Source: Luo Shen Fu by Cao Zhi, a writer of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms Period.
Excerpt from the original text: I am from Beijing, so I will go back to Dong Fan. Back to yique, cross the shaft, pass through Tonggu and Lingjingshan. The sun sets in the west and the car is in danger. Second, taxes have promoted Gao, Zhitian, Luochuan.
Therefore, the essence is dynamic and suddenly comes to mind. If you look down, you will not see it. If you look up, you will see a beautiful woman on the bank of the rock. But he helped the protector of the empire and told him, "Do you trust him? Who is he? If so, it will be gorgeous! " The coachman said to him, "I have heard of the God of Heluo, whose name is Fu Fei. But what the king saw was nothing. What is its shape? I am willing to listen. "
I set out from Luoyang, Kyoto, and returned to Juancheng, a fief in the east, carrying Yi Que, crossing a shaft, crossing a bronze drum and climbing Jingshan. At this time, the sun is setting and the car is tired. So he unloaded the car on the grassy shore and fed the horses in the grassy field. Himself strolling in Yanglin overlooking the vast Luochuan.
So I won't feel in a trance and my thoughts will drift away. I saw nothing when I looked down. I looked up and found an unusual scene. I saw a very beautiful man standing by the rock.
I couldn't help pulling the coachman to my side and saying, "Did you see that man? Who is that, so gorgeous! " The coachman replied, "I heard that the name of Heluo was Fu Fei, but the king saw her! I want to hear her figure. "
Cao Zhi imitated the description of Wushan Goddess in Song Yu's Goddess Fu in the Warring States Period and told the story of his meeting with Luoshen on the bank of Luoshui River. He used the Song Fu for reference in story plot and character description.
This poem fictionalizes the author's own meeting with Luo Shen and their yearning and love for each other. The image of Luo Shen is absolutely beautiful, and the love between man and god is vague, but it can't be combined because of the different ways of man and god, and finally expresses infinite sadness and disappointment.
The whole article can be roughly divided into six paragraphs: in the first paragraph, when the writer returned to the fief from Luoyang, he saw "beauty" Fu Fei standing on the cliff; The second paragraph is about the beauty of Fu Fei's clothing. In the third paragraph, the author loves Luo Shen very much. She knows manners and is good at words. Although the author has expressed her true feelings and gave her a token, she is afraid of being cheated and says that she loves her deeply.
In the fourth paragraph, I wrote about the situation after Luo Shen felt sincere about the "king"; The fifth paragraph is the meaning of the whole article; In the sixth paragraph, the author wrote goodbye and missed Luo Shen. All the poems are colorful, delicate in description, rich in imagination, full of emotions, and full of sustenance.
Luo Shen, also known as the goddess in ancient myths and legends in China, is the daughter of Fu. She was infatuated with the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Luohe River and came to Luoyang.
Cao Zhi's Ode to Luoshen is a famous work describing her in past dynasties (whether it is described through her is controversial). There are 3 1 1 pieces of Xiao Kuang and 32 legends of Shu Lei in Tai Ping Guang Ji, which describe the love affair between Xiao Kuang and Luo Shen.
Luo Shenfu has a very extensive and far-reaching influence in history. Gu Kaizhi, a great calligrapher and painter in the Jin Dynasty, showed the spirit and style of "Ode to the Goddess of Luo", which added a rare masterpiece to the bookshop and painting circle.
In the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, some playwrights put it on the stage again, and Wang Daokun's Sad Life of Chen Luoshui is one of the more famous ones. As for the writers who used this as the theme in the past dynasties, countless people read poems and songs. It can be seen that the artistic charm of Cao Zhi's Luo Shen Fu is enduring.
