Bodhisattva celebrates Qixi

Su Shi [Song Dynasty]

The wind returns to the fairy, the clouds open the fan, and the moon sets in the galaxy. The dream on the pillow is amazing, and the rain on the eaves is sparse.

Although we meet in a hurry, all shall be well. I don't envy this world, the days on earth are like years.

The night is about to pass and the sun is about to appear. Fifth watch, the Milky Way tilted and the moon fell on the earth. Cowherd and Weaver Girl woke up from a dream with tears in their eyes and tiny raindrops dripping in the sky.

Although the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met briefly, they will always be with the sky. They never envy life on the earth, because there are too many troubles on the earth and life is sad.

To annotate ...

Bodhisattva Man: epigraph name, 44 words with two tones, four sentences per piece, two rhymes and two levels.

Hyun-woo: It means that Fengbo and Master Yun came by car, which means that the wind is surging and the weather has changed.

The cloud has been fanned: the cloud that was used as a fan to cover the sun has left.

More blue: more disabled, more sky. Ian, there's not much left.

Galaxy turn: it means the galaxy turns obliquely, which means late at night.

Surprise: wake up, wake up.

Cao Cao: In a hurry.

The long days are hard to grow old: always with the sky and never die of old age.

The days on earth seem like years: the days on earth are sad, which is why the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl "don't envy the world".

This word was written at the dawn of "the stars turn under the moon". The first part of this word is about the attachment of cowherd and weaver girl on Qixi night. The next movie is about the feelings of Cowherd and Weaver Girl who broke up on the morning of Tanabata. The whole word is ingenious in conception and unique in conception.

The first part of this word is about the attachment of cowherd and weaver girl on Qixi night.

"The wind turns to the fairy cloud to open the fan, and the moon turns to the Milky Way." Rendering the space-time atmosphere of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl at this time: the whirlwind blows, the fairy car runs, the clouds are open, and the environment is desolate; At five o'clock, the moon fell on the earth, and the galaxy shifted, which was close to the time of parting.

"The dream on the pillow is amazing, and the eaves are rainy." It depicts the expression of Cowherd and Weaver Girl waking up from a dream with amazing dreams and tears. The words "dream" and "dawn" run through the whole film, which has a lasting appeal, such as "tenderness like water, courtesy like a dream, forbearing to return to the road from Guqueqiao" (Song Dynasty Qin Guan's Queqiao Fairy).

The next movie is about the feelings of Cowherd and Weaver Girl who broke up on the morning of Tanabata.

"Although the meeting is sloppy, it will get old after a long time." Turn around, wonderful pen creature. Even if they meet overnight, they come and go in a hurry and meet for a short time, but whether they are cowherd and weaver girl in heaven, it is a long time and they love each other for a long time, whether it is morning or night. Life is eternal and youth is immortal. This is the charm of heaven.

"I didn't envy the world in the end. The days on earth seem like years." In a sincere way, Dongpo expressed the wonderful truth that "Heaven is hard to get old" and Dongpo's indescribable lingering fear: Although the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet only once a year, it is better than the world, and the world is not enviable, because there are too many troubles in the world, and it is as long and difficult to spend a day as a year. In the last two sentences, the literary talent seems to be not strong, but it tells a profound philosophy of life, which is memorable.

From ancient times to the present, many writers and literary works are characterized by capitalization, such as the Qixi fairy, who thinks of vulgarity, descent, and even marriage with mortals, have children, and grow old together. Dongpo refuted ancient and modern Chen's saying that it is "hard to get old for a long time" to write the sky so beautifully, and it is "like a year" to write the world so hard. The whole word is ingenious in conception and unique in conception.

Translation and appreciation of Bodhisattva Man's Tanabata II;

Fly east and fly west. I haven't seen you for years. Washing incense cars in heavy rain. The sky turned back to the river.

Stay sad for a thousand years. Look at each other from a distance. It's not like this world. Back to Mount Wan Li.

Chinese Valentine's Day, black magpies and swallows came to the bridge one after another, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl who were blocked by the Milky Way would not meet again for a year. The heavy rain washed away the car that Weaver Girl was riding, and the sky was spinning and the galaxy was tilted.

Thousands of years have passed, and sorrow is endless. Although we are far apart, we can still look at each other from a distance. Unlike on earth, looking back, there are only towering mountains.

Cowherd and Weaver Girl. Legend is an ancient myth in China. The Book of Songs, Dadong, tells that the Weaver Girl and the Morning Glory are separated on both sides of the Milky Way. By nineteen ancient poems, the general outline of the story was formed. Later, this myth was recorded more and more completely in books such as Li, Er Ya Yi and Liang Yinyun's Novels of the Six Dynasties (quoted from). In modern times, it spread among the people, rich, full, active and healthy, and became an ancient myth. Because this myth is generally obscured by the Milky Way in all kinds of books, it can only meet on the annual Qixi Bridge, and finally it is covered with a tragic color. Therefore, scholars of past dynasties often use this fairy tale to express their sadness, and Chen Shidao's "Bodhisattva Man's Tanabata" is no exception.

The first paragraph of the word describes the meeting of cowherd and weaver girl on Tanabata. The first sentence: "fly east and fly west, see you after the year." It means that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are on both sides of the Tianhe River on weekdays and can't meet each other. "Although there are many waters, there are no words" (Nineteen Ancient Poems). Only on July 7th every year can the black magpie cross the bridge and meet the Tianhe River. The busy scene of "flying east and flying west", like black magpies and swallows coming to the bridge in succession, is also the only condition for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to overcome the barrier of "Ying Ying-Yishui" and meet and get together. After many years, I can only cry across the river; When we meet at this time, we naturally hate being late. "Rain washes the fragrant car, and the sky returns to the river." It sets off the eagerness of the two people looking forward to meeting, and also symbolizes the hard journey after the disaster. A fragrant car generally refers to a special car for ancient aristocratic women. Liang Di Xiaoyuan's "Poetry of Car Names" says: "Beauty sits in a pepper room, knees facing Lanxun, surrounded by flowing water, and clouds are painted on the side beams. Brocade is very different and clothes are fragrant." This refers to the car in which the Weaver Girl rides. Hehan, that is, Tianhe in Guang Zhi: "Tianhe is called Han Yin and Yinhe, also known as Tianhan, Tianjin, He Jiang and He Ming."

The next film "Leave You Sorrow for a Thousand Years" has a different avatar to express your feeling of being "not like the world" in the sky. The core of the tragedy of Cowherd and Weaver Girl is that lovers can't be well, live a long life and show compassion for others. Far apart, what a pity. And "distance" can still "look at each other for a long time", while "people" can't even "look at each other for a long time". This "last difference" is even more painful. After reaching this conclusion, Returning to Wan Li Mountain will inevitably bring a feeling of admiration and melancholy to the bumpy world. According to The History of Song Dynasty, Chen Shidao "lived a poor life and enjoyed happiness in times of peace", and he often "never cooked all day". After his death, his friends "bought coffins and collected them". I am afraid that the author of this poem also used the tragedy of the cowherd and the weaver girl in the sky to set off countless tragedies on earth.
