[1] "Hillside Sheep. Spring Sleep" Wang Shifu [1]. Song
? Yunsong snail bun, fragrant and warm mandarin quilt,
Concealing the fragrance of boudoir hurts spring sleep.
Liu Huafei, Little Qiongji,
A piece of sound under the snow is auspicious.
Arouse the dream of reunion.
Who doesn't want to be beautiful? Bah, it's you!
There is still a requirement for the age of the girls in the election of the oiran, which must be Biyu Nianhua, that is, girls between the ages of 16 and 19.
In ancient times, a girl at the age of sixteen was considered an adult, so "jasper years" is the "flower of adulthood" and the most beautiful time for a woman. "Jade Years" comes from a poem "Gift to Feng Ji after Drunk" by Li Qunyu of the Tang Dynasty: "The shadow of osmanthus blows lightly on Liang Jiaxun, and the word melon is first divided into the Year of Jasper."
Therefore, the sixteen-year-old girl is also called "the year of breaking the melon", and it can also be called "the first division of the melon" and "the year of Fengxin".
Why is sixteen called the "year of breaking melons"?
There is a sentence in Song Xieyou Ci: "Pogua is young and has a small waist". Since then, the custom of "breaking melons" has continued with women's "breaking their bodies".
In fact, this is a myth.
Because "melon" can be split into two characters in the official script and Wei steles of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the word "melon" is broken into 28, which means 286 years old, not broken body.
Ouyang Biyu is only fourteen years old this year, not yet old enough to run for election. Therefore, no matter how lively the front hall was, it seemed to have nothing to do with her.
In the afternoon, Biyu was having a dream!
A rush of cheers woke her up from her dream, "Sister Yu, Sister Yu"
"Who doesn't want to be beautiful?" Biyu turned her head and saw Xiaohong entered the door, "Bah, it's you!"
"Sister Yu, I've been looking for you for a long time"
"What do you want me to do?"
"The front hall is so lively, but you hide here and sleep."
"I don't like to join in the fun!"
"Nonsense!"
"Where am I talking nonsense?"
"In the past, where was the excitement without you? What's the matter recently, Sister Yu?"
Biyu gave Xiaohong a white look, and said: "I have a headache, I want to lie down for a while, you can watch the fun by yourself!"
[2] "Great Virtue Song. Spring" Guan Hanqing. Song
Zigui cries, it is better to return,
The Tao is that spring returns and people have not returned.
A few days of haggardness,
Willow catkins fly in the air.
There is no news of fish and geese in spring,
? See Shuangyan fighting with mud in its mouth.
Biyu sent Xiaohong away, but came to the window by herself. She listened quietly to the cuckoo's twittering on the tree, as if saying, "It's better to go back, it's better to go back."
Biyu looked at Shuangyan who was busy building a nest, and was lost in thought: "Why didn't you tell me when you left? It's like that catkin, so flimsy that I can't catch it." Yes. I don’t know whether you are bad, good, bad, or good outside, so how can this not be worrying?”
In the past few days, Biyu couldn't eat, couldn't sleep well, and looked haggard.
Liu Yuchun came to Beijing this time to rush for the exam, but the imperial court has regulations: candidates are not allowed to escort prostitutes. Therefore, when Liu Yuchun went to the brothel to have a tryst with Biyu, he did so secretly. He never dared to admit to anyone that he was a raw worker, and he never dared to tell Biyu his real name, but gave him a false name of "Liu Zheng" .
A few days before the exam, Liu Yuchun only told Biyu from the side that he was going to be separated from her for a while, and lied about going to his grain store in Baoding.
When Biyu heard this, she was very excited, and she wanted to follow her.
In order to avoid causing trouble, Liu Yuchun had no choice but to take part in the examination secretly, and did not dare to tell her the truth.
After the nine-day examination was over, Liu Yuchun and the others secretly hid in the chamber of commerce to review their homework. Once they passed the examination, they had to take the next month's palace examination.
During this month, Biyu went to the chamber of commerce every day to find Liu Yuchun.
The more frequently Biyu went, the more afraid Liu Yuchun was to come out to see her. Because now Biyu is a well-known singing girl in the capital, and her little songs are spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and everyone can hum a few words.
In this critical period of the sergeant, we dare not appear pornographic news. Liu Yuchun asked people from the chamber of commerce to lie to her, saying, "Official Liu has gone to a branch around the capital, and he won't be back for two months."
On the way home, Biyu kept scolding: "Liu Zheng, you big liar! You lied to me that you really love me, and you didn't tell me where you went. I don't know how worried you are?"
