Background of the work:
This poem originally has no source, and the general idea is to refer to the poem "Baiyi Qingxiang Poetry Collection - Farewell to Thought". However, the line "only envious of mandarin ducks, not envious of immortality" is supposed to be derived from Lu Zhaolin's "Ancient Ideas of Chang'an", one of the Four Heroes of the early Tang Dynasty.
While the original line reads "I wish to be a mandarin duck but not envious of immortality", the current popular saying "I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortality" is not the same as the original line. And now the popular "only envious of lovebirds not envious of immortality", although because of the "Sin Maiden Spirit" movie fame and fame.
There is also an explanation for this verse, which should come from the hand of contemporary martial arts master Liang Yusheng: according to the author (the author of the "gift" gift network "test: Liang Yusheng in at least three martial arts novels inside the "only envious of mandarin ducks, not envious of immortality".
One is in the "Guangling Sword" of the twenty-fourth borrowed Duan Jianping mouth; the second is in the "Three Heroines of Jianghu" borrowed Shen in the broad and Lu Sinniang's conversation said. The third is the little lyric of "Raccoon Creek Sand" at the end of "The Fate of the Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Hairpin".
Of course, the charming poem in the movie "Sinister Spirit" should be either the screenwriter of the "Sinister Spirit" piece, Ruan Jizhi, or the producer Tsui Hark, as the poem first appeared in a painting in the "Sinister Spirit" directed by Ching Siu-tung.
The original text should read: "Ten miles of the Pinghu Lake frost filled the sky, inches of green silk sad years. The moon is the only thing I look at to protect each other, only envious of mandarin ducks, not envious of immortality", but before that, in 1959, Li Hanxiang's "Sin Maiden's Soul", there is: "Ten miles of flat lakes and frosty skies, jade hairpins darkly cherish the years of life. If the rain cover can protect each other, only envious of mandarin ducks, not envious of immortality", Xu version can be seen and changed from Li version.
Modern Liang Yusheng Guangling Sword, 24th: "Duan Jianping smiled bitterly:" What is worth envying, the ancient cloud dry gold easy to get, difficult to find a soulmate. Also said only envy lovebirds not envy immortal, if there is a confidant, that is worth envying ah!"
Han Zhi puffed a laugh and said, "So you are envious of this. So the person you envy is--" Modern Liang Yusheng "Three Heroines of the Jianghu Lake" 48th: "Shen in the broad pious perseverance, waited for ten years, this time is really the heart of the flower of joy, happy to forget the words.
Lv Sinniang smiled sweetly and said softly: "I remember that you once set two lines of Ouyang Yongshu's words: see and rest still like a dream, sit down although close to far as the sky. Can still think so?" Shen Zaikuan said, "I think of the first two lines of this lyric.
Chu Wang stage a fairy, eye color look at each other intention of their own transmission. No, I am only envious of the lovebirds but not the immortals, and the immortals on the Chu King's stage may not be as joyful as I am today."
