Reflections on the anniversary of a woman's death in Golden Melody

When was this hatred? Lost step, cold rain rest, buried flowers. I had a long dream for three years. I think I woke up. Material also has feelings, and the world is tasteless. Not as cold and lonely as the dust on the night platform. The card issuer made a promise, but then abandoned it.

If there are Pisces in Chongquan. It is good to know him, who he has been suffering from, and who he is relying on. I turned around from midnight, and I endured listening to Xiang Xian's excuse. When it's over, he'll know himself. I'm afraid it's unlucky for both of them, and they're going to live in the wind and sleep outdoors again. Clear tears, confetti.

This word is the representative work of the author's eulogy. Lu, a good wife, returned to China at the age of 18. She was deeply in love and died three years later. "Anti-emotion dust table is regarded as a floating cloud; If you caress your boudoir, you will keep running. In his death, there were many lamentations, especially the hatred of bosom friends. " (Zhou Duwen and Feng Tong, "A Brief Study of the Epitaph of Mrs. Nalan Chengde's Lu", the Fourth Series of Ci Studies) There are as many as 40 mourning poems by Nalan Xingde, all of which are blood and tears, and the words are crazy. This word is especially called swan song. Words are written from the empty stage, flowers are buried in midsummer, which hurts the feeling of spring mourning; In addition, the night platform is far away, and there is no news, so that the next life is difficult, the feelings are progressive, and finally despair. This life is over, and the afterlife is over? The whole word is mixed with truth and falsehood, and the real scene and the imaginary scene, seeing and thinking, are integrated into one, vividly recalling the past and thinking mysteriously. What connects all this is the sincere emotion of the "bosom friend" couple that feels "the world is tasteless" and can span life and death, time and space.

Thus, Nalan's ci is "sad and stubborn" and "unreadable".

Yan's comment: Nalanxing Dexu died at the age of 32. He was 24 when he was in mourning. It took three years to write this "Jin Lu Qu", and five years later he himself was "buried". After Lu's death, he actually became his second wife, but the desire to "get a bosom friend" and the feeling of "being tasteless in the world" almost seized his heart in recent ten years. There is a saying in the poet's poem "Pick mulberry seeds and sing snowflakes" that "there are not rich flowers in the world". This frightening heart sound can be said to be a concentrated expression of the soul's discomfort and uneasiness. The death of Lu, a confidante, deepened his rejection and rebellion against the "world". The sad melody of the three-year festival focuses on "the material is tasteless." To say "I have feelings" means that the wife of the deceased agrees that she has a sense of knowing her feelings, which is definitely a feeling of "bosom friend", thus strengthening her desire to "live another life". Nalan's painstaking thought of writing-driving began with the transformation of the corresponding points of "dream" and "awakening". Three-year soul, is it "dream" or "wake up"? It's a long dream to wake up! So it's not a dream. He came here to "wake up", to get rid of it, and to realize that "the world is tasteless". In this way, the living turned in a "dream", while the passing one was awake! Writing such a stupid language is only painful and profound. In the last part, the pity for the dead wife is paraphrased from "It's not as good as an evening performance", and it's hard to understand that you have made an appointment to throw it away, blaming yourself and others. So I started the next article "Heart Sacrifice". The sentences of "he was born" and "fate", the infatuated inner monologue, the heartbroken feelings, and the overflowing blood and tears beyond time and space are really thrilling to read and unbearable to look back. Is it a hint or an epiphany that the intimate friend of the dead woman "wants to talk to Yuen Long year after year" when her tears run out? Yang Fangcan, a poet in Jiaqing period, said in his Preface to Nalan that his ci was "faint in rhyme, suspicious of immortals, thinking of secluded places and approaching ghosts", which can be described as a model of the latter sentence. The so-called "calm down and think" actually means that the poet combines pursuit and loss without painting. (Yan, editor-in-chief of Yuan, Ming and Qing Ci, Tiandi Publishing House, 1997, p. 188)

Wang Appreciation: This is a eulogy written on May 30th, 19th year of Kangxi (1680), which is the third anniversary of the death of his wife Lu. At this time, Nalanxingde was twenty-six years old. According to the epitaph of Nalanyun written by Xu, sexual virtue is "the daughter of Lu, who was married to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the minister of war, and the right of Duchayuan, and died first as a scholar." According to the epitaph of Nala Lu's family unearthed in 1977, Lu's family belongs to ... eighteen-year-old Chengde. Kangxi died on May 30, 16, and gave birth to a son, Liang Hai. " Lu was 20 years old when he married Nalan Xingde, and died three years after marriage. However, her husband and wife have deep feelings. Today's "Drinking Water Words" contains a lot of mourning works. Nalan Xingde grew up in a wealthy family, a boy who was a peacemaker and a son of Wuyi. The loss of his wife made him taste the bitterness of life. This "Golden Melody" is a masterpiece among mourning works.

