My old bacon is back!

Chapter 271 The Poets of the Giant Tang Dynasty
This long article in the People's Daily directly set the tone for Qi Yuan, "Sui and Tang Dynasties", and "5000 Years of China".

From the official point of view, this book is also super awesome, the kind that can be passed on to future generations.

Qi Yuan's status in the literary world of the entire Hua Kingdom has become a little strange.

According to the truth, he who wrote "Three Thousand Tang Poems" is enough to be a god.

But this Tang poem came too steeply and suddenly. At this moment, people in the entire Hua Kingdom hadn't realized what kind of cultural monster Qi Yuan had written.

Although they already know that there are three thousand Tang poems, each of them is an excellent work that can stand the test of time.

……

On the second day after the official publication of the People's Daily.

The Huaguo Writers Association also published a long article.

"Those Poets of the Giant Tang Dynasty".

After the book "Sui and Tang Dynasties" was sublimated in the prosperous Kaiyuan period, the famous "Anshi Rebellion" broke out.

After the separatism of feudal lords and towns, eunuchs' disorderly administration, courtiers' party administration, alien invasion, peasant uprising... almost all terminal illnesses came over once.

With the capital falling six times and the emperor moving nine times—this dynasty lasted for 152 years.

The foundation of the Tang Dynasty was so strong that it outshone the past and the present both at home and abroad.

And the author believes that it is the poets of the flourishing Tang Dynasty who supported the blood and bones of this dynasty.

Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Li He, Wang Wei, Liu Yuxi, Li Shangyin, Du Mu...

Each of the more than 2000 poets of the Tang Dynasty described by Qi Yuan is lovely.

Today, let us walk into them.

……

Gao Shi's grandfather was the founding general Gao Kan.

But as a young man, he didn't care about fame and fortune at all.

Gao Shi has been to the frontier fortress three times in his life, and most of his poems were written during the first time.

He wrote about the customs of the frontier, the daily life of the frontier, and the war scenes of the frontier.

He wrote, "If you don't see the bitterness of the battle on the battlefield, you still remember General Li", to satirize the emperor who was so successful and the general who was corrupt and underestimated the enemy.

After Gao Shi failed the ranking, he started his second outing.

On the way, I also met Li Bai and Du Fu.

The three of us had a great time.

After returning, Gao Shi became an official.

But being an official is not so easy to do.

He was neither willing to curry favor with his boss nor to oppress the people, so he resigned.

At this time, he wrote two poems "Farewell to Dong Da".

Thousands of miles of yellow clouds are white, and the north wind blows wild geese and snow.

Mo Chou has no confidant, no one in the world knows the king.

Liu He Piao Xi pityed himself privately, and one left Jingluo for more than ten years.

The husband should be rich and humble, and we meet today without money for wine.

Soon, Gao Shi came to Beyond the Great Wall for the third time, hoping to make contributions here.

It wasn't until he was in his 50s that the Anshi Rebellion happened.

The Anshi Rebellion was a turning point in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it was also a turning point in many people's lives.

Gao Shi is no exception.

At first, Gao Shi was guarding Tongguan.

It could have been defended, but Tang Xuanzong ordered a decisive battle to go out.

So the 20 defenders were directly defeated.

……

The official led everyone to interpret the poets of the Tang Dynasty written by Qi Yuan. Readers, I really like it.

After all, the main content of the entire "Sui and Tang Dynasty" is actually a strategic plan, a top-down grand narrative with political struggle as the main line.

As for the official Writers Association, being able to extract the part of the poet, it has to be said that it meets the needs of many people.

"Li Bai and Du Fu are in the first gear, and there is an empty gear in the middle, which is the others!"

"There is no doubt that Li Du is number one. Then the question arises, who is the third person under Li Du?"

"I love Bai Juyi!"

"Bai Juyi is a hammer, this is a scumbag!"

"I love Yuan Zhen!"

"Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi are similar!"

