Lu You, a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, was born in Yinshan, Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Lu You is a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, with more than 9,300 poems, which occupies a supreme position in China's classical poetry. One of the characteristics of Lu You's poems is the heroism and sacrifice spirit of swallowing mountains and rivers. Lu You's patriotic passion is inevitable when everyone talks about Lu You's poems, but what I want to say today is Lu You's persistence in love, which may not be clear to many people.
Lu You and Tang Wan were childhood friends, and they were both gifted scholars and beautiful women. The two have a harmonious relationship and love each other deeply. Because Lu You's mother was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law singing peace poems with her son all day, and Tang Wan was childless, two years later, Lu Muqiang asked Lu You to divorce his wife, euphemistically speaking, for fear of affecting Lu You's career. Due to the shackles of feudal ethics, Lu You dared not disobey his parents' orders, wrote a letter of divorce in tears, and was forced to divorce Tang Wan and marry Wang. Tang Wan married Zhao Shicheng, a royal aristocrat, and lived a rich aristocratic life.
One spring many years later, Lu You was assassinated by treacherous court official Qin Gui, and his career was bumpy. He went to Shenyuan for a spring outing to enjoy flowers. It was also God who missed his unfinished marriage and arranged the opportunity long ago. Occasionally, Tang Wan also played in Shenyuan, and they met for the first time after their divorce. When Lu You saw Tang Wan, his grief suddenly came to mind. He put down his glass and was ready to leave. Unexpectedly, with the consent of her husband Zhao Shicheng, Tang Wan sent several tables of dining tables to Lu You. Looking at Tang Wan's haggard face, he remembered the scene when he was very much in love. Now Tang Wan is not his wife, but now he belongs to someone else's wife, just like Yang Liuzhi floating on the wall in the Forbidden Palace, just out of reach. Lu You saw Tang Wan's affectionate toast to herself, and realized her inner affection. Two lines of tears mournful, she looked up and drank this cup of Tang Wan's bitter wine. Lu You had mixed feelings and wrote a poem on the wall of the Imperial Academy. The love poem "Hairpin Phoenix" was the last song ever:
Red crisp hands, yellow wine, mancheng spring willow.
Dong Feng Xie, who is in a bad mood, has been very depressed in recent years.
No, no, no!
Spring is the same, people are empty, and tears are red and sad.
Peach blossom falls, idle pool pavilion, although the mountain alliance is there, it is difficult to hold books.
Mo, Mo, Mo!
Tang Wan looked at Lu You while splashing ink. She realized that the sadness in Lu You's heart was like a galloping horse, like a thousand waves. She understands Lu You's sadness and guilt, and she understands his dissatisfaction with his mother. Between the lines, she can also see that Lu You still has deep feelings and homesickness for her.
After Lu You wrote the inscription, he nodded his thanks to Tang Wan and drank a toast. He looked back at Tang Wan affectionately, then sighed in disappointment and left in ecstasy. After Lu You left, Tang Wan stood there alone at a loss, looking at the word "Feng Feng" with wet ink. She read it several times from beginning to end, trying to keep the word in mind. She couldn't control her emotions any longer, so she burst into tears. When I got home, I felt sad and burst into tears, and I worked hard to write the poem "Feng Feng" as a response to Lu You:
The world is thin, human feelings are evil, and it is easy to fall when the rain is sent late.
The breeze is dry and the tears are residual. If you have to worry, just say it alone.
Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!
People become different, today is not yesterday, and sick souls are often thousands of miles away.
The horn is cold and the night is hazy. Afraid of being asked questions, swallow your tears and pretend to be happy.
Hide. Hide. Hide.
Tang Wan soon died of lovesickness, depression and resentment at the age of 30.
Since then, Lu You went north to resist gold, and then moved to Sichuan and Sichuan. After decades of hard work, I can't get rid of my yearning for Tang Wan. At the age of 67, after a lapse of 40 years, I revisited Shenyuan and saw that the title "Hairpin Phoenix" was missing, leaving only half broken. His mood is hard to restrain, and the scene of that year always echoes in his mind. Li Ying of Tang Wan will always stand in his heart, so she wrote a poem full of sadness to remember it. The preface in the poem says, "South of Yuji Temple, there is a small garden in Shen Shi. Forty years ago, I tried it in a small wall, but I was disappointed after reading it. " This poem mourns Tang Wan like this:
Looking back on Lin Ting's past emptiness, who can say that Lu Quan is heartbroken?
Bad walls are drunk with dust, and clouds break dreams.
At the age of seventy-five, Lu You simply lived near Shenyuan. In order to miss Tang Wan, he "went to the temple every time he went to town, but he couldn't win." He consistently maintained his homesickness for Tang Wan, leaving two quatrains:
( 1)
The dream is broken and fragrant for forty years, but the willow in Shenyuan doesn't blow cotton.
This body is a land of mountains and mountains, or a trace of death.
(2)
On the city, the sunset painting angle declines, and the Shen Garden is not revived.
Under the sad bridge, the spring waves are green, which used to be a stunning photo.
Just one year before Lu You died, he wrote poems in memory of Tang Wan. From his deep affection, people feel faint pain, which keeps his love for Tang Wan for 60 years, creating a much-told story among literati.
The flowers of Shenjiayuan are like brocade, and I knew half of them in those days.
I also believe that beauty will eventually become soil, and it is too late to dream!
Why can love be so profound? After decades of "beautiful artificial soil" and "red powder turned to dust", the poet can still sing the heartbroken poem "This body is a land of mountains and rivers, but it is still a trace of death"? Let people deeply feel Lu You's love for Tang Wan beyond words!
The love story between Lu You and Tang Wan ended in a tragic way. Lu You has been reluctant to part with Tang Wan's love for 60 years! Until Lu You was eighty-four, he was still writing poems in memory of Tang Wan. What a deep emotion! Among the parties to this tragedy, neither Lu Mu nor Lu You was at fault, and Tang Wan was even more innocent. It was the cold sword of feudal ethics that ruthlessly blocked a pair of childhood friends and soul mates. Although the love between Lu You and Tang Wan is not long in the real world, it has already been "transferred" to all kinds of sentient beings by the poet bit by bit, making Lu You still enjoy it in his eighties, which shows how charming love is!
