Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen met in 802 AD. That year, they were admitted to the imperial examination at the same time and were assigned to the secretary province as proofreaders (? In the same year, I worshipped the school book lang and touched the stealth. )。 That year, Bai Juyi was 30 years old and Yuan Zhen was 23 years old. Two people who are seven years apart start for 30 years? Gay feelings? . Maybe it was the college entrance examination at the same time and then I was admitted to the same university, maybe I was assigned to the same dormitory, and then I fell in love at first sight, which lasted for 10 thousand years. Gay feelings? .
In the days when they worked together as school bookkeepers, their feelings quickly warmed up. There is a poem as proof, from Bai Juyi's "Give Yuan Zhen"? Riding on the pommel horse and having a drink in the snow? 、? Moonlight flowers, less wine and less joy? In these words, we can easily think of the whole time they spent together, the horse riding in front of the saddle, and the scene of singing poetry. Bai Juyi wrote "To Yuan Zhen" in the last two sentences of this song? Not for the same degree, not for the same officer There is no heresy in my heart. ? Is this a private life? Aren't you afraid of people saying that you broke your sleeves in Longyang?
In 809 AD, Bai Juyi was promoted to Zuo Shiyi, and Yuan Zhen was transferred to the imperial history. Bai Juyi stayed in Beijing, but Yuan Zhen went to various places to handle cases. Without Yuan Zhen's company, Bai Juyi just didn't want to eat, and tea was tasteless. From Bai Juyi's Farewell to Nine Emperors? Go all out and do nothing? I can understand Lao Bai's longing for Yuan Zhen. One day, Yuan Zhen, who was far away in Liangzhou, missed his friend Bai Juyi very much. He thinks about it every day and dreams about it at night. In the evening, he really dreamed of swimming in Qujiang and Jeju with Bai Juyi. After waking up, he wrote the following poem:
Liangzhoumeng
Dream Jun bypassed Qujiang Head and swam to Ci 'en Hospital.
The cabinet officials called people to the horse, which surprised Gu Liangzhou.
However, something amazing happened! ! ! (I have to type three exclamation points to highlight the magic) Bai Juyi plays Qujiang and Ji 'anji with a group of friends in this naive place, and also thinks about Yuan Zhen in Liangzhou. There are Bai Juyi's poems as evidence:
"Drunk with Li Eleven, Remembering Yuan Nine"
When the flowers bloom, we indulge in the melancholy of spring and wait for the squid as a bargaining chip in the later stage of drunkenness.
It suddenly occurred to me that my old friend is far away from home, so I can only count that you are traveling in Liangzhou today.
But, ah, fate is ill-fated. Yuan Zhen offended the eunuchs of the dynasty because of his young age and straightforward speech. In 8 15, Yuan Zhen was demoted to Tongzhou Sima in March, and Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima in August of the same year. What a pair of bad karma mandarin ducks! Bai Juyi left Chang 'an in the bleak autumn wind, taking the road that Yuan Zhen had taken not long ago, and suddenly the poet had mixed feelings and was full of melancholy. Bai Juyi wished to find the traces left by Yuan Zhen on this road and soothe his lonely heart. One day he passed by the Blue Bridge Post Station, and sure enough, he found the footprints left by his sister Yuan. Yuan Zhen passed by here before and wrote a quatrain of "Returning to the Western Heaven" on the wall pillar. Lao Bai suddenly felt happy, just like a flower. I began to write a quatrain "Blue Bridge Post See Yuan Jiu Poetry" by my side:
Blue Bridge Chun Xue Jun returns to Japan, Qinling West Wind I go.
Get off the horse at each post and follow the wall around the post to find your poem.
Leaving the Blue Bridge Post Station, Bai Juyi continued to travel south. After Xiangyang, the poet took a boat from Hanshui to the Yangtze River and remembered his dear Yuan Zhen on the boat. In order to comfort his lonely heart, Lao Bai learned to read Yuan Zhen's poems repeatedly. I don't know if this move can really relieve the suffering of lovesickness. I think Lao Bai is still very touched when he sees these things, otherwise he wouldn't always see his eyes ache. On the way, I wrote "Reading Nine Poems on the Ship":
Read your poem in front of the lamp, the lamp goes out, and the sky is not bright.
When your eyes are sore, the lights are still sitting in the dark and the waves are beating against the wind.
Yuan Zhen, who was far away in Tongzhou, was surprised to hear that his other half had been demoted to Jiangzhou. He was not so excited when he checked the results of the college entrance examination. Regardless of his serious illness in bed, he began to write to Laobai, and wrote a poem "Hearing Lotte Grant Jiangzhou Sima":
The residual lamp has no flame shadow. I heard that you have fallen into Jiujiang this evening.
Sitting up in a dying illness, the dark wind blew the rain into the cold window.
I'm really afraid that Sister Yuan will pass in one breath, and Lao Bai is so sad. Soon, Bai Juyi received this poem and was deeply moved by the concern of his friends. In his letter to Yuan Zhen, he wrote: Dying? This poem is touched by irrelevant people, let alone me. Now every time I see it, my heart is still unbearable. ?
As soon as Yuan Zhen received the letter, he knew it was written by Bai Juyi. Before he opened it, his eyes blurred. His daughter was so scared that she began to cry, and his wife asked what was going on. Yuan Zhen told them that he seldom felt so emotional, except when he received a letter from Bai Juyi. Therefore, Yuan Zhen sent poems to Bai Juyi:
Dig into heaven
Far letter begins with tears, and the wife is surprised and the daughter cries and asks what it is.
Abnormal coma, it should be Jiangzhou Sima Shu.
Later, their feelings became deeper and deeper. On one occasion, Yuan Zhen received another poem from an old friend:
Mengyuan JIU
In the morning, the breeze is melancholy, and Tongchuan is without water.
I don't know why I dreamed of you last night.
Good friends are so affectionate to themselves that they meet themselves in their dreams. I think about him every day, dream at night and think about him all day. Why can't I dream of it? Yuan Zhen was very upset, thinking that he was probably infected with malaria when he came to Tongzhou, and he has not recovered yet, and his thoughts are confused. So I also wrote a poem "Reward Lotte with Frequency and Dreams":
Thousands of mountains and rivers have broken letters, and I received a poem from you today. It's rare that you love me and ask me in your dreams.
Today, I am in a daze because of illness, but I dream of idlers instead of gentlemen.
Dreams come and go, and there is really no one around.
In 83 1 year, Yuan Zhen died. Bai Juyi is 60 years old and Yuan Zhen is 53. 30 years? Lovelorn? It's over, but Bai Juyi's longing for Yuan Zhen has never stopped. Bai Juyi personally wrote an epitaph for Yuan Zhen, and also wrote a mourning poem that has been passed down through the ages.
Weimeng
Travel hand in hand with your dreams at night, but don't cry in the morning.
Zhangpu was sick for three times, and Xianyang stayed in the grass for eight times in autumn.
You bury your bones under the mud spring, and I send snow all over the world.
Ah, Han Weilang went to the next time, but did you know that the night station was full of ignorance?
? You bury the mud under the spring, hold down the bones, and I send the snow all over the world? Buried in the ground, the soil eroded his body, and perhaps it had already turned into dust, leaving Lotte white-haired in the world.
