Mei Yaochen
Mei Yaochen (12-16), and was known as Mr. Wan Ling, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. Xuanzhou Xuancheng (now Anhui) people. Xuancheng was called Wanling in ancient times and Mr. Wanling in the world. In the third year of Emperor You's reign (151), he was given a background as a scholar. Officials to ministers are all officials and foreign ministers. In his early years, his poems were influenced by the western style, and then his poetic style changed, and he put forward the idea of tit-for-tat with the western style. Emphasize the tradition of The Book of Songs and Li Sao, and abandon the flamboyant and empty poetic style. In art, it pays attention to the characteristics of poetry, such as vividness and implicit artistic conception, advocates "plain" artistic realm, and requires poetry to describe landscape images, which is intended to be implicit. His poems, such as Four Seasons in Tianjia, Family Talk, Poor Women in Rufen, Xiangcheng to Snow, A Journey to Lushan Mountain, Watching a Chicken Fight at Night, Dongxi, and After Dreams, all reflect this insipid and implied poetic proposition. In the Northern Song Dynasty, he was as famous as Ouyang Xiu and Su Shunqin, and was also called "Mei Ou" and "Su Mei". Liu Kezhuang called it "the founder of the Song Dynasty" in Hou Cun Shi Hua. He is the author of 6 volumes of Mr. Wan Ling's Collection and four series.
according to zhide county annals, Mei Yaochen was appointed as the magistrate of jiande county from the first year to the fifth year of jingyou in the northern song dynasty (134-138), and his residence was clean and upright. After going to the official post, the people remembered him, renamed the county town Meicheng, and dedicated it to Meigong Hall in the west of its official residence. Later, a Meigong Pavilion was built on the hillside of Baixiangshan Mountain behind Meicheng to comfort his admiration, and it was able to ascend to the beauty. Meigong Pavilion was built in the years of Jiading in the Song Dynasty, and was rebuilt three times in the second year of Yuan Dynasty (1342), the fifteenth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (152) and the tenth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1671). In the seventh year of the Republic of China (1918), Wang Renpeng, the county magistrate, rebuilt it again and wrote a composition on the cliff of the pavilion. Pavilion, with rectangular brick-wood structure and carved beams, is a pavilion-style building with cylindrical black pottery tiles and flying corners, surrounded by Gu Song bamboos, with pleasant scenery. Meigong Pavilion was destroyed during the "Cultural Revolution". Today, only the site remains, and it is now a key cultural relics protection unit at the county level.
For thousands of years, people have built and repaired Meigong Pavilion five times. What are the reasons?
He was born in a peasant family. When he was a child, his family was poor and he loved reading. After he failed to take the township entrance examination at the age of 16, his family could not afford for him to continue his study and take the re-examination, so he followed his uncle to Luoyang, Henan Province to get the post of master book (equivalent to today's documents), and then he continued to hold the post of master book in Mengxian County and Tongcheng County. After being re-elected as the main book of the three counties, he was promoted to the magistrate of a county, called for a test, was given a Jinshi background, and moved to Shangshu as an official, so he was called the official of Meidu. After Mei Yaochen became an official, he was ambitious and ambitious. His original name was "Shengyu" and later changed to "Yaochen", which meant he was determined to be a sage of a wise king. However, he did not meet a wise king.
During his five years as a magistrate of Jiande County, Mei Yaochen was honest, lofty and self-sustaining, and was able to observe the sufferings of the people and did many things to benefit the people. He often went deep into the homes of rural people to visit incognito, talked with farmers, bricklayers and poor women, learned about the sufferings of the people, and personally rushed to the scene of forest fires and flooded streams for on-the-spot inspection; He got rid of malpractice and did everything himself. At that time, Jiande was a small mountainous county, and there was a dilapidated bamboo fence outside the county office, which needed to be repaired all the year round, so it became an excuse to extort money from the people. After Mei Yaochen came, he decisively replaced it with an earthen wall and planted a bunch of bamboo in the hospital. In Mei Gong Ting Ji, Wu Shidao praised him for "being kind, easy-going, gentle and sincere".
