Chapter 34 There are few willows blowing on the branches, and there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world

I casually flipped through Su Shi's collection of Ci, and read the words "Flowers fade, red and green apricots are small, when swallows fly, green water surrounds people. There are few willows blowing on the branches, and there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world", but I can always surpass Su Shi. , Think of Wang Chaoyun. It was Hu Lancheng, mentioned lightly in "Life and Death".He started to write, "Su Shi was demoted to the south, and Chaoyun followed him." The eight words are as meaningful as tears.There is no need to look any further, this flirtatious man, with such a light brush stroke, has already made me sad.

How could he not remember that Chaoyun was a woman who sang fans and danced sleeves as he said.The first encounter between Dongpo and Chaoyun West Lake should have happened in the fourth year of Shenzong Xining.Dongpo was relegated to Hangzhou Tongjuan, an assistant official, who was only in charge of adjudicating cases, and his official duties were not heavy.In his spare time, he is good at landscapes, and he goes sightseeing with his friends, drinking banquets and composing poems.Dongpo, who is free and unrestrained by nature, lived happily in the beautiful mountains and waters of Hangzhou.One day, at a banquet, he met the graceful and graceful Wang Chaoyun.His wife's surname is always Wang, perhaps, he really has a deep relationship with the Wang family.

At that time, she was still described as young, only twelve years old.Due to a poor family background, she was reduced to a singing and dancing class since she was a child. Although she is not tall enough, she does not have a natural romantic attitude.He was fascinated, as if he had seen this woman a long time ago.Due to his identity and it's not easy to show too clearly, he just smiled lightly, but there was always a ray of entanglement in his mind, and he was worried. The cruise ship resumed the banquet, and he saw her again. "Among thousands of people in thousands of years, only this young man is him, and only this woman is her. They can't choose." This sentence should be applied to Chao Yun.Feel sorry!This time, his eyes could no longer be separated from her in plain makeup.A friend saw the way and asked him to compose a poem, but he blurted out——

The water is shimmering and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy.If you compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are suitable for both. ——Su Shi "Drinking the Lake after the First Eyes and the Rain" My friends shouted wonderfully, and understood their meaning.Then someone secretly bought Chaoyun and sent it to the Su residence.At this time, Chao Yun was still confused, she was too young to understand the mystery of these grown-ups dragging their words.But a few years later, under the training of Su Shi and Mrs. Su, she became a "Mrs. Ru" who knew words and meanings.That year, Su Dongpo was a middle-aged man of forty years old.

Volume 5 of "Ci Lin Chronicle" quotes "Lin Xia Ci Tan" saying: "Zizhan is in Huizhou, sitting idle with (Paternal Concubine) Chaoyun. At that time, the young girl first arrived, and the fallen trees were rustling. It was sad and sad. Ming Chaoyun Put the big white, sing "the flowers fade to the red", and Chaoyun's voice will sing, and tears will fill his clothes. Zizhan questioned the reason, and replied: "The one who can't sing is that there are few willows blowing on the branches, and there is no fragrance anywhere in the world." Grass" too! Zizhan laughed and said, "It's me who is mourning the autumn, but you are sad for the spring.'"

It is easy to understand this passage translated into vernacular, saying that Su Shi and his concubine Chaoyun were sitting idle in the garden.At the time when the first autumn frost was falling and the fallen leaves were rustling, Su Shi felt sad for autumn, and ordered Chaoyun to bring wine, and sang the phrase "Butterfly Love Flower·Flower Fade to Remnant Red".As soon as Chao Yun opened his mouth, tears filled his clothes before he sang.Su Shi asked her why she was sad, Chao Yun said: "I am most afraid of singing the words 'there are few willows blowing on the branches, and there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world' in the lyrics. It is too hurtful to touch the scene." Su Shi laughed: "I am sad. Autumn, but you are hurting spring."

How can she not be sad?She sang "Butterfly Love Flower" sadly, because she experienced the mixed feelings of broad-mindedness and sentimentality contained in it.It is the people who know how open-minded and gentle he is, who feel sad for him.He really didn't deserve to suffer like this.Chaoyun treats Zizhan just as Daiyu treats Baoyu.It is said in the world that Daiyu loves to cry, but they don't know that her tears are always shed for Baoyu's pity, not for herself.Zhao Yun also thought the same way.I think Zizhan understood. Soon, Chaoyun died of illness, and Su Shi stopped listening to this poem for the rest of his life.

At that time, Song Zhezong had already been in charge of the government, appointed Zhang Dun as the prime minister, and a new official was in power, so a group of ministers with different political views were relegated.Su Dongpo was also among them, and was demoted to Huizhou, the land of the southern barbarians.At this time he was almost sixty years old.Seeing the turn of fortune, it is rare to have any hope of recovery, and many servants, concubines, concubines around her have all dispersed one after another.Only Chaoyun remained the same, following Dongpo on a long journey, over mountains and ridges to Huizhou.

For this, the affectionate Su Shi has always kept it in his heart, but he did not express it in words, because husband and wife are such an ordinary day, and ordinary two people do not need to thank each other.It is also said by people that the world is like this, all the flowers and waves are exhausted, and the only thing we know each other is life.It wasn't until one day that he read Bai Juyi's poems that he proudly revealed his scheming—— It's not like poplars not happy with the sky, just like Tongde with Lingyuan; Anuluoxiu is not old, and there is no female Vimo who always explains Zen.

