William Wang, a famous poet, was born in Jinyang (now Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province) in the Tang Dynasty. Mr. Wen Yiduo's Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty set William Wang's date of birth and death as 687-726 AD, but did not provide exact material basis. In the first year of Jing Yun (AD 7 10), he was a scholar. When I was young, I was unruly. I can write my own lyrics and dance. He was respected by the younger generation in the literary world, and Du Fu mentioned him and Li Yong side by side, proud of "William Wang is willing to be a neighbor". His songs are well written. Quatrains are his specialty, and a poem "Liangzhou Ci" pushed him to the peak of Tang poetry. The Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty recorded a volume of his poems.

Wang Han boarded the Jinshi, gave an outspoken suggestion and transferred to Changle. Re-put forward the super-category and call it secretary orthography. "To mind other people's business, to drive others. As Ruzhou with a long history, don't drive in Zhouxian. On the same day, he drank with a gifted scholar and hero, and sat down in Daozhou Sima and died. Most of his poems praise teenagers on the battlefield, exquisite women, singing and feasting. To express his short sigh and broad-minded feelings of eating, drinking and having fun in time. Words are like beautiful clouds, and clouds are magnificent; Siang, like a fairy, is wonderful. His representative works include Two Poems in Liangzhou, A Journey to the Great Wall by Drinking Horses, A Journey to a Woman in Spring, and An Ancient Beauty, among which Two Poems in Liangzhou (Part I) is the most famous. The heroism and sadness revealed in the poem, "Drunk in the battlefield, you don't laugh, and you have fought several times since ancient times", is really soul-stirring, turn over a new leaf and make people listen for three days. The magnificent imagination and kind words full of pearls in the poem "Ancient Beauty" can't help but remind people of the works of Li Bai and Qu Yuan, which is really a touching fairy tale. There are ten volumes in total, and one volume of poetry is preserved today (the first volume of Complete Tang Poetry 156).
When William Wang was young, he was brilliant, brilliant and bold. Tang Ruizong was a scholar in the first year of Jing Yun (7 10). When Zhang was appointed as the secretariat of Bingzhou, she appreciated her talent very much and often treated her with courtesy. Wang Han wrote his own songs and danced with them, which was magnificent and distinguished.
William Wang has a generous personality and often makes friends with literati. In Du Fu's poems, William Wang was praised by the phrase "Li Yong is seeking knowledge, and William Wang is willing to be a neighbor".
His poems are full of heroic and magnificent sentences, but unfortunately many of them have been lost. The most famous masterpiece is his "Liangzhou Ci": "Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink pipa, you will be urged immediately, and you will not laugh when you are drunk in the battlefield. You have fought several wars since ancient times. " Reveal the author's war-weariness and show 1 interest.
Most of William Wang's first ten volumes of poetry are lost.
The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty recorded 14 poems in one volume.
According to two Tang books, William Wang was handsome and uninhibited when he was a teenager. After he became a scholar, he still drank every day. He graduated in Jing Yun's first year (7 10) in Biography of Talented Persons in Tang Dynasty, and graduated from Jing Yun in Vae for two years. Vae's senior high school entrance examination is not unreasonable, and it is regarded by Mr. Fu Xuancong as the first year of Jing Yun in Wang Kao Han Kao, a collection of poets in Tang Dynasty. It is recorded in Biography of the Old Tang Dynasty that after Wang Han ascended the throne, "Zhang, the governor of Bingzhou, was brilliant, deeply impressed by the ceremony, wrote lyrics, sang and danced on the table, and was heroic." Zhang said that the town is to the state, and the ceremony is to the benefit. "Zhang served as the secretariat of Bingzhou for a long time, from the fourth year of Kaiyuan (7 16) to the eighth year of Kaiyuan (720). During this period, he lived in his hometown Taiyuan and was treated by Zhang. After Zhang entered the DPRK, Zhang called her a long-calendar state. Zhang said that in the eighth and ninth years of Kaiyuan, during the history of Governor C, he bluntly remonstrated, overstepped the regimental level and other departments, and was once transferred to Changle County.
