Poetic Features of Female Poets in Tang Dynasty

Ye Li, Xue Tao, Yu Youwei and Caichun Liu are four famous female poets in the Tang Dynasty.

The following information comes from the official forum of South-Central University for Nationalities.

Caichun Liu's poems can't be found, except that she is about fifteen years younger than Xue Tao. When Xue Tao was forty-one, he had close contact with Yuan Zhen in Shu. A few years later, Yuan Zhen moved to eastern Zhejiang, abandoned the "female-based school" and fell in love with Caichun Liu, a 25-year-old stunning local geisha. The first three are talented women in the Tang Dynasty, and their poems are not inferior to those of a man. Their looks are unparalleled, but their temperament is puzzled or even despised by future generations. In the Tang dynasty, when the social atmosphere was relatively open, they also provoked a lot of discussions.

Ye Li

(? -A Zuoyu, whose real name was Ji Lan (Taiping Guangji Lan Xiu), was born in Wucheng (now Xing Wu, Zhejiang Province), later a female Taoist priest and a famous poetess in the middle Tang Dynasty. He was called into the palace in his later years and was executed by Dezong in 784 AD.

She is handsome and talented. She has shown a gift for poetry since she was a child, and she is quite talented. When I was six years old, I wrote a poem about roses. There were two lines: "I didn't stand up when I was old, but my mood was chaotic." Her father thought it was nameless, which was homophonic with "marry". At an early age, she knew that the woman to be married was confused and afraid of losing her virginity when she grew up.

After getting married as a female Taoist, she made many poets and praised them. She is handsome in appearance, obsessed with calligraphy, romantic in nature, elegant and playful, good at playing the piano, especially good at meter. Lu Yu (Hung-chien), a famous writer at that time, and Shi Jiao Ran, who was detached from the secular world, were very compatible with her, and Liu Changqing, a famous poet, was also closely related to her. She also hit it off with Zhu Fang, Han Pei, Yan Bojun, Xiao Shuzi and others. Among them, poems such as "Farewell" and "Send Yan Twenty-six to Shan County" swept away the shyness of female writers and frankly socialized men and women, which is rare in thousands of years of history. During the Tianbao period, Xuanzong heard that she had a talent for poetry and specially called her to Beijing to enter the palace. At that time, she had entered her twilight years and was living in the famous Huadu Guangling. After receiving the order, I had to go north. She has seven methods, "Enming remembers the old friend of Guangling" ("Summary of the General Catalogue of Sikuquanshu"), which seems to lack basis. ) a poem.

Ye Li's poems are good at five words, and he won an award for his works. Li Jilan's poems should be the best among the female poets in the Tang Dynasty. She hit the nail on the head with a poem about husband-wife relationship:

From near to far, Qingxi from deep to shallow.

As high as tomorrow, the closest relatives are husband and wife.

There is also a song "Acacia", which gives all the acacia in the world!

Human nature is deeper than the sea, less than half of lovesickness,

The sea is still limited, and acacia is boundless.

Carrying the piano to the tall building, the building is full of empty moonlight,

Playing acacia, the string broke for a while.

Lu Yu is just her confidante. She should like their other friend, a poet, a monk and a clever girl better. No matter how good she and Lu Yu are, it's not just a friendship on the scene, but they really appreciate each other. Once, Sister Li was seriously ill, and Lu Yu rushed to visit her when she heard the news. Sister Li was very grateful for this and wrote a poem. Besides this Jiao Ran, some people say that he is the tenth grandson of Xie Lingyun, but the Xie family in Chen Jun was exterminated at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Anyway, Sister Li often wrote poems to imply his gentleness at first, but Jiao Ran was deeply moved and wrote a poem "Answer" to express her feelings: "The goddess came to try and dyed flowers; I can't stand Zen, and I still hold presbyopia. " Sister Li also knows many poets, so I won't write if I don't know much about them. There is a dirty joke about Liu Changqing: at a friend's party, the poet Liu Changqing got a strange disease that he was embarrassed to say-"gloomy disease", which is also called hernia in modern medicine. Li Jilan actually smiled and asked in front of everyone with Tao Yuanming's famous sentence: "I heard that you are getting better every day?" Liu Changqing smiled and held up his swollen and drooping abdomen with a cloth bag. He also read Tao Yuanming's poem and replied, "Yes, I am' a hundred birds are happy'." Thirty years later, Sister Li's contacts became more and more extensive, from princes and nobles to monks and hermits. Even Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty heard about it and invited her to meet him. Although the monarch and his subjects saw her particularly touching in her later years, everyone addressed her as "Junwan (a beautiful old woman)". Unfortunately, I took the wrong side in the war and was chosen by Tang Dezong. I'm tired of fame!

Chen, a poet in Song Dynasty, recorded a volume of "Li Jilan Collection" in "Jie Zhi Zhai Problem", which has been lost today, with only 16 poems left.

