If I had to choose to live in ancient times, I would choose the Song Dynasty, especially when you were in the Northern Song Dynasty-Ouyang Xiu. I really want to drink with you for more than a thousand years. Although I am just a nobody, you won't mind, because you have a broad mind.
Read you and show your impressive generosity. You are the deputy prime minister, and your position is very high. According to common sense, you must be jealous of talents and won't let talented people surpass you. But you didn't. You have the courage to promote and recommend talented people. You promoted and recommended Wang Anshi, who became prime minister and official. He became the greatest reformer in China in the 11th century. You won the "Three Sus" award, which made them famous and became eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. I have to admire your generosity.
Read you and taste your admirable broadness. Politically dissatisfied, he was demoted as the magistrate of Chuzhou. According to common sense, you must be depressed and frustrated, and it is difficult to get rid of the depression in your heart, but you don't care about gains and losses, build a "drunken pavilion" and write "drunken pavilion". "The meaning of drunkenness is not in wine, but between mountains and rivers", so broad. You were once named "June 1". When people ask what a "six-year-old layman" is, you say, "There is a thousands of books at home, a thousand volumes of three-generation inscriptions and explanations, a chessboard, a piano and a pot of wine on the table." People ask about this "May Day", but you say clearly: "Isn't an old man in the middle" June Day "?"
Read you and taste your moving diligence. You have been practicing calligraphy in Shanghai since childhood, studying history books hard, being admitted to Jinshi at a young age, and your career has been smooth, but you have never given up your belief in diligence. Study hard at night, never put down the book, even if the will is frustrated, look for happiness in the sea of books. Someone once asked, how many books do you have? I don't know how many you have read. Ouyang Xiu said, "You asked me what books I had hidden. If there is something I haven't read, I have no words to face my 6 1 laity. " The man specially chose a dusty book to ask him, and he answered like a stream, without any mistakes. As you can imagine, if you don't study hard, how can you answer like a stream and make no mistakes?
Understand you and show your modest and prudent attitude towards life. In that star-studded era, you pursued fame and fortune without arrogance and rashness, which ordinary people may not be able to do. To your credit, you and another historian revised the history books, and their names are listed below others. No wonder the "six schools" of the Song Dynasty headed by you are well deserved. Sansu, Wang Anshi and Ceng Gong are all celebrities you recommended. You strongly recommend Su Shi, saying that this person's name will be better than my Ouyang Xiu in the future, and Ouyang Wenzhong is the most intelligent person.
When I read you, I got the brightest star in the black sky, and the stars were flashing; Reading you, you will get the most beautiful and elegant begonia on the flower shelf, with pleasant fragrance; Reading you, you produce a symphony on the singing stage, which is inspiring. It's not the emperor, but you, Ouyang Wenzhong, standing on the dangerous peak of the Song Dynasty. You are a person who is far behind, and you have a taste of thousands of years.
Read Ouyang xiu
Ouyang Xiu is quite like Bai Juyi, and there are many similarities in temperament, talent and career. He is an impressionable person who can go deep into the scenery and events. Both of them made him write many good works, but he was also fragile because of his sensitivity. He has had many affairs in his life, although some affairs are more suitable. Among them, there are two shady stories, which may be dirty hats buckled on his head by people with ulterior motives. The ruling and opposition parties are in an uproar and almost go to jail. The former made him angry for several years, and the latter made him depressed into a disease and went to the grave ahead of time.
Ouyang Xiu's lyrics are great. Let's enjoy a poem "The Recent Flowers" first:
How deep is the yard? The willow piles up smoke, but the curtain is not heavy. Jade music carving saddle tour smelting place, the building is not high, look at Zhangtai Road.
March storm, closing at dusk, not planning to stay in spring. Tears ask flowers silently, and red flies over the swing.
A national politician who is busy with government affairs can write such a poem, which is particularly infectious to Chun Qing. Why? At that time, for the United States, politics and writing good poems could still go hand in hand; It can not only make great achievements, but also be poetic. Zhangtai Road is a gathering place for prostitutes. Song Dynasty officials, prostitutes. Ouyang Xiu is obviously an activist in song and dance pavilions, but there are also some reasons.
Besides, Ouyang Xiu was the only literary leader in the Northern Song Dynasty. He promoted the ancient prose movement initiated by Han Yu, moved a group of cultural elites in both directions, liberated language from the shackles and flashy luxuries, influenced later generations and made great contributions.
His personal accomplishment is very comprehensive. He is the author of the Book of the Tang Dynasty and the History of the New Five Dynasties. He is an expert in epigraphy, a guqin player, a brilliant chess player, a pioneer of "literati calligraphy", an open-minded gentleman, a senior official of Corporal Li Xian, and a Bole who found a good horse ... He is more addicted to daily life, and wherever there is happiness, he goes. The omnipotence of culture and life is unimaginable, let alone comparable to them. Su Dongpo, a student of Ouyang Xiu, went further on this road. ...
Ouyang Xiu is ugly.
It's a pity. If only he looks like Ji Kang, Kong Ming or Su Dongpo: his face is like a jade crown, and his dragon is like a phoenix, and every pore exudes aggressive heroic spirit.
Ouyang Xiu is thin, pale and his eyes are highly myopic. He is pale and has no teeth on his lips. Show some nervousness because you are sensitive to your appearance. I estimate that this sensitivity will remain until his old age. If he is mediocre, he is probably an ugly ghost who can't be discounted. If he is evil, he must be evil.
But Ouyang Xiu is so excellent that it doesn't matter whether he is ugly or not.
There is a word today: ugly and lovely.
Half a century's practice in the world has made this face interesting, solemn and kind. A national leader has extremely active facial muscles, in other words, rich expressions. On the contrary, this famous ugly face is developing in a handsome direction, although the progress is slow.
Yu Dafu once praised Lu Xun as the first handsome man in China, and those who echoed him never stopped. I remember that one year in order to commemorate Mr. Wang's birthday, many young female netizens were passionate and eager to marry Mr. Wang. They knew Mr. Wang's heart, so they fell in love with his appearance. This is admiration and praise for individuals, which is very different from the "groupies" dancing in the sea of people.
Ouyang Xiu's face is a subject worth studying. Ouyang Xiu began with his ugly face in an objective sense and lived among beautiful women all his life. There must be a secret in this. Under the Millennium, it makes people rethink and taste again.
