Live broadcast: Take our ancestors to see modern China

Li Shen was already a prime minister in the middle Tang Dynasty. Among the poets, he was like Yuan Zhen and Zhang Jiuling. Although his father died when he was six years old, he did not go astray and always insisted on his beliefs.

There are many negative records about Li Shen, but they do not appear or record in other historical materials at all. It can be seen that the assertion that Li Shen lived a luxurious life and abused his power is fabricated and fictitious, and there is no real evidence.

Perhaps it was because the place where Li Shen was exiled was in unstable security due to party disputes, and the playboys committed many evil things. In addition, due to the Niu-Li factional government, Li Shen had no possibility of overturning his own case after his death, so the rumor that he was a corrupt official and a cruel official has been passed down to this day.

Some people scoff at the love between Yang Guifei and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, saying it was just a play by a foolish emperor to seize his daughter-in-law. Do you think you deserve it, old man? It's a pity that the lover is gone, leaving behind a topic of endless debate.

Li Shimin felt extremely heartbroken when he looked at the turbulent Tang Dynasty. There were separatist regimes, eunuchs’ monopolization of power, constant internal strife, and factional struggles... His Tang Dynasty was as bright as the stars, but the long-term political and social crisis made it "sick" and difficult to recover, and it eventually declined and perished.

[(In the 801th year of Zhenyuan Period in Tang Dynasty) Around , Wen Tingyun, the founder of Huajian School, was born.

He has been hanging around in the examination hall for many years and is capable enough to help others take exams. However, because he often talks back at the examiners, no teacher dares to accept him.

"Cocks crow in the thatched tavern under the moon, human footprints on the frost-covered bridge."

Finally, he had to leave his hometown due to livelihood.

In 803 (the th year of Zhenyuan in the Tang Dynasty), Du Mu, a military fan who was trampled under the feet of fate, was born.

Warmth can also come from unimportant little things, like the sudden change from "the pedestrians on the road are about to die" to "the shepherd boy points to the apricot blossom village in the distance".

Li Shangyin was born in 813 (the eighth year of Yuanhe in the Tang Dynasty).

He has endured the beatings of society and has transformed from an outspoken and passionate young man into a poet who writes about stream of consciousness:

"When will we light the candle in the west window together and talk about the night rain in Bashan?"

"This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss at the time."

The line "A silkworm may die only when it has spun all its silk, a candle may burn down only when all its tears have dried" from the poem "Untitled" has been used by many to praise the selfless dedication of teachers.

In 831 (the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty's Dahe period), Lin Jie was born.

He looked forward to the stars on both sides of the Milky Way meeting each other, and recorded it on the Chinese Valentine's Day:

"Tonight on the seventh night of the seventh lunar month, look up at the blue sky and see the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl crossing the river bridge.

Every family prays for wisdom and looks at the autumn moon, and they weave tens of thousands of red silk threads. "

The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting on the Magpie Bridge has passed through the mist of history, and the custom of threading a needle towards the moon still exists, allowing us to resonate with the ancients through poetry thousands of years later.

In 833 (the seventh year of Taihe in the Tang Dynasty), Luo Yin, the last poet of the Tang Dynasty, appeared.

First of all, she looks very sorry. She knows that "I am not famous yet and you are not married yet, so we are probably not as good as others." She is a stubborn person who has failed the imperial examinations more than ten times, and can only "live happily today and worry about tomorrow tomorrow."

He was against heaven, earth and the emperor, but he always stood with the working people of the Tang Dynasty:

"After collecting honey from hundreds of flowers, for whom do you work hard and for whom do you enjoy the sweetness?"

In 907 AD (the fourth year of Tianyou in the Tang Dynasty), one of the most free, open, romantic and prosperous dynasties came to an end.

Three years later, Luo Yin passed away. 】

The people under the sky saw a huge and prosperous country from nothing to something, from prosperity to decline. The poet's romance, the prosperity of the dynasty, and the people's self-confidence made them yearn for it, and the people of the Tang Dynasty must have been spontaneously proud of it.

"The Tang Dynasty is a time when all nations come to pay tribute to us. It is our common white moonlight, and it is also the era in which our nation has the highest confidence!"

"I don't know why, but I finished reading it despite it being so long. My heart feels heavy. What a magnificent Tang Dynasty! Foreigners will be proud to come to Chang'an. We will truly be number one in the world! No objection!"

"When I was young, it was very painful to memorize poems, especially those of famous people like Du Fu and Li Bai. At that time, I just swallowed them without understanding their connotations. Only when I grew up did I understand the inner feelings of the poets at that time. It's like the saying: "When you first read the poem, you don't understand the meaning, but when you read it again, you are already the person in the poem.""

"It seems like our ancestors really grew up with us. Their works were available in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. It's so hard to memorize poems."

"The Tang Dynasty was really a time when poets fought each other, and they were all gods."

"The Tang Dynasty was the highest peak that the ancient Chinese nation could reach, and the Zhenguan and Kaiyuan periods were the two brightest pearls on that peak."

"There were many poets in the Tang Dynasty, but I think of Xin Qiji. It's a pity that he was a military general but he took up the pen."

"Through these poems, we seem to get a glimpse into the extraordinary lives of the ancients, as romantic as spring flowers. How I wish I could see the prosperous Tang Dynasty with my own eyes!"

……

Seeing all the comments praising the Tang Dynasty from all dynasties, I feel sour, but I agree with them very naturally.

"Yes, we have never seen nations come to pay tribute to us."

"How can you have the chance to see him? Tianmu said that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is called the Heavenly Khan by the surrounding ethnic groups. They are all proud to go to Chang'an!"

"However, after a long period of division, there will be reunion, and after a long period of reunion, there will be division. Even such a powerful dynasty could not resist squandering, and generations of enjoyment eventually led to its downfall."

Speaking of this, there was another sigh. Yes, throughout history, many dynasties seemed to have eventually collapsed.