In the ninth year of Kaiyuan (72 1), Zhang said that he entered the DPRK as a prime minister. Under the guidance of Zhang, he entered North Korea as a secretary in this year or the first half of the second year and was in charge of Yuan Wailang.
Zhang said that at that time, he was not only a political prime minister, but also an accomplished poet of 65,438 +0, a veteran in the literary world, especially a master of Ci. Because of his introduction, Zhang Jiuling and a group of people often visit us, and among them, they have to associate with famous poets such as Zhang Jiuling.
Wang Han, a poet in Liangzhou, has a rich family background and a bold personality. Later, it was "a famous horse with a prostitute at home" and "made a speech with a sense of self-comparison." Many people are jealous of others. "Therefore, after saying goodbye, it became Ruzhou with a long history and was changed to. Although this happened, after he arrived in Zhou Xian, he still "gathered heroes every day, drummed from birds and enjoyed himself". "So, he was demoted to Daozhou Sima and died on the road before he got to Daozhou. The year of death, according to Fu Xuancong's textual research, was about the Kaiyuan period. William Wang is not proud of his career, but he suffers from his unruly personality. But his personality helps him to become a famous poet 1. His poems are deeply loved by people because of their unrestrained feelings and beautiful words. "Liangzhou Ci" is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation: "If you want to drink pipa, you should rush it immediately. Don't laugh when you are drunk on the battlefield. How many people fought in ancient times! " At that time, Xu Jian, a famous scholar and writer, was hired by Zhang Zhang, and asked Zhang Zhang for his excellent writing style. He said that Wang Hanzhi's pen was like Joan's. "Like other languages, it is also important for people at that time to understand its words. Du Hua was also a scholar born and raised at that time. His mother Cui Shi said, "I heard that Meng Mu moved three times. I want to live in divinity today, which is enough to make you a neighbor of William Wang! "This shows that William Wang was very famous at that time.
Unfortunately, talented poets like William Wang still have 1 people, and their collections have not been handed down. According to the records of Old Tang Shu and New Biography, there are ten volumes of uncollected works in Song Dynasty, but neither Chao nor Chen recorded them. Only 13 poems have been published in the whole Tang poetry.
From the early Tang Dynasty to the prosperous time of Kaiyuan, Liangzhou Ci never stopped invading the Central Plains by border ethnic minorities, and the court had to send X teams to defend against the enemy. In addition to the military attache who led the troops to fight, Team X also needed a group of civil servants to take charge of official duties. As a result, a large number of literati had the opportunity to go to the frontier fortress to fight, and the development of "frontier fortress poetry" was born. According to Du Mu's later poem "Only Liangzhou songs and dances spread among idle people in the world", it can be seen that the poems written by the new Yuefu genre of "Liangzhou Ci" are not limited to William Wang, and many "Liangzhou Ci" written by Wang Changling, Wang Zhihuan, Gao Shi and Cen Can also brought a very exciting new atmosphere to the early Tang Dynasty poetry circle.
As foreign minister, William Wang went to the drive department of the northwest front, which was responsible for transporting horses, hay and other military supplies to the front. Yuan Wailang is a deputy, basically a civilian, and he still has time to write poems when he is not busy. William Wang's song was obviously written from the perspective of a general about to go to war-the general was drinking sweet wine in the hangyuan, but at this moment, the spy suddenly reported that the enemy had arrived. Before he could finish the rest of the wine, the pipa that urged him to play also played. He put down his glass and got on the horse. Now he seems to feel a little drunk and wobbly again. However, before he left, he played a joke on his entourage and said, maybe I was drunk on the battlefield instead of being killed by the enemy. Even so, you can't laugh at me, because few people can come back from that battlefield since ancient times. Yes, this is indeed a humorous brushwork. Shi Buhua of A Qing Dynasty commented on the last two sentences: "It is easy to read sad words, but wonderful to read funny words."
