Joo Won? has never been an official all his life, and he ended up in a cloth. But he has a family background and worships the classics of poetry and books. "If you have a library at home, you will burn incense and worship in the morning. The laughing person said,' The way of a saint is omnipresent. Dare you not worship them? ”"。 Good family background and family education make Zhou Bangyan's "good temperament" inextricably linked with lyrics and songs.
He was intelligent by nature and dabbled in "Books of a Hundred Schools of Thought" and "Book History" since childhood. The beauty of the West Lake and the surging Qiantang River always edify and wash his mind.
At the time of weak crown, Zhou Bangyan was charming and talented. "Apart from poetry and prose, he is good at calligraphy" and "Miscellaneous Notes", both masterpieces.
Young celebrities are inevitably arrogant and unruly. Therefore, they not only lingered in Goulanwa Temple, but also shared the same soul with the prostitute Yue Chuyun. Sister's lyrics, such as Flower Heart and Jade Case, are full of vulgar pornographic words such as "How thick the county is against human feelings, how light it is, how smooth it is", and even quite popular.
"Thrift, don't push for the country", it can be seen that Zhou Bangyan, who haunts the brothel Chu Pavilion in Hangzhou, is indeed a dissolute and romantic teenager.
In the second year of Song Yuanfeng (1080), good news came from Kyoto: the imperial court expanded the number of Taiwanese students from 1000 to 2,400. Entering imperial academy, taking part in scientific research and preparing for official career is the only way for scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty to become officials.
Zhou Bangyan had long been unwilling to curl up in a corner of Hangzhou and squandered his youth in a pile of powder, so he resolutely seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, bid farewell to the absurdity of youth and frivolous, bid farewell to the clouds in Qiantang, West Lake, bid farewell to the girl with beautiful voice, and was admitted to imperial academy and the capital in one fell swoop. Since then, Qiantang has lost a literary prodigal son who wrote many rich and romantic words, and the Northern Song Dynasty produced a "master" called by negative pronouns.
As a scene of the Central Plains, the capital of song dynasty has always been rich in things and outstanding in people. After more than a hundred years of painstaking efforts, the Northern Song Dynasty carved beams and painted buildings, which were beautiful and blossomed in all seasons. The full implementation of Wang Anshi's new law is even more icing on the cake, and the air in the imperial capital is filled with a vigorous new atmosphere.
Zhou Bangyan's visit to the Imperial Capital, such as the phoenix dancing for nine days, and the dragon entering the sea, "can swim in the Imperial College and have a beautiful voice". The grandeur of the capital and the grandeur of the borders always inspired his creative enthusiasm. He must sing the praises of this great era and this ancient and young city with huge sums of money.
In July of the sixth year of Yuanfeng (1083), in an essay-writing activity with the theme of "eulogizing the new law" held by the imperial court, Zhou Bangyan was full of literary thoughts and worked hard to write a 7,000-word masterpiece "Bian Du Fu", which was written in January.
The article spared no effort to praise the ancient capital's vigorous vitality after the baptism of the new law under the leadership of the wise emperor: "Dayan Song! The sooner the emperor expects, the better. And this pole, Bai Jiayu ... Jade is all over the world, and it is crowned all over the world ... "
In this essay-writing activity, "hundreds of students in Yitai Square offered their praises", but Zhou Bangyan's masterpiece was very useful to Song Shenzong. He thought that "it is desirable to be an independent scholar", so he "ordered the courtiers to read in Ying Ge Pavilion and called it to the government hall, so that every life in imperial academy was right."
Zhou Bangyan was promoted to Director of University Guidance Office (imperial academy).
Zhou Bangyan suddenly rose from a humble scholar to a middle-level leading cadre, and naturally became "famous in the world". From then on, I lived a happy life of "getting on the horse to help the disabled get drunk" and enjoyed myself with the beautiful and witty woman in "Jade House Spring", "The levee is amazing and the beauty is not enough".
Zhou Bangyan's "Bian Du Fu" is by no means a political hype by unscrupulous literati, but a song sung by a passionate young man in the burning years, and also a voice of pure phoenix that has just begun to show its edge.
Therefore, although he soared, he did not make persistent efforts to praise.
His Ci Collection Pian Yu Collection (also known as Halal Collection) is not only "concentrated without praising the saints" but also has no harmonious and rhythmic entertainment works, and always maintains the meaning of "clear circle" of literati's lofty morality and indomitable spirit. "Bian Du Fu" is full of ancient prose and strange characters, so it is difficult to understand, which makes "Zuo Cheng and Li Qingchen read from your Ying Ge" so high and low that it can only be "biased but not fully aware", which shows that he is "versatile".
In the field of popular lyrics, he is also a highly sought-after brother: "Take Yuefu alone. Noble people, bachelors, townspeople and maids all know that beauty is lovely. " The soaring popularity did not bring the corresponding official position, but gave people a handle and kept complaining, so that they stood still in the leadership position for five consecutive years. However, he still enjoys it and is not enterprising politically. He is obsessed with the study of poetry and songs: "If you live at the age of five, you must try your best to write poetry."
Zhou Bangyan, who was proud of the spring breeze, never forgot his old feelings and returned to Hangzhou to look for Yue Chuyun. But Qiantang is hard to find, and West Lake is nowhere to be found. It turned out that Yue Chuyun had been an official prostitute for five years according to the Song Dynasty and was married away.
Zhou Bangyan was disheartened. A few days later, he cheered up and went to the welcome banquet prepared for him by Hangzhou government.
Wine is worrying, and sorrow is more worrying. Suddenly, the singer sang impromptu: "The clouds are lonely and scattered, and the pavilions in spring are bleak." This is Zhou Bangyan and Yue Chuyun's tears for her "youth journey". He raised his eyes and studied the singer, smiling like Yue Chuyun. Ask carefully, just for Sister Yue Chuyun.
Deeply moved, Zhou Bangyan took advantage of drunkenness to write the famous "Song of Crimson Lips" and poured out his unforgettable thoughts and love for his lover. It is extremely rare for a person like Zhou Bangyan, who often "wins the reputation of a brothel", to have such sincere works.
