Historical allusions in Three Lane of Plum Blossom

Idiom is a major feature of China traditional culture, which has a fixed structure and a fixed saying. A large part of idioms are passed down from ancient times, and they represent a story or an allusion. The following are the historical allusions I compiled for you about Meihua Sanxiang. Welcome to read, and I hope you will like it.

Plum blossom, lofty aspirations, ice muscle jade bone and lingering fragrance of cold ling have always been the objects admired by literati. "Three Nongs" in "Three Nongs of Plum Blossom" refers to playing the same tune three times over and over again, and the static and fast tune in the song is to show the plum blossom's dynamics of not being afraid of cold and swaying with the wind. This repeated treatment aims to show the heroic, unyielding personality and enterprising spirit of plum blossom in the cold wind. By praising the noble quality of plum blossom, music sets off the literati's refined and narcissistic ideological and emotional realm. Up to now, it has become a repertoire of Guqin.

The historical allusion of Three Lane of Plum Blossoms is the story of Huan Yi, a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, playing three plum blossoms for Wang Huizhi, a madman. This allusion is recorded in 51 biographies of the Book of Jin and 23 Shi Shuo Dan.

Wang Huizhi was called to Jiankang, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his ship was anchored at Qingxi Wharf. Huan Yi happened to be on the shore, but Huan Yi and Wang Huizhi didn't know each other. At this time, a guest on board said, "This is King Ye Huan (Huan Yi Ye Zi)." Wang Huizhi ordered someone to say to Huan Yi, "Wenjun Mountain plays the flute, try to play it for me." Huan Yi is a senior official at this time, but he also heard about Wang Huizhi for a long time, so he got off the boat and got on the boat. Huan Yi sat on the Hu bed, playing the flute, and playing the tune of plum blossom, which was wonderful. After playing, Huanyi immediately got on the bus and left. The two sides didn't talk a word. Jin people are broad-minded, informal and aboveboard, which shows this.

According to the Book of Jin, Huan Yi was a military commander and a general of the right army, in charge of all military affairs in Yuzhou. Perhaps it was music that cultivated his mind. Huan Yi is modest and unpretentious. He made a great contribution and never avoided it. It is because of this character that he can calm down and study music. "Book of Jin" praised him for his outstanding talent in this respect. "Being happy for a while, Jiang Zuo is the first. There is a Curtin flute, and I often play it myself. "

In the eighth year of Taiyuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 383), Fu Jian threw troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Huan Yi, then a corps commander, Xie Xuan, the top scholar general, and Xie Yan, the assistant general, defeated Fu Jian in the water (that is, the famous "Battle of Feishui" in history). Xie An, the prime minister, also went to Taibao because of his achievements in saving gold. Later, Sima Daozi, the younger brother of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty, had a power struggle with Xie An, and repeatedly vilified Xie An. Emperor Xiao of Jin had doubts about Xie An and gradually began to neglect Xie An. Huan Yi is unfair for this. At a banquet, Huan Yi played a sad song "Poem of Sorrow" for Jin Xiaodi. In the poem, he sang: "It is not easy to be a monarch and a minister, but it is difficult to be a good minister alone. Loyalty is not obvious, but there are doubts. Zhou Jinwei is unpublished. Pushing the heart to help Wang Zheng, the second uncle opposes rumors. " Its "wide range and considerable pitch". This made Emperor Xiaowu and Emperor Jinwu very ashamed. Xie An was also moved by it.

Wang Huizhi, another protagonist in Three Lane of Plum Blossoms, is the son of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, and once served as assistant minister of Huangmen. Wang Huizhi acts strangely, pretends to be detached, is brilliant, bohemian, and is an official who does nothing.

Wang Huizhi used to be a cavalry officer under General Huan Chong. Huan Chong once asked him, "Which office do you work in?" He replied, "I don't know what the official office is, but I often see a horse coming in, which seems to be Ma Su." Huan Chong asked again, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the imperial court?" He replied, "How can you know if you don't ask the number of horses?" Huan Chong asked again, "How many horses have died recently?" He replied, "If you don't know life, how can you know death?"

Wang Huizhi's answer is humorous, but they all come from different places. There was a Ma Su in the Prime Minister's House in the Western Han Dynasty, but there was no Ma Su in the army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In order to show his detachment, Wang Huizhi deliberately called Ma Su. Later, in the Song Dynasty, Lu You once wrote a poem "Dr. Wen wrote a donkey coupon, and the Ministry joined the army and sentenced Ma Su", which was the allusion of Wang Huizhi. "Don't ask the horse" in the above dialogue comes from The Analects of Confucius and industrious towns and villages. It turned out that Confucius' stable was on fire, and Confucius "didn't ask the horse", only asked if anyone was injured. "If you don't know life, how can you know death?" There is a saying, from The Analects of Confucius Advanced, the original text is "Lu Ji asked ghosts and gods, and Confucius said,' If you can't serve people, how can you serve ghosts?' Dare to ask death. Say:' If you don't know life, how can you know death? "Wang Huizhi irrelevant answer, hilarious, but every word has a history. He is resourceful, knowledgeable and admirable.

Huan Yi is gentle, while Wang Huizhi is bold and knowledgeable. Although they didn't say a word, it was a rare opportunity. It was the unexpected encounter between Huan Yi and Wang Huizhi that led to the birth of Three Lane of Plum Blossoms.
