It is hard to imagine that such a poem came from the mouth of Japanese friend Onuma Murayama. As a famous Chinese poet during the Meiji Restoration period in Japan, he must have loved Chinese traditional culture to the core when he recited these lines. The so-called Six Dynasties figures refer to the six dynasties that founded the country with Nanjing as its capital, the Wu Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, Qi Dynasty, Liang Dynasty and Chen Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. Of course, Nanjing at that time was called Jiankang.
Mr. Zong Baihua, a modern Chinese philosopher, once said that the Six Dynasties was an era of "extreme spiritual freedom, liberation, wisdom, and enthusiasm." In those six dynasties, the Wei and Jin Dynasties were characterized by flamboyant personalities and popular talk. There was also the artistic prosperity of calligraphy, painting and sculpture. It was also an era when Buddhism and Taoism coexisted, and metaphysics was prevalent. It can be said to be quite exciting.
The well-known Wang Xizhi, who wrote the best running script in the world, and Gu Kaizhi, who painted "Luo Shen Fu" and "Nu Shi Proverbs", were celebrities in the gentry during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and were known as the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Shan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Liu Ling, Wang Rong and Ruan Xian lived their lives wantonly, living a carefree and unrestrained life without lacking in humanity. Take Shan Tao as an example. Although he walked out of the mountains and worked for the Sima clan and was despised by everyone, before Ji Kang was framed and died, he still trusted Shan Tao to treat his descendants well and said to his son: "Ju Yuan Now, you are not alone. "It can be seen that everyone is a person of temperament. The works "Six Methods of Sheikh" and Liu Xie's "The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons" about painting techniques were produced during the Southern Dynasties. The emperor Bodhidharma came to see was Emperor Wu of Liang. Although Emperor Wu of Liang did not understand the essence of Buddhism, he built a large number of temples. In a sense, his actions also promoted the spread of Buddhism in China. Although wars were frequent during the Six Dynasties, literature and art flourished in a soil without any interference.
As for the most famous poems of the late Tang Dynasty, they are naturally inseparable from Xiao Li Du, Du Mu and Li Shangyin. As a second-generation official, Du Mu could be regarded as seeing all the prosperity and romance, so he could write such a poem as "The down and out rivers and lakes are in the wine shop, and the waist is slender and the palm is light. After ten years, I have dreamed of Yangzhou and won the reputation of a brothel." Although it is The wild and romantic style also expresses the desolation after prosperity. As for the sentence "There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many towers are in the mist and rain." can be regarded as the emotion of the Southern Dynasty. As for Li Yishan, although in Lin Daiyu's opinion only the sentence "Leave the lotus leaves to listen to the sound of rain" caught her eye, many of his poems have become today's golden verses. "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk" has become an indispensable sentence for daily sighs. "It's hard to say goodbye when we meet. The east wind is powerless and all the flowers are withered. The spring silkworms will die when they die, and the wax torch will turn to ashes before the tears dry." It is open to interpretation. Not to mention "Zhuang Sheng dreamed of butterflies at dawn, and looked forward to the emperor's love for cuckoos." and "This feeling can only be recalled, but it was already lost at the time." have become classic captions in many love novels.
The chant "A kind of romance I love most, the late Tang poems of characters from the Six Dynasties" expresses the arrogant, unrestrained, unrestrained, talented and unrestrained nature of the literati. Political frustration may, to a certain extent, lead to cultural and artistic pride. Mr. Onuma Maruyama probably made such a sigh out of sympathy.