The new work of the scripture medicine furnace, the old marriage of the dancing shirt and singing board; Dancheng chased me to the three mountains; don't be a cloud and rain fairy in Wushan. The preface of this poem says: "There are several concubines in Yu's family, and they resigned one after another in four or five years. Du Chaoyun moved south with Yu. Because of reading Lotte's poems, I wrote this as a gift." While the husband and wife talked and laughed and joked, Zizhan was satisfied and grateful It seems to be visible. This girl who came in at the age of twelve has served him by his side for decades.When he was most proud, when he was most unlucky, he swore to live and die together.In the face of a husband who is much older than himself, what is Chaoyun's life and death if it is not based on unforgettable respect and love?Although she is very intelligent, she can be his Xieyuhua, his "like wife", so why isn't he a man who has been around for a hundred years, and a talented person with outstanding talents?

A man without talent will never be liked and respected by women.Men don't always talk about women's materiality. When women are pure, they are also fairy dews, and they don't touch common things.Looking at it as a man, do you have the ability to make a woman die? After Chaoyun's death, Su Shi buried her in the West Lake of Huizhou, and built a "Liu Ru Pavilion" beside the tomb to accompany her beauty.Although he was not buried with her, I think Chaoyun has no complaints.Since love transcends life and death, why care about false fame?She and him are husband and wife who have known each other for life and death, and they are also confidants who are harder to find than lovers. Some people say that Su Dongpo is a man of temperament who "never betrays his feelings", and I deeply agree.So he has many concubines, and I also think he is an infatuated person.If you take monogamy as a measure, Su Shi is not justified not only morally, but also legally today. I am afraid that he will inevitably be suspected of buying children privately. It's feeling not emotion.He never betrays feelings.After Wang Fu died of illness, Su Shi continued to marry, but still planted 30,000 pine and cypress seedlings on the hill where Wang Fu was buried to accompany the green tomb.He has a longing for her, and he will never forget it every year.Writing lyrics to mourn death is also magnanimous.He planted 30,000 pines and cypresses with his own hands. Of those so-called unlucky literati, which one has such a leisurely heart?Songtao heard, I am Wang, and I should sleep peacefully in the ground.After the death of his continuation wife, Wang Shi, he no longer married.More than ten years later, his younger brother Su Ziyou buried him and Wang Runzhi together, fulfilling his oath to her "to die in the same cave". "Ten years of life and death are boundless, don't think about it, and you will never forget it." Dongpo and Nalan Rongruo are very similar in the mourning of death in words, but he is more optimistic than Rongruo, and he understands that the dead are long-lived and alive. The reason why the reader should be optimistic. Looking at his poems for entertaining courtesans, they are also dignified and respectful, light and charming but not frivolous, and his intentions are completely different from those of the literati and poets in the Song Dynasty.In addition to the well-known "Calm the Storm: This Peace of Mind is My Hometown" written by him for Rou Nu, another song "Mulan Flower" also has other sources. Zheng Zhuang is hospitable and honors me.The style of pen and ink is very famous.The mountains are white in the morning, and the skin of Yingxue is so old.From then on in Nanxu, the lake is full of breeze and moon on a good night. —— "Magnolia Flower" This is his borrowed lyrics for singers Zheng Rong and Gao Ying to plead for love to get out of their hometowns, which is the pioneer of "Tibetan Ci".Such Su Shi, compared with Zhu Xi, a master of Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty who kept saying "loyal to the emperor and love the people", "preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires", but threatened the famous prostitute Yan Rui to frame others for his own selfishness, his character is superior or inferior. There should be a story that people seldom mention, Su Shi's first love.I saw it and recorded it together.His cousin, a woman whose name has not been left in history, is only called "cousin" or "little second mother" in Dongpo's poems.During the funeral of his grandfather Su Xu, she appeared. Su Shi fell in love with her at first sight, but the fate was shallow and they could not be together.This cousin later married Liu Zhongyuan, a scholar who liked to collect paintings and calligraphy, and lived in Jingjiang. When Su Shi was an official in Hangzhou and later in exile, he visited her and wrote poems for her—— The return of shame should be the negative flowering period, and it is already the time when the shade is bearing fruit. I feel sorry for my old age with few things, and send spring without hatred for Lai Jun's poems. There is no morning wine on the jade platform, and the golden thread is still singing and breaking branches. From then on, they met each other every year, and asked Fan Chi if he wanted to be a teacher. Mr. Lin Yutang thinks this poem is a typical "love poem", which can be regarded as Dongpo's tender memory of the lover in his dream when he was young.Later, when the cousin died, Su Shi bluntly said that he "separated his feelings" and "cut his heart like a knife".I really like Dongpo's unrestrained sincerity.He has a heart of respect, love and pity for those around him. Such a man deserves to be loved by women, and is worthy of being touched by women from time to time after thousands of years. Good men and good women should be loved and cared for. His feelings for his cousin are as lofty as a complex, and he can boast of himself.In the world of mortals, many people have met, lost, misunderstood, and missed out. Therefore, people who are still missed wholeheartedly when they are old are not available to everyone, so it is an opportunity.It's as if someone sighed that he liked a woman back then, but that woman was someone else's girlfriend, and he was embarrassed to confess, and he didn't even have the heart to fight for it. At that time, he was still a pawn. The man broke up, and he gradually became famous, but he and her missed it after all!For so many years, she has always been his love complex, but he is also a good man praised by everyone. Su Shi wrote her epitaph, which is only a few hundred words long. When Chaoyun came to my house, she has treated me wholeheartedly for fifteen years. She is a polite person. She came to Huizhou with me. She died in the Sixth Verse of the Diamond Sutra, and I was buried here with her. In addition, how beautiful and intelligent she was born, the feeling of her life experience, and the words of mourning for her death, she did not mention a word.When I was hiding in Yandang Mountain, I read it in Su Cizong's case, and I burst into tears unknowingly. ——Let’s end with Hu Lancheng’s words, this man, no matter what others say about him, it’s still hard to reduce my affection for him.This is impossible.
