Tang Yin's fallen petal poem is a harmonious work. /kloc-in the spring of 0/504 (the seventeenth year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty), Shen Zhou wrote ten seven-melody poems, except Tang Yin. Wen Zhiming, Xu Zhenqing and others all have harmony poems. There are 30 pieces of Tang Yin's Seven Laws of Harmony in history, and various collections of Tang Yin's poems and poems are included in the engraving. The Complete Works of Tang Bohu edited by Zhou Daozhen and Zhang Yue Zun was included in the original book. However, according to the ink marks written by Tang Yin every time, many fallen petal poems are different from the original collection and obviously have been revised. According to statistics, there are many differences in 17, and The Complete Works of Tang Bohu compiled them into an addendum. So there are actually 47 fallen petal poems. And the poem "tender feelings are like tears" were widely praised at that time. Some people think that the content of fallen petal poems reflects the decadent feelings of feudal literati and is not worth filming. In fact, this understanding completely misinterprets the profound meaning in Tang Yin's poems.
Tang Yin is clever and won the first place in Tong Zhi's class. 29 years old, first in the provincial examination. When he entered Beijing at the age of 30, he was imprisoned for taking bribes in Xu Jing. From then on, he not only had no hope of fame and fortune, but also had a thin livelihood. He turned against his wife and soon exchanged a meal with his younger brother. It can be said that he is extremely down and out. Tang Yin was thirty-five when he wrote the fallen petal poem. It's only five years since he was expelled from the imperial examination hall, and he has just experienced a low point in his life. "His chest is full of anger, and he has no reason to vent, so he has to vent." Therefore, the poem Falling Flowers seems to hurt spring, but it is full of talent. Understanding them as fickle and elegant romantic works can be said to be a complete failure to understand them.
Many places in the poem express the feeling that time flies and the years are getting older, which is the aftertaste of the "white-haired poem" when it was young. At the age of twenty-five, Tang Yin found himself "mysterious and full of flowers", which made him feel "sad" and encouraged him to "achieve fame and fortune". At that time, he was still young and had a bright future; Nowadays, the situation has changed greatly. Although it is both a sigh and a sigh, it adds a bit of heroic despair.
At the same time, the poem is also full of depressed and frustrated emotions, suggesting his painful experiences in many places. "Spring is full of worries and illness, and flowers are rainy and windy" is undoubtedly a portrayal of his experience; And the phrase "how many good flowers have fallen, and I haven't met anyone who appreciates them" borrows the image of "falling flowers". Expressed the sadness of his talent.
With Tang Yin's talent, it is really sad to encounter such misfortune. Only by understanding this background can we understand his feelings of cherishing flowers and sighing flowers, which are by no means the leisurely groans of the literati, nor the strong fear of giving new words, but his own impassioned feelings of grief and indignation. However, it is worth mentioning that the fallen petal poem is not only a work that hurts the body, especially the revised poem, which reveals Tang Yin's brand-new understanding of fame and fortune after suffering disasters many times and begins to feel the impermanence of life, which is a harbinger of his future conversion to Buddhism. It is precisely because of the detached and broad-minded meaning contained in his poems that Tang Yin preferred his own poems even when he felt at ease in his later years.
Second, the reasons why Tang Yin wrote the fallen petal poems many times.
Tang Yin wrote falling petal poems repeatedly all his life, which was related to the literati atmosphere at that time. On the one hand, Suzhou in the mid-Ming Dynasty was a gathering place for scholars and scholars, and like-minded teachers and friends frequently exchanged poems and paintings. It is common to write your own poems for others, or write other people's poems, or write poems on other people's paintings and calligraphy. Many of Tang Yin's calligraphy and painting works handed down from ancient times were made by invitation, and some scrolls were marked as gifts for someone or made for someone. Therefore, he has written many fallen petal poems, which may be distributed to different friends. On the other hand, it was also the common practice of literati at that time to record their proud works repeatedly. For example, Zhu Yunming has written his own Twenty Poems of Drinking with Tao Yuanming many times, and Wen Zhiming, Tang Yin and Shen Zhou have also written their own Poems of Falling Flowers many times.
Of course, Tang Yin's choice of fallen petal poems as the content of repeated writing has its internal driving force. If he felt the first time he wrote the fallen petal poem and expressed his frustration and trouble in the examination room, then his later writing would have other sustenance. "Falling Flowers" is a symbolic image in Tang Yin's poems, which conveys feelings not only with flowers, but also with flowers. In Falling Flowers, Tang Yin's complex and rich life experiences are entrusted. In the first poem with Shen Zhou. His mood is relatively low, and he is more sad than complaining. Some poems are very negative emotionally, such as "beauty is buried in the rain at night" After reading it, Chen Jiru said: "Tang Bohu sang the poem of falling flowers, and the phrase" The beauty of the Five Watches is buried in the rain "doesn't feel short of breath. ととととととととととととととととととととととととと12 He himself, like a fallen flower, is about to die and return to the earth. At this time, due to many experiences, no one will ever write a poem similar to "Burying a Stone in the Five Seasons". Instead, it will be desolate and desolate, giving off the feeling that "a dream in ten years leads China, and waves pay for the waves." And "two products have not been harvested, and a meal is divided according to monks. When I was drunk, I tried Qianjia and sold all the rough and heroic words, such as "never", which really showed my true colors. "Selling all his generosity" means that his mood has become dull and calm, and it is no longer "fame and fortune", while "anger" means that he has not lost confidence in life. Therefore, although the fallen petal poems collected by China Art Museum are old-fashioned, they are not decadent. The whole series is about 4.5 meters, and the whole series is smooth and full of vitality. Tang Yin's writing and singing of fallen flowers is a singing of his dying life, so reading his poems and appreciating his beauty will still make him feel the brilliance of life.
