Song Dynasty: Jiang Kui
Why did the cloth bow to the maharaja and return to the reed root to roll soft and red?
Realizing that there was nothing wrong with this heart, the little fish jumped out of the green duckweed.
I am a civilian, and I don't need to bow to princes and nobles. I want to see the floating reeds by the lake and enjoy the charming red lotus. I thought nothing bothered me. I saw a small fish jumping out of the water among the layers of green duckweeds by the lake.
About the author:
Jiang Kui was a writer and musician in the Southern Song Dynasty. Beautiful personality, beautiful posture as jade, if the posture of gas is overwhelming, like a fairy. He wandered between Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and made friends with poets and poets such as Yang Wanli, Fan Chengda and Xin Qiji.
In the middle of Qingyuan, he wrote a letter begging Zheng Taichang for elegant music. Lonely and poor as a teenager, I tried many times and was unemployed all my life. He traveled all his life, selling words and helping friends for a living. He is versatile, proficient in temperament, able to compose his own music, and clear pronunciation and mellow voice. His works, such as the songs of Taoist white stone, are famous for their ethereal implication.
Jiang Kui is good at poetry, prose, calligraphy and music, and is another rare artistic all-rounder after Su Shi.
Extended data:
There was a love affair in Jiang Kui's life, which was unforgettable. Living in Hefei in my early years, I met two sisters who are good at playing pipa. Since then, he has formed an indissoluble bond with one of them. But because Baishi can't be self-sufficient, he has to run around and eat, and he can't be together forever.
In Jiang Baishi's poems, there are only three quatrains of "sending Van Boehner to Hefei", but in his poems, there are as many as 22 poems related to this situation, accounting for a quarter of all his poems, which shows that he is unforgettable.
Predecessors often blame them for their inexperience, and Wang Guowei even made a mockery of "White Stone is dignified and heartless". But in fact, Baishi's expertise in emotion is comparable to that of Lu You among the literati in the Song Dynasty. This also makes his ci have extremely touching quality, as Mr. Xia said, "it is the most prominent love story in Tang and Song Dynasties".
