Sima Xiangru [Han Dynasty]

First of all, Shaanxi Opera comes from Wang Shifu's The West Chamber.

There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget her. (1: There is a kind of beauty that I will never forget. )

I want to go crazy if I can't see you for a day.

The phoenix flies high, and the four seas seek to burn.

Helpless beauty, not in the east wall.

Use the piano instead of language. Tell me about it.

When to see Xu Xi, comfort me.

Willing to match virtue with words and work together.

I can't fly, which makes me fall.

Second:

Feng Feng returned to his hometown and traveled around the world looking for his death.

I didn't know what to do when I didn't meet Xi. Why don't I go to Sishang today?

There are beautiful women in the boudoir, and the people in the room are poisoning my intestines.

Why do you want to be a mandarin duck, and it is soaring!

Burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning.

Who knows in the middle of the night?

My wings fly high and my thoughts make me sad.

translate

There is a handsome and beautiful woman. When I saw her, I couldn't forget her appearance.

I don't see her for a day, and I feel crazy.

I am like a phoenix flying high in the sky, looking for phoenixes all over the world.

Unfortunately, the beauty in my heart has never lived near the east wall of my house.

I use the sound of the piano instead of the feeling in my heart. Just describe my inner feelings.

When can I promise to get married and comfort me wandering back and forth, I don't know what to do?

I hope my virtue is worthy of you and I will be with you for a hundred years.

I can't fly with you, and I can't get along for a hundred years. As a result of this injury, I fell into emotional sadness and wanted to die.

Phoenix bird, phoenix bird, returned to their hometown and their whereabouts are unknown. He traveled all over the world just to find the phoenix bird in his heart.

I didn't know where I was going before I met a bird. How can I understand my feelings after I come to the door today?

There is a beautiful, elegant and quiet woman in her bedroom. Although I live near, this beautiful woman is far away from me, and the feeling of missing is tormenting my heart.

How can we get this good marriage, get married and be the loving couple? I hope I, a phoenix, can fly with you and roam the sky.

Burning bird, burning bird, I wish you and I can live together, be inseparable, raise children and be my spouse forever.

Love is congenial, and two hearts are in harmony. Follow me in the middle of the night, who will know?

Spread your wings and fly away together, thinking of you in vain makes me sad.

This song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" expresses Sima Xiangru's infinite admiration and ardent pursuit of Zhuo Wenjun. In the specific background of this poem, it has a special meaning. Comparing Xiang Ru to a phoenix, he is even more an emperor (phoenix) than Wen Jun. The whole poem has shallow meaning, smooth and lively syllables, and passionate feelings. It combines the beauty of Chu Ci and the freshness of Han folk songs in one furnace, which cannot be surpassed by future generations. Later, according to their love stories, people wrote the enduring music "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", which has been sung for thousands of years.

The first song expresses the infinite admiration and ardent pursuit of Wen Jun, which has multiple meanings in the specific background of this poem: Xiang Ru is compared to a phoenix, and he is more emperor (phoenix) than Wen Jun. A phoenix is a legendary bird, the male is called Phoenix, and the female is called Phoenix. The ancients called forest, phoenix, turtle and dragon the "four spirits" of heaven and earth, and phoenix was the king of birds. "The Inscription of Yi Dynasty" says: "There are 360 species of feathered insects, and the phoenix is the longest." Evergreen admired Lin Xiangru's talent since childhood and changed her name to "Xiangru", which was already famous in the literary world at that time; Wen Jun is talented and handsome. She is by no means an idle woman. So that place is Phoenix, which means heroic and pretentious.

"Traveling around the world" strengthens a layer of implication, which not only closely follows the myth and legend that Phoenix "started in the country of oriental gentlemen, flew across the four seas, crossed the Kunlun Mountains, drank the mainstay, weakened his feathers and stayed in the wind cave at dusk" (Guo Pu's note "Erya" quoted the sky as the old cloud), but also metaphorically refers to similar official travel experiences: before that, he had traveled to the capital and was appointed as a warrior knight by Jingdi. Recruiting scribes in Liang Xiaowang is like "living with all the students for several years" under its door. Later, because of the death of Liang Wang, the opposition to "returning home" explained that "good birds choose wood to live."

