Changting Road, last year, should be the turn of thousands of feet. "Li Bai's" Smelling the flute in Los Angeles on a Spring Night ":"The sound of the jade emperor flying in the dark scattered into the spring breeze in Los Angeles.

In this nocturne, the willow is broken, and no one can afford to be homesick. Li Bai recalled Qin E: "Xiao Shengyan, the dream is broken.

Qin family, every year in the second quarter of the moon, the willow color by the bridge is printed with seven windows for farewell. Li Bai's departure from a hotel in Nanjing: a wind, with catkins, scented the hotel, and a girl from Wu poured wine and advised me to share it.

Looking back at the green river, I don't know who Pan Zhe is. Willow by the River is graceful and graceful, and the ancient embankment is full of green trees and smoke. If the silk does not stop, keep the boat.

4. Write farewell poems with willows 1. The feeling of "folding willows" was a very popular folk custom at that time, especially among literati, and it became a fashion.

Zhang Ji's Travels in the North of Hebei: "The willow outside the pavilion turns south." Zhou Bangyan's Brave Lanling: "The willow shade is straight and the smoke is beautiful.

On the Sui Dyke, I have seen it several times, and the water fluttered and the cotton was sent away. Changting Road, last year, should be the turn of thousands of feet. "

The universality of this custom and fashion can be seen from the words "all the way to the south branch" and "soft crossing thousands of feet". Farewell places are mostly pavilions, bridge heads or levees, such as "Sui Dike" mentioned in Zhou Bangyan's ci, and "Baling" below (there is Baqiao nearby).

Not only do you fold your willows when you bid farewell, but drinking alcohol when you bid farewell is naturally indispensable; Sometimes you have to play the flute to sing, and the music is ready-made. At that time, people with almost a little culture could sing casually. Of course, poets should recite poems and give each other words. In ancient poems, we can read many works related to the cultural custom of "breaking willows to bid farewell", which can be said to be a very important cultural landscape in the history of China literature.

For example, Li Bai's Blow in Los Angeles on a Spring Night: "Whose Yu Di flies in the dark and the spring breeze fills Los Angeles. In this serenade, I heard the willows, and no one can stand the nostalgia. "

This poem was put forward in the appreciation of ancient poetry in the college entrance examination in 2003. ) Li Bai's "Memory": "Xiao Shengyan, the dream is broken.

Qin family, every year in the second quarter of the moon, the willow color by the bridge is printed with seven windows for farewell. Li Bai's departure from a hotel in Nanjing: a wind, with catkins, scented the hotel, and a girl from Wu poured wine and advised me to share it.

Comrades in my city came to see me off. When each of them drank his glass, I said to him when leaving. Zheng Gu bid farewell to his friends in Huaishang: Yang, the head of the Yangtze River, and the man who killed the river crossing with sorrow.

The breeze blows gently, the flute whimpers, and the pavilion dyes dusk. You want to go south to Xiaoxiang, and I want to run to the west Qinling. "(Huayang is catkin.

Su Shi has "Huayang Ci") Wu Wenying's "The Wind Into the Pine": "The dark green in front of the building leads the way, with a touch of willow and an inch of tenderness." Poetry should not only write the action of "folding willows to bid farewell", but also all words related to willows should be used to express the kindness between friends and parting.

Such as willow, willow branch, Liu Yin, willow color, tobacco willow, willow cotton (also known as willow flower, Yang Shuhua, catkin), willow, folding willow, willow spring, willow and so on. There is also a very touching story in the poem "Folding Willow".

Li Zhiwen, an official in Song Dynasty, fell in love with Nie Shengqiong, a famous prostitute in Beijing. When Li was about to return to his hometown, Nie Shengqiong bid him farewell, drank wine and sang a song in the Lotus Building. The last sentence is: "I have no intention of staying in spring, but I have no intention of going with you."

