- "Zhou Nan - Rolling Ears"
With a crisp ringing bell, the "poetry collector" Old Li crossed the road with a large pocket on his back. All the way bumpy and all the way, today I brought you to a mountain village located in the northwest of Hubei Province. Yes, as we said earlier, Zhou Gong Ji Dan and Zhao Gong Ji Yi were divided into Shaanxi and ruled, and this is the "Zhou Nan" region.
Come and see, the scenery here is good, the spring breeze is blowing, the grass is green, the wildflowers are blooming, and the birds are chirping. A great picture of spring light!
Hey? How can you see a well-dressed, well-looking little woman sighing long and short, and Tankou seems to have a word! Ah, it was a beautiful young woman in Sichun. Write a poem, write a poem, write it down, write it down:
Zhou Nan - Curly ears
Harvest the rolled ears, not the basket. Oh I am pregnant, and I am traveling around.
Shōbi Choi, I'm depressed. My aunt is jealous of Pi Jin, and Wei Yi will not be cherished forever.
Shōbi Takaoka, I Ma Xuan huang. My aunt is jealous of the other side, and I will not be hurt forever.
I'm maddened! I am a servant, and the clouds are called.
Gone? Gone.
Good poetry, good poetry! Good is good, but she used a lot of strange words of that era, ah, modern people prefer the vernacular, can't understand ah! It's okay, Old Li first gave you a translation of the key problems in it:
First, let's talk about what this "curled ear" is. Don't look at Baidu, the explanation there is too complicated. In fact, it is the common ear of our childhood, a perennial herb common on the roadside of the countryside. In the spring, small white flowers bloom, and in summer, they are full of oval-shaped, prickly fruits that are very painful. The boys would pinch a few of them and sneak into the girls' long hair, then laugh and run away. Come to think of it!
However, the cang'er in the poem is written about the green seedlings in the spring, and the ancients took them home to make vegetables to eat. Whether it is good or not we don't know, but we can imagine that the food of the ancients is indeed not bad, look at the dress of the little woman in front of you, the conditions at home should be quite good. Let alone poor families. This wild vegetable is always a little bitter and difficult to swallow.
Not surplus is the basket, surplus is the meaning of full. The monthly profit is a loss. That is to say, after half a day of picking, it is still not full of a small basket.
Oh I'm pregnant, it's an exclamation, it doesn't mean anything. Don't get me wrong, people are not pregnant with people in their stomachs. People can't figure it out or a big mushroom cold. Here it is saying that she is missing someone far away.
Travel around. 寘 (zhi four sounds), place, also has the meaning of throwing, anyway, it is a little impatient. Weekly line (hang two sounds), week, surround; line, road bar. He threw the basket casually on the side of the road.
The journey of Lang Jun in her imagination, as well as the high hills and the mountains behind her, is nothing more than the difficult journey of Lang Jun in her imagination, sometimes climbing the high peak of the steep Cui Wei, sometimes climbing over the narrow and rugged ridge beams, and sometimes passing the slopes of the rocky slopes that have no way to follow.
My horse is decadent, my horse is yellow, my horse is paralyzed. Anyway, she imagined that Lang Jun's horse was tired and could not do it, decadent, the color of the hair was also mixed, and finally tired and paralyzed- fistula.
My servant is paralyzed, this sentence shows that her family is still passable, and there are servants, but this servant is estimated to be not young, tired and sick.
My aunt is drinking Pi Jin, and my aunt is drinking Pi Jin. The people who read these two sentences for the first time do have some big heads. What needs to be reminded is the word "my aunt", but it is not his aunt, let alone his aunt pouring him wine, it is the meaning of forgiving. Jin Wei (lei four sounds) and 兕 (si four sounds) are the wine utensils of the ancients. It looks like a three-legged bronze with a big belly, which I have seen in many museums; it should be a kind of wine glass made of rhino skin or the like. Anyway, it is about drinking. In the poem, this man goes out to ride a horse, the horse is ridden with old wine, and there is a loyal old servant on the side, which is not bad, and the sense of picture is also very strong!
Wei Yi is not forever cherished, Wei Yi is not forever hurt, and the cloud is called. These few sentences are all describing the man's drunken mood, the wine is forgetful water, drink a little remember who? Not forever, not forever hurt, and then a long sigh, repeat? No, this is a common technique in the Book of Poetry, no sentence only changes the repetition of one or two words, and sometimes often changes the repetition of one or two words and the whole paragraph. This is called "repetition" in literary creation, repeated procrastination. We will talk about it in the following psalms.
Basically, I can see it clearly.
Then Lao Li explained and deduced the whole popular meaning:
This spring breeze is the season, and the tender green and fat curly ears are spread all over the mountains! The basket I brought with me is not big, why do I always pick dissatisfaction? Is my hand too clumsy or my absent-mindedness?
In fact, the mushroom is cold, I am upset, I am always distracted, I don't care, I don't pick it, I throw the basket next to the road. This winding road stretches straight into the distance. I lean against the dirt slope by the side of the road and miss my dick! The willows on both sides of the road were like smoke, blurring his long-gone figure.
Think of my lang jun, he has been out of the house for more than half a year, has long been tired of it, my poor husband!
