Lead: In the Southern Song Dynasty, You Mao, with the word "Yan Zhi" and "Xiao Zi Chong Long", became a layman at the beginning, and in his later years, he was named Lexi and Mushi Laoyimin. You Mao was a famous poet and bibliophile in the Southern Song Dynasty. His grandfather is You Shen and his father is You Shixiang. You Mao, Yang, Lu You and Fan Chengda in the Southern Song Dynasty were collectively called "the four great poets in the Southern Song Dynasty". The following is what I have compiled the poems written by poets in the Southern Song Dynasty. Welcome to read for reference.
You Mao
You Mao in the Southern Song Dynasty was born in a scholarly family. He was well influenced by his family since he was a child. At the age of five, he wrote poems. At the age of ten, he was called a prodigy. At the age of fifteen, he was well known by many people because he was good at poetry and fu. At the age of twenty-one, You Mao won the Jinshi, who was originally the top scholar, but was changed to the top three because he offended Qin Gui. You Mao first took the post of county magistrate in Taixing, when the mountains and rivers were broken in the Song Dynasty, and Jiangnan was safer. Taixing is located in the border area of the Southern Song Dynasty, where Jin Bing often invades. After taking office, You Mao pleaded for the people to get rid of harsh taxes, and at the same time led the peasants to sort out the city walls.
in the thirty-first year of Shaoxing in the southern song dynasty, the Jin army invaded the song dynasty on a large scale, and Yangzhou, Zhenzhou and other places fell one after another, only Taixing was preserved. After the Jin Bing ravaged the Huai River, the people were displaced and there was no peace all day. You Mao described the tragic experience of Huainan people in his poems, and also expressed his sympathy for Huainan people.
after You Mao made great achievements as an official in Taixing, he was ordered to be transferred to Beijing, where he served as an editor of the National History Institute and an examiner of the Record Institute, and later he was promoted to be a prince's assistant. Later, because You Mao, together with many ministers, opposed the emperor's appointment of Zhang Shuo, he was driven out of the capital in the second year and served as the magistrate in Taizhou. During his tenure as a magistrate in Taizhou, You Mao reduced the taxes of the poor people and continued to thicken and heighten the city walls.
You Mao's pronunciation
You Mao's pronunciation, You Mao (Mao), "Mao" is the vast word "Mao". After the popularization of You Mao's pronunciation, here is an introduction to You Mao. You Mao was a famous poet, minister and bibliophile in the Southern Song Dynasty. You Mao is particularly fond of collecting books. He has a special hobby for books all his life, and he has the title of bookcase. As long as he knows the title of any book he hasn't read, he must try his best to find it to read. After reading, he should not only take notes, but also copy it.
Yang once described the scene of You Mao's copying books: every time You Mao retired from the DPRK, he would shut the door and copy several ancient books every day. His disciples also copied books, and so did his daughter. Yang also recorded a story about You Mao, saying that Yang once gave his books to You Mao, and You Mao was very happy to write poems as a reward.
Because You Mao likes collecting very much. Collecting books, and in addition, he once served as an assistant in the National History Museum and other related positions. Whenever he had the opportunity, he borrowed books from the Secret Pavilion of the Third Hall of the Imperial Court to read, and was able to read some books that were difficult for ordinary people to see, and copied them all. Therefore, there are many kinds of books in You Mao, among which there are many rare books. His later Lu You once described his book collection, which generally means that all kinds of books are piled up all over the house, so many that they can't get up.
You Mao has copied more than 3, volumes in his life. His books are not easy to borrow, and it seems that brand-new books have not been touched by anyone. In addition, there are several places where books are collected, with more than 3 thousand volumes. You Mao once compiled the books into one volume, which is also the earliest edition catalogue in China, and it has a very important reference function for studying the ancient books in China.
You Mao was a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, and his main literary achievement was reflected in his poetry creation. The situation in the Southern Song Dynasty was turbulent, the people's life was very hard, there were strong enemies abroad, and the internal political situation was very chaotic. In You Mao's poems, we can often see his thoughts of worrying about the country and the people and his sympathy for the people.
Fang Hui of the Yuan Dynasty once talked about poets in the Southern Song Dynasty. He said, "When it comes to poets, you, Yang, Fan and Lu will definitely be mentioned." The four people he mentioned were the four great poets of the Southern Song Dynasty, and You Mao was one of them. Unfortunately, You Mao's large collection of poems, his related works and more than 3, books were all burned up in a fire. The fifty-nine poems about him that I have seen now are compiled and collected by his descendants from many places. From his remaining poems, we can see his general ideological content. You Mao, like the other three poets, showed great dissatisfaction with the attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court who was bent on partial peace and surrender at that time, and felt angry and powerless at the turmoil of the national political situation, the broken mountains and rivers and the oppression of people. For example, from You Mao's poem "Falling Plums", we can see that the poet is worried about the safety of the country, and he is angry with the court of the Southern Song Dynasty for not making progress and singing and dancing all day.
You Mao's poems are very ordinary and natural, popular and fresh, with neither flowery rhetoric nor pretentious mystery. For example, the Snow he wrote mainly describes the scenes and feelings after the snow. The poet didn't know it was snowing when he was sleeping, but he was surprised that the window was lit up. The snowflake is already a foot thick, and the bright moon illuminates the night.
