2 1 year-old Jinshi is an important member of Yongzhen innovation. If a teenager succeeds, his future should be bright. However, fate and rachel played a big joke. Emperor Tang Shunzong, who was very optimistic about him, was a disabled emperor, unable to speak, and was forced to give way to the prince after a year in the upper position. After Tang Xianzong came to power, he tried to suppress the minions of the former emperors, and eight people, including Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan, were banished from Beijing. These eight people are also called "Eight Sima".
Ten years later, Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were recalled to Beijing, thinking that they would be entrusted with reuse. However, Liu Yuxi wrote the poem "Looking at Peach Blossoms in Du Xuan", which offended those in power and was demoted again. This is not the only time that Liu Yuxi has been demoted for poetry. After the famous "Humble Room Inscription" was written, the authorities thought that Liu Yuxi had a good life, so he was demoted to a more remote and difficult place.
However, rachel is a person with a good attitude. He is not always unhappy because of his bad career. He always relaxes himself in his own way and creates one masterpiece after another.
Then let's take a look at this song "Du Xuan Watching Peach Blossoms".
There is also a name for this poem, which is "Yuanhe ten years from Langzhou to Beijing Opera to present flowers to gentlemen", and this title explains the whole thing.
Du Xuan Temple is a Taoist temple, located to the west of Suzaku Bridge in Chang 'an. Liu Yuxi's two poems made the concept of Du Xuan more famous. Even today, there are still endless tourists.
At that time, Du Xuan Temple was also full of tourists, because Du Xuan Temple was full of peach blossoms, and tourists rushed to watch it. In the first two sentences of the poem, "When the world is full of flowers, everyone looks at the back of flowers." Described the scene at that time: there were many people watching flowers, and the road was busy and dusty. "There is nothing anyone can do" expresses people's satisfaction and happiness after enjoying flowers.
The first two sentences of the poem seem to be a lively scene in which Chang 'an people are scrambling to enjoy flowers. However, after careful reading, it is found that Liu Yuxi did not write about how beautiful the peach blossoms in Du Xuan Guanli are. Why does anyone want to see them? Liu Yuxi did not answer directly, but wrote the last two sentences of the poem to Hua himself. Many peach trees were planted in Du Xuan Guanli, which were planted after I left. In modern terms, after reading the last two sentences, I feel particularly sour. Liu Lang refers to Liu Yuxi himself, of course, so why did he send out such feelings?
This poem was written in 8 16 AD, and Liu Yuxi returned to Chang 'an after ten years in exile. Liu Yuxi was demoted to Yuanzhou because the upstarts rejected him. Ten years of life experience made Liu Yuxi see through these powerful people who gained power because of the new emperor's accession to the throne. The word "purple" in the first sentence of the poem is the color of the emperor, which means imperial power. The peach blossoms in Xuandu, like these new people who came to power, came to power after leaving Chang 'an. Liu Yuxi's disdain and contempt are full of "Liu Lang later planted it". In the poem, people who go to Du Xuan to enjoy flowers are all opportunistic, flattering and trying to climb higher branches in Liu Yuxi's eyes. They run between various powers for fame and wealth, just like people who join in the fun and watch flowers in the world of mortals. Liu Yuxi wrote this satirical poem while enjoying flowers in Du Xuan, which is a satire on the powerful people who gained new power after Emperor Yongzhen's reform.
Liu Yuxi doesn't like those in power. He uses the most pungent language and the most pungent irony to vent his anger on those in power. Of course, those in power were furious after reading it, and "the language involved sarcasm", once again demoted Liu Yuxi as the secretariat of Bozhou, and Liu Yuxi once again began his political career of wandering overseas.
Of course, the story of Liu Yuxi and Xuan Duguan did not end here. Many years later, Liu Yuxi came here again, leaving a more famous poem "revisiting Xuandu Pass". Let's talk about this poem in the next issue.
