Later generations have different opinions about this veteran of the Three Dynasties who went on strike twice. However, scholars of later generations unanimously affirmed his many excellent overturned poems. The so-called "conviction" poem.
It is in the form of poetry that overturns the previous generation's established evaluation of some historical figures and events, and the literature of reversing the verdict formed from this is even more prosperous in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Famous poets Du Mu, Su Shi and others have many excellent works to reverse their convictions, but Wang Anshi is the only one who is the most shocking and thought-provoking!
Princess Shuming has no complaints, so why stay? To say that Wang Anshi's most famous overturned poem is Fei Ming's two unconventional songs. These two songs are extremely skillful in reversing the verdict, which also fully shows his detached character. The poem says, "I can't describe the origin of my will. Mao Yanshou died in vain at that time."
Different ancestors blamed Mao Yanshou for Fei Ming's tragedy, and he painted an ugly portrait of Zhaojun. On the contrary, they think that the secular etiquette of beautiful women can't be described. The monarch clearly saw Zhaojun before going to the fortress, but he gave up Zhaojun despite all kinds of regrets. In the final analysis, the root cause of Zhaojun's tragedy is that Emperor Gaozu was blinded by bureaucrats and was headstrong.
Obviously, the emperor is the most heartless, but he took his anger out on Mao Yanshou and killed him in vain. The poem says, "Don't you see that Nagato is close at hand, Gillian is closed, and there is no north or south in life." It is also the ruthless behavior of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty who still abandoned his wife. From another point of view, Zhao Jun, as a maid-in-waiting, hardly saw the emperor, which was worse than the affection between Gillian and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Why did he insist on being emperor?
Whether you agree or disagree, it is the same. Going to Xiongnu is not a good idea.
Later, he said, "Hann is shallow and deep, and life is fortunate to know each other." It highlights the warm treatment between Hann and cool thin, as well as the conference semifinals. They were not appreciated by kings in the Han Dynasty, but not necessarily elsewhere! Therefore, it can be seen that in Wang Anshi's eyes, Zhaojun found a good future and a happy home for his lover. To this extent, it has never been seen before, and there has never been anyone since!
As soon as this article came out, contemporary scholars denounced him for being eccentric and ignoring the monarch. However, in the eyes of future generations, Wang Anshi did talk about the principle of people-oriented, telling the essence in one sentence, and thinking about her joys, worries, gains and losses from the perspective of Zhao Jun, instead of looking at the problem from the traditional perspective that the Central Plains is the sky and the emperor is the respect. A thousand years ago, there was a fragment of consciousness that everyone was equal, and the advanced nature of his thought can be seen!
Shi is innocent, but unfortunately, Wang Anshi, the "beauty", is not the only one who has brought disaster to the country and the people. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Liao and Xixia invaded the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty and even stole at least one million yuan a year. During the reign of King Youwang, the Japanese pirates were rampant and occupied the territory, which led to the loss of life. The northwest border has long been in a passive situation of repeated wars and defeats. More importantly, Shi Yisheng and other counselors turned to other countries for advice because they were disappointed with the military system in the Northern Song Dynasty.
At this time, Wang Anshi intended to launch Xining political reform to change the plight of war, but the king was bound by the conservative forces of the imperial court and was unwilling to reform. The future of the court is not optimistic.
In this case, Wang Anshi wrote Xi Poems. Shi is a famous beauty in Yue State. After being destroyed by the State of Wu, the counselor set up a honey trap for the King of Wu, sent a servant as an assistant, confused the King of Wu, and made him have no intention to deal with state affairs, which eventually led to the destruction of the State of Wu. In previous poems, most people said it was a femme fatale to warn the monarch not to indulge in beauty.
But Wang Anshi's poems don't think so. The poem says, "Counselor, why is my concubine a disaster?" I hope your majesty will severely punish Bobo, and there are still beauties in the palace! "
The rise and fall of Wu depends on the monarch and his advisers. Can you blame only a little beauty for bringing disaster to the country and people?
If Fu Cha took Wu Zixu's advice that day and killed his uncle, how could it be the bane of the country? How much pillow breeze can a stone beauty blow in the palace? National security has little to do with women, but much to do with the loyal subjects of the monarch. Wang Anshi's conviction poems highlight the importance of scholars to the country and are even more thought-provoking.
Wang Anshi, who is worthy of being a contemporary wizard, pointed out that the reason for the demise of the State of Wu was that the counselor was disloyal and the king was heartless. Combined with the situation at that time, he woke everyone up and hit the nail on the head!
Therefore, Xining political reform finally began to be implemented. Under the command of Wang Anshi, Xining won a total victory in six years, and it was also the only complete victory in the Northern Song Dynasty without any suspense! It can be seen that Wang Anshi not only has political talent, but also is a military master! Loyal consultant!