The word popped up: "When did this hatred ever happen?" This is a rhetorical question that turns the phrase "When will this water stop and this enmity stop" in Li Zhiyi's "BuOperator" into one sentence, and expresses the poet's deep and endless grief over Lu's death. Since Lu's death, Nalan Xingde has never stopped thinking about her. He hates being married for three years and becoming eternal, full of joy and sorrow; I hate people who leave and meet again for no reason. On the anniversary of my wife's death, this sadness and hatred increased. The three sentences of "dripping water and empty stairs, more cold and rainy, burying flowers" have rendered the environmental atmosphere of sorrow and joy. The sentence "dripping empty ladder" was translated into the meaning of the sentence in "more leaking". The warm word says, "It rains for three nights in the phoenix tree. If you don't leave your feelings, you will suffer. A leaf, a voice, and empty footsteps fall into the light. " People who can clearly hear the empty tread of residual raindrops after the rain stops at night must be depressed. Wen Feiqing is suffering from lovelorn love, while Nalan Rongruo is suffering from the loss of his wife. The pain of death is naturally too much to be separated, so its bitterness is even worse. The deceased woman died on May 30th of the lunar calendar. At that time, it was summer, and most of the flowers had withered, so it was called "flower burial weather". Here we should pay attention to two words: one is called "cold weather" on summer nights, which is not caused by natural weather, but by lonely and desolate mood; Secondly, the poet does not mean "falling flowers", but "burying flowers". "Burying" and "falling" are the same, because there is no rhythm. When a person dies, it is called "burial", and the word "burial" is more suitable for Lu's death. A wife as beautiful as a spring flower is like a fallen flower. Today's "flower burial weather" was once the "human burial weather" three years ago. My wife died three years ago, which seems like a big dream, but if it was a dream, I should have woken up long ago. People who are shocked by bad news often have some doubts about reality when they are sad, hoping that they are in a dream. No matter how unpleasant the scene in the dream is, it disappears when you wake up. But what about those who dream every three years? The bitter reality forced the poet to face it squarely. There is no doubt about my wife's death. What made her leave me without nostalgia for life on earth? The poet imagined: "Matter also feels tasteless." This sentence left an intriguing question for later readers. Why did Lu die? Why does she feel "tasteless"? Lu's husband only married her for three years after her death. Why did he leave so many mourning works? The epitaph unearthed in Lu today is so small (although exquisite, it doesn't match her status as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister? "It's not as cold as the dust on the night platform, it's a lonely place to bury your worries." The world is tasteless, it is better to separate the loess. Although I feel lonely, I can bury your heart. The night platform is the grave. Bury one's own sorrow, also refers to the cemetery. Lushi was buried in Tunzuju Village, Yuhe Zaoshi. The sentence "I gave up my promise" comes from my own pain, saying that you gave up because you thought the world was boring, but you ignored our vow to live forever and left me alone in pain. In ancient times, couples often used hairpins as a symbol of their loyalty to love. Chai is one of the ancient female jewelry, which is a double piece, cymbals, that is, golden flowers. It is a jewel inlaid with jewels, and it is also composed of two pieces. The author of the last film deeply misses his dead wife. After the film, you can imagine the life after Lu's death, which will make the memory of the deceased more profound.

At the beginning of the next movie, the poet wants to know what happened after Lu died. This is, of course, based on the premise that there will be ghosts after death. This is also due to the limitations of the times and the sincerity of poets, which is naturally understandable. "Heavy springs have Pisces to send it. I know him very well, and these years have been bittersweet. Who do you rely on? " "Chongquan", that is, Yellow Spring and Jiuquan, is commonly known as the underworld. Pisces refers to letters. There is a saying in ancient Yuefu that "guests come from afar and leave me a pair of carp." Ask the child to cook carp, there is a book in it. Later, the world used double carp to refer to letters. If you can communicate with your wife who died in the grave, you must ask her whether her life has been bitter or happy in recent years and with whom. This is caused by the association of love before death. The poet also said in two other mourning poems entitled "Qinyuanchun": "Remember to blow red rain when the embroidered couch is idle; Carve a column and lean against the sunset. " Then he said, "I remember you best. I was so charming that I cut a silver lamp and poured tea on myself. " From loving life before death to caring for life after death, family ties can be described as deep into the bone marrow. The poet tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. I want to pay attention to Qin Xiang as a pastime, but I can't bear to listen to it, because it is the relic of my dead wife. Seeing things and thinking about people will only play the role of "raising a glass to dispel worries" and "drawing a sword and cutting off water", which will not help. Xiang Xian originally refers to ChristianRandPhillips's piano. There is a cloud in Gu Zhenguan's "Picking Mulberry Seeds": "It is obviously beautiful, the piano is still in the east room, ... lonely and cool, and the moonlight is like a dream." It can be seen that when Lu was in Japan, the couple often arranged the piano in the east wing. Guanqin is playing the piano. It is difficult to send a message, so the poet can't bear to play the piano, so he has to hope that he can become a bosom friend with her in the next life. According to Ye Shuchong's "Epitaph of Lujia", after his wife died, "there were many sad songs, especially the grievances of bosom friends." The poet regards Lu not only as his own relative, but also as his close friend, which is extremely rare under the feudal marriage system. The poet's wish of "making a bosom friend" is still afraid that it will not come true: "I am afraid that both of them will have bad luck and then be in the wind." The poet even worried that the two were unlucky, and the couple in the afterlife would not last long. Fate means less fate; If there is no wind in the month, the good times will not last long. Reading this can't help but make people cry. After three years of marriage, the separation of life and death is enough to make people feel sad and look forward to the afterlife. Isn't this a cruel reality? Under the feudal system, marriage is not based on love, so there are few happy couples, and one or two rare loving couples are often separated by natural disasters and man-made disasters. Many spoony men and women have to die for each other for ghosts and ghosts. It is an improvement for poets to expect to make friends again in the afterlife. However, I know there is no hope, so the ending sentence of "clear tears, confetti" is particularly sad.
