Shao (about 860 AD) was born in Wengyuan, Shaozhou, Guangdong. One of the "Five Talents in Lingnan" in Tang Dynasty. Birth and death are unknown every year. Tang Yizong and Xian Tong lived around the beginning of the year. Brief introduction of Shao Ye's life calligraphy stone

In wengyuan county, northern Guangdong, there is a Tang Dynasty cultural site that Wengyuan people are proud of-Shutangshi. The book hall stone is built on an island in the center of the Wengjiang River in Sanhua Town, and its shape is very similar to sailing against the current. Rock strata and rocks overlap on the island, and the rugged stone room of the bookstore leans against the rocks, and the rock walls are staggered and integrated. Although the city wall is broken, its structure is strange, simple and natural, and it stands proudly. As a spectacle, it often attracts past tourists to stop and take pictures. The reason why Wengyuan people are proud of Shutang Stone is not only because of its long history and beautiful scenery, but also because it is the place where Shao Ye, a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty, studied.

Shao Ye, a Hakka poet of the Realistic Poetry School in the late Tang Dynasty, wrote a lot of poems in his life, ten of which are no longer in existence. There are * * * 33 articles in one volume of Complete Tang Poetry alone. Because he has lived in Chang 'an for a long time, he is known as "one of the five talents in Lingnan".

Personal origin

Master Shao was born in poverty, but he was ambitious since childhood. He said, "If my husband is not ambitious, why should he help Gan Kun?" . Revenge needs no sword, no eyes, no soldiers. "I hope to use my talents to serve the imperial court and realize the political ambition of' May you be like Yao and Shun, and the world be at peace'.

According to Records of Shaozhou County in Qing Dynasty and Records of Wengyuan County in Jiaqing Edition in Qing Dynasty, Sir Shao was a county official when he was young. One day. The county magistrate repeatedly told Shao to make the bed for private guests when they visited him. Shao thinks that the county magistrate is intentional. He shouldn't say, "Did I make your bed?" How can a gentleman be your slave? "After hearing this, the magistrate was furious and roared:" The attendants of * * are so bold that they tied up the county government! "So the angel dragged Shao Ye out of the county government. Master Shao was furious, drew a knife and cut off his hair and hung it on the door, swearing: "If you learn, you can't have such hair! "Then shake your arm and leave.

Study hard, study hard.

After leaving the county government, Shao Ye went upstream to the center of Luojiang (now Wengjiang), ten miles away from the county seat, and built a library on the rapids of Zhu Ma Chong. From then on, Shao studied the bun day and night and was too lazy to comb it. The villagers laughed at his dementia, but he didn't think so. He just studies hard.

Where there is a will, there is a way. A few years later, he was proficient in classics and history, especially in ancient music. In the eighth year (AD 866), Xian Tong was recommended to study in imperial academy, the highest institution in Beijing, and became a student in imperial academy. Shao studied hard or studied hard during his stay in Beijing; Or gather friends and gather scholars to recite poems; Or talk about the disadvantages of mocking the present in the past and spend the most carefree time in my life.

Integrity.

Master Shao has been studying in imperial academy for a long time, and all his lovers are celebrities. However, because of his integrity, writing poems and criticizing the current situation, he is not valued by those in power. For example, one of his "On Politics" has "internal affairs are from the abdomen, and foreign affairs are from the monarch; If arm politics is self-taught; Such as the poem "I can't find anything, the ant nest is full of mountains"; Another "Harvest Year" said: "The emperor sent people to worry about the poor and eat poor in the next harvest year. If there is no food, you can get crops. It's too late for a servant to lose his rich family. Do your best to provide food for the rich. Heaven and earth are merciful to the strong. As Huang Zuo, a scholar of Hanlin in the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, said, Shao Ye dared to attack the rulers and the exploiting classes because of his "prickly poetry and current affairs", so he studied poetry and calligraphy diligently, which was "gorgeous in sound" and "unable to compete with the first class".

In the Spring and Autumn Period, imperial academy (a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty) went through many twists and turns to appreciate Shao Ye's talent and sympathize with his unsuccessful experience, so he collected dozens of Shao's poems, such as Sui Feng, Chun Qing, and A Journey to a Cold Woman, which made Shao Ye a scholar.

Introduce several county officials. A guest arrived in a hurry and left without beating the bed to meet him. I cut a bun and hung it on the county gate, so I read angrily. He lives in seclusion by a lake more than ten miles away from the county seat, surrounded by water. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, not be crowned, and wear wild clothes. I study poetry. Tired, I should mention it. I'm thirty years old, and I'm not the first. Xian Tong entered Beijing in the seventh year (AD 866) and was born as a son of the country. When the author tried, he was quite worried and listed as 30 poems, which were widely praised. After Brown was released, I went to the official, and I didn't know what to do. There is a volume of poetry, and the biography of talented people in Tang Dynasty has been handed down from generation to generation.

Shao Ye's poems, Wan Li, dreams, all flesh and blood are in my eyes. I feel so depressed that I don't believe in Chang 'an. Everyone is a farmer, but I often encounter drought alone. Life is bad, like a leak, and Didi is dissatisfied. When the geese end the day, they are heartbroken. -Autumn Night by Shao Ye in Tang Dynasty

Wan Li's dream lies in the eyes of flesh and blood. I feel so depressed that I don't believe in Chang 'an.

Everyone is a farmer, but I often encounter drought alone. Life is bad, like a leak, and Didi is dissatisfied.

When the geese end the day, they are heartbroken. Nine paths in spring. The spring breeze fascinated Luo Qi. Wan rode out of the door and embraced the incense dust. Don't talk about hanging bones, it has been like this for thousands of years. Ann knows who she is today, not the ghost of the past. But looking at swimming on the flat ground, you can also see destruction and death. -Tang Shaoye's Chang 'an Cold Food Chang 'an Cold Food

Nine paths in spring. The spring breeze fascinated Luo Qi.

Wan rode out of the door and embraced the incense dust.

Don't talk about hanging bones, it has been like this for thousands of years.

Ann knows who she is today, not the ghost of the past.

But looking at swimming on the flat ground, you can also see destruction and death. Cold food festival, satirical outing, guqin on wine, new sound on strings. The new sound is difficult to distinguish, and the fingers are deeply resentful. I don't protect myself, just like the wheel at four o'clock. I don't know when it was photographed tonight. Dew drops of hibiscus fragrance, fragrance pin heart also dies. Good times are too late to stay, and residual red remains in the pool. -Tang Shao Ye's "Ancient Yuefu" Ancient Yuefu

Playing guqin on wine makes the strings sound new. The new sound is difficult to distinguish, and the fingers are deeply resentful.

I don't protect myself, just like the wheel at four o'clock. I don't know when it was photographed tonight.

Dew drops of hibiscus fragrance, fragrance pin heart also dies. Good times are too late to stay, and residual red remains in the pool. See more Shao Ye's poems >>