"It's still the poems of the frontier poets. It's comfortable to read. It's majestic! I love it to death!"

……

Wang Changling is also a representative of the Frontier School of Poetry.

When he was young, his peers were busy with the imperial examinations, but he decided to go to Songshan to become a Taoist priest.

After being a Taoist priest for several years, he went beyond the Great Wall.

At this time, he wrote:

Huang Sha wears gold armor in battle, and will not pay back without breaking Loulan.

and also:

Qin Shiming Moon and Han Shiguan, Wanli Long March people have not returned.

But so that the Dragon City Feijiang will be there, he will not teach Huma Du Yinshan.

At the age of 30, he returned to Chang'an City to take part in the imperial examination.

With his talent, he was naturally selected as a Jinshi.

Then he came to the National Library and became an administrator.

But within a few years, he was demoted again and again because he offended the powerful.

Then he came to the south.

At this time, he should be in a bad mood.

A friend came to see him.

He wrote:
Luoyang relatives and friends are asking each other, a piece of ice is in the jade pot.

The day of relegation is always sad.

Later, when he was demoted to Hunan.

His friend Li Bai also wrote a poem to comfort him.

Yang Hualuo tried his best to sing, and heard the dragon mark passing Wuxi.

I send my sad heart and the bright moon, follow the wind until Yelangxi.

Lao Wang, Lao Wang, I have entrusted my thoughts of you to the bright moon above my head, let it accompany you all the way and comfort you.

At the age of 59, he suffered from the jealousy of local officials and was killed.

"Although Wang Changling didn't do well in the officialdom, his frontier poems are pretty good!"

"I also want to have a friend like Li Bai, who can write poems for me if I have nothing to do! Look at Wang Lun? Haha, relying on friends has made me famous forever!"

……

Among the frontier poets, there is also a majestic and magnificent poet, Cen Shen.

Cen Shen's ancestors were actually very prominent, and there were three prime ministers.

But in his generation, he was very poor.

At the age of 20, he felt that his books were almost ready.

So I ran to Chang'an City, hoping to find a powerful person to recommend me to be an official.

but failed.

Then he went to the north again, wandering around for a few years, but also did not gain much.

At that time, if the imperial court wanted to be promoted, it was either an imperial examination or military exploits.

Therefore, Cen Shen, like many others, chose to go beyond the Great Wall.

Cen Shen, who had just arrived at the frontier, seemed to be homesick often.

He wrote:
The long road to the east of the homeland, the double-sleeved dragon and Zhong shed tears.

Immediately met without paper and pen, and reported peace with the emperor's rumors.

After staying for less than two years, he ran back to Chang'an.

Then he played well with Li Bai, Du Fu, Gao Shi and others.

Then, he began to miss the life in the frontier again.

He ran to the Northwest again, and followed the famous general Feng Changqing at that time.

During this period of time, Cen Shen's writing and thinking flowed like a spring, and he wrote "Traveling on the Horse River to Send Doctor Feng to the Western Expedition".

Don't you see the horses and rivers walking on the snowy seaside, the flat sandy desert and the yellow sky...

He wrote "Bai Xuege sends Judge Wu back to Beijing".

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass turns, and Hu Tian snows in August.

Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of pear trees bloom...

His brain hole, his imagination, fly unscrupulously in the vastness of the frontier.

One after another well-known poems flew out.

Then, the Anshi Rebellion broke out.

He was demoted again and again, and finally died in Sichuan.

……

Meng Haoran is a representative figure of landscape pastoral poetry.

The word Haoran in his name is taken from Mencius's "I am good at nurturing my awe-inspiring spirit".

Because his father believed that their family was the descendant of Mencius.

His father naturally hoped that his son would become a dragon.

Meng Haoran, who was sixteen and seventeen, was indeed very good, and he soon made his mark in the local exams.

But one day.

He came to Lumen Mountain.

