A brief introduction to Han Yu and his literary achievements

Han Yu (768-824) was a writer in the Tang Dynasty. In other words, they often call themselves Changli people, so they are called Han Changli in the world. Born in Heyang (now Meng County, Henan Province), he read extensively before 19 years old and benefited a lot from the Six Classics. /kloc-I went to Beijing to take the exam at the age of 0/9 and failed the exam three times. It was not until I was twenty-five that I was admitted to Jinshi. Xuan also took the formal exam, but three attempts failed. After living in Chang 'an for ten years, I didn't find a job. At the age of twenty-nine, he decided to leave Chang 'an and go to Bianzhou (now Kaifeng, Henan Province) to be the chief of staff of Dong Jin, the Xuanwu ambassador, and Zhang Jianfeng, the Xuzhou Wuning ambassador. At the age of 35, he returned to Beijing and was appointed as a doctor in four schools. Thirty-six years old, worship the suggestion. Because of the disaster in Guanzhong, he wrote to beg for mercy and was demoted to Yangshan (now Guangdong) rank. At the age of 39, he was recalled as Dr. Guo Zi. At the age of fifty, he was promoted to assistant minister of punishments for his meritorious service with Pei Du. In the fourteenth year of Yuanhe, he was demoted to the secretariat of Chaozhou (now Chaoan, Guangdong) for admonishing with Buddhist bones. Mu Zong acceded to the throne, returned to Beijing in Taiwan, worshipped imperial academy as a drink offering, served as assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and served as assistant minister of the official department. Known as the Korean official department. Politically, Han Yu neither agreed with Wang's ideas of the Reform School nor opposed the separatist regime in the buffer region. He admired Confucianism ideologically and cared more about people's illness. In literature, he advocated inheriting the prose tradition of Qin and Han Dynasties, opposed parallel prose since the Six Dynasties, advocated prose style, and was an advocate of the ancient prose movement together with Liu Zongyuan. Advocate "literature carries Tao", "integration of literature and Taoism" and give priority to Tao. Learning ancient Chinese advocates "learning its meaning but not its words" (in reply to Liu's letter). Emphasize that the language of the article should be original and serve the expressed ideological content; "You must come from yourself, not from the words of your predecessors" (Epitaph of Nanyang Fan Shaoshu) and "Do what Chen says" (Answer to Li Yishu). Articles should be concise and appropriate, sentences should be natural and fluent, and words should be "orderly" (Epitaph of Nanyang Fan Shaoshu). Han Yu used his rich creation and practice to understand his literary thoughts. Many of his more than 340 beautiful articles are rich in content and novel in style, which are highly ideological and artistic in narrative, discussion and lyricism. Later generations commented on his prose, "Like the Yangtze River, it flows like a mighty river" ("Su Xun on Ouyang Connotation"). His argumentative essays, in particular, are often to the point and combative when propagating his Confucianism. For example, The Original Road, The Original Regret, The Teacher's Commentary and Miscellaneous Comments, among which The Teacher's Commentary is a famous article that resists the coldness of the world and criticizes the disadvantages of the times, with strong feelings and irrefutable arguments. It brilliantly discusses the truth that "a scholar must have a teacher" and the narrative of "a teacher must have a teacher", whether writing people, taking notes or expressing them. For example, Zhang Zhongcheng's biography, offering sacrifices to Twelve Lang, and sending Li Yuan and Pangu a preface. Among them, "Ode to Twelve Lang" is full of affection in the details, and its crying is heartbreaking and touching, and it is known as "the single tune of the Millennium". The article "Preface to Send Li Yuan to Pangu" is lively. With the help of Li Yuan, a hermit, he satirized the meanness, extravagance and greed of the officialdom in the Tang Dynasty, and was praised as the first famous piece in the Tang Dynasty by Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty. Han Yu is listed as the first of the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties", and is mentioned with Du Fu, and is known as "Du Fu's Poems of North Korea". He also made new explorations in poetry creation. The so-called "writing as poetry" is unique and creates the poetic style of "reasoning poetry school" with rhyme.
