水烟轻澹
The love story of LuYou and TangWan沈园拾遗 Continue yesterday‘s essay,and many thanks to those who always help me,:D Eight hundreds years ago,there was a miserable couple,the man was called LuYou and the woman was called TangWan. 八百多年前,有一对不幸的夫妻,男的叫陆游,女的叫唐婉。 The parents of LuYou held high hopes for their son,and thought the intimate love relationship got in the way of their son's study. They tried many times to separate them. The couple loved each other so much,so they continued to be together even after divorced. However LuYou's mother separated them again. 陆游的双亲对子期望甚高,认为他们夫妻伉俪情深妨碍了陆游的求学上进,因而数遣之。唐婉被休后,陆游将她安置在别院,时而往之,怎奈被其母发觉,再次棒打鸳鸯散。 The law of that time is very interesting. All the gardens of rich people must be open to the public for one month during the spring. (Imagine the houses of Bill Gates and movie stars.)Therefore, they encountered in the Shen's garden. 南宋当时的法律很有趣,有钱人家每年在阳春三月必须将私家花园对外开放一个月。因此他们在沈家花园不期而遇了。 Everything changed while they met together again. They both re-married. After getting the approval of her current husband,she treated LuYou a meal. Then there came the poems. TangWan died soon after she finished the poem. 再聚首,今非昨,他们都已再婚。在得到了她现任丈夫的首肯后,她招待了陆游一席宴酒。著名的钗头凤应运而生。一代才女唐婉也因完成钗头凤后过度郁结而亡。 钗头凤 陆游    红酥手,黄縢酒,满城春色宫墙柳;东风恶,欢情薄,一怀愁绪,几年离索,错、错、错。 春如旧,人空瘦,泪痕红浥鲛绡透;桃花落,闲池阁,山盟虽在,锦书难托,莫、莫、莫。 钗头凤 唐婉 世情薄,人情恶,雨送黄昏花易落;晓风干,泪痕残,欲笺心事,独依斜阑, 难,难,难。 人成各,今非昨,病魂常似秋千索;角声寒,夜阑珊,怕人寻问,咽泪装欢,瞒,瞒,瞒。

哦, 对了! 不是旅游, 是陆游! 我告诉你, 我刚才觉得, “那位女士应该叫《导游》, 是不是?" (Inuendo not implied) >_> :D

古有陆家父母棒打鸳鸯散,今有虎妈十诫,更甚之。

:D,你基本理解正确,诗中说几年离索,so only several years not decades,:D.

It seems that Tang had been loving Lu after their separation for decades. She often wrote memos of her deep love in the absence of her present husband always with the fear that someone could notice it. And guess that her feeling bursted out when she heard Lu's unchanged love toward her and grudge against the fate on the banquet, she couldn't restrain herself from expressing her forbidden feelings even exchanging her life. I may be misunderstanding some with my poor knowledge, but was moved much :-) The culture of Song is so interesting. Guess the society is affluent with both materials and minds.
