From:
Wang Pan, "Gu Yue Lantern Festival" in Ming Dynasty
Listening to the Lantern Festival, celebrating the New Year, singing and dancing.
Listening to Yuanxiao, at today's age, Qian Qian has a million worries and grievances.
Where is a red BMW? Just send ancient trees to Western jackdaw at dusk.
Poetry has dried up, wine has dried up, spring breeze has been ignored, and plum blossoms have withered.
Wang Pan (about 1470 ~ 1530) is known as the crown of Nanyin. Writers and painters of Sanqu in Ming Dynasty also knew medicine. The word hung-chien is from Gaoyou, Jiangsu. When I was young, I didn't take the imperial examination. I have never been an official in my life. I am addicted to landscape poetry and painting, building a building in the west of the city, and singing songs with literati all day long, hence the name "West Building".
Sanqu has a wide range of themes. During the period of Zheng De, eunuchs were in power, and when the ship arrived in Gaoyou, they blew trumpets to disturb the people and made a satirical song "Singing the Horn to the Emperor". He is the author of Wang Xilou Yuefu, Mr. Wang Xilou Yuefu, Wild Cookbook, and Xilou Law Poetry.
This Sanqu is a work reflecting social reality. Xiaoling described the lively and joyful atmosphere of the Lantern Festival a few years ago, and also wrote about the desolation of the Lantern Festival and the grievances of the people. The comparison between the past and the present reflects the gradual decline of the Ming dynasty and the worsening of people's lives, and expresses deep sympathy for the people's tragic life and strong dissatisfaction with the cruel rule of the government.