Therefore, Li Zhiwen stayed and lived for more than a month. Later, because his wife urged him too hard, Li had to leave disappointed.

In less than ten days, Nie Shengqiong wrote a poem "Partridge Day" and sent it to Li Zhiwen. Li came halfway, hid in a box and was found by his wife when he came home.

Li had to tell the truth. Li Furen read The Partridge Sky and was glad to see its clear sentences.

Instead of stopping Nie Li's love affair, he took out his own private money and asked Li Zhiwen to go to the capital to marry Nie Shengqiong. Nie Shengqiong's Partridge Sky: Jade Flower is sad out of Fengcheng, and Liu Qingqing is downstairs, singing the fifth journey after Yangguan.

Looking for a beautiful dream, the dream is difficult to realize, who knows my mood at this time. Tears in front of the pillow and rain in front of the curtain drop through a window.

Second, the reason for "folding willow" is why do you want to fold willow? The common explanation is that "Liu" and "Don't" are homophonic. One is reluctant to give Liu a souvenir, and the other is unforgettable. However, we feel that this explanation is too thin to be completely convincing.

As a very common cultural custom, I'm afraid it can't be explained clearly by a homonym. Therefore, some people in ancient times explored the reasons from another angle.

For example, the Chu people in the Qing Dynasty put forward in Volume IV of Jian Xuan Guang Ji: "Those who bid farewell have nothing to fold but must be in the willow. It is not convenient for Jinting, and it is not convenient for people to go back to their hometown like trees leaving the soil. I hope they will be safe everywhere, just like willows can live everywhere, so I wish them a good ear. " This explanation makes sense.

Compared with other trees, willow is characterized by "no fixed place to live", which can be used to wish people far away will be very happy when they arrive in a different place, and they can quickly integrate into the local people and everything will go well. This sentence has profound philosophy and higher cultural taste.

But in my opinion, this is not the original reason for the cultural custom of "folding willows to bid farewell". The earliest origin should be "I am dead, and the willows are reluctant; Today, I will think about these ancient poems, "Rain and snow are raining".

There are three reasons: first, this poem comes from the Book of Songs, which is a well-known sentence; Secondly, "Willow Yiyi" expresses the parting feelings of soldiers before going out to war, which lays the cultural tone for later farewell poems; Thirdly, The Book of Songs, as one of the Five Classics, has a profound and extensive cultural background. The ancients paid attention to "no words and no place" in their poems, which of course came from classics. In this sense, I think it is wrong for someone to change "guest house is like willow spring" in Weicheng Qu to "guest house is green and willow is new in color".

In a word, there should be three reasons for "farewell": homophonic feeling, philosophical enlightenment and cultural inheritance. Third, the music of "Broken Willow" When "Broken Willow Farewell", you should play the flute and sometimes sing aloud. Therefore, in ancient poems, you often associate the broken willow with playing the flute (singing) to express your deep affection for parting.

There are three pieces of music related to it: One is "Folding Yang Liuzhi" in the Northern Dynasty Yuefu "Drum Horn Blowing Across". There is a song that says, "If you don't catch the whip when you get on the horse, you will rebel against Yang Liuzhi.

Dismount and play the flute for fear of killing travelers. "Li Bai's Xia Sai Qu": "I heard a bright future, but I never saw spring scenery. "

There is also the "Whispering Flute in Los Angeles on a Spring Night" mentioned earlier, and the "Smelling Willow" mentioned in these two poems should be the song "Folding Yang Liuzhi". The second is the song of the Tang Dynasty, also known as the three layers of Yangguan.

In fact, it turned out to be not a song, but a poem from Wang Wei's "Sending Ruan's Second Envoy to Anxi": "Weicheng is rainy and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. I advise you to have another glass of wine. There is no reason to go out. "

Later, the musicians went to Yuefu to make a farewell song, and the last sentence, "People who went out of Yangguan in the Western Heaven for no reason", was repeatedly sung, so it was called "Three Levels of Yangguan". This is a very popular farewell song in the Tang Dynasty.

