Beautiful scenery in the early Northern Song Dynasty.

Ouyang Xiu, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, was one of the famous eight masters in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China history. He has high attainments in ancient Chinese prose and poetry. As for writing lyrics, predecessors thought it was his spare time. Su Shi thinks that his articles are comparable to Sima Qian and Han Yu, and his poems are like Li Bai. However, the content of his ci is quite different from that of poetry, which is mostly related to life and appreciation.

He was sent to Xining, Song Shenzong for 4 years (A.D. 107 1), and Ouyang Xiu, who was over 60 years old, retired to Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui). He used to be the local governor of Yingzhou, but now he has nothing to do, so he often goes to visit the scenic West Lake of Yingzhou with his relatives and friends or alone (there are many places in China with "West Lake" as a scenic spot, the most famous of which is of course Hangzhou West Lake, in addition to Yingzhou West Lake, Jiangsu Yangzhou Slender West Lake and Guangdong Huizhou West Lake). When his interest came, * * * wrote 10 "Picking Mulberries" to describe the various beautiful scenery of Yingzhou West Lake:

Picking Ten Mulberry Seeds (Excerpts) Song Ouyang Xiu

( 1)

The canoe is short and the West Lake is good, the green water is winding, the grass is long and the warbler is flying, and the music is everywhere.

On the windless water, the glass was slippery, and the ship moved and rippled slightly, causing the sand bird to fly ashore.

(3)

It is good to draw a boat carrying wine in the West Lake, and the string is controlled urgently, and the jade lamp urges it to pass, which is steady and smooth.

The clouds are under the boat, the empty water is fresh and the asphalt is lingering. I suspect there will be another day in the lake.

(4)

Flowers bloom, West Lake is good, and wolves are still red. Flying sheep. The weeping willows withered and the sun blew.

When all the tourists are gone, they feel that spring is empty. Put down the curtains. Shuang Yan is back in the drizzle.

(9)

The sky is high and the West Lake is good, and everything in the clouds is fresh. Seagulls and herons do nothing. You should get used to listening to orchestra.

The wind is clear and the moon is white, and the night is suitable. Who envies Luan? Man is immortal on the ship.

The inscription "Picking Mulberry Seeds" comes from the Daqu "Picking Mulberry under Yang" in the Tang Dynasty, which was made by intercepting Daqu once. The West Lake described by Ouyang Xiu in Picking Mulberries is located in the northwest of Fuyang County, Anhui Province today. The lake used to be ten miles long and three miles wide, with more than ten pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. After Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, due to the repeated breaches of the Yellow River, the lake was gradually filled with silt, and now only the site of Grey Laotang and the stone statue of Ouyang Xiu are left.

The scenery of Song Ci lies in the clear sky of Wan Li.

In the eighth year of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1048), Ouyang Xiu was appointed as the magistrate of Yangzhou, and built the "Pingshan Hall" on Shugang Peak on the west side of daming temple, 50 miles northwest of Yangzhou City, which is said to be the first in Huainan. The main hall is built on a high mountain. From the back of the main hall, you can see hundreds of miles of land in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhou Zhen (now Yizheng, Jiangsu), Runzhou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu) and Jinling City are looming. Because of the high terrain of the hall, it sits in the south of the hall, and the distant mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are flush with the railing of the hall, so it is named "Pingshan Hall". In midsummer, Ouyang Xiu often goes to the clubhouse to play with guests in the early morning, drinking and enjoying the scenery, and writing poems. A few years after Ouyang Xiu was transferred from Yangzhou, his friend Liu Ye was appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou. Ouyang Xiu gave him a farewell party and made a farewell speech at the farewell party.

Song Ouyang Xiu Chao Zhong CuO Ping Shan Tang

Pingshan sill leans against the clear sky. There are both colors of mountains and none. Planting weeping willows in front of the hall, don't have a few degrees of spring breeze.

My favorite article is written by the governor. It is a long text. Let's have a drink. Eat and drink enough, while you are young, look down on the elderly before respecting them.

The third sentence of the word "Planting willow in front of the hall" was written by Ouyang Xiu who planted a willow tree in front of Pingshan Hall. Out of respect for him, the locals call this vitamin "Ogungong".

In the second year of Jiayou in Song Renzong (A.D. 1057), Ouyang Xiu was the main research. In this Jinshi exam, he recognized Su Shi, a great writer in China history, and said, "The old lady must let him go, too." At that time, Su Shi was 2 1 year old. Fifteen years later, Ouyang Xiu died. In the second year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong (1079), Su Shi was transferred from Xuzhou to Huzhou as a local official. On his way to his post, he passed by Yangzhou and visited Pingshan Hall. At this time, Ouyang Xiu has been dead for many years, but his ink is still on the wall of Pingshan Hall. Su Shi recalled Ouyang Xiu's literary and political achievements and his appreciation of himself. His heart was full of nostalgia and respect, and he wrote this song "Xijiang Moon":

"Xijiang Moon" stone

Three times under the Pingshan Hall, a half-life break. I haven't seen an old fairy for ten years, and the dragon and snake fly up the wall.

