Who is Sadura?
Who is Sadura? Judging from the name, Sadura is a minority. After understanding the introduction of Sadura, you can know who Sadura is. In the books and materials recording poets of the Yuan Dynasty, Sadura's poetic works and who Sadura was are mentioned. Sadura was born in 1272 AD and died in 1355 AD at the age of 83.
Sadura’s family was poor in his early years, but Sadura was smart and sensitive, and his literary qualifications were different from ordinary people. In 1327 AD, Sadura passed the Jinshi examination, and in July of the following year, he took up the post of Daru Huachi, the recordkeeper of Zhenjiang Road. In 1331 AD, Sadura was transferred to the Jiangnan area and served as the censor of Jiangnan. During his tenure, Sadura traveled to Wuchu, Jingchu, Youyan, Shangdu and other places, and made friends with famous scholars such as Zhang Yu and Ma Jiugao. Throughout Sadura's official career, he successively served as a censor in Jiangnan Province and as a censor in Huaibei Province. In his later years, Sadura lived in Hangzhou.
Sadura was proficient in calligraphy and painting. Because of his high talent, the world called him the talented scholar of Yanmen. Sadura's literary creation is mainly based on poetry. Most of the contents of the poetry are mainly about living in seclusion, traveling around mountains and rivers, and giving rewards and gifts. Although the ideological value of Sadura's poetry is not very high, his poetry is quite artistic. This is also a major reason why people in the Yuan Dynasty loved reading Sadura's works aloud. It is worth mentioning that Sadura had a very high talent for painting. Paintings such as "Yanling Diaotai" and "Plum Blossom" are Sadura's representative works. Today, these two works are collected by the Palace Museum in Beijing. The Sadura Nationality
There has always been controversy about the Sadura Nationality. One says that the Sadura ethnic group is Mongolian, and the other says that Sadura are Hui people. The historical materials recording Sadura's life experience do not clearly indicate which ethnic minority Sadura belonged to. All we know is that Sadura's ancestors were from the Western Regions. His ancestor Silan Buhua and his grandfather Alu Chishi started their careers with physical strength and made many meritorious deeds. Shizu and Yingzu appointed Sadura's grandfather as the Zhanjieyue and asked them to guard Zhenyun.
Later, Sadura’s parents came to settle in Dai County, Shanxi Province, so Sadura was a native of Dai County, Shanxi Province. Some people say that Sadura is not a Hui, but a Mongolian. Most of Sadura's poems describe the endless beautiful scenery of the desert. It is precisely because Sadura has different emotions towards the frontier that he can write about the magnificent desert landscape. As we all know, deserts and grasslands are places where the Mongolian people live and rest. Then, from the scenery and features described in Sadura's poems, we can guess that Sadura is a Mongolian. In fact, this statement has not been confirmed.
There are many scholars who study Sadura’s poetic works and artistic characteristics of poetry, but scholars who study the Sadura nation are rarely mentioned. The books and materials that record the introduction and life experiences of Sadura do not mention which ethnic group Sadura belongs to, so we have no way of knowing about the Sadura ethnic group. Whether it is Sadura's frontier poems or Sadura's landscape poems, most of them describe the different landscapes north and south of the Yangtze River in delicate language. From Sadura's poetry, we can see Sadura's love for life and yearning for freedom. Sadura’s poetry works
Sadura’s poetry works have very high literary and aesthetic value. Sadura left nearly 800 poems and poems to future generations in his lifetime. Some describe landscapes and scenery, and some depict the court life of palace people. In addition, there are also a certain number of poems that nostalgize the past and lament the present. No matter from which aspect, Sadura's poetry works enriched the literary history of the Yuan Dynasty and even the entire China. Therefore, Sadura occupies an important place in the history of Chinese literature.
"Send Off Marshal Guan to the Southern Expedition", "Send Off Liu Zhaomo to Guilin", "Datong Station", "Moonlight Night on the Yellow River", "Ballad of the Winding Girl", etc. are all representative works of Sadura's poetry. Sadura's poetry not only exposed the decadent dark side of Yuan Dynasty society, but also revealed the class contradictions in Yuan Dynasty society. In poems such as "Moonlight Night on the Yellow River" and "Picture of the Weaver Girl", Sadura reflected the hardships of life of the lower class working people. Through strong contrast, Sadura used pungent language to directly point to the corruption and incompetence of the supreme ruler. In terms of poetic techniques, Sadura not only inherited the poetic artistic techniques of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, but also proposed new artistic techniques.
Sadura’s poetic works usually use sparse and ordinary life fragments as the entry point, and then reconstruct the poetic artistic conception with long lasting charm through objective reproduction of the scenes. For example, poetic works such as "Autumn Poems" and "The Beginning of Spring in the Capital" are all manifestations of Sadura's "unity of poetry and painting". In addition, Sadura is good at using concise and concise language to deeply express the thoughts and philosophies contained in his poetic works. For example, "The scenery of the ages is white at the temples, and the mountains of the Six Dynasties are green with horse heads" reflects Sadura's concise and concise language characteristics.