Third, Yang Liuzhi's Ci in Tang Dynasty. It is the name of Tang that the author often sings.

5. There is a farewell poem by Liu, 1. The world is cold, and it is a pavilion for seeing off guests.

Wang Zhihuan bid farewell to the willows and Dongfeng trees, and the green water sandwiched the green river. It's not so convenient to have a rest recently. It should be because there are too many people.

7. Analysis on the image of farewell willow in ancient poems; In China's classical poems, willow is one of the most common images, and it is also the most beautiful and moving image.

A careful and in-depth study of the role of willow images in ancient poetry is of great benefit to understanding ancient cultural traditions, improving national cultural literacy and enhancing poetry appreciation. First of all, I use willow to express my deep affection for parting. "Chang 'an is on an infinite tree, and only weeping willows can walk. "

(Liu Yuxi's Nine Poems of Yang Liuzhi) Farewell is the most essential artistic feature of Liu's image. There are countless good sentences in ancient poems and songs that express parting feelings through willow images.

"Spring breeze knows that it doesn't suffer, and it doesn't send wicker green." (Li Bai's Old Pavilion) "The rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow-colored.

I advise you to drink more wine. The sun rises in the west for no reason. "(Wang Wei's" Send Yuan Er to Anxi ")" Yangtze River head, and worry about killing people crossing the river. "

(Zheng Gu's "Farewell to Friends in Huaishang") "It seems that it is not refined. Huayang is a little bit, a drop of tears. " (Su Shi's "Water") "Affectionate feelings have been hurting and parting since ancient times, and neglecting the Qing Autumn Festival is even worse.

Where did you wake up tonight? Yang Liuan, morning breeze and waning moon. "(Liu Yong's Yulin Order)" It's hard to tie the willow silk to the jade, and I hate missing Lin. "

(Wang Shifu's "The West Chamber") These beautiful words and expressions are all sentimental with willows. The image of willow is associated with parting. First of all, because the willow posture is graceful and soft, gentle and affectionate. "I often go, Liu Yiyi; I think about it today, it's raining. "

(The Book of Songs? Xiaoya? Liu's reluctance to part with people's feelings of parting blended, so that Liu Xie of the Southern Dynasties wrote in Wen Xin Diao Long? Xun praised: "Burning peach blossoms is like a willow. It is believed that "Willow Yiyi" vividly shows Liu Yang's feminine realm. "With less, there is always more, and the feelings are clear. "

From the source of The Book of Songs, the willow images in China's classical poems are enlightening and enlightening. Secondly, it is because the ancients had the custom of folding willows to bid farewell. The so-called "bringing wine to spring, folding willows is parting."

This custom prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, many people in Chang 'an went to Baqiao to fold willows to bid farewell.

According to "Three Auxiliary Huang Tu", "Baqiao Bridge is in Chang 'an East, crossing the water is the bridge, and the Han people see Fujian off at this bridge, and the willows are folded to bid farewell. "This is the earliest record that folding willows is closely related to giving people away.

"High stroke dangerous building low dust, BaQiao climb a product. Think about it as a heartless tree. I don't know how to welcome people, I will only give them away. "

(Pei Shuo's "Liu") "Baqiao Ada, Qujiang Pool Pavilion, should treat people." (Lu You's Eye-catching) "The willow green is drooping and the flowers are long and sultry.

The wicker broke and the flowers flew away. I wonder if pedestrians will come back. "(Anonymous" Farewell ") Again," Liu "and" Liu "are homophonic, and folding the willow farewell means talking about staying, expressing a feeling of reluctance to leave as soon as possible.

"Xicheng Lane Yangliuchun is soft, moving away from sorrow, tears cannot be collected. I still remember my feelings. I once went back to the boat for the department.

