Strings in the Fire of War: Xiao Gongquan's lyrics during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression

"The country is unfortunate that the poet is fortunate, and he has been given a convenient work in the vicissitudes of the sentence." In the flames of the War of Resistance Against Japan, many cultural celebrities either left their hometowns to avoid the Kou, fled the world, or swallowed insults and endured humiliation, bowed their heads to Zhenyuan, or crossed the Prancing Horse and threw pens from Rong, and always sent poems with great generosity. In addition to the new literature, a large number of masterpieces of old-style poetry also emerged during this period. These works have both historical and artistic value and should have a place in the history of modern literature. I would like to take a few notes as far as I can read. This article discusses Mr. Xiao Gongquan's lyrics during the anti-Japanese period.

In 1937, when the Sino-Japanese War broke out in full swing, Mr. Xiao Gongquan's family was trapped in Beiping, and later went through hardships and thousands of miles before they were able to move to Chengdu, Sichuan Province. During the first few months in Chengdu, Mr. Xiao had to be separated from his family due to difficult conditions, and it was not until September 1938 that the family was reunited in Chengdu. The dangers of state affairs, the hardships of displacement, and the separation from his family haunted his mind, "the sound of the subjugation of the country mourns and thinks, and its people are in distress," and his lyrics became more and more depressed, and in terms of style, they were very similar to those of the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhu Yizun of the Qing Dynasty. The following are a few examples and a brief analysis.

Strings in the Fire of War: Xiao Gongquan's lyrics during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression

In the works after entering the Shu Dynasty, there are some obvious pessimistic overtones, and even placed in Wang's "Human Words", which can also be confused. The following two are examples:

Raccoon Creek Sand He once went up to the dangerous building to look at the meditation. The empty city is silent. The wilderness vines are filled with azure. Ten thousand points burn light and rainy nights, with the wind and light extinguish the illusion of spring stars. Who is awake at this point in life. Another song It's a pity when the feast is torched red. The wine song went away in a hurry. The sound of cars is whispering in the evening city wind. Looking back at the lights of the tall buildings, the shadows of the moon are dim. The desolation is in the air.

The two poems depict the loneliness and sorrow of life, and the latter one contrasts with the feast and the dissipation of the drunkard, which especially gives rise to a sense of impermanence and disillusionment. Words describing melancholy, this stage can be said to be everywhere in Mr. Xiao's concentration. Here's one of the best of them:

Qi Tianle A change of zero rain and cool, Jiangcun geese come in season. In the dream, the copper camel, the sad side of the iron horse, help Qiu's heart is miserable. Cool and dark throat. At first frost forced the lamp to be destroyed, and the flame was extinguished. Shadow virtual window, accompanied by emaciation under the moon. The night is more bitter to seek dreams, and the dreams are still at the end of the day. Jade fortress maple withering, Golden City willow old, thousands of miles of autumn back to the fallen leaves. Huang Ying sent again. When the tears are poured, the flowers will be hot. V. Fang Cong, Chu's soul is full of sorrows.

This poem describes the sentiments of sad autumn and expresses a deeper level of sadness. Shangyan changed with hot and cool, and Yan Guojiangcun wrote it, pointing out the seasons and representative scenes at the same time, it has begun to secretly create a cold and sad emotional tone. The images of the "copper camel" and "iron horse" point out the true background of this sadness: the haunting of the Chengping years, the hometown of the homeland, and the anxiety about the invasion of foreign countries and the war- The phrase "cool and dark" pulls the description of one's own thoughts and feelings back to the description of the objects in front of the eyes, and all kinds of scenes are invisibly adding the desolation of the author's heart. "The night is deeper to find the dream is more bitter" is a film, from the real scene to the dream, and then to the melancholy after waking up from the dream. From the image of "maple withering willow old", it is written that the autumn coolness that pervades the heavens and the earth, and the author's sorrow is endless. This kind of feeling has nowhere to vent, can only face Qiu Juyi to shed tears, this loneliness obviously deepened the author's sorrow, until "the soul is stacked", which reminds people of Qin Guan's famous sentence "Spring goes, flying red ten thousand points of sorrow like the sea". Although one hurts autumn and one hurts spring, the tone of its feelings is the same.

