Generally speaking, people call a person according to his personality, works and deeds. Therefore, people call Chen Ziang "poetic bone", which is inseparable from his character, deeds and works!
As far as his works are concerned, Chen Ziang is a poet before Li Bai and an ambitious man. Although he was not as outstanding as Li Bai and others in poetry, he was in the early Tang Dynasty, when he was carrying out poetry reform, so his poetry was the basis of future generations' writing. In his poems, we can read surging feelings and chic spirit. In short, his poems can convey positive energy. Therefore, some people commented that his poems were vigorous and powerful.
As far as his character is concerned, he belongs to an official who went out from a remote area, but he was arrogant in front of those bureaucrats, even for the emperor at that time. It was during the reign of Wu Zetian. He only supports Wu Zetian's New Deal and opposes mistakes, which also shows his backbone, his solemnity and persistence in right and wrong!
As far as his behavior is concerned. When I first arrived in Beijing, I never entered the official career because I didn't have any acquaintances. Later, he spent thousands of dollars on a piano, which attracted many people to his home. Then he smashed the precious piano in front of everyone to show his determination to leave his official career, which also made him instantly become a celebrity and enter his official career.
All these show that he is a talented and upright person, which is why people call him a poetic bone.
Chen Ziang's masterpiece.
Chen Ziang wrote nearly a hundred poems in his life, but as far as Chen Ziang's representative works are concerned, that is his 38 poems!
Chen Ziang was sent to join the army twice in his life. His feelings are the true expression of his feelings in the army, his views on current affairs and politics at that time, and his exclamation of his life experience.
He is good at comparing himself with other things. For example, in the second chapter of Experience, he explained his will by comparing several flowers. He said orchids are not so noble as chrysanthemums, nor so proud as peonies. They just keep their elegance. This actually represents himself. He will always uphold justice in his official career, will not drift with the tide, will not be narcissistic and will not engage in small groups. He will agree with what others are right on the premise of insisting on his own insistence.
As can be seen from Chen Ziang's representative works, he had many views on the army in the process of joining the army, but after he put it forward, no one adopted it. In fact, he is also helpless about his career. Although he has a talent, he can't display it. In the second poem, he lamented that autumn is easy and orchids are easy to wither. In fact, time flies, and I am getting old, but my political ambitions have not yet been shown.
As far as the thirty-eight masterpieces are concerned, it mainly reflects that the imperial court established a large number of temples at that time, and the money for building these buildings came from the people, so the lives of ordinary people were not happy at that time. When he saw this, he directly targeted the object of his poems at the court, expressing his dissatisfaction with the matter.
Chen Ziang's representative works all expressed his dissatisfaction with politics at that time and his indignation at the impossibility of realizing his life.
Chen Ziang's Poems
Poetry in the early Tang Dynasty still carries the habits left over from the Six Dynasties. These poems are flashy and have low style. Chen Ziang had lofty ideals and ambitions, and he wanted to change the situation at that time.
Chen Ziang's poems were progressive and rich in content at that time, and the simple and strong style and language had a great influence on the literature of the whole Tang Dynasty at that time. So that after Chen Ziang's death, his good friend Lu Zangyong also wrote ten files for Chen Ziang.
Chen Ziang's poetry creation mainly shows his thoughts at that time. Chen Ziang's thirty-eight experiential poems are just like those in the twenty-ninth poem Xishan is a soldier. "Qiongdao grabs grain, and Ji competes for Qiang city" is the main representative work that shows this revolutionary and innovative spirit. There are also some poems that lament the impermanence of life and praise the hermit's feelings of seeking immortality. These poems have a strong idea of denying Buddhism and metaphysics.
Chen Ziang's metrical poems are few, but as he wrote, "Seeing Chu in Jingmen", he went to the martial arts and saw the next stage. Bashan river is exhausted, Jingmen smog is open ... ",which is also the masterpiece of the early Tang Dynasty. Chen Ziang expressed the magnificent mountains and rivers he saw when he first walked out of Shu in one go. Chen Ziang's style is obviously different from other poets.
However, Chen Ziang's poems also have shortcomings in art, which shows that Chen Ziang's research on Yuefu folk songs in the Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties is not deep enough. He doesn't attach importance to the new form of seven-character poem, and there is not a seven-character poem in his poetry collection.
Chen Ziang also played a certain role in promoting the reform of prose. In Chen Ziang's articles, he used unpretentious prose to express these countermeasures and suggestions, which was a new beginning in the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Ziang, on the tower of Youzhou.