In the days of Bi Ye Zhu Qiao, people disappeared and the water flowed in vain. "(Qin Guan's" Jiangchengzi ") Another point is that there is a farewell song of" Zheyangliu "in ancient music.

For example, there is the song "Folding Willow" in Han Yuefu's "Cross Blowing Song". There is a saying in the folk song "Folding Willow Songs" in the Northern Dynasties, "If you don't mention the whip when you get on the horse, fold Yang Liuzhi instead".

Wang Zhihuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote Liangzhou Ci: "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and the lonely city is covered with Wan Ren Mountain. Why bother to complain about the willow, the spring breeze is only Yumenguan. "

Among them, "Liu Yang" refers to the song "Folding Liu Yang". Li Bai's "Smelling the Flute in Luoyang on a Spring Night" is even better: "Yu Di flies and scatters into the spring breeze in Los Angeles.

In this nocturne, the willow is broken, and no one can afford to be homesick. "Smell the flute and arouse homesickness, touch the worry, why? Therefore, the flute plays the song "Folding Willow"! Second, the willows sing a beautiful spring. Willow grows in spring, dense in summer and luxuriant in branches and leaves. Therefore, the ancients often used willow to praise spring and nature.

For example, "Yin's back eaves, Luo tang qian." (Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Garden") "The rain in Tianjie is crisp and crisp, and the grass color is far away.

This is the most beautiful season of the year, far better than the late spring of the green willow. "(Han Yu's" Light Rain in Early Spring ")" Spring breeze willows green, Chu smoke light rain. "

(Yan Shu's "Complain") "There are one or two orioles at the bottom of the leaves, and the sheep are light in the daytime." (Yan Shu's "Broken Array") "Poplar smoke is lighter than Xiaohan, and red apricot branches are full of spring."

(Song Qi's "Yulouchun") "Yichuan tobacco, full of wind, plum yellow rain." (He Zhu's Jade Case) The spring scenery is beautiful and picturesque, which makes people linger.

One of the most famous poems of the Tang Dynasty poet He Yong Liu sings beautiful spring scenery through the willow: "Jasper is dressed as a tree, and thousands of strands of moss hang down. I don't know who cut the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors. "

The use of metaphor and personification not only shows the exquisite beauty of willow leaves, praises the vitality of spring, but also arouses readers' association, leaving a very broad imagination space, which can be called willow's eternal swan song. There are also willows that express their feelings of cherishing and hurting spring.

For example, "the willow is dark and the flowers are bright, and the smoke is woven." Begonia has not been wet by the rain, pear blossoms are like snow, but it's a pity that spring is half over.

Now the past is hard to recall, and the soul in the dream walks around the boudoir building where you lived. Acacia only exists, lilac branches and nutmeg tops. "

Another example is, "Baling Bridge is intertwined with smoke and willow, and the scenery is the best." Yang withered and Liu withered, and after several climbs, the waist of Chu Palace was gaunt. "

(Liu Yong's Youth Journey) organically combines the feelings of hurting spring, parting and lovesickness. Third, describe women and love with willows. From an aesthetic point of view, willows are swaying in the wind, shy and dependent on people, with a variety of postures and customs, which are very feminine and feminine. Therefore, the ancients often used willows to describe the posture and appearance of women.

"Petals are like her face, willow leaves are like her eyebrows" (Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow), "Cherry Su Fan mouth, willow waist." (Bai Juyi's Unforgettable Feelings) Expressed the graceful posture and elegant posture of women in the form of "arch eyebrows" and "slim waist", as at present.

Liu's aesthetic pleasure is also reflected in the description of love. "On the willow tip moon, people meet after dusk."

What a beautiful mood and love! "Willow green Jiang Shuiping, Wen Lang Jiang's song. Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, the road is sunny but sunny. "

(Liu Yuxi's "Zhi Zhu Ci") The poem is based on the rise of willows, with feelings in the scenery, and depicts a wonderful picture of poetry, painting and philosophy. And willows.
