The Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You's poem "Nostalgia of Shen Yuan" Red crisp hands, yellow vine wine, the city is full of spring scenery and willows on the palace walls; The east wind is bad, the joy is thin, I am full of melancholy, and I have been away for a few years. Wrong, Wrong, wrong. Spring is as old as ever, people are empty and thin, tears stain the red city and the crocodile yarn shows through; peach blossoms fall, idle ponds and pavilions, although the mountain alliance is there, the brocade book is difficult to hold, Mo, Mo, Mo. Lu You was a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was born in a well-to-do scholarly family in Shanyang, Yuezhou. When he was a child, the Jin people invaded the south, and he often fled with his family. At this time, his maternal uncle Tang Cheng's family had many contacts with the Lu family. Tang Cheng had a daughter named Tang Wan, also known as Huixian. She was quiet and smart since she was a child, not good at words but considerate. They are very similar to Lu You, who is similar in age. The two are childhood sweethearts and have been together for a long time. Even in the chaos of war, the two young people who are not familiar with the world still spend a pure and beautiful time together. As they grew older, a lingering affection gradually grew in their hearts. In their youth, Lu You and Tang Wan were both good at poetry. They often expressed their feelings through poetry. In front of flowers and under the moon, they recited poems and sang to each other. Their beautiful figures were in pairs, like a pair of colorful butterflies fluttering among the flowers, and their eyebrows were filled with happiness. harmonious. The parents of both families, as well as all the relatives and friends, also believed that they were a match made in heaven, so the Lu family used an exquisite phoenix hairpin from their family as a token to make a marriage agreement with the Tang family. After becoming an adult, Tang Wan became the wife of the Lu family after a night of wedding ceremony. From then on, Lu You and Tang Wan became even more harmonious and deeply in love. They were immersed in the world of the two of them. They didn't know what time it was, and they temporarily put all their imperial examinations, fame and wealth, and even their loved ones out of the sky. At this time, Lu You had already made love to become an official, but this was only the first step in becoming an official. He would then go to Lin'an to participate in the "Lock Hall Examination" and the Ministry of Etiquette Examination. Newly married Lu You lingers in the gentle countryside and has no time to take care of his exam homework. Lu You's mother, Tang, is a dignified and domineering woman. She wholeheartedly hopes that her son Lu You will be named on the gold medal list and become an official, so that he can shine in the family. Seeing the current situation, she was very dissatisfied. She scolded Tang Wan several times as an aunt and even as a mother-in-law, ordering her to focus on her husband's future in the imperial examination and to neglect the love between her children. However, Lu and Tang were deeply in love and couldn't look back, and the situation never improved significantly. Mother Lu was disgusted with her daughter-in-law because of this, believing that Tang Wan was really the star of the Tang family and would delay her son's future. So she went to Wuliang Nunnery in the suburbs and asked the nun Miaoyu to tell her son and daughter-in-law's fate. After some calculations, Miao Yin said in a serious manner: "Tang Wan and Lu You are not compatible. First he misled them, but eventually his life was in danger." Upon hearing this, Lu's mother was so frightened that she hurried home, called Lu You, and forced him to say: : "Quickly write a divorce letter and give up Tang Wan, otherwise I will die with you." This sentence was undoubtedly a thunderstorm on a sunny day, which shocked Lu You and didn't know what he was doing. When Lu You's mother recounted Tang Wan's misfortune, Lu You felt as sad as a knife. He, who had always been filial, had no choice but to cry secretly when faced with his resolute mother. Forced by his mother's fate, Lu You had no choice but to agree to send Tang Wan back to her parents' home. This situation seems to be unreasonable today, and the relationship between two people cannot be allowed to be interfered with by others. However, in ancient Chinese society that advocated filial piety, the mother's destiny was the imperial edict, and the son of man could not obey it. In this way, a pair of deeply affectionate mandarin ducks are about to be torn apart by unwarranted filial piety, secular power and mysterious destiny. Lu You and Tang Wan were inseparable, and they couldn't bear to leave without a chance to get together, so they quietly built a separate courtyard to accommodate Tang Wan. Lu You went there as soon as he had the opportunity to renew his dream with Tang Wan, and their love was as good as before. Unfortunately, nothing could stop the fire, and the shrewd Mother Lu quickly noticed the incident. He strictly ordered the two to cut off all contact and arranged for Lu You to marry a docile and dutiful daughter of the Wang family, completely