Eating goods can never stop the charm of eating. Did Meng Haoran really end his life because of eating?

Meng Haoran was not a foodie, but his death was an accident and misfortune, and it was a loss for the poetic world. Meng Haoran's life, wandering in the contradiction between seeking an official position and seclusion, ended his desire to seek an official position until he met with a nail and lived in seclusion. Meng Haoran's poems are mostly landscapes, pastoral, seclusion and travel notes.

Although it is not without cynicism, it is more of a poet's self-expression. He and his good friend Wang Wei are also called "Wang Meng". Although his poems are not as extensive as Wang Wei's, they have unique artistic attainments, and they are the forerunner of the pastoral poetry school in Tang Dynasty after Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao. In this way, a talented poet ended his life in a "romantic feast, eating fresh food and moving".

History books have detailed records of this. In 740 AD, that is, in the 28th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Changling went south to Xiangyang to meet Meng Haoran, and they had a good talk. Meng Haoran suffers from carbuncle at this time. At this time, Meng Haoran's illness will be better. The doctor told him never to eat fresh fish and avoid eating. Otherwise, the previous hard treatment will not only be in vain, but also life-threatening.

Meng Haoran and Wang Changling are good friends. Since old friends get together, Meng Haoran will naturally hold a special banquet, and at that time, they have a good talk. There is a dish at the banquet that has always been a must-have for Xiangyang people. It is very delicious. The waves are full of fun. Meng Haoran, who is carried away, can't help but move his index finger when he sees fresh fish, and he will try it when he answers.

As a result, Meng Haoran closed his eyes forever before Wang Changling left Xiangyang, at the age of 52. I often think that if Wang Changling hadn't come all the way here, there would have been more poems like "How wide the sky is, how close the trees are, how clear the water is"! Stay, Meng Haoran wouldn't have to die so early.

However, history cannot repeat itself. How can you blame Master Meng for letting Wang Changling make such a visit and leave the world of mortals forever? There is an old saying: "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me". Wang Changling must feel guilty for Meng Haoran's death all his life.
