His father, Su Xun, was the "Sue" mentioned in The Amethyst at the age of 27. Su Xun got angry late, but he worked hard. In his later years, Su Shi recalled his childhood experience of studying with his father and felt that he was deeply influenced by his father. Of course, without Su Xun's hard work, Su Shi would not have been able to get a good tutor since he was a child, let alone "learn the history of general classics, which belongs to thousands of words every day", let alone have a future literary master.
In the first year of Jiayou (1056), 20-year-old Su Shi left Sichuan for Beijing for the first time to take the imperial examination. The following year, he took the examination of the Ministry of Rites and won the appreciation of Ouyang Xiu, the examiner, with an article on punishment and loyalty, and became a scholar in high school.
In the sixth year of Jiayou, Su Shi took the Chinese secondary school exam, which is usually called "three-year Beijing Examination", got the third grade, and signed a book for the judge in Dali. Later, his father died in Bianjing, and Ding returned to his hometown. In the second year of Xining (1069), he returned to the DPRK after his term of office, and he was still appointed.
Su Shi has been away from Beijing for several years, and great changes have taken place in North Korea. After Zongshen ascended the throne, he appointed Wang Anshi to support the political reform. Many of Su Shi's teachers and friends, including Ouyang Xiu, who admired him at the beginning, were forced to leave Beijing because they disagreed with the new country Wang Anshi's implementation of the new law. The old rain in the ruling and opposition parties faded away, and what Su Shi saw in his eyes was no longer the "peaceful and prosperous times" he saw at the age of twenty.
On his way back to Beijing, Su Shi saw the harm of the new law to ordinary people, so he disagreed with Prime Minister Wang Anshi and thought that the new law could not facilitate the people, so he wrote a letter of opposition.
As a result, like his teachers and friends who were forced to leave Beijing, they were not allowed to stay in the court. So Su Shi asked for his release and was transferred to Hangzhou to serve as a general.
Su Shi stayed in Hangzhou for three years. After his term, he was transferred to Mizhou, Xuzhou, Huzhou and other places.
This lasted for about ten years, and Su Shi met the first disaster in his life. At that time, someone deliberately distorted his poems and made a big fuss. In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Su Shi arrived in Huzhou for less than three months, and was arrested and imprisoned for writing poems to satirize the new law, which is known as Wutai Poetry Case.
Su Shi was in prison 103 days, almost on the verge of being beheaded. Su Shi was spared because of the national policy of not killing ministers during Mao's reign in the Northern Song Dynasty.
After he was released from prison, Su Shi was demoted to Yong Lian of Huangzhou Regiment (equivalent to the vice captain of modern civil self-defense forces). This position is quite humble, and at this time, Su Shi has been disheartened after this prison. In his spare time, he leads his family to reclaim wasteland and farms to help make a living. The nickname "Dongpo lay man" was given to him at this moment.
In the seventh year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong, Su Shi left Huangzhou for Ruzhou. Due to the long distance and tiring journey, Su Shi's children died unfortunately. Ruzhou is far away, and all the tolls have been used up. Coupled with the pain of losing his son, Su Shi wrote to the court, requesting not to go to Ruzhou for the time being, and to live in Changzhou first, and then was approved. When he was ready to return to Changzhou, Zongshen passed away.
Zhezong ascended the throne, Wang Anshi's power declined, and Sima Guang was re-enabled as the phase. Su Shi was recalled to North Korea on 1920. After that, in a short period of one or two years, Su Shi was promoted from the governor of Dengzhou to the bachelor of Hanlin and became the minister of the highest etiquette department.
As the saying goes, "Beijing officials are not easy to be." Su Shi saw the emerging forces desperately suppressing the figures of Wang Anshi Group and abolishing the new law. He thought that they were just birds of a feather with the so-called "Wang Dang" and once again offered advice and suggestions to the emperor.
