At that time, the feeling of Six Chapters of a Floating Life as the title was so beautiful!
I am curious why it is Six Chapters of a Floating Life and what is Six Chapters. When I grow up, I look for the original work, only to know that the second dictionary of "Floating Life" tells Li Bai that "the husband of heaven and earth, everything goes against the course; Time flies, one hundred generations fly by. And floating like a dream, for the joy of geometry? " .
The so-called "six chapters" refer to the happiness, leisure, frustration, worry, wandering, Zhongshan calendar and health preservation of the boudoir. Unfortunately, Yang Yinchuan, the brother-in-law of Wang Tao in the Qing Dynasty, found the remnant manuscript of Six Chapters of a Floating Life in a cold stall in Suzhou, with only four volumes. What a pity!
This book is an autobiographical essay written in the 13th year of Jiaqing (1808).
Author Shen Fu (1763— 1825), born in Changzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), was a writer in Qing Dynasty.
Poetry, painting and prose works.
So far, no written record about his life has been found.
According to his "Six Chapters of a Floating Life", he was born in an aide family, never took the imperial examination, and once made a living by selling paintings.
His wife, Chen Yun, has a congenial temperament and deep feelings. He is willing to eat plain clothes and engage in artistic life. However, due to the oppression of feudal ethics and the hardships of poor life, his ideal has not been realized, and he has experienced the pain of where you will go.
After his wife died, he went to Sichuan as an adjutant. The situation is unknown since then.
This book is based on the life of the author Shen Fu and his wife, and wins the ordinary and interesting family life in Wandering.
After a brief look, I feel that the text is fresh and true, without traces of carving and modification, and the plot is affectionate to death;
It begins with joy, ends with worry, and gradually drifts away, making people sad and moving.
Later generations have commented on this book, saying that "it is not inferior to Mr. Zhenchuan's' graceful and restrained canopy'. The writer is quiet and motionless, even if Tsao Gong and Qin Xue stand in front of him, they are not complacent. They are autobiographies, more touching than novels. It's true, but it's like a spring dream. " Unpleasant.
It is said that the most beautiful and classic book in the national context is Six Chapters of a Floating Life.
At the Dragon TV Reading Super IP Festival, writers and stars gathered.
One of the links is to let actors recommend their favorite books to everyone.
When the host Cao Kefan asked Hugh, he only said one book: Six Chapters of a Floating Life.
Hugh said that he chose this book because of a very touching scene in "Big Rivers": in the play, Lei Dongbao came to the grave of his beloved wife Song at the first time to tell her the good news after successfully purchasing the electric wire factory.
Many times, Lei Dongbao is remembering the dribs and drabs of his wife's life.
This sincere feeling reminds him of Shen Fuhe and the girl in Six Chapters of a Floating Life.
Hugh believes that besides success and chicken soup for the soul, we can also find some small happiness in life, because the real happiness is actually hidden in our small life.
Not only Hugh, 20 16 Wang Han also said that Six Chapters of a Floating Life was his first classic literary work.
What moved Wang Han and Hugh was not only the details of life in Six Chapters of a Floating Life, but also the aesthetics of life beyond material things and the plain but sincere love.
There are many kinds of beautiful love in the world:
"I have crossed bridges in many places, seen clouds many times and drunk many kinds of wine, but I have only loved one person at the right age." This is the love between Shen Congwen and Zhang Zhaohe.
"I before you, I didn't want to get married. After meeting you, I didn't consider others when I got married. " This is the love between Qian Zhongshu and Jiang Yang.
"Every time I miss you, a grain of sand falls from the sky, and the Sahara has been formed since then." This is the love between San Mao and Jose.
Of course, Wang Xiaobo met his Li Yinhe: "We seem to be at the bottom of a pond, walking from one moon to another."
For modern people, the sentence "When I meet you, I meet the whole world" is also touching.
