At that time, Zhejiang was full of talents. When Liu Yuxi was a child, he often went to Xing Wu to accompany monks and poets. He was taught by them to close the door and his knowledge advanced by leaps and bounds. Nature also has a unique closeness to landscape Buddhism and Taoism.
But Liu Yuxi in officialdom is unlucky and a typical "high score and low energy". At that time, he and "classmate" Liu Zongyuan and others helped Wang reform his shortcomings. Only after half a year, it was strongly opposed by eunuchs and buffer regions. After his failure, he was demoted to Yuan Jun.
2。 A poem with some thorns.
Liu Yuxi was born with a stubborn donkey spirit, and he was also a very individual among the brilliant poets in the Tang Dynasty. If we can be more careful when reading his exquisite poems, we will find that even ordinary poems often have some thorns in their words. These thorns naturally make others uncomfortable; And he himself is not much cheaper.
One spring evening, he passed by Suzaku Bridge and Wuyi Lane, saw the bridge and the lane, and saw all kinds of trees beside the bridge and lane, which aroused the sigh of human vicissitudes and ups and downs, so he whispered:
"Rosefinch bridge weeds, Wuyi alley mouth sunset oblique. In the old society, Xie Wang Tang flew into the homes of ordinary people. " (Wuyi Lane)
It means that the Suzaku Bridge is covered with clumps of grass and wild flowers, and the sad sunset falls obliquely at the entrance of Wuyi Lane. Swallows that once flew into the luxurious halls of Wang Dao and Xie Anjia are now warmly flying into the homes of ordinary people.
Liu Yuxi's description of the disappearance of two prominent families, Wang and Xie, hundreds of years ago is actually reminding those hot officials at that time not to get carried away prematurely: history is ruthless, so why be so arrogant! Yes, those bureaucrats who madly impeached Liu Yuxi in those days have withered like dead leaves now. But for more than a thousand years, Liu Yuxi's poems have been nourishing the aesthetic pleasure of future generations. "Suzaku Bridge" and "Wuyi Lane" are two old brands in Nanjing, which are deeply imprinted in the historical and cultural memory of China people.
3。 Cheer up after being demoted.
Liu Yuxi was initially demoted to the secretariat of Lianzhou (now Lianxian County, Guangdong Province), went to Jiangling and was later demoted to Sima of Langzhou (now Changde, Hunan Province). This is where the exiled father Qu Yuan was exiled. Liu Yuxi and Qu Yuan have known each other for ten years. Therefore, he was not completely immersed in the exclamation of injury; On the contrary, I am extroverted and open-minded. I am very interested in the customs that are obviously different from those in the Central Plains, and I have made a detailed study of the folk songs here, creating many catchy poems with the styles of Zhuzhi Ci.
Of course, sorrowful autumn has always been an occupational disease of poets. Autumn is coming, what kind of poems can poets sing?
"Since ancient times, autumn is sad and lonely. I say autumn is better than spring. On the clear sky and the clouds, it brings poetry to Bixiao. " ("Autumn Ci")
On the contrary, Old Master Q thinks that crisp autumn makes people open-minded, passionate and poetic. It is intended to advise true people with lofty ideals not to be pessimistic and depressed in the autumn of society; Be like a crane in the clouds, even if you are alone, you should cheer up and pursue lofty ideals.
4。 All the way down, all the way stubborn.
Maybe god opened his eyes. In December of Yuanhe 9, Liu Yuxi was recalled to Beijing together with Liu Zongyuan and other relegated ministers. This is a great good thing! You can break your arm and have another big fight! But in March of the following year, he called a spade a spade and sang a poem about trouble:
"Purple devoted to the world of mortals blows, no one does not see flowers back. There are thousands of trees in Du Xuan Guanli, which were planted after Liu Lang went. " ("Yuanhe Xi (a word) was called Peking Opera from Langzhou in the year of Yuanhe Xi")
Today, the nouveau riche in the Qing Dynasty is as prosperous as peach blossoms, but only after Liu Lang was driven out of Chang 'an did I have a chance to get up slowly.
The result angered the nouveau riche and was demoted 14 years. Life can last for decades! Who can afford it! Finally, one day (when he was 57 years old), he returned to Chang 'an, and his memory was still not long. The old man talked about juvenile madness:
"A hundred acres of court and a half moss, peach blossoms are all open. Where does Taoism return? Liu Lang came again today. " (Revisiting Du Xuanguan)
As if to say, wasn't it once as brilliant as a blooming peach blossom? Why are they all silent now? However, I, Liu Lang who was driven away by you, can come back here today. Show indomitable will after repeated blows.
