A brief introduction to Qin Jia, a poet of the Eastern Han Dynasty, whose representative works include "Poem for Wife" etc.

Introduction

The dates of birth and death of Qin Jia and Xu Shu have always been stated in the literature as "unknown". According to Mr. Lu Kanru's research, Qin Jia's birth year should be around 130 AD and his death year around 170 AD. His three "Poems for Wife", according to the youthful temperament expressed in his poems, should have been written when he was around 30 years old. Mr. Li Binghai's research: Qin Jia's birth year should be between 121 AD and 132 AD, and he was around 30 years old when he wrote the poem. [7]223 These conclusions should be consistent with Qin Jia’s actual situation. From this, it can be inferred that Qin Jia was born in 130 and was around 30 years old when he wrote "Poems for Wife" (around 162). According to "History of Chinese Literature" edited by Yuan Xingpei, the time when Qin Jia entered the Luo Dynasty can be roughly inferred. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Yang Zhen": "At that time, many county and state planning officials stayed and worshiped as ministers, and more than 700 ministers met in three offices. Their money was empty, and there were many people who wanted to eat. But they were not good at guarding the prime minister, and they wanted to do things for the country. The pond was filled with water and filthy. It was also used to stop the coveted people. From then on, Emperor Huan's reign was over, and there were no officials left to worship him. "[2] In 1772, Yang Bing wrote to him in the winter of the fifth year of Yanxi (162). After replacing Liu Ju as Taiwei, it can be seen that Qin Jia entered Luo to eliminate Huangmenlang before the fifth year of Yanxi (162), and after Emperor Huan executed Liangji in the second year of Yanxi (159). Qin Jiazheng was in his thirties, high-spirited and talented. He decided to name himself in the palace. His fame became famous for a while. With the ideal of "generally clarifying the world", he went to Beijing to be dismissed as Huang Menlang.

Qin Jia was born in Pingxiang County, Hanyang County. Regarding the birthplaces of Qin Jia and Xu Shu, many materials generally refer to them as Longxi, without detailed research. Xu Ling's "New Odes of Yutai" (Volume 1) "Qin Jia's Poems for Women (Three Poems)" preface: "Qin Jia, whose courtesy name was Shihui, was from Longxi. He was a servant of the county. His wife, Xu Shu, returned home after falling ill. I received a farewell poem as a gift. "Yu Shinan's "Beitang Shuchao" Volume 136 says: "(Qin) Jia, courtesy name Shihui, was from Longxi. Emperor Huan of the (Han) Dynasty was the county chief and entered Luo. , except Huang Menlang, died of illness in Jinxiangting." "Tongwei County Chronicle" mostly adopts this theory. However, there are many contradictions or inaccuracies in the literature, and there are many questions about Qin Jia's birth date and "cause of death". The so-called "Longxi" of the ancients refers to a broad geographical concept. Qin Jia's actual birthplace should be Pingxiang County, Hanyang County, which is now Tongwei County, Gansu Province. "Yu Ge Zhi·Evolution Table·Gongchang Prefecture Tongwei County" notes: "Pingxiang County was governed by Tianshui County in the third year of Yuanding; it belonged to Hanyang County in the Later Han Dynasty; Pingxiang County was included in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties; it was the province of the Southern and Northern Dynasties; In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was the seat of Longxi County; in the Five Dynasties, there was no place for it; in the Song Dynasty, Tongwei Fort was built in Xining, and in Yuanfeng, it was promoted to a county and belonged to Gongzhou. In the fifth year of Chongning, it was abolished; in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was all Tongwei County. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Prefectures and States Chronicles Five": "Hanyang County was established by Emperor Wu as Tianshui and was renamed in the 17th year of Yongping." [2] 2398 According to the "Reconstruction of Tongwei County Chronicles" from the 41st to 44th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1613 -1616) and the "Tongwei County Chronicle" in the 26th year of Qianlong's reign, there is no doubt that Qin Jia Xu Shu was a native of Tongwei County, Gansu Province. Articles such as Wen Hulin's "A Study of the Life and Works of Qin Jia and Xu Shu" and He Yu's "A Study of the Hometowns of the Eastern Han Dynasty Poet Qin Jia and Xu Shu in Today's Tongwei County" use detailed historical materials to argue that "the hometowns of Qin Jia and Xu Shu are in There is no doubt that it is Tongwei County today” [3]. History

The Eastern Han Dynasty adopted many of the principles and policies of the Western Han Dynasty in its governance, and made adjustments and reforms in some aspects to make it more suitable for the social conditions at that time. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the political power further strengthened its integration with local forces, stabilizing the country and surpassing the level of the Western Han Dynasty in terms of economy, culture, science and technology. In 105 AD, Cai Lun transformed the paper manufacturing technology on the basis of his predecessors, making the written record method break away from the era of using bamboo slips. At the same time, papermaking has been passed down to this day as one of the four ancient Chinese inventions that we are familiar with. Another contribution of the Eastern Han Dynasty to later generations was the development of the pottery industry, which completely broke away from the material constraints of the Bronze Age and brought some supplies that were previously exclusive to wealthy aristocrats into the homes of ordinary people. The literature of the Eastern Han Dynasty developed greatly compared with previous generations. The literary works of the Eastern Han Dynasty mainly include Ci Fu and five-character poems. Among them, in terms of Ci and Fu, there were many authors in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but most of them were imitations.

