Cui Xu is intelligent by nature. He is eager to learn and likes poetry. In August of the fifth year of Jiaqing (1800), Zhang Chuanshan took the exam with the examiner in Shuntian Township, and selected, Mei Chengdong, Yao and others. Cui, Mei and Yao are called "Zhang Men San Cai". Chuanshan admired Xu Cui very much, and compared with The Carving of Cuibu under Wang Yuyang, it became a much-told story for a while.
Xu Cui's "Reading Tang Poetry" has a saying: "Geng Shen won the provincial examination and Xu went out of Zhang Chuanshan's master's office. Xin Youchun went to see it, read a few poems, put them in his arms and said happily,' I have another poet friend.' The title presents the second method, the cloud' hits Cui Huangye directly'. At the beginning of the book, it says,' This old boat is not carved by Cui.' Mr. Wu (Qi), Zhao Weixin (), Dai Jinxi (Dunyuan) and Ning all have their own inscriptions. Later, when Xu wrote Poems on the Mountain, there was a saying that "Call me Emperor Cui", which meant this. Wang Shizhen's Poems on Yu Yang: "Taicang Cui Hua does not carve, but works in poetry and painting. There is a saying:' The cold people in Fengdanhe River just left, and the yellow leaves listened and drank more.' The other eye is Cui Huangye. Cui Hua is from Taicang, Jiangsu.
In the spring of the sixth year of Jiaqing (180 1), Zhang Chuanshan wrote two poems by Cui Xiaolin (Volume 16 of Chuanshan Poetry Talk), with the caption: "A scholar named Geng Shenzhi Qingyun." The poem said: "Hit Cui Huangye directly and count the poems strictly. Yanju knows me early, but Shanwang knows you late. Guan said that there is no foundation for kings, only compassion. It is not easy to make a living, and it is relatively sighing. " "Who will reward birds, cranes and Qi Lin for a long time? Big face, simple but elegant old clothes. Embrace the lonely and despise the Han, and greet the ancient Huan with clear words. The strings are wonderful, and the sea clouds are wide. " Praise Cui Xushi for being "honest and strict", which is worse than Cui Huangye.
Under the guidance of Chuanshan, Xu Cui studied and enriched his poems. The poetic style is more profound, meaningful and full of life. Chuanshan said in Poems on Cui after Rain (Volume 16 of Poems on Chuanshan): "What does Jin Xian mean? Poetry realizes many things in a vacuum. I don't care about my name, but I love you. Go to Shangqing Pavilion. The empty hall is quieter than a boat, and the people cross the river like tigers. The wind and rain hit the window for a long time and it was unforgettable. " Chuanshan spoke highly of Xu Cui's realistic poetry style and said, "I love you, I am hungry, and I love singing". As Fu said in the Collection of Zhengya in the Period of Cui Xu: "One is strict, the law is fine, and there is no habit of boasting." Yao said in Miscellaneous Notes of Bamboo Leaf Pavilion: "Reading Hall is a profound biography of teachers."
Xu Cui's "Send a Ship to the Mountain Master" says: "There are several flowers in spring and several in autumn, and people with lofty ideals are desolate only at home. It is said that swords and swords meet chivalrous men every year, and poetry dreams of Beijing. The rain in the imperial city is bitter, and the frost in the hundred houses is clear and the shadows of the trees are oblique. The four seas know how to avoid horses and should sigh loneliness. " "Master Zhang Chuanshan's Collected Works" says: "Ah, master, the world has been in Beijing for twenty years. If you are strong, you will put pen to paper, and if you are defeated, you will become immortal. Drunk for thousands of times, poetry is widely heard. Who is more elegant after Wang Zhu Songshi? " Call me Cui Huangye (give me a poem with the title:' Old boat Cui doesn't carve.' ), living in seclusion like a straight pond. The new poem is sentimental, generous and crazy. This meaning is worthy of eternal shame. Su Men's works are extant and strive to inherit Qin Huang. "Confucius painted orchids on Chuanshan Mountain, and orchids rose from the top of the stone. The title says: orchids are of high quality, and I would like to live in a high position." The cloud says: "Confucius writes poems like drinking, which is endless fun. The master's painting is poetic, but his pen is still not surprising. Write down the blue dangerous rock peak for me, and plan to put me in front of the breeze. The second time I opened peaches and plums, it seems to be still there. " "I heard that Master Chuanshan was transferred from Laizhou and fell ill," said the cloud. "When I left to guard Donglai, five horses were still talents of love. Poetry and wine are not as good as swimming, and I am here, and the mountains and rivers will open from now on. If you live in a good place for three years, you will be indifferent to laziness. I just want to pack up and go, and I can't stay opposite the donkey. " Read "literary talent and thinking" and say: "This volume is long, and the whale will not return. Delete the poem and leave me here. Pay attention to the details. Surnames are spoken before death, and their voices and abilities are inviolable. When I feel the encounter, I only have tears. "
