Gu Kuang (date of birth and death unknown), also known as Bu Weng, also known as Huayang Zhenyi (some say Huayang Zhenyin). In his later years, he called himself Bei Weng, Han nationality, and a native of Haiyan (now in Haining, Zhejiang) during the Tang Dynasty. Poet, painter, and connoisseur of the Tang Dynasty. His official position was not high in his life. He once served as a writer. He offended the powerful by writing poems and ridiculing him, so he was demoted to Sihu of Raozhou and joined the army. In his later years, he lived in seclusion in Maoshan and published "Huayang Collection". Gu Kuang's Story: Characteristics of Red Leaves Poetry
Gu Kuang said in the preface to "Elegy" that poetry is "the experience of rationalizing chaos and the rise of Wang Hua. If you believe in the sound teaching, it will not be a literary talent." "Zhiliye?" emphasizes the ideological content of poetry and pays attention to education. He once imitated the "Book of Songs" and wrote "Thirteen Chapters of the Ancient Shibu Xun Biography". He also imitated the "Small Preface" of the "Book of Songs" and took the first one or two words of the poem as the title to indicate the theme. For example, "囝, lamenting Fujian", "picking wax, complaining about luxury", set a precedent for Bai Juyi's "New Yuefu" to "mark its purpose in the first sentence". His Yuefu poems do not avoid vulgarity, are often acrimonious, and directly reflect reality. "Thirteen Chapters of the Ancient Shibu Xun Zhuan" is his masterpiece, among which "囝" is the most famous. In the Tang Dynasty, officials in central Fujian often used young children as eunuch slaves. The poem exposes the crimes of Fujian officials that harmed the people, which is extremely painful.
Gu Kuang's seven-character song line "The Young Master's Journey" and "Three Poems on the Difficult Journey" expose the luxurious life of the aristocratic children and satirize the foolish behavior of the feudal emperors in pursuing immortality, which is of great practical significance. Another example is "Li Gongfeng Plays the Harvest Song", "Liu Channu Plays the Pipa Song", "Li Huzhou Ruren Plays the Zheng Song", etc., which depict the music very well through rich and vivid metaphors and the rendering of the environment. These poems are rich in imagination, unique in artistic conception, and rich in color. They were the basis of Li He's later singing career. Huangfu Si's "Preface to the Collected Poems of Gu Kuang" said that "he prefers long sentences in leisurely songs, and his horses are vigorous and vigorous. They often seem to penetrate the heart of the sky and rise out of the moon, with unexpected and shocking words, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people." Guan Xiu, a poet monk in the late Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Reading Gu Kuang's Songs" and highly praised his seven-character songs.
Gu Kuang’s Qijue is fresh and natural and full of masterpieces. For example, "Su Zhaoying" satirizes Xuanzong's quest for immortality. "Poems on Leaves Flow from the Garden" and "Palace Ci" describe the sorrow of the maids who were imprisoned in the palace. "Zhuzhi Ci" is a study of Jiangnan folk songs.
Gu Kuang has an article called "Literary Theory", and his argument is similar to that of some ancient writers in the mid-Tang Dynasty, which shows the trend of literary thought at that time. The poem preface he wrote for the poets at that time described the deeds of Tao Han, Liu Taizhen, Zhu Fang, and Chu Guangxi respectively, as well as the compilation of poems and essays, providing literature research materials for later generations. His "Preface to Dai Shi Guangyi's Notes" discusses the legendary works of the Tang Dynasty, such as Tang Lin's "Ming Bao Ji", Wang Du's "Ancient Mirror", etc., which shows that he also attached great importance to the new style of legend at that time. "Fengshi Hearing and Seeing Notes" written by Feng of the Tang Dynasty once recorded that Gu Kuang was good at painting. The miscellaneous art descriptions in the sub-part of "Xin Tang Shu Yi Wen Zhi" include Gu Kuang's "Painting Criticism" in one volume, now lost. Life
Gu Kuang became a Jinshi in the second year of Zhide (757). From the second year of Jianzhong (781) to the second year of Zhenyuan (786), when Han Huang was the governor of Runzhou and the military envoy of Zhenhai, he was called as the judge of the shogunate. In the third year of Zhenyuan, he was recommended by Li Mi and entered the court as the author's assistant. In the fifth year of Zhenyuan, Li Mi passed away, and he was demoted to Raozhou Sihu to join the army in March and April of that year. The reasons for his demotion are said to be that he was "arrogant and ruined the dynasty" (Li Zhao's "Supplement to the History of the Tang Dynasty") and "cannot be obedient and was rejected by the public" (Huangfu Shi's "Preface to the Collection of Gu Kuang's Poems"). When he was passing through Suzhou, he and Wei Yingwu sang poems together. He left Raozhou in about the tenth year of Zhenyuan and settled in Maoshan in his later years. In the 16th year of Zhenyuan, Huangfu Shi once met him in Yangzhou ("Preface to the Collection of Gu Kuang's Poems"). In the sixth year of Dali (771), he served as the Salt Supervisor of Yongjia. He once wrote "The Travels of Immortals", which describes Li Ting in the upper reaches of Feiyun River. He went up the mountain to cut down trees. He lost his way and saw a water offering. There were farmland and spring bamboo. , Guolai, townhouse insurance, more than 300 companies.
