. Mid-life crisis. In the last scene, I chose the "Winter Song" of a Southern Dynasty folk song "Song of Four O'clock at Midnight". Fruit to bear the golden orchid, but look at the pine forest. The frost does not fall to the ground, and the cold has no different heart. It's the same with life. "Fruitful, golden orchid". What is Jin Lan? We all think that two young men can marry Jin Lan and two little girls can marry Jin Lan and worship the target. In fact, in ancient times, couples could also marry Jinlan. How can we form a friendship with Jinlan? Then you can see it by looking at pine and cypress. What are the characteristics of pines and cypresses? A pair of teenagers have gone through the initial love and marriage, seven or eight years of chaotic years, and finally "the cold year has no different heart", in fact, has it returned to the realm of "green ant heart wine, red clay small stove"? Elderly men, elderly women, and the elderly have finally returned to a more natural and warm situation. We're done with this four seasons series. What do we want to say? The four seasons are in reincarnation in this way, a person grows up, and then goes through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and the natural life ends, and a new generation of life is born. Then go through the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The season is over like this, and it will come again next spring. The same is true for a culture. So where is the key problem? Where is the key point in the reincarnation? I think Mr. Zong Baihua's summary is particularly good, he is a summary of the literature of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, he said that the true meaning of literature lies in "discovering nature outward, and discovering one's own deep affection inward." "I hope that we can all perceive the changes in the natural world and protect the deep affection. Okay, thanks.
