"spring night is short, the sun rises too early, and the emperor never listens early" is Bai Juyi's masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, and it is also the embodiment of his talent. However, it is such a talented poet who has a bumpy career.
Bai Juyi was born in a small and medium-sized bureaucratic family, and the Tang Dynasty rose from prosperity to decline. Bai Juyi's hometown was also devastated by the war. We all know that cultural elements like Bai Juyi want to serve the country and rebuild the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
On June 3rd, 8 15, the air in Chang 'an, Kyoto was dreary, and former Prime Minister Wu was killed by an assassin on his way to Daming Palace. The assassination shocked the ruling and opposition parties, and for a time the whole city was under martial law. The whole Chang 'an is shrouded in an atmosphere of terror. With the occurrence of this murder case, Bai Juyi, a famous poet at that time, was directly implicated. Then why is this?
It turned out that Bai Juyi was appointed as a speech officer because his talent was appreciated by the emperor. But Bai Juyi is very eager to do something for the country, so he often calls a spade a spade. The prime minister was killed in the street, and Bai Juyi certainly couldn't sit still. He immediately drafted a letter, saying that the assassination of the Prime Minister on his way to court was a national humiliation and that the murderer behind the scenes should be thoroughly investigated. On the surface, there seems nothing wrong with this, but you should know that the prime minister of today's dynasty can be killed on the heavily guarded road to the imperial court, and the mastermind behind it must be a powerful political group. But Bai Juyi didn't know that his outspoken remonstrance angered the bureaucratic group in power at that time, so under the repeated blows of these behind-the-scenes, the emperor couldn't help but charge Bai Juyi with remonstrance beyond his authority and was banished to Jiangzhou.
Bai Juyi's True Nature ended his political career in Beijing, and Bai Juyi, who was demoted to Jiangzhou, wrote Pipa Xing according to his own experience. Although Bai Juyi had a bumpy career in his later years, he wrote many excellent poems expressing his feelings about mountains and rivers and spread them around the world.
