full moon 林清玄 1781Words 2018-03-18
At Li Wei's university graduation ceremony, a mysterious old woman gave him a gold watch and said to him: "I'm waiting for you." Then she disappeared from the crowd. After many investigations, Li Wei found the person. The residence of the old woman, but the old woman died on the night of his graduation ceremony. Eight years later (1979), Li Wei became a playwright. One day he went to an old-fashioned hotel for vacation. In the lobby, he saw a portrait of a female star taken in 1912.After Li Wei inquired, he found out that this beautiful woman 60 years ago turned out to be the mysterious old woman who gave him the gold watch eight years ago.

In order to fulfill the oath of "I'm waiting for you" eight years ago, Li Wei hypnotized with his own will, and finally went back to 1912 to have a lingering love with the young Jane Seymour, which surpassed six years. In the ten years of time and space, love has radiated a shocking light with the transformation of time and space. The ending is that Li Wei unintentionally took out a 1979 silver coin from his pocket, and the time flew forward for sixty years, and the wind and wind dispersed, and a tragedy that transcended time and space with true love finally came to an end. This story is the stuff of the movie "Somewhere in Time". The plot is simple and moving, but there is a very complicated problem in it, that is, the problem of "love" and "time". At the beginning of the story, it is almost certain that "true love" can surpass The limitation of "time" made the audience look forward to it; but in the end, true love was finally no match for the passage of time, leaving behind a touching tragedy.

"Can love be immortal through time?" This is a big question asked by philosophers and writers throughout the ages, but there is no definite answer left in history.Each of us can almost find a love story that transcends time and space, such as "Romeo and Juliet" written by Shakespeare, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu written by Cao Xueqin, Amand and Marguerite written by Alexandre Dumas, Shen San Yun Niang in Bai's pen, Charlotte in Goethe's pen, and even the Bai Niang Niang and Xu Xian, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in folklore... It can be said that it is bustling, and it is easy to find.

The problem is that these immortal loves from ancient times show almost two faces, one is the face of tragedy, which is charming and sad; the other is the face of imagination, which is illusory and unorthodox of.Is love in this world like this?The answer is naturally no. We assume that there are two kinds of love in the world, "happy" and "broken". Obviously, happy love often disappears under the washing of time and space, while love that can be passed down from generation to generation and touches tears often ends in tragedy. .This really corresponds to an old Chinese saying "a loving couple will not last long".

The love stories handed down to future generations flash in an instant and then go out in an instant. Only in this way can they "turn a century of sorrow and laughter into an instant", making us feel that that instant is precious and eternal.In fact, is "a moment" really equal to "eternity"?So many lovers who have been entangled throughout the ages, are they safe now?Are those eternal loves used by writers and artists to deceive the world who yearn for love? In the summer night, I read the books in the wind eaves exhibition, and read "Reminiscence of Blowing Xiao on the Phoenix Terrace" by He Shuangqing, a poet of the Qing Dynasty. There are such footnotes on love:

Zimo's love for spring, wrapped in spring gauze all over the forehead, Self-paid spring plowing, small plums are thin in spring, and fine grass is bright in spring. Spring is spring every step of the way. Remember the good spring of that year, and tell Chunying about the love of spring. Up to now, thinking of spring notes and tears, all of them have turned into spring ice. Lian Chun Pain Chun Chun? Locked up by a cloud of spring smoke. Give Chunyi as a gift, hand over Chun to you, Yiyi is your Chunling. Counting the beginning of spring and the end of spring, it is difficult to count spring dream and spring awakening.

Even the devil of spring, having a dream of spring, misses both of you in spring! This word is full of spring words, and it reads like a crescent eyebrow and a thousand hearts.He Shuangqing used spring to symbolize two levels. The first level is to use spring to symbolize the magnificence and ungraspability of love.The second level is the time sequence that symbolizes love. Even if you remember the good spring that year, it turned into spring ice in a blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace. Everyone is like Meng Jiao's poem at the beginning of love, hoping that "heart to heart, love will be deep", "sit and walk will also be married, and it will last for a hundred years"; Bowl of heartless tears", "Re-examine the pomegranate skirt in another year" (Su Manshu).All kinds of changes in space and the test of time have made me deeply aware that if love is a flower, where is there a flower that never fades?If love is a gorgeous rainbow, how can there be a rainbow that never fades in the world?If love is a song, how can there be a song that is always sung in the world?

In the distant past, "love" is like a river, flowing through ourselves and around us. Sometimes we feel that we have grasped it firmly with both hands, and if we are negligent, it has plunged into the sea. There is no trace. This is a sad experience that everyone has had. Even if we can turn around and turn back time and return to the beginning of the river, it still has to rush forward, and it cannot last forever. I am almost pessimistic about love in this world, and this pessimism is obtained by competing with the eternally changing quality of "time".Because of the pessimistic foundation I always have, I can maintain a calm mind in the shock——Since "love" and "time" cannot coexist, we have two ways to deal with it: one is to be happy with life and not to be happy with love, Not for love.The second is to try to grasp it at that moment, regardless of the future. "Knowledge is where it is; spring water is clear when it is in the mountains." ①As long as you keep the understanding of the place and the mood of being on the mountain, go back to

What's the difference between sixty years ago, or just going forward in the chronological deduction? "Time travel" is just a dream of human infatuation! ①Master Hongyi presented Master Huiquan with a couplet, engraved in Huiquan cemetery in Xiamen —September 19, 1981