Liu Changqing appreciated Ye Li's poems very much and called her "a poetess among girls". Gao Zhongwu commented: "There are hundreds of scholars, but women are only four virtues. Ji Lan is not. The modeling is feminine and poetic. From Bao Zhao, it is rare. " She is also said to be "lacking in high-class ladies (Jieyu) and more vulgar than Han Ying (Lan Ying). Not late, but also handsome. "

Xue Tao

(770-832), the word Hong. Father Xue Yun is a small official in Kyoto, who lived in Chengdu after the Anshi Rebellion. Xue Tao was born in Dali, Tang Daizong for three years. Xue Tao showed extraordinary talent when he was young, and he could write poetry at the age of eight. His father once wrote two poems on the theme of "Chanting Wu Tong": "The court is divided into an ancient tong, towering into the clouds"; Xue Tao replied: "Branches welcome birds in the north and south, and leaves supply air." . Xue Tao's duality seems to foretell the fate of her life. At the age of fourteen, Xue Yun died, and Xue Tao and his mother Shi Pei lived alone. Because of his extraordinary beauty, excellent poetry and temperament, Xue Tao began to entertain guests in Happy Valley, which was called "poetry".

By the time Xue Tao was 65,438+05,65,438+06 years old, her fame had spread far and wide. Wei Gao, the envoy of our sword in Xichuan, noticed her talent and ordered her to write poems and drink. Although she is a geisha-it seems that this official prostitute in the Tang Dynasty mainly sells talents, which is a bit more solemn than people like Yu and Yu. I don't know why I angered Wei Gao and was exiled to Songzhou, a border area of Sichuan. It's remote and desolate here. The clever Xue Tao wrote ten poems on the road and gave them to Wei Gao. These ten poems compare themselves to dogs, pens, horses, parrots, swallows, pearls, fish, eagles, bamboo and mirrors, and compare Wei Gao to the owner, hands, stables, cages, nests, palms, pools, arms, pavilions and platforms on which he relies. It is only because dogs bite relatives and friends, pens run out, famous ponies surprise Yu Lang, parrots open their mouths, swallow mud and sweat pillows, pearls are slightly flawed, fish play hibiscus, eagles rush into the clouds, bamboo shoots drill through walls, and mirrors fall off dust, which causes their owners' unhappiness and disgust. This is the famous "Ten Steps". Wei Gao was reluctant after all and was soon transferred back. However, after this experience, Xue Tao saw his identity and situation clearly. As soon as she came back, she redeemed herself from Le Shu, moved to Huanhuaxi, and began to perform another unique skill-papermaking. She soaked and mashed Rouge wood, a specialty of Leshan, into slurry, added mica powder, and infiltrated the water in Yujin well to make red stationery with pine flowers on it, which was used to copy her poems. The world says that "Southern Classics, Xiangru Fu, Ban Guwen, History, Xue, You Juntie, Shaoling Poetry, Dharma Painting, Qu Sao" is a must in ancient and modern times.

After Wei Gao, the total time we spent in Bo became eleven, and it has become an official practice that everyone must visit Xue Tao when he takes office. At that time, many famous gifted scholars sang with Xue Tao's poems, such as Bai Juyi, Niu Sangru, Ling Huchu, Zhang Ji, Du Mu, Liu Yuxi and Zhang Hu. It is said that because of Xue Tao, every time a poet writes a poem, he first shows it to the emperor and second shows it to Xue Tao. Because the emperor is the embodiment of male power, and Xue Tao is the spokesman of femininity. However, at the age of 42, Xue Tao fell in love with 365,438+0-year-old Yuan Zhen, the shameless literati who abandoned his cousin and wrote this passage as a true story. This gorgeous love between brother and sister (I didn't know at that time that rice caused the gossip to fly everywhere, but the love between the front line and the Philippines was still so sensational after more than a thousand years) lasted for one year until Yuan Zhen left Chengdu and returned to Beijing. When leaving, Xue Tao wrote a poem "Farewell to Friends": The water country is frosty at night, the moonlight is cold, and the mountains are pale. Who says a thousand miles from today, just one dream? When Xue Tao deeply missed Yuan Zhen, he was in full swing with young and beautiful Caichun Liu-this mm was later hurt even more. What is rare is that Xue Tao has maintained her usual shrewdness and alertness. Seeing that Yuan Zhen's bald head was hopeless, she stopped pestering and went on with her life with peace of mind. This is the real ice-snow smart woman, who can judge the situation and be independent.

Xue Tao's poetry anthology:

Jingwuyin

Except for an ancient tung tree, the courtyard rises into the clouds. (father cloud sentence)

The branches welcome birds from north to south, and the leaves are sent with the wind. (Tao sentence)

Yuanyangcao

Young English is full of fragrance, but lovers are small.

But the entertainment of spring is long, regardless of the early autumn wind.

Send a friend away

The water town is frosty at night, the moonlight is cold and the mountains are gray.

Who says a thousand miles from today, just one dream?

Wang Jianyou praised his talent in poetry:

Wan Li Qiaobian girls' school books, closed doors loquat flowers.

It's better to lead the spring breeze than to sweep your eyebrows.

-Wang Jian's "Send Xue Tao to proofread the book in Shu"

Fish young Wei is human.

