The origin of Qiu Niangdu 10, the origin of Qiu Niangdu

A poem by Jiang Jie, a lyricist at the end of the Song Dynasty.

Original text: A piece of spring sorrow is waiting for the wine to be poured. The boat on the river is shaking, and the curtain is moving upstairs. Qiu Niang ferry and Tai Niang bridge, the wind is fluttering, and the rain is bleak.

When will I go home and wash my robes? The silver word sheng tune 7, the heart word incense burning. The streamer is easy to throw people, red cherries, green plantains.

Vernacular translation: The boat was swaying on the Wujiang River, and I was full of spring sorrow for the detention trip, and when I saw the wine curtain on the shore fluttering, attracting guests, I had the desire to use wine to dispel my sorrows. The boat passed through the beautiful scenery of Qiu Niangdu and Tai Niang Bridge that made the literati reverie endlessly, and there was no good mood to appreciate, and the front was "the wind is fluttering, the rain is dashing", which is really annoying.

When will I be able to go home and wash my robes and end my tired life? One day will you be able to reunite with your family, play with the sheng inlaid with silver characters, and light the heart-shaped incense in the smoker? Spring is easy to pass, so that people can't catch up, the cherries are red and ripe, the plantain is green again, and spring goes to summer and arrives again.

Source: From the late Song Dynasty lyricist Jiang Jie's "A Cut of Plums, Boat Crossing the Wujiang River".

A piece of spring sorrow is waiting for the wine to be poured. The boat on the river is rocking. Upstairs curtain moves. Qiu Niang Ferry and Tai Niang Bridge. The wind is blowing again. The rain is bleak again.

When will I go home and wash my robes? Silver word sheng tone. The heart word incense burns. Streamers are easy to throw people away. Red cherries. Green plantains.

The sentence "Qiu Niang Ferry and Tai Niang Bridge" in the word is easy to misunderstand, thinking that there are really two places of Qiu Niang Ferry and Tai Niang Bridge. In the lyrics, the author is on the way home, blocked by the wind and rain (the author is on a boat), anxious and depressed, and can't hold back the homesickness. In his eyes, the ferries and bridges he passed through were the scenery of his hometown, so he named the bridges and ferries he passed through after two people.

Qiu Niang and Tai Niang were both Tang Dynasty singers, and they were both from the author's hometown (in the area of present-day Jiangsu, and the author was also from Jiangsu). In this way, the author expresses his eagerness to return home and his deep longing for his homeland.

In reality, there are no two place names, Qiu Niangdu and Tai Niang Bridge, they are just the decorative brushwork used by the Song Dynasty poet Jiang Jie when he wrote the lyrics (which can be understood as metaphors and fictions. ）

The information on the above is true and false, some are correct and rigorous, and some are nonsense. The answer should be based on logic, and it is better to have more doubts than to follow the crowd.

Qiu Niangdu is a story 900 years ago, which was during the Li Shimin period of the Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that Du Qiuniang crossed the Pacific Ocean and enhanced her contacts with foreign countries, so in honor of her, this legend was established!

Suzhou Tainiang Bridge is still there.

If both are place names, "and" doesn't mean "and", and it's not easy to read. This understanding feels particularly awkward. I think it should be Jiao.

The previous "crossing" is also "tolerant". There is a sense of comfort and self-satisfaction, which contrasts with Jiao. Therefore, it should be understood by "Qiu Niang Du and, Tai Niangjiao" so broken.

So there is no place for Qiu Niangdu, and it is not understood in this way at all.
