Portrait of Yang Shen
It starts with his father, Yang Tinghe, and Yang Tinghe is regarded as an important official in Zhu Houzhao. According to this train of thought, the official second generation of Yang Shen, a central official, has a bright career. It's a pity that although Yang Shen was very talented, he was admitted to the top scholar, but you should know that once every emperor changed his courtiers, the world would be different. As soon as the emperor came to power, Yang Tinghe started to make trouble, because Zhu Hou wanted his father to be the first emperor. Yang Tinghe insisted that only the emperor recognized his uncle as his father, and never let Zhu Houzhi's father become the first emperor, which was not in line with etiquette. Although Zhu Hou is only a teenager, he is very filial and persistent. Yang Tinghe is a cow and a minister, and Zhu Hou won't budge. Yang Tinghe resigned in a rage to educate his son Yang Shen.
Because Gui Calyx and Zhang Cong always supported the emperor in the matter of establishing his father as the first emperor, so the apprentice and the emperor promoted them together with Yang Shen, and Yang Shen was unhappy. He simply looked down on these two men and wrote to them to fuck off. The emperor has been very reluctant to talk to Yang Shen from here, and Yang Tinghe didn't leave a good impression when he left. Now that he's gone, you're making trouble here. Then Yang Shen led a group of ministers to cry at the palace gate, thinking that the emperor could not let his father be the first emperor, which was not in line with the ancestral family style. So the emperor got angry and ordered them all to be locked up and pulled out in a few days to see if you were unlucky. As a result, some of them were killed. Yang Shen in good health, not dead, exiled. From then on, he never had a chance to return to the court. After a while, Zhu Hou will ask, what happened to Yang Shen?
Yang Shen is very talented and persistent, but from the moment his father offended the emperor, he continued to go that way, which was doomed to be a point of no return, so his fate of exile in this life may have been doomed from now on.
Linjiang Xian Yang Shen "Linjiang Xian? Rolling the Yangtze River eastward is the opening word of the third paragraph of On Qin and Han Dynasties written by Yang Shen. It is well known by many people, but there is a version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms that uses this word as the theme song.
Linjiang xianzi's calligraphy works
"The Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves are heroes. Whether it is right and wrong or failure, it is empty now and has disappeared with the passage of time. Castle Peak still exists, the sun still rises and the sunset still sets. The white-haired hermit by the river has long been used to the changes of time. I met an old friend and had a drink. Many things in ancient and modern times are jokes. " How many lives can one word describe? I think the phrase "success or failure of right and wrong is empty" is probably the best description of Yang Shen's life. He is a top scholar diploma and a court official. Once exiled, he never returned to North Korea, and his political ambition failed. When Yang Shen wrote this poem, he probably already figured it out and understood it. He no longer expected to return to the court he longed for. He began to like white clouds, blue sky, sunset and having a drink with friends.
Yang Shen has been able to indulge in landscape at this time. His life is really the feeling that it has ended before it has started. He was depressed for a long time, and finally realized that in the long history, anyone and anything will soon be disillusioned, so don't care too much. Eating and drinking is king. He can talk about the past and the present easily, and can no longer bear too many political ambitions. He is considered to have let himself go. He was very tired and was tossed into this state by the emperor. His career is hopeless. At this moment, he may understand, so at least he should be happy and not decadent all his life. He can finally, "how many things, ancient and modern, pay a joke", is no longer an impassioned Yang Shen.
Putting down what should be put down may be a decision made by Yang Shen from here.
Yang Shen's poem Yang Shen, written as ancient battlefield literature at the age of twelve, is a young talent. After all the way to the top, the spring breeze is proud and the career is successful.
Yang Shen's Zhi Zhu Ci
Later, because of the "Grand Ceremony" incident, Yang Shen ruined his short political career and began his career in exile in Yunnan. His wife Huang E sent him to Jiangling, and his "Ling Gang Parting" showed a sadness of parting. Later, "Stay in Jinsha River" describes the feelings on the way back and forth between Sichuan and Yunnan. "I don't want to drift away from the sea. Jialing looks back and the moonlight on the river can be said to be heartbroken." Describe the depth of his sorrow, after all, is in exile, after all, is far from home. He also wrote poems about people's sufferings, such as "A trip to Haikou" and "A trip to Houhaikou", which exposed the behavior of landlords colluding with local officials to seize land. It's just that Yang Shen could only express his anger in poetry at that time, and there was nothing he could do. Later, Yang Shen got used to it in Yunnan and began to write about scenery. After all, the beauty of the south of the colorful clouds is indelible. "Sea Popular" "Cangshan Gorge is the Canghekou, and the sky beam is broken and the thunder roar. There is a constant wind in it, passing through the moving forest and sand. It doesn't matter if the cliff is close at hand, Ma Changke is low. " Describe Cangshan; "Longguan Pavilion" "Double smoke waves are like five pounds, and fishing lights are sparkling." Describe Erhai Lake.