At this point, Su Shi could neither tolerate the new party nor forgive the old party, so he asked for another transfer. As a bachelor of Longtuge, he went to Hangzhou as a prefect again after a long absence of 16 years.
Su Shi's only achievement in Hangzhou is to build a major water conservancy project and a dam beside the West Lake, which is the famous "Su Causeway".
Su Shi lived happily in Hangzhou and compared himself to Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty. But not long after, Wang Anshi came to power again and he was recalled to North Korea. But he was soon released to Yingzhou because of political disagreement.
After that, Su Shi went to the DPRK several times, demoted officials, demoted officials, entered the DPRK ... and suffered the ups and downs of the official sea. He was banished to Huizhou and Danzhou (now Hainan Island), and when Yuan Dynasty (11kloc-0/) was recalled to Beijing again, he died in Changzhou at the age of 66.
Judging from Su Shi's resume, he was not successful as an official. His main advantage lies in his literary creation. He was one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties and one of the four great calligraphers in Song Dynasty (Su, Huang, Mi and Cai). As far as the existing works of Su Shi are concerned, he is proficient in all kinds of poems and songs. In the talented Song Dynasty, he was a master of poetry, ci and prose.
I have been studying tirelessly since I was a child, claiming that I was born addicted to books and my eyes were dying. In his youth, Jiangxi poets gained a lot of inspiration after studying poetry several times, but he was not bound by it, but was nourished by the poems of Qu Yuan, Tao Yuanming, Li Bai, Du Fu and other great poets of the previous generation.
Although the feudal family gave Lu You a good cultural influence, especially patriotic education, it also brought him the misfortune of marriage. At the age of 20, he married down, and the couple were very loving, but his mother didn't like down and forced them to separate. After the divorce, Lu You was very sad. She once wrote the famous love poem Shen Yuan in an accidental meeting after 10 years.
At the age of 29, he went to Lin 'an (now Hangzhou), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and won the first place in the exam. Because he lived before Qin Gui's grandson, and because he didn't forget the national humiliation, he was deleted from the list at the second interview. Houkuizhou (now Fengjie, Sichuan) passed the verdict, acting as Zhou Shu, Jiazhou and Rongzhou as judges and magistrates. In the second year (1 175), Lu you was invited to be a senator from central Sichuan, Fan Chengda Town. In the fifth year of Xichun, Lu You's poems became more and more famous and were summoned by Xiaozong, but they were not really reused. Xiaozong only sent him to Fuzhou and Jiangxi for two official missions to promote Changping tea and salt. When he took office in Jiangxi, a local disaster happened. He "set up camp" and personally visited the disaster area, "distributing relief supplies to charity warehouses and sending millet to people in all counties". Unexpectedly, he overstepped his authority and went home on charges of overstepping his authority. After living in my hometown for 6 years, Lu You is also known as Yanzhou (now Jiande, Zhejiang). In the fifteenth year of Xi Chun, Lu You left Yanzhou and returned to his hometown. Soon, he was called to Lin 'an as a military attache. The following year, Guangzong ascended the throne and was appointed as a doctor of the DPRK. So he even wrote to persuade the court to reduce taxes. As a result, he was impeached and dismissed from office again on charges of "mocking romantics". After that, Lu You lived in the countryside for a long time, and died on December 29th of Jiading (1210 65438+1October 26th).
