If you want to fall in love with Tang poetry and the Tang Dynasty, you might as well read "Tang Dynasty Scenery"

I think "Tang Dynasty Scenery" is a sincere book. It took me three months to read it. From the difficult beginning at the beginning, to Finally enjoyed watching it. This book is divided into eleven sections: Preface, Xingjuan, Lianli, Hua Shi, Ghost Lantern, Mei Zhuang, Red Sleeves, Nishang, Taotie, Beating the Drum, and (extra chapter) Postscript, among which Xingjuan and Meizhuang are inked. More. After all, in any era, knowledge or fame are what men aspire to, while beauty and elegance are women's weapons.

Next, let’s talk about the content of the line scroll. The line scroll is divided into five parts.

There is always a poem at the beginning of each section, which corresponds to the sentence "The Tang Dynasty was an empire built with poetry."

In the preface, "I lie drunk on the white clouds and fall into a dream, I don't know what is my body." The light joy draws the readers into it. The author has already stated that "in Tang poetry, we find the glory and ambition of that era." , also found the anger and fragility of that era, found diamonds, and found rust. "In my opinion, in Tang poetry we can not only find Li Bai's moon and Du Fu's thatched cottage, but we can also find the strange things of our great ancestors. dream. Were they confused at the age of twenty or anxious at the age of thirty? Are you greasy at forty? Mao Xiaowen uses the essence of "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty" to tell you.

The greatest contributors to the poetry of the Tang Dynasty were the scholar-officials. Since ancient times, writing and writing have been the exclusive preserve of the scholar-officials who had no money but had time to complain.

Next, let’s talk about the content of the line scroll. The line scroll is divided into five parts.

The poem by Lu You is used at the beginning, "I claim to be very brave, and I ascend the important road. To the kings, Yao and Shun, and then to make the customs pure." to show us the wishes of the officials in the Tang Dynasty.

Even Lao Du had been wandering in Beijing for thirteen years when he wrote this poem. If his family were not well off, others would not be able to afford it. Even so, many scholars of the Tang Dynasty who came from humble backgrounds still did not want to be alone in admiring themselves. Instead, they hoped to gain fame, establish a glorious career, and shine for the great empire.

The author of Yangfan borrows the wind from the sky excerpts that the talented poets of the Tang Dynasty used every available opportunity to promote their "poetry boards", "poetry scoops" and "poetry screens" " During this period, Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen cherished each other and admired each other. Bai Juyi once wrote, "You wrote my poems on the walls of the temple, and I wrote your poems on the screen. I know where I met you, in the sea of ??two leaves of duckweed." It is really a good story that these two people can transcend the prejudice of "literati are indifferent to each other".

"Duanju Shaoshengming" is a poem "Looking at Dongting Lake and presenting it to Prime Minister Zhang" written by Meng Haoran. It happened to be used by Meng Haoran when he paid a visit to Zhang Jiuling. Meng Haoran is the most suitable candidate. "In the hot spirit of the times, no one is willing to curl up in a pile of old papers and chew on words." I like this sentence very much. If the ultimate goal of studying knowledge is not to "cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world" and benefit mankind, but to chew on words. The existence of the scholar who chews words and makes up mysteries is definitely "harming the country" and there is no way to run away. Scholars in the Tang Dynasty advocated learning so much that "if someone is talented and refuses to learn, why spend all his time studying?"

Qian Ye in the Tang Dynasty was willing to put forward all kinds of suggestions to those in power, indirectly guiding a country. Wang Bo, Zhang Chu, and Du Fu are all representatives of Qian Ye. They not only want to "support the Jade Dragon to die for the king", but also want to "bring the emperor Yao and Shun to the throne, and then make the customs pure." Because the ideals of these officials of the Tang Dynasty are worthy of reading and learning by everyone, and they hope that everyone can live a happy life.

The author's narration of "Qian Ye" lets us know that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Not only when the country is in chaos, but also in every peaceful year, we must regard ourselves as the masters of the country and serve the country. As ordinary people, we should not just learn to complain, but roll up our sleeves and start bit by bit to contribute to this country. Look, this is what Ban Qian, a member of the Tang Dynasty, did. He wrote the "Chen Qing Biao" to Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty to seek an official position, not for fame or profit. He was honest and considerate of the people throughout his life, and finally lived up to his oath of "disclosing his gallbladder". Really no sooner said than done.