Gu Kuang's poems and essays are not about tired horses, but about lost birds in their nests. Floating clouds cover my hometown, and wandering wanderers sing. The wanderer's sorrow has been stagnant for a long time, and the floating clouds are gloomy in the east. There are no tung trees in the living room, and the fallen leaves are like autumn rain. It's hard to be a wanderer in a faraway place, so I am sad and stagnant in lust. The first is floating words, full of anger, who can stop it. Within a hundred years of returning home, I only wish to show my talents. Hu Wei didn't return home, and he sat there until he got sick every year. The frost around the temples is not the burning of the heart. How difficult is it to go to Taihang? Beidou cannot be poured out. The stars come out in the quiet night, Geng Gengchen and Shen. The beauty is in the blue sky, and the ruler is heavier than gold. There are a few people moving around, and all the surrounding forests are silent. On the moss-covered steps, crickets swarm the anvil. There are several mistakes in standing and planning, and the road is dangerous and has no room for needles. If you don't return home for three years, you will leave behind a brocade quilt thousands of miles away. The dream soul has no heavy obstacles, and it is free from worries and ignores the past and the present. Hu Wei did not return to his hometown and failed to live up to the piano in the box. What is that under my waist? I'm looking for it in the wild. During the morning and the famous mountain period, I stayed in the shade of Chu River in the evening. The waters of Chu are rippling, and the famous mountains are rugged. The guest comes from Dongting, and the beauty is deep in Xiaoxiang. Tangerine and pomelo are in the southern country, and the geese leave the sound of autumn. There is a green grass island below and a green orange forest above. Peering into the cave with a candle, Lingbo stares at Tianchen. The shadows of cattails and lotuses are uneven, and the young cranes and ducks are dripping with water. Hao Ge cherishes Fang Du, and distributes light Chinese hairpins. Hu Wei refused to return, and his clothes were stained with tears. The kite flies violently into the sky, and the ants control the beast. The great holy dynasty, the sun and the moon are shining. Although the Holy Lord enlightens, strange people are buried in oblivion. The layers of the city are as high as the clouds, and the royal palace is full of beautiful scenery. The deer croaks and promises abundant grass, and the situation returns to Yu people's admonitions. ——Tang Dynasty·Gu Kuang's "You Zi Yin"
Wandering Zi Yin
Tang Dynasty: Gu Kuang So I don't think about the tired horse, so I think about the lost birds.
Floating clouds cover my hometown, and wandering wanderers sing.
The wanderer's sorrow has been stagnant for a long time, and the floating clouds are gloomy in the east.
There are no tung trees in the living room, and the fallen leaves are like autumn rain.
It is difficult for a wanderer to live far away, so he is sad and stagnant.
The first is floating words, who can stop them if they are angry.
Within a hundred years of returning home, I only wish to show my talents.
Hu Wei did not return to his hometown, and he sat there until he suffered from illness every year.
The frost around the temples is not the burning of the heart.
How difficult is it to go to Taihang? Beidou cannot be poured out.
The stars come out in the quiet night, Geng Gengchen and Shen.
The beauty is in the blue sky, and the ruler is heavier than gold.
The few people are moving around, and all the surrounding forests are silent.
Moss clothes are on the idle steps, and crickets are urging the coldness on the anvil.
A few mistakes were made in establishing oneself, and there was no chance of success.
If you don’t return home for three years, you will leave behind a brocade quilt thousands of miles away.
The dream soul has no obstacles, and it is free from worries and ignores the past and the present.
Hu Wei refused to return to his hometown and failed to live up to the piano in the box.
What is that under the waist? I am entangled and searching for it.
During the period of dynasty and famous mountains, I stayed in the shade of Chu River in the evening.
The waters of Chu are rippling, and the famous mountains are rugged.
The guest comes from Dongting and wanders deeply into Xiaoxiang.
Tangerines and pomelos are in the southern country, and the geese leave the sound of autumn.
There is a green grass island below and a green orange forest above.
Peering into the cave with a candle, Ling Bo stares at Tianchen.
The shadows of cattails and lotuses are uneven, and the young cranes are dripping with water.
Hao Ge cherishes Fang Du and distributes light and elegant hairpins.
Hu Wei refused to return, and his clothes were stained with tears.
The kite flies violently into the sky, but the ants make the beast fly.
The illustrious Holy Dynasty, the sun and the moon are shining.
Although the Holy Lord enlightens, strange people are buried in oblivion.
The layered city ascends to Yunshao, and the palace is full of beautiful scenery.
When the deer croaks and the grass grows rich, the situation returns to Yu people’s admonitions. ▲ Describing scenery, expressing feelings, homesickness, unrequited ambitions, the sound of people crossing the spring in Banqiao, and the cockcrow of the thatched eaves at noon. Don’t be angry when the smoke of roasted tea is dark, but be happy when the sun is shining and the sky is clear. ——Gu Kuang of the Tang Dynasty, "The Farmhouse on the Crossing Mountain"
The Farmhouse on the Crossing Mountain The sound of people crossing the spring in Banqiao, the cockcrow of the thatched eaves at noon.
Don’t hate the dark smoke of roasted tea, but like the sunshine and sunny weather. In the south of the Yangtze River, Changle Palace of Labor in the Mountain Township is connected to Shangyuanchun, and the Jade Tower and Golden Palace are full of beautiful songs. Once you enter the king's gate, there is no way out, only Gong Ying can see people. ——Tang Dynasty·Gu Kuang's "Gong Ci"
Gong Ci Changle Palace is connected to Yuanchun, and the Jade Tower and Golden Palace have new songs.
Once you enter the Junmen, there is no way out, only Gong Ying can see people.
