China's four great classical love stories

The four great ancient Chinese love stories are: Cowherd and Knowing Woman, Meng Jiangnu Weeping at the Great Wall, White Maiden Yongzhen Leifeng Tower, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, which have a long history and are created by the ancient laboring people, and are the concentration of the traditional Chinese concept of love. When I was a kid, I read this and thought it was wonderful, just purely as a myth. Nowadays, when you are in the stage of love, you can see the old things in a new way, and you will have a better understanding of the new things.

It was the Cowherd who seduced the Weaving Maiden

It was indeed the Cowherd who seduced the Weaving Maiden. The story goes that the Weaving Maiden descended to the earth to bathe in a river. The river must have been a small one in the wilderness, not the Xiangjiang-Hanshui River that flows through the town, and it must have been quiet around, so you wouldn't normally encounter people. The Weaving Maiden was the daughter of the Celestial Emperor, a young girl among the immortals - as can be seen from the fact that later on she did not have much magical power - and she was well-educated, so it is perfectly safe to assume that she was of good character, and that she came down to bathe in the mortal world only for the sake of novelty and romance, and to experience a new life, and not for the purpose of seducing a man. But unfortunately, the wilderness is still inhabited by people, and that rural ragtag youth, Cowherd, whose surname is Rascal, and whose family has a cow that has become a spirit, has instigated him to peep at the Weaving Maiden's bath and hide Cowherd's clothes. I am not afraid to speculate in the best direction for the Cowherd, so I say that he was instigated by the demonic cow and not by his own lust. As it turned out, the Weaving Maiden realized after her bath that her clothes were missing, and crouched in the water, not daring to get up, when the Cowherd appeared just in time, and after taking a look at them, he was shocked, and tried to make himself blush, and quickly covered his eyes with his hands, and his finger slits, not more than a centimeter wide, and graciously took off his own clothes--note that it could only have been a jacket and trousers--like a gentleman! --He generously took off his clothes - note that it could only be a jacket and trousers - like a gentleman, and then carefully offered them to the weaver, and accidentally touched her body, who blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment after a squeal. After that, the weaving maiden could not go back to heaven wearing a man's clothes, so she could only listen to Cowherd's "kind" persuasion, and followed him back to the cowshed. Weaving a daughter, simple and childish, to this unfamiliar, no way, coupled with the Cowherd's false love for her, everywhere to take care of the comfort, she had a good feeling about the Cowherd, but also listen to the Cowherd's. Finally, that night or a few days later, the Cowherd's was not able to return to Heaven in men's clothes. Finally, on that night or a few days later, they performed the deed of husband and wife. This is not mentioned in the legend, but it can be guessed, because later, the Weaving Maiden gave birth to three children for the Cowherd.

According to folklore, the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden seems to be so beautiful and so touching that no one has ventured to question it for thousands of years, even though the story is full of holes. If you ask me, I don't think there is any reason for the fairy-like Weaving Maiden to fall in love with an old bachelor who works at sunrise and sleeps at sunset! And she was educated by her family since childhood by the rules and ethics, it is unlikely that she was pregnant to the extent that she was sick and desperate for a cure. This is only the ancient working people's dream, is the poor people living in deep water in the spirit of support only.

After that, the Queen Mother knew about the scandal, very angry, that the uncontested daughter back to the court of heaven under house arrest. Cowherd was quite a man at this time, and went to great lengths to retrieve the Weaving Maiden, and finally had to sacrifice his buddy, the demon cow, stripped the skin off, draped it over his body, and carried two children under his armpits and one on his back, and flew up into the sky like Superman. But it was too late, there appeared in the sky a vast sea of red waves - the Milky Way, the Cowherd had to wait here, like a fool, with three children with a handful of water scooped out.

Spring flowers blossom and fall flowers wither,

Year after year, we look at each other for a long way to the water.

If the cowherd were to learn from Jingwei,

it would be possible to build a bridge over a thousand years.

