Let us use the red dust as a companion to live in a dashing sprinkle, and the horses gallop to share the prosperity of the world...
Red dust rolls, infatuation, deep affection, gathering and dispersing sometimes...
Wait, why red dust? Why not yellow dust, blue dust rolling?
The word red dust may have first come from the "Xidu Fu" written by Ban Gu in the Han Dynasty: "Khotanese overflows with guo, hundreds of dust flows by the side, red dust is four, and smoke clouds are connected." ”
It is to the effect that "the dust (red dust) raised by the bustling crowds of people closes together from all directions and fills the whole city, and the dust and smoke clouds are connected." ”
The "red dust" of this section occurs at the time of "the opening of the nine cities and the separation of goods", which is a busy scene at sunrise.
Then the original meaning of red dust refers to the dust raised after the dirt road, just at this time the sunlight is red, and the flying dust is also covered with a layer of red, so "red dust" got its name.
The word "red dust" was popular as soon as it appeared, either because of its romance or its beauty, and began to be used by many literati in their poems.
as:
【Sunrise Red Dust】
Flying to see the light of the light, the heavy door is opened. Red dust and green hubs, ochre sweat dye dragon medium. (Zhang Zheng saw "The Door Has a Carriage and Horse Passenger Line")
Only after the third sound of dawn, the red dust of the flag has gone out of the city. (Li Kuo's "Chicken Song")
【Sunset Red Dust】
The red dust is endless, and it looks like it is even thin. (Zhang Zheng see "Luoyang Dao")
Door car road, this road is floating and sinking. If the sun does not set, the red dust should be deeper. (Yu Wuling,"Dongmen Road")
The sword blade was red and electric, and the horse's feet were red dust. The sun is singing and the noise is loud and noisy. (Yang Jiong, "Liu Sheng")
Ann knew that I had uneven colors, and the sun was about to fall red and dusty. (Li Yi's "Light and Thin")
At first, red dust was only related to daylight, but it was not a patent of the city, and there was also red dust in the suburbs and villages:
The frost shines on the day, and the wind returns and rides over. The red dust is at night, and the yellow sand is dim. (Xie Guan's "Drumming Song of Congrong Song")
The rock house is beautiful and the suburban garden is flat with spring trees. ...... The sunset is red and dusty, and the carriages and horses are chaotic. (Chen Ziang," "Three Days of Qu Water Feast in Changshi Mountain Pond")
The red dust covered Chang'an, and the Fangcao King Sun Twilight did not return. (Wei Zhuang," "Spring Day")
The red dust related to daylight corresponds to the busy scene of morning and evening, giving people a sense of boredom, so it gradually adds the connotation of disturbance and becomes synonymous with the world.
In some works, red dust begins to have both virtual and real meanings:
Drunken in the daytime, the horse into the red dust. (Meng Haoran's "Tongchu Twelve Luoyang DaoZhongzuo")
In the middle of the night, listen to the chicken combing white hair, and the morning dawn horses into red dust. (Wang Jian, "Sending Friends in the Mountains After Joining the Army")
The red dust disturbed the sun and the west, and I was lonely and lonely. (Yuan Shu "Heavy Reward Lotte")
Drive the horse alone back to the lane, and the old red dust will be at the oblique line of the day. (Li Sheng, "Re-entering the East Gate of Luoyang")
In the Tang Dynasty, with the prosperity of Buddhism in China, "red dust" had another meaning, that is, the world.
For example, wang jian of the Tang Dynasty "Sending friends in the mountains after joining the army" poem Yun: "In the middle of the night, listen to the chicken combing white hair, and the morning dawn will walk into the red dust." ”
At this time, the red dust has been metaphorically referred to as a bustling and lively city.
In Buddhism, red symbolizes worldly temptations, the pursuits of life and the desires of the world; dust is dust and dirt.
For example, the fourth fold of Ming Jia Zhongming's "Jin An Shou" wrote: "You are now on Danxiao, going to Daique, stepping into Yaotai, which is a realm higher than in the red dust." ”
Qing Fan Yangxun's "Rebuilding the Monument of Yuan Jiashan" wrote: "He voluntarily mixed with red dust and widely practiced good deeds to save the danger and save the suffering." ”
The "red dust" here refers to the secular world that troubles us but cannot escape.
