During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, many of his good friends were implicated. Among them, the one who was implicated and punished the most, and the one who was demoted the most was Wang Dingguo.
Wang Dingguo was demoted to Lingnan. Lingnan was a wilderness during the Song Dynasty . The living environment was very harsh.
After the "Wutai Poetry Case" ended, Su Dongpo immediately went to see Wang Dingguo who had just returned from Lingnan.
The two met by the river. After meeting, they got on the boat together. After sitting down, they talked about their farewell.
During the conversation, Wang Dingguo asked his beloved singer Rou Nu to play and sing to cheer him up.
I saw Rou Nu gently stroke the strings of the piano with both hands, raise his red lips, spread his white teeth, and sing softly.
The melodious and beautiful singing accompanied by the melodious and pleasant sound of the piano floated on the calm and wide river surface...
At the time, Su Dongpo turned around and asked Rou Nu softly: "This place in Lingnan is not very good!"
Rou Nu replied very calmly: "This place of peace of mind is my hometown!"
Su Dongpo was deeply moved after hearing this sentence! Very touched!
Su Dongpo came to see Wang Dingguo with guilt. He felt very sorry for his friend, and Wang Dingguo was punished for his lawsuit.
Rou Nu's sentence: "Where is my hometown when I feel at ease," gave Su Dongpo great comfort in his self-blame and uneasy mood, and his mood instantly became cheerful.
Wang Dingguo's family is very rich. He has a wife, several concubines, and he also has many singing girls at home.
His family often interacts with friends and arranges banquets. At the banquet, the singers with heavy makeup sang and danced to cheer up the fun and were very lively.
After the "Wutai Poetry Case" occurred, only the singer Rou Nu accompanied Wang Dingguo to the desolate Lingnan, and even his wife and concubine did not go.
Rounu and Wang Dingguo lived in Lingnan for three years.
In Su Dongpo's imagination, the living environment in Lingnan is so harsh and the conditions are so difficult, and the two of them must not have lived a very good life!
Rounu's sentence "This place of peace of mind is my hometown" made Su Dongpo's mood unable to calm down for a long time. When he returned home, he wrote this poem "Ding Fengbo - Returning from the South China Sea to the King of Dingguo's servant Yu Niang" (Rounu also called Yu Niang).
always envy the jade carving in the world,
days should beg for a little girl,
full of clear songs and white teeth,
wind blows,
snow flys,
the sea becomes cool.
0 million miles back, less and less,
smiles,
still has the fragrance of plum blossoms when smiling,
ask whether Lingnan should be good?
But I said:
This place of peace of mind is my hometown!
Translated this poem into modern text:
often envy this man as beautiful as jade carvings in this world, (referring to Wang Dingguo)
Even God likes him,
Giving him a soft and intelligent beauty with him,
Everyone tells that the clear and pleasant singing voice came from her clean mouth,
makes people feel like the wind and snow flying,
makes the land of hot and hot become a cool place.
She returned from a distant place,
is even more radiant,
looks younger than before,
smiles slightly,
also has the fragrance of Lingnan plum blossoms in her smile.
I tried to ask her:
"The customs in Lingnan should not be very good, right?"
She answered calmly:
"Where is a peaceful place,
is my hometown!"
a song girl Rou Nu's sentence: "This place of peace of mind is my hometown." It comforted Su Dongpo's shameful and guilty heart, and self-blame and uneasy heart.
A little woman was so understanding, and Su Dongpo looked at her with admiration.
So, Su Dongpo wrote this song "Ding Fengbo - Returning from the South China Sea to Wang Dingguo's servant Yu Niang" for the singer Rou Nu.