So, the love story of Cowherd and Weaving Maiden should be characterized as follows: a rural raggedy Cowherd was in love with the beauty and status of the Weaving Maiden, a high-ranking cadre of children (Cowherd was dipped in the light of the Weaving Maiden's status as a high-ranking cadre of children, and from a rural raggedy youth became a thousand years immortal, and is still in the sky today), and took advantage of the Weaving Maiden's simplicity and naivety, and devised a series of traps to trick the Weaving Maiden to come back home and take a wife and have children. The weaving maiden was cheated at the beginning, by the cowherd's meticulous care, may have a good feeling about the cowherd, but she found the cowshed hidden since the lost clothes, everything is understood, once angry, but, what can be done, the stomach have his flesh and blood. Still resigned to fate, besides the cowherd, in addition to poor, to self or can, especially self by the heavenly soldiers and generals to take away, he also later frantic like crying, chasing. Although you seduced me, but at the moment your actions show that you still love me, this life has you He lonely. It is also the weaving maiden begged for mercy, the Queen Mother to allow them to build a bridge by magpies every year, to see each other. This kind of love is not a gentleman, Xiao Hun also not for.

Plain countryside love

Meng Jiangnu is the daughter of a large rural family, to put it bluntly, is a family backing a good village girl. Fan Alder Liang was a scholar who escaped from the compulsory labor - at that time, the compulsory labor was to repair the Great Wall, and his education level was junior high school graduation, and he did not make a good living, or how would he have been on the top of the compulsory labor? Fan Alder Liang fled from the disaster and was rescued by Meng Jiangnu, so he temporarily stayed at Meng Jiangnu's house. At that time, it was totally different from now, now there are more men than women, but at that time, all the men went to war or to work as voluntary laborers, and there were not many men in the countryside, so Meng Jiangnu could not find a suitable match, and the ones who did have a man were either old men or small children, or they lacked arms and legs. But she is an older girl is not married, at that time is to be made fun of, so a see Fan Alder Liang a talented, dignified, and cultured, with the old father a discussion, by the words of the matchmaker, the Fan Alder Liang recruited as a husband. This is a typical rural matchmaking, similar to the modern one. Fan Alder Liang also agreed, what's not to agree, but also overjoyed. Fan Xiliang nature honest and shy, more than twenty years old has not yet found a girlfriend, and do not know how to find a girlfriend, if then his mother and then not introduce him to go on a blind date, may play a lifetime bachelor. So, married, and then fell in love. Love is beautiful and short-lived, on the honest, sentimental Fan Alder Liang is so, on Meng Jiangnu, a woman's family, but even more so.

2 Re: interpretation of the four great love stories of ancient China

Less than three days after their marriage, Fan Alder Liang was finally caught by the police who were arresting voluntary laborers and sent to a distant construction site - on the Great Wall - to move bricks. This is a shocking thunderbolt to a village girl who just got married less than three days ago. Alas, her husband is considered to be working after marriage, which is basically the way it is in poor rural areas after more than 2,000 years. But this is a voluntary labor, and the odds are against it. Meng Jiangnu cried and hoped all day long! However, after a year of waiting, not only did she not expect to see her husband, but she also did not expect to hear from him. The woman was so worried about her husband that she made him clothes for several nights and went to the Great Wall to look for him.

After a lot of hard work, she finally arrived at the Great Wall. However, after asking around, Fan Alder Liang, as an intellectual, was used as a migrant laborer and died of exhaustion, and his body was buried underneath the Great Wall as a foundation stone. Hearing this sad news, Meng Jiangnu slapped her hand on the Great Wall and wept bitterly. She cried so much that the sun and the moon did not shine, the sky and the earth were dark, and she cried so much that the winds of autumn wailed sadly and the sea raised its waves. Crying wow, crying wow, suddenly a loud bang, the Great Wall like the sky collapsed like a big section of the collapse, revealing a pile of human bones. She bit her middle finger, dripping blood to recognize the corpse. Yu Jiangnu guarded the bones of Zhan Guan, and cried to the heavens and earth, weeping to the ghosts and gods.

