During that period, a large number of outstanding poets appeared. Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, Wang Changling, Gao Shi, Cen Can and so on. They all wrote one classic poem after another like gods. He made great contributions to China culture.
Poetry comes from life. If you want to write a poem with a soul, you must experience it yourself and fight for the world like Li Bai. Sitting in a pub in Chang 'an, he can write "Oh, let a man with spirit take risks where he likes", but he can't write "Flying down 3,000 feet", and Du Fu can't write "Leaves fall like the waves of a waterfall, and I watch the long river always roll forward" until he reaches the Yangtze River. Not to mention Wang DOG's "lonely smoke in the desert, the long river sets the yen".
Poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty are called the most romantic poets by us. Because they are bold and unrestrained, they travel as soon as they get engaged, just like Li, Du and Gao's pathfinding trip. They are romantic and cool, and our descendants read their poems well. But who would have thought that behind these romantic poets, there are a group of women living alone in empty boudoir. In that era when there were no planes and bullet trains, how long did it take to go to the desert to watch Lonely Smoke Straight? When the poet was romantic, these "unsung heroes" took care of the elderly and children at home and propped up a sky by themselves. They are all silently contributing to realize their men's dreams.
The poets in Wang Changling's in my heart forever are immortal, and all people worship and admire them. And those who live alone in an empty boudoir silently support them behind their backs and achieve them. The other half of the sky, we don't even know their names. I mean, they're great, too
Fortunately, Wang Changling's Forever in My Heart reminds us of the "lovely" women behind the poet.
Wang Changling, a famous frontier fortress poet, had been to the northwest frontier fortress before boarding the embankment, and personally experienced the sufferings of the frontier fortress. What's more, he not only saw the sufferings of border guards. Through the border guards, I thought of my wife and children waiting for the triumph in my hometown. Wang Changling wrote this famous in my heart forever from the perspective of a lonely wife.
A young woman in the boudoir will never be sad; Spring came dressed up and boarded Chui Building alone.
Suddenly I saw the green willows, and I felt uncomfortable; Oh, I regret that I shouldn't have asked my husband to find Hou Feng.
For the sake of her husband's ideal of making contributions, they live alone in their empty boudoir, suffering from lovesickness and always worrying about her husband's safety. Wang Changling vividly described the contradiction between them from "not knowing their worries" to "repenting to teach their husbands to seek titles".
Every time I read this poem, I think of another famous frontier poet, Cen Can. I feel that this song "in my heart forever" seems to be tailored for Cen Can.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Cen Can joined the Great Wall for six years, although its national strength was strong. However, foreign enemies such as Tubo have never stopped harassing the border of Datang. So at that time, many ambitious men chose to join the army expedition, hoping to make meritorious deeds and compete for fame. Tubo is a strong rival of Datang and has been harassing the northwest border of Datang. So Anxi Prefecture (now Xinjiang) became the first choice for people to join the army.
Cen Can is one of these people with lofty ideals. Cen Can was born in a prominent family, but his family declined because his ancestors participated in the political struggle. Cen Can was determined to revive his family style since he was a child, and once wrote the famous "Feeling Old Fu" for the official. Although he was admitted to a scholar at the age of 30, he has been doing nothing in officialdom. In desperation, Cen Can chose to go to Anxi, hoping to come through military service.
He joined the army twice and served for six years. From the eighth year of Tianbao (A.D. 749) to the tenth year of Tianbao (A.D. 75 1 year), I was first appointed as the secretary of the Gao Xianzhi shogunate. It has been three years since we were in Anxi four towns. The second time, from the thirteenth year of Tianbao (AD 754) to the second year of Zhide (AD 757), I was appointed as a judge of Anxi North Court for another three years.
For his ideal, Cen Can abandoned his wife and children and went to the Great Wall. In "the north wind rolled white grass and blew them to pieces, and eight In the snow crossed the Tatar sky." In such a bad environment, he struggled hard, hoping to win the military and return to his hometown. He is lonely, and the thoughts of his family have been tormenting him. Cen Can has a famous poem "Greeting the Messenger of the Capital".
The distance from the east home is very long, and the tears are wet and the sleeves are still flowing.
I'll meet you immediately, without paper and pen. Please tell my family that I'm safe.
This poem expresses the loneliness beyond the Great Wall. When people return to Chang 'an, they feel homesick when they see their fellow villagers, and their tears can't be wiped away. There is no pen and paper, so I can only let him take a message home and say that he is still safe. It can be seen that under the communication conditions at that time, the long-term separation between the two places was a painful thing.
To say bitter, the most bitter thing is that Cen Can's wife stayed in Chang 'an. It's really not easy for a woman to live in Chang 'an alone with her children. In today's words, no one changed the broken light bulb. Of course, there were no light bulbs to change at that time. Cen Can has been away for several years. She has to take care of her family, educate her children and worry about her husband's safety. In the dead of night, I was alone in the empty boudoir. That kind of mental and physical torture, that kind of suffering is unbearable for ordinary people.
However, as a woman, as the wife of an ambitious man. She has been silently enduring all this, and she is willing to pay more for her husband to realize his ideal.
