In the eyes of critics, Qin Guan's ci is "the first poem written by Zhu Ji, the highest among poets in the Song Dynasty". Yuan Haowen, who wrote "Ask what the world is like, teach life and death", commented that Qin Guan's poems were "girls' poems", which was somewhat ironic. I think there are two meanings in this. One is that Qin Guan is as sentimental as a woman, and his poems are "feminine"; On the other hand, Qin Guan's ci is very popular with women. Indeed, his lyrics were very popular in the pop music scene in the Northern Song Dynasty. In today's words, KTV has a high singing rate. It is said that many singers are proud to meet Qin Guan, and think that Qin Guan's love words are directed at people's hearts and have a beautiful rhyme. If you can get Qin Guan's attention and write a lyric, you can't even think about it in the entertainment circle of the capital. Anyway, he is the prince charming in the eyes of prostitutes. Qin Guan (1049- 1 100), a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, became a victim of cruel political struggle with his mentor Su Shi in his later career. He has been a member of the Yuan You Party since Shao Shengyuannian (1094) in the Northern Song Dynasty, and has been condemned many times. Out of Hangzhou, I was sentenced, and I was demoted to the state governor's salt and wine tax; In three years, the rank was moved to Chenzhou; For four years, he was in charge of Hengzhou; Fu Yuanyuan, delisting, moved to Leizhou; In the third year of Fu Yuan's reign (1 100), Hui Zong was immediately released. In August, I went to Tengzhou (now tengxian, Guangxi) and suffered from heatstroke in Huaguangting. He dreamed of long and short sentences for the guests, asking for water to drink, and the water arrived. He laughed himself to death and died on August 12. His coffin was temporarily buried in Tanzhou (Changsha) and his hometown Gaoyou, then buried in Guangling, and then moved to Huishan, Wuxi. However, according to Mr. Qin Guanci's Appendix Biennial Table (Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, 1985 edition) and Zhou Yigan, Cheng and Zhou Lei's Appendix New Year Table of Qin Guanji Notes (People's Literature Publishing House, 200 1 edition), it was buried in Li Sancang Mountain, Huishan, Wuxi by mistake. The author interviewed the descendants of Qin Guan for many times, consulted relevant materials and repeatedly verified that the truth is that the burial place of Qin Guan's coffin is not in Wuxi Huishan Canshan, but between Huishan and Mao Feng.

Qin Guan has been in love with a singer named Qiao Yu for a long time, and Qiao Yu wants a birthright, which makes Qin Guan very embarrassed. In those days, men had a little affair to show off, but it was despicable to take a coquettish woman as a concubine. Although Qin Guan is not an official, he can think of hesitation in the face of strong public pressure. In order to comfort Qiao Yu, Qin Guan wrote this poem "The Fairy of the Que Bridge", telling her that "if love lasts for a long time, love will come sooner or later". These two poems have become eternal famous sentences, but they have become eternal wounds in women's hearts.

Qin Guan is not from a prominent family. His father was only a junior official, but he studied in imperial academy with a high degree. Excellent genes make Qin Guan smart and unforgettable. Unfortunately, when he was 15 years old, his father died and his family's life fell into poverty.

In order to change his fate, in the first year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong (1078), 30-year-old Qin Guan went to Beijing to take the imperial examination for the first time. At this time, he was high-spirited and spirited, but unfortunately, when he opened the list, he saw it from beginning to end and didn't find his name on the list. He collapsed. After returning home, he immediately cut off all contact and studied alone to heal.

Qin Guan is different. In his blood, there are both the crazy songs of Zhao Yan and the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River. In the first half of his life, he was a passionate young man. He also thought that the flying commander in Liuzhou would be drunk on the battlefield, driving a chariot to level the lack of Helan Mountain and do earth-shattering things. Unfortunately, his fate was ill-fated, and the weak Song Dynasty did not give him this opportunity. What the Great Song Dynasty handed over to Qin Guanren was a soft heart, a very much in love, an all-night carnival in a brothel, a leisurely lyrical expression of new lyrics, and the anxiety and helplessness brought to intellectuals by the struggle between the old and the new parties. So later, Qin Guan's androgen shrank sharply, and he began to examine his heart, make friends with singers and write beautiful words. We can imagine how helpless and hesitant a handsome guy with a beard and a young talent full of economic dreams, "to be a gentleman, to be a gentleman, to be a gentleman, and to be a pure custom", is when all his dreams are blocked. In officialdom, "the moon is in the maze" and in the future, "the tower is lost in the fog". Only in the brothel close to red and green, among the singers who are good at dancing with long sleeves, can we find the destination and exit of progress. The world attaches great importance to Qin Guan's graceful lyrics, so don't hate those sad words. Who knew that they were not condensed by the passion of Qin Guan?