Seeing the mountains, rivers, flowers and birds here, the whole person is immersed in nature.

So, he lived in seclusion here.

During this period, he wrote many poems and formed his own fresh and natural style.

He wrote:

Chunmian doesn't know dawn, and I hear birds everywhere.

The night comes wind and rain, Whispering Colour.

Sometimes, he also goes out.

So he wrote:

Moving boats and mooring Yanzhu, visitors are sad at sunset.

In the wild, the sky is low and the trees are low, Jiang Qingyue is close to people.

But Meng Haoran actually wanted to be an official.

Therefore, he would occasionally write letters to recommend himself to the big shots.

He wrote "Looking at Dongting Lake as a Gift to Prime Minister Zhang" to Zhang Jiuling.

He also took the imperial examination, but failed.

When Meng Haoran was in his 40s, the senior official Han Chaozong liked Meng Haoran very much, and he hit it off with Meng Haoran at first sight, chatted happily over wine, and poured out his heart.

When Meng Haoran told Han Chaozong about his ups and downs for most of his life, he immediately got sympathy and resonance from Han Chaozong.

Han Chaozong decided to find an opportunity to recommend Meng Haoran to the court.

And Meng Haoran was very happy, and agreed to go to Beijing to meet with Han Chaozong again.

But on that day, Meng Haoran was actually drinking and talking poetry with his friends, and he didn't know if he had drunk too much, so he said, "I've already drank, let alone pity him!"

So, the opportunity flew away.

Frustrated by the unfavorable times, he chose to travel.

So Li Bai saw him off.

The old man said the Yellow Crane Tower and fireworks went to Yangzhou in March.

Lonely sails far and wide, and only the Yangtze River flows.

Then he went home.

The leisurely and comfortable farm life is out of date.

He wrote "Passing the Old Man's Village".

Tree edge of the village together, Aoyama Guo oblique.

The general idea of ​​the poem is to eat and drink with friends in the village, so happy!
Li Bai came to him.

Wang Changling also came to him.

Then, he drank with Wang Changling.

Just died.

was 52 years old.

……

Among the landscape poets, there is also Wang Wei who is very Buddhist.

Wang Wei was born in a prominent family, the Wang family of Taiyuan.

He could write poetry at the age of 9, and went to Chang'an City for the exam at the age of 15.

On the Double Ninth Festival when he was 17, he wrote a poem about homesickness.

To be a stranger in a foreign country alone, think of love every time during the festive season.

Yaozhi brothers climbed the heights, and one less cornel was inserted everywhere.

What he wanted to say was that he was so lonely in Chang'an City and wanted to go home...

But come on, miss home.

Life has to go on.

Wang Wei was very popular with the nobles in the palace in Chang'an City, and he soon mixed into the upper class.

Later, at the age of 21, he became a Jinshi.

Maybe when Wang Wei himself felt that his official career was about to take off, someone under him committed a crime, and he himself was demoted as a result.

So he later resigned simply, sometimes living in seclusion and sometimes wandering around.

In the land of Wuyue, he met his old friend Li Guinian.

It is common in Qi Wang's house, and Cui Jiutang heard it several times before.

that was nice scenery at Jiang Nan, met you again in autumn.

Later, he returned to the court and became an official. Soon after, his wife died.

Good friends Zhang Jiuling and Meng Haoran also passed away successively.

His whole person has become more Buddhist.

One year, he was arranged to go to the frontier to condolences to the army.

On the way, he wrote "Envoy to the Fortress".

The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.

The famous sentence through the ages was born.

After returning from the frontier, Wang Wei basically lived a life of seclusion with pay.

He didn't care much about many things in the officialdom.

Although people are in the officialdom, their hearts have already begun to live in seclusion.

At this time, he wrote:

Sit alone in the secluded Huangli, playing the piano and roaring.

People in the deep forest don't know, the bright moon comes to see each other.

Since then, Wang Wei's poems have been full of Zen.

