Profile

Sui Jingchen (the year of his birth and death is unknown), a shunchen, whose name is Jingxian, or Jiaxian, is a well-known writer of Sanqu and Zaju in Yuan Dynasty. He was born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province (now Yangzhou City). He wrote many works in his life, including Sanqu collection "Ci of Sui Jingchen". There are many Zaju such as Yingying peony, Qianli TouRen and Quyuan toujiang, among which the most well-known one is shaobian Gaozu's return home. Tianyi Pavilion version of the "ghost book" says: King minister name Shun minister, after the word Jiaxian. After the word Jing Xian, but also the word guests. He was born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, and later moved to Hangzhou. Zhong Sicheng of the Yuan Dynasty listed it in the book of recording ghosts as "a man of public talent who has now died, and a person who is known by Yu Xiang". He also wrote biographies for it. His biography says: "in 1303, the Duke came to Hangzhou from Weiyang, and I knew him." He also said that when he was a child, he studied with water and his eyes were red. You can't be far sighted. However, "the mind is intelligent and loves the melody.". From this we can see some of Sui Jingchen's personality and hobbies. According to Zhong Sicheng's diaoyi "banshengcai", Sui Jingchen only lived about 50 years old, which indicates that he died in middle age. He is basically the same age as Zhong Sicheng, and Sui Jingchen may be a little longer.

Life of the characters

All his life, Sui Jingchen lived only among the talented people in the book club, but failed to become an official. All the emotions are also in the composition. His "return of Gaozu" was famous at that time. Zhong Sicheng wrote in his biography: "all the Duke of Weiyang wrote the series of Gaozu's return to his hometown, but the novel production of Shao Bian all came from below." "The swallow house in the world is decorated with cold mandarin ducks. If the wine is empty, the hairpin will turn into phoenix gold. " "It's also skillful, which people can't match.".

In Zhong Sicheng's Lingbo Qu, the hanging words read: "the chanting moustache is twisted and broken as a poem devil, and the drunken eyes are languidly opened as a wine blush. Half of his life, he became a Sanlu, and some of his sighs became xieluge. What about fame and fame after years? "

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Quan's Taihe zhengyinpu listed Sui Jingchen in the "ancient and modern Qunying Yuefu Geshi" and called his Ci "Rufeng guanqiusheng".

Zheng Zhenduo commented: "the return of Gaozu is indeed a wonderful work. He was able to spread the rogue image of the rogue emperor Liu Bang by means of side knocking. The story that he made Liu Bang return to his hometown is told from the eyes and heart of a villager. The village's heart is straight and its mouth is quick. It makes the great emperor so powerful that he can't laugh or cry. Although it's a play, it's full of fun and abuse "(history of Chinese popular literature, Volume II).

Taiping Yuefu contains Sui xuanming's prose, or suspects that Jing Chen and xuanming are one. Sui Jingchen wrote three books of Ci and zaju, which are "thousands of miles to people", "Yingying peony" and "Quyuan to the river". Only three sets of Sanqu and four sentences are preserved. But "return of Gaozu" makes him occupy an important position in the history of Sanqu!

appreciate

The whole song uses the tone of a villager to expose the hypocrisy and absurdity of "the respect of the emperor".

The first paragraph is about the preparation for the pick-up in the countryside. People are busy, but "I" don't understand. At the beginning, it sets the tone of harmony and irony for the whole article. The three songs "Shua Er", "Wu Sha" and "Si Sha" are supposed to be solemn and noble scenes, which are strange to the common people. In fact, they satirize the royal style and imperial dignity. Three evil spirits, two evil spirits and one evil spirit are reproaches of Han Gaozu's poor and bad deeds in those years. They expose the real face hidden behind the yellow robe at once. However, he is still pretending to be powerful and arrogant in front of people, which makes the comparison between the two sides more ridiculous. The song "Wei" is the climax of the whole story. "Liu San" is the nickname of Liu Bang invented by the author according to historical books. The villagers exhale that the shape and spirit are very similar. The wonderful thing is that it smashes the myth of "the right son of heaven", and the so-called respect for the emperor disappears in the pungent sound of ridicule.

The novel production, unique angle, the use of contrast techniques, reveals the essence, with a strong comedy and satire. The language is lively and colloquial, and the characters are ready to appear, with the style of comics and unofficial history.
