Cen Can (about 7 15 ~ 770) was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Originally from Nanyang (now Henan), he moved to Jiangling (now Hubei). Great-grandfather Cen Wenben, great-grandfather CenChangQian and uncle CenXi all became prime ministers by pen and ink. Father CenZhi, official to jinzhou secretariat. Cen Can 10 years old, his father died, and the family became more and more difficult. He studied hard and read the classics. When I was 20 years old, I went to Chang 'an, offered books for official positions, and went to Beijing, Luoyang and Heshuo. In the third year of Tianbao (744), he was a scholar and was authorized to lead the government soldier Cao to join the army. Before that, he wrote "Feeling Old Fu", describing the decline of family background and personal frustrations. In the eighth year of Tianbao, I served as the secretary of the shogunate of Gao Xianzhi, our ambassador to Anxi four towns. When he went out for the first time, he was full of ambition to serve his country. He wants to explore the future in the army, but he is not satisfied. After ten years in Tianbao, he returned to Chang 'an, and after thirteen years with Du Fu and Gao, he served as a judge of the Northwest Hospital of An, and once again went to the frontier fortress to make contributions to the country. Most frontier fortress poems became famous at this time. In the Anshi Rebellion, Cen Shendong returned to the king of Qin, and Du Fu recommended him as the right vacancy. He was appointed as a living person in the second year (759) because of his "diligent seal, which is called Syria's right" (Preface to Duque Cen's History Poetry). In less than a month, it was reduced to the history of the governor. Later, he was appointed as prince Zhongyun, doctor of secrecy department and doctor of treasury, and was called "Cenjiazhou" because he was a historian. After he was dismissed from office, Dongfang did not return, and he made a self-mourning for "Zhao Bei Cowen". The guest died in Chengdu Guest House.
Most of Cen Can's early poems are about scenery, lyricism and confusion, among which there are many excellent works about scenery. These poems are often famous for their beauty, and their poetic styles are close to those of Xie □, Wu Yun and He Xun, each with its own characteristics. Such as "Lonely Qingxi, Empty Danzao House" ("Looking for Shao Shi Zhangshan People"), "Rain falls on Nanxi, and the lonely peak goes out of the East Gate" ("Mountain Peak Cottage"), which leads to elegance. As for "the mountain wind blows the empty forest, whispering seems like someone" (walking in late autumn), "the long wind blows the white grass, and the wild fire burns the mulberries" ("To the Girder, I send it to the Lord of Kuang"), it is even more "the language is strange, and the meaning is also strange" (Yin □ "He Yue Ji"). Du Fu once said, "All Cen Can brothers are curious" (Poor Travel). After the failure of "Twenty-year-old Shuque" in seeking an official position, his poems are not only more remarkable in language and implication, but also more sorrowful and indignant, lamenting poverty and meanness.
Cen Can went to the fort twice in middle age. "Tired and glorious curtain, pommel horse dust more than ten years, very want to leave. The castle is blocked by the city, and there is no exception. " (biography of Tang caizi). The theme of poetry is unprecedented and the style has changed greatly. Magnificent colors became the basic tone of his frontier poems. For example, Shu Dao Ji and Song of Luntai praised Feng Changqing's meritorious military service and Tang Jun's bravery, and used imagination and exaggeration to blend the frontier with the drastic changes of nature and the huge marching scene, which gave people a deep impression. Cen Can's frontier poems not only describe military actions, but also describe volcanic clouds and snow in Tianshan Mountain, the heat of hot sea water, the strange cold of vast sea water and the land swept by the north wind.
Yellow sand goes straight into the sky. Sometimes, the author combines these strange scenery with the daily life of the military camp, giving people a feeling of vitality, the most representative of which is Bai Xuege. In addition, he also wrote about the customs and customs of the frontier fortress, the friendly coexistence of people of all ethnic groups, the homesickness of defenders and the grievances of soldiers, which greatly expanded the creative theme and artistic realm of frontier fortress poems.
In his later poems, although he still showed his ambition to serve the country, when he could not realize it, he tended to be depressed and no longer had the spirit he had before. "Since the outbreak of the war, I feel the world is narrow" ("Xishu Hostel sent a comment on the old friend Lu Di in the DPRK"), and when I was hurt, I felt helpless and groaned, which is a portrayal of this mentality. After entering Shu, the scenery in Shu certainly added the magnificent features of his landscape poems, but his seclusion thought also developed in his poems.
The main ideological tendency of Cen's poems is the heroic spirit of generosity to serve the country and the optimistic spirit of being fearless of difficulties. Its artistic features are majestic, imaginative, colorful and unique. He is good at seven-character poems, depicting magnificent frontier scenery with ballads, and making contributions to the prosperity and development of Tang poetry.
Thirty years after his death, his son Cenzuogong collected his legacy and ordered Du to compile eight volumes of Cenjiazhou Poems, which was the beginning of the compilation of Cenzuogong's poems. The Song Dynasty evolved into three versions: 8 volumes, 7 volumes and 10 volumes. The song dynasty 10 volume was not handed down today. The popular tetralogy is copied into seven volumes, which seems to have evolved from the seven volumes of the Song Dynasty. It seems that the four-volume version of Complete Tang Poetry evolved from the eight-volume version published in the Song Dynasty. Today, Chen Tie Min and Hou have participated in several versions of Notes of Cen Can Collection.
Cen Can's deeds can be found in Du Que's Preface to Cenjiazhou Collection, Chronicle of Tang Poems and Talented Persons of Tang Dynasty. Lai wrote Chronology of Cen Can, Wen Yiduo wrote Textual Research on Cenjiazhou Chronology and Li Jiayan wrote Censhi Chronology.
"A song of white snow sends Tian Shuji Wu home" Tang
The north wind swept across the earth and messed up Pennisetum, and the weather in August will be covered with heavy snow. Suddenly, like a night wind blowing, like a pear tree in blossom.
Snowflakes fell into the curtains and wet them. The fur was not warm and the gold cup was too thin. The general used cold hands to protect his hands. The armored steel was too cold to wear.
The desert freezes over/kloc-0.000 feet, with a crack, and the sky is full of darkness and melancholy. In the manager's account, this wine is a farewell party, and the Huqin Pipa flute ensemble adds luster to this entertainment.
In the evening, in front of the headquarters gate, heavy snow fell, the red flag froze, and the wind could not drag. Luntai East Gate, welcome to the capital. Go, the mountain road is covered with snow.
I haven't seen you in the winding mountain road, leaving only a row of horseshoe prints.
