At the beginning of Romance of the West Chamber, the male protagonist comes forward and introduces himself first. He is the son of the Minister of Rites. His parents are deceased. He has a brother named Du Que, who is the champion of martial arts and commands an army of 100,000. He is the Grand Marshal of the Conquest of the West, Zhang Junrui. When I came here, I met my brothers and then prepared for the Chang'an imperial examination.
After that, Zhang Junrui saw the Yellow River and sang the song.
Wherever the wind and waves of the nine curves appear, it is only in this place. This river leads Qiliang, divides the Qin and Jin Dynasties, and has narrow passes; snow waves beat in the sky, and autumn clouds roll in the sky; bamboo cable pontoon bridges, and blue dragons croak on the water; the east and west are divided into Kyushu, and the north and south are connected by hundreds of rivers. How can I see if it’s time to return to the boat? But it's like an arrow suddenly leaving the string.
I just suspect that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky; the abyss, springs, and clouds are hanging outside, and it is not far away from this path when entering the East Ocean. It nourishes thousands of flowers in Luoyang, nourishes thousands of hectares of fields in Liangyuan, and even reaches the sun and moon.
These two pieces are all about the Yellow River, and they are also one of the few famous pieces that are all about the situation of the Yellow River after Li Bai was about to enter the wine.
Zhang Junrui came here to inquire about where to stay, and learned about Queen Zetian's Incense Courtyard and Pujiu Temple. He also met Cui Yingying's family in the temple.
Cui Yingying is the daughter of the former prime minister, but her father Cui Jue died. Currently, there are only four people: mother, Cui Yingying, matchmaker, and Huanlang. This temple was built by Cui Yingying's father Cui Jue, and the coffin is also parked here at this time.
The image of Cui Yingying is also different from that of ordinary girls. When Li Qingzhao described it, she said, "When guests come in, her socks are cut and her gold hairpin slips away. She walks away in shame, leaning against the door and looking back, sniffing the green plums." However, Cui Yingying has no other thoughts. , Zhang Junrui, an outsider, was looking at her, but she still held the flowers and smiled softly, showing her innocence, naturalness and generosity.
After Zhang Junrui arrived at Pujiu Temple, he wanted to fall in love with Cui Yingying, so he settled in Pujiu Temple. However, Cui Yingying's family was very strict, so Zhang Junrui could not contact Cui Yingying privately, so he took advantage of the night to worship Cui Yingying when she came out to worship the moon. Sometimes, he recited poems to attract Cui Yingying's attention.
The West Chamber has become a famous novel and is familiar to people. In addition to the story expressing free love and breaking through the moral code, the lyrics are so classic.
For example: the jade sky is dust-free, the Milky Way casts its shadow across the sky, and the garden is filled with shadows of flowers; the clothes are cold and the heart is on guard. Listen with your ears attentively and walk on tiptoe: quietly, quietly, etc.
The scenery, feelings, movement and stillness are clearly written, and the scene of first love is also described in detail.
Zhang Junrui recited poems, and Cui Yingying unexpectedly made peace, which made Zhang Junrui overjoyed.
Just when the relationship between the two people was progressing, Sun Feihu jumped out. He commanded five thousand soldiers and horses, specializing in plundering. He heard that Cui Yingying had a beautiful appearance that would overwhelm the country and the city, and Xizi Taizhen's face, so he came specifically to rob Cui Yingying.
Cui's mother was shocked, and Cui Yingying was unwilling to mate with a thief. Finally, Cui's mother decided that Cui Yingying would be betrothed to anyone who could retreat the enemy soldiers and protect the family.
Zhang Junrui appeared and wrote to his brother Wu Zhuangyuan, and Du Que came to settle things here.
Zhang Junrui fully thought that the two of them would eventually make a good thing, but Cui's mother regretted the marriage at this time and asked Cui Yingying to recognize Zhang Junrui as her brother.
Zhang Junrui was furious, but Cui's mother told Cui Yingying about her engagement. Seeing that Cui's mother had no way to go, Zhang Junrui started to act like a matchmaker and played "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" for Cui Yingying. After the two separated, Zhang Junrui Got lovesick.
