It is said that there is a passage in the marriage certificate of the Republic of China:
"The two surnames are married, and they are contracted together, and they are married forever, matching the same name. Look at the peach blossoms burning today, and IKEA in Yi Shi will be full of fruits and vegetables in the coming year. With the promise of Whitehead, I am willing to write a letter to Hong, so that the alliance of Hongye can be well documented. This certificate. "
The marriage of two families with different surnames will be concluded here, and they will form a good marriage forever, matching each other's titles. Seeing that peach blossoms are in full bloom today, it is perfect to get married (quoted from the Book of Songs here). It is expected that children and grandchildren will spread like melons in the future, and future generations will prosper from generation to generation (also the Book of Songs). I want to write the agreement of growing old together on paper, like the title of a red leaf.
The date of birth, the names of the groom, the bride, the witness, the officiator and the introducer are indicated on the certificate, and their respective seals are affixed. Marriage certificate is a work of art, a work of art to witness the love between two people. No wonder couples used to frame their marriage certificates in the end. It's really old-fashioned and full of literary flavor. Make a picture like this and send it to the person you love. It's very weighty!
Of course, once married, it was almost a lifetime, and divorce was not frequent. Mu Xin said: In the past, the color of the sun changed slowly, and cars, horses and mail were all slow. You can only love one person in your life. (Once Slow) So, at that time, when expressing love, it was euphemistic, calm and unhurried, so there were many forms of marriage, which almost everyone knew. Unlike now, when two people pull the card, only two people may know.
Of course, there are different ways to express love.
The great writer Shen Congwen wrote to Zhang Zhaohe: Most people want to be slaves at the king's feet, but he just wants to be slaves in Zhang Zhaohe. So I touched Zhang Zhaohe. As for what I said later, "I have walked many roads, crossed many bridges, seen many clouds and drunk many kinds of wine in my life, but I have only loved a man who is just right in age." The style is the same, and they are all infatuated.
It is said that what Qian Zhongshu said to Jiang Yang seems to be predestined. He said, before you, I never wanted to get married. After meeting you, I never thought about others when I got married. Quite simply, you are the one I am looking for. Coincidentally, the other side felt the same way, so we walked together for a lifetime.
Jose, the husband of San Mao, a woman writer, wrote: I know you have a bad temper, but you have a good heart. Fighting can happen, but we still want to get married. I think very clearly that the only way to keep you by my side is to marry you, otherwise my heart will never lose this painful feeling. Shall we get married in summer? It is said that Sanmao read this passage ten times before and after, and then went for a walk, and then decided when she came back. She decided to marry Jose. Jose's expression is: I am not perfect, but I can't do it without you.
(Wang Xiaobo, Li Yinhe)
And Wang Xiaobo who speaks his mind. He wrote to Li Yinhe and said, "Hello, Li Yinhe. After you left, I felt bored every day. Just like Don Quixote, I missed my senior mother in Toposo every day. " That's what I thought, so I said so. Behind the letter is the true self, which is quite touching.
The poet Gu Cheng's expression of love is: "The grass is bearing seeds, the wind is shaking the leaves, and it is beautiful for us to stand without talking." It's not so natural anymore, that's all, it's good not to say a word. The subtext is, can you stand like this all your life?
Of course, there are more gentle ones, such as those in the lyrics. In Nanshan Man, he wrote, "He said that you are not as beautiful as when you first met you." It's so beautiful, your beauty, I can't say it, but it's really beautiful. This is similar to Feng Tang's "spring breeze is ten miles, not as good as you", but it is not as powerful as another sentence by Feng Tang. He said, "I will make you restless with all kinds of amorous feelings", and I fell in love with threats and determination! The expression is also quite barbaric! But his determination is not as great as Huang Weiwen's determination to bite his lip. He simply said, "Please teach me all my life!" I'll leave the rest of my life to you. Jonathan Lee is smarter. He said, "No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare with your smile. People who haven't seen you won't understand. " This is a way of combining praise and love, not an imperative sentence, so it is easy to accept.
Diplomatic expression of love is not the exclusive patent of China people, and foreigners are not barbarians who kiss each other as soon as they meet. They also express their love in literary ways.
For example, Haruki Murakami said, "If I love you and you happen to love me. When your hair is messed up, I will help you with a smile, and then my hand will stay in your hair for a few more seconds. However, if I love you and you don't love me. Your hair is messy, I will only tell you gently that your hair is messy. " However, this love story is more like a trial, not decisive, but literary enough.
(Salinger)
In contrast, Salinger, though shy, is really love: "Some people think that love is sex, marriage, a kiss at six in the morning and a bunch of children. Maybe it's true, miss Lester. But you know what I think? I think love is trying to touch but take back your hand. " That's it. I want to be close and I'm afraid.
The classic is a sentence by the French writer Su Bili who was printed with money in The Little Prince: If you say you will come at four o'clock in the afternoon, I will feel very happy from three o'clock, and the closer the time is, the happier I will be. The French are so romantic. For his words, there must be men and women lovers who specialize in collecting fifty franc notes!
(Fifty francs)
It is said that learning chemistry can be courted like this: ah! I swear by Mendeleev: I swear by Li! ! ! Law students can courtship like this: "All my property even belongs to you", and physics students can say: "The most romantic thing I know is to write you a Valentine's Day card with a formula, so that they can put gravitational waves together ..."
In fact, China's traditional love characters are very good. There is a heart and love in it. What can I say? It's all love stories. For example, stay, or I will go with you! All this is simple, but it is enough.
