There are related documents in Yu Shun period, and the later Book of Songs is the first collection of poems in China. China's ancient poetry experienced the development of Yuefu, Tang Poetry, Song Poetry and Yuan Qu in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties. Later, different forms appeared, many famous works appeared, and many famous poets were born, such as Qu Yuan, Li Bai, Du Fu, Tao Yuanming, Li Qingzhao and Xin Qiji.
First, be an official
In fact, most poets are amateurs, whose main business is officials at all levels, enjoying the monthly salary paid by the emperor's court. The Tang poem "Watching the Wheat Harvest" describes the scene of busy farming during the wheat harvest season, criticizes the poverty of the people caused by exorbitant taxes, and feels deeply guilty that the poet himself has no virtue and no work, but he can have plenty of food and clothing. One of them? Today, I have no merit, and I have never worked in farming and mulberry. There are three hundred stones in the land, and there is surplus food at the age of eight. I feel ashamed after reading this, and I can't forget it every day? Explain that Bai Juyi had an official position at that time, and how much was his salary? Three hundred stones? Food.
Write? I will walk until the river blocks my way, then sit down and look at the rising clouds? Wang Wei's philosophical poems were born in the royal family in Hedong. In the 19th year of Kaiyuan (73 1), he was the top scholar, right officer, supervisor and judge in Hexi. During the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei worshipped the official department as a doctor and servant. An Lushan captured Chang 'an, and the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Wang Wei was forced to be falsely appointed. After Chang 'an was recovered, he was accused of granting Prince Zhongyun. In the first year of Tang Suzong's rule, he was appointed as a senior minister, so he was called the world? Wang Youcheng? . Su Shi, Su Xun, Su Zhe, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu, etc. were the eight great masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. What is their main business? Eat your wealth and be loyal to you? However, talented people drink and write poems for fun when they have nothing to do.
Second, rely on friends to help.
Although poets are literati, many poets are very grounded, without the sour and lofty characteristics of Confucian scholars. They are good at making friends, especially those who share the same topic, so it is particularly easy to form a topic circle and social circle that belongs to them. In such an innocent age, people in the circle are simple-minded, so there is mutual help. A sentence from To Wang Lun? Peach Blossom Pond is deeper than thousands of feet, not as good as Wang Lun? Thus, the friendship between Li Bai and Wang Lun, although there are no clear words that Wang Lun gave or helped Li Bai, can still be figured out through the images depicted in the poem.
In Meng Haoran's Passing through the Old Village? This old friend prepared a delicious meal and invited me to his hospitable farm. Green Woods surround the village and green hills are located outside the city. Open the window facing the valley vegetable garden and pass the glass to talk about crops. Wait until the mountain is on holiday, and I'll come back at chrysanthemum time? You can also see the sincerity between friends. When Du Fu was in Chengdu, he relied on friends around him to help him get the later Autumn Wind Breaking the Hut? In August and autumn, the wind roared and rolled up my three hairs. Hair flew over the river and sprinkled on the periphery of the river. The highest one hangs a long forest tip, and the lower one floats to Shentang 'ao. Du Fu Caotang.
Third, farming and selling calligraphy and painting.
Is the famous Mr. Wu Liu because of Tao Yuanming? Don't bend over for five dou meters? So I resigned and retired, and I broke my financial path. But what about himself? It's ridiculous to get up in the morning, and you brought the lotus home? Make a living by farming.
