Introduction: I believe many people have heard of Luo Yin, so do you know which dynasty poet Luo Yin was? Next are the articles I have collected and organized for you, welcome to read!
Luo Yin (833-909), courtesy name Zhaojian, was a native of Xincheng (now Xindeng Town, Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province). He was a poet, writer, and thinker in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties period.
At the end of the thirteenth year of Dazhong (AD 859), he arrived in the capital and took the Jinshi examination, but failed to pass after seven years. In the eighth year of Xiantong (AD 867), he compiled his own text as "The Slanderous Book", which became more and more hated by the ruling class, so Luo Gun gave him a poem and said: "Although the slanderous book is better than one name, Hugh". Later, I took the exam intermittently for several years, and took the exam for the General Secretary more than ten times. I claimed that I was "in the exam period for 12 or 13 years". In the end, I failed, and it was known in history as "the top ten but not the best". After the Huangchao Uprising, he fled the chaos and lived in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain. In the third year of Guangqi's reign (887 AD), he returned to his hometown at the age of 55 and served as King Qian Liu of Wuyue. He successively served as the magistrate of Qiantang, Langzhong Si Xun, and Zhishi Zhongzhong. He died in 909 AD (the third year of Liang Kaiping's reign after the Five Dynasties) at the age of 77.
He is the author of "Book of Slander" and "Book of Taiping Liangtong", etc. His thoughts belong to Taoism, and his book is an attempt to refine a set of "Taiping Kuangji Techniques" for people all over the world to use, which is an important method in troubled times. The product of the revival and development of Huang-Lao thought.
Biography
In the first year of Tianyou (904), Luo Yin was ordered by Qian Liu, King of Wuyue, to take a wooden boat from Ruian upstream to the river mouth and walk to Ditou Village in Jujiang (today's Belonging to Xinpu Township, Taishun County), he was looking for Yu Xian Wu Qi (formerly Pingzhangshi admonishment doctor) to assist the government. This is the earliest record of shipping from Ruian on the Feiyun River to the mouth of the Taishun River.
Luo Yin’s satirical prose is highly accomplished and can be called a wonder of ancient sketches. The satirical sketches included in "The Book of Slander" are all his "speeches of anger and injustice, which are not met by the current world and have no reason to vent his anger" (Fang Hui's postscript to "The Book of Slander"). Luo Yin himself also believed that "it is therefore necessary to warn the current world and warn the future" (re-preface of "The Book of Slander"). For example, "Heroic Words" uses two so-called "heroic words" by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, which profoundly exposes the robber nature of those emperors who pretended to be "heroes" who saved the people from misery. Finally, a warning was given to the supreme ruler (meaning that he may not have the heart to retreat and be honest, so he may regard him as arrogant and arrogant, and then develop his scheming ear). Glorious thoughts like this are revealed from time to time in Luo Yin's essays. "Speaking of Heavenly Chicken", "Han Wushan Hu", "Sanlu Dafu Yi", "Xu Er Kuangsheng", "Mr. Mei's Monument" and other chapters are also full of laughter and curses, and they are interesting and interesting, showing his understanding of the matter. Strong critical spirit of reality and outstanding satirical artistic talent. In his article "The Crisis of Essays", Lu Xun had a very insightful view of the status of essays in the late Tang Dynasty in the literary history of the Tang Dynasty. He said: "Poetic style declined in the late Tang Dynasty, and sketches gained brilliance. But Luo Yin's "Book of Slander" is almost all about resistance and anger; Pi Rixiu and Lu Guimeng considered themselves hermits, and others also called them hermits. And looking at their essays in "Pi Zi Wen Sou" and "Lize Series", we have not forgotten that the world is just a bed of brilliance and sharpness in the mud."
