The story between Wen Tingyun and Yu Xuanji
The talent of Yu Youwei attracted the attention of Wen Tingyun, a great poet who was famous in Beijing at that time, so one afternoon in late spring, he made a special trip to look for Yu Xuanji Young Wei. Found the Yu family in a dilapidated courtyard near Pingkangli. Pingkangli is located in the southeast corner of Chang'an. It was a place where prostitutes gathered at that time. Because Yu's father had passed away at this time, the Yu family's mother and daughter could only live here and make ends meet by doing some sewing and bathing work for nearby brothels. sustain life. In the low and dark courtyard of the Yu family, Wen Tingyun met this female poet. Although Yu Youwei was not yet thirteen years old, she was lively and smart, with slender eyebrows, big eyes, and white and tender skin, making her look like a little beauty. Wen Tingyun deeply felt that the little girl's living environment was not commensurate with her talent, and she couldn't help but feel affection for her.
Wen Tingyun tactfully explained the purpose of his visit, and asked Xiao Youwei to compose an impromptu poem, hoping to test her talent and see if she was living up to her name. Xiao Youwei looked very down-to-earth and free from any embarrassment. After inviting the guests to their seats, she stood aside with her big eyes gleaming, waiting for this great poet whom she had heard of for so long to come up with a topic. Wen Tingyun remembered that when he was on the road, he encountered the scene of flying catkins and blowing people's cheeks, so he wrote the three words "Riverside Willow" as the title. Yu Youwei held her chin with her hands and pondered for a while. After a while, she quickly wrote a poem on a piece of flower paper and held it with both hands for Wen Tingyun to review. The poem was written like this:
Green Color Continuous On the deserted bank, smoke enters the distant building;
Shadows cover the spring water, and flowers fall to catch people's heads.
The roots are hidden in fish caves, and the bottom of the branches are tied to passenger boats;
On a windy and rainy night, the frightening dreams add to the sorrow.
Wen Tingyun recited the poems repeatedly and felt that whether it was the choice of words, the rhymes or the artistic conception, it was a rare and excellent work. Such a poem was written by a little girl in an instant, which could not help but impress this talented poet. From then on, Wen Tingyun often went out of the mermaid's house. Guiding poems for Xiao Youwei seems to have become her teacher. Not only does he not charge tuition, but he also helps the Yu family from time to time. His relationship with Youwei is like that of teacher and student, father and daughter, and friends.
Soon after, Wen Tingyun left Chang'an and went to Xiangyang to serve as an aide to the governor Xu Jian. In the cool autumn, when the leaves are falling, Yu Youwei misses her old friends far away, and writes a five-character poem "Send to Fei Qing from afar":
The steps are in chaos and the cicadas are singing, and the smoke in Tingke is clear;
< p>In the middle of the moon, the music is playing nearby, and the sun is shining brightly in the distance upstairs.The cool breeze blows on the pillow, and the ballads and harps are filled with resentment;
Ji Jun is too lazy to write a gift, but the bottom material comforts the autumn mood?
Feiqing is Wen Tingyun's nickname. He was extremely talented but extremely ugly, so people at the time called him "Wen Zhongkui". Maybe it was because of the age difference, or because he was ashamed of himself. Although Wen Tingyun was very fond of Yu Youwei, he always controlled his feelings within the boundaries of teacher, student or friend, and did not dare to take a step forward. Yu Youwei, who had just begun to fall in love, had already secretly attached her love to her teacher. After Wen Tingyun left, she secretly revealed her lonely lovesickness through poetry for the first time. There was no reply from the wild geese, and in a blink of an eye, autumn turned to winter, the sycamore leaves fell, and the winter nights were desolate. Yu Youwei wrote another poem "Winter Nights Send Wen Feiqing".
I searched hard for poems and recited them under the lamp, I stayed up all night long and was afraid of the cold quilt;
The leaves in the courtyard were filled with worry about the wind, and I cherished the setting moon through the screens.
The evacuation is unheard and the wish is finally followed, the ups and downs are empty and the original heart is seen;
The sycamore tree is secluded, and the dusk birds are chirping in the sky.
The girl's grievances are as clear as tears, and how can Wen Tingyun, who has a clear mind like a mirror, not understand her thoughts? If he had responded with tender poems, Yu Youwei might have become Mrs. Wen, but after much thought, he still held on to his previous principles and did not dare to take that sacred step.
In the first year of Xiantong reign of Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, Wen Tingyun returned to Chang'an, hoping to find new development in his official career at the beginning of the new emperor's reign. After not seeing each other for more than two years, Yu Youwei has become a tall, pretty and hair-haired girl. They still communicate with each other on the basis of teacher-student relationship.
One day without incident, teachers and students went to visit the beautiful Chongzheng Temple in the south of the city. They met a group of new scholars competing to write poems and names on the wall of the temple. Their faces were full of spring breeze and they were high-spirited. The fish young Wei on the side was envious. After they finished their questions
Yu Youwei also quietly wrote the next poem Qijue with emotion:
The full moon in the cloud peaks brings out the spring eyes, and the silver hook fingers are born clearly;
p>
I hate myself for covering up my poems with my clothes on, and I raise my head in vain to envy the name on the list.
The first two sentences of this poem are powerful and powerful, and they express her great ambition. The last two sentences have a sudden change of direction, but she hates that she was born as a girl and has no talent. But he can't compete with the men, so he can only feel helpless and empty envy! /s/blog_582d5d2c0100a4u1.html