During mr. Xiao's Sichuan period, he sang and sang with many poets and lyricists, and his works were also evaluated by many famous artists. The following poems are the best works that have been well received by the people of the time, and can also be used as representatives of his period:

Tread on the sand line Xin Wei cold food, suburban travel in the rain, return to this. Feel the sound of the wind and rain still between the sleeves also. Tired of the flowers, the sunshine is thin. The east wind sends dusk rain. The flowers were scrawled with mud, and Shaoguang was busy. Wet clothes, slow down the road. The old placket marks are incense retained. Only the sideburns frost returned, and the wind and rain hit the same. (Zhu Peixian: Xiuya can be recited.) )

As his life in Sichuan gradually stabilized, his mood clearly calmed down. The fierce emotions when I first came to Shudi gradually turned into a kind of sentimentality that lurked beneath the surface of peace. Therefore, in his lyrics, there are many works that are scattered with light sorrow, but are not extremely sad, and the above < Ta Sha Xing Xin Wei Cold Food > is one of them. This poem describes the author's return from spring in the drizzle of the Cold Food Festival, and the Shangyan begins with an inverted syntax to describe the residual flowers and flying feathers of the residual spring season, and this "broken beauty" cannot help but evoke the reader's sigh that time is gone. And this flower, and just at dusk encountered a drizzle, "sloppy mud", and finally ended with the spring, which undoubtedly further deepened the mood of the beginning of the melancholy. Transitioning from the sentence "Shaoguang Hundred and Six Busy", the author shifts from describing the scene to himself, writing that the placket that was wet in the rain seems to retain the fragrance of spring flowers at the same time, but there is an afterscent in the air, and the flowers have passed away; only the white hair on the head, no matter the wind and rain, is still the same. So writing about the brevity of spring, writing about the passage of time, eventually becomes a lament about the finiteness of life. However, this poem has always maintained the style of "xiuya", that is, the style of "mourning but not hurting", and has not been repeated like the works of the previous stage, so it has been praised by Mr. Zhu Ziqing.

Minami Gezi The noon courtyard is idle, and the clear curtain is quietly hooked. The spring breeze specially sent away sorrow. Blowing up the east and flying all over the west building. Sheyan is undecided, and Binhong has gone on leave. Jin Jiang also helped hate Yo Yo. Full of bridge west flowers rain pay east flow. (Zheng Yinbaiyue: Deep and elegant, two knots before and after, coincidentally does not hurt the fiber.) )

This is another work that depicts the feelings of sad spring. Its emotional tone is similar to the previous one, and the text has its own uniqueness. It writes a scene on the upper and lower sides, and the two are in a parallel relationship and do not intersect in reality. The previous one depicts the spring breeze in the garden blowing a day of flying feathers, touching people's parting feelings. The "Sheyan" and "Binhong" at the beginning of the lower volume are closely related to the word "departing from sorrow" in the upper part (both are birds that can convey information), and "coming without certainty" and "going to rest" are not only realistic seasons (autumn to spring), but also because they block the messengers who transmit letters, they subsequently deepen the mood of "leaving sorrow". "Jin Jiang also helps hate you" is a sentence that swings away one by one, and the concept is broad. Thus the lyrics transition to the second scene, only to see the jinjiang river full of spring flowers and gone, quite like the mood of "flowing water falling flowers and spring going away" in Li Hou's main words, and the word "dongliu" is punish, which is both realistic and implies the Xiao Ser of "going to the east". The whole word is intended to describe the sad spring and the sorrow, but it is expressed entirely through the imagery in the word, and it is implicit with the pen. The scenes of the upper and lower two are separated in reality, but in terms of words, imagery and feelings, the two sides echo each other, have an internal connection, and are extremely cleverly conceived. Mr. Zheng Qian praised it as "deep and elegant, two knots before and after, and coincidence does not hurt the fiber", which is indeed the language of Zhiyin.