Luo Yin in the late Tang Dynasty. There are many famous poems in the Five Dynasties, and some popular poems have spread among the people and become classics. Such as "Every time comes, heaven and earth are all working together, and the heroes who are transported are not free", "Don't seek family wealth for descendants", "There is wine now, and you will be drunk now", "No matter how ruthless you are, you will be moved" and so on. Another example is the satirical poem "Snow": "Although a good harvest is auspicious, what happens in a good harvest? There are poor people in Chang'an, so it is not advisable to have too many blessings!" Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, but for the poor people, it turns out to be a disaster. One of his epic poems "Xi Shi" is also better written: "When the country rises and falls, why should the people of Wu blame Xi Shi? If Xi Shi conquered the Wu Kingdom, who would come after the Yue Kingdom fell?" The first sentence is more or less the same. Although he was fatalistic, he opposed blaming Xi Shi for the death of King Wu Fu Chai, which was indeed a powerful reversal of traditional stereotypes. Many people like his poem "Giving Yunying to a Prostitute". There is a story in "The Biography of Talented Scholars of the Tang Dynasty", the original text is as follows: (Luo) Yin, who was poor in his early days, came to go to the imperial examination. When he passed by Zhongling, he saw Yunying, a prostitute in the camp, who was talented and thoughtful. In the next century, the next one will pass. Ying said: "Luo Xiucai has not yet shed his white hair." The hidden poem goes: "Zhongling was drunk for more than ten springs and saw Yunying's body again. I am not a famous minister and I am not married, so I may not be as good as others." Luo Yin is talented, Yunying is. How can you be inferior to others if you are both beautiful in sex and art? It’s just that society didn’t give them a chance, right? I am moved every time I read this poem, maybe because my experiences are similar to theirs. Tu Zhongfu of the Ming Dynasty said: "If "Reply to Yunying's Criticism" and "Ti Xin Bang" are two masterpieces, I would really shed tears for them." ("Preface to Keluo Jiangdong Collection")
Legend has it that Earth Immortal Luo Yin is the "True Dragon Emperor". The Jade Emperor was afraid that he would cause trouble if he became emperor, so he sent heavenly soldiers and generals to replace Luo Yin's immortal bones. At that time, Luo Yin gritted his teeth and all the immortal bones in his body had been replaced. Only the gum bones could not be replaced. Although he could not become an emperor, he was left with a "sage mouth". Oddly enough, whatever Luo Yin said came true. Everyone wanted to ask him to say good things, but they were also afraid of making him say bad things. There are many magical stories about Luo Yin among the people in Shuidi.
Luoyin Blocks the River
There is a Nanliu River in Yulin and a Beiliu River in the north. It is said that they were the same river in the past. Why did it split into two rivers later? Speaking of the two rivers flowing in the north and south, they have a lot to do with Luo Yin!
Luo Yin came to Guangxi from Guangdong and saw a surging river, like a ferocious dragon, flowing from the top of Darong Mountain to the South China Sea.
The river bed is very high. During heavy rains, the river water rises, often flooding the fields on both sides of the river and destroying villages. If there is a drought, the river water is low, and it is difficult to draw water up to irrigate crops. Therefore, the people living along the river are living in poverty and have always hated this river. Luo Yin understood the suffering of the people and determined to block the river and change its flow so that people on both sides of the river could live a good life. Luo Yin asked the mountain god for a stone mountain, picked it up and traveled all night, walking and resting, resting and walking. After walking 7,749 miles and passing 8,864 turns, we finally arrived at the place where the river is about to enter the sea. He tried to push the stone mountain into the river, feeling that the river was coming fiercely and it was difficult to change its direction. So I picked up the mountain and walked back, trying to find a suitable place to intercept it. While walking, he suddenly heard the crowing of a rooster. Luo Yin hurriedly pushed the stone mountain into the river bend. The river was blocked, and the overflowing stream continued to flow south, while the other stream continued to flow south. Turned to Beiliu. Since then, the river has divided into two rivers, flowing south and north. The floods have been reduced, and the lives of the people along the coast have been getting better day by day.
Besides, Luo Yin heard the crow of the rooster and knew that the stone mountain could no longer be picked away. He felt that it was not appropriate to block the river bend, and he felt very unhappy. Looking at the night sky, he counted with his fingers. It's not midnight yet, why is the rooster crowing? Luo Yin felt strange, so he went to Uncle Shetan from a nearby village and asked, "Whose chicken was crowing just now?" Uncle Shetan replied, "No one's chicken was crowing either!" "What's that strange sound?" Luo Yin asked. Uncle Uncle from the community laughed and said, "I learned how to crow like a chicken." Luo Yin was very angry, slapped him twice, and shouted: "You usually act like a bully and do good, and you ask the people to offer sacrifices in vain, but you don't accumulate any merit for the village. Instead, after you are drunk and full, you scream in weird ways and are almost bad." It’s a big deal for me. Listen! From now on, there will be no place for you to live and eat in the village.”
