"Zhang Haohao's Poems" is the only calligraphy work handed down from generation to generation by the poet Du Mu in the late Tang Dynasty. In the poem, Zhang Haohao is an official prostitute.
Du Mu once ridiculed himself that "I have dreamed of Yangzhou for ten years and won the reputation of being a brothel." There are many figures of brothel women in his poems, and there are two poems specifically about singing girls: "Du Qiuniang's Poems" and "Du Qiuniang's Poems" Zhang Haohao's Poems".
Du Mu was born into a distinguished family. He wrote "Ode to Afang Palace" at the age of 23, and became a hero. At the age of 26, he passed the imperial examination and was successful as a young man. Half a year later, he joined the Jiangxi Province to observe the envoy Shen Chuanshi. The following year, 13-year-old Zhang Haohao was admitted to the official music register by Master Shen, and Du Mu and Zhang Haohao met for the first time. Later, Master Shen was transferred to Xuanshe as the observation envoy, and Du Mu and Zhang Haohao followed him to Xuanzhou. Two years later, Zhang Haohao was taken as a concubine by Shen Chuanshi's younger brother Shen Shushi. The following year, Du Mu was transferred to the Huainan Jiedushi Niu Sengru shogunate. Two years later, Du Mu went to Luoyang due to a change in official position. He unexpectedly met Zhang Haohao, who was selling alcohol on the streets of Luoyang for a living. By then, Hao Hao was an abandoned woman with no return.
Within a few years, Zhang Haohao first showed his singing voice and joined the music industry; then he gradually matured and became more beautiful; then he was re-employed and favored, and he was alone in the moon; and soon he fell into the world. , buy wine at night. No one can be overwhelmed with emotion at such a changing life situation!
What's more, it is said that the romantic poet and the charming singer fell in love with each other and fell in love with each other. It is said that after Zhang Haohao got married, he gave a poem to Du Mu: "The lonely lamp and the waning moon accompany melancholy, and there are several sadness and autumns. How can there be sorrow to repay the old covenant? From now on, I will thank you for your love." It is said that after Du Mu died of depression in Chang'an, Zhang Haohao Hearing this, he was so sad that he committed suicide in front of Du Mu's tomb.
The love between the poet and the geisha has no historical records, only legends. However, judging from the reunion of the two men in Luoyang described in Du Mu's poem, the poet mourned for Haohao Menguan until tears ran down his cheeks, while Zhang Haohao blamed the poet for why he had to suffer for himself, and felt sorry for the poet's young white beard. This shows that the legend must have its true side.
A sad and sad poem, a piece of writing that has been passed down through the ages, has made countless people copy it. I also practiced it once.
I read Du Mu's "Zhang Haohao's Poems"
Attachment: Zhang Haohao's poems and preface
In the third year of Mu Taihe, he assisted the old official Shen Gong Jiangxi curtain. On the thirteenth day of the good year, I began to enjoy myself with good songs. One year later, he moved to the town of Xuancheng and restored his residence to Xuancheng. When he was two years old, he became Shen's writing teacher and accepted him with his two servant girls. When I was two years old, I met Hao Hao again in the east city of Luoyang. I felt sad about the past, so I wrote a poem for him.
You are Yu Zhangshu, who is more than thirteen years old. The green phoenix has a tail, and the red-leaf lotus has a tarsus. The high pavilion leans half towards the sky, and the Zhangjiang couplet is blue and empty. This place is a test for you to sing, and the special envoy is Hua Yanpu. The owner looked around at the four seats and hesitated in surprise. Wu Wa raised her head to praise her, and she hung low to reflect her long skirt. The two servant girls can be high and low, and they have only passed Qingluo Ru. Panpan drooped her sleeves and let out a cry of a young phoenix. The complicated strings burst out of the key points, and the cork tubes cracked the round reeds. All the sounds cannot be chased away, they wander through the clouds. The master sighed again and again, saying that the world is different. A gift of Tianma brocade and a water rhinoceros comb. Watch the autumn waves in Longsha, and visit Zhuhu Lake in the bright moon. Since then, every time we see each other, we have been apart for three days. The quality of jade becomes fuller with the moon, and its beauty becomes more beautiful with spring. The crimson lips become lighter and lighter, and the cloud steps turn slowly. The jingzhao suddenly went down east, and the music and songs followed the boat. The frost has withered the trees in the building, and the sand is warm and the cattails in the stream are warm. There is dust outside the body, but there is great joy in front of the bottle. Piaoran gathers fairy guests, satirizing Fu and deceiving each other. He was hired to wear a Baguio pendant and carried it in a Ziyun carriage. The sound of the water is far away when the cave is closed, and the shadow of the toad is lonely when the moon is high. Not long after you came, all Gaoyang disciples were scattered. We met again in Luocheng, and Wuwei became Danglong. Why do you blame me for suffering? The young man has a white beard. Whether my friends are here today or not, I can't help but stay away from them. After weeping in the gate hall, the water clouds and autumn scenery begin. The declining willows hang in the setting sun, and the cool breeze blows in the corner. She shed all her tears, sang short songs and talked about a book.
