Yuan Zhen has many titles, but I define him as "universal for both men and women"! The man mentioned in the title is "Bai Juyi" who appears in primary school texts only second to Li Bai.
Leaving aside the bloody love stories of Yuan Zhen and Cui Yingying, Yuan Zhen and Wei Cong, Yuan Zhen and Xue Tao, let’s talk about the love poems exchanged between Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi, two gay men. Historically, it is said that the two had the same theoretical views on poetry, so they became close friends. Anyway, I don’t think so. If you say there is nothing passionate about them, I don’t believe it. The two gay men often flirted with poetry when they were together, and after they separated, they began to exchange letters. In order to keep the passion between the two people alive, they also invented the "postbox poem". Once, Bai Juyi and his good friend Li Jian visited Ci'en Temple. I don't know if Li Jian couldn't give him the kind of passion he wanted, or he was spreading dog food in front of him. Bai Juyi missed Yuan Zhen very much.
So I wrote: "Drunk with Li Shiyi and Reminiscing about Yuanjiu" "We were drunk together when we were flowering, and we broke through the spring sorrow. We were drunk and broke flower branches to make wine chips. Suddenly we recalled our old friend Tianji, and planned to arrive in Liangzhou that day." Yuan Zhen, who was in Liangzhou at this time, didn't know that he had a tacit understanding and was also missing Bai Juyi. He wrote a poem "Dream of Liangzhou" on the same night:
"Mengjun walked around Qujiangtou together, and also Walking to the Ci'en Courtyard, the pavilion officials asked people to queue up, and suddenly they were in Guliangzhou. "It's a great achievement for a gay man to be able to do this for these two brothers!" Bai Juyi also wrote in a poem: "You write my poems on the walls of the temple, and my poems about you fill the screen; I know where I meet you, in the sea of ??two leaves of duckweed."
Since you, Brother Bai, I was not idle, brother Yuan, I also came and went without being polite, and wrote Bai Juyi's famous article "Wen Letian Grants Jiangzhou Sima". Yuan Zhen: "I ruined all the women who admired me, just to please Bai Juyi.