Built a city for the mountains and rivers in the chaotic world, ten thousand men were tortured and left a song of hatred;

The Qin Emperor's ferocity planted evil consequences, Meng Jiang's infatuation is willing to suffer;

Thousands of miles of searching for her husband's feet are worn out, weeping down the Great Wall of heaven and earth stunned;

Reviewed the fire of the past and present dust and destiny, and when it is prosperous and when it is extinguished, it is resistant to chanting.

Meng Jiangnu and Fan Alder Liang, plainly meet, plainly talk about the blind date, plainly married, plainly in love, before the marriage, there is nothing to love sensationally, love to death, after the marriage, but so much in love with each other, so that even the myth of the Great Wall of 10,000 miles will never fall down in front of her emotionally charged crying, a blow and broken. They do not get along with the days are not long, and love is very deep, usually very plain, once encountered a big event, love outbreak, its power can be through the ghosts and gods, its power from what? In the final analysis, it is the conservative and simple concept of love and ethics in the countryside. Of course, this kind of love is not very reliable. But this kind of love model, worth every rural youth to learn. Xiao Hun was very lucky to find the person he would spend his life with before he went on a blind date, so I don't fall into this category.

Returning in kind - unreliable love

An innocent boy, Xu Xian, in a chance encounter, inadvertently saves the life of a young girl, Bai Suzhen, who has a certain social background and power, and who has to continue to train in martial arts, so that her power can be enlarged and stabilized.

White Suzhen is really a person who values love and justice, and knows how to repay kindness. She is really thankful to Xu Xian, who saved her unintentionally back then. Later, she completed her training, and in order to repay the kindness of saving her life, she hid her background and married Xu Xian. Xu Xian is an honest man, there is such a beautiful woman to the door voluntarily as a wife, how not to, joyfully bring her home. Honest people generally have no brains, Xu Xian also do not think about the causes and consequences of the encounter, the world where there is such a cheap thing, white send a beautiful wife, thought the sky really fall pie ah, fortunately, white Suzhen is to pay back the favor, if the revenge of the or temporarily to find a place of concealment, that Xu Xian is finished. That white Suzhen is really, is not to save a life, and that is Xu Xian inadvertently save, Xu Xian that year, there is no save her mind, save her that move with a bubble of urine a little sparse, even if there is a heart, and a bit of effort to save her, in the view of Xu Xian, only to save a small animal only. So for Xu Xian, this is a matter of saving lives, turn your head and forget. But Bai Suzhen always let Xu Xian save a life, she really do not want to be scolded as ungrateful, although ungrateful does not necessarily have to be negative, but know the kindness must be to repay, this is her philosophy of life. So she does not care how her identity background, she must repay Xu Xian, this kind of repayment, not to give money to the power, but since the whole person, the whole body, since everything, that is, to the body. As the saying goes, you respect me a foot, I respect you a ten feet, but Bai Suzhen this "ten feet", is really too high.

Later Xu Xian knew the real identity of Bai Suzhen, scared, do not dare to interact with him, and after others compulsion, left her, and was Bai Suzhen's rival Fa Hai house arrest, as a bait to lure Bai Suzhen out of the hole. Bai Suzhen tries by all means to get Xu Xian back, and does whatever she can to that end, flooding the Jinshan Temple and committing a major crime, and is eventually taken in by Fa Hai in the name of the People's Police and put in jail. This is a modern interpretation of the Legend of the White Snake.

This is a modern interpretation of the story of the White Snake, as evidenced by a poem by an unknown person on the Internet:

The thousand-year-old snake is in love with a man, and he borrows an umbrella to talk about his love affair.

However, the heavens have no love for us, and the water is filling San Francisco to break our vows.

Being a six-armed man, he suffered a lot, but he didn't want to be separated in front of Thunder Peak.

