The calligraphy of Song Huizong is a good work that has been copied and praised all over the world. However, Song Huizong's calligraphy was as elegant as his character, and Song Huizong also had such a character. Today, we will look at Song Huizong’s life through his calligraphy and see what secrets of the country’s subjugation are hidden in Song Huizong’s calligraphy. Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, was a famous calligrapher in history. His "slimming method" calligraphy is unique in ancient and modern times and unparalleled. Song Huizong's calligraphy attainments, like his life style, are worthy of evaluation. According to "Moaning Language" in Volume 5 of "Jingkang Yishi Jianzheng", "The two kings ordered Emperor Cheng to translate and inquire about matters in the palace. Daozong must marry the virgin on the fifth or seventh day. Once she got the royal title, she became a After abdicating the throne, there are six thousand maids in the palace, and it is suitable to die."
This sentence vividly and meticulously describes Song Huizong's love for the beauties in the harem. There is an old saying that "the words are like the person" and "the book is like the person". Based on this sentence, there are four basic ideas to analyze Song Huizong's calligraphy:
1. "The two kings ordered Emperor Cheng to translate and inquire about matters in the palace. "It means that someone is very interested in his life issues and sends people to explore and study them, perhaps for reference or learning. It can be seen that Song Huizong's pursuit of beauty was as successful as Song Huizong's calligraphy. In fact, Song Huizong's calligraphy was regarded as the same joy of life as falling in love with beautiful women. Confucius said: "There is no virtue like lust." Judging from the achievements of Song Huizong's calligraphy art, his beauty has long been gone, and the scandals left in history are just these few words and ignorance. And his calligraphy is vast and countless, until it is famous in history.
2. "Daozong was born a virgin on May 7th, and was given a title once." Daozong refers to Huizong of the Song Dynasty, who was named after his belief in Taoism. The meaning of this sentence is that Song Huizong will change women within five to seven days, and every other woman will be given a position. This shows that Song Huizong was a man who loved the new and disliked the old. This kind of behavior is definitely morally corrupt for both men and women, but it is innovative for practicing calligraphy. Just imagine, if a person writes the same words without creation, how can his calligraphy level be improved? 3. What does the last sentence "Continue to be lucky and get the first order at a time" mean? This means that if Song Huizong finds this woman again, this woman's status will rise one step higher. Song Huizong's treatment method was also applied to calligraphy practice, that is, the "step by step" of idioms. The popularity of Song Huizong's "slimming method" calligraphy is inseparable from Song Huizong's step-by-step approach.
4. "After abdicating the throne, there were six thousand maids in the palace, so it would be appropriate to die." After Song Huizong was captured, there were as many as 6,000 maids in his palace. It was because he was deeply attracted to women that he fell into ruin. This is the idiom of "playing with things and losing one's ambition". In fact, Song Huizong's obsession with calligraphy also became a bad habit of his being tired of state affairs. According to historical records, treacherous ministers such as Cai Jing and Gao Qiu often asked him to handle state affairs when he was obsessed with calligraphy. He always said impatiently, "You can do it yourself." In this way, power slowly fell into the hands of treacherous officials. When Tuotuo of the Yuan Dynasty wrote the "Huizong Ji" in the "History of the Song Dynasty", he couldn't help sighing: "Song Huizong can do everything, but he can't be your ears!"
Zhao Ji was born in the fifth year of Yuanfeng October 10th, year. He was pampered since childhood and gradually developed a frivolous and dissolute character. It is said that before he was born, his father Zongshen went to the Secretariat Province to see the portrait of the late Emperor Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty. "Seeing his elegant figure, he sighed in surprise again and again." Then he gave birth to Huizong. "He dreamed of Li Zhu's visit when he was born, so he is a hundred times more talented." This
As he grows older, Zhao Ji is obsessed with sexiness, and playing football in the game is his dream expertise. Accompanying Zhao Ji is a maid named Chunlan. She is very beautiful and proficient in pen and ink. She was specially given to the Queen Mother, and gradually became his plaything. But Zhao Ji was not satisfied. With the honor of being a prince, he often went to brothels incognito to recruit prostitutes. Almost all the famous prostitutes in Beijing had an affair with him. Sometimes, he would disguise his favorite prostitutes into the palace and keep them as his own for a long time. At the same time, Zhao Ji made a group of friends who had the same taste as him. His best friend married Princess Wei Chang, the daughter of Yingzong, and became the Xu family. But Wang Shen was a dissolute man and his behavior was extremely inappropriate. Although the princess is gentle and virtuous and serves her parents-in-law wholeheartedly, Wang Shen dotes on his concubines and they contradict the princess many times.
