Whenever the genre of ancient Chinese poetry is mentioned, there is always no way to get around the "Tang poetry and Song Poetry Yuanqu", and all the People of Tang Poetry and Song Poetry recite from childhood to adulthood, so familiar poems can come with their mouths open. But what about meta-songs? If you ask a random person if he can recite more than ten meta songs, most people will answer "no". In fact, the number and literary level of Yuanqu are no less than those of Tang and Song poems. Mr. Wang Guowei said: "What is the best place of the Yuanqu? In a word, nature is enough. The great literature of ancient and modern times is all won by nature, and it is not written and yuanqu. "The yuanqu inherits the beautiful and gentle turn of the poems, exposes the sufferings of the people, writes love a hundred times, and writes about society, pointing directly to the social ills, and there is a beautiful mood and deep feelings between the lines.
In the Yuan Dynasty, from the pawns of the peddlers to the temple tianzi were willing to create and appreciate. Unfortunately, compared with the Tang poems and Song Ci, the degree of singing is inevitably low. How low is it? Of all the Yuanqu people, only three of them have been able to circulate their anthologies. The three people are Zhang Kejiu, Zhang Yanghao and Qiao Ji. Zhang Kejiu said, "What's going on in the mountains?" Songhua brewing, spring water sencha" is known to the world, Zhang Yanghao's "Xing, the people suffer; die, the people suffer" was repeatedly recited because he was selected into the language textbook. What about Georgie? I don't think anyone has an impression of him, he is like the impression of Yuanqu today, low-key, embarrassing, and unknown. But in fact, in any meta-song anthology, Georgie should occupy the most space. His talent should not have been buried.
Qiao Ji (1280-1345), the character Mengfu, the number Sheng Heweng, China's middle and late Yuan Dynasty outstanding miscellaneous drama, Sanqu everyone, he made outstanding contributions to the prosperity and development of China's opera Sanqu, Ming and Qing dynasty literati mostly called him and Zhang Kejiu and the two Yuanqu two masters; today's people on the Yuanqu, together with Guan Hanqing, Ma Zhiyuan, Bai Pu, Zheng Guangzu, Wang Shifu and called "Yuanqu Six Greats".
Georgie was very unlucky, and he failed in several scientific expeditions in his lifetime, so he simply stopped seeking fame and eventually did not succeed in his life. But useless is a student, there is no way out without merit, and Qiaoji, whose life is in trouble, has to write some loose songs to sell to the theater restaurant, in exchange for a little money to talk about to get by. Therefore, among the more than 200 scattered songs he has preserved, most of them are mainly depicting the love and marriage stories of men and women, with gorgeous language and elegant style.
At first, Because Georgie was not famous or introduced, the prostitutes refused to sing his songs. But Qiao Ji was born with "beautiful posture and good words," and his works were favored by the top singers and prostitutes in the theater building, with a sweet voice, delicate as a flower, and a high and arrogant Li Chuyi, who felt sorry for Qiao Ji, sang his lyrics, and listened to his heart. Pingsheng Huhai Shaozhiyin, Li Chuyi's appreciation and love, comforted Qiao Ji's lonely heart, no matchmaker's words, no worldly red tape, a pair of talented women began a happy life.
It is a pity that the good times are not long, and the two people who truly love each other are not tolerated by the world. Because of the favor for the poor Qiaoji, Li Chuyi encountered ridicule and insults, how can the drama have true feelings, just looking for a freshness. And Qiao Ji, who painstakingly composed loose songs, was also ridiculed by the literati inkers, relying on women to support the scene, not the big husband's doing... Cynicism is like a sharp arrow piercing them, and in the end, true love must also bow to reality, and their love story is prematurely killed by the pressure of public opinion.
When people reach middle age, fail the exams, are frustrated in the love field, and have no wishes, The pain in Georgie's heart is just as he sang in his song "Folding Gui Ling • Guest Window Qingming":
"Wind and rain pear blossoms, narrow cord curtains, clever small window screens." In front of the emotional lamp, the guest is on the pillow, and the heart is at the end of the world. Three thousand feet of clear sideburns, fifty years of spring dreams prosperous. Seeing people's homes, willows divide cigarettes, and hold up the cornices. ”
Georgie chanted, narrow windows, small window screens, revealing a space for one view. How many gusts of wind and rain have been blowing outside the window, and the pear blossoms are still so dazzling. No need to say that the mood in front of the guest lamp, the sadness of living alone, my thoughts always fly far and wide. Too much sorrow has spawned three thousand feet of white hair hanging down on the shoulders, and no matter how long the prosperity is just a spring dream. Suddenly, I noticed a wisp of light smoke wafting from the resident's home, rising from both sides of the willow trees, and gradually climbing up the towering eaves.
This meta song, after reading it, gives people a feeling of loneliness! It is really "wind and frost and snow in the fifty autumns, the taste is in the heart, the dust before the countless becomes an old dream, and the sound of the waves is still the same"! This man is really getting old in a flash! As soon as people are old, they are extra nostalgic for the past, they love memories extraordinarily, and in the bitter memories, they taste the hardships of life, and it is really endless!
With a sense of sorrow, sitting under the lamp, the heart, like the seawater, overflows the heart field, there is nowhere to return... "White hair three thousand feet, the fate is like a long", people wandering in a foreign country, how complicated the mood, how complicated, there is nowhere to tell! In the blink of an eye, I am over fifty years old, and I say that this age should be the best time in my life, but everything is like a prosperous dream!