Secondly, the ancients often used "Feng Huang Yu Fei" and "chorus of husband and wife" to describe the harmony and beauty of husband and wife. For example, "Zuo Zhuan Zhuang Gong Twenty-two Years": "The wife of Chu Yi. His wife said that Ji means Feng Huang Yu Fei, harmonious and sonorous. " Here, just like the phoenix courting Wen Jun, "traveling around the world" means a rare couple.

Third, Phoenix is related to music. Such as "Shangshu Yiji": "90% Xiao Shao, the phoenix comes to the instrument." The Legend of the Immortal also contains: Nong Yu, the woman of A Qin's mother-in-law, and her husband Shaw History play the flute, and the phoenix comes to stop in their house. The mother-in-law is a phoenix platform. Later, Nong Yu and his wife both left Phoenix. Therefore, Li He tasted the beauty of the music of "The phoenix cries when the jade is broken in Kunshan" ("The Songs of Yu Liping"). Wen Jun's elegant music, like the piano sound of "Looking for Phoenix", is only a metaphor to find a bosom friend with the heart of the piano, which reminds people of the music exchange between Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, thus giving off the feeling that a bosom friend is hard to find.

The second song is bolder and more intense, secretly dating Wen Jun in the middle of the night and eloping together.

"Breeding tail" refers to the mating of male and female birds and animals. Yao Dian in Shangshu: "When people lose time, birds and beasts breed tails." Biography says, "Emulation is the fruit, and handover is the end." "Princess", spouse. Say: "Princess, a horse." "Friendship and understanding", communication and affection, that is, love are congenial. Midnight, that is, midnight. The first two sentences call for Wen Jun to have a quiet marriage, while the third and fourth sentences imply that they love each other and elope overnight, and no one will know. Five or six sentences show that you are far away, reminding each other not to let me down, and feeling sorry for homesickness in vain. Gai Xiangru bribed Wen Jun's handmaid in advance, and knew Wen Jun's widowed mental state and ideal of love for a long time. Now he chose with his heart, so he dared to be so bold.

The reason why these two Qin Ge poems won the admiration of later generations lies in the strong anti-feudal thoughts expressed in Looking for Phoenix. For example, Wen Jun boldly broke through the snare of feudal ethics and patriarchal clan system, saying, "Without waiting for parents' orders and matchmakers' words, you will fall in love at first sight and climb over the wall with each other, then your parents and people will be mean." ("Mencius Teng Wengong") What "women have the meaning of three obedience, and there is no special way." ("Book of Rites, Funeral") What "The husband has the intention of remarriage, and the woman has no second choice." (Ban Zhao's Women's Commandment) Sacred ceremonies such as "Men and women ... don't meet each other without money" (Book of Rites) and "caring for each other" were trampled by Wen Jun's bold elopement and became a banner for young men and women in later generations to strive for marriage autonomy and love freedom. Try to see the influence of the power of example in later literature: In the Romance of the West Chamber, Zhang Geqiang played "Phoenix Begging for Phoenix", saying, "I got this song in the past, although it is not as good as mine. I hope Miss Zhang will understand." In the wall of the horse, Li Qianjin defended her elopement with Wen Jun in front of her father-in-law. Pan Bizheng also incited Chen Miaochang and Qin Xin to combine privately in the Jade Hairpin. Qin Xin Ji directly put the story of Wen Jun on the stage ... which shows that Huang has a far-reaching anti-feudal influence.

Secondly, artistically, these two Qin Ge songs with the theme of "Looking for Phoenix" not only contain passionate courtship, but also symbolize the extraordinary ideal, lofty purport and tacit understanding between the hero and heroine. The whole poem has shallow meaning, bright syllables and passionate feelings, which combines the beauty of Chu Ci with the freshness of Han folk songs. Even if it is a fake of later generations, it will not weaken its artistic value.
