Chapter 2 Vaco Vaco, its not far

How about Vaco?Bandit ax can't. How about getting a wife?Bandits are not allowed. Vaco Vaco is not far away. My son, Yandou Youjian. On June 9, 2007, Premier Wen Jiabao watched the special exhibition of China's intangible cultural heritage at the China Millennium Monument. When talking with the inheritors of China's intangible cultural heritage, he said: "There is a saying in the book: 'Vacco, its It’s not far.” It means that when we make an ax handle, we only need to follow the shape of the ax handle passed down from our ancestors, and we can roughly resemble it. Although the handle is not the same, it has the same root. That is to say, the ax Making an axe, chopping the axe, and cutting the axe are the root and foundation of each other, which is called passing on in the same vein."

In many interviews, Premier Wen quoted the poems in the poem many times to answer reporters' questions or to express his own views.We know that it is the first collection of poems in our country. Its large number of poems describing the social life of the Zhou Dynasty opened a window for us to understand the history at that time. It has become an inexhaustible artistic treasure for the literary creation of later generations.Qu Yuan's "Li Sao", the allegorical quasi-physical poems in Han Yuefu folk songs, Li Bai's "Ancient Style", Lu You's "Bu Suanzi·Ying Mei" and the satirical works in Yuan opera and Qing opera are all the inheritance of artistic techniques And development.

Let’s look at the song “Fake” which is widely circulated in China. The old sayings mostly refer to it as “beautiful Duke Zhou. Doctor Zhou did not know how to assassinate the court.” Academia does not take.After carefully reading the whole poem, it is not difficult to find that "Fake" is actually a piece of music sung by a man at a festive wedding. The first four sentences of the poem compare Fake's ax with the matchmaker for marrying a wife, emphasizing that marriage cannot be achieved without a matchmaker.Felling, felling; Ke, ax handle.Meaning: How can I chop an ax handle?You can't chop without an axe.How to get a wife back is impossible without a matchmaker.It can be seen that an ax and a matchmaker are necessary conditions for obtaining an ax handle and forming a family.The author uses the way of asking questions, and with the help of the daily phenomenon of chopping the handle of an axe, the author explains the truth of no marriage without a matchmaker in a simple and clear way.Huang Zhuo's "Mao Shi Zheng Jianping Discussion" has a deep understanding of this: "Killing Ke Yi axe, taking a wife and a matchmaker, has the same meaning as the slang of later generations, 'When farming is a slave, when weaving is a maidservant'." Therefore, later generations use "Fake people "It is called a matchmaker, and it is called "Zuofa", "Fake" or "Zhike" to be a matchmaker.

The last four sentences of the poem compare the "Ze" of "Fake" with the "Zhizi", expressing the man's praise for his newlywed wife.Rules, rules, standards; Gou, meeting; 笾豆, bamboo food utensils; practice, neatly displayed.It means: chop the ax handle, chop the ax handle, the shape of the ax handle is right in front of you; how about my wife?It's just that she is very thoughtful about the wedding.In terms of understanding the last four sentences, the academic circle is quite puzzled by the fact that "Dou Youjian" is often interpreted as the neat and orderly arrangement of the tableware at the wedding banquet.In fact, if combined with the metaphor of the poet using the handle of the axe, it is not difficult to see that what the groom appreciates is the decent and thorough cooking of the newlywed wife.Being able to arrange the beans neatly and orderly shows the woman's care and upbringing.So the subtext of the last four sentences is that you can know how to chop the ax handle according to the shape of the ax handle, and you can know whether the bride will be a virtuous wife in the future by seeing whether she can do housework.

In the poem, "Fake Fake, it is not far away" is often quoted by later generations as a metaphor for the inheritance or development of two things.This sentence quoted by Premier Wen Jiabao, through the relationship between the ax and the handle, vividly clarifies that cultural traditions (axes with handles) and new cultural creations (new handles) have the same root and are mutually rooted The internal relationship between them not only expresses the admiration for the long history of my country's cultural heritage, but also reflects the encouragement of folk artists to inherit traditional culture.