Dare to ask what is the heart of the green? The myths of the past and present are beautifully known.

This kind of repayment of love, is not worth advocating, this idea, more foolish. First of all, the body hair, received by the parents, thoughts and virtues, the formation of the latter. The body and the mind are the most basic things necessary for a person, the most valuable thing for a person, what kind of favor is worth to give it all. Secondly, the giver of a favor is generally not seeking to repay, and if you do not repay the favor, it is justifiable with him, but if you have a bad conscience about it, you can seek other ways of repaying the favor, or even your own life (which is also very precious). Moreover, love is sacred and cannot be blasphemed. If there is no love foundation, to give oneself in return for a favor is a kind of spiritual tastelessness and even torture for oneself.

3 Re: Interpretation of the Four Great Love Stories of Ancient China

Undoubtedly Bai Suzhen is lucky, because Xu Xian is an honest man, a decent person, and she already has her own skills, so she didn't suffer much, and they are very much in love as a couple. Xu Xian is also basically considered lucky, although Bai Suzhen has a background, had scared self half dead, destroyed self peaceful life, but in the end, Bai Suzhen is love him, this kind of love beyond the gratitude.

One day of husband and wife, a hundred days of grace, love. Love is always the theme in love life, and grace is auxiliary. This reasoning, Xiao Hunting certainly understands.

The model of a thousand years of love

This a beautiful, poignant and moving love story.

Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhejiang Shangyu County, Zhu Jiazhuang, Yushui River, there is a wish the daughter of the foreigner Yingtai, beautiful and intelligent, since childhood with the brother of the study of poetry and literature, admiration for Ban Zhao, Cai Wenji's talent, hate the family without a good teacher, so the girl disguised as a man, far away from Hangzhou to study. On the way, she met Liang Shanbo, a scholar from Huiji, who went to Hangzhou to study, and they became friends at first sight, and read each other very happily, and they made a handful of earth as incense on the grass bridge pavilion, and tied up with each other in friendship. Not a day later, the two came to Hangzhou City, Wan Song College, to pay homage to the teacher enrollment. From then on, the same window *** read, inseparable. Liang Zhu classmates for three years, love is as deep as the sea. Yingtai y love Shanbo, but Shanbo always do not know she is a woman, only the idea of brotherly love, and no special feelings. The father of the wish to miss his daughter, urging the return of very urgent, Yingtai had to hastily return to their hometown. Liang Zhu parted, reluctant to part. On the way to see each other off, Yingtai constantly borrows objects to caress her feelings, suggesting love. Shan Bo is so loyal and simple that he doesn't understand why. Yingtai had no choice but to lie that her family's ninth sister, with a character and appearance similar to their own, willing to matchmaking for Shanbo, but Liang Shanbo's family was poor and failed to come as expected, and only when Shanbo went to Zhu's house to propose to him, did he realize that Yingtai was a woman, and it was the ninth sister he had mentioned before. But when Shan Bo went to the Zhu family to propose to them, he realized that Yingtai was a woman, the Ninth Sister as mentioned earlier. The beautiful marriage has become a shadow of its former self. The two of them met on the terrace of the building, and said goodbye with tears in their eyes. Before parting, made a vow: life can not be with the bed, also want to die with the cave! Later, Shan Bo became sick with depression and died soon after. Yingtai heard the sad news of Shanbo, vowed to die. When Yingtai was forced to get married, she made a detour to Liang Shanbo's grave to pay her respects. In Zhu Yingtai's mourning, the storm and thunderstorms were so strong that the grave burst, and Yingtai jumped into the grave, and the grave was reunited, and the wind and rain cleared up, and the rainbow was suspended high above the grave, and Liang and Zhu were transformed into butterflies, which danced and fluttered on the earth.

