As the saying goes, few friends are good. For Nalan Xingde, Gu Zhenguan is his lifelong confidant. Speaking of Nalan Xingde and the days of friendship in Gu Zhenguan, we have to start with their first meeting. In the 15th year of Kangxi, Gu Zhenguan, who had no talent, met Nalan Rong Ruo in anger. On one occasion, Nalan Rong Ruo read Gu Zhenguan's "Golden Melody", as if his disappointment was swept away, leaving only joy and happiness in his heart. Gu Zhenguan saw that Nalan Rong Ruo was humble and polite, and he had great respect for Nalan Rong Ruo in his heart.

Nalan Rong Ruo and Gu Zhenguan are identical in character and poetic pursuit. At that time, in the eyes of the world, writing was a leisurely and boring pastime, and it was difficult to be elegant. However, Nalan Xingde and Gu Zhenguan have the same view and pursuit of Ci. They often talk about poetry and songs together, and their hearts are infinitely carefree. In Gu Zhenguan's eyes, Nalan Xingde was born well, brilliant and successful, as if he were the least successful person. Knowing his friend's resentment, Nalan Xingde specially wrote a "Golden Melody" for Gu Zhenguan, telling him not to care about things outside his body, but to dare to cater to his own sincerity.

Later, Gu Zhenguan's mother died, and Gu Zhenguan had to leave Beijing. Nalanxingde reluctantly said goodbye to his friends. 1685, Nalan Xingde died at the age of 30. The year after Nalanxingde's death, Gu Zhenguan returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. In the memory of friends, Gu Zhenguan compiled the manuscripts written by Nalan Xingde into a book "The Collection of Side Hats", which has been handed down to this day.

Yannalan people

Throughout the history of China, except for a few poets who are superior to others, most of them can find similar people to compare. What I want to talk about here is Yan and Nalan. Their deep affection and "infatuation" are integrated into their poems, which is touching.

Although one was in the Song Dynasty and the other was in the Qing Dynasty, the time difference was hundreds of years, but their life experiences and temperament experiences were more or less similar. Both of them are sons of prime ministers, who have a glorious life and the same personality. Such similar characters also make their poems more sincere and touching. Yan is the son of Yan Shu. It can be said that many ministers at that time were promoted by Yan Shu. However, after his father died, he felt the indifference of the world, and his carefree life in the past could not be redeemed. Therefore, his poems are sad and touching, strong and touching. However, Nalan Rong Ruo's love was not smooth, and his early first love was abruptly broken up. Later, the death of his beloved wife Lu dealt a great blow to his feelings, which made him regard fame and fortune as his ambition, concentrate on poetry creation and express his infatuation.

However, these two people are different. Yan's life has experienced a process from prosperity to decline. The changes in his family made him almost penniless in his later years, which deepened his memories of the good old life. Therefore, most of his poems focus on memories, showing the past to reflect the reality of poverty, while Nalan Rong Ruo is more in the sadness of reality, deducing the memories of the past and expressing his own grief and life experience.

Li Yu and Nalan Rong Ruo

Li Yu and Nalan Rong Ruo are often compared by the world. The reason is that their ci style and life experience are quite similar. Liang Qichao once said: "Rong Ruo's small words catch up with pear and bamboo", which affirmed the similarity of their ci styles. Li Yu lived in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Nalan Rong Ruo lived in the Qing Dynasty. There is a difference of more than 700 years between them, but their ci works are timeless and become a model for later generations.

Portrait of Li Yu

From the identity point of view, Li Yu is the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Nalan Rong Ruo is the son of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, with an extremely prominent position. The imprisonment brought by identity makes them long for a free and secluded life. In addition, the poems of Li Yu and Nalan Rong Ruo all reveal a lot of sadness. As far as Li Yu's later ci works are concerned, after experiencing the pain of national subjugation, Li Yu's ci style tends to be depressed and introverted, which is completely different from his early ci works. Nalan Rong Ruo's pain of losing his wife became the dividing line of his ci style. Nalan Rong Ruo, who experienced pain, expressed his thoughts about his dead wife in simple language. His words were straightforward and expressed the poet's complicated inner state. It is precisely because they have their own pain that they can vividly express and portray their feelings. Nalan Rong Ruo and Li Yu's later poems are graceful and euphemistic, expressing the softest feelings in the hearts of the world, so they became famous poets in history.

