【Origin】
Folk songs should be circulating, not popular.
Folk songs, that is, folk songs.
What is passed down, the ancestral era of word of mouth, written is the life history of a generation.
What is popular, before the traffic drama sings and jumps on the stage, the capital giant sits firmly behind the scenes, and the lyrics are all for money.
I can understand why the phrase "to circulate, not to be popular" appeared.
A song can be passed down because it speaks the voice of the people and represents the interests of the people.
Folk songs have a long history in our country, the national style of the "Book of Poetry" is counted as folk songs, and Han Le Fu is also counted as folk songs; after the Qin and Han Dynasties, folk songs are easily not on the elegant hall, and after the Song Dynasty, the civic culture prevails, and folk songs become a popular trend.
Especially in the Yuan Dynasty, folk songs have been handed down a lot. Because the Yuan Dynasty was ruled by nomadic peoples, the imperial examination system was abolished, and the literati who had studied the sages were now beaten down to the people and shared the suffering with the general public.
They used to assist the talents of The Life of George, and in the Yuan Dynasty they had to sing for the people.
In the Yuan Dynasty, there were many folk songs with interesting minor tunes, most of which were first circulated in the folk and later polished by the pen of the literati.
For example, this song that I want to enjoy with you today is "Wuye'er Mocking The Greedy Man".
【Psalms】
Wu Ye'er, mocking the greedy man
Anon. [Yuan Dynasty]
A rice needle is worn to eat, a penny is cut and truncated, but the opening is ignorant of the gods.
Look at children like mud swallows, love money like blood flies.
In the dark of night, they save gold and silver, and they all make hunger painting cakes.
【Presence】
Yuan Dadu, the market in the city.
It was getting dark and the market was already bustling.
Coming and going, there are people who carry burdens and sell, there are idlers who sit on the street waiting for buyers, and more idle people who hang out with the current, watching where the bustle goes.
No, there was a street that suddenly became lively. It turned out that someone had picked up a burden of noodles to sell on the street, but they couldn't dodge it and bumped into a passerby.
Just look at the bag of flour sprinkled high in the air, with the wind on the ground, wrapped around the man who sold the noodles.
What is even more strange is that many idlers take off their coats and chase after the flour that has fallen to the ground on the street, and they are unable to do so for a while.
The official should ask, how much is a load worth, and it has already been stained with dust, so what are people doing to grab it?
Alas, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had always regarded the Han people as his dog, and every day he was in the depths of the water, and now that he has such a bargain, how can he not compete for the lead?
A poem "WuYe'er" is writing down the greedy appearance of the Yuan Dynasty.
【Recitation】
This one, after reading it, should feel out, full of folk song color. Because the yuanqu is originally a literary form that favors folk songs, and this song is a northern song, it lacks the elegance of the Jiangnan land, and adds a bold and straightforward, and the style of northern folk literature is unobstructed.
This song is also good-looking, one sentence for another rhetoric, one sentence to talk about a scene, first look at the first sentence.
Even a grain of rice must be pierced with a needle and eaten separately; a penny must be cut with scissors and divided into flowers.
Anyone who opens his mouth must have a clear conscience.
He does not believe in ghosts and gods, does not respect heaven and earth, and has only one thing in his heart: Brother Kong Fang.
This sentence is a portrayal of life scenes, obviously using exaggeration. Greedy people should not be able to do such deeds no matter what, but in these two sentences, the image of the greedy man has jumped on the paper. This is also like a folk song, straight to the theme, cheerful and straightforward.
The second sentence uses a metaphor, the first half of this sentence still looks like a good word, looking at the children like the swallows of the mud as hard work, want to fight for future generations to build a good foundation, a good future;
But with the addition of the second half of the sentence, this good word has changed its taste. Good for children, but better for money, like a fly rushing to drink blood, simply not letting go.
Here we will talk a little bit, and there are two interpretations of the child in the previous sentence. One is to think that the children are the swallows that hold the mud for him and should make money for him; the other is to work hard to save money for the children.
In fact, both statements make sense, and it is natural for his children to raise him; it is not true that he raises children, in short, they are just saving money for their own lives.
In the third sentence, the author stands up.
You people, what are you saving day and night for?
When the spring is red and old, and the flowers fall and people die, it is not life that does not bring death or bring it.
There are no pockets on the funeral clothes, dudes. You have accumulated most of your life's money, and in the end it is just a picture cake, which is not good for you except to look comfortable.
Some people may retort that saving money is useless, and you can buy whatever you want.
The question is, with the greed of this group of people, are they willing to indulge in indulgence and spend all the money, and there is a high probability that they will not. Their end is to be a scrooge for a lifetime, or to be left to their descendants after death, or to lose after one or two changes.
I think this last sentence is also very instructive for modern people.
Modern society puts too much pressure on people, and parents save a lifetime of money in order to pay a down payment for their children, and sometimes even three generations of grandchildren provide a house.
Fortunately, the concept of young people who have entered the society is also slowly changing, and they can see it openly. Many people will no longer ask their parents for money, and their first house is not so anxious.
Parents should also look at it a little, and the money they save should be left to themselves to enjoy their old age, "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.".
Beauty is the meaning of life, and poetry is the essence of "beauty".
I am the empty blue, the sky is empty, the green lotus is green, it is an ore and a Chinese medicine.
Share the beauty of Tang poetry every day.