severing the long-lasting love between Lu and Tang. In desperation, Lu You had no choice but to put away his grievances. Under the supervision of his mother, he focused on studying for the imperial examinations and studied hard for three years. At the age of twenty-seven, he left his hometown of Shanyin alone and went to Lin'an to participate in the "lockdown". Hall test". In Lin'an, Lu You won the appreciation of the examiner Lu Fu with his solid foundation in Confucian classics and brilliant literary thinking, and was recommended as the leader. The person who won the second place in the same subject examination happened to be Qin Xun, the grandson of Qin Hui, the prime minister of the dynasty. Qin Hui felt deeply ashamed, so during the Ministry of Rites examination in the spring of the next year, he made excuses and excluded Lu You's test paper. Lu You's career encountered ups and downs from the very beginning. After failing the examination of the Ministry of Rites, Lu You returned to his hometown. The scenery of his hometown remained the same and the people's appearance had changed. Seeing things and thinking about people, I feel desolate in my heart. In order to relieve his melancholy, Lu You often stayed alone in the green mountains and green waters, or sat in a wild temple to explore the ancient times; In this way, he lived a leisurely and dissolute life. On a spring noon with blooming flowers, Lu You casually strolled to the Shen Garden of Yuji Temple. Shen Garden is an elegantly laid out garden with sparse flowers and trees, towering green rocks and winding paths. It is a good place for locals to visit in spring to enjoy flowers. A woman in cotton clothes walked towards him on a quiet path deep in the garden. Lu You, who was strolling with his head lowered, suddenly looked up and saw that it was Tang Wan, his ex-wife who had been away for several years. At that moment, time and eyes were frozen. The two people's eyes were glued together, and they both felt confused. They didn't know whether it was a dream or reality. They didn't know whether the eyes were full of love, resentment, thinking, or pity.
At this time, Tang Wan had married Zhao Shicheng, a scholar from the same county, at the discretion of her family. The Zhao family was descended from the royal family and had a prominent family. Zhao Shicheng was a generous and affectionate scholar. He showed sincere sympathy and sympathy for Tang Wan, who had suffered emotional setbacks. understanding. Tang Wan's traumatized mind has gradually recovered, and new feelings have begun to sprout. The unexpected encounter with Lu You at this time undoubtedly reopened Tang Wan's closed heart. The old tenderness and various grievances that had been stored in it suddenly burst out. The weak Tang Wan could hardly bear this feeling. As for Lu You, although he had suppressed his longing for Tang Wan through hard reading, poetry and wine over the past few years, at this moment, the old feelings buried deep in his heart could not help but flow out. Their eyes met, and they had all kinds of thoughts and feelings, but they didn't know where to start. This time Tang Wan and her husband Zhao Shicheng visited Shen Garden, where Zhao Shicheng was waiting for her to eat. After being in a daze for a while, Tang Wan, who was already married to someone else, finally took heavy steps, left a deep glance and walked away, leaving Lu You alone in a daze among the flowers. The gentle breeze came and woke up Lu You who was deep in his old dream. He couldn't help but follow Tang Wan's figure and came to the willow bush by the pond. In the distance, he saw Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng eating on the waterside pavilion in the pond. Faintly, she could see Tang Wan lowering her head and frowning. She stretched out her jade hands and red sleeves intentionally or unintentionally, and drank slowly with Zhao Shicheng. This familiar scene broke Lu You's heart. Yesterday's love dream, today's obsession and resentment are all in my heart, and I am full of emotions, so I took up a pen and wrote a "hairpin-headed phoenix" on the pink wall: Red crisp hands, yellow vine wine, the city is full of spring scenery and willows on the palace walls; the east wind is evil, but joy is Feeling weak, full of melancholy, leaving for a few years, wrong, wrong, wrong. Spring is as old as before, people are empty and thin, tears stain the red city and the crocodile yarn shows through; the peach blossoms fall, the pond and pavilion are idle, although the mountain alliance is there, it is difficult to carry the brocade book, Mo, Mo, Mo. Later, Qin Hui died of illness. The court summoned Lu You again, and Lu You was ordered to serve as the director of Ningde County, far away from his hometown of Shanyin. In the spring of the next year, with an inexplicable longing, Tang Wan came to Shen Garden again, wandering among the winding paths and corridors, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Lu You's inscription. Reciting it repeatedly, I remembered the scene in the past when the two of them sang poems in harmony, and I couldn't help but burst into tears, and my heart was up and down. I unknowingly reconciled a line of poems, and inscribed them after Lu You's poems. This is the second poem "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix". The world is thin and human beings are evil. When the rain comes at dusk, flowers tend to fall; when the wind dries in the evening and tears remain, it is difficult, difficult, difficult to convey my thoughts while leaning against the railing alone. People are different, today is not yesterday, the sick soul is always like a rope on a swing; the sound of the horn is cold, the night is dark, and I am afraid of being asked, so I swallow my tears and pretend to be happy, hiding, hiding, hiding. "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix" A Harmonious Poetry Between the Two Tang Wan is a woman who attaches great importance to friendship. Her love with Lu You was originally a perfect combination, but it was destroyed by the wind and rain of the world. Although Zhao Shicheng gave her emotional comfort again, after all, it was difficult to overcome the difficulties. The unforgettable relationship with Lu You has always remained in the deepest part of her emotional world. Ever since she saw Lu You's inscription, her heart could no longer calm down. Recalling the past and lamenting the helpless world, the fire of emotion tortured her, making her become haggard and depressed, and she turned into a fallen leaf and quietly passed away in the wind in the bleak autumn season. Only a series of sentimental "hairpin-headed phoenix" remains, which makes future generations sigh. At this time, Lu You's official career was in full swing. His literary talent was highly praised by the newly ascended Song Xiaozong, and he was awarded a Jinshi status. From now on, his official career will be smooth, and he has been serving as a servant of Baohua Pavilion. During this period, in addition to devoting himself to politics, he also wrote a large number of poems that reflected his concern for the country and the people. When he was seventy-five years old, he submitted a letter to complain about his old age and was given a gold and purple ribbon to return to his hometown. Lu You has been wandering around the world for decades, trying to forget his sad past with Tang Wan. However, the further away from home, the more Tang Wan's shadow lingers in his heart. After returning from this tired trip, Tang Wan has long since passed away, and she is already in her twilight years. However, she still has a deep attachment to the past and Shen Yuan. He often walked alone on the quiet path of Shen Garden, recalling the shocking scene that was deeply imprinted in his mind. At this time, he wrote the poem "Nostalgia of Shen Garden": First: The dream has faded for forty years, and the fragrance has faded away. The old willows in the garden are no longer flying; this body is walking in the soil of Jishan, and its traces are still hanging there. Second: The setting sun on the city is painted with mournful corners, and the sinking garden has no old pool platform; the spring waves under the sad bridge are green, and it is suspected that it is the shadow of a startled tiger. Shen Garden is the place where Lu You feels nostalgic, and it is also the place where he feels sad. He was thinking about Shen Yuan, but he was afraid of going to Shen Yuan. When spring comes again, the sultry pink willows and willows, the annoying fragrance of birds and flowers, although the dying Lu You can no longer go to Shen Garden to look for traces of the past, but that encounter with Tang Wan, the beautiful woman's sad eyes, timid attitude, and helpless The way he walked and hesitated to speak made Lu You remember it, so he wrote a poem "Dreamwalking in Shen Garden": First: The road is near the south of the city and I am afraid of walking, and Shen's home is even more sad; the fragrance wears the guest's sleeves, plum blossoms are there, and the green The spring water of Dashi Temple Bridge is born. Second: It is spring again on the small street in the south of the city. Only plum blossoms can be seen but no one can be seen; jade bones have been sinking in the spring for a long time, and the ink marks are like dust on the walls. Gourd Pond, where Lu and Tang met. Since then, Shen Garden has changed owners several times, and all the people and scenery have changed from the past. One spring day when Lu You was eighty-five years old, he suddenly felt physically and mentally refreshed and extremely light. He was originally going to go up the mountain to collect herbs, but because his physical strength did not allow him to do so, he turned back to Shen Garden. At this time, Shen Garden was reorganized and the scenery was roughly restored to its original appearance. Lu You wrote the last love poem of Shen Garden with great affection: Flowers in Shen Garden Such as brocade, half of them knew Fang Weng back then; I also believe that beauty will eventually become ashes, and cannot bear the hurried dream. Shortly thereafter, Lu You passed away suddenly. Time has passed, the scenery of Shen Garden has changed, and the poems on the pink walls have disappeared.
However, these poems that record the love song between Tang Wan and Lu You have been circulated for a long time among people who fell in love in later generations. It reminds people: Cherish the relationship you have, and don't say goodbye easily, leading to helpless lifelong regret.
