A few poems about sympathy for the same disease
I have admired Wang Changling for a long time, so I started to read Wang Changling's poems. I casually opened Wang Changling's selected poems that day, and I immediately saw four quatrains in a row. They were all written by him to his friends after he was demoted to Long Biaowei to express his sympathy for each other.
"Send Mu Shiyu out of Youzhou": "A bunch of kindness and condemnation left Xiaoxiang, and it was thousands of miles long from the north to the south of the Yangtze River. There are few letters from Jimen, and the wild geese still reach Hengyang." Who is Mu Shiyu? It's not clear; it's not clear why he was demoted to Youzhou; it's also not clear what kind of friendship the two of them had. Wang Changling was demoted to Longbiao, which was located in Qianyang County, Huaihua City, western Hunan Province, and Youzhou was located in the area around today's Beijing and Tianjin. One is in the south of the Yangtze River and the other is in the north of the Great Wall. They are thousands of miles apart and it is inconvenient to exchange letters. Wang Changling said: It doesn't matter, isn't there still "Hengyang Wild Goose"? There is a "Huiyan Peak" in Hengshan Mountain. It is said that the geese coming from the north stop flying south here, fall down, and fly back to the north next spring. We can ask the geese to deliver letters to us. The idea of ??letting "Hengyang Yan" deliver the letter is a good idea, but it is not his original creation and is equivalent to a "cliché"; it is obvious that he was relegated, but he said it was a "condemnation", which is unpleasant to read.
"Send to the Deputy Envoy Tao": "I heard that General Tao broke through the sea gate, how can he be banished to Hunan and Yuan? When spring comes, the Ming Dynasty will seal Xiyue, and he will return the purple ribbon to the emperor." The name of Deputy Envoy Tao is also concise. All unknown. "Broken Sea Gate" refers to the battle in which Liu Julin, the governor of Nanhai, and others were ordered to attack "Pirate Wu Lingguang" in the third year of Tang Tianbao (743). In the eighth year of Tianbao, Liu Julin committed bribery and committed suicide. Tao was his deputy and might have been involved, so he was demoted. Changling heard about it and sent a poem to comfort him, saying: I heard that next spring Xuanzong will "close the mountain" (sealing Xiyue to worship Mount Huashan). It is different from today's "closing the mountain" in which some important figures climb mountains but prohibits ordinary people from climbing. It is also different from "closing the mountain to cultivate forests". ""Closing the Mountain"), then a general amnesty will be held as usual. Brother, you will be pardoned and reinstated, and you will still wear the purple ribbon.
"Reply to Huangfu Yue in Nanling": "I fell ill with you and fell into exile again. I bid farewell to my old friend in Xuancheng last night. The kindness of the Lord Ming Dynasty has not lasted for a long time, and the Yangtze River is still near the five streams." Huangfu Yue He was a friend of Changling and was demoted to Xuancheng. Wang Changling was demoted to Longbiao. He set out from Jiangning and went up the river, lingering with his old friends all the way. From the autumn of the sixth year of Tianbao to the spring of the seventh year, he arrived at the place where he was demoted. He was delayed for several months on the way. In the meantime, I once took a detour to Xuancheng to say goodbye to Huangfu Mountain. He comforted Huangfu Yue and said: The great kindness of the wise monarch will come soon. We friends will be separated for a while, but we will eventually get together, just like the water of the five streams, which will eventually merge into the Yangtze River. Ah, you see, he still pins his hope on the emperor's amnesty; he clearly wants to correct unjust, false and wrong cases, but he says "the emperor's grace is great".
"Xijiang Sends a Letter to Yue Di": "Nanpu is beyond Fengjun Ridge, and Yuanxi River is farther away from Dongting Mountain. The grace of Yao was like the spring rain, and we met in dreams and entered the pass together." "Chu Ci·Nine Songs· There is a sentence in "He Bo": "My son is traveling eastward to meet with me, and I am sending my beauty to Nanpu." From then on, "Nanpu" became synonymous with the place of farewell in later poems, which is equivalent to the dock inn. According to the investigation, Wang Changling did not have a younger brother named Wang Yue. The "Yue brother" here should be "his younger brother Wang Yue", a distant brother with the same surname. Yuanxi is Yuanshui, and Longbiao is in the upper reaches of Yuanshui. Here, Yuanxi represents Longbiao. Wang Changling said to Wang Yue, when I met you in Nanpu, you were coming back from the place where you were relegated outside the mountains and moved to the Dongting Lake area. You are lucky enough. My relegated dragon mark is even further away than your Dongting Lake. I feel that the grace of Yao and Shun will come in time like spring rain. I have been looking forward to this day in my dreams. Once I dreamed that both of us brothers were blessed, and we entered Tongguan together hand in hand.
After reading these poems, I generally feel that they are quite general. To be honest, I can write such a poem.
Calling being belittled as a punishment. Place your hope in the emperor's sage and grant a general amnesty to the world. Use it to comfort yourself and use it to comfort your friends.
This kind of spiritual state, to be honest, is not beyond ordinary people. Wang Changling's relationship with her friends is actually very ordinary. Maybe you will say that if you have complaints in your heart, do you dare to say it? Don’t want to live? Maybe that's the case, there are undercover agents, eyeliners, and the walls have ears.
Guess. When you need to praise him, you can create something out of nothing; when you need to step on him, you might as well create something out of nothing.
It is difficult to say whether these people who were demoted have the same disease. They need to be identified one by one. Wang Changling treats them as the same as long as they are demoted. How stupid! There is no "personality"!
Wang Changling did not know the real reason why he was demoted to Longbiao until his death. Even to his death, he did not know the real reason why Lu Qiu Xiao, the governor of Bozhou, killed him. Wang Changling's writing is good, his emotional intelligence is average, and his political qualities are not that bad.
