Can anyone tell me the story about the Scarborough Market .

The Scarborough Fair was originally a regular market formed by the frequent arrival of the Vikings to make some exchanges, and for hundreds of years, the autumn lasted for a month and a half, and there is still such a small town in what is now England.

The lyrics of the song Scarborough Market date back to at least thirteenth-century England, while the tune is even earlier, originating in Scotland. It is a song composed by two peoples, the Vikings and the Celts, who were considered barbarians.

Answer: The real meaning behind Scarborough Market is that parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme were the four plants that represented kindness, strength, gentleness and courage in medieval Europe.

There are many interpretations of the meaning of the song, and in the past, it was believed that parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme were all very fragrant, and this fragrance reminded the singer of the Scarborough Bazaar, and the requirements made by the author of the song were actually a test of the girl's ability. Cui Jian's cover of the song thinks so.

Cassie, in his own version, points out that all four herbs have some connection to death in the English tradition, and that they are all believed to be herbs against death. The three impossible tasks that the singer asks the beloved girl to do seem to imply that the girl is dead, and the singer is praying sincerely for death to return her.

The world's classic ballad "Scarborough Market" tells a classic story.

A couple broke up for some reason. The man asked a man who was going to the Scarborough market to send a message to the woman, asking her to make him a garment of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, without any seams or stitches, and to wash it in a place where there was no water, and to dry it on thorns, and then the two could reconcile. Such a fantastical request is obviously difficult for a strong man.

So the woman replied to the man in the same way, and she told the messenger to turn the hole and tell the man that he should buy a piece of land between the sea and the sand, plough the ground with the horns, sow it with pepper powder, and when the pepper had grown, harvest it with a leather sickle, tie it with the feathers of a peacock, threw it in the wall, and not let a seed fall to the ground, so that they could reconcile.

Life in Scarborough is so laid-back that people here always do their best to create one joy after another, and they want to spread laughter all over the island. Every night, people would gather in a group on a hill or in a dry field, running and shouting with torches to get more and more people to join them.

They threw torches into the pile of grass and trees and lit a bonfire.

They circled around the campfire and prayed together to thank God for all that he had given them. When the ceremony was completed, it was their long-awaited event.

Julie. The inhabitants of Scarborough are very good at dancing, they are natural dancers, whether it's a fluttering swan dance or a bulky and funny bear dance, there will always be someone who can perform it vividly and make the audience laugh.

No one will condemn and limit their celebrations, and no one will question the future of Scarborough, this is their innate trait, even the nobles who rule Scarborough will join in with joy, never sinking into joy and plaything, everyone feels that after a day of work, the relaxation of the night is essential, and those who do not know how to enjoy life are foolish.

Scarborough Bazaar is the most popular song among college students in the United States in the 60s of the 20th century, and is a melodic classic English song, which was used as an interlude in the 40th Academy Award-winning film "The Graduate". It shows the longing of a soldier fighting on the front line for his lover, and the soldier asks the people who go to the town of Scarborough to bring greetings to their sweethearts, and the melody is poignant and tactful, which touches the hearts of the people and deeply evokes those memories that may be sad or joyful.

Scarborough is a seaside town in North Yorkshire, England, and historically the town has had a 45-day market every year, attracting merchants from all over England and even Europe. Scarborough Bazaar is an old English folk song whose origins can be traced back to the Middle Ages, and was later adapted into a song that cherishes life and longs for peace. It was once regarded as a favorite by young students in the 60s of the 20th century, perhaps on the one hand, it is a remembrance of the innocence and beautiful love of youth, and on the other hand, it is weaving a fairy tale about war with dreamy tunes and soft singing, and its melody has always touched everyone's heartstrings.

The song's recurring phrase "there are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme," is full of nostalgia for the old town of Scarborough.

The story behind this song is equally heartbreaking. In Europe in the fifties, there was a story about two lovers who loved each other very much, because the war was about to separate, and the young man agreed with his sweetheart to meet at the Scarborough market after the war before going to war.

He said goodbye to the girl he loved, threw himself into the smoke of gunpowder, and finally died on the battlefield and was buried in a desolate mass grave. Lonely and ethereal, with nothing to follow, his soul wandered in the forests and fields and roadsides, whenever he remembered that he would never return to his familiar hometown, and could no longer enjoy the sweetness of life with his sweetheart, the grief and indignation in his heart turned into a tear-jerking accusation. His soul could no longer return to his longing hometown, and could only stand at the intersection of the road leading to the Scarborough Market, and chant softly to every passerby:

Are you going to Scarborough Bazaar, with its parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, and my most beloved girl," "If you see her, tell her that I miss her very much." The nostalgia, affection, and desolation moved the listener. The dreamy melody and the perfect chanting can easily make people enter a meditative state, and the charm is endless.