Perhaps because of the hopeless career, he achieved his literary achievements, and he wrote the most in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Shen has his own style. The first seven scholars advocated that "literature must be in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and poetry must flourish in the Tang Dynasty", but he did not agree. His poems widely absorbed the strengths of the poems of the Six Dynasties and the early Tang Dynasty and formed his unique "graceful and restrained" style. Therefore, although his official career is bumpy, he is unique in poetry.
Appreciation of Yang Shen's Calligraphy Works Yang Shen, despite his bumpy career, has made great achievements in literary painting and calligraphy, and is worthy of the title of No.1 scholar.
Many of Yang Shen's calligraphy works are not recorded, even in the collection of Dengshan Temple, there are many records missing. But when he was exiled, what he could record was definitely incomplete. It is also because his achievements in poetry have covered up his calligraphy works, so few have been preserved. The most popular are two poems by Quan, the four-legged Song and the Xiaoxiang bamboo stone tile on the east slope.
Yang Shen's Calligraphy Works of Two Springs
The first poem "Two Springs" mainly describes the scenery, and the last two sentences "My hometown is thousands of miles away, and autumn scenery may be the same" express Yang Shen's homesickness. He was exiled, and the scenery here was so good that he suddenly remembered his hometown. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't compare with going back to my hometown. Yang Shen's other works are also collected by Taipei Museum. For example, The Poem Page of Judge Yang's Crying in the Taishi Tomb of Chaojing Lake, a calligraphy work, is used in formal occasions, so the words used by Yang Shen here are very different from those used in official documents. In these two poems, Yang Shen lamented that time flies, flowers are similar year after year, and people are different year after year. China Art Museum also has Yang Shen's "Xiaoxiang Bamboo Stone Map on Dongpo", which is a cursive script. He was old when he wrote this word, so the words in this article are not so vigorous. Generally speaking, his calligraphy is not as good as his poetry, so almost everyone doesn't like this great writer's calligraphy, but his calligraphy also has his indifference, randomness and eclecticism.
Yang Shen Four-legged Song Online Auction Preview It is said that this four-legged song was written by Zhao Meng in Yuan Dynasty, and the existing rubbings are attached with tablets, which were also written by Xia Tonghe in Qing Dynasty. Basically, their works are similar.
The Extension of Yang Shen's Four-legged Song
At present, there are four-legged songs written by Yang Shen in the market auction. Yang Shen wrote these four-legged songs at that time, indicating that he had stabilized his mind at that time. This song says from beginning to end that people should be satisfied, and they don't need gorgeous houses, delicious food, beautiful women and smart sons, as long as they are similar, as long as they are stable, happy and even plain. He is no longer the Yang Shen who just left the imperial court. He has given up everything and his political ambitions. He no longer needs hard work, no longer expects the court to show him anything, and no longer needs to worry about the monarch. He has realized the benefits of staying away from the rivers and lakes. Living a carefree life in Yunnan, with wine to drink, scenery to see and his wife and son to accompany him, Yunnan became his second hometown. I no longer have hope for political achievements, but I live a chic life. There is a carefree mood. So he wrote this song with a stroke of a pen, and every word was easy.
At present, the online auctions are mainly clear paper rubbings, and the prices range from thousands to tens of thousands. It's just that most people only remember Yang Shen's Linjiang Fairy, but almost forget the word. In fact, this word expresses Yang Shen's concern about life fragments, which seems to be more grounded than the exclamation of Linjiang Xian's philosophy of life. Yang Shen's calligraphy is very distinctive and relatively free, which also shows that when he wrote this four-legged song, his mood was already very indifferent, so he wrote it lightly, which is one of Yang Shen's famous calligraphy works.
