Wu Zetian does not necessarily love a person who falls in love with Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian's criteria for choosing a spouse are very strict. There are four standards. First, people should be young and beautiful. Second, the level of sex should be first-class; The third is to be talented and not mentally retarded; Fourth, we should know how to advance and retreat, and we should not advocate the equality of male rights. As far as the literary talent of the Tang Dynasty is concerned, there are not a few people who meet these conditions. Of course, with the exception of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi, they are all second-generation emperors (strictly speaking, third-generation emperors) with extraordinary status.
At that time, there was a great poet named Song, who privately thought that he should be qualified. Song Wenzhi, whose name is Yanqing, was born in Fenzhou in the Tang Dynasty, that is, in Fenyang City, Shanxi Province. This great poet is not only a good poet, but also an ordinary figure and a standard handsome talent. Song Wenzhi was born around 656 AD, 32 years younger than Wu Zetian. Of course, Wu Zetian conditionally recruited Toy Boy after the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, when she was 6 1 year old. At that time, Song was already 30 years old. Although she was much younger than Wu Zetian, from the perspective of being a woman, she was very over-aged.
Wu Zetian had long admired him. On one occasion, in Luoyang, Wu Zetian was suddenly excited about poetry and ordered ministers to entertain poems. A man named Oriental Autumn was the first person to make it. Wu Zetian saw it and praised it. Gave her a brocade robe on the spot. Song Wenzhi's poem "Ying Zhi in Longmen" was written with good quality, and Wu Zetian praised it. She asked for the brocade robe for Oriental Autumn and gave it to Song. Such kindness is famous all over the world.
So although he is over age, Song still has to give it a try. How to try? Of course, the poet wrote a poem, so he wrote a poem called Ming River: "August is cool and sunny, and there are no clouds in Wan Li. Vaguely see the south building is shallow and the western hills are vertical and horizontal. Luoyang city is towering into the sky, and the long river is thousands of miles every night. Especially suitable for Qionghu Painting Gallery. The mica curtain overflows and the crystal curtain turns. See Nanmo in Dongcheng when you come back. Nanmo recruits people to go or not. Who will beat the cold clothes tonight? On the surface of Yuanyang, fireflies are sparse, and a wild goose flies near Wuqi Bridge. It is difficult for geese to fly and fireflies to rest. Sit and watch the Ming River drift away. You can relax like a floating cloud, in the glory of Ryutsuki. He Ming is expected to be unfriendly, and I hope to see this. I will also support the Weaver Girl and go to Chengdu to sell fortune tellers. " This poem is of great artistic value. It makes loneliness and sadness in the world euphemistically sad and imaginative.
You can't see anything from the surface of the poem. Perhaps "Ming River is unfriendly" refers to the lonely female emperor in the palace, while "willing to take advantage" is to express herself. And the last two lines of the poem, "I will weave a woman's loom and visit a fortune teller in Chengdu." This is a story.
Legend has it that a man crossed the river by car in ancient times, saw a woman making brocade, and asked her where the brocade was. The woman didn't answer directly, but pointed to a nearby stone and said, "Take it back to Chengdu and find a man named Yan Junping. He will tell you everything. " Later, this man found Yan Junping in Chengdu. Yan Junping said, "This stone is called weaving stone, which is used by the weaver girl in the sky to cushion the loom. One day in August this year, I looked at the sky at night and found a guest star between the bucket and the ox. So you got there. "
Of course, this is just a legend, but Song Wenzhi wrote it in his poem. From a literary point of view, it is written from the world to the sky. But does he want to stay with Vega himself, or does he want to take the fairy stone to Chengdu to calculate whether he has good luck? Of course, despite these vague hints, Wu Zetian did not accept him. It is said that he has bad breath. It is said that he brushes his teeth with spices dozens of times every day. But he didn't get the queen's blessing.
Some people say that there can't be such a thing in history, but it's just gossip made by someone who is good at it. The Tang people recorded this matter and said that Wu Zetian made these remarks in the Song Dynasty when he was seeking a bachelor's degree in the North Gate. Bachelor of North Gate is Wu Zetian's aide and does not involve courtship. However, if you just want to be a staff officer, learning is enough. What does the female emperor care about the taste in people's mouths? And to understand the taste, you must get close contact.
I have always believed that a good poet can't be a bad person. But here in Song Dynasty, the situation changed, and his behavior was unanimously criticized by the then and future generations. He boldly showed his love to the female emperor, and there were not many elements to pursue love. What he thinks of is the splendor that the female emperor can give. Since you can't personally serve the female emperor, then personally serve those who serve the female emperor. The great poets in the Song Dynasty served the famous poets in the Wu Zetian period, and even carried the urinal for Zhang. It is shameful to kill the poet's face.
After Wu Zetian's death, Song also wrote an elegy of the Empress Dowager, "Like things, courtesy, clothes are collected in Handu. Who pities Yu Shun and cries in the sky. " This song is about the crown, and you can't see his true feelings. Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne and sentenced him to death in the name of being a traitor. A generation of poets finally got tired of fame and wealth and died in a distant relegation place.
He has a very famous five-character quatrain: "The sound outside the spine is broken, and the winter is repeated in spring." Now, near my village and meeting people, I dare not ask a question. "It seems that he himself is well aware, feeling a little timid, and perhaps more afraid of the evaluation of his hometown people.
Read Song Wenzhi's five-character poem Du Da Yu Ling: "When you go to Ling Du, you can bid farewell to your motherland and stop to see your home. My soul followed the birds flying from the south to the north, looked at the branches in the north and shed tears. The continuous rain on the mountain has slightly stopped, and the clouds on the river have slightly turned into trend clouds. But I dare not hate Changsha. " Sincere and sincere writing is a rare masterpiece in the Five Laws of the Tang Dynasty. This also makes future generations feel sorry for his talent. In the history of China's poetry, he is a poet who has made outstanding contributions to the stereotype of modern poetry, marking the time division between ancient poetry and modern poetry. Behind him, modern poetry has been popular for more than 1000 years until today. Of course, this is something he never thought of.
