When I went to Lianzhou, Guangdong the other day, I suddenly thought of Liu Yuxi. When I came back to continue reading, there were actually four articles about Liu Yuxi in the book, namely "It's not enough to sigh separately", writing Liu Yuxi's poems about Jinling's history; "The Highest Branch of Bamboo Leaves in the Moon" is a bamboo branch poem written by Liu Yuxi when he was demoted to Kuizhou. "Broad-minded people, the spirit of ingram micro", writing Liu Yuxi's personality and temperament; "So talented, why Lao Du? ",compare Liu Yuxi with the poet Du Fu, and give a very high evaluation.
Liu Yuxi's poems have been repeatedly recited in past dynasties, and many of them are catchy, and they are still widely circulated golden sentences, such as:
"Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, but the road is sunny without sunshine."
"In the old days, Wang thanked Tang Qian Yan and flew into the homes of ordinary people."
"Qian Fan passes by the side of the sinking boat, and Wan Muchun is ahead of the sick tree."
"it's hard to go through thousands of hardships, but it takes a lot of sand to get to gold."
of course, there is also his famous "Humble Room Inscription", which is still a signature calligraphy and painting in many people's study.
In other words, when Liu Yuxi was demoted because of Yongzhen's innovation, he finally came back to Chang 'an with forgiveness, but he was convicted of writing a poem after seeing flowers in Youxuandu:
"The world of mortals in Ziyang came to my face, and
no one could fail to see the flowers back.
There are thousands of peaches in Xuandu, and
Liu Lang has gone and planted them later.
This poem entitled "Yuanhe was called to Beijing from Langzhou in the 11th year, and the play was given to the gentlemen who looked at flowers" was really well written, and its meaning was pun, so it quickly spread in Beijing. People with a heart went to sue the imperial court and said that his words were sarcastic, so he was once again demoted as the secretariat of Bozhou (now Zunyi, Guizhou). Moreover, Liu Zongyuan, a colleague of Yongzhen's innovation, was also demoted. At this time, Liu Yuxi's mother was over eighty, and the ancients paid attention to filial piety. Liu Yuxi could not leave his mother, but only took his mother to his post. The mountain was high and the road was long, and the road was difficult. Finally, because of Pei Du's intercession, Liu Zongyuan's brave words asked for a swap with him before he was demoted to Lianzhou.
when I was in Lianzhou, I didn't take this book with me. All the way, I was thinking about which way Liu Yuxi went to Lianzhou and where he traveled in Lianzhou. I only remember that Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were released together at that time, starting from the capital, supporting the elderly and carrying the young, and going back to Hengyang Changning along the Xiangjiang River. The two poets said goodbye at the ferry, Liu Zongyuan continued to go to Liuzhou in the southwest, and Liu Yuxi went all the way to Lianzhou in the south. Liu Zongyuan wrote a poem "A Farewell between Hengyang and Dream":
After ten years of languishing in Qin and Jing, who expected to become a layman.
The old road of Fubo is full of wind and smoke, and the grass and trees in Weng Zhong Heritage Site are flat.
Don't take words for the occasion.
There's no need to say goodbye to the river at present, so you can cry a thousand lines.
When Li Shangyin heard about it, he was also deeply moved, and wrote a poem "Rewarding Lianzhou to Hengyang for Farewell":
After ten years in China, he went to Zhao together, but after a thousand miles in Hunan, he was divided.
I'm a different prime minister from Huang, and my three names are gradually becoming Liu Shi.
when you return to your eyes and die with the geese, you are in the midst of a broken ape.
across the mountain, the east of Guijiang River is thinking about chanting songs.
After listening to Liu Zongyuan, he wrote another poem "Farewell to Dreams", and Li Shangyin returned another poem "Answering Liu Liuzhou", and Liu Zongyuan wrote another poem "Answering Liu Zihou", and Li Shangyin immediately returned the poem, feeling that the ceremony of their separation was so long, and it was a long time just to write poems.
Liu Yuxi crossed Guiyang, Qitianling and Xianghualing, passed Linwu County, and finally reached Lianzhou (which belonged to Hunan at that time). Liu Yuxi served as a secretariat in Lianzhou for more than four years, and his contribution to Lianzhou was very great. Cao Gao, the magistrate of Lianzhou in Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty, wrote Preface to the Old Records, arguing that the change of Lianzhou's atmosphere "started with Han Changli and Liu Mengde". That is to say, the ethos of Lianzhou was changed by Han Yu (Yangshan County, which was demoted to Qingyuan due to the drought in Guanzhong) and Liu Yuxi. Liu Yuxi promoted culture and education in Lianzhou, and Lianzhou became the "imperial examination province". That is to say, with the efforts of Liu Yuxi, Lianzhou's imperial examination is the first in the province!
Liu Yuxi once wrote Ten Poems of Haiyang when he was in Lianzhou. Unfortunately, Haiyang Lake has been filled out now, and there is only one Liu Yuxi Memorial Hall, which is in a middle school campus, yes, in lianzhou middle school campus.
Liu Yuxi later left Lianzhou and was transferred to Kuizhou and Hezhou. In the second year of Baoli, he returned to Luoyang to wait for the imperial edict, returned to the court, and finally became an official, which was a good destination. After returning this time, he visited Xuandu Temple again and wrote the famous sequel "Visit Xuandu Temple Again":
"A hundred acres of atrium is half covered with moss,
peach blossoms are all in bloom.
Where did the Taoists go?
Liu Lang came again today. "
However, this time he learned wisely. In order to avoid getting into trouble again, he specially added a small preface before the poem:
When Yu Zhenyuan was a foreign minister in the 21st year of wasteland reclamation, this view failed to blossom. He left the pastoral state at the age of 18 and sought to change the Sima of Langzhou, where he lived for ten years and was called to the capital. Everyone says that there is a Taoist who planted Xiantao with his hands, such as Hongxia, so he has the first chapter to focus on the moment. Spin out of the pasture. In the past four years, I have been a doctor of the host and guest again, revisiting the Xuandu view, but there is no tree, only the rabbit sunflower and oats are shaken by the spring breeze. Because of the twenty-eight words, I will swim later. At that time and in March of two years.