Confused Jinshui flowed eastward. Send but a lot of good spring. With high tiredness, the routine needs to be able to give. Ancient and modern sorrows, wind and flowers hate, to whom to complain. Pat the song dry, groaning bitterly. The inscription xue tao notes, broken intestines. To the eye oblique sun, the scenery is still the same. Xi Qiang climbed the stairs, not my soil. Painting bridge embroidery strange, sunset outside, heavy flower rain. Looking at the low sky of Shu, the bashan mountain is far away, and the cold fog is hidden. The wind tightened its throat and crossed the tide, and it was close to Nagisa. The moon is light and cloudless, and the darkness is flat. (Zheng Yinbaiyue: The rhythm is strict and orderly, the artistic conception is deep and elegant, the so-called Zhou Qing Liu appearance.) )

This poem is written since the wounded spring, with a pen Yajian, Mr. Zheng Qian praised as "Zhou Qing Liu Look", I think and have the style of Jiang Kui. Liu Yong's words are good at using relatively simple words to vividly express feelings, Zhou Bangyan's words are good at creating scenes to express feelings in a tortuous way, and Jiang Yong's words are clear and beautiful, and the most interesting is mellow. Although this poem has beautiful sentences such as "inscription on Xue Tao's note, broken intestines", the main theme is still "ancient and modern sorrow". The beginning of the Shang Dynasty begins with flowing water, first to the irreparability of time, and then to the regret that arises from it. This regret has nowhere to tell, cannot be discharged, and finally becomes this lyric. From time to space, xia yan first used the famous sentences of "the scenery is not different, there are different mountains and rivers" in "The New Language of the World" and Wang Yue's "Climbing the Tower", "Although I believe in beauty rather than my soil, how can I stay less", tortuously reflect the mood at this moment, and at the same time echo the sentence of Shang yan "By virtue of high tiredness, according to the routine need to be able to give", and then write the scene in front of you, with this image of low sky and dark clouds, reflecting and deepening the sourness caused by going to the country and leaving the country. "Deep and gentle mood", well-deserved.

Strings in the Fire of War: Xiao Gongquan's lyrics during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression

In the midst of a nameless melancholy of going to the country and nostalgia, Mr. Xiao can also explain himself from time to time, showing a relaxed mood and a broad mind. The following words can show the cheerful and life-like side of his personality:

Magnolia slow Gengchen nine days to play songs Sad Autumn I did not intend, chatting about the wine, to the west wind. The smoke in the plains is open, the sun is shining, and the frost is in the air. Chrysanthemums shine on the eyes of the pure gold, and do not make pitiful red to the oblique sun. How to use the ancient platform high meeting, Qingyou is good in the east of the fence. Fluttery. Life is in turmoil. There is no time to sigh poorly. It is a comparison of yuanming, the talent is far inferior, and the sexual pride is the same. easiness. Half old in a foreign land, he wrote a deep heart in ten thousand pieces. The long road is difficult to send, and the poems are on the curtain of the moon.

According to the title, this poem was written on the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth lunar month in 1940, that is, the Chongyang Festival. The ancients have always had the custom of ascending on this day, admiring chrysanthemums, and drinking alcohol, and there are countless poems and masterpieces that have sung Chongyang in the past. And the feelings expressed in these psalms, either broad and heroic, or poignant and profound, vary greatly. In this poem, Mr. Xiao uses a clean and healthy tone to express his optimistic arrogance in leisure, and the tone of the whole word is quite different from the ones mentioned above. At the beginning of the word, Mr. Xiao opened the line and made it clear, indicating that this is not a lament for "sad autumn", and then used powerful brushstrokes to outline the autumn colors in front of him, and the autumn scenery made people feel free and bold. In the next few sentences, Mr. Pulled his gaze from the distant view back to the blooming chrysanthemum bushes in front of him, and in the splendid "pure gold eyes" of the chrysanthemums, the author saw the stubbornness of the flower "to the oblique sun and not to be pitiful red", and this is obviously the author's own situation. The following two sentences are superficially the activities of the writer himself, secretly borrowing the allusion of Tao Yuanming's collection of chrysanthemums to show Mr. Xiao's feelings of not being bound by foreign objects, and also paving the way for the Mingbi of Xia Yanzhong and Tao Yuanming. In the next step, the author shifts from writing scene lyricism to direct lyricism, although lamenting the chaos of the times, the body seems to be floating, but he feels that he has "no time to sigh poor", but has the heart to follow the martial arts, imitate Tao Yuanming's arrogance and calmness, and use poetry to dispel his sorrows, so as to spend his life and help himself forget the worries of wandering.

Junior Tour Life is a moment of good time. Why wait for spring. Yue Yue peeked at the window, jade plum fluttering, spotted pipe self-written words. Cruel winter wants to turn over and pity each other, this means the old party knows. Plum blossoms, peach apricots, sideburns.

