Li Shishi's Poems

One day, Song Huizong, who had a tiring journey, was sitting in a moneyball booth moping, and Gao Qiu and Yang Jian accompanied him from time to time. When Gao Qiu saw this, he suggested, "Your Majesty is the son of heaven, so why not? Eat, drink and be merry in time to live up to youth, and life is like a blink of an eye. If you don't find happiness for yourself, you will get hurt. Hui Zong replied, "Your words are very clear. I should let go of my troubles and try to find happiness so that I will not live up to the years. " Just then, suddenly a gust of wind floated across the strings of the orchestra. He said, "I know that among these nine things, I am not as happy as Wang." "I want to go out and see this city. I hate it for no reason." Yang Jian immediately said, "It's easy. Your majesty only needs to pretend to be a scholar. I'll just pretend to be a servant and go out through the narrow door at the back to enjoy the city. " So Hui Zong was driven out of the palace by two traitors. Walking all the way through the streets, I saw singing and dancing pavilions and flower houses in the wine market. I was very happy to meet Emperor Hui Zong. At dusk, I came to Jin Huan Lane. The humor here is different from other places. Everyone is laughing at the bottom of the curtain, and the door is full of noise. This is the location of a famous brothel in Bianjing City. It turns out that Gao Qiu often comes and goes here, especially the famous prostitute Li Shishi, which attracted Hui Zong. There is a poem describing Li Shishi's beauty:

Eyebrows hang in a bun, eyes are full of autumn water.

Phoenix shoes are half-folded with small bows, and Yingying speaks delicately.

Cut clouds and fog to make a shirt and put it on, just at the waist.

Peach blossom is a face and jade is a muscle, which is hard to describe.

Ouyang Xiu Yan Shu's contemporary Zhang Sanzhong (because his apricot Xiangzi has a sentence "What's in your heart, tears in your eyes, the right person") and Zhang Sanying (because he once bootstrapped three words that have shadows in life: "Clouds break through the moon" [Fairy]; "Pleasant people are lazy, and the curtains are rolled up" ["Returning to the DPRK"]; Famous poets Zhang Xi 'an and Zhang Ziye, who are known as "no one in the willow path and no one in the wind" ["Cutting Peony"], once wrote a new epigraph "Shi Ling" for Li Shishi, including one sentence:

Sweet, fragrant, fragrant, fragrant, fragrant, fragrant, fragrant, fragrant. It's timely to learn makeup, and pink is natural and spring. Shu Caiyi's long victory has not yet arrived. Clouds hang vertically. This city garden boasts rich peaches and plums. What does Dongfeng look like? You don't have to fan back the song, your lips are a little smaller than beads. It's the disabled Englishman and the falling moon. Send this feeling thousands of miles away.

Qin Shaoyou, one of the "Four Bachelor's Degree Students in Sumen", is good at writing about the love between men and women, and is "literary and thoughtful". His words describing Li Shishi's makeup are more concise and vivid. A "health faults", widely sung:

The distant mountains have long eyebrows and curled waist. Make-up is spring breeze, and the value of smile is lower. Back in Fengcheng, I said to the brothel: It is better to look at the flowers in Yingchuan than to learn from the teacher.

Another poem "A bunch of flowers" given to Li Shishi by Qin Guan describes the charm of a generation of famous prostitutes. The word yue:

See you tonight after many years. Cheeks are flushed with wine. Half a roll of micro-lamps outside the curtain exposed smoke and curled up to cool the mouth. I can't afford to hug the hairpin and sing new words with tears in my eyes. Holidays are long and uneven. Sadness is dark and lingering. Corresponding to the wonderful dance and clear singing night, it also corresponds to the autumn scenery. Only the painted building, the bright moon at that time, took pictures in two places.

Among them, the most legendary is Zhou Bangyan's poems, which are well-versed in melody and enjoy the reputation of "the crown of poets". According to Zhang's Boudoir Collection in the Southern Song Dynasty, one day, the romantic emperor suddenly visited Li Shishi's apartment. Zhou Bangyan, who was ahead of him, avoided him. In desperation, he hid under the bed. At that time, Song Huizong brought a fresh orange from Jiangnan to Li Shishi as a tribute, enjoyed it and had a romantic conversation. After Hui Zong left, Zhou Bangyan wrote a poem "Youth Journey" under the bed according to personal news, as follows:

The sword is like water, and the house is better than snow. Break new oranges by hand. At the beginning of the brocade, the smoke of animals is constant and the sound is relatively adjusted. Ask in a low voice: Who are you with? It is already midnight in the city. The horse is slippery and frozen, so it's better to have a rest and walk less. Later, Li Shishi once sang the first word in front of Hui Zong. Hui Zong asked whose work it was, but Li Shishi dared not hide it and told the truth. After hearing this, Song Huizong was peeked at the secret of the prostitute, angry and jealous. Unhappy, he quickly ordered Zhou Bangyan to be "escorted out of the country". A day or two later, when Hui Zong went to Li Shishi's apartment again, it happened that Li Shishi gave Zhou Bangyan a farewell dinner. Song Huizong waited until late at night to see Li Shishi with a sad face and tears on his face, and asked him angrily why he was late. Knowing that he had gone to Zhou Bangyan, the capital of China, he asked Zhou Bangyan what he had written when he left. Li Shishi told him that there is a poem "The Warrior Lanling", "The willow shade is straight and the smoke is like silk." On the Sui Dyke, I have seen it several times, waving water and floating cotton to see me off. Looking at the old country, who knows the tired customers in Beijing? Changting Road, which came last year, should flexibly cross thousands of feet ... "... Unexpectedly, Hui Zong was very happy after listening to this song sung by Li Shishi, and immediately ordered Zhou Bangyan to return to Bianjing, entrusting him with the position of" Sheng Da Zheng "-the highest official of the imperial music organ at that time.

The story may be attached to romance, but it may not really happen. However, it's true that Zhou Bangyan dated Li Shishi and wrote poems about her. The Song Dynasty is unknown. According to the Records of Xuanhe Legacy in the Song Dynasty, Zhou Bangyan wrote a poem "Yulaner", which recorded his first impression of Li Shishi. "The bow tie is very light in the new makeup, so it is very charming and natural. We are all familiar with each other, although we fell in love at first sight and we met first. . . "。 Chen Hu, a poet in the Song Dynasty, recorded in "Continuing the Past" that after Zhou Bangyan had been to Li Shishi, he wrote a poem "Luoyang Spring". "Eyebrow * * * mountain beauty, wrinkled. Don't wet the flowers with clear tears, lest they be as thin as people. . . "