Praise Shang Yang's sincerity, how do you know that Wang Anshi is not the "second Shang Yang"? Zong Shen and Wang Anshi were pioneers in JaeHee Ning political reform. They had advanced ideas and fearless courage, but they were also afraid that the political reform would not work. Therefore, when discussing political affairs, they often refer to the past to discuss the present, or innovate according to the excellent experience of their ancestors, or metaphorically describe the positions of the two factions at that time.
By referring to the past, the monarch and his subjects communicated with each other, making each other more deeply understand the benefits and worries of reform. This is also the blowout period of Wang Anshi's overturned poems, and Shang Yang, which can best express his personal position, was created during this period.
Shang Yang was a famous political reformer in the Warring States Period. After being reused, he actively promoted political reform, abandoned mining fields, valued agriculture and mulberry, awarded military service, implemented unified measurement, established county system, and so on. After that, he became strong and unified the seven countries, but in the end, it didn't end well.
Shang Yang's Honesty in Wang Anshi's Works
For Shang Yang, the Confucian orthodoxy of past dynasties was despised and spurned by everyone. For example, Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi's "sworn enemy", thinks in the article "On Shang Yang" that the prosperity of Qin has nothing to do with Shang Yang, but the reason for its inevitable demise is that "Yang actually achieved it". Wang Anshi disagreed with him, and wrote in his poem: "Since ancient times, people have been driven by bullying, and a word is more important than gold. Today's people must be Shang Yang, and business makes politics imperative. "
Different from the criticism of Shang Yang by Confucian scholars in the past, this is a new way to affirm Shang Yang's honest personality based on honesty and wood. I highly appreciate that if Shang Yang carries out political reform today, he will certainly be able to carry out government decrees smoothly and achieve great success.
This sigh is obviously Wang Anshi's frustration at the difficulty in implementing the new law, the lack of support and the lack of trust from the monarch. However, his poems firmly follow the tone of Shang Yang's political reform, and also fully show Wang Anshi's determination to serve the country politically and his fearless and utilitarian broad-minded heart.
Why is Wang Anshi's overturned poem so excellent? Wang Anshi is a genius who shocked the world. As an outstanding politician, strategist and philosopher, Wang Anshi's Xining reform condensed his life's hard work and made great achievements.
Ning Reform improved the "poverty and weakness" phenomenon in the Northern Song Dynasty to some extent. Policies such as "young crops money", "exemption from labor" and "easy money in the city" have also increased the state's fiscal revenue, promoted the progress of agricultural production and rapid economic development, truly reduced the state's burden and created a rare prosperity for a hundred years.
Wang Anshi firmly believed that "heaven is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, people don't say anything, and the earth is not afraid", but after all, he was no match for indecisive kings, selfish relatives and conservative literati, and finally the reform failed, and the long-term party struggle accelerated the decline of the dynasty. However, Wang Anshi, an "old man" who was at the forefront of the feudal dynasty, was an undeniable genius!
The reason why Wang Anshi can "push the spirit of reversing his conviction to the extreme" is related to his stubborn and withdrawn character, on the other hand, it is also inseparable from the spirit of the times in which scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty are active and good at exploring.
After Li Qing, the critical spirit of not blindly following and daring to doubt began to prevail in Confucian classics. Wang Anshi is willing to be different and is good at observing and looking for new angles, thus forming a unique way of thinking, which is manifested in his poems. In addition, Wang Anshi also has unique and novel views on historical events and figures.
Wang Anshi traveled around the world with his father since childhood, knowing the sufferings of the people, and then understanding that different classes will depict the facts from different angles for their own interests, and so is history. She is a "little girl who lets the winners discredit her face".
He initially formed ancient naive materialism's dialectical view of two sides of things, doubted and criticized the authenticity of Records of the Historian, and endowed the literature of cassation with deeper political connotation, which made him completely different from the vulgar works that were blindly eye-catching.
Wang Anshi wrote poems to reverse the verdict for historical figures, awakening the dialectical thoughts of the world, not only affirming his political stance, but also confidently refuting all kinds of difficulties created by conservatives. Wang Anshi's conviction literature seems to be deviant, but in fact it implements the principle of serving as an official and learning. He wants to correct the historical facts and borrow the past to compare the present, so it gives people a sense of shock.
Wang Anshi knew that his thoughts would not be understood by the world, tolerated by dynasties, and even did bad things with kindness under the obstruction of conservatives and court nobles, but he still devoted himself to the country and the people and devoted himself to political reform. Even if the reform ended in failure, Wang Anshi was ousted and returned to his hometown.