A more complete biography of the correspondence can be found in the 32nd volume of "Yiwen Leiju" compiled by Ouyang Xun in the early Tang Dynasty. The second volume of "Xixi Congyu" written by Yao Kuan of the Southern Song Dynasty contains all the poems and essays on gifts and replies, but it does not exceed the scope of "Yutai" and "Leiju". "Beitang Shuchao" written by Yu Shinan, which was written in the Sui Dynasty, and "Taiping Yulan", which was written in the Song Dynasty, have some sporadic quotations from the letters exchanged between Qin Jia and Xu Shu, and several of them are beyond the scope of "Leiju" , it can be seen that the quotations from "Leiju" are not the whole text, which is consistent with the selection criteria of Ouyang Xun's "Leiju Preface to Art and Literature" of "abandoning the unnecessary and lengthy articles". "Leiju" pioneered the compilation method of Leiju books in which the related events were listed first and the texts were listed later. It improved the shortcomings of previous similar books that emphasized the events but not the excerpts and randomly excerpted sentences without breaking them into fragments. However, the recorded texts were not without deletion. Just because most of the poems and essays recorded in "Lei Ju" are self-contained paragraphs should not be mistaken for the full text. Appreciation of five-character poems

Three poems for wives

1

Life is like morning dew. There are many villages in the world. Worry and hardship often arrive early. Happy parties are always bitter and late.

The incomplete poetry and monuments

It should be remembered as serving the time. It's far away from you. Send a car to welcome your son back. Empty round trip and empty return.

Save the sadness of writing. Can't eat before meals. Sitting alone in an empty room. Who can encourage you?

Long sleepless nights. Lie on the pillow and turn around alone. Worry comes in cycles. The gangster seat cannot be occupied.

2

The emperor’s spirit has no personal ties. Be kind to Tianlu. Hurt me and your body. The young man suffered from loneliness.

What is gained is a great righteousness. There is not enough joy and suffering. Remember to stay away from others. Missing the ballad.

There are no boats in the river. The road is close to Qiulu. Feeling melancholy on the way. The middle driver is hesitating.

Floating clouds rise over the mountains. The sad wind stirs up the deep valley. A good horse never returns to its saddle. A light car does not rotate the hub.

Acupuncture can be given repeatedly. There are countless sorrows and thoughts. A chaste man is faithful to the end. Enyi does not belong.

Three

The servants march solemnly. Clang and bell. Take the lead early in the morning. Girdle and wait for the rooster to crow.

Look at the empty room. Think about posture. Don't hold any hatred. Sitting up is restless.

What's the use of describing my heart. My sincere condolences. Baochai shines brightly. A clear mirror can tell the shape.

Aromatic to remove dirt and filth. Suqin has a clear sound. The poet feels papaya. I want to answer Yao Qiong.

I am ashamed that he gave me such a generous gift. I feel ashamed that things have gone lightly. Although I know it is not enough repayment. Please use it to express my love.

A poem written by Qin Jia’s wife Xu Shu

I’m not here. The baby is sick and coming back. The door of the house is heavy and stagnant. It lasts a long time.

It’s a deserted place to attend the pilgrimage. Feeling respectful is against the law. You are here to take orders. It's far away from the capital.

Farewell leisurely. There is no reason to express my feelings. Looking forward with enthusiasm. Standing and wandering.

I miss you so much. Dreams are beautiful. You are sending your hair forward. Go to hell with me.

Hate has no wings. Flying high and chasing each other. I chant and sigh forever. Tears stain clothes.

Qin Jia’s poem in response to a woman’s wife

Sad people are easily sentimental.

"Jade" "Taixin Ode"

Two wedding poems

1

t Xiang Ji collected. Two tribes having sex. Congratulations on your new marriage. The six rites do not make you guilty. Lamb e always prepared.

Jade and silk. A gentleman is in charge. Majestic Kong Xian. Yixi looks beautiful. Mu followed his words.

2

Different marriages. The cause of misfortune and good fortune. The guard girls are in full swing. Bao Si destroyed Zhou Dynasty. Fight, fight, fight.

Fear of virtue but not hatred. God reveals its good fortune. The result is your order. My love. Rest in Lotus Sky. Poems for Wife

The warm day brings the rays to the west. Chickens and birds chirp, and flocks fly to the couplets.

The bright moon and the shining stars. The severe frost is depressing, and the flying snow covers the courtyard.

Living alone in a lonely, empty room. The curtains are fluttering and the candles are shining brightly.

If you don’t live here, how can you use curtains? If you are not a light, what is Huazhu?
