Interesting introduction: In the late Tang Dynasty, Fan Yi's Friends of Yunxi recorded that in the second year of Changqing, Li Shao, who was working as a doctor in imperial academy, went to Jiujiang to visit his younger brother Li Bo, who was then a secretariat of Jiangzhou. When the ship was driving to the roundabout, it suddenly met a group of thieves who robbed the house. Dozens of thieves with knives and guns ordered them to stop the boat. When the ship stopped, the robber asked, "Who is on board?" The boatman replied, "It's Dr. Roger Lee." After hearing this, the gangster ordered his men to stop the robbery and said, "If it is really Dr. Li, we won't rob him of his money. However, my generation has long heard of his poem title, and I hope he can write a poem for us. " After listening to this, Li She spread out the rice paper and wrote a quatrain: the sand lodge in the mine field meets the night guest, the rain is raining in the village, and the greenwood guest knows at night. He didn't have to escape his first name and surname when he was young, but he is the king of the world today. The bandit leader was ecstatic about this poem. Instead of robbing Li, I gave him a lot of property. It can be seen that Li was very famous at that time, and there were other versions of this matter, but to this effect. About this poem, there is an interesting record in the Chronicle of Tang Poetry: "I tasted Jiujiang and went to Wankou (now Anqing City, Wanshui entered the Yangtze River Ferry). When I was robbed, I asked, "Who? The attendant said, "Dr. Li (once Dr. imperial academy) is also. The chief of his nobles said, "If Li is a doctor, you don't have to copy it. I've heard a lot about this poem, and I want to write an article. Participate in creating a unique cloud. "This anecdote not only vividly reflects the extensive influence and universal respect of poets in the Tang Dynasty, but also illustrates the wide application of Tang poetry in social life-it can even be used to reward' greenwood vendors'. But the spread of this poem is not simply because of the wonder of "skill", but because it contains quite serious social content and realistic feelings in impromptu humor.