The love between Shen Fu and Yun Niang was deeply hidden in Suzhou, south of the Yangtze River, 200 years ago. This is the most beautiful love in the world! ! !
As the heroine of this book, Shen Fu's cousin, beloved wife and lifelong goddess Chen Yun (Mother Sheep), her brilliance has far overshadowed her husband.
Among many versions of Six Chapters of a Floating Life on the market, Mr. Lin Yutang's English version is the best.
This is Mr. Lin's most skilled translation. He claimed to have revised the manuscript more than ten times before and after, and was widely praised after being published in British magazines.
In the preface of the book, Lin Yutang called Yunniang "the cutest woman in the history of China literature".
I think if a general election is held to choose an "ideal wife" from women in history, I'm afraid my mother will win the crown.
"You can't be ugly when you are in love", "You can't live in this world, but you will live forever". If you have a wife like a mother, what else can you ask for?
From a man's point of view, the "cuteness" of a mother lies in largely satisfying all men's fantasies about the perfect wife.
Although she did not grasp the charm of the country, but "a lingering state, the meaning of people is gone", is also lovely, I still feel pity;
She is gentle and silent. "There is no day when you are sad, just smile.
Respect things and make peace;
She is small and talented, proficient in poetry and songs, but not as talented as Li Qingzhao to make her husband feel ashamed;
She's funny. She can accompany her husband to enjoy the moon and flowers, talk about the past and the present, and make men indulge in drinking tea and reading at night.
She can live and work in peace and contentment, and she doesn't complain when life is hard. Even when she was ill, she had to make embroidery to make a living. When her husband wanted to find a way out with his friends, she went to pull firewood to sell wine and cook.
She doesn't know her parents-in-law at all. She was accused by her mother-in-law for no reason and scolded by her father-in-law, but she did not excuse herself at all. The way is, "it is better to blame Weng than to disagree with your aunt."
My father-in-law wanted to take a concubine, and she tried her best to find one. My mother-in-law was very unhappy. She quickly wrote to her husband, asking someone to bring the woman back early.
She was generous and tried her best to find a "beautiful and rhythmic" concubine for her husband, but the one in love was taken away by the rich, and she was seriously ill herself …
In Suzhou, surrounded by cliffs, small ponds, stone fences and a pool of autumn water, idealistic couples, although poor, can make fun of their hardships and live a simple and leisurely life. Such a wife is hard to find! ! !
Unfortunately, such a nearly perfect wife is not allowed by feudal ethics. She was lovelorn with her in-laws, weak, and died at the age of 4 1.
Due to the early death of Chen Yun, the love and marriage of the couple are both enviable and regrettable. Playing the harp and singing for 23 years, they never grow old together!
In fact, the initial combination between Shen Fu and his mother was almost pure: forty years after Qianlong, 13-year-old Shen Fu followed his mother to his grandmother's house, where he met his cousin's mother for the first time in his life.
Mother has fine features and delicate and touching.
As long as you fall in love at first sight, you fall in love, and Shen Fu vows to be her partner for life.
Love often goes from impulse to the end of marriage.
Shen Fu doesn't know where his courage comes from. He said to his mother, "I will never marry again in my life."
Mother also likes the bride, so she took off the gold ring and gave it to her, and the marriage was settled.
Actually, they are a good match. Shen's father 18 years old, so is his mother 18 years old. Shen's father is 65,438+00 months younger than his mother, but there is no stumbling between the young couple. Their marriage "diamond cut diamond" will remain unchanged for life-
Their attitudes towards life are quite different.
Mother just married into Shenyang, too polite to talk.
Shen Fu is straightforward and informal.
He often makes her laugh, and gradually she becomes cheerful.
Shen Fu, a teenager, often chats with his friends. He is youthful and likes to talk a few big words, and a nun will take care of Shen Fu's face and carefully remind him: "Three Whites (Shen Fu's words) are blown again."
They are diamond cut diamond in aesthetics.
