A love that consumes everything, what do you mean you can go home slowly?

"A love that consumes everything, you can go home slowly"-flowers are blooming on the field path, so you can come back later.

Source of works

It is a seven-character quatrain written by Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. The first part is an overview of Wu people's song "Flowers on the Stranger". The second song is about Princess wuyue's spring return to Lin 'an. The third laments Yue's defection to Song State. The three poems lament the rise and fall of the wuyue dynasty in a tortuous way, with nostalgia and historical nature, feeling the wealth and splendor of the world, the fleeting clouds and the clouds of fame and fortune, just like grass dew and flowers in the street, which disappeared in an instant. The language of the three poems is elegant and meaningful, and the poetry is sad.

Related allusions

Princess Dai is the original match of Qian Liu, a peasant girl in Langbi Village, Hengxi. Dai is the daughter of a famous wife and mother in the village. After marrying Qian Liu, she followed Qian Liu to the north and south, and spent half her life in fear. Later, she became the mother of a country. Although I left my hometown at a young age, I still can't get rid of the local plot and my parents. I will go back to my parents' home for a period of time every spring to visit and serve my parents. Qian Liu is also a man of temperament, and he is the wife who misses this scum the most. Dai's family has lived at home for a long time, and he wants to send her a letter: either missing or greeting, but also urging. In the past, Lin 'an had to cross a hurdle from Langya, with steep peaks on one side and rushing Tunxi on the other. Qian Liu was afraid that Diana's sedan chair was unsafe and inconvenient to walk, so she set aside money, sent people to pave the road and added railings on the roadside. Later, the mountain was renamed as "Langanling".

That year, Diana went to Longbi's house again. Qian Liu was in charge of political affairs in Hangzhou. One day, when she walked out of the palace gate, she saw that at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain, BLACKPINK had appeared on the shore of the West Lake, which was colorful. When I think that I haven't seen Mrs. Dai for many days, I can't help thinking about her again. When I returned to the palace, I began to write a letter. Although it is a few words, it is sincere and meticulous. There is a sentence: "A exhausted love, you can go home slowly."

original work

Three flower poems about strangers

[Song] Su Shi

Visiting Jiuxian Mountain, I heard that children's songs are rusty and my father is old. Princess wuyue returns to Lin 'an every spring. Wang Yishu said: "A exhausted love, you can pay it back slowly." Wu people regard their own language as a song, full of thoughts, and it is sad to listen. And its vulgar words are the clouds of Yi.

one

An all-consuming love butterfly flies, and Jiangshan is still a past tense.

After several dying struggles, Long Ge, a wandering girl, slowly returned.

Secondly,

There are countless bloom in the mountains, and passers-by compete to see Cui.

If you want to keep open, come back from teaching slowly.

third

When I was alive, I was a rich grass head, and I was always behind.

I have been delayed in going to Shandong, and I want to teach my concubine to return home slowly.

Translation of works

When I visited Jiuxian Mountain, I heard the local children's song "Flowers on the Stranger". The villagers said: The wife of King Qian Liu of wuyue must return to Lin 'an every spring. The king of money sent a letter to the princess, saying, "The flowers are blooming in the field path. You can come back later." Wu people composed these words into songs, which contained euphemistic and touching feelings and made people sad. However, its lyrics are vulgar and shallow, so it was replaced and became the following three poems.

one

Flowers bloom in the field path, butterflies fly among the flowers, and the mountains and rivers remain unchanged. The old owner has changed.

A few years in the Spring and Autumn Period, the adherents are getting old, and the wandering dragon song is slowly returning.

Secondly,

Flowers are in full bloom on the field path, and pedestrians on the road are scrambling to watch the float coming.

If you want to keep this beautiful spring flower, just listen to Qian Wang's advice for the time being and don't rush back.

third

Prosperity before death is like dew on the grass tip, and romance after death is like spring flowers on the field path.

Qian Wang, you have left Hangzhou for the Song Dynasty. You should teach your wife not to rush home from strangers.