The first sentence of this poem is also the source of the title of this article. This is Mr. Xiao's answer to Professor Ye Shisun's harmony, there are four poems, preceded by a small preface. This is the third track. In the preface, he describes the scene at the time of creation, Zeng Yun: "Shi Yue's first month rises, Hui Liu has several cases, bottle plums fall quietly, Yan Yu is fragrant, and at first glance, there are enough people to stay in the countryside. In these few poems, the author first writes from the remnants of the cold winter in front of him, then turns to the remembrance of the past, and then returns to reality, showing a leisurely attitude of being at ease with the encounter. The one quoted here most fully expresses this mentality of Mr. Xiao. The opening chapter is cloud "life is a beautiful time", do not have to be distressed and sentimental because of the rotation of the sun and the moon, the order of the Spring and Autumn Dynasties, even at the end of the cruel winter, you can also have the same "Yue Yue peeping window, jade plum fluttering, spotted pipe self-written words" such a free joy of life. The meaning of the next paragraph goes further, saying that the cruel winter has its cuteness, which cannot be reached by the spring light, because the arrival of spring will make the author who has entered middle age feel the passage of time, but it is not as free as the cruel winter. The peace and maturity of the soul embodied in this poem reflect the spiritual world of Mr. Mister.

Jiang Chengzi Magnolia peach folded branches a bottle, endowed with this reward Moth eyebrows lightly sweep the old sky. Go to the dust. Will be immortal. Wanjing Yangzhou, looking back at the non-smoke. Hand in hand in Su'e Yao Hall, Ling fell on the scene, looking at Chang'an. Lu Fenggu shot out of the sacred mountain. Maung Ching Yeon. Petite. Smiling, they wanted to visit Wulingyuan. But I love Xiao Zhai Spring Moon is good, with a small station, in front of the paper window.

Among Mr. Xiao's lyrics during his stay in Shu, there are also many chants, and the above is one of them. This song reflects his interest in life from another side. Folding flowers on the desk is a favorite of traditional literati. In this poem, he uses anthropomorphic brushwork to write the elegance of the two kinds of flowers, peach and magnolia respectively, and the reader appreciates the lyrics of this song, but also experiences the author's own noble disposition. At the same time, this song is also very skilled in the use of the works of predecessors, without trace. For example, in the above Wing Chung Bi Tao, it is transformed into Qin Guan < Wanghai Tide> "Yangzhou Wanjing Tifeng" and < Yu Meiren >" In the Peach Heavenly Planting and Dew. Not everything that spends counts" in words and semantics.

Mr. Xiao Gongquan went in and out of the families of Zhou Bangyan (Meicheng), Jiang Kui (Bai Shi), Wu Wenying (Dream Window), Shi Dazu (Meixi), Wang Yisun (Bishan), and Zhang Yan (Yutian), integrating the strengths of each family, and injecting the thoughts of the family and the country into his lyrics, profoundly reflecting the complex mentality of modern Chinese intellectuals in the chaotic era, thus forming his own unique style. His lyrics (which also extend to his poems) were admired by the people of the time, although because of the extraordinary artistic achievements of these works, but also because they euphemistically and delicately expressed the voice of the intellectuals of the same era as Mr. Wang, thus arousing wide resonance. As Mr. Zhu Ziqing said in his book to Mr. Xiao: "Brother's eyes are very high, transcendent, and the feelings of mourning are also revealed between the lines." There is nothing I can do today. In short, Mr. Xiao's lyrics are not simply retro imitations, but can be said to borrow the wine cups of the ancients and pour the blocks in the chest. "Shi Shu Xinyu" Yun: "Ruan Zhi has a block in his chest, so he needs to pour wine"; Li Yan < miscellaneous sayings >: "And the true writer of the husband world, this is not intended to be Wen Ye at the beginning." There are strange things in his chest, things in his throat that he wants to vomit but dare not spit out, and there are many things in his mouth that he wants to say and cannot be told, and he has accumulated a lot of accumulation for a long time and cannot be contained. Once you see the scene, you will sigh with excitement, grab the wine glass of others, and pour your own blocks. Appealing to the unfairness in the heart, the feeling of strangeness is more than a thousand years. In the process of Mr. Xiao Gongquan's writing, the traditional style of words is longer than lyrical, good and moving, which is in line with his state of mind, so as to get the most out of it. It can also be shown that traditional poetry and other styles have not completely lost their vitality in modern society, and they can still play an important and irreplaceable role in expressing modern people's life experience and thoughts and feelings.
