The meaning of "since ancient times, I have been passionate and hated, while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever"-since ancient times, passionate people will only leave regrets, but this regret will never end.

Origin of the work

In the The Journey to the West of TVB, Pig Bajie has a wise saying, or his epitaph. Because Pig Bajie molested Chang 'e when Marshal Peng was there that day, the Jade Emperor punished him for going through thousands of times of love robbery, and every time he died, he had to say, "Since ancient times, I have been passionate and hated, while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever." Then close your eyes, in fact, die unsatisfied. This bridge is still fresh in many people's minds.

Analysis of the Works

The two sentences "while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever, who has been passionate and idle since ancient times" are actually not from one poem, but from two poems, and some people have given it a nice name called "Synthetic Poetry". In poetry, there is no concept of synthetic poetry, which is just a joke that people play with each other. Because it pieced together other people's poems, it was not a poem at all.

"while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever" comes from Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, which is the last sentence of the Song of Eternal Sorrow and the main theme of the whole poem. It not only points out the topic, but also tells people that the love story between Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei will bring endless regrets to later generations. "If you realize the past, don't remonstrate, but you can learn from the future."

"Affectionate and idle hate since ancient times" comes from Shi Qingxi, a scholar in Qing Dynasty. The original words are "Affectionate and idle hate since ancient times, and the origin of good dreams is the easiest to wake up." The fifteenth time of Wei Zian's novel "Flower Moon Mark" in the Qing Dynasty recorded the whole poem:

Affectionate has been idle since ancient times, and the origin of good dreams is the easiest to wake up.

it's hard to get rid of the flowers, and the poor flying flocks are too scattered.

the fragrant nest is married to the Yuanyang club, and the new sentence is like a jade screen.

I was heartbroken because of my separation, and my tears were all over my old shirt.

This poem was written by the heroine Du Caiqiu to the hero Han Hesheng.

Controversy over Works

Bajie's famous saying, "Since ancient times, I have been passionate and spare to hate, while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever" left a deep impression on the audience. However, most of the audience ignored a problem, that is, "since ancient times, I have been full of passion and spare hate", which originated in the Qing Dynasty. It was only during the time of Emperor Taizong that Tang Priest learned the scriptures, and it was naturally impossible for Bajie to know this sentence. "while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever" was written by Bai Juyi. Bai Juyi was born in 772 AD, and Emperor Taizong died in 649 AD. Bajie would never know about "while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever". In fact, in this The Journey to the West, Bajie is a lover. In order to please Princess Wencheng, she recited many poems, such as Wang Changling's "The Moon in the Qin Dynasty was closed in the Han Dynasty, and the Long March was not returned", and William Wang's "Don't laugh when you are drunk in the battlefield, but you have fought for several times since ancient times". It is impossible for Bajie to stare at the bright moon and recite Li Bai's "but now the sun and moon illumine a gold and silver terrace" in his mouth. When Emperor Taizong died, Li Bai, Wang Changling and Wang Han were not born yet!

of course, film and television works, let's just watch them happily, and we don't need to delve into them. Bai Juyi's "while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever" is really exhausted by Bajie. Many people know that there is a classic line because of this TV: "Love and spare hate since ancient times, while this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever."