Shen Fu loves to collect broken paintings, and Yun Niang loves to collect old books.
Collected broken paintings, danced and danced, and showed them to my mother for appreciation;
Put the old books in order, and the bride will be overjoyed to show them to Shen Fu.
Books and paintings are worn out and old, but what about them? This is the simplest happiness.
They are equally interested in diamond cut diamond.
Shen reread poems, liked Du Fu, and nuns loved Li Bai.
Husband and wife sit down and talk about poetry, often gushing. In a room, you love your Du Gongbu and I love my Li Taibai.
After the chat, smile at each other.
In private, the best thing about love is that you don't have to please and I don't have to compromise. We go hand in hand, like-minded and grow together.
The best way to get married is even, diamond cut diamond.
Only when spiritual mountains and rivers meet bosom friends and friends generally get along on an equal footing in life can such love be the most beautiful, interesting and lasting.
Unfortunately, in the repressive feudal society, Chen Yun, a lovely figure with human nature, is like a bright color in the dark, which makes all living beings marvel, but in the end, she involuntarily becomes a victim of ethical codes-because she is "deviant".
The "deviant" of value orientation.
No matter what age you are in, women have always been immune to jewelry and clothes, and they can't wait to move all the shops selling brand-name bags and clothes home.
However, Six Chapters of a Floating Life, as a sketch focusing on family life, has never seen a word about the heroine's purchase of gold hairpin, flowers, cloth and clothes.
The only description involving "jewelry" is that mother sheep wants to send a pearl necklace to her sister-in-law.
There is a saying in "Boudoir Music": my cousin's wife, Mr. Wang Xuzhou's granddaughter, occasionally lacks pearls when promoting makeup, and the recipient is my mother, and the maid-in-waiting treasures it. Yunri: "All the girls are pure yin, and pearls are the essence of pure yin. As jewelry, they are both masculine and feminine. Why is it expensive? "
Even the maid felt sorry for her, but the mother felt "what's expensive?" So, what is "expensive" in a mother's eyes? The answer is books and stones.
There is a saying in "Boudoir Music": Broken books and paintings are extremely treasured, and occasionally a piece of paper, such as a rare treasure, will be sold every time Feng Yi, an old neighbor, collects random volumes.
The "deviant" of words and deeds.
In ancient times, women's words and deeds were strictly regulated, such as staying at home, smiling without showing teeth, giving and receiving without kissing, etc. If their daughters and wives appear in public, they will be accused of misconduct.
For example, in the 25th episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Baoyu and Xifeng were possessed by evil spirits, and everyone panicked. Only Xue Pan is busier than anyone else: afraid of crushing Aunt Xue, afraid of meeting Xue Baochai, and afraid of Xiangling losing face.
However, with the encouragement and support of her husband Shen Fu, the married bride showed us a different bride like a rebellious girl.
A woman disguised as a man went to the temple fair. Because in the "Flower Photo" temple fair, Shen Fu saw the lively scene of "flowers in clusters, Baoding fragrant, just like the Dragon Palace banquet", and when he came back, he told Yun, who was very envious. So Shen Fumeng, who is also free and easy, gave birth to the idea of dressing up as a woman.
Yu Yue said, "coronating me and dressing me are also ways to turn women into men."
So it's easy to braid a braid and add a moth eyebrow sweep; Add a crown to reveal two manes, which can be hidden; Take the rest of the clothes, one and a half inches long; Fold it around your waist and sew it, plus a coat. The two of them got carried away at the temple fair, so that the bride accidentally met a girl and had to take off her hat and show her feet to prove that she was the same sex, and then she saved the day.
Drunk on a moonlit night.
Shen Fu and his wife took advantage of their condolences to Wujiang to swim in Taihu Lake and met an acquaintance. So the three of them "don't light the lamp, wait for the moon to drink quickly, and shoot for the order", while Yun actually "drank in high spirits and didn't feel drunk, but was paid back by Yu Xian".
