Song Qin Guan's "The Magpie Bridge Immortal"
The delicate clouds are delicate, the flying stars are hateful, and the Yinhan is a long way away from the darkness.
Once we meet, we are better than the rest of the world.
The love is like water, the good time is like a dream, bear to take care of the magpie bridge to return to the road.
If two lovers are in love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and in the evening?

Reunion in the golden wind and frosty day, better than the earth how many mundane love.
More than that, we can't say that this is like flowing water, and we can't regret that the good times are just like a dream.
More than a couple of years ago, I was in the middle of a long journey, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it to the top of the list.
As long as it is a true love long heart, and why should the night and day to get together in this life.

But this is like the autumn wind, dew like a short meeting, but to be better than the world of those partners day and night long together.
This lingering love, as if the Milky Way in the river flow through the years, unceasingly; this dream-like short meeting, and ultimately to the end, how can bear to look back at that from the magpie bridge back to the road wow! If two people's feelings can be immortal, forever and ever, why should they care if they are able to love each other and spend time with each other?
Appreciation 1
This is a poem about the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The first line demonstrates the unique lyrical atmosphere of the seventh day of the lunar calendar, and the words "coquettishness" and "hatefulness" are the theme of the seventh day of the lunar calendar and the theme of "begging for coquettishness" and the theme of "hatefulness". "The first line shows the unique lyrical atmosphere of the Tanabata. The story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden celebrates chaste and sincere love. The concluding line, "If love lasts forever, is it not in the morning and the evening" is the most beautiful, which not only refers to the characteristics of the love pattern of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden, but also expresses the author's view of love, which is a highly condensed famous sentence. The lyrics thus have an aesthetic value and artistic taste that transcends generations and national boundaries.
This word is a melting pot of scenic, lyrical and discursive writing, recounting the mythological story of Altair and Vega's love for each other, giving a strong human flavor to this pair of lovers, and eulogizing the love that is sincere, delicate, pure and chaste. The word expressly written in the sky two stars, secretly written on earth couple; its lyricism, to the music scene to write sad, to the sad scene to write music, doubling its sadness, read the breathtaking, heartfelt.
The word began to write "delicate clouds", gentle and colorful clouds, changing many beautiful and ingenious patterns, showing the weaver's craftsmanship how exquisite. However, such a beautiful person, but not with their beloved *** with a good life. "Flying Stars Passing on Hate", those shining stars seem to be passing on their parting sorrows and hate, and are flying through the sky.
On the Milky Way, "Nineteen Ancient Poems" said, "The river is clear and shallow, how many times do they go apart? The river is clear and shallow, how far away is it from each other?" "Between the water", near at hand, it seems that even the other side of the expression of speech are just like the eye. Here, Qin Guan wrote: "Yin Han Long Long Dark Crossing", to "Long Long" two words to describe the vastness of the Milky Way, the distance between the cow and the girl. This change deepens the feelings and emphasizes the pain of longing. The Milky Way separates two people who love each other, and it is not easy for them to see each other! The word "secretly" both point "Tanabata" theme, while closely linked to a "hate" word, they walk alone, a long way to meet.
Next, the lyricist dangled his pen and ink, and exclaimed in an emotionally charged discourse: "The golden wind and jade dew are better than countless other things on earth when they meet!" A pair of long-lost lovers met on the night of the golden wind and jade dew, on the shore of the Milky Way, and this wonderful moment was worth a thousand times the meeting on earth. The lyricist passionately celebrates an ideal holy and eternal love. The "Golden Wind and Jade Dew" is based on Li Shangyin's poem "Xinwei Tanabata," which reads, "I am afraid that it is a good time for the immortals to leave each other, so I teach them to make a long way for a good time. From the silver river to the blue river, we can have the golden wind and jade dew." The poem is used to describe the scenery of the time of the Tanabata meeting, but also has another deep meaning, the lyricist puts this precious meeting in the background of golden wind and jade dew, ice and jade, showing the noble purity of this kind of love and transcendence.
"Love is like water", the love of the two love meeting ah, like a long silent water, is so gentle and lingering. A good time is like a dream that passes away abruptly, only to see each other again, how can it not be heart-breaking! "In addition to the shortness of the meeting time, the complexity of the couple's feelings during the meeting is also written out. "Can't bear to look at the magpie bridge and return to the road", turn to write the separation, just borrowed to meet the magpie bridge, and then turned into a split with the love of the road back. I don't say I can't bear to leave, but I say I can't bear to look at the magpie bridge and return to the road, which contains unlimited feelings of farewell and unlimited tears of bitterness.
