His Extreme Sadness(司馬青衫)

 

His Extreme Sadness(司馬青衫)

 

There was a famous poet during the Tang Dynasty in China, his name was (Bai Juyi).

He left behind more than 3,000 poems, the most among all the poets of the Tang Dynasty.

 

At the age of 35, he joined the central government as a mid-level official.

He was an upright man and often made many suggestions to the king.

He also offended some in the establishment.

In 815 AD he was demoted and transferred to what is now Jiangxi Province in China.

One day in 816 AD he wrote a narrative poem of 612 words.

This poem became one of his most famous works.

 

In this poem he describes an adventure he had with a middle-aged pipa player.

In the poem, the pipa player tells her own life story after finishing her performance.

After listening to her story, he said to her

 

I would like to ask you to play the pipa for us again, okay? I was very moved after listening to your performance, so now I am inspired to write a poem for you.

 

After hearing Bai Juyi's words, the pipa player also shed tears. This pipa player was very touched because her feelings were felt by others and her piano skills were appreciated by others.

 

The pipa player nodded in agreement. She turned and sat back in her chair. She tightened the strings and began to strum.

 

In this performance, the sound of the pipa still revealed sentimentality, but within the sentimentality there was also a hint of joy.

 

This performance was more touching than the first, and everyone present could not help but shed tears.

 

Of all the people at the scene, who was the most moved and who cried the most? That person was the frustrated blue-uniformed official assigned to that small town.

The official in blue cried until his clothes were soaked.

 

The direct translation of this idiom means a frustrated official wearing blue clothes.

This idiom is used to describe a person who is in a state of extreme sadness.

 

Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts do you have after listening to this story?

What has made you cry the most in your life? Now that you think about the thing that made you cry, how do you feel?

I hope this story can give you some new insights.

司馬青衫(His Extreme Sadness)

 

中國的唐王朝時代有一個著名的詩人,他的名字是(白居易)

他留下了3000多首詩,是所有唐代詩人中最多的一個人。

 

他在35歲的時候進入中央政府擔任一個中階官員。

他是一個正直的人,他經常向國王提出許多建議。

他也得罪了一些當權派。

西元815年他降職並被調派到現在中國的江西省。

西元816年的一天,他寫了一首敘事詩,這首詩共有612個字。

這首詩成為他的代表作品之一。

 

這首詩中,他描寫了一段他與一個中年的女性琵琶演奏家的奇遇。

在首詩中,這位女性琵琶演奏家在結束演出後,說了有關於她自已的人生故事。

他聽完這位女性演奏家說完自己的經歷後,他對這位女性演奏家說。

 

我想要請妳再為我們演奏一曲琵琶好嗎?我聽了妳的演奏後我很有感觸,所以我現在有靈感,我要特別寫一首詩送給妳。

 

聽到白居易說的話後,這個女性琵琶演奏家也流下了眼淚,這個女性琵琶演奏家非常個感動,因為自已的感受有被他人感知,也因為自已的琴藝有人可以欣賞。

 

這個女性琵琶演奏家點頭答應,她轉過身坐回椅子上,她轉緊琴弦並且開始撥彈。

 

這一次的演奏,琵琶的聲音依舊透露出感傷,但是在感傷之中,又隱藏著一絲的喜悅。

 

這一次的演奏,比第一次的演奏更感人,所有現場的人都忍不住流下了眼淚。

 

在現場的所有人中,誰最感動與誰哭得最厲害呢,這個人就是那一個穿著青色衣服被調派到這座小城市中的那個失意的官員。

那個穿著青色衣服的官員哭到他的衣服全部溼透了。

 

這一句成語直接翻譯的意思是一個穿的青色衣服的失意官員。

這一句成語被用來形容一個人陷入極度悲傷的情緒之中。

 

親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。

你這輩子中哭得最厲害的是因為什麼事呢?你現在回想起那件令你哭的事,你有甚麼感覺呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
