Bai Pu's "Tianjing Sand Winter" has two songs, one is simple and beautiful in winter, and the other is happy
"A sound of painting horns, half a crescent moon dusk" Yuan Dynasty Bai Pu
Speaking of Bai Pu, people will compare him with Ma Zhiyuan, because both of them are famous miscellaneous writers in the Yuan Dynasty.
But in fact, Bai Pu was more than twenty years older than Ma Zhiyuan. Ma Zhiyuan can be said to be a Yuan Dynasty person, but Bai Pu spanned two eras, the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, he was more turbulent than Ma Zhiyuan's childhood and youth, his father was a high-ranking official of the Jin Dynasty, and in the last days, Bai Pu had a brief stability and wealth like Jia Baoyu. But a life of turmoil and war affected his life. All his life, he regarded himself as a remnant of the Jin Dynasty, and to some extent, he did not have the vigorous prime-age vigor of Ma Zhiyuan, who always wanted to do it as an official in the Yuan Dynasty. But Bai Pu, more than twenty years older than Ma Zhiyuan, the country was destroyed, the family was adrift, he was discouraged very early, and at the age of 36, he had the opportunity to become an official and did not do it. Most of his life was spent traveling through the landscape and writing various scripts. I believe that it is the diligence of these writers and the help of friends, he has not been an official in his life, but still has the happiness of ordinary people, and he lived at least 80 years old.
So what are the characteristics of Bai Pu's poetry and song works? It is good at using the third eye and hand to describe the environment, such as one of his poems "Tianjing Sha Qiu" is often used to compare with Ma Zhiyuan.com.
"The sunset of the lonely village, the light smoke of the old trees faints." A little Phenom shadow. Green mountains and green water, white grass, red leaves and yellow flowers. ”
Some people say that this song can't catch up with Ma Zhiyuan: "Dead vines and old trees are faint crows, west winds are thin horses, and broken intestines are in the end of the world." ”
But Bai Pu was twenty years earlier than Ma Zhiyuan, and the dense scenery of old trees and crows and sunsets appeared first in Bai Pu's writings. Moreover, the characteristics of Bai Pu can also be seen in this small poem, all outside the painting, and no one appears. But it feels like a jiangnan twilight, and that bit of Feihong, a thousand quiet moves, that is himself. The beauty of this silent situation is also the same as the ordinary dream of the Red Chamber after he has experienced the vicissitudes, setting himself up on a high place, but it does not make people feel mysterious. Of course, in terms of empathy, Ma Zhiyuan's Tianjingsha is obviously more infectious.
Because everyone will substitute for the ancient road west wind skinny horse.
To say these, is to interpret Bai Pu's literary style, it is precisely so with Cao Xueqin's last experience, vicissitudes of feelings, he can become a famous and moving, literary and later generations of Yuanqu everyone, he wrote at least 15 plays in his lifetime, although most of them have not been handed down, but you can also see the grand performance in the Yuan Dynasty.
"A sound of painting horns, half a crescent moon dusk, snow in front of the mountain waterfront. Bamboo hedge huts, lonely villages with fading grass. "Yuan Dynasty Bai Pu "Tianjing Sha. Winter》
Many people say that small poems are picturesque. But obviously in the Yuan Dynasty, small poems are not three-dimensional enough, and small poems are like a situation, which can be more attractive.
I intuitively feel that this is the background of the stage play, the state of the time when something is about to happen. Or there may not be such a scene on the stage, but people who know opera know that some lyrics and dialogues can be explained in minimalist terms, which is the beauty of the creation of words.
This is a mountain village. There are courtyards, bamboo hedges huts, and the location is very clever, at the water's edge in front of the mountains, and it is a new sunny dusk after heavy snowfall. But this mountain village is not completely devoid of external ties, nor is it a paradise, because this is a village on the border, and on the mountain there will be border gate towers, and the trumpet is blown, and the sound is heard here.
Small courtyard above, with a crescent moon.
So what happens? The tranquility of the winter night before the war gives this mountain village a simple and beautiful winter tranquility. It makes people have a momentary winter intoxication, but there is also a hint of uneasiness.
This border village with the beauty of seclusion corresponds to the painted corner gate. Do you stand on the city wall and watch, or do you stand in the courtyard and watch? Evocative.
If placed in the opera, it should be a prelude to beauty, waiting for it to be broken and ravaged.
The white brush stroke power in this is comparable to some scenes of the Dream of the Red Chamber, if you should make sense to every word.
The reason why Bai Pu was not an official was also because he was not accustomed to the iron hooves of the Yuan Dynasty, and he refused to help him.
Then there is another song "Tianjing Sand Winter", which will not be written for the creation of the script, with a clear self and human business sentiment.
"There are six flying flowers in front of the door, and everything in front of the bottle is hughed." In order to ask Dongjun news, he urgently taught people to probe. The Prophet of Xiaomei on the River. "Bai Pu", "Tianjing Sand Winter"
It was the joy of seeing the snow. See the snowflakes and let go of all worries. Heavy snow also gives birth to vitality, the so-called winter solstice yangsheng, snow comes and blooms. Hurry up and ask people to inquire, have the plum blossoms bloomed by the river? There's news coming right over there, it's time!
There is an omission here, that is, the urgent call to the detective, and Xiaomei Prophet, omitting a round trip. And this is the economic writing method that skillfully controls words and scenes.
Then the snow thinks of plum blossoms, why let him be so excited, a word of everything Hugh, you can know how depressed the reality is, only to the plum blossoms to ask for knowledge. Spiritual distress and sustenance and excitement have jumped on the paper.
It can be said that Bai Pu's writing is pure fire.
Of course modern people can appreciate this minimalism, but there is no need to deliberately learn. Because the era of Bai Pu and Ma Zhiyuan was a period of chaos and turmoil. These intellectuals, who could have made a greater contribution, turned their heads in the drama to find spiritual sustenance. They are the same as Cao Xueqin of the Later Qing Dynasty.
We see some classical beauty, and we have to see what forces out of these extreme delicacies. Behind the miracles and stunning words, there is often the unbearable reality.
