"Real general night pass, courtiers, such as leakage more cold. Before the monks in the temple in the mountains, fame and fortune are not as good as leisure. " Where is the historical origin of? Who is the author?

This article comes from the brilliant Pipa Story in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

Original: driving with the car every day, only listening to the whip. Go to your head, kneel down, and circle with the leopard tail. Stay in the imperial escort, and follow the classes early. The armored generals passed the customs at night, and the courtiers were even colder. Sighing in the air, the monks in the temple in the mountains have not got up, and fame and fortune are not as good as leisure.

Interpretation of vernacular: General armor stays overnight, and courtiers get up early on cold nights. It's really hard for them to get up early and catch up with the black for fame. The red sun is in the sky, and the monks who don't seek fame and fortune in the mountain temple are still sleeping and enjoying unlimited leisure. Therefore, it is better to seek leisure than fame and fortune.

Extended data writing background:

The phenomenon that a scholar abandoned his wife after making a fortune in Thailand is closely related to the imperial examination system in Song Dynasty. According to the imperial examination system, no matter what family background, you can be an official as long as you take the Chinese exam. This provides a shortcut for the poor to get rich. "The imperial court is Tian Shelang, and the Temple of Heaven is at dusk" is a portrayal of this situation.

When a scholar enters the official career, he needs to find a backer, and his family forces also need to attract new people to expand their power. Marriage became a means to combine their interests. However, when the scholar climbs the lofty branch and abandons the dross wife, it will inevitably conflict with the original concept of repaying the family and the citizen class, leading to family and moral tragedy.

People don't like the impetuousness of literati, and they criticize them with words and strokes, which is also the reason why a large number of works condemning marriage and change have been produced in Song Dynasty.

Marriage stories in Song Dynasty are generally aimed at literati, because at that time, they not only had a good social status, but also shouldered social responsibilities as moral inheritors who knew how to be polite. The contrast between identity and behavior naturally makes them the main targets of public condemnation, especially citizens.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the social situation changed greatly, and the situation of scholars fell from the sky to the ground. The imperial examination in Yuan Dynasty was interrupted for more than 70 years. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, the imperial examination system was good and bad. This made many scholars lose their identity and their social status declined sharply, resulting in the saying that "nine sons and ten beggars".

In connection with this, the tragic works condemning the scholar's betrayal of marriage have gradually lost their realistic pertinence. Scholars with low status have become the object of sympathy. Therefore, the literati images in Yuan Zaju are either mediocre and timid, or pedantic and introverted. Although most of them lack luster, they are rarely used as whipping objects.

By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, people felt more and more sorry for the scholar whose status could not be improved, and the works praising the scholar's sincerity gradually became the mainstream of traditional Chinese opera. The Story of Pipa depicts the image of Cai Bojie with sympathy and tolerance, reflecting the social model at that time.

Generally speaking, the author subjectively hopes to "stand for the literati" and publicize the feudal morality of loyalty, filial piety, monarch and minister. But its ideological content is more complicated: it shows that loyalty and filial piety are difficult in feudal society, and there are also some criticisms.

While propagating feudal morality, he also criticized the dark reality at that time and exposed the darkness of feudal society such as the tyranny of Prime Minister Niu and the corruption of local officials. On the one hand, we should publicize feudal morality, on the other hand, we should write touching tricks.