Reviewing the good time of the meeting, doubtful of the truth, like a dream like a phantom, and to the magpie bridge to say goodbye, the feelings of love, has been to the extreme. The word pen to this suddenly and air turn, burst out of the high-pitched sound: "two love if it is a long time, and not morning and evening!" Qin Guan these two words reveal the true meaning of love: love to withstand the test of a long separation, as long as they can love each other sincerely, even if they are separated from each other all year round, but also more valuable than the vulgar love of the night and day. These two sentences of emotionally charged discussion, and the discussion of the previous piece echo, so that the same structure of the upper and lower pieces, narrative and discussion between, thus forming the whole piece of continuous ups and downs of the mood. This correct concept of love, this noble spirit, far more than similar works in ancient times, is very rare and precious.
The discussion of this song is free and fluent, easy to understand, but also seems to be euphemistic and inexhaustible. The author combines the eye-catching discussion and prose syntax with beautiful images and deep emotions, eulogizing the beautiful love on earth with ups and downs, and achieving excellent artistic effects.
The last two lines of the lyrics are the best songs of love in the ancient times.

Tanabata, July 7, is the legendary Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden in the days of the heavenly river, so the "Tanabata" is also called "Tanabata Acacia Festival", full of romantic colors. When they caught up with the weaving maiden, the Queen Mother suddenly pulled down the golden hairpin on her head and made a stroke to the ground, then the turbid waves were so strong that the cowherd and the weaving maiden were separated from each other on both sides of the river. The two can only tearful, looking at each other across the river, a moment to fly a large group of magpies, built a magpie bridge, the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden will go to the bridge to meet.
It is really funny to think that, at that time, really hated that long face of hemp Queen Mother, hate the heavenly soldiers and generals of the sky will be a thunder will be her death.
The movie is over, the partners are not yet finished, said Tanabata late at night, quietly hiding in the grape arbor or cotton field can be heard in the sky of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden's pulsating words of love. So, the village under the grape arbor, cotton field are crowded with a curious little head. By the next day, they all said they heard the laughter of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden, and no one admitted that they had heard nothing.
"Not yet will be how the intention of the Altair, must invite the Weaving Maiden to get the golden shuttle, year after year to beg with the coincidence of the earth, not to say the coincidence of the earth a few more."
Jiangsu folk also have "Tanabata" to send the custom of the fruit. In general, on the first day of July, mothers start to knead the noodles and cut them into the size of a broad bean, sunbathe them in the sun for two days, and then fry them like broad beans, divided into two flavors: sweet and salty, and buy some deep-fried noodle cakes and fruits to give to their daughters who have already got married, hoping that their daughters will have a pair of dexterous hands like the Weaving Maiden, and have a clever heart, and become a handy man in the inside and the outside to lead a happy and fulfilling life, and so, the "seven nights" is also a custom in Jiangsu. The "Tanabata" is also called "Beggar's Day".
My grandmother was far away from Huaian in the north of Jiangsu Province. Fortunately, my mother was born with a pair of dexterous hands, and she could make all kinds of coquettish fruits and deep-fried noodle cakes by herself.
Nowadays, the life is better, the western style is getting more and more prosperous, more and more young people advocate the Valentine's Day on February 14th, the merchants make a great deal of speculation, the roses and chocolates are too much publicity, less the Chinese people's unique subtlety and flavor. Now there are a lot of businesses noticed these, played the "Chinese Valentine's Day" signboard, I am extremely do not like, "Tanabata Acacia Festival" is originally a traditional Chinese holiday, why wear a foreigner's hat, indirectly for the foreigner to advertise it?
China's ancient history, moving legends, beautiful poetry, paved the Tanabata Festival rich cultural heritage, giving the Tanabata Festival magical charming atmosphere, people are intoxicated.
The most famous poem of the Tanabata Festival is the "Autumn Sunset" by Du Mu, a talented scholar: "The silver candles and the autumn light are cold on the painting screen, the small fan is light and the fireflies are fluttering, and the night is as cool as the water in the sky, and you are sitting and looking at the stars of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden." He appreciated the meeting of the two stars of the cow and the maiden in a calm state of mind, without saying that he appreciated it, he appreciated it.
