Analysis:

. . . That is, since ancient times, feelings have been very rich, and many people have devoted themselves to it, leaving only regrets. And this regret will last for a long time, and it has been bothering me, and there is no time to stop.

What The Journey to the West's Pig Bajie often says is actually from the excerpts of Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow.

On Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow

In The Journey to the West, a Hong Kong-made TV series, Pig Bajie, who was punished for violating Chang 'e's sister for thousands of years, said: "Affection has been hated since ancient times, and this sorrow is endless." . Here, the old pig made a low-level mistake. The last sentence comes from "love has been idle since ancient times, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up." The next sentence is "everlasting, everlasting; One day both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever. . But since he is a pig, forgive him! Maybe he is smarter than we thought, and he can already make sentences, which is unknown.

There are many works about the story of Xuanzong and Yang Guifei in the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai's three Qingpingdiao, Du Fu's two Ai Jiangtou and Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow. Dramas include Bai Pu's Wu Tongyu and Hong Sheng's Palace of Eternal Life. I heard that Guan Hanqing also wrote this script, which was lost. Of course, Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow is the most famous. In addition, Wang Anyi has a novel called Song of Eternal Sorrow, which I haven't read, and I don't know what is the connection with Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow.

Since Bai Juyi's "On the seventh day of July, in the Palace of Eternal Life, we secretly told each other in the quiet midnight world". We hope to fly in heaven, two birds become one, grow on the earth, two branches of a tree ... the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever; One day both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever. "After the beautiful sentences that have been told through the ages. Tanabata is not only a story about the meeting of cowherd and weaver girl on the magpie bridge, but also a lifelong romantic story about Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Xianren Hall of Yang Guifei, making Tanabata another Valentine's Day in China besides Lantern Festival.

I like reciting Song of Eternal Sorrow very much. This poem has a good rhythmic beauty, and the antithesis is neat and gorgeous, with the atmosphere of the imperial family, such as "the clouds of her hair, the petals of her cheeks, the golden ripples of her crown when she moves, and the warm hibiscus curtain covers her in the spring night." "The Golden Temple is decorated for the night, and the Jade Building sets the table, so she idles and drinks wine slowly." "... high rose plum palace, into blue clouds, and a wide breeze carrying magical notes" and so on.

In the past, there was a recitation contest of Song of Eternal Sorrow on TV. I tried to recite Song of Eternal Sorrow, and the result was: I calmly recited "The emperor of China, who longed for the beauty that might shake an empire, ascended the throne for many years, searched and never found it". Until a child of the Yang family grew up in the inner room, almost before she grew up, and no one knew her. However, due to the gift of heaven and no concealment, it was finally elected royal one day. If she just turned her head and smiled, there were a hundred spells, and the powder and paint of six palaces disappeared without a trace. "The speed of speech is accelerating. As soon as I finished reading "I lost my makeup in the Sixth Palace", I quickly passed away rhythmically. Finally, I read in an unusually clear and firm voice, "On the seventh day of July, in the long-lived palace, we secretly told each other in the quiet midnight world." We hope to fly in heaven, two birds become one, grow on the earth, two branches of a tree ... the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever; One day both will end, and this endless sorrow will continue forever. " In this way, I memorized the whole Song of Eternal Sorrow, which is called self-deception.

The aesthetic concept of the Tang Dynasty was very different from that of today. Let's look at the meticulous paintings of ladies in the Tang Dynasty. The beautiful women inside are full and moving, so if the girls now live in the Tang Dynasty, they should be so happy that they don't have to think about slimming every day. The author of Song of Eternal Sorrow didn't say that Yang Guifei was fat. He only used the word "warm and smooth her creamy skin" to introduce Yang Yuhuan's figure skillfully and elegantly. According to Guan Yu unofficial history, Yang Yuhuan is fat, so she has the common problem of being fat all over the world-being afraid of heat. Love sweating, who bathed several times a day, happened to be met by "Hu Er" An Lushan (because Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei recognized An Lushan as their adopted son, and An Lushan was free to go in and out of the palace). This guy is so jealous that even the "claws of Lushan Mountain" will be imposed on the imperial concubine. If we use the logic reasoning of changing the theme that sophists are used to, we can draw the conclusion that Yang Guifei's obesity led to the "An Shi Rebellion".

Now let's talk about the part where Xuanzong found Yang's trail in the illusory Penglai Fairy Mountain with the help of Taoist priests. I think on the one hand, Taoist priests know a little about psychological suggestion and hypnosis. At that time, people were superstitious and mistakenly thought it was the way of immortals. On the other hand, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty deeply loved Yang Guifei, "flies fly on the throne, and he meditates in the dusk. He will extend the wick to its end and still never fall asleep ... bells and drums will slowly ring the long night, and before dawn, the Milky Way in the sky will become clear. The porcelain mandarin ducks on the roof are thick with morning frost, and the jade is cold. Who is with * * *? " It can be seen that the deep memory of it will produce the illusion of meeting the fairy mountain.

I want to assume that Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei can live together forever without the "An Shi Rebellion". Then, according to the custom of love between the emperor and the princess, Yang Guifei may eventually become a "beauty who dies before she gets old". This is what Schopenhauer called a real tragedy in life. It can be said that Yang Guifei died in a timely manner.

Some studies believe that Bai Juyi wrote this poem when he was lovelorn, and he hated it for a long time, which can be interpreted as: eternal hatred. He used this story to express his feelings. Other people's themes are generally as Chen Hong's "Long Hate Biography" said: "Suppress chaos, punish stunners, and hang on to future generations." Bai Juyi only revealed irony in the first sentence, "The emperor of China yearns for a beauty who might shake an empire", and the rest are basically praises of the sincere love between the emperor and the princess, which is simply "an irony and an exhortation". What Bai Juyi wants to express is the yearning for sincere love, and its main purpose should be to praise the beautiful love of "Wan Li is worried about the north and the south, and his heart talks about life and death", no matter who this love happens to.