Later, Uncle Shetan finally repented and visited the village day and night to exorcise evil spirits for the people. Straighten yourself up and bless you for peace. The villagers thought of his good deeds, so they built a shrine next to the village, where they offered three sacrifices, wine and sweet wine during festivals. However, they never built a temple for the shrine uncle. Luo Yin also wrote a couplet for the uncle of the social circle:
The dusty wind sweeps the shrine hall by itself
The altar door is unlocked and the moon comes to close
Outstanding talent and learning
Luo Yin's talent was still very outstanding, and he was highly praised by people at the time. Luo Shaowei, who regarded him as his uncle at first, liked Luo Yin's poems very much. He also wrote poems himself and wrote his own poems. The poem is modestly titled "Stealing Jiangdong Collection". Wang Shifan, who ruled in Qingzhou, often sent letters and property to Luo Yin, asking him to give him poems. When he got the poems, he was overjoyed and couldn't put it down. A friend won the Jinshi. Luo Yin wrote a poem to congratulate him, but his friend's father said: "I am not happy that my son has passed the exam. What I am happy about is that I got a poem by Luo Gong." It can be seen that Luo Yin was famous at that time, but This reputation also became a big obstacle to his success. Luo Yin wrote many works in his life, including "Slanderous Book", "Huaihai Fables", "Xiannan Application Collection", "Jiangnan Jiayi Collection", "Lingbizi" and so on. Luo Yin's poems are very state-of-the-art, and his understanding of life is also very profound. For example, "Meng Haoran's Tomb" criticized the society's cold treatment of scholars at that time: "A few steps on the desolate road are connected to the old path, and the rain is miserable in the cold suburbs. There is no loess in Lumen. It is as low as the scholar's tomb. "The height of the tomb shows the level of courtesy after death."
There is also the more famous "Self-dispatch", which describes the helplessness of him and some talented people who were unable to serve the country at that time. Some sentences are still quoted by some people, but they are taken out of context. . Luo Yin wrote in "Self-dispatch": "Sing high when you gain and rest when you lose, and you will be sad and resentful. There is wine today and you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow."
In other poems There are also good sentences that often appear, such as "After collecting hundreds of flowers into honey, it is sweet for whom you work hard." in "Bee", "Every time comes, heaven and earth work together."
Except In addition to poetry, Luo Yin is also famous for his articles, mainly the essays in "The Book of Slander". In the preface, Luo Yin wrote self-deprecatingly: "I have been in the capital for seven years. I have been hungry and cold, and I hardly look like a normal person anymore. In the first month of the year Dinghai, I took this book and scolded myself: "Others use books to gain honor, but you use it to humiliate yourself; others use books to gain wealth, but you become poor because of it." ’ Therefore, my book is just about flattering myself, so let’s call it a slanderous book. "Luo Yin's son Sai Weng, who was an official to the Jiedushi Envoy, was good at painting sheep, and was regarded as a genius at that time. There is an article "Inscribed on the Sheep Picture" in Luo Yin's "Slanderous Book", which is probably written on his son's painting. , he satirized the bad customs at that time, to the effect: "In the time of Yao, there were divine sheep who could not tell right from wrong. Later generations painted the horns in weird shapes, thinking that they were the sacred sheep. snort! Yao's sheep were essentially the same as today's sheep. The original sheep were innocent, but now the simplicity has been corrupted, the sheep have become greedy and vicious, and humans have also fallen. So now that the horns of the sheep are crooked, we can no longer touch people who can't tell the difference between good and bad as before. "Luo Yin was talented, but his initial failure was mainly because he was too arrogant and did not know that "there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky". It seemed that there was no talented person in the world except him, but his frustration made his poetic talent move towards The other direction of satire has developed greatly. If he had restrained himself a little, he might have done more at that time, but in this case, the talented and arrogant Luo Yin would not have appeared. He was so famous that he summoned him with his official position as a right-hand admonition to the doctor, but Luo Yin refused.
At the same time, he also suggested that Qian Liu attack Houliang and eliminate Zhu Wen who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. He said: "The king is a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and it is his duty to send troops to the Northern Expedition. Even if he fails, he can still keep Hangzhou and Yuezhou and proclaim himself emperor in the east. How can he go north to become a minister and be humiliated?" Qian Liu thought that Luo Yin After being suppressed by the Tang Dynasty for a long time, he would resent the Tang Dynasty. At this time, he saw that he did not care about personal gains and losses, but focused on morality. He admired his character very much. Although he did not follow his suggestion of the Northern Expedition, he felt more towards Luo Yin. Take it seriously.