For this reason, Shenzong was demoted twice, but he did not repent. Even when the princess was sick, he joked with the concubines in front of the princess.
Such a bad guy is Zhao Ji's guest. They frequented Xie Fang Mansion, a well-known brothel in Beijing. Wang Shen collected the famous painting "Hollyhocks", but only half of it. He often mentioned this matter in front of Zhao Ji, and his regret was palpable. Zhao Ji kept it in mind, sent people to search everywhere, and finally found the other half of the painting, and asked Wang Shen for the other half. Wang Shen thought that Zhao Ji, who loved calligraphy and painting, wanted to collect the painting, but Zhao Ji framed the two halves of the painting into a complete painting and gave it to him, which shows the deep relationship between them.
Zhao Ji was so generous to Wang Shen, so Wang Shen would naturally reciprocate the favor. Once, Zhao Ji met Wang Shen in the palace. Because he forgot to bring a grate, he borrowed it from Wang Shen to comb his hair. Hand Wang Xulu to him. Wang Shen's gratings were so beautifully made that he couldn't put them down. He praised it for its originality and cuteness. Wang Shen lost no time and said: "Recently, I made two pairs of grates, one of which is not used yet. I will send someone to deliver it to you later." That night, Wang Shen sent Gao Qiu, a small official in the government, to Zhao Ji Send a colander. When Gao Qiu arrived at the mansion, Zhao Ji was watching Cuju. Zhao is good at Cuju, while Gao Qiu was an expert in Cuju on the streets in his early years and was good at this skill. Gao Qiu saw Zhao Ji playing well and cheered loudly. Zhao Ji asked Gao Qiu to kick him. Gao Qiu tried his best to play with Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji had a great time, so he asked his servant to bring a message to Wang Shen, saying that he would give the colander to the deacon who delivered it. Gao Qiu became more and more favored by Zhao Ji. Later, some servants asked Zhao Ji for payment. He actually said, "Do you have his feet?" Zhao Ji's debauchery is evident.
When he became emperor, Huizong's temperament was difficult to change. He had no interest in government affairs and continued to live a decadent life. Huizong got married at the age of 17 and married the daughter of Wang Zao, the governor of Dezhou. After he ascended the throne, Wang Ce was the queen. Queen Wang was plain in appearance, frugal by nature, and would not please Huizong. Although she is a palace maid, she cannot be favored. At this time, the lucky stars are Zheng and Wang Ergui, who were originally servants in the Queen's Palace. They are beautiful and eloquent. When he was the vassal king, every time he went to Ci Deok Palace, Zheng and Wang would accompany the Queen Mother. Both of them were cautious, good at flattery, and very popular with Huizong. After a long time, they learned that the Queen Mother gave them to Huizong after he came to the throne. Huizong got his wish and was very happy. According to records, Zheng "has been in the palace since he entered the palace. He is fond of reading, has self-control in his compositions, and the emperor loves his talent."
Obviously, Zheng is not only outstanding in appearance, but also able to help handle the throne. Therefore, I prefer Zheng. A romantic lyric poem sent to Zheng many times, and later "Forbidden Palace" became widely circulated. After the queen's death, Huizong was canonized as Empress Zheng in the first year of Zheng He. In addition to Zheng and Wang Ershi, there are also two favored concubines: Liu Guifei, Qiao Guifei and Wei Guifei. Concubine Liu was born into a poor family, but she was very beautiful. After entering the palace, she gained Zhao Ji's favor and was promoted from a talented scholar to a noble concubine. However, the good times did not last long, and she died shortly after being promoted to a noble concubine. Concubine Liu once planted several banana trees in her yard. At that time, she said: "When these plantains grow up, I'm afraid I won't be able to see them anymore." When the attendant heard this, he quickly beat Huizong, but he didn't pay attention at first. Unexpectedly, two days later, Concubine Liu became seriously ill. When Huizong went to visit, Concubine Liu had given up. Huizong was so distraught that he added the words "Ming Dynasty Literature and Art" to his posthumous title, compiled his life story into Song Huizong's handwriting, and asked the Yuefu to compose music and sing it.
Song Huizong "committed many injustices and would hang himself." He ended badly. Huizong of the Song Dynasty lived a dissolute life, was obsessed with Taoism, calligraphy and painting, and gave up great rivers and mountains to others. After being captured by the Jin people, it is said that he still did not change his poems and often recited them when he was in exile. In the Jin Dynasty, Song Huizong and his son Song Qinzong, shirtless and covered with sheepskins, knelt down to the Jin Taizu Temple. Many of Song Huizong's daughters, princesses of the Song Dynasty, did not enter the palace and became playthings on the bed, serving the rulers or nobles of the Jin Dynasty, and their endings were very tragic.
