Xin Qiji: Everlasting Happiness·Scorching Sun and Autumn Frost

"Yong Yu Le·Scorching Sun and Autumn Frost"

Author: Xin Qiji

The play was written with the character Xin and sent to Mao Jia's twelfth brother for transfer.

The scorching sun and autumn frost, loyalty and courage, a family tree that lasts for thousands of years.

In what year I got my surname, read the word Xin carefully, and I will listen to you with a smile.

Hard work, sad taste, always bitter and hard work.

It is even more pungent and pungent to people, and the pepper and cinnamon can be mashed to the point of vomiting.

The fragrance and beauty that should be found in the world cannot be found at the door of my home.

Compared with Ercao, there is a 锳锳, and the golden seal is set with light.

This matter to you, from now on, don’t remember the storm in bed.

But winning, boot-printed crepe noodles, remembering Yu's jokes.

Appreciation:

Su Shi, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, switched from composing poems to writing lyrics. By the time of Xin Qiji, he went further to use words instead of words to express his feelings. This poem "Yong" Yule" is a successful work in this aspect. Maojia, Xin Qiji's younger brother, was the twelfth eldest in his family. Among Jiaxuan's poems, there are two poems to bid farewell to Mao Jia, one of which was "Yu Meiren", which was written when Mao Jia was exiled to Guangxi.

This song "Yong Yu Le" was sent to Mao Jia for tuning. According to the relevant regulations of the Song Dynasty, when the term of office of local officials expires, they must go to Beijing to wait for deployment. If there are no special reasons and they are deployed again, they will be promoted. So this is a happy event and a happy separation. Because this was to send brothers of the same clan out to become officials, Jiaxuan was quite touched and talked about the "thousand-year family tree" of their Xin family. "Playing with the character Xin", he expressed his emotion and discussion based on the fact that his surname is Xin, and expressed it in a humorous and meaningful play.

"The scorching sun and autumn frost, loyalty and righteousness, a thousand-year family tree." The family tree is revealed at the beginning of the poem, saying that the ancestors of the Xin family are all loyal and courageous people, and they are all upright in nature. Seriousness, like "the scorching sun and autumn frost", is both awe-inspiring and respectable. "Scorching sun and autumn frost" is a metaphor for the uprightness of the wind, such as "New Book of Tang·Praise to Duan Xiu Shi": "Although he is 1,500 years old, his heroic words are like the scorching frost and the scorching sun, which can be feared and admired." The first three sentences of the poem. "Reporting one's family status" is not a false boast, but has history to prove it. The Xin family is an ancient family. Legend has it that Xia Qifeng gave birth to his son Xin. Shen and Xin had similar voices, and they later became the Xin family. There was Xin Jia in Shang Dynasty, a famous official of his generation, who repeatedly admonished King Zhou and was forthright and fearless.

The Han Dynasty had Xin Qingji, a famous general of his generation who shocked the Huns. When he became emperor, Zhu Yun used Prime Minister Zhang Yu to flatter his relatives and wrote a letter asking him to be executed. The emperor was angry and wanted to kill Yun, but Xin Qingji risked his life to save him. Hou Qingji's descendants were also loyal and did not attach themselves to Wang Mang, so they were executed.

Of course, writing lyrics cannot be as documentary as compiling a family tree. Moreover, these are well-known historical facts, so the poet does not spend much time on writing, but ingeniously and "carefully study the facts" with his clan brothers. Here comes the word: When did our ancestors get this surname? How did you get such a last name? I'm not going to tell you what I'm saying, but you're going to listen to it just to get a smile. So he began to chew on the words and carefully understood the meaning of the word "Xin", which has many connotations such as hard work, bitterness, and pungentness. He made a high-level comment: "Hard work, sad taste, always bitter and hard work."

The word "Xin" in our Xinjiamen is made of "hardship", which contains the taste of "sadness and hardship", and is always inextricably linked to the fate of "bitterness and hard work"! Three sentences are inseparable from the word "hard": "hardship", "sadness", "bitterness" and "hard work". When writing poems and lyrics, the rule of thumb is to "offend each other with the same word", and here the word "Xin" appears four times in three sentences. Used naturally, it increases the audio-visual effect of the tone and fully renders the emotion of the words. What's even better is that the form is "Xi Shen Xin", and the content is a pun, containing historical lessons and realistic complaints. Isn't it? The above mentioned Xin Qingji's unparalleled military exploits of "hard work and hard work". However, when it comes to his descendants, they have tasted the "sadness" of being brutally killed. When it comes to Jiaxuan himself, it is quite "bitter and hard" to go from "the banner of his prime to support ten thousand men" to "to sacrifice ten thousand words to defeat the army in exchange for his boss's tree-planting book"!

In short, the fate of our Xin family is always inseparable from the word "Xin". How could this happen? It turns out that the root is still in the word "Xin". Pungent means spicy. This is the original meaning of the word Xin, and it is also the traditional character of our Xin family! We, the Xin family, are born with upright and upright characters. We are upright and fierce in our behavior. Just like our surname, we are hot and unpopular. "It's even more pungent and spicy to people. If you pound the pepper and cinnamon, you'll be able to spit it out.

"These two sentences further develop the meaning of the word "Xin" as "spicy" and use the word to describe people. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a poem "Congjia" that rhymed with the word "Xin". Su Shi once and then reconciled it, and there are "the last few poems". "Don't be tired of me, pounding the remaining pepper and cinnamon has more pungent", Jiaxuan picked it up at his fingertips and used it very well.

The next part continues to express his emotions with the phrase "it's pungent to others". Just because of our surname, All the "sweet, sweet and beautiful" things in the world are not available to "my family". Seeing the strings of shining golden seals hanging on the waists of other people's children, how arrogant we are, how can we compare with them! To put it bluntly, there are endless emotions, jokes, and implicit complaints. What should I do if I can't compare with others? Let's fight for it! So the conversation turned to the topic of sending Mao Jia to transfer: "From now on, I will go straight to the next step. Don't recall the storm on the bed. But winning, boots and crepe noodles, I remember the drama. "I'll leave it to you to seek high-ranking officials and honor your ancestors. From now on, when you rise to the top, you don't have to think about the night talk between our brothers today; when you get old and weak, You will definitely remember the jokes I told you today. "The wind and rain in the bed" comes from Wei Yingwu's poem: "I would rather sleep in the bed on a stormy night". These two poems were quite appreciated by brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe. , very longing for the state of the two brothers talking to each other in bed on a stormy night, and for this reason, they agreed to retire as soon as possible, which later became a story.

"Boot-print crepe noodles" is a classic from Ouyang Xiu's "Returning to the Fields". "Records": In the Northern Song Dynasty, Tian Yuanjun was appointed as the Third Secretary Envoy. He was deeply disgusted by the people who asked for favors, but he had to put on a smile and pretend to be social. He smiles so much that his face looks like boot leather. "When Maojia went to transfer, Jiaxuan congratulated him on his promotion, which was the proper meaning in his farewell speech. However, the use of "boot-print crepe noodles" was sarcastic in his greetings. In fact, it means that officialdom has its own characteristics. To be a high official, you have to distort the upright character of the Xin family, and you will regret it in the end.

The whole poem is like writing about the second brother. People are chatting about home affairs, the atmosphere is cordial and candid, and the language is humorous and beautiful. From the beginning to the end, they are talking about the surname. The common surname "Xin" is explained vividly and harmoniously, which clearly shows that the author expresses his feelings through lyrics. This progressive tendency to express feelings and opinions is a bit incompatible with traditional poetry, but it is an attempt worthy of recognition in terms of ideological content and artistic expression.