This is the woman behind Cen Can, and I think she should be respected by everyone, just like Cen Can.
Li Bai's participation in his wife's long-term separation between the two places is for ideals and for serving the country. We can still understand him. But Li Bai is because of his hobby. He likes to travel and enjoy the life of a knight errant. Perhaps this is what poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty called romance. His trip is always about leaving.
Li Bai received a letter from Jingxian County in southern Anhui. The letter said: "I heard that Mr. Wang likes to play. We have ten miles of peach blossoms here. Do you know that Mr. Wen likes drinking? We have ten thousand hotels here. I wonder if Mr. Wang is interested in visiting Jingxian County in southern Anhui.
When Li Bai saw that there were 10,000 hotels in the letter, he couldn't wait to pack his bags, picked up his sword and left. This is Li Bai, a poet who traveled all over the country and claimed to be the most wasteful poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Of course, it is precisely because of Li Bai's character that he became a great poet. During this trip, Li Bai wrote a famous poem called To Wang Lun.
Li Bai was just about to leave when he heard a farewell song from the shore.
Even if the Peach Blossom Pond is deep, it is not as deep as Wang Lun's sending away my love.
Li Bai's life footprint covers 18 provinces, 206 counties, more than 80 mountains and more than 60 rivers and lakes. How much time did Bai have to stay at home and travel around these places in that era when horses, boats and legs were used together? The only time Li Bai stopped was when he worked as an academician in Chang 'an for two years. Except these two years, he has been on the road all his life.
Let's take a look at the footprints of Li Bai's life. It can be said that how many people have been to so many places by plane and high-speed rail today? On the other hand, Li Bai spent several days with his wife in his life.
What's more, he has married four wives in his life. It is conceivable that almost all his children were brought up by his wife alone.
Hao's preface to the collection: "Bai married Xu and gave birth to a daughter. The man was called a slave, and the woman married and died. It is also suitable for Liu and Liu's plan. The second time, I married a woman from Lu, and her son was quite Li. I finally married Song. "
Especially the third wife, after he returned the money, he traveled with Du Fu and Gao Shi. In 745 AD, Li Bai was appointed as a city in Shandong and married a local woman. This wife of Li Bai gave birth to a son, and Li Bai bought a lot of land and real estate in Yanzhou, Shandong. After that, he gave all these land and real estate to his wife during his wandering life. It's a pity that this wife died five years after their marriage. Li Bai arrived in Yue Zhong in the sixth year of Tianbao (AD 747) and returned to Luzhong in AD 750. In other words, after they got married for more than a year, Li Bai left, and when Li Bai came back, his wife had died.
This is the woman behind the romantic poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. They are responsible for giving birth, taking care of children, looking after the house, missing day and night, and staying alone in the empty boudoir. Who can say that behind the fame of these great poets, there is no credit from their wives?
Summary Because of their diligence and virtue, because of their understanding, because of their selfless dedication, those romantic poets have no worries. Only by concentrating on realizing your dreams can you become a great poet.
They are really "the most lovely and respectable" people. They bear the loneliness that others can't imagine, but they have made the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty romantic.
Like Cen Can and Li Bai, they have been separated from their wives for a long time. If it is in modern times, in popular parlance, it is called licensed netizen. What is a licensed netizen? I got a marriage certificate, but I haven't seen you for a long time, so I can only contact you through the internet, just like netizens who can't meet. I think this name is very vivid.
But in their age when there was no communication, what was it called to be apart for so long? I think of a word, spiritual sustenance. Without communication, they have not seen each other for years. They have psychological and spiritual sustenance. What's the point of their marriage?
Speaking of which, there is another unavoidable topic, that is "sex". Sociologists say that if there is no physical illness or accident between husband and wife, but there is no tacit sexual life for more than a month, it is a asexual marriage. One month is called asexual marriage, and they are often several years. They can only say, "The baby has suffered!"
Mencius on a High Attitude is full of food, color and sex.
Ancient sages said that appetite and sexual desire are human nature. Sexual life is an indispensable part of married life. A normal adult, regardless of whether men or women have no sexual life for a long time, not only has an impact on psychology, but also on the body. Moscovitz, an expert from new york University Medical Center, affirmed the efficacy of sex. He said that no matter what symptoms you have, perfect sex life will have a healthy impact on you.
Therefore, we should pay tribute to these women who have given their lives silently and dedicated their youth.
Conclusion In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, many women lived such a lonely life. Du Like is Du Fu's wife, and Du Fu and his wife often live apart. Du Fu has a famous poem Moonlit Night:
In Fuzhou, far away, she is looking at the moonlight, looking at it alone from the window of her room.
For our boys and girls, poor little baby, too young to know where the capital is.
Her cloudy hair is sweet with mist, and her jade-white shoulders are cold in the moonlight.
When can we lie on the screen again and look at the bright light and stop crying? .
As can be seen from the poem, the lovesickness between husband and wife is separated. And those frontier poets who have been separated from their wives for a long time.
It is said that poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were romantic, and it really happened. But their romance is based on the loneliness of their wives. It is the sky behind them that makes them romantic.