There is one issue that must be clarified. That is: how did Liang Shanbo's love for Zhu Yingtai come about? During the three years of schoolmates, Liang Shanbo did not know Zhu Yingtai's identity as a girl, and has always cared for Zhu Yingtai like a little brother, he only has the feelings of brothers and classmates for her, and there is no love, and his love, and only hope on a blind date (as can be seen from the introduction of Zhu Yingtai's family's little ninety-nine sisters). And Zhu Yingtai in the slow process of getting along, fell in love with Liang Shanbo, but in the way of the status quo, embarrassed to confess out, despite the eighteen phases to the Changting, along the way, Zhu Yingtai said many cryptic expressions of her identity and love for Liang Shanbo, but Liang Shanbo as an honest and decent person, and did not want to think of that place to go, but just feel that Zhu brothers today is very strange and perverted. When Liang Shanbo was introduced to Xiao Jiumei (actually Zhu Yingtai self), he was so excited that his long-hidden love burst out all of a sudden. After parting with the Zhu brothers, he must think left and right, tossing and turning, silly in the smile, sitting in a daze, waiting for the day of meeting with the little nine sisters matchmaking, so, although they have not met, but there is a well-known love with the passage of time, with the pile of love more and more fiery up. But once he learned that Zhu Yingtai is a daughter, that little nine sister is Zhu Yingtai himself, although surprised, but remembered that in the school Zhu Yingtai all kinds of form of different and long pavilion to send when the strange words, he all of a sudden understand, Zhu Yingtai to self love how deep. And at this moment, that also no longer Zhu Yingtai as a brother, Zhu Yingtai in his mind the image of a sudden change over, and her love for the "little nine sisters", all transferred to Zhu Yingtai this girl to go. This kind of transformation, not awkward, not too much psychological impact. Those feelings in the previous school, did not become an obstacle to the formation of today's love, on the contrary, is the formation of today's love of the essential accumulation.

The love of Liang Zhu is the most perfect of the four great love stories of ancient China. Because the four great love stories are all tragedies, we will not discuss the outcome, but only the formation and maintenance of love. Liang Zhu has three years of getting along with the bonding time, although this period, Liang has been put Zhu as a boy, but the girl never again 么装也不像, but more like a girl, just Liang silly, did not see, so Zhu in the mind of Liang's image is still good. Afterwards, Liang Shanbo suddenly realized, before the brotherly love all of a sudden changed into the love of men and women. So from Zhu Yingtai pointing out her identity three minutes later counting - three minutes is to give time for Liang Shanbo to adapt to - they have three years of love history. And both know the book, understand each other, especially Zhu Yingtai deep love, has long been y in love with Liang Shanbo, Liang Shanbo honest, but also y in love with the little nine sisters (Zhu Yingtai), so the love, is not it solid? Xiao hunting love, with Liang Zhu has a few similar, are classmates colleagues, the only difference is that there is no Ma Wencai from the obstruction. No matter whether there is Ma Wencai or not, the result is expected to be a comedy.

The moon is white, the wind is clear, and the flowers attack people, the screen window and the green lamp through the double shadow.

There are no words in the appendices, but the sound of reading is still heard in the west building.

We are always with you in the storm, and we are always on the same path with each other.

The two of them are not in love with each other, and they are soulmates.

They have been together for a few years, and they are not aware of the fact that Yingtai is a daughter.

When the lotus flower comes out of the water, we will realize the bitterest love for each other.

The handsome Confucian scholar is a kind of wind and flow, and the slender jasper is also sentimental.

We often meet in front of flowers and in the moonlight, and we make an alliance with each other on the mountain and the sea.

The jade people have no intention of doing anything, how many marriages can be made with golden jade?

Matchmaker's words and parents' destiny, the two lovebirds were beaten by a stick.

What is the meaning of "love" in the world, and what is the meaning of "love" in the world?

This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world who has been in love with a woman, and I've never seen her in the same way.

They will not be able to keep up with each other in life and death, but they will be able to walk with each other on the road to the Yellow Springs.

The two of them will dance like butterflies, and they will love each other.
