<< review queue entry 82631 - submitted by 'polaris' >> 棒打鸳鸯 bàngdǎ-yuānyāng - 《现代汉语规范词典》 「比喻强行拆散恩爱的夫妻或恋人。」 --------------------- Editor: TP ~ 一旦思考模式只求理法體制的圓滿，那即使夫妻恩愛不疑，也會遭致「棒打鴛」的命運。如漢朝「孔雀東南飛」的焦仲卿與劉蘭芝；如宋朝愛國詩人陸游與唐琬；如清朝《浮生六記》的沈三白、芸娘。舊人類的愛情道路經常是崎嶇坎坷，為僵化的倫常、禮教所扼殺。 "Once one falls into modes of thinking which seek only to satisfy the demands of the ethical and legal system, even when love between husband and wife is not in doubt, they may still suffer the fate of being "lovers struck asunder." Examples are Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi in the Han dynasty story The Peacocks Fly Southeast; the Song dynasty patriotic poet Lu You and Tang Wan; or Shen Sanbai and Yunniang in the Qing-dynasty Six Chapters of a Floating Life. The path of love for people in olden times was often rocky and strewn with pitfalls, and hedged about by an ossified social order and moral code." "In the story The Peacocks Fly Southeast, Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi are a married couple that kill themselves because the young man's mother forces them apart. Liu Lanzhi lifts up her skirt, takes off her silk shoes and drowns herself. Jiao Zhongqing hangs himself from a tree in his yard. Later, their families bury the two lovers together and two intertwined trees grow on their grave. In the trees there is a pair of mandarin ducks, the symbol of lovers in China, singing with grief." https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/en/Articles/Details?Guid=6325d7b7-e638-4a66-898a-bbe8a277684f&CatId=11&postname=A%20Countdown%20of%20the%20Best%20Chinese%20Love%20Stories%20of%20All%20Time&srsltid=AfmBOoqSTqf4OrylKvSMvt2Qya2x3hGCRwyTwAMUUHuYiwi0wv9msssU |