The dignified and elegant girl was so drunk that she had to go back first.
How much courage and courage it takes to do such an act under the imprisonment of feudal ethics!
Although it was an accidental move, the mother's rebellious and individuality-seeking side was revealed.
Aesthetic taste of "deviant"
In feudal society, women's lack of talent is virtue.
However, girls are self-taught without a teacher, and there is a saying in the boudoir that "autumn invades the map and frost dyes chrysanthemum fat".
After marriage, with the guidance and help of her husband Shen Fu, her literary accomplishment has also been greatly improved.
Moreover, in the boudoir, I took the initiative to discuss with my husband "all kinds of ancient prose, what is it?"
Generally speaking, a gentle, dignified and virtuous character like Mama Yun should like a rigorous and mature style of writing, but Mama Yun said, "The meter is rigorous, the words are old-fashioned, and the degree is unique.
But Li Shiwan, like a fairy, has a taste of falling into the water and is lovely.
It's not Du's, but my shallow selfishness and my deep love for Li.
The bride likes Li Bai, who is fresh and elegant, bold and free and easy. It is really unique and surprising.
Yunniang's literary aesthetic is good, and her life interest is unique.
Homemade plum blossom box. Six two-inch white magnetic deep plates, one in the middle and five outside, painted gray, shaped like plum blossoms, with sunken bottom covers and covered with flower stems.
During the period of borrowing Xiao Shuang Building, the old bamboo curtain was used to "replace the column with the curtain";
At home in rural Fahrenheit, bamboo poles and wooden sticks are used as "living screens";
Put tea in pistil to increase aroma and so on.
In the end, Mother Sheep involuntarily became a victim of ethical codes. She just lost her fragrance and was not confused. Alas! What a pity!
As I put pen to paper, I remembered the words I didn't know what to fill in, and sang a song "Six Chapters of a Floating Life" through Hana's embroidered mouth in Xia Na:
Ganlong Jiayin, summer courtyard, full of windows dyed with green shade.
When I got home, the tea was cooked in Qing Xiang, and the window was bright and clean, and you stood there.
Years ago at dusk, I also crossed the ink for you.
Remembering the remnants of Mei Mo, the first sunrise will clear up and the guests will be happy.
Spring and autumn morning and evening, persimmon chrysanthemum, faint river.
Courtyard under the bridge, fireworks and monks, tea, rice and cloth, a room full of harmony,
Sweep the world with a dustpan to do Brahma Qing, and the breeze from Panasonic loses me a game.
At dusk, when the moon falls, the lights are dim, and you hold the suture tightly.
The world of mortals is clear on the road, and tung leaves are withered in front of the building.
Raogusu south city north city, but home, like last autumn, has become a vision.
He once said that he would stay in the city and take Kyle with him.
In this world, it is unpredictable and half-life.
The moon is loose, the autumn night is silent, and the dreams are broken.
I've seen it rain in Mao Mao, and you hold my clothes, as if I can remember it vividly.
That spring, Qionghua lost her mind, sang acacia and remembered each other.
I didn't know that God was heartless. It's been years, and I just feel sorry for it.
Zeng San knelt at home, happy, and came to his hometown to live alone.
Look at bloom, a battleground for military strategists, and bury a pot of wine for the rest of your life.
Consciously, fate is over, no matter how many mistakes people make, let Feng Yue mock for half a lifetime, and brushing heaven and earth by hand becomes a sentence: Why!
Splash ink on rice paper and let the years touch the moss.
White waves in the river dyed floating paper.
Zeng San knelt at home, happy, and came to his hometown to live alone.
Look at bloom, a battleground for military strategists, and bury a pot of wine for the rest of your life.
Consciously, fate is over, no matter how many mistakes people make, let Feng Yue mock for half a lifetime, and brushing heaven and earth by hand becomes a sentence: Why!
Holding the pen and losing the title: "Six Chapters of a Floating Life" …
