Why did Yang Zhijian write a divorce poem?

Yang Zhijian was born in Fuzhou in Tang Dynasty. He studied quite well, but failed several Jinshi exams. In order to get into Jinshi, he is thirty years old and has never been married.

At that time, during the reign of Kaiyuan Tianbao, when the world was rich and talented, Yang Zhijian became less and less confident in continuing to take the Jinshi exam. He has made up his mind before: don't get married without being admitted to Jinshi! Now I have to give up this idea. There happened to be a beautiful woman near his house, less than twenty years old, who knew books and was polite. Yang Zhijian proposed to someone. Unexpectedly, the beautiful woman agreed, so they got married. After marriage, the wife hoped that her husband would continue to study and take the examination of Jinshi, so Yang Zhijian continued to study and loved his wife tirelessly, and his knowledge also improved greatly. However, fate did not befall him, and he failed to take the Jinshi exam in Beijing again. As the examination funds in Beijing come from land sales, this is a desperate attempt. As a result, the family fortune declined and the wife asked for a divorce.

In the Tang Dynasty, divorce was legal, and it was also legal for women to divorce and remarry. Yang Zhijian had to agree to divorce and wrote a seven-character poem as a divorce document. Poetry cloud:

I made up my mind to be a teacher very early.

Today, I became a silk sideburns.

The camel knows that it is too late to ask for something.

I wasted my life and was born late.

Chai Jin combed her hair at will,

Luan Jing doesn't follow his thrush.

If you go here, you will be a traveler.

Meeting is when you go down the mountain.

Reading this divorce poem makes people feel that the sad Yang Zhijian is in front of them. "At that time, I had long been determined to be a teacher, but today I have become a sideburns." It's been a long time since I wrote about him, his hair turned white and his fame was hopeless. At this time, Yang Zhijian's tragic fate was outlined by "Luotuo knew about it, not as good as seeking it, not as good as life". The result is "Chai Jin teases her hair at will, but Luan Jing doesn't tease it". His beloved wife is leaving, and Chai Jin and Love Song are for beautiful women. His beloved wife teases her hair at will, and the word "new" is bitter, because her wife dresses up to marry someone else, and "Luan Jing is not funny". It can be said that every word is tears. "Luan mirror" is used to stab, and now she pricks for others. Women often use "golden hairpin" and "Luan Jing" as metonymic rhetoric instead of women. Here, Yang Zhijian did not say that his "beloved wife" made new discoveries at will, nor did he say that his "beloved wife" made other thrushes from him. Instead of the beloved wife, Jin Chai and Luan Jing are used, which is the result of the combination of emotion and things. "It's a passer-by here, and it's a mountain when we meet", which is synonymous with "agreeing to divorce as a basis".

Later, Yang Zhijian moved into the army and became a civil servant. Later, he moved to a place and became a Sima in Dingzhou. At this time, he remembered that his ex-wife came to Ding. At this time, although Yang Zhijian was not an official, he saved a lot of money as a small governor and decided to find his ex-wife to remarry. However, ten years later, his wife was married. Yang Zhijian, who is also considered to be "rich enough to go back to his hometown", is full of confidence, thinking that his ex-wife will rekindle the old love when she sees him. However, they meet like passers-by. Although I recited the poem "Going Down the Mountain" written during the divorce, I thought that "returning home with wealth" meant "going down the mountain". However, after going down the mountain, the woman looked at herself and her children in life, and the fire of love could not be lit, so she refused Yang's request.

Yang Zhijian is going crazy. From time to time, he read the poem "Chai Jin teased her new hair, Luan Jing didn't make thrush from him", sighed "Chai Jin" and "Luan Jing" Hu Bugui, and died in a long pain.