If you want to hang an article, you can still sing the willow spring breeze. Needless to say, everything is empty, and it is a dream not to turn your head.

After Su Shi arrived in Huzhou, he sent a thank-you letter to the court as usual. Li Ding, Shu Qi and others took some words of Xie Biao out of context, criticized the emperor for Su Shi's conceit, and at the same time distorted some of Su Shi's poems, saying that he slandered the court. In this way, Su Shi committed a heinous crime and was arrested and imprisoned in Huzhou. At that time, he thought he would die, but in fact, Zongshen didn't mean to kill him. When Su Shi was in prison, Prime Minister Wang Jue said that Su Shi was disrespectful to the emperor. Zong Shen said: He is guilty, but he is not like this to me. How did you know? The Prime Minister quoted two sentences from Su Shi's Poem of the Ming Dynasty, saying, "Your Majesty is a flying dragon in the sky, but Su Shi thinks he is not a bosom friend, but seeks the underground dragon as a bosom friend. Isn't this disrespectful? " Zong Shen said: how can the poet's poems be explained like this? What does it matter to me that he sings his juniper tree? The baron has nothing to say now. Another official, Zhang Dun, also put in a good word for Su Shi, and the emperor was prepared to be lenient with Su Shi.

At this time, Song Shenzong's grandmother, Empress Dowager Cao Shi, was critically ill and Zongshen was very filial. She wants to pray for Empress Dowager Cixi through Amnesty. Empress Dowager Cixi said, "There is no need to grant amnesty to the whole world, just let Su Shi go. Emperor Renzong returned to the palace and said to me happily,' I got two Taiping prime ministers for my descendants today.' It refers to the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe. How could such a man kill him? "Zongshen woke up, so he demoted Su Shi to Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei) and should always be an agreement.

In Song Dynasty, the deputy envoy of Yong Lian Ying was a leisure post dedicated to the placement of convicted and relegated officials. After taking office, it is supervised by the local governor, which is equivalent to house arrest. When Su Shi first arrived in Huangzhou, he lived in Lingaoge by the Changjiang River in the south of the state. In the second year, Ma Zhengqing, a friend of Su Shi, asked the state to allocate dozens of acres of wasteland east of Huangzhou to Su Shi for farming. This place was named Dongpo. In the autumn of the third year, he built a residence in Dongpo, Tang Xue, and named himself Dongpo lay man, so later generations also called Su Shi Dongpo lay man.

On the edge of the Yangtze River in Huangzhou, Su Shi's friend Meng Zhang built a pavilion. After the pavilion was completed, Su Shi visited the pavilion, named it Kuaizai Pavilion, and wrote a poem for Meng Zhang, in which Pingshan Hall was mentioned.

Stone "Water Tune". Gifts from Huangzhou Kuaizai Pavilion

The sunset lifted the embroidered curtains and looked out, the pavilions and blue sky under the river, the sunset and pavilions in the distance, and the endless space. In order for me to come, you specially painted the windows with bright red paint. This reminds me of the time when I was in Pingshan House, leaning against the pillow, enjoying the misty rain in the south and looking at the horizon in the distance. Know the language of drunkards, where the color of mountains is both yes and no.

The endless water surface is crystal clear, reflecting the green shadow of the mountains. Suddenly, the river was rough, and a fisherman was sailing in the wind and waves. Seeing this, I can't help but think of Song Yu's Song Yu. It is impossible for such a ridiculous person to understand that the wind in Zhuangzi is the voice of nature, saying that the wind has a daughter. A little awe-inspiring, a thousand miles fast.

The name of this word, Zhang, is charming, that is, get it. According to legend, when Yang Di was digging the Bianhe River, he wrote "Shuidiao Song", which became a Daqu in the Tang Dynasty. Intercept the first paragraph of Daqu, namely "Song Tou". Son of Lan Tai, Song Yu, Chu people. He visited the Palace of Lantai (now East of Zhongxiang County, Hubei Province) with King Xiang of Chu, so he was called the son of Lantai. Song Yu said in his "Feng Fu" that the wind is feminine and majestic, which is what this word means. The word "nothing in the mountains" was originally a poem written by the poet Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu also quoted the original sentence "There is nothing in the mountains" in his Zhong Chao CuO (the first word is written on it). It is said that Pingshan Temple is close to the surrounding mountains and can be seen clearly on sunny days, so there will be no "nothing in the mountains" phenomenon. So some people in ancient times thought that Ouyang Xiu was very serious myopia.

During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1862- 1874), Pingshan Hall was rebuilt at its original site, that is, on the top of Shugang Mountain near Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, and the building has been preserved to this day. Because of the fame of Pingshantang, people have incorporated nearby places of interest, including daming temple Site in Tang Dynasty, Xiyuan, the Fifth Spring in the World, Gulintang and Ouyang Xiuci, into Pingshantang Park.

The natural scenery and places of interest hidden in Song Ci are so much for today. The code word is a bit eye-catching and needs a rest, hahaha!
