Luo Bing's dynasty:
the Tang Dynasty
Luo profile:
Luo (about 638-684), a native of Yiwu, Wuzhou (now Yiwu, Zhejiang), was also called "the four great masters in the early Tang Dynasty" with Yang Jiong and Lu. Also known as "Luo Fu" with Fu Jiamo. He uses bold words and strict rules. Long articles such as "Imperial Capital" are intertwined with five or seven words, which are both sarcasm and self-injury; Poems such as "Give People a Water" are sad and generous in the cross, with endless feelings.
In the emperor's Yonghui, Li, the king of Taoism, was a master of martial arts and Chang 'an. In three years, Yifeng became a counselor, was imprisoned for something, and was pardoned the following year. After two years of exposure, except for Linhai Cheng, he resigned in frustration. There is a set. In the first year of Emperor Guangxu of Wu Zetian, Wang Wei wrote "Begging" for the man who fought Wu Zetian in Yangzhou (also known as Li), but he failed to present the book and was beheaded by Wang.
Attachment-Luo's Ode to the Goose: from the poems of previous geese, former geese, former geese and Qu Shentong.
White feathers, floating in green water; The red soles of the feet stir the clear water.
-Luo's "Singing Goose"

This is a poem that every babbling baby can recite, which is well known to all women and children. Unlike some famous poems, babies can parrot and shake their heads to recite, but they don't necessarily understand the meaning of the poems. However, this is easy to understand. Two or three-year-old babies can understand with a little explanation.
According to the literature, this poem was written by Luo when he was seven years old. The ancients called nominal age, only six years old. "Full Tang Poetry" includes the poem "Goose Fu", and the title of the poem is bet: "Written at the age of seven." Yun Yunqing's "Preface to Tam's Collection" is "seven years old and can be a writer"; The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty is a biography of "less good belongs to literature"; The Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Talented Man of the Tang Dynasty can write poems at the age of seven. These records may have originated from this note.

This is a real child prodigy poem. Some so-called child prodigy poems are actually word games and sentence-making exercises that children do in the tone of adults. At best, it can only be said that it is a poem that children learn to write. However, this ode to the goose is not simple and interesting for children, but adults may not write it. Poet Du Fu boasts that he is "seven years old and sings the phoenix with his mouth open" (Zhuang You). Unfortunately, Du Fu's poems about the Phoenix have not been preserved. However, from the perspective of poetry, even if a seven-year-old child is a poet in the future, I am afraid it is difficult for him to sing a bird like a phoenix to write about children's interests. This is a myth. Du Fu's poems about phoenix have not been passed down to later generations, which probably shows that they are not successful.
I think there are three main reasons why Luo's poems are loved by people, especially children: first, the language is simple and poetic. Needless to say. Second, lively and interesting. The goose in the poem can sing, float, be dynamic and have fun. Third, the picture is beautiful. Goose with white feathers and red hands; Floating freely on the green water. This red, white and green picture, with a curved goose neck, is beautiful and beautifully shaped.

Reading the poem "Ode to Goose", I can't help but think of the story of Wang Xizhi, a famous scholar and book sage in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Xizhi loves geese, so he left many stories.
One of the stories: Wang Xizhi heard that an old woman in the country raised a tall and handsome white goose and went to see it all the way. Unfortunately, the old woman went out and failed to do so. I had to ask the old lady's neighbor to tell me to go again the next day. Unexpectedly, when the old woman heard that Wang Xizhi's adult was coming to her house, she killed the big white goose the next day and prepared to treat Wang's adult grandly. Wang Xizhi has gone, disappointed and distressed!
Story 2: A Taoist raised a flock of white geese, which were beautiful and energetic. Wang Xizhi heard the news and came to express his willingness to pay a high price. The Taoist priest had a plan and put forward the conditions for changing geese: Wang Xizhi copied a copy of Huang Ting Jing for him, and he gave away all the white geese. Wang Xizhi is also unambiguous. He spent half a day copying a copy of Huang Tingjing. In exchange for a flock of white geese, Wang Xizhi thought it was a great bargain!
Story 3: Wang Xizhi keeps geese in a pond and observes their graceful movements every day. Over time, his calligraphy was inspired by it and made great progress. The word "goose" he wrote is even more vivid.
Luo's poem "Ode to Goose" may not be directly related to Wang Xizhi's story of loving geese, but one thing is certain: the spirit of loving geese is the same.

He is as famous as Yang Jiong and Lu, and is known as the "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty". The four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty, in literary creation, especially poetry creation, have a place in the history of literature. This is common sense in the history of literature, needless to say.
Paragraph "Youyang Miscellaneous Notes" records: Luo Wei made an anti-Wu Zetian essay and listed the crimes of Wu Zhou. Wu Zetian just laughed off when she read that "Emei refuses people, flattery can confuse the Lord". But when I read "a handful of dirt is wet, six feet are lonely", I was very unhappy and sighed with emotion: "Why did the Prime Minister gain and lose such a person!" This story is recorded in New Tang Shu, Zi Tongzhi Jian, Tang Yulin and Talented Persons in Tang Dynasty.
Ode to Goose became a famous poem because children liked it. In fact, Wang has many other excellent poems, such as Political Prisoners Listening to Cicada, Past and Imperial Capital. Among them, "Landscape" was called "the swan song" at that time.

After the failure of Xu Jingye Uprising, Robin's whereabouts were unknown. He was killed, committed suicide, fled and became a monk. Legend has it that Song came back from Hainan and passed through Hangzhou. When he visited Lingyin Temple in the evening, he met Robin under the moon. He was reciting poems. Later, Wang Bin went overseas by boat, and other legends were inconclusive. It is true that as a mortal and a writer, Wang's life was only forty years (about 640-684), and he died forever. If time flies, he will surely write more excellent poems. Wang Luobin is not only a child prodigy, but also an outstanding writer with persistent creative passion and talent.