The matchmaker was busy helping the two resolve their misunderstanding, and finally allowed Cui Yingying to meet Zhang Junrui under the moonlight.
The plot of this song focuses on the sex scene between Zhang Junrui and Cui Yingying. Chen Yue focuses on the matchmaker. Zhang Junrui and Cui Yingying express their love to each other inside. The matchmaker sings outside, which is also the time when the moon is full and the flowers are beautiful. .
Songs from the 1930s and 1940s already have a lot of drama, so adding them together doesn't seem out of place.
The floating clouds disperse, the bright moon shines on people, and the happy reunion is intoxicating. In the clear and shallow pond, mandarin ducks are playing in the water, with red clothes and green cover, and lotuses are blooming. They are in love with each other. The soft wind is blowing towards the beautiful flowers, filling the world with tenderness and sweetness.
"hiss……"
It wasn't until he heard this that Gu Changyang was willing to breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, he had no intention of criticizing the characters in it. After all, The West Chamber, from Gu Changyang's perspective, was introduced by Lian Erchun. It was a song that Ximen officials loved to listen to. Until now, Gu Changyang felt that the story was too innocent.
As for Zhang Junrui and Cui Yingying's successful cultivation, it was because they broke through the restrictions of their parents when there were countless ways to go about it.
Gu Changyang is savoring the lyrics and music in Romance of the West Chamber. It is remarkable that there are three or five classic arias in one song. In Romance of the West Chamber, there are already several arias that Gu Changyang remembers deeply.
For example: Falling reds form an array, the wind is floating in the air and people are worried, the pond is dreaming of dawn, and spring is bid farewell to the sill; butterfly powder lightly touches the flying catkins, and the fragrance of swallow mud stirs up the falling flower dust; the spring mood is short and the willow silk is long, separated by the shadow of the flowers. People are as close as the world is far away. The fragrance eliminates the golden powder of the Six Dynasties and clears away the spirit of the Three Chus.
There is also Sima Xiangru’s Feng Qiuhuang.
And the two people's secret words: Under the moonlight in the west chamber, the door facing the wind is half open, the shadows of flowers on the partition wall are moving, and it is suspected that a beautiful woman is coming.
And here comes the allusion of "a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold".
This was originally Su Dongpo's "Spring Night", a poem that simply describes a spring night and advises people to cherish time. After being distorted here, it has since become a poem about a tryst between men and women.
Later, it was Cui's mother who discovered the clues and tortured the matchmaker. Cui Yingying wanted to cover up the matter, but the matchmaker directly exposed it. And when Cui's mother questioned the matchmaker, the matchmaker turned back and attacked Cui's mother for being dishonest. Now what happened It was done, Cui's mother asked Zhang Junrui to take the exam in Beijing. Only after he got the official position could he meet Cui Yingying.
Zhang Junrui went to the country to take the exam and said goodbye to Cui Yingying.
After half a year apart, Zhang Junrui was the top scholar in high school, but Cui Yingying's fiancé came to make trouble and lied that Zhang Junrui was married in Beijing, which added many twists and turns to the two of them. At the end of the story, it was naturally a happy reunion.
"well……"
Gu Changyang finally sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you remember that Jun Rui in Lian Er Chun met Cui's daughter?"
Gu Changyang said: "Isn't this the content of the story of The West Chamber? Ordinary people write slowly and think carefully. When Chen Yue writes, it is more like he has the whole story in his heart, but only describes a corner."
After reading Romance of the West Chamber, Gu Changyang was surprised to find that the content of Romance of the West Chamber had already been described in Lian Erchun. In the bed scene between Ximen Qing and Li Ping'er, it was said that it was like Jun Rui meeting Ying Niang. There were also several subsequent scenes where Cui was named. Daughter of the clan.
This clue and the clues from The West Chamber are all in Lian Erchun, and now that The West Chamber appears, they wake up and realize that this is a story.
Grass snake gray line!
"Speaking of which, is Queen Zetian the Wu Zetian who was written about in Lian Er Chun?"
"Chen Yue is really... amazing!"
“It’s written like this, unprecedented in ancient and modern times!”
"Win the world!"
