Acacia tree, indeed there is such a plant, also known as: Taiwan Acacia, Taiwan Willow, Acacia Acacia, produced in Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places in China. What I want to talk about here is the "acacia tree" that rises in people's minds. The eternal sayings in Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow": "In the sky, I would like to be a winged bird, and on the ground I would like to be a twig." "Bird with wings", " "Lian Lizhi", this "acacia tree" which means love, comes from Qian Bao's "Sou Shen Ji" of the Jin Dynasty.
"Taiping Huanyu Ji·Yuncheng County, Jeju, Henan Province" quotes "Sou Shen Ji" as saying: Han Ping's wife threw herself off the stage, "held her from left to right, and started to turn into a butterfly." Also edited by Shen Deqian The annotation of "The Song of the Crow" in the Source of Ancient Poetry quotes "Tong Guan Ji" as saying: "Han Ping was the wife of King Kang of the Song Dynasty. His wife was beautiful, and the king wanted her. He captured the wife and built the Qingling Tower. He wrote "The Song of the Crow". "Seeing his ambition, he hanged himself." "The Song of Crows" said: "There are crows in the south mountain, and the crows are flying high in the north. What can I do if the crows and magpies fly together? I am a commoner and I am not happy with the king of Song Dynasty." ”
In "Sou Shen Ji", Han Ping and his wife faced King Kang of Song Dynasty's robbery of his wife, and they were debauched and unyielding. After death, their clothes turned into butterflies, and an acacia tree grew on their graves. It is a poignant and vivid love story. . It was gradually sublimated by later generations and became an allusion praising steadfast love. Wang Bo's "Spring Thoughts": "The gossamer leaves are empty on the acacia branches, and the fallen flowers wrap around the acacia tree." Li Shangyin's "Qingling Terrace" poem: "Don't be surprised that Han Ping is a butterfly, flying leisurely to other flowers." Li Bai's "Baitou Yin" "Qingling Terrace" is the platform where Han Ping's wife surrendered herself. Later generations built it in memory of Han Ping and his wife.
This "Acacia Tree" has had a profound influence throughout the ages and can be said to be deeply rooted in people's hearts. When Mr. Liang Qichao traveled to Taiwan, he also wrote "Taiwan Bamboo Branch Poetry", which said: "The bottom of the acacia tree speaks of lovesickness, and Si Lang hates Lang Lang without knowing it." This tree has deep roots and lush leaves, and birds are chirping. Let's take a look at Qian Bao's Original "Acacia Tree".
During the Warring States Period, King Kang of Song Dynasty had a retainer named Han Ping. He married a wife named He. She was very beautiful, but she was noticed by King Kang of Song Dynasty. King Kang of Song Dynasty was drunk, lustful, cruel and immoral. He sent people to Han Ping's house and snatched her away. Of course Han Ping showed a very resentful look, so King Kang of Song captured him and punished him with hard labor.
One day, He secretly asked someone to send a letter to Han Ping to express his feelings. She was afraid that others would see it, so she used these cryptic words: "The rain is obscene, the river is big and the water is deep, beware of the sunrise." This letter accidentally fell into the hands of King Kang of Song Dynasty. He didn't understand it, so he showed it to the people around him, but they didn't understand a word.
Later, a minister named Su He looked at it and explained: "'The rain is obscene' means that she is sad and misses her; 'The river is big and the water is deep' means that they cannot communicate with each other. "Beware of the sunrise" means that she is under oppression and has only one chance to die. This shows her love for Han Ping." King Kang of Song was very angry after hearing this and ordered to torture Han Ping even more. Han Ping couldn't bear the pain anymore and committed suicide. When Mrs. He heard the news, she secretly changed into an old and somewhat tattered dress and waited for the opportunity.
One day, King Kang of Song Dynasty asked He to accompany him to a high platform to play. She took advantage of the situation and suddenly jumped from the height
