三千年前中國的《詩經》裡《國風·碩人》就提出了非常具體的仙女標準“邦之媛”的標準,竟然與後來漢傳大乘佛教的觀世音菩薩造像完全吻合: 《詩經--國風·衛風·碩人》 碩人其頎, 衣錦褧衣。 齊侯之子, 衛侯之妻。 東宮之妹, 邢侯之姨, 譚公維私。 手如柔荑, 膚如凝脂, 領如蝤蠐, 齒如瓠犀, 螓首蛾眉, 巧笑倩兮, 美目盼兮。 碩人敖敖, 說於農郊。 四牡有驕, 朱幩鑣鑣。 翟茀以朝。 大夫夙退, 無使君勞。 河水洋洋, 北流活活。 施罛濊濊, 鱣鮪發發。 葭菼揭揭, 庶姜孽孽, 庶士有朅。 好個修美的女郎,麻紗罩衫錦繡裳。她是齊侯的愛女,她是衛侯的新娘。她是太子的胞妹,她是邢侯的小姨,譚公又是她姊丈。 手像春荑好柔嫩,膚如凝脂多白潤。頸似蝤蠐真優美,齒若瓠子最齊整。額角豐滿眉細長,嫣然一笑動人心,秋波一轉攝人魂。 好個高挑的女郎,車歇郊野農田旁。看那四馬多雄健,紅綢系在馬嚼上。華車徐駛往朝堂。諸位大夫早退朝,今朝莫太勞君王。 黃河之水白茫茫,北流入海浩蕩盪。下水魚網嘩嘩動,戲水魚兒刷刷響。兩岸蘆葦長又長。陪嫁姑娘身材高,隨從男士貌堂堂! The Duke's Bride The lady tall you see In her robe of brocade, Is daughter of Lord Qi, Wife to Wei of high grade, Sister to Royal Son, Sister-in-law and maid In waiting of a mighty one. Like fard congealed her skin is tender, Her fingers like soft blades of reed, Like larva white her neck is shender, Her teeth like rows of melon seed, Her forehead like a dragonfly's, Her arched brows carved like a bow. And dark on white her speaking eyes, Her cheeks with smiles and dimples glow. The buxom lady goes along And passes outskirts to be wed. Four steeds run vigorous and strong, Their bits adorned with trappings red. Her cab with pheasant-featured screen Proceeds to the court in array. Retire, officials, from the scene! Leave duke and his bride without delay! The Yellow River wide and deep Rolls northword its jubilant way. When nets are spread out, fishes leap And throw on reeds much spray. See how the richly-dressed bride keep Company with her lord on bridal day! |
