*** Chen Ziang, a master of poetry, was admitted to Jinshi at the age of 24. With the extraordinary ambition of "better to be a centurion than a scholar", Wu Zetian promoted him to Lintai Zhengzi. After he took office, he dared to speak out and remonstrated, but most of what he said was harmful to the situation. As a result, he was framed by a traitor and was demoted. He ended up in a state of "how could his love be achieved when his years were gone", and was finally killed by Duan Jian in prison. The full of literary talent and ambition disappeared with it, and an unfinished dream was buried in the thick soil.
There is also the Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty. During his 15 years in power, he neglected political affairs and indulged in pleasure. After being captured, he began to feel the pain of subjugating his country, so he chose to "dream." His dream was very innocent. He imagined that the "carved railings and jade masonry of the later Tang Dynasty should still be there", but when he realized that "spring is gone" and the former palace has long been "beautifully changed", this dream suddenly disappeared. Come to an end. Later, he composed a poem called "Lang Tao Sha", and wrote in the poem: "I didn't know that I was a guest in my dream, and I was greedy for pleasure." This shows how pathetic and pitiful he was at that time, even the moment of pleasure stolen in his dream was greedy. . But the emperor is an emperor after all, so how can he be satisfied with just one dream, so he continued to write lyrics, dream, and live as a slave to the subjugated country! Unfortunately, he was discovered by Song Taizong when he was having fun in Cidi on the Chinese Valentine's Day and the original manuscript of "Poppy Poppies" was searched. Poison to death with trigger medicine. From then on, another superstar fell into the boundless black hole in the world of ancient Chinese poetry, and his dream was over.
The ancients loved to dream. Some people dream for themselves, some people dream for others, and some people dream for their country. In my opinion, dreaming for yourself is the most realistic, and it doesn't mean selfish. Legend has it that the sage Confucius once dreamed that he was sitting between two pillars and being worshiped by others. Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty once left a poem when he paid homage to Confucius: "Looking at the two couplets to pay homage today, it should be the same as in the dream."
The representative of dreaming for others is Du Fu. When he was demoted to Huazhou, it was during the "An-Shi Rebellion", and he did not grieve for himself first. When he saw the suffering caused by the war to the people, he made "three officials" and "three farewells", expressing the aspirations of the people. Later, he went into exile in Chengdu and built a thatched cottage with the help of friends. After "thatched hut was destroyed by the autumn wind", he did not first dream of owning a house, but thought of "thousands of mansions, which would shelter all the poor people in the world and make them happy". Such thoughts and courage are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
When it comes to dreaming for the country, it has to be Fang Weng. Although he was "lying in a lonely village" in his seventies, he still had great ambitions. In his dream, he still thought about fighting on the front line of the "Iron Horse Glacier". His desire to regain the lost ground was vivid on the paper. Unfortunately, he did not wait until the day of "Northern Ding Central Plains". The good news died with hatred.
Although these five dreams are different, they are all more or less tragic. Perhaps it is precisely because of these tragedies that masters have become masters. They have written masterpieces for generations to come, and their dreams have therefore been permanently embedded in the time and space of history.
***Confucius dreamed of a unified world, Zhuangzi dreamed of Kunpeng spreading its wings for ninety thousand miles, Li Bai dreamed of "an immortal caressing my head, tying my hair and receiving immortality", and Du Fu dreamed of "being able to live in thousands of mansions and be sheltered by the great The poor people in the world are all happy, and the wind and rain are as peaceful as the mountains." Su Dongpo dreamed, "I hope that people will live long, and thousands of miles will bring beauty to the moon." All the loving people in the world have become dependents." Cao Xueqin dreamed that "if it's good, then it's good"...
1. Ruan Ji, courtesy name Si Zong, his father Ruan Yu was one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an" one. Ruan Ji lost his father when he was three years old and was raised by his widowed mother. His family was not rich, but he studied hard, had a wide range of interests, was well-read, and was versatile. He studied Confucian classics and also loved to read Lao Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang. He also learned the martial arts of stabbing, could whistle, was good at playing the piano, and also liked drinking. It is said that when his mother passed away, Ruan Ji was playing chess with someone. His opponent wanted to stop, but he insisted on finishing the game, seemingly indifferent. But after playing chess, he drank a lot, cried a lot, vomited several liters of blood, and his inner grief could no longer be suppressed. "Shishuo Xinyu 6.4 Ren Dan Chapter" records: "Ruan Ji buried his mother, steamed a fat pig, drank two cups of wine, and then he said bluntly: 'I am poor!' After a long pause, Ruan Ji buried his mother and drank and ate meat as usual, which was considered unfilial. But when he burst into tears and vomited blood, how many so-called true filial sons in the world could do this? Ji Kang, whose courtesy name was Shu Ye, was not only familiar with ancient classics, but also had profound knowledge in various aspects of culture and art.

He is also good at calligraphy, and because he is better than cursive calligraphy, his ink marks are listed as "wonderful cursive calligraphy".
As for his magnificent diction and good writing skills, he was widely praised and considered a "wonder". Both Ruan Ji and Ji Kang retired to the mountains and forests to avoid being implicated in the political struggle between Cao Wei and the Sima clan. They were both representatives of celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and representatives of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove". However, Ruan Ji adopted the attitude of being an official and reclusive. Ji Kang's attitude was harmful to his whole body, but Ji Kang was unyielding and offended the powerful. He was imprisoned for his friend Lu An's affair and died unjustly. The former escapes from reality, while the latter lives completely in reality. Both leave people with infinite regret and are unable to realize the realm of life that dances between dreams and reality. This discusses the relationship between the two from the opposite side. , has a strong shocking power.

Although he lives in a hypocritical, selfish and indifferent city, he is obsessed with the beauty of human nature. He said: "This world may be in the desert." I am not the one who builds a tower on the ground or on the water. I just want to build a small Greek temple. I choose a small ground as the foundation and build it with hard stones. It is exquisite, strong and symmetrical, and the shape is small but not delicate. It is my ideal building. This temple is dedicated to "human nature" ("Preface to Selected Works"). Shen Congwen's creative style tends to be romantic. He requires the poetic effect of the novel to integrate realism, dream recording, and symbolism, and the language style is simple.