They grew up in different environments, so their early lyrics were very different. Li Yu lived in the palace since childhood, facing the imperial secretary day and night. Therefore, Li Yu's early ci style was gorgeous, with the description of love between men and women and court life as the main content. For example, Li Yu once wrote that "the red sun in Huanxisha is three feet high" to describe the grand occasion of the palace dance banquet. Nalan Rong Ruo's early works, including his own ideals and ambitions, have a dignified writing style, showing his desire to make contributions, such as A Wandering Son Hunting in the Autumn Suburb.

Kangxi Nalan Rong Ruo

Kangxi and Nalan Rong Ruo were not only emperors, but also famous literati in Qing Dynasty. They are not only literate, but also knowledgeable. When it comes to the relationship between Kangxi and Nalan Rong Ruo, there are indeed some debatable places. Emperor Kangxi was born in 1664 and Nalan Rong Ruo was born in 1665. From the age point of view, Kangxi and Nalan Rong Ruo are about the same age, which can be called peers.

Kangxi Nalan Rong Ruo

In addition, Nalan, Rong Ruo and Kangxi all have noble blood. Needless to say, Emperor Kangxi was the heir of the Aisingiorro family and the fourth ruler of the Qing Dynasty. If Nalan Jung is a descendant of Yenara, his father Nalan Mingzhu is an important official of North Korea. In terms of talents, Kangxi and Nalan Rong Ruo are both generalists who are both civil and military, and they are both keen on Chinese culture. If discussed by blood, Kangxi and Nalan Rong Ruo are still close relatives. Nalan Rong Ruo's mother is a descendant of Aisingiorro, while Nalan Rong Ruo's great-grandfather Jin Taiji is Baylor of Yenala, while Jin Taiji's sister is Meng Guge, who married Nurhachi and gave birth to Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty. So Nalan Rong Ruo and Kangxi are close relatives.

Secondly, Kangxi and Nalan Rong Ruo had a relationship of monarch and minister. Nalan Rong Ruo took the imperial examination at the age of 22, and won the Jinshi in one fell swoop. Later, Emperor Kangxi appreciated Nalan Rong Ruo's talent and appointed Nalan Rong Ruo as the first-class bodyguard. Since then, Nalan Rong Ruo has accompanied Emperor Kangxi on many tours and ordered him to inspect the situation in Russia and other places. In private, Kangxi and Nalan Rong are like-minded friends. Both of them are accomplished in calligraphy and poetry, so they often discuss literary knowledge together.

Throughout Kangxi and Nalan Rong Ruo, they have many similarities.

Nalanxingde evaluation

When it comes to Nalan Xingde, the first thing to mention is Nalan Ci. In the analysis of Nalan's ci, the world also felt the personal charm of Nalan's virtue. So, what is the world's evaluation of Nalan Xingde? To say the evaluation of Nalan Xingde by later generations, we have to mention Nalan Xingde's life experience.

First of all, Nalan Xingde is a very learned person. Nalanxingde is a descendant of Yenala, but Nalanxingde has no Manchu flavor. Nalan Xingde likes poetry and songs, and likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Nalan Xingde devoted himself to literature and poetry, leaving many well-known masterpieces. In calligraphy, Nalan Xingde has also made great achievements.

Secondly, Nalan Xingde is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune and pursues his true heart. Nalanxingde was born in a prominent place, and Nalanxingde, who was both civil and military, was highly valued by Emperor Kangxi. However, Nalan Xingde was in no hurry to pursue fame and gain in court life. He longs for freedom and lives a plain and free life all his life. In Nalan Xingde's poems, images of water and lotus flowers are widely used to express Nalan Xingde's emotional sustenance. As the saying goes, "goodness is like water". In the ancient culture of China, water was regarded as a symbol of morality, while lotus was the embodiment of nobility and tranquility.

Third, Nalan Xingde is an infatuated person. There are more than 300 poems in Nalan Xingde's life, and the decisive part is about love, friendship and scenery. Nalan Xingde married Lushi, Guanshi, Yanshi and Shenwan successively. After the death of his wife, Lu Shi, Nalan Xingde was in great pain and made a eulogy for Lu Shi many times to show his feelings for Lu Shi.

There are many aspects for later generations to evaluate Nalan Xingde, most of which are based on Nalan Ci, from which we can understand Nalan Xingde's temperament.