Only 1402 and a half sentences of William Wang's poems have been handed down from generation to generation, and they are included in The Whole Tang Poetry, plus one in The Whole Tang Poetry, that's all. The new and old Tang books say that he has ten volumes of collected works handed down from generation to generation, and no one has seen them since the Song Dynasty. Mr. Fu Xuancong once wrote an article "Wang Hankao". After a long test, he came to the conclusion that "but according to the materials now available, it is impossible to know the exact year of birth and death". He said something else and went over. There were 1 poets in the Tang Dynasty, and we don't know the year of birth and death. The new and old Tang books are also immoral. Everyone's biographies always fail to outline the year of death, especially the year of birth, which is simply pitiful. Not to mention "Biography of Talented Scholars in Tang Dynasty", this aspect is not only rarely written, but even if it is written, many of them are full of mistakes. After all, Xin is from the Yuan Dynasty, which is also difficult for him.
The luminous cup knows William Wang, and it can only be his middle part. Shi Zi, a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, had a bohemian habit when he was a teenager. About 7 10 AD, Jinshi was admitted. At that time, Zhang Shi, the governor of Bingzhou (now Taiyuan), appreciated his talent and was always "very polite" to him. He often feels embarrassed. He wrote many Yuefu songs for this adult Zhang, invited him to eat and drink, and personally sang and danced at the banquet. In fact, there are two purposes, one is to express gratitude, and the other is to show their talents. This move really worked. Even Zhang, who came to Bingzhou at that time to succeed Zhang as a long history, praised his work and greatly appreciated it. Within two years, Zhang said that he had been promoted to the Ministry of War with the doctrine, and he did not forget to be promoted and became a small official minister with the doctrine. Not long after, I found another opportunity and suddenly promoted him to the general manager of Qipin. Three years later, he was promoted to be a five-product driver.
At that time, it was said that powerful people were in charge of Jixian Academy and attached importance to "people who studied Ci", so Zhang Jiuling, Li Yong, Zhao Dongling and others often gathered around him, and naturally they were among them. They were actually close groups of literati and bureaucrats at that time. They once arranged a seat for the literary world, selected more than 100 people, and divided them into 9 grades. Then they put the list in the form of posters. Tens of thousands of people came to see it. Guess what, the result is that everyone is "gnashing their teeth". Why? Because it is unfair, people like Zhang Shuo, Li Yong, William Wang and so on. They are all in the first category, but many recognized outstanding talents and celebrities are excluded from the list. It can be seen that this matter is very annoying. It is said that William Wang was very rich at that time, with several famous horses and a dozen geisha at home. He drank a lot all day, gambled a lot of money, pretended to be a prince, and was arrogant for a while.
However, since he was promoted by Zhang, he was unfortunately demoted, followed by Zhang's successive demotions. Zhang said that after being demoted to prime minister, he was demoted to six items of Ruzhou secretariat and sent to Yuzhou. It didn't take long to see that demotion was not enough, and then it was reduced to six levels. When William Wang arrived, he broke the jar and broke it. Every day, he invites a group of literati from five places to get together, hunting and singing. He is very unhappy. Famous Confucian classics such as Zuyong and Hua Du were also his guests. Cui Shi, Hua Du's old mother, is especially envious of William Wang, who is rich and talented. She often says to her son, "I've heard the story of three moves in ancient Meng Mu. Now I think we should move in next door to William Wang. As long as you can be with William Wang, my heart will be relieved. " Listen, what happened? It's not good to be a neighbor with anyone, so I prefer William Wang. In this way, others can reflect their opinions to the court. As a result, William Wang was demoted to Daozhou Sima and was immediately sent from Henan to Hunan. After that, William Wang's life and death were unknown, and there was no news.