Creation background

Three Flowers on a Stranger was written in Xining, Song Shenzong in the sixth year (1073). At this time, the author made a short stay in Hangzhou on business and wrote these three poems.

works appreciation

The first part is an overview of Wu people's song "Flowers on the Stranger". The first sentence is about the scene in front of us: in spring, bloom flowers fall and butterflies dance. This charming spring scenery is no different from the scene when Princess wuyue goes back to Lin 'an every spring. However, with the passage of time, the wuyue Dynasty has already perished, and Princess wuyue no longer exists, leaving only sad stories and legends. Therefore, the second sentence follows the first sentence closely, and the result is that "Jiangshan is still the wrong person", and the scenery in front of us is linked with the people who have become the past. In contrast, it gives people a feeling that "the mountains and rivers are still there, and the personnel are no longer there". Three or four sentences focus on Wu people's song "Flowers on the Stranger". Despite the wuyue dynasty! The adherents are getting old, but the girls are still singing "Flowers on the Stranger" in a long voice to express their memory and grief for the princess. From this, it can be seen that "Flowers on the Stranger" is widely circulated among the people in Wu, and it has strong vitality.

The second song is about Princess wuyue's spring return to Lin 'an. Spring has come, and countless flowers on strangers' streets are competing for beauty. As usual, the princess came to Lin 'an in a gorgeous jade chariot, attracting passers-by to watch. The poet used "mountain flowers" and "jasper" to set off the beauty of the princess's youth, and also used "passers-by competing to see" to highlight the grand occasion of the princess's return, revealing the calm atmosphere once possessed by the wuyue Dynasty. Three or four sentences are function words. This means that if she can stay young, the princess can "come back slowly" according to Wu Wangyue's instructions and enjoy the beautiful spring scenery in Lin 'an. "Openness" refers to youth. Tang Xueneng said in a poem: "Youth carries me on my back, and white hair destroys people and makes them die." Youth, pun intended, means youth and spring. In Du Fu's "The Yellow River is Recovered by the Imperial Army", he said, "Harmony makes me sing and I drink, and teenagers return together." However, neither spring nor human youth can last forever. So romantic anecdotes like "a exhausted love can slowly return" will inevitably come to an end.

The third laments Yue's defection to Song State. The first two sentences are in sharp contrast: the wealth and splendor of the Yue couple before their death, like dew on the grass, are fleeting, but after their death, their romantic aftertaste is still circulating in the folk song "Flowers on the Stranger". The former is short-lived and the latter is long-lasting; The wealth of emperors has nothing to do with Wu people, but their affairs can arouse people's interest, because they contain the feelings and love factors of ordinary people and are somewhat tragic, so they are told through folk songs. In the last two sentences, although Yue has defected to the Song State and lost the respect of the emperor, he still retains the practice of "a exhausted love can be repaid slowly"; Unfortunately, the status of "princess" has been changed to "concubine", and the grand occasion of "passers-by competing to see the green chrysanthemum" will probably not appear again. Exquisite poetic taste, including the poet's affectionate and euphemistic allegory.

These three poems all run through the historical sadness of "Jiangshan is still the fault of previous lives", and turn the sadness into the lyrical tone of the author. Although the theme of the poem is the anecdote "Princess wuyue must return to Lin 'an every year", it expresses the ups and downs of the wuyue dynasty in a tortuous way, with nostalgia and historical nature. In the poem, I feel the wealth and prosperity of the world, fleeting clouds such as grass dew and fleeting flowers. All the splendor before death, like dew on the grass in the morning, will soon disappear; A good reputation left after death, like flowers on the road, will soon wither. Folk songs used to be "full of thoughts, which sounded sad". Su Shi's Flowers on the Stranger not only retains the basic content, form and simple and natural style of folk songs, but also appears elegant, meaningful and poetic. Reduplicated words, such as "drooping", "slowly", "opening" and "slowness", are often used in poetry, which not only accurately describe the modality of the characters, but also increase the sense of rhythm and musical beauty.