Occasionally, he would travel with some literati and refined scholars.

The rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and new.

I advise you to follow up with a glass of wine, and go west to Yangguan without any old friends.

Then, the Anshi Rebellion broke out.

Having escaped the catastrophe, he completely lived in seclusion.

Go to the water poverty and sit and watch the clouds rise.

At the age of 61, he passed away.

"Wang Wei is versatile, he is omnipotent in writing poetry and painting! The third person after Li Du is him!"

"There is poetry in the painting, and there is painting in the poem! This is the master!"

"He is very good at using color and light and shadow, and he pays attention to the combination of reality, coldness and warmth, movement and stillness."

"Osmanthus fragrans fall, the night is quiet and the mountains are empty in spring. The moon rises to startle the mountains and birds, and the song sings in the spring stream! Wang Wei's poems are so comfortable to read!"

"What's the difference between Wang Wei and Meng Haoran?"

……

After the Anshi Rebellion, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

The emperor, powerful ministers, vassals, eunuchs, all forces competed and entangled with each other, constantly cutting, and chaos.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial court could not suppress it by itself, so it had to rely on the local government itself.

But after the rebellion was quelled, the emperor discovered that a group of rebels fell, and thousands of separatist forces stood up.

This is the characteristic of the middle and late Tang Dynasty: the separatism of the feudal towns.

External instability.

The interior is also discordant.

Many ministers also opposed the emperor.

So the emperor had many important military affairs, so he began to discuss with the eunuchs.

Gradually, the power of these eunuchs became stronger and stronger, and in the later period, they even reached the point where they could abolish the emperor.

Facing the situation of separatist regimes and eunuchs' dictatorship, the courtiers naturally couldn't stand it.

So everyone came out to fight.

Not only fighting with eunuchs, but also fighting among courtiers.

This is partisanship.

During this time, many big events happened.

For example, the representatives of Yongzhen Innovation, Wang Shuwen, Wang Yi, Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan, etc.

For example, when Wu Yuanheng was assassinated, the dignified prime minister was killed on the road!
For example, the Niu-Li party struggle that has been fought for decades.

This long war involved many people.

The fate of Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi, Du Mu, and Li Shangyin were all changed by the party struggle.

Next, the poets of the middle and late Tang Dynasty came on stage.

……

Yuan Zhen's ancestors were all officials.

But because his father died early, he was very poor when he was a child.

At the age of 15, he hit the mark and was admitted to Mingjing.

Then he started from the ground up.

Here, he met his first love, who was later written by him as Cui Yingying, the heroine of "The Romance of the West Chamber".

Later, Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi took the examination of the Ministry of Officials together, and the two had a tacit understanding, like-mindedness, and became best friends in this life.

After Yuan Zhen lost his father in his early years, his mother in his youth, and his wife in his middle age, of the five children with Wei Cong, only one daughter was left alive.

His life was miserable.

However, misfortunes never come singly in his official career.

Be demoted again and again.

In the end, he died in Wuchang at the age of 53.

Yuan Zhen is the best at writing mourning poems.

once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.

Take a look at the flowering lazy, half-edge monastic half-edge.

"How did he manage to write affectionate mourning poems and at the same time often go whoring with Bai Juyi..."

"Yuan Zhen, disgusting!"

"Yuan Zhen is a scumbag, Zhang Sheng in Romance of the West Chamber is himself!"

One night many years after Yuan Zhen's death, Bai Juyi was fascinated, and he thought of him again.

He wrote:
You buried the bones in the mud, I sent the world to the world full of snow.

The love between the two can be seen.

……

Countless Tang poems, countless romances.

The Tang Dynasty described by Qi Yuan is too beautiful and wonderful.

These poets, these verses, are being recited by everyone, and in this different world, they are gradually rooted and sprouting, and they grow wantonly.

Tang poetry, as bright as a galaxy, will definitely affect this Huaguo for many, many years.
