What is The Blue Willow Story?
Background
The blue willow story is a traditional Chinese story about two star-crossed lovers, roughly estimated to have been created in the 1780s. These two lovers, a girl and a boy, fall into a forbidden love, which is considered inappropriate at the time due to the gap between their social classes. [source]
The Lovers
The girl is the daughter of a wealthy Chinese mandarin. The word mandarin describes a term of great honor that is used to describe Chinese officials who have high social status. The boy is the assistant to the girl’s father, the mandarin, and is of much lower social status than the girl.
A Forbidden Love
Their love is socially unacceptable for many different reasons. Primarily, the boy is not considered of high enough social status to be with the girl.
Secondly, the girl is scheduled to enter into an arranged marriage set up by her father, the mandarin. She is scheduled to marry a powerful and wealthy man who was a Duke, which identifies him as a member of the Chinese male aristocracy.
The Willow Tree
The title of the story, usually identified as Blue Willow, comes from the premise of the scheduled arranged marriage between the mandarin’s daughter and the Duke. In the story, the mandarin’s daughter and the Duke were originally scheduled to be married when the last flower blossom fell from the big willow tree that hung over the Chinese temple.
The Tragedy
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, this arranged marriage did not last, because on the night of the wedding, everyone in the palace got drunk, and the servant boy who loved the mandarin’s daughter snuck in, disguised as a servant, to find the girl.
After having to jump through many hoops to actually escape fully, the two lovers steal the Duke’s boat and sail away together. They end up living together happily for years until the day the Duke found them and in his rage murdered both the boy and the girl.
The Doves
The blue willow legend says that because they were touched by such a deep and tragic love story, the gods resurrected the lovers as doves, which are depicted in the Blue Willow scene at the top.
