? Ke Ci has a great influence on the development of Ci both in form and content.
First of all, there are a lot of slow words and long tones in form. This is a folk song popular in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. It was sung with the emerging music at that time and was despised by scholars. However, Huajian Ci is mostly written by poets and scribes. The first reason is that it is unwilling to do so: because the form and syntax of short poems are close to poetry, it feels more elegant; The second reason is that you can't: because the filling of slow words and long sounds should be coordinated with the music score, word by word, and its changing rhythm is more strict.
Why did Yong create a lot of slow words and long tunes? The first reason is his romantic personality. I like listening to songs and watching dances, and I like romantic life. In his "Qi's Family", he described a bustling metropolis with colorful eyes and noisy ears. He was addicted to singing and dancing all day and doing some crazy things with a group of young and romantic friends like him. The second reason is that he has a special talent for music. The third reason is that people who have been frustrated all their lives have been abandoned by the so-called officialdom society that pretends to be a gentleman, so they have combined their musical and literary talents to devote themselves to the creation of ci, thus opening up a new world for ci. His slow words and long tone clearly expressed his wishes. For example, "Ding Feng. Green and red since spring and midnight music. "Frozen Clouds and Dark Weather" only needs to be seen once, so it feels shallow and vulgar, and it doesn't need much play.
Secondly, he wrote the parting of men and women in the tone of guest appearance and men, which is a brand-new angle and way. Moreover, lofty scenery began to appear in his poems, combining his pursuit with the failure of his ambition. "On Yuefu Jade" said: "Liu Ci is full of twists and turns, but it is full of profound depravity. Although there are many slang words, the heights are too cold. " Zheng also said: "Make the finishing point, the mind flies, and only one or two strokes will fly through the wall."
Third, his works often write about the memory of the imperial city. A heavy feeling is to miss his happy life in Dijing (Bianjing) and the woman he once loved. On the other hand, he pursued the ambition of being an official in the imperial city, hoping to achieve something in the imperial city. Therefore, he missed Di Jing with double feelings. He is a tragic figure who has been frustrated all his life. The first reason is that his romantic personality conflicts with the traditional Confucian family environment of being an official. Liu Yong's family, from his grandfather, father, fifth uncle and second brother, are all officials with imperial examinations, and they are all prominent figures with high morals and integrity. The second reason is the contradiction between his musical talent and romantic temperament and his pursuit of political ambitions. Life is frustrated, all on the road. In addition to writing about the departure of lovesickness, it is the journey of tourists.
He is realistic, not rigid. What you see in your eyes, what you feel in your body. This is Liu Yong's achievement. In the west suburb after the rain in late autumn, the cool air makes people feel cold. Walking on the path, the night will pass and the day will come. A strong cool breeze blew on the sleeves of the skirt, shivering with cold. Looking up, there are a few remnant stars on the horizon, and a shining meteor falls into the Woods. Once again, I listened to the chickens singing at dawn. Yang is the sun. Wu, Sun has three legs. Wu is a myth. Let's call it Wuyang. Before the sun came out, there was a faint light and shadow of the sun on the other side of the mountain, gradually revealing that the rugged path was still so long.
In order to make a living and cope with the government's dispatch, we rushed on the road, and our years disappeared in the rush. For a little petty gain, you get the reputation of snail horn. The snail's horn reads "Zhuangzi": "Anyone who has a country in the left corner of the snail will touch his surname; Whoever has the right corner of a snail is called a human. The times are vying for land. " (Zhuang Yu Ze Yang) The horn of a snail is a metaphor for a tiny situation. What kind of life is this? It is "diffuse phase height". It is better for everyone to pursue official positions in vain. Throwing nymphs is not qualified to enjoy a beautiful and comfortable life; Playing with dust, I am close to the hard life on the road. My lofty ideals and ambitions were so casually consumed. Nature has five lakes and smoke waves, which can carry a romantic boat. One day, I will really stop running and go back to the life of fishing and collecting firewood. This is Liu Yong's sorrow during his stay.
Liu Yong once had a humble official position and endured the hardships of running around and traveling. He once worked as a salt officer in Xiaofeng Salt Field and wrote a poem "Boiling the Sea Song" to show his sympathy for the people's sufferings. Cooking the sea means collecting seawater, boiling it into brine, and then drying the salt. The work is hard and the benefits are meager.
What kind of life do people who cook the sea lead? Women can't raise silkworms for weaving, and men can't grow grain, because mulberries can't be planted in saline-alkali land by the sea. If you want to find the source of life, you can only harvest brine from seawater to cook and dry it to pay taxes. It is very difficult to collect seawater. In order to find firewood for cooking the sea, we must go deep into the endless mountains, where there are many footprints that tigers and leopards will never escape. Because there is no other way out. This long process requires borrowing money from others to get dry food and chatting to satisfy hunger. After hard work every year, the official tax has not been paid, and the private tax is also forced. The whole family, old and young, are thin and green. Why do people who cook sea work so hard? When can I live a full life? Our dynasty was supposed to give everyone his place. You should not only see the people living and working in peace and contentment near the city, but also see how many people in poor areas live a miserable and helpless life. I hope the emperor will also extend your love to the salt people by the sea. Therefore, there are only four famous ministers of Song San in Dinghai County Records, and Liu Yong is one of them.
Therefore, Liu Yong is not a person who has no ideal in politics, nor is he a person who has accomplished nothing. It is only various circumstances and factors that have caused his down and out life.