For such a great writer, poet and celebrity, who loved the people and loved them when Jiande was an official, and expressed the grievances of the people in the form of poetry, the people naturally respected and loved him. Therefore, Mei Gong's moral and benevolent policies are still recited among people in Dongzhi today after a lapse of more than 9 years.
Although Mei Gong was extremely unsatisfied in his reign, he enjoyed a great reputation in the poetic world. With infinite grief, anguish, longing and pain, he wrote a lot of exciting poems. At that time, he was as famous as Su Shunqin and had a high reputation in the field of poetry. He was called "Samui", and he and Ouyang Xiu were good friends. They were both promoters of the poetry innovation movement and had a great influence on the Song Dynasty. He actively supported Ouyang Xiu's ancient prose movement, and his poems were divided into two types: ancient and simple, and were highly praised by people at that time. Ouyang Xiu once thought that his poems were inferior to Yao Chen's. Lu You once cited Ouyang Xiuwen, Cai Xiangshu and Mei Yaochen's poems in Preface to Mei Shengyu's Bieji. His poems can reflect social life in many ways, with plain and simple style and profound implication. Among a large number of poems he wrote in Jiande, among them, "Tian Jia Yu" wrote about farmers, "Who cares about Tian Jia Le, the spring tax is not enough!" This poem complains about the sufferings of farmers in the tone of farmers. In the poem "Small Village", it is said: "Western jackdaw has to eat every day to call his companions, and the old man still holds his grandson without clothes. How can he make a living? Liao is in the Wang Min edition!" In the poem "The Pottery Man", he showed the social phenomenon of the opposition between the rich and the poor in a sketchy way. The poem said: "Pottery is in front of the door, there is no tile on the house, and the fingers are not stained with mud, and the scales live in the building." Sharp and clear, it makes people feel strongly unfair after reading. In his spare time, Mei Gong often walks out of the county government, wandering among the green mountains and green waters of Jiande, Dongliu and Chizhou, and writes many poems about scenery and friends. From the hundreds of poems left by Mei Yaochen in Jiande, we can see Mei Yaochen's unique style, which is simple and profound, delicate and appropriate, concise and free, innovative and provocative, and he can break through in the short form that has always been used to lyric poetry. In the description of landscape scenery, it has also formed the characteristics of depicting personality and copying details, giving people a fresh and meticulous feeling.
"There are mountains and plains in the south, but if you don't dig and run, you will produce beautiful tea ..." This is the opening sentence of "There are beautiful tea in the south" written by Mei Yaochen, a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. Mei Yaochen was transferred to the county magistrate of Jiande (now dongzhi county) in the first year of Jingyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (134), until he left office in the fifth year of Jingyou (138), and served as an official in Jiande County for five years. This well-known "Nanyoujia Zhufu" was made after he personally inspected the whole process of tea growth, picking, making and selling in the official port tea area. He gave up writing and said with a smile: "Tea Picking Officer" is a kind and modest self-metaphor. How amiable and respectable it is that the parents' palace in feudal times can closely connect itself with tea pickers!
Dongzhi is an old tea-growing area. As early as the Tang Dynasty, the tea in the official port was in full swing. Bai Juyi's "who, prizing money first, careless how he left her, had gone, a month before, to Fuliang to buy tea" refers to the official port belonging to the Fuliang area at that time. Mei Gong admired the tea in Dongzhi. He not only wrote "There is a Good Fu in the South", but also wrote a poem saying: "The tea leaves are still green when cooked, and the lotus leaves are more complicated to pick", and he combined tea and lotus leaves as the beauty of Jiande. Therefore, Jiande's tea was famous after the Northern Song Dynasty, and it became one of the top ten famous teas in the Yuan Dynasty.