He is a particularly rich poet with more than 9,300 poems. His poems can be roughly divided into three periods: the first period is from youth to middle age (46 years old) before entering Shu. There are only about 200 poems in this period, and the works are mainly in the form of words, which have not been enriched by life. The second period was after he entered Shu, he abdicated at the age of 64 and returned to the East. After nearly 20 years, there are more than 2,400 poems. This period is a period when he joined the army in Nanzheng, full of fighting atmosphere and patriotic passion, and also a mature period of his poetry creation. The third period was a long-term seclusion in his hometown of Yin Shan until his death, also for 20 years, with nearly 6,500 existing poems. There is an idyllic flavor in the poem, which reveals a sense of desolation in life from time to time. "Poetry works when no one loves it" can be regarded as expressing his state of mind and artistic realm at this time. In addition, in the poems of this period, there are also simple and practical creative styles. Lu You's poems in three periods are permeated with ardent patriotism, especially after he entered Shu in middle age, which is not only outstanding among contemporary poets, but also rare in the history of China literature. Lu You's poems can be said to have both styles, no matter they are classical, metrical and quatrains, they all have excellent works, among which seven verses are well written. In this respect, Lu You inherited the experience of predecessors and enriched his own creation at the same time, so some people say that he, Du Fu and Li Shangyin completed the "three changes" in the creation of the seven laws (Shu Wei's poem "A Bottle of Water"), and his seven laws were unparalleled at that time. In Lu You's "Seven Laws", the famous Zhang Jun's sentences are indeed overlapping, and everyone is reciting them, such as "Jiang Sheng's endless heroes hate and God's will is selfless" (Huangzhou); "Wan Li closes the river and sleeps alone, even the wind and rain fall in four mountains" ("Sleeping Man") and so on. These famous sayings, either magnificent or picturesque, are both steady and vivid. In addition to the seven laws, Lu You's achievements in poetry creation should be regarded as quatrains. Although Lu You's poems present colorful styles, from the general creative tendency, they are mainly realistic. He inherited the fine tradition of Qu Yuan and other previous generations of poets to care about the country and the people, and made outstanding achievements based on his own era.
The creation of ci is not only a poem, but also a long poem. Because he doesn't pay much attention to this poetic style, there are not many words, only 130 * *. His words are also diverse in style and have their own characteristics. There are many beautiful and lingering words, which are close to the graceful school in Song Ci, such as the famous (Hairpin Phoenix). However, some words often express deep feelings about life or superb mind, such as (divination operator) "Broken bridge outside the post", (double-headed lotus flower) "Stars on the temples" and so on. , or desolate far-reaching, or profound meaning, these words are closer to Su Shi. However, what best reflects Lu You's life experience and personality characteristics are his impassioned and patriotic poems, such as (Han Gongchun) Carving Bows and Arrows, (Xie Chichun) Joining the Army at a Strong Age, (complaining) Finding a Hou in Wan Li that year, and (visiting the Palace at night) Clearing the Snow. This kind of words is close to Xin Qiji. Lu You also wrote many essays, which are quite accomplished. Among them, writing inscriptions, prefaces and postscripts, describing life experiences, expressing thoughts and feelings, or writing poems can best reflect the achievements of Lu You's prose. At the same time, he also shows patriotic feelings from time to time in his poems, such as Jing Zhen Tang's Collection, Tong Hugh's Collection and Shu Wei Qiao's Family.
According to the statistics of the Complete Editions of Jiguge, Lu You's works are as follows: 85 volumes of poems from Nanbo, 50 volumes of Collected Works from Weinan (including 2 volumes of Ci, 6 volumes of Entering Shu), 2 volumes of manuscripts, 6,544 volumes of Nan Tang Shu 18 and Old Notes. There are other books, such as "Family Instructions of Shi Weng" (in the series "I don't know if it is enough") and "Old Home News". In 1976, Zhonghua Book Company printed five volumes of Lu, with the Collected Works of Lu Youyi by Kong.
Wen Tianxiang, (1236— 1283) Song Rui, born in Luling (now Ji 'an) in Southern Song Dynasty, was born in Wenshan.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the court was partial to the south of the Yangtze River and the country was weak. 127 1 year, the Mongols in the north ended the fratricidal struggle for the throne, established the Yuan Dynasty, and then targeted the aggression at the Southern Song Dynasty. 1273, the prime minister led 200,000 troops to capture Xiang and Fan alive, taking this as a breakthrough and going down the river. Less than two years later, he came to the suburb of Lin 'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Where Mongolian soldiers passed by, corpses were everywhere, rivers of blood were flowing, farmland was barren, and all walks of life were dying. This is an unprecedented brutal war of aggression, and the Southern Song Dynasty is facing a serious threat of national subjugation and extinction. Wen Tianxiang is a great national hero who fought against aggression under such circumstances.
