What do you say about thick fat and fragrant powder? Why are your temples frosted again? Yesterday, the loess dragon sent bones, and tonight, the red light lies at the bottom of the account. A box full of gold and a box full of silver, all beggars were slandered in an instant. I am lamenting that his life is not long, but I don't know that I am back! If you train well, you will never be a strong beam in the future. Choose cream beam, who wants to live in Yanhua Lane! Because the gauze cap is too small, it locks the cangue bar. I felt embarrassed about the cold coat yesterday, but now I think the purple python is too long. This is chaos, you can sing, I will appear, I will realize that my hometown is my hometown; That's ridiculous. In the end, it was all on the wedding dresses for other girls!
Translation:
In the past, wealth was unparalleled. Now, how can you grow sideburns in Bai Rushuang? The old man died, the new man came, and it was ridiculous and boring to take part in accidental amusement at the end of the dream. A box full of gold and silver suddenly became a beggar and was accused. Still lamenting his poor life, I didn't expect it to end like this. Although you have taught your son well, there is no guarantee that he will not be a bandit in the future; Who would have thought that a son-in-law would wander around the ballroom for his daughter?
Not satisfied with the size of the official position, you can only carry shackles in the end. Yesterday, I was broke. It's hard to keep out the cold with only a worn coat. Today is either rich or expensive, and the purple python is too long. Life is like a play, one after another. You just took off your makeup. It's my turn to appear. After singing, I suddenly found myself busy sewing wedding clothes for others all my life, and I was busy in vain.
It was first published in A Dream of Red Mansions by Cao Xueqin in Qing Dynasty.
There are still a few words in front: "The humble room is empty, and the beds are full in those years; Dry grass withered poplar, used to be a ballroom. Cobwebs cover carved beams, and green yarn is attached to the awning window. "
It means: today's empty hall and humble room are the luxury houses with beds full of water boards. Today's dead trees and withered grass are places for executives to drink and have fun.
Once luxurious houses were covered with spider silk, but now green gauze is stuck on the ceiling window.

background
In the first episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, after Zhen's family business was destroyed, the couple moved to the grange in the country. Catch up with the "drought, drought, mice steal bees", there is no place to live, so we have to sell land to my father-in-law's house. His father-in-law is also a stingy and greedy man, and he got all the money he had left into his own hands.
Zhen's "bitterness and anger plus pain" and "poverty and illness" were cornered. One day, he was walking on crutches in the street when he suddenly saw a "crazy" lame Taoist coming and chanting this song. After listening to Zhen, he repeatedly recited "good misinterpretation."
works appreciation
This "Notes on Good Songs" is a further concrete and vivid exposition of the ideas expressed in "Good Songs".
It vividly depicts all kinds of decline scenes on the eve of the collapse of feudal rule: the jade board full of beds disappeared, leaving only empty scattered halls; The dance floor is full of withered grass and poplar; Painted carved beams and painted buildings are covered with cobwebs; The son became a beggar and the young lady became a prostitute; The dignitaries put on shackles, but the sour Confucian upstarts put on purple pythons.
This step down, that step up again, it's ridiculous and absurd. This is the so-called "good" (liberation), which means "good"
It can be seen from this that the good days of the landlord class have come to an end, and all the rulers are fighting for power and profit, intrigue and intrigue, facing the grim reality of economic collapse, political decline, moral corruption, each generation is worse than the next, and there is no successor.
The author used "Finally Married for Other Girls" to ridicule the ridiculousness of this class's struggle for power and profit before dying. The political, economic and moral crisis of the feudal ruling class revealed by the author in his songs and his negative attitude towards the power struggle within the rulers are worthy of recognition.
However, due to the limitation of his time, Cao Xueqin couldn't find a realistic way out, so the "goodness" advocated here is "music" and "music" is "goodness", which contains strong nihilism and religious color.
