Chang 'an Langmanke
The Tang Dynasty was the golden age of China's ancient literature, with numerous poems. Among them, the talented poet Bai Juyi ranked first with more than 3,800 poems. Among all Tang poems, concubines' poems account for a large proportion; Among them, Bai Juyi's poems are the highest among the poets in the Tang Dynasty in terms of quantity and quality. It can be described as the first "Sao" guest in ancient and modern times! In addition, Bai Juyi also had intimate relationships with dozens or even dozens of prostitutes such as Auntie, Li, Ma, Pei Xing, Shang Linglong, Xie, Wu Niang, Rong, Man, Juan, Zhou, Xiao Man. From this point of view, he is also worthy of being the first "Sao" guest in ancient and modern times.
Under the influence of the social fashion of "eat, drink and be merry" in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi could not help drifting with the tide. As soon as I entered the official career, I wandered in lewdness. According to reliable records, the first thing Bai Juyi did after entering the department was to visit brothels, and soon he met Ruan, a famous prostitute in Chang 'an. He praised Ruan's beauty with the poem "Green water and red lotus blossom alone, and a hundred flowers and a hundred herbs have no color". These two poems are Bai Juyi's early works, but they were not included in his poetry collection. But they were loved by some romantic men at that time and were widely copied, so there were manuscripts in circulation. When Yuan Zhen arrived in Tongzhou, he saw two sentences in this book and sighed for it. He thought it was a strange thing and copied it to Bai Juyi to share. Bai Juyi looked at it and found that it was a Ruan quatrain that he 15 years ago gave to Chang 'an when he took the science exam.
Bai Juyi is a scholar, and later served as a provincial school book and other posts. His career is booming and he doesn't have much time in Pingkang. After offending the powerful, he was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima. Affected by this, he became more addicted to sensuality. In the eleventh year at the end of Yuan Dynasty, I met Pei Xing, a prostitute, when I saw her off for nothing.
Naturally, the most important thing in this poem is sincere feelings. Scholar Chen Yinque once commented on this poem: "It is specially written for this purpose. Chang 'an advocates women's feelings, which has hurt the past and even lost its direction. The person who works directly with this poem and the person who recites this poem are one. " He also said: "I am full of the feeling of resettlement. I feel that I am in the same boat as a businesswoman. "Better than latitude, farther." The music degenerated into misery, and the lyrics were passed on to each other. Pipa sings the warmth of the world; Bai Juyi's Pipa Journey is full of sorrow of meeting and knowing each other. A pipa, seemingly bitter, regretful and full of tears; The articles in Tang and Song Dynasties are sympathetic, just like the tide in Song Like. It was the pipa girl who helped Bai Juyi create the most famous masterpiece in the history of literature.

In the Qing Dynasty, Bai Juyi was transferred to Hangzhou as the secretariat of calligraphy in China. Hangzhou, a holiday resort in the south of the Yangtze River and a paradise on earth, has not only beautiful scenery, but also many celebrities. The red light district in Hangzhou has always been crowded with famous prostitutes.
Bai Juyi was very romantic when he was an official in Hangzhou, and he had many friends in brothels. First of all, he found famous prostitutes Shang Linglong and Xie, who are good at coping and singing and dancing. Bai Juyi mixes poetry and wine every day. He often takes Linglong out to play, leaving a romantic scene. Especially for this exquisite, well-known and excellent color art, local literati and poets are proud of falling at her feet, and it is a matter of face to be invited to Linglong Company.
My good friend Yuan Zhen heard about it in Yuezhou, and Hou Bi invited Shang Linglong to play. Then I gave it away for nothing. Let me sing all the songs for my friends to taste. After spending more than a month with him, Yuan Zhen sent him home and wrote a poem poking fun at Bai Juyi: "Don't send Linglong to sing my words. My words are all poems for you. " However, I returned to the river, the moon went down and the tide was flat. "From then on, they became bosom friends and friends of friends, exchanged experiences with each other, enriched cultural life and exchanged needed goods, which became a much-told story in the literary world.