The court of the Southern Song Dynasty was controlled by capitulationists for a long time. Also in 1259, the Prime Minister Jia Sidao secretly knelt down to make peace on the condition that he would give in and cut 200,000 silver wires in Jiangbei area and 200,000 silver wires in 2000. However, Bo Yan intended to destroy the Song Dynasty and did not stop invading the south. 1275, Jia Shidao's 130,000 troops were completely annihilated, and the court had no more soldiers. At this time, Song Gongdi was only four years old when he was in office. In court, Empress Xie had to send a "letter of mourning", calling on all quarters in the world to send troops "diligently" quickly. Wen Tianxiang was the magistrate of Ganzhou at that time. He "cried with the letter" and took immediate action. Within two or three months, he organized the first "diligent king" team of nearly ten thousand people. After many twists and turns, he arrived in Lin 'an. Among thousands of local officials, he and Zhang Shijie are the only ones who lead troops and are diligent. This shows how decadent this regime is. 1276 On the 18th day of the first month, when he arrived at Gaoting Mountain, Yan had already surrendered and defected. Other ministers may have surrendered. Although he is willing to surrender, he wants his right-hand man Chen to negotiate. How did Chen Can have the courage? I ran away that night. Thank the queen mother wake only sent a Wen Tianxiang. He faced the danger resolutely, but did not surrender. He believes that "fighting, defending, and moving are not as good as giving" and "at this point in state affairs, you can't help loving your body." He even took this opportunity to observe the actual situation of the enemy camp in order to "save the country." But he didn't expect that while he accused Bo Yan of being detained and unable to return to Song Ying, his militia was also ordered to disband by the capitulators. The ferocity of the enemy never trapped Wen Tianxiang, but the fatuous court and shameless capitulators made him suffer the first serious setback.
1February 9, 276, Wen Tianxiang was escorted to Dadu (now Beijing) and Jingkou (now Zhenjiang). With the help of the righteous, he escaped from the gate of hell. According to his book "Postscript to the Southern Guide", he survived at least 16 times, and after suffering, he fled to Wenzhou on April 8. At this time, he heard that Du Zong's two sons (. Soon, he was called to Fuzhou, where he served as the right prime minister and the Privy Council, and was later appointed as the same governor. In July, Wen Tianxiang raised a handsome flag in Nanjian Prefecture (now Nanping, Fujian Province), calling on heroes from all directions to take their positions and recover lost ground. 1March 277, Wen Tianxiang marched into Jiangxi, recovered dozens of counties in the south, and besieged Ganzhou at the same time. Hunan, Hubei and other places rose up in succession, shaking the south of the Yangtze River, inspiring the people's anti-aggression will and greatly alerting the Yuan rulers. Busy Yuan transferred 400,000 soldiers to solve the siege of Ganzhou, and sent 50,000 troops to pursue Wen Tianxiang. There are only more than 5000 people in the Ministry of Education. In August this year, the empty pit was defeated and several people were sacrificed. Wen's wife and children were captured. Zhao Shichai pretended to be Wen Tianxiang in an emergency, which attracted the Yuan Army, and Cai Wen had to flee. Zhao was killed immediately. This is Wen Tianxiang's second major setback in more than a year.
But Wen Tianxiang didn't lose heart. He made up his mind to fight Yuan to the end. 1278165438+1October, he packed up the remnants, expanded his army and moved to Chaoyang, Guangdong. Unfortunately,/kloc-0 was defeated by Wupoling on February 20th, and Wen Tianxiang could not escape from the encirclement. In order to die, he swallowed the accompanying borneol immediately, but he didn't die, but was captured in a coma. This is his last serious setback. From then on, Wen Tianxiang could no longer lead the insurgents to fight the Yuan Army on the battlefield.