Xu Cui recorded his teacher Chuanshan's education in Nian Tang Shi Hua. As the saying goes, "Master Zhang Chuanshan tasted many poems and said,' The realm of poetry is extremely stable. After that, only by refining the knowledge and understanding it to a high level will the pen and ink emerge and be true. "Master Chuanshan is either a wit or a madman, a knowledgeable wit and a madman. Loyalty and filial piety, brotherhood and friendship can be seen in every article. Yu Chaogui has no flattery or sarcasm. From the slave who can write poems, to the old man who sells cakes, to the old servant who has served for a long time, to the small official who writes books, all of them are passionate. What is their knowledge? " (Volume III of Reading Tang Poems). It is also said that the first edition of Zhoushan Poetry has not been seen in the library. Why did Yu Wuwu, after having obtained the provincial examination, be recommended by Master Lan to discuss the world with Chunmin Xixi Xiaolian and never borrow it? See the ceremony for details. Xu Shi lives in Li, and there is a saying in Xu Zhong:' Delete the poem and leave me here. Note in detail that I cherish others.' At this moment, the teacher's hand will stop, and I am deeply impressed by the exhibition. "("Reading Tang Poems "Volume 1). There is another cloud: "Master Chuanshan's Poems" says:' It is better to write an ancient book than to write this true experience. He also said:' the sound of rules, the sound of partridges, the sound of birds singing, and the spring is still affectionate. Why bother with the number of words in the book? It's not clear without notes. "Cover refers to Qin Xi (WengFangGang). There is also:' Nature sounds natural and interesting, but good poetry is not close to human feelings. Its purpose is so. "("Reading Tang Poems "Volume 1). Another cloud said, "Master Chuanshan wrote eighteen poems entitled" Baoji County Wall ",which became popular all over the world at one time. Gao Jiayan has 18 poems entitled "The Wall of Huaiyin". At the end of the poem, he wrote:' Dare to imitate Zhang Gongzi's poem and talk about Hong Fei's finger marks.' Refers to Chuanshan. There is a saying in China that' break the routine, observe people's feelings, and enjoy the old minister's heart in time'. I'll give you a life if you die. Drag out an ignoble existence is really half a talent. "They all make sense." (Volume II of Reading Tang Poems).
In the sixth year of Daoguang (1826), Xu Cui became the magistrate of Puxian County, Shaanxi Province, and later took charge of Daning County. His political voice is outstanding and deeply loved by the villagers. In the 13th year of Daoguang (1833), he retired to his hometown due to illness and devoted himself to writing. His works include four volumes of Tang Poetry in the Year, one volume of Tang Poetry in the Year (included in the fifth volume of Evening Fragrant Chorus Collection), One Hundred Poems in Tianjin (namely Tianjin Zhuzhi Ci) and Tianjin Miscellanies. My best friends Mei Chengdong and Tao Liang (1772- 1857) and I tried to write 60 volumes of Biography of Ji Fu Poetry in Jin Dynasty. After Tao Liang, the poems of Xu Cui and Mei Chengdong were compiled into two volumes, Selected Poems of Two Gentlemen in Yannan, and published. The preface said: "Xiaolin's poems are indifferent, with eternal interest, refined and refined, and carried in a precious light; Shu Jun (Mei Chengdong) is an eccentric poet. He is strong in Hengxi, and his frankness naturally flows between pen and ink, which can be described as the second handsome in Yannan. "
Xu Cui, like his teacher Chuanshan, is passionate about education. In his later years, he taught in the branch of Guti College and trained many talents. Cui Zhuan's fourth son: the eldest son Guangdi, Juren, an official in jia county, Henan; Guangdian in Chinese characters, Juren, official of Gucheng County, Hebei Province; Ji Ziguang and Wu, officials visited the Zhang Guan Hall in Shaanxi; Scholar Zisi Guangwatt was a magistrate in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province and a provincial judge in Yunnan Province. When radio and television were young, they spoke sentence by sentence. After reading his poems, Chuanshan sent books to award prizes, calling them "little poets". His father Xu Cui's cloud; "Live up to the promise of the old boat award and seal the title of little poet!"
Xu Cui was obsessed with Chuanshan all his life. In his later years, he wrote a poem "The Former Residence of the Mountain Master" in Beijing, saying: "It's too late to go back here. It was not Old Master Q who passed the door, but only poetry passed down from generation to generation. Fairy Mountain was in a trance, and the sad stone country knew it. I am still lonely and cold, so I have endured tears for a long time. " (Poems of Yixian, Volume 1 14).
In the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang (1847), Xu Cui died in his hometown at the age of 8 1. Its tomb is located in the southern suburb of Qingyun Town, Yanshan County, Hebei Province 1 Li. The three-character sutra of Qingyun Tourism promotes the deeds of Xu Cui and serves as an example for the people of the county to learn. The cloud said, "Cui Xu is wise, and people are wise. Teach the third son and raise people. " His life story has been recorded in Poems of Late Qing Dynasty, Supplementary Books of Qing Dynasty, China Writers Dictionary (Qing Dynasty Volume, Modern Volume) and other documents.
In the 19th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 14), the first generation poet Zhang Chuanshan died of illness in his apartment in Shantang Street, Suzhou. Xu Cui's poem "Hearing Master Chuanshan's Fierce Questions" laments: "Suddenly I got a letter from Jiangdong, if it weren't true. If such a thing happens, who should I admire? Poetry and wine are difficult to pay off debts, and their fame is outstanding. Last month, Mount Emei was vivid. " "Who enjoys each other's half-life? Crazy people only sing to themselves. When there are many people, the master is a bosom friend. Don't be good after five years, sad forever! Even if you don't get married, you have to burn the piano. " Teacher-student relationship, life and death.
