Bu Suanzi. Residence in Dinghui Yuan, Huangzhou
——Su Dongpo
The missing moon hanging on the sparse tung trees makes one feel calm at first. Who sees a lonely person walking around alone? Misty and solitary shadow.
When you start, you look back. There is no one to forgive you for your hatred. Picking out all the cold branches and refusing to live on them, the lonely sandbank is cold.
This is a noun poem "Businessman" by Su Shi. Each current version of the selected words has a small preface: "Huangzhou Dinghuiyuan residence." According to historical records, this word was written in Huangzhou in the sixth year of Shenzong Yuanfeng (1083), and Dinghuiyuan was located in Huanggang, Hubei Province today. In the southeast of the county, Su Shi also wrote "A Journey to Dinghui Courtyard". It can be seen from the above that this poem was written by Su Shi when he was demoted to Huangzhou.
This word is highly praised by later generations. For example, "Valley Inscriptions and Postscripts" says: "The meaning is sublime, as if Fei is talking about eating fireworks in the world.", and "Fei has tens of thousands of books in his chest, and there is nothing tacky in his writing." "can't arrive. However, precisely because of the fairy-like character of this word, it has always been highly controversial. There is one of the most interesting sayings, which I have summarized for the benefit of all my colleagues.
According to "Ci of Sixty Famous Writers of the Song Dynasty. Dongpo Ci", this poem also has a preface, which tells a beautiful and desolate story. As follows:
There is a Wendu prison girl in Huizhou who is quite sexy. At the age of sixteen, she refused to marry. I was very happy when I heard that the slope was coming. Hearing Po's sarcastic chant every night, he wandered under the window. Po woke up and pushed the window, and his daughter jumped over the wall and left. Poe looked at her and said: "I should call Wang Lang and marry his son. Not long after, Po crossed the sea, and the girl died and was buried on the side of the beach. Poe returned to Hui and gave this word.
This short preface is written with the same ethereal spirit as Su Shi's poems.
The first half of the poem would be unreal and confusing, but for the introduction: "There is a Wendu prison girl in Huizhou who is quite sexy. At the age of sixteen, she refused to marry. ", it feels a bit like meeting an immortal.
Su Shi lived in Dinghuiyuan. Whenever he was reciting poems late at night, there would always be a beautiful woman wandering outside the window. When he opened the window to look for her, she had already climbed over the wall. Go. Isn't this situation exactly what Su Shi wrote in his poem: "The missing moon hangs on the sparse tung trees, which breaks one's initial tranquility." Who sees a lonely person walking around alone? Misty and solitary shadow. ". From this point of view, the ghost in the sentence should refer to the mysterious and beautiful woman, and Shangyu recorded this matter.
At that time, Su Shi was in his sixties, and Zhang Xian was still in his seventies. Taking a concubine is not a big deal. I was very angry about why he didn't take that woman as a concubine, but he looked for the prince's son to marry her, which ultimately made her die in depression.
It seemed that she existed for Su Shi. After Su Shi left Huizhou, the woman died and her body was buried beside the sandbank. When Su Shi returned to Huizhou, he saw only a pile of loess. You can imagine his anger. , and wrote this famous poem "Bu Shuzi". It can be seen that the bottom line of this poem was written in memory of the woman: "When you are startled, you look back. There is no one to forgive you. Picking out all the cold branches and refusing to live on them, the lonely sandbank is cold. ".
This preface, in just a few dozen words, tells a touching and tear-jerking love story. It is truly wonderful and amazing.