Waiting indefinitely?It made Biyu feel worse and worse, and her heart couldn't help but flustered: "What do you call 'slipping'? It's clearly 'not right'. I'm so stupid, let him cheat me of everything"
Biyu began to cry while cursing.
[3] "Great Virtue Song. Xia" Guan Hanqing. Song
Pretty friends, at the end of the world,
But there, the green Yang can be a horse.
Sitting under the south window,
Several pairs of Qingfeng miss him.
? Who can I teach to draw when the brows fade,
Slender rock with pomegranate flowers.
Biyu hated Liu Yuchun to the core, and no one was allowed to mention him in front of her, including the word "Liu".
Every time she came to the yard and saw the tall and big willow tree, she would go up and "spit" a few times in resentment.
"It's Lixia now, why don't you come back?" Biyu sat lazily under the south window, and she missed him so much every time she faced the breeze, "My pretty friend, where are you? Are you You are greedy for your new love outside, why is it that only outside can keep you?"
Jasper often whispers to the willow tree outside the window, "My slender willow-leaf eyebrows have faded, and you don't come to paint for me? Do you know that my face is so thin that I dare not let you see it? I dare not wear flowers on my head."
The day in early summer is like Jasper's little face, if you say you turn your face, you will turn your face
[4] "It's Raining, I'm Thinking of You" Chen Hongwei/Qi Long. Lyrics, Chen Wei. Composition, Ren Miaoyin. Song
[Song] "The drizzle outside the window is pattering, knocking on loneliness and splashing memories. Thinking of those beautiful pasts, your face gradually becomes clear. In this crowded city, I can't find anyone who is you. Passionate since ancient times hurts parting, bit by bit Turned into a sigh.
It's raining and I'm thinking of you, I don't know if you feel it. It is not easy to go out, so please take care of yourself. It's raining and I'm thinking of you, do you know my affection? Maybe someone has replaced me, I will always bless you. "

Notes
[1] Wang Shifu
Wang Shifu, named Dexin, was born in Dadu (now Beijing), and his ancestral home was Dingxing (now Dingxing County), Baoding City, Hebei Province. A famous zaju writer in the Yuan Dynasty, the author of the zaju "The Story of the West Chamber", his life and deeds are unknown. One of the four masters of Zaju in the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Shifu is as famous as Guan Hanqing, Bai Pu, and Ma Zhiyuan. His works have fully inherited the exquisite language art of Tang poetry and Song poetry, and absorbed the lively oral language of the Yuan Dynasty folks, creating a brilliant Yuan opera Vocabulary has become an outstanding representative of the "literary school" in the history of Chinese opera. Later generations speculated that his birth and death years were about 1260-1336, and his main creative activities were around the Yuanzhen and Dade years of Yuan Chengzong (1295-1307), which was the heyday of Yuan Zaju.
Today, there are only thirteen kinds of Wang Shifu's Zaju, including "The Story of the West Chamber", "The Story of Broken Kiln" and "Lichun Garden". Among them, "The Romance of the West Chamber" consists of five volumes. It is the representative work of Wang Shifu.
According to Yuan Zhou Deqing's "Central Plains Rhyme. Preface", it can be known that Wang Shifu died before the first year of Taiding (1324). Jia Zhongming of the Ming Dynasty supplemented the "Recording Ghost Book", and there is a poem "Lingbo Xian" to hang Wang Shifu: "Fengyueying densely arranges banners and flags, Yinghuazhai brightly arranges swords and halberds, and Cuihong Township is full of wisdom. The lyrics are beautiful, and the scholars are of the middle class. Fu low. New dramas, old legends, "The Romance of the West Chamber" won the first place." "Fengyueying", "Yinghuazhai", "Cuihong Township" all refer to the Jiaofang, Xingyuan or Zaju staged by officials in the Yuan Dynasty Hook bar. Obviously, Wang Shifu is familiar with the life of these official records, so he is good at writing dramas such as "children's customs". Ming Chen Suowen's "Bei Gong Ci Ji" collected "Shang Diao Ji Xianbin? Retirement" set, signed as Wang Shifu's composition, in which there is "six cents of sweetness in one hundred years, several stems, and then from the beginning", we can know that he is 60 years old At that time, he retired. However, there are "Red Dust and Huangge Shame in the Past" and "Gao's Great Hands of Economics" in the song, so he was once a high-ranking official in the capital, and he seems to be not the same as Wang Shifu, a dramatist.
