Chapter 49 Sima Qian: Sandalwood Qingge, sing "Golden Thread" thoroughly
My concubine lives on the Qiantang River, and the flowers bloom, regardless of the year.The swallow will take the spring scenery away, and the screen window will have a few bursts of yellow plum rain.
Sima Qian had a dream.The dream happened on the first day when he was a Jinshi and later became an official in Luoyang.Traveling all the way, people were exhausted, and as soon as he entered Luoyang City and found a place to live, he fell asleep like a dead pig.Seeing a woman in a daze, she walked into the tent gracefully, and sang a song for him to beat on the sandalwood board. After singing for half a song, she stopped singing and turned to leave. , hastily stopped, and asked her what song it was, and the beauty said it was "Golden Thread".
It is not unusual to dream of a beautiful woman singing for herself. Any man may have such a dream. The strange thing is that the beautiful woman solemnly said to Sima Qian before leaving: "We will meet on the Qiantang River in the future. .” The dream continued.
Five years later, Sima Qian was appointed to Hangzhou as the staff of Qin Shaozhang (Qin Shaoyou's younger brother). Sima Qian and Qin Shaozhang talked about this dream five years ago. Qin Shaozhang was very surprised and said: "The Xiling behind your official residence is Su Little tomb." Only then did I realize that the one who sang for me in the dream was probably Xiaoxiao.Sima Qian and Qin Shaozhang went out together and found a small tomb to worship.After returning, Sima Qian made up the second part of the poem.
What happened after that is nonsensical.Soon, Sima Qian fell ill and was very serious.One day, the boatman saw Sima Qian holding a girl's hand and boarding his family's painting boat parked by the river.He asked, "Where are you going, my lord?" As soon as the words fell, he saw a big fire burning at the stern of the ship.The boatman hurried home to report, and when he walked to the door, he heard his family members crying.It turned out that Sima Qian had died of illness.What the boatman saw just now was the ghost of Sima Qian.As for who that beautiful girl is, everyone can guess without mentioning it.
In fact, all the stories are conjectured by good people based on the song "Golden Thread".Or, maybe it was Sima Qian playing tricks, or maybe it was a real dream.A scholar sees a beautiful woman singing a love song to him in his dream, but the original creator of the song is actually himself, but he just wrote it in his dream.
The upper column is the song sung by the woman in Sima Qian's dream.I live alone on the Qiantang River, so lonely, flowers fall and bloom, bloom and fall, swallows fly to and fro, killing the good spring, through the screen window, I hear the light rain at dusk, it makes me feel so sad .
Xiayu is what Sima Qian saw in his dream.Her hair on the temples is as beautiful as ink clouds, and her rhinoceros comb like the moon is inserted obliquely into her temples, like the moon emerging from the clouds.While beating the beat with a sandalwood board, she sang along with the beat, her singing voice was clear.After singing a song, the lingering sound of "Golden Thread" is ethereal, as if coming from the clouds, and seems to go to the clouds.Suddenly, her figure flew away from my sight like a cloud.I looked all over the sky, looking for her trace, but the cloud, light and glow had disappeared.When I woke up from the dream, there was a blur in front of my eyes, and there seemed to be nothing but nothing.When the spring water is at the beginning of flatness and the moon is rising, I am speechless.
"Rhino comb", a comb made of rhino horn. "Sandalwood board", a percussion instrument, is "made of wood as a board and connected with ropes". "Che", the end of the song. "Xing Yun" uses the allusion of Wushan Goddess "the morning is the cloud, and the evening is the rain".
There are too many dreams that happened on the West Lake, but the most touching dream is Su Xiaoxiao.There are countless dreams surrounding Su Xiaoxiao throughout the ages.Sima Qian's dream is one of the most common ones.