Bai Juyi is written in a complex state of mind: "a few joyful feelings and hatred, year after year and in this night." Many poets think of the heavenly cowherd and the weaving maiden can still meet once a year, while some of the lovers on earth, once separated, never meet, issued an angry cry: "Do not suspect that the heavenly rare to see each other, better than the earth to go not back."
The most profound writing, the most flavor, meaning when the Song Qin Guan's "Magpie Bridge Immortal", the first half of the section with the "Golden Wind and Jade Dew a meeting, will be better than countless on earth," on the cattle and women will be issued in praise of the envy of the second half of the section with the "two love if it is a long time, and is not in the daytime and twilight! "The two sentences were ahead of their time, and now they are contemporary, so they are a perfect song for the ages!
A good poem, enduring, so great influence on the culture, art and life of the Chinese people, that is because it comes from the people, through the hearts of the people.
Appreciation 3
Qin Guan (1049--1100), the word Shaoyou, a word of Taixu, the name of Huaihai Jushi, a famous lyricist, was a native of Gaoyou, Yangzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty. Due to Su Shi's recommendation, Qin Guan worked as a doctor of the Imperial College and organized the national collection of books. He suffered repeated political blows due to party disputes and was deported to the far southwest. Died on the way back to the north after the pardon.
Qin Guan was born out of the door of Su Shi, but his poetry is a family of its own, especially in the name of words. His words are good at drawing, precise words, rich in rhyme. The collection of words has "Huaihai jushi long short sentence" appeared.
This poem is based on the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden. The lyricist breaks through the cliché, reflecting the complex feelings of the cowherd and the weaving maiden in a new and unique way, and celebrating the sincere and undying love. Especially "if two love is a long time, and is not in the morning and evening", a sweep of the stereotypes, turned out new ideas, became a song of the ages.
The first queue: write a good time to meet, lamenting the difficulty and preciousness of meeting.
"The delicate clouds, the flying star hate" with extremely simple and economical ink, with light and bright strokes, for the cowherd, the weaving maiden once a year party rendered the atmosphere. Under the author's pen, the faithful love of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden can't help but touch the gods in the sky and the people in the earthly world, as if it also touched all the things in the world to be touched by it, and at this good time of meeting, the colorful clouds come to "make a coincidence" for them, and the shooting stars also come to "pass on the hatred" for them, which is evident that the lyricist has a deep appreciation for the firmness of the cowherd and the weaving maiden. The lyricist's attitude towards the unswerving love of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden. The "Yin Han Long Long Dark Crossing" is the scene of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden quietly crossing the river on the night of July 7, which is the advancement of the plot.
"The golden wind and jade dew are better than countless other things on earth", here, the work from the first three sentences of the description and narration into the discussion, and then directly expresses the author's attitude towards love: although it is rare for them to meet each other, only once a year can there be a rare such as "golden wind", "jade dew", "jade dew", "jade dew", "jade dew", "jade dew", "jade dew" and "jade dew". Although it is rare for them to meet each other, and they can only have a rare and short gathering like "golden wind" and "jade dew" once a year, they have been waiting on both sides of the Milky Way for thousands of years, and they have been watching each other through the years, sharing the same heart and being faithful to each other till the end of their lives. Rarely a yearly gathering, rare to tell each other their feelings, each spit out the heart of endless thoughts and tenderness, but to be far better than those partners in the world day and night long together.
The next line: write the feelings of farewell, revealing the true meaning of love.
"The tenderness is like water, the good time is like a dream, bear to take care of the magpie bridge to return to the road", these three words extremely said that the cowherd and the weaving maiden love of the entanglement, the gathering of the short, the parting of the bitter pain intolerable. "tenderness like water", a year only once in a while to get together and talk, this lingering tenderness, like the river in the sky of the long flowing water, a short night how to say it. "Good time is like a dream", this meeting is dream-like short, dream-like fleeting, not only points out the shortness of the party, but also truly reveals their long goodbye after the reunion of the kind of dream-like dreamy and difficult to name the state of mind. The phrase "I can't bear to look at the road back from the magpie bridge" skillfully expresses the attachment and disappointment of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden at the time of their parting. Only a year to have this short gathering, and to hastily part, each back to its shore to wait again, that separate road, look intolerant, do not look intolerant, complex, painful, helpless feelings jumped off the page. Read the heart-rending, think of the tears.
