[ Tang] Song Zhiwen
The Jiuling Mountain is gloomy and the Dragon Palace Lock is lonely.
when you look at the sea, you will see the tide in Zhejiang.
laurel leaves in the middle of the moon, and the fragrance of the sky is floating outside.
it's far to climb the tower, but it's far to cut the wood to get the spring.
Frosty flowers are more abundant, while ice leaves are not withered.
the age of rewelding is still far away, so it is troublesome to find the right one.
when you enter Tiantai Road, look at Yudu Stone Bridge.
Song Zhiwen (about 656-712), whose name is Yan Qing, is Shao Lian, Han nationality, who was born in Jiaocheng, Fenzhou (now Fenyang City, Shanxi Province), and Hongnong, Guo Zhou (now Lingbao County, Henan Province), a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, was also called "Shen Song" with Shen Quanqi.
Lingyin Temple is an excellent poem about landscapes. Yuan Hongdao once said in his travel notes "Lingyin": "I began to enter Lingyin, suspecting that Song Zhiwen's poems were not similar, meaning that the ancients took pictures, or just like modern poets, I collected help. When you climb the tower, you will know the words of the sea, Zhejiang, Monro and Mumu, and every word will be shown in the picture. The ancients are really out of reach! " This passage shows the beauty of the poem Lingyin Temple, that is, "every word is in the picture".
Creation background: The Chronicle of Tang Poetry says: "When I asked you to demote and release it, I went to the south of the Yangtze River, visited Lingyin Temple, where jathyapple was very bright, and the promenade chanted' The vulture ridge was gloomy and the dragon palace was lonely' ..." Song Zhiwen was demoted twice, the first time was in the first year of Shenlong (75). "Old Tang Book" said: "Born in nature, I was given death in the migration office." "New Tang Book" said: "Give death to Guilin". In short, failed to survive. The Book of the New Tang Dynasty records his long history of moving to Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province) in the middle and lower reaches of Jinglong. "I am quite self-reliant, and I have traveled to Tunxi Mountain in poverty, buying wine and writing poems, spreading the capital, and everyone is satirizing." This poem Lingyin Temple was written about this time.