So we saw that Ren Hua dared to teach the doctor a lesson; Wang Lingran dared to threaten the imperial censor; Li Bai paid homage to the high-ranking official Han Chaozong and dressed up as a "high crown and a majestic sword", fixing his image as a man who stands upright; so the Tang people's Gan Ye is full of confidence and talent. They have confidence in themselves and the times.

Meet the Princes on the Rugged Road

Admitting up to thirty people a year greatly stimulated the most peripheral nerves of the Tang people. These talented scholars had to They tried their best to get the first place. Those who failed to get the first place had to wear simple white linen clothes to show their humility when paying homage to the minister. "I don't know how long the years will last, but I will still wear linen clothes to wait for my father-in-law." The paper and clothes must be adequate, and the works must be even more careful. The examples of Cui Hao and Chen Yong make readers more aware of the cruelty of writing.

The Jianghu Barbarian was written by Du Xunhe, a self-proclaimed Jiuhuashan native in the Tang Dynasty. "Living in the Suburbs is the Thing to Surrender to Li" "The Jianghu Barbarian is the poorest in the world." Listening to them, they shed tears. In order to succeed in writing, they scratched their heads and reformed the past. Guo Han, Du Mu, Pi Rixiu, and Liu Yuxi promoted self-awareness, positive thoughts, and tolerance for all. There is a kind of temperament in their reversal poems called "vast and powerful country". Unlike the gloomy and destructive people of the Song Dynasty, the people of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be more interesting. After Lu Yanrang wrote, he sighed, "I have paid homage to the ministers all my life, but cats and dogs have benefited me the most."

Li Changfu took a unique approach and composed fifty poems of "Servant Poems" with extraordinary anxiety. The whole poem is like "Chun Niang falls in love with a restaurant, and she is not afraid of being late in returning. She is not worried about the delay. She recommended that the lady is lying in bed, and she stays here to study and comb her hair." Like this, but unexpectedly he passed the exam that year. These things always make people say "funny and funny". But there must also be things that make people cry out and sigh. Chu Zai is so conscientious that people can't help but pity him. He laments the cruelty of big people. They can ruin other people's lives in a moment of anger.

Gan Ye in the Tang Dynasty had their own pride, modest attitude, and respect for others, but they were by no means inferior in personality.

The big shots are not all so cruel, they will also be a little merciful. After all, no one is born to live in a high place, just like the people at the bottom of the mountain will not be as low as dust all their lives, so the emperor No matter how good or bad the literary talent is, the ministers will give some money and things. The money and materials may not be much, but they can still slightly subsidize the poor lives and lonely hearts of the children.

The existence of Xingjuan forces you to learn to appreciate someone no matter what, forcing you to step out of the study and get to know another soul. What a meaningful thing.

The Tang people’s love for poetry is reflected in all aspects. Using poems to take exams, people buying and selling poems without feeling ashamed, and the madness of engraving poems on their bodies all prove the charm of poetry.

Bu Brown General with White Head was Wang Wei’s dedication to Zhang Jiuling’s "Xian Shi Xing Gong". At this time, Wang Wei was in office on the right side, and it was the order to pay homage to Zhang Jiuling. In the poem, Wang Wei is neither humble nor arrogant, and his answers are reasonable and well-founded, "Gratefulness is public discussion, and private matters are not what you want." This improved the pursuit of writing by poor scholars. Perhaps it was at that time that the Chinese developed the exchange of favors. Modern people often say that the most terrible thing about Chinese favors is hypocrisy, but at that time, favors warmed the hearts of wandering people.

Perhaps the Xingjuan system was borrowed from the nine-level Zhongzheng system in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but this is also a good method. Just like being outside the law, if the candidates did not get on the list when taking the exam, there are other ways to think of it. , so that the loss of talents will not be too serious. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had a famous saying, "All the heroes in the world have come to my rescue!" Half of the credit should be given to the writing of the book.