"Two love if it is a long time, and not in the morning and evening", this is the words of the cowherd weaving to the heartfelt condolences - as long as the two love to death, until the end of time, why should I be greedy for the happiness of the morning and evening? At the same time is also the lyricist to the true love of the deep sense. This realization of the pen, so that the whole word sublimated to a new ideological extreme height.
The work organically integrates landscape writing, narrative, argumentation, and lyricism in a unique way, and with the ingenuity of the conception, the novelty of the mood, and the natural smoothness and elegance of the style, the ancient subject matter, the ancient love story, blossomed into a fresh and dazzling spark, which is a challenge to the traditional works of romance.
Commentary
Magpie Bridge Immortal was originally composed for the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden. The content of this song is also about this myth.
The story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden has been used to express the sorrows and joys of the human world in a superhuman way for a long time, for example, "A Long Way to the Star of the Altair" in the Nineteen Poems of Ancient Poetry, Cao Pi's "Swallow Song Xing", and Li Shangyin's "The Seven Evenings of the Xinwei Years", and so on. In the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu, Liu Yong, Su Shi, and Zhang Xian also sang on this theme, and although their phrasing varied, they all inherited the traditional theme of the "shortness of pleasure", with a mournful, poignant tone. In contrast, Qin Guan's words are unique and far-reaching.
The first piece is about the meeting at a good time, "weaving clouds" two sentences for the cowherd and the weaving maiden's annual meeting to render the atmosphere, the use of ink economy, light brush strokes. The sentence "Yinhan" is about the cowherd and the weaving maiden crossing the river to advance the plot. The two sentences of "Golden Wind and Jade Dew" turn from narration to discussion, expressing the author's ideal of love: although they seldom meet each other, they share the same heart and are closely connected, and once they are able to get together, in the cool autumn wind and white dew, they tell each other what they feel, spit out each other's heart, which is so rich in poetry and picturesque! This is far better than those who have been together for a long time, but they are separated from each other, is not this better than those who have been together for a long time?
The next piece is to write the feeling of farewell. "Soft like water", on the immediate scene, describing the cowherd weaving this love, as if the river in the sky of the long flowing water. "Good time is like a dream" not only points out the shortness of the meeting, but also truly reveals the dream-like state of mind after their long goodbye and reunion. "I can't bear to look at the road back from the Magpie Bridge" is about the attachment and disappointment of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden before parting. Instead of "forbear to tread", "forbear to look" has a deeper meaning: if you can't bear to look at it, how can you talk about anything else? "If the two love" two sentences on the cowherd weaving women to the deepest condolences: as long as the two love to death, why do not you want to be happy with the morning and evening happiness? This shocking, deafening pen, so that the whole word sublimated to a new height of thought.
Obviously, the author denies the vulgarity of the life of pleasure, and celebrates the long-lasting faithful love. Under his careful refinement and ingenious conception, the ancient subject matter is transformed into glittering ink and ink, bursting out dazzling sparks of thought, thus eclipsing all the mediocre works of romance.
This song is a blend of lyricism, landscape, and argument. The concept is novel, the conception is strange and unique. It is written in a natural and fluent manner, but also elegant and meaningful, with a lasting aftertaste.
Commentary
Zhang Yanjin, "Selected Lyrics of the Tang and Song Dynasties": Qin Guan's "Magpie Bridge Immortal" is unique and colorful, and it is a good work rich in the spirit of creativity. It neither lamented the shortness of the meeting nor expressed the veins of longing for each other. But it is a song that celebrates the unswerving and sincere love.
Shen Zufen "Song Lyrics Appreciation": the lyrics of the upper and lower part of the conclusion, the lyricist's view of love is different from the general view. He denied the vulgar life of pleasure and glorified the long-lasting and faithful love. This is rare at that time.
Knowledge of Literature and History (1982.12): Qin Guan's first piece of Magpie Bridge Immortal expresses his feelings with the words, "When the golden wind and jade dews meet, they are better than countless others on earth," and the second piece of the piece turns the meaning into a layer, which reveals the true meaning of love, "If love lasts forever, is it not in the morning and evening? The next piece of the lyricist will turn the meaning into a layer, saying "if two loves are long-lasting, is it not in the morning and the evening? This word for word, landing as the sound of gold and stone warning words, it is this word has been passed down for a long time, the key to the long and unfailing.
