Do you know liuyong? He used to be the county magistrate of Zhoushan.

People who cook the sea have no camps, and women have no silkworms or plows. Food and clothing sources are too scarce, and cooking in prison pots will be levied.
Every spring and summer, the tide is full, and the tide retreats to scrape mud into an island. After air-drying, salty taste is added, and tide waves turn into brine.
Brine is weak in alkali, and firewood goes deep into Wuji Mountain. The leopard can't avoid the tiger trail, and chao yang shan returns to the sunset.
The shoulder of the ship does not rest, and it is hot in the giant stove. When it burns in the morning and accumulates at dusk, the waves turn into snow.
Since the brine has accumulated in first frost, it is nothing more than a fake loan to fill the grain. Joining the official is slightly more straightforward, and one salary often loses ten.
There is no rest again and again, and official rent is not forced by private rent. The project of driving wives out of class one by one, although it is a humanoid dish.
Why bother people in the sea? They can have a rich mother and a rich child. This dynasty lacked everything and hoped to go to the seaside widely.
Armored soldiers wash their hands of it, so you can stop eating salt and iron if you have spare money. Peace is the industry, which is salt, and enters the summer, business and Thursday seasons.
Think of this as extracurricular reading.
People on the sea have no camps, and women have no silkworms and no plows. The source of food and clothing is too scarce, and cooking in a prison basin is a loss.
-Liu Yong's "Boiling Sea Song, Burning House"
These are the first four sentences of Liu Yong's Song of Boiling the Sea. Yes, it is indeed Liu Yong's work, written in Zhoushan, whether you believe it or not. It seems that Liu Yong has left the bustling city of "Going to Liu Yuan to get a lane" and "Don't be a flower god" ("Huangyinger"), put down the picture frame, walked into the real streets and began to experience the life of the poor. He no longer lamented that "the makeup of the building is not satisfactory, and God knows how to return to the boat." The beauty of brothels (Klang Ganzhou) is no longer "sentimental farewell since ancient times, even more so in the cold autumn festival." Where did you wake up tonight? The wind on the bank of Yangliu is a small moon loss. " (Lin Yuling)
Charming teenager. Then let's accompany Liu Yong to Zhoushan to "go to sea". From the beginning, Liu Yong showed the reason and helplessness that salt farmers from the bottom of society could only cook salt for a living. Salt people have no fields to cultivate, no silkworms to weave, and the source of food and clothing and tax payment can only rely on "prison pot cooking", which is an instrument for cooking sea salt. Hanshu? "Under the Food Loan": "The official and the prison pot." Wang Xianqian added: "This is an official and a salt stove, and the price is set straight, so it is called a prison basin." Liu Yong's first few words suddenly caught our hearts and brought us into the life world of Yandu.
So, is Liu Yong really familiar with the life of Yan Hu, and is his sympathy and pity for Yan Hu true?
Every spring and summer, the tide is full, and the tide retreats to scrape mud into an island. After air drying, salt flavor is added, and the initial irrigation tide slides into brine.
Brine is thick and salty, and firewood goes deep into Wuji Mountain. A leopard can't avoid the tiger's trail. The morning sun rises and the sunset returns.
The shoulder of the ship does not rest, and it is hot in the giant stove. When it burns in the morning and accumulates at dusk, the waves turn into snow.
-Liu Yong's "Boiling Sea Song, Burning House"
Liu Yong completely recorded the production process of sea salt at that time in his poems. After the low tide in spring and summer, the salt people scraped the soil soaked in seawater and piled it up into an "island". After "air drying and sun exposure", the water in the soil gradually evaporates; Then seawater is introduced to dilute the saline soil, so that the salt is dissolved in water and fractionated into brine. Then the salt farmers have to go deep into the forest where tigers and leopards haunt to cut trees and firewood, and then they can "throw the brine into the giant furnace" and "burn it in the morning and evening" and finally make white sea salt. In the meantime, salt farmers not only have to endure the hardships of "scraping mud", "watering tidal waves", "collecting firewood" and "cooking salt", but also "cutting firewood" risks their lives. This snowflake-like sea salt is the fruit of hard work and life of salt people.
Why is Liu Yong so familiar with the life of Yandu?
It turns out that Liu Yong has really been to Zhoushan, worked as an official in Dinghai, Zhoushan, and worked as a salt supervisor in Xiaofeng saltworks. There are historical records, such as Yu Fang Sheng Lan, Four Essentials of Ming Classics, and Bao Li Si Zhi Ming? Guo Chang County Records, Dade Changzhou Records and other documents are recorded. It seems that Song Renzong's thesis has been lifted. He is no longer "singing in shallow water, why should he be famous?" He has been able to pursue his dream of "floating fame" and it has become a reality. Being a salt inspector is a practical career closely related to life.