Su Xiaoxiao's name first appeared in the "Qiantang Su Xiaoxiaoge" in the ancient Yuefu:
Whether this poem was written by someone else in Su Xiaoxiao's tone or by Su Xiaoxiao himself is unknown.It is also unknown who Su Xiaoxiao is. "Yuefu Guangti" says: "Su Xiaoxiao, a famous prostitute in Qiantang, was born in the Southern Qi Dynasty." These thirteen short characters are nothing but speculation.This poem was first seen in the anthology of poems "New Odes on Yutai" edited by Chen Xuling in the Southern Six Dynasties, so people inferred that she should be from the Southern Qi Dynasty.As for famous prostitutes, it is even more self-righteous judgment.But this doesn't affect Su Xiaoxiao's existence.The title of the poem "Su Xiaoxiao in Qiantang" was naturally born in Qiantang.So far, by the West Lake, Su Xiaoxiao's tomb is still full of tourists.Xiaoxiao is no longer synonymous with beauty, and she is not just the protagonist in a love tragedy, she is the embodiment of a perfect woman in a man's heart.
At the moment when the word "Su Xiaoxiao" came into view, the young woman's serene playing and singing of "the concubine rides an oil wall cart, and the man rides a green horse" makes the hearts of vulgar men and women move for a moment.
In short, this poem is like a flower seed, which will grow into clusters of flowers in the days to come.
In just 20 words, Little Pee came alive in our minds.This singing is so light, yet so passionate, so humble, yet so confident.Both shy and bold, both persistent and calm.
The Xiling in the poem is the current Xiling Bridge, one of the three lover bridges in West Lake. Su Xiaoxiao was buried beside Xiling Bridge after his death.This is the place where Xiaoxiao met her lover Ruan Yu. At that time, Ruan Yu pointed to the pines and cypresses beside the Xiling Bridge and said: "Qingsong is a witness, and I wish to live and die together."
Everyone can figure out the ending of the story, Ruan Yu said, when I go back to tell my father, the matchmaker will welcome you back.How could Xiaoxiao understand a man's scheming, she waited obsessively for her lover to come back.Because of him, she became the happiest little woman in the world.A few years later, she finally waited for her lover by the Xiling Bridge, and when they met, he said that he had already married a wife and was willing to take her as his concubine.She turned her head coldly, bit her lip, and said in a trembling and cold voice: "There is no green pine to testify for you here."
In the face of other people's persuasion, she only answered irrelevantly and said: "My heart is clean."
"My heart is clean", she saw through the sewage thrown at her by this hypocritical world.Facing the entanglement of the rich family, she pointed to the plum blossoms blooming in the courtyard and said: "Although the plum blossoms are proud, how can they be against the cold spring. If you want to distinguish between red and white, you have to look at it with blue eyes."
As the days passed, the little haggard cheeks slowly regained some color.She put on her old clothes again, put on light makeup carefully, and sat in the embroidered pavilion and played the piano gently.For the old visitors, her sad eyes once passed through the void, and suddenly turned into charming, smiling all over the city.
That day, she met him. He was not a rich man, but a poor scholar.She thought of him, who was as rich as a cloud, she never valued these things, but he betrayed his promise because of his wealth.She smiled lightly.Open the box, she took out a piece of silver and gave it to him to realize your dream.After going through these things, she no longer cares whether he will come back or remember her.He can't cover her cold spring, but he can make a seed grow in her heart, and a flower bloom in the dust.Go, I let you go, even if you never come back.
He is not hers after all, he is gone.I don't know if I promised her, even if I did, she still doesn't believe it.Like all the love stories between prostitutes and poor scholars, the ending of the poor scholar's gold list is the same as that of the high-ranking officials.The difference is that he didn't marry the prime minister's daughter, but he was thinking of the deep love and kindness of the woman in the world.
He is back.She was still there, a handful of loess in which she planted herself carefully.On the tomb, there are also some small wild flowers blooming, swaying with the wind.Bao Ren, who stood in front of Xiaoxiao's tomb, left this sentence: "Chivalry for thousands of years, who knows that it is in the boudoir." This sentence completely freezes Xiaoxiao. She is no longer the perfect lover in the eyes of men, but needs to look up. The jade-faced chivalrous woman.Until the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Mei, the owner of Suiyuan, had a private seal saying, "Suxiao in Qiantang is a fellow villager."There are countless poems chanting the little poems, the most affectionate and cherished one is Li He:
He said full of hatred: "Nothing is united, and the fireworks are unbearable to cut." He hates the ruthless men in the world, and also hates himself for being born 200 years late and not being able to protect his little goddess.Because you understand, you are compassionate.