After Wen Tianxiang was captured, he made up his mind that he just wanted to die a fair death, and he didn't want to live. Power cannot be bent, and wealth cannot be lustful. When Bo Yan detained him in Beiying, he clearly told his opponent: "The champion of the Song Dynasty ... owes his life to serve the country, but Song survives, and Song dies, with the knife and saw in the front and the tripod in the back. What are you afraid of? " "1279 October, Yuan Pingzhang's Ama came to Wen Tianxiang prison to surrender, Wen Tianxiang longbow sat down and ignored him, but Ama asked him to kneel down. Wen Tianxiang said, "Why did the Prime Minister of the Southern Dynasty kneel when he saw the Prime Minister of the Northern Dynasty? Ahmed pretended to be the winner and said proudly, "Why are you here?" "Wen Tianxiang sarcastically said, if in me, you can't go to the south, I won't come to you. What are you proud of? Ahma said to the left and right in a threatening tone: "This man's life or death is still up to me. Wen Tianxiang justice awe-inspiring: "If you want to kill people who have perished. This is not for you to decide. Amar cut his throat and left in frustration. At the end of the same year, Yuan Prime Minister Kyle Polo interrogated Wen Tianxiang. When Kyle Polo came, he was on his high horse. When he wanted to kneel down, Wen refused, so he forced Wen Tianxiang to kneel down. Wen awed: "Everything in the world has its ups and downs. Since ancient times, emperors and princes have perished and slaughtered. Why not? Tian Xiang today ... As for this, it has been implemented long ago. "On the eve of the execution, Emperor Kublai Khan surrendered himself, taking the position of Prime Minister as bait, in an attempt to make Wen Tianxiang surrender, but it was severely rejected by Wen Tianxiang. Kublai Khan had to ask him, what do you want? Wen Tianxiang replied, "I'd rather die! "Wen Tianxiang's great spirit of dying for his country made the enemy helpless. This is actually tantamount to declaring the victory of the anti-aggression war, the victory of justice, and the victory of "righteousness" that I praised. This is tantamount to declaring the failure of the aggressors and all capitulationists and traitors.
At the critical juncture of national peril, Wen Tianxiang always takes the national interest as the highest interest, and never shows mercy to capitulators and traitors. 1259, when the Yuan army crossed the river and surrounded Ezhou, Dong Ji, the emperor's favorite, moved the capital to Song Emperor, and Wen Tianxiang bravely went to the desert and begged Dong. 1275, the court posthumously awarded Lv Wende, the general of the Yuan Army, as the king of the county, and promoted his nephew Lv Shimeng as a post-minister. The atmosphere of surrender pervaded the capital for a period of time, and Wen Tianxiang wrote to beg Lu Shimeng to stabilize the morale. After Wen Tianxiang was captured, Liu and other thieves had to bite the bullet and surrender, while Wen was reviled. Even when Song Gongdi, who had defected to the enemy, came to surrender, he was ignored. Wen Tianxiang clearly put forward that "the country is important, and the monarch is light". He is not loyal to the emperor, but only unconditionally loyal to the country and the nation.
1283 65438+1On October 9th, Wen Tianxiang died heroically at the gate of Dadu bus. After his death, he left a lot of poems, such as "Who hasn't died since ancient times, keep a heart and look at history" in Crossing Zero and Ding Yang; Song Zhengqi, written in prison, and Dai Yi Zhao, found in his clothes after his death (Confucius said "to be benevolent" and Mencius said "to be essential", but the righteousness is exhausted, so what did you learn from reading the books of sages? From time to time, it has become a swan song that illuminates the sun, the moon and the mountains, and has become a valuable part of the national spiritual wealth. Wen Tianxiang has thus become an immortal national hero.