(about 844- about 87 1 year) was born in Chang 'an (now Xi City, Shaanxi Province). She is the daughter of a citizen, beautiful and charming, intelligent in nature, quick in thinking, fond of reading and literature. At the age of fifteen, she was accepted as a concubine, and she was very affectionate with Li, but her wife was jealous. When Tang Yizong was in Xian Tong, Lucy li sent her to become a monk, and she was regarded as a female Taoist in Xian Yi, Chang 'an. But she was infatuated with Li and wrote many poems to commemorate him. She once roamed Jiangling, Hanyang, Wuchang, Echuan, Jiujiang and other places to mourn; I also indulged my feelings for my bosom friend.

When he was young, he was famous for his talent. Wen specially came to the mean lane to meet this poetic boy who was less than thirteen steps away. He wrote the examination questions of "Willows by the River", and You Wei wrote the five-law response of "Roots and old branches are at the bottom of the boat". Wen was shocked and vaguely saw through the young man's fate: "passenger ship" may mean that she is bound to treat people with color.

Li Zhi and Xue Tao, two talented women in the Tang Dynasty, are both famous for their poems. When Li Zhi was five or six years old, he wrote a poem in the yard, chanting roses: "I haven't stood up yet, and my mood is very chaotic." Her father said angrily, "This must be a cheating woman!" " "After that, as he said. Xue Tao's story is even more famous. She knew the melody when she was eight or nine years old. Her father pointed to the phoenix tree in the well and recited a poem: "The imperial court divided an ancient phoenix tree and soared into the clouds. Tao Tao Jr. replied, "The branches welcome birds from the north and the south, and the leaves come with the wind." . "It also made her father sad for a long time. These three women eventually became prostitutes in different forms. Early poetry has indeed become a prophecy of their fate. In fact, Li Qingzhao is almost the only famous poetess who is a good woman in history.

Wen Tingyun didn't marry Yu Youwei after all. The talented Ugly Zhong Kui didn't have the courage to accept a girl's feelings. Since then, they have always adhered to the relationship between teachers and friends. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, Yu Youwei married Lucy li, the official department minister. It's a pity that Lucy li's wife, Shi Pei, was born in a noble family and had no room for small fish, so she kicked You Wei out of the house and became a Taoist in Chang 'an Xianyi Pavilion, and her name became a mystery. At that time, Yu Cai 17 years old.

In the previous novel scripts, the general Taoist temple was dedicated to those who saw through the world of mortals, while the Taoist temple for nuns was dedicated to the escape or refuge of infatuated women. However, Taoism in the Tang Dynasty played another function: deceiving people. Like Princess Yu Zhen and Princess Jin Xian, the sisters of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, they both established their own Taoist views, because monks can pay their romantic talents more freely. Since then, brothels here are not like brothels, and Antang is not like Antang. Wu Zetian and Yang Yuhuan just re-entered the palace under the guise of becoming monks. These princesses' concubines entered Taoism to cultivate the truth, which inspired a group of intellectual women such as Li Yedao, Lu Meiniang, Zhuo Yingying, Yang, etc. They all wrote many good poems here, and at the same time held up the boundless spring scenery in Taoism. Pan Suiming, a sexologist, said in his book Being and Absurdity: "Nuns generally have nothing to do with men, but because of this, they are actually just virginity vases in male society, which makes men feel how perfect the world is. After all, there are some virgins who keep their virginity for us to worship and sometimes steal things from us. " Put on the Taoist robe, the girl in the Taoist temple becomes the last sexual fantasy object of men.

I don't love, but although I am the number one scholar, my personality and talents are all inferior, and my heart is dead. "It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, but it is difficult to have a lover." This poem is a watershed in her life: from narcissism and self-pity to self-destruction. Eat, drink and be merry. Nobody is worth missing.

Yan's advertisement of "Teaching by Poetry" really attracted many talents. The literati who made friends with Yu are: Li Ying, Wen, Li, Li Zhi, etc. I have never been so free: she can entertain guests with feasts and revels, and if she doesn't like them, she can kick them out. Yu's vividness, image, ferocity and talent fascinated the whole Chang 'an, and all the men were in her hands. At that moment, she was the queen of erotic world. Everyone knows that Yu is a famous slut. However, isn't there a long line in front of her Taoist temple? No wonder she laughed loudly and felt that all men without careers in the world should be treated as mud on their feet. However, apart from being wild and arrogant, she saw her humility in her poems: once she lost her pursuers and admirers, she would have nowhere to run. While the appearance is still beautiful, mold spots have begun to appear in my heart and spread. It's not that she doesn't know this. Just like Lin Xianer, the first beauty in Wulin, at the age of 24, everyone could see that she was old.

Jade killed Green Joe because she was jealous of her maid Green Joe. When interrogating her, it was Pei Cheng who chased her and was kicked out of the house. Was beheaded at the age of 24. "A smiling Taoist who can write poems was finally involved in an ordinary criminal case." History finally commented on her. Only in Wang Xiaobo's "Looking for Uniqueness", there is still a wisp of her fragrant soul, and her long hair is as lush and moving as a handful of water plants.

Yiren is like water

I don't know my comfort, and people who know me can't talk.

I like my tacit understanding, but I don't like my chatter.