The journey is long, you have climbed up a hill again, and the horse has sore legs and is weak and decadent. Forget it, you will rest, come, get the pot bar, a drunken party hugh feels very good, you can think of anything or not, forget the sadness for the time being!
Turning over another ridge, the horse has been slow, the eyes are confused, come and come, come and go to a big cup, numb the inner melancholy!
Alas, I finally got off the high mountain beam, but in front of me was a chaotic stone hill with overgrown boulders, dare to ask where the road is! The horse lay flat and did not leave, and the old servant who had been following him all the way also lay down, smoked a cigarette and complained.
Alas, how is this good, my poor Lang Jun sighed, looking forward at the journey, looking back at his hometown...
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. After watching the hilarity, let's take a look at the doorway together.
In the field where the spring breeze blows, the "complaining woman" who threw down the basket containing wild vegetables pondered spring on the side of the road, looking at the winding distance. Imagine that his sweetheart is over the mountains and mountains, and people are sleepy and tired. Three points of anger, seven points of heartache!
This is a primitive and typical masterpiece in the history of literature that expresses nostalgic feelings. Its brilliance is evident in its ingenious chapter structure. Reviews have been mixed so far. For example, what "Queen Concubine Huaiwen Wang", "Wen Wang Huaixian", "Wife Misses Zhengfu", "Zhengfu Misses Wife" and so on, all explain the huairen emotions in the poem as one-way, either male thinking of women, or women thinking of men.
In addition, the small Japanese scholar Masao Aoki and the Chinese expert on the Book of Poetry also proposed that the "Curly Ear" is a combination of two fragmented poems into one poem. These views reflect their lack of understanding of the wonderful layout of the Curly Ear chapters. cut!
The poem "Rolling Ears" consists of four sentences, the first of which is written in the tone of a woman who misses the long-distance Langjun; the last three sentences are written in the tone of a man who misses home and is tired of the journey.
Like a drama on performance, as the curtain switches, the inner monologues of the male and female protagonists unfold in the same scene and at the same time.
Imagine:
In the first sentence, the woman's monologue calls out to the man who is traveling far away, and the curled ears of the "basket of non-profits" are abandoned on the side of the "Zhou Xing", the road leading to the far side.
Following the woman's call, the hard-working man appeared with sorrow; corresponding to the "Zhou Xing", he was marching in the mountains of Cui Song.
The sentence structure of one, two sentences also shows obvious contrasts and contrasts.
The third sentence is a repetition of the second sentence, with individual word changes of the repetition is one of the most common chapter structure features in the Book of Poetry, this kind of repetition can be imagined as a chorus or repetition, which effectively increases the lyrical effect, and expands and complements the rendering of the mood, steadily reproducing the theme melody of the music.
The fourth sentence is still a man's tone from the content analysis, but it is very different from the second and third chapters. Such techniques often used in the Book of Poetry are called single-line fragmentation, such as "ZhaoNan Caixuan", "Zhaonan Xinglu", "Zhounan Geqin", "Zhounan Hanguang", "Zhounan Ru Tomb" and other poems.
This kind of technique is a remnant of the choral form, which can be imagined as a low and excited male chorus behind the scenes. Its role is still to render the atmosphere of the psalms and use it to enhance the effect of the performance: cloud ho, cloud ho ho ho woo
Huairen is the eternal emotional theme of the world, and has become the best object for poets of all generations to chant and chant. "Rolling Ears" has made a good start for Huairen poetry, a spectacular branch in the long river of Chinese poetry, and has also become the source. Its far-reaching effects shine for future generations. In particular, the means of switching between male and female cameras in "Rolled Ears" and the method of interpreting the mood of the other party with one tone. It has become one of the important templates for love poems in later generations.
For example, Xu Ling's "Guan Shan Yue": Si Woman is on a tall building, and the window should not sleep. Zhang Zhongsu's "Spring Return Thoughts": The basket forgot to pick sangcai, contemplating last night's dream of Yuyang. Du Fu's "Moon Night": Tonight in the moon of The State of Yanzhou, only look at it alone in the boudoir. Wang Wei's "September 9th Remembrance of the Shandong Brothers": One less person is planted everywhere. Yuan Hao asked "Guest Intention": The children of the mountains should look at each other, and get nothing in early October. Wait, wait, a bunch of self-made and amorous wet people, obviously they are emotional, but also the heads of other women or family members.
Wet people either ascend to the far horizon, or wander under the moon, or stroll by the water, lyrically writing a series of poems that are parting from sorrow and homesick, and more or less also embody the aesthetic mood that is in line with "RollIng Ears"!
Finally, I will fully share with you another famous article after the advent of "Rolling Ears" a thousand years later - Tang Dynasty Lao Du's "Moon Night", when writing this poem, Lao Du is also far away from his hometown, and the people under the moon want to be daughter-in-law, but he does not express his feelings from his own emotional point of view, but in the tone of his daughter-in-law who thinks of her husband's "Rolled Ear" mode of thousands of miles away:
Moonlight
Tonight, I only look at it alone.
Distant pity for the little children have not solved the memory of Chang'an.
Fragrant mist clouds wet Qinghui jade arm cold.
When to lean on the false pretense double photo tear stain dry.
One word: how beautiful!
