Chapter 7 It is the love song handed down from generation to generation by the God King and the Sixth Dalai Lama Tsangyang Gyatso

I didn't see the best at all, so I didn't have to worry about it.It turns out that it doesn't matter if you are not familiar with it, it won't be so upside down. This is a love poem written by the sixth Dalai Lama Tsangyang Gyatso.This master of love songs has written hundreds of love poems. It is hard to imagine that such graceful and delicate poems can be bred in the rough and cold environment of Tibet's snowy plateau. The sixth Dalai Lama was born in the "Shannan" region known as "Tibet's Jiangnan".Shannan and Nyingchi refer to the southeastern part of the Himalayas.The Himalayas in the east-west direction suddenly turned northward, forming a huge trumpet-shaped passage with the tall Bashura Ridge. The water vapor from the Bay of Bengal drove straight in, leaving abundant rainfall here, so this land is as warm and humid as the south of the Yangtze River. This is the only place in Tibet where rice can be grown.

The sixth Dalai Lama Cangyang Jiacuo (1683-1745) is a famous figure in Tibetan history.Born in Lawo Yusong, Menyu, he was gifted and sensitive since he was a child. He once worshiped the Fifth Panchen Lama as his teacher, received precepts, and took the Dharma name Luosangren Qingcangyangjiacuo.Later, he was welcomed to the Potala Palace. Tsangyang Gyatso was born in 1683 AD in a peasant family who believed in Nyingma Buddhism in Yusong District, Menyu District, southern Tibet. In 1697, Tsangyang Gyatso was selected as the "reincarnated soul boy" of the fifth Dalai Lama. In September of that year, when he arrived in Lhasa from southern Tibet and passed through Langkazi County, he was honored as the fifth Panchen Lama Luosang Yixi (1663-1737). As a teacher, he shaved his head and received precepts, and took the dharma name Luosang Rinchen Tsangyang Gyatso.On October 25 of the same year, the enthronement ceremony was held at the Potala Palace in Lhasa, becoming the sixth Dalai Lama.Under the direct training of the famous scholar Sanjay Gyalco, he studied astronomy, calendar, medicine and literature, etc., and has a deep knowledge of poetry.At the age of twenty-five, Cangyang Jiacuo, a victim of the power struggle of the upper ruling class, began his wandering life.Has traveled around Qinghai, Gansu, Mongolia, Sichuan, U-Tsang, India, Nepal and other places.He used to be a beggar and gave away corpses, and his life was extremely difficult.

Although Tsangyang Gyatso's family has believed in Nyingma (Red Sect) Buddhism for generations, the canon of this school does not prohibit monks from marrying wives and having children.But the Gelug Sect (Yellow Sect) Buddhism to which the Dalai Lama belongs strictly prohibits monks from getting married, starting families, and getting close to women.Tsangyang Gyatso found it hard to accept this kind of clear rules.Not only did he not restrain his thoughts, words and deeds with religious rules, but instead, as a prominent religious leader, he wrote many lingering "love songs" according to his own independent thinking and will.

It is said that Cangyang Jia was killed on the way to Beijing by mistake, and his works were written before the age of twenty-five. The sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso, is a god king, a lover, and a poet.He stayed in the world, although only for a short 25 years.He stayed in the world for a short time, as if to leave these poems behind. The name "Maji Ami" is borrowed from Cang's love poems, and the 66 poems collected in the classic Lhasa Tibetan woodcut edition serve as the beginning of the chapter: On the top of the eastern mountain, a white moon was born, and the face of Maggie Ami gradually emerged in my heart

Maji Ami literally translates as "unmarried girl" and "unmarried mother"; it is said that the yellow house on Barkhor Street is the place where the girl in the poem lives, or it can be said that Tsangyang Gyatso, who travels in micro-clothes, is a young man named Dangsang. The place where Wang Bo had a tryst with his lover in the name of Wang Bo.This small yellow building exists proudly and becomes a kind of symbol. Tsangyang Gyatso's poems have been widely praised in Tibet.In the poem, there is the shyness of first acquaintance, the joy of two lovers, the regret of missing each other, the steadfastness of a mountain alliance, and the resentment of betrayal.Due to the author's specific identity, all love ultimately points to disillusionment, so the king of gods has experienced more than ordinary people the life suffering of resentment, love and parting, and the helplessness of not being able to ask and wishing not to be.However, the more so, the more it highlights the precious beauty of human love.

Now Tsangyang Gyatso's life experience is widely known. His love poems have been translated into more than 20 languages ​​and spread all over the world. There are still many new translations.Just the Chinese translations in the past hundred years, I have seen no less than seven or eight versions: there are folk song styles, five-character and seven-character styles, and modern new poetry.Influenced by derivatives, these poems also provide inexhaustible inspiration and creative resources for contemporary painters and musicians.In particular, Cang's love songs created by outstanding contemporary composers and singers are particularly charming, and the human love encouraged and blessed by Cangyang Gyatso adds divine brilliance.