After the test of hard work and life, can the salt people solve their food and clothing livelihood and change their extremely poor and embarrassed life with these salts? Unfortunately, their fate is no different from that of the snake catchers described by Liu Zongyuan.
Since the brine has accumulated in first frost, it is nothing more than a fake loan to fill the grain. Officially, if you weigh it, you will get a very small value, and one salary will often compensate ten.
There has been no rest since the beginning of the week, and official rent is not forced by private rent. The project of driving wives out of class one by one, although it is a humanoid dish.
-Liu Yong's "Boiling Sea Song, Burning House"
In the whole production cycle from making brine from sea salt to forming salt, salt people rely on borrowing for a living. Salt people can only sell salt to the government, but the government keeps the price of salt very low. The income from selling salt is very small, but borrowing money for ten prices, the official debt and private debt are forced for a while, and the salt households have to borrow money to pay off their debts, which is endless. In order to complete the salt production quota stipulated by the government, salt farmers can only "catch up with their wives and children" to work together, but the result is that everyone is hungry and all are yellow and emaciated. From this perspective, Liu Yong should be more willing to "plead for the people" than "write lyrics".
In Liu Yong's poem "He Tianchong", there is a saying: "Endure floating names and change shallow songs." It seems that his pursuit of elegance is to eulogize lewdness, which he himself admits. However, there is always melodrama in literati's poems. Although the ancient literati were romantic, the lyrics could not be their lifelong career. It's not true that "the name is changed to shallow singing". Now Liu Yong has finally reformed. Song Renzong or his successor also gave him the opportunity to change "evil" and correct himself. Liu Yong went to be a salt inspector. The record in the history books is the first year of Emperor Yangdi (1049). When looking up the historical calendar, Song Renzong's title happened to be "Emperor You". It seems that Song Ren.
Emperor zong changed the golden mouth and jade law, released Liu Yong and gave Liu Yong a chance to live. Look at Song Renzong, the emperor. There are as many as nine light years, such as Tiansheng, Ming Dow and Jingyou. Naturally, he is not a pedantic and rigid person, and it is common sense that he often does something unexpected. He has nine titles and should have been in office for a long time. Check the chronology. It's 42 years. Fortunately, he is not so old-fashioned, otherwise Liu Yong really can only "write words by the book", and he will never succeed and never realize his ambition. It was the opening of Song Renzong's golden mouth that changed Liu Yong's life, let him enter the life of the lower salt households and let Liu Yong experience it personally.
At the same time, the life of salt households has produced sympathy and pity.
Why bother the people who cook the sea? Mothers are rich, but children are not poor. This dynasty lacked everything and hoped to go to the seaside widely.
Armored soldiers will be lost when they are washed out. If you have spare money, you can stop salt and iron. The industry of peace is only salt, which melts summer, commerce and Thursday.
-Liu Yong's "Boiling Sea Song, Burning House"
This is Liu Yong's heavy thinking about society: how hard the salt people work, but they can't eat and wear. How can we make them "rich mothers and rich children" and live a relaxed and leisurely life? Liu Yong believes that the key is to reduce taxes for the seaside people and promote the favor of the court. The specific measures are: the state stops waging war, reduces military expenditure, and makes the finance sufficient, then the tax of salt people can be reduced. Liu Yong believes that as long as the prime minister can be close to the people, the ideal times like Yu Xia, Shang Tang and Zhou Wenwang will reappear.
Liu Yong's "Singing in the Boiling Sea and Gu Tingfang" has completely subverted his image in our hearts. Liu Yong is no longer a romantic genius in our mind, but more like a poet fu who cares about the country and the people in the Tang Dynasty. Genre, it is a Yuefu poem with the words "Min Ye" at the end of the poem title, which is more like the notation under the title of Bai Juyi's "New Yuefu", which reminds people of Bai Juyi's "Selling Charcoal Weng" and is soul-to-soul with the lower classes. In fact, Liu Yong also has that feeling of worrying about the country and the people. The rest of Jiaqing said that Liu Yong "calmed the people" and "people loved it". Liu Yong was the salt supervisor of Xiaofeng saltworks at that time when he wrote "Boiling the Sea Song". From the standpoint, he should stand on the official position to safeguard the interests of the rulers. However, he stood in the position of the salt people in his poems, telling all kinds of hardships and misfortunes of the salt people and pleading with the court to reduce the collection of the salt people. This also confirms that Liu Yong is by no means a faint official who infringes on the interests of the salt people in order to build a "political achievement" project.
When we stand in Xiaofeng Ridge at the top of Dinghai, looking at the sea and beach at our feet, and looking at Xiaofeng Salt Field where Liu Yong worked thousands of years ago, we can't help but feel infinite reverence in our hearts: Liu Yong, who "sings in a low voice", has not lost his conscience as a scholar after all!
