What do you mean by hanging the southeast branch?

He hanged himself on a branch in the southeast. This sentence comes from Peacock Flying Southeast:

"Fu collectors smell this matter, know after such a long separation. Wandering under the courtyard tree, hanging from the southeast branch. The two families asked to be buried together, next to Huashan Mountain. Pine and cypress are planted in the east and west, and phoenix trees are planted in the left and right. Branches cover each other and leaves communicate with each other. There are two birds in the forest, calling themselves Yuanyang. Raise your head and sing to each other, reaching the fifth watch every night. Pedestrians stop to listen, widows hesitate. Thanks to future generations, don't forget to warn! "

When Jiao Zhongqing heard the news that Liu Lanzhi committed suicide by drowning, he knew in his heart that he had bid farewell to Liu Lanzhi forever. He lingered under a tree in the yard for a while, and hanged himself on a branch in the southeast. Jiao and Liu asked to be buried together, so they were buried together next to Huashan Mountain. Plant conifers and cypresses on the east and west sides, and plant phoenix trees on the left and right sides.

Branches cover each other and leaves connect with each other. There are a pair of birds in the tree. Their names are Yuanyang. They looked up at each other and called to each other until the fifth watch every night. Pedestrians stopped to listen, and the widow heard. She got out of bed and was very upset. Advise future generations to learn from this and never forget it!

Extended data:

The writing age of Peacock Flying Southeast has always been controversial. Judging from the "preface" of this poem, it should be a work in the Jian 'an period at the end of Han Dynasty, so it belongs to the category of "Han Yuefu".

Liu Kezhuang's Post-Shi Cun Dialect says: "The poem" Jiao Zhongqing's Wife "was written by people in the Six Dynasties. Mulan poetry was also written by the Tang people. " Yuefu is just a narrative style, with a beginning and an end. Although the words are rich in vulgarity, they have ancient meanings. "Liu Kezhuang pointed out that this poem was written by people in the Six Dynasties, but he didn't give any reason, so Liu said it had little influence.

1924 In order to welcome Tagore, an Indian poet, to give a speech in Beijing, Liang Qichao mentioned the writing age of Peacock Flying Southeast. He said: "Works like Peacock Flying Southeast and Mulan Poem all started in the Six Dynasties, but they didn't exist before. Peacock Flying Southeast has always been regarded as a poem by China, but I doubt that it belongs to the Six Dynasties, so I have no textual research. )

Ode to the Buddha's Shore has now been translated into four books, which turned out to be just a poem. People in the Six Dynasties read more books than anyone else. Of course, our poet has injected a lot of that kind of passionate emotion and rich imagination into his heart. I'm afraid it will indirectly affect the long narrative lyric of Peacock Flying Southeast. "(See the lecture of" The Kinship between Indian Culture and China Culture "in Beijing Morning Post), which is quite influential in the literary world.