Chen Ziang's most famous Tang poem "Youzhou Tower" is a Yuefu poem. Influenced by the travel notes in Chu Ci, this poem was written in the style of Chu Ci, which enhanced the artistic appeal.
The two sentences in this poem are about remembering the ancients and feeling that the author was born at an untimely time; Looking forward to the arrival, the author wrote, I feel that I have no talent. Chen Ziang himself is a lofty ideal person with political talent, foresight, talent, ideals and ambitions. Chen Ziang dared to tell the truth, because when Wu Zetian was in court, she often put forward her own opinions and was picky, so she was not listened to and adopted by Wu Zetian. Therefore, Chen Ziang was regarded as an anti-party member for a period of time and was put into prison. Perhaps at that time, such an environment was not Chen Ziang's era and was not suitable for Chen Ziang, so his political ideal could not be realized. This series of setbacks and blows made Chen Ziang very depressed.
Chen Ziang stood alone on the platform of Youzhou, climbed the stairs and looked at the mountains and rivers in Wan Li. At that time, many fragments flashed through his mind. Chen Ziang stepped onto the stage of Yu Zhou in the north of Yu Ji. Maybe he thought of Le Yi, the general of Yan State who attacked Qi State, or Cao Cao, a lean man in the Eastern Han Dynasty who was in the Northern Expedition. Look at himself again, because under the account of Wu Jiahe and Wu Youyi, it actually looks useless, which is far from his ideal and political ambition at that time. Under the extreme desolation, the poet has a deep sense of talent and loneliness, which has made this famous sentence.
Chen Ziang was a famous literary poet in Tang Dynasty. His poems have been handed down to this day, including 38 famous lyric poems. Chen Ziang's lyric poetry embodies an innovative spirit.
However, these 38 poems were not written at the same time. Some are satires on reality, some are Chen Ziang's own feelings about current affairs, and some are Chen Ziang's feelings about his own life experience and his ideal of serving the country. The content of this poem is extensive and rich, and the annotation thought in the poem is also very contradictory and complicated.
Speaking of poems describing reality, it belongs to frontier poems written by Chen Ziang when he joined the army at that time. This is a work written by Chen Ziang when he was in the north. Strong sense of reality, written in the content of the leader's nothing. Because of incompetence, the frontier people are constantly persecuted by the Hu people. Chen Ziang expressed his indignation in his poems, and at the same time expressed deep sympathy and understanding for the patriotic enthusiasm of the soldiers stationed in the frontier fortress being suppressed by reality.
There are also some poems, among which Chen Ziang lamented the impermanence of life's fate and praised the hermit's idea of seeking immortality. There are also many works that display Buddhist thoughts, but the poems contain negative information.
Even some of the occasional poems were influenced by metaphysical poems at that time, and even now they are boring to read. However, all Chen Ziang's poems have absolutely no sense of glitz in the Qi and Liang Dynasties, which was very valuable at that time. His sentimental poems directly inspired Zhang Jiuling to write Sentiment and Li Bai to write Antique.
Chen Ziang wrote two very famous poems, saying goodbye to friends on a spring night. Chen Ziang is a Sichuanese. The background of writing those two poems is from Sichuan to Luoyang, and he is going to write to the imperial court to gain fame. At that time, several friends of Chen Ziang saw him off, and several people drank wine and told their hearts in the spring night. The phrase "silver beads spit smoke, golden urn gives a wonderful feast" is a farewell scene of a banquet.
At that time, Chen Ziang was in high spirits and felt the enthusiasm of his friends, so he was very excited and wrote two poems at the dinner party. Chen Ziang's poems describe the farewell scenes, but they also express their own feelings. Chen Ziang had learned a lot by then. At that time, Wuhou was in power and needed a lot of talents. Chen Ziang intends to rely on his own talents to get an official position in the imperial court. For example, the poem "I would give anything for you, and I would like to be a courtier" describes his ambition.
These two poems written by Chen Ziang are very artistic, and later many scholars praised this article. First, write the scene of the banquet, and then express your feelings and show reluctance. The poem "Long Luoyang Road, when will this meeting open" expresses the feeling of parting. The second song not only wrote a separate scene of the banquet, but also wrote some personal feelings. Because I want to be an official in Luoyang, I wrote my yearning for the future in my poem.
Chen Ziang was a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. His poems are all different. He expressed his feelings in the scenery, making the whole poem more artistic. Two poems, such as "Farewell to Friends on a Spring Night", are very artistic and blend with scenes, highlighting the feeling of being reluctant to part with others. In the poem, "cold flowers are full of dew, dripping water is empty" not only describes the chill of the night, but also expresses his parting feelings through the scenery of this slightly cold night.
