Why can Kou Zhun, a hardliner in Honesty and Frank, write the spring scenery so elegantly?

When it comes to Kou Zhun, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is estimated that he is honest, clean and knowledgeable, advocates fighting against Liao Kou, and has made many voices in the court. Yes, according to historical records, Kou Zhun was a hardline politician who was not afraid of power and dared to stick to his own ideas, but few people knew that he was also an accomplished writer.

Kou Zhun was born in a scholarly family. At the age of 14 or 15, he was proficient in Chunqiu, and he was able to write a good article, especially the handwriting, which was beautiful, graceful and touching. What is even more amazing is that Kou Zhun is very good at expressing his inner feelings through the environment. The same scenery can produce completely different artistic conception and feelings in his works. Today we will take a look at The Same Spring described by Kou Zhun.

Thank the guests with wing chun fist and encourage the students to serve the country.

This year coincides with the big exam, and students gather in Beijing. In early spring, the sun is shining and the scenery is pleasant. Kou Zhun, the Prime Minister, took this opportunity to host a banquet in honor of Gong. During the dinner, Kou Zhun wrote "Kwai Fu in the Garden of Public Instrument Hugh Pulling Out" and "General Huo Zhi's Mansion Newspaper" to let the students write poems to amuse themselves.

Why are these two topics? Kou Zhun has a purpose. Let's look at the allusions involved in the topic.

Let's look at the first one: Gong Yixiu was the prime minister of Lu during the Warring States Period. He is honest and devoted to public service. Once Gong Yixiu saw that the vegetables in his field were growing well, so he ordered people to pull out the vegetables in his garden. The servant was confused. Gong Yixiu said: If my vegetable fields have a bumper harvest, I will have to compete with ordinary farmers for sales. I have already got the national salary, do I still have to compete with the farmers for food? ?

Look at the second one: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to seal a mansion for Huo Qubing because of Huo Qubing's outstanding military exploits, but Huo Qubing refused the reward of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and told him? The Huns are not extinct, why should they be extinct? This famous saying.

Kou Zhun asked Gong's people to write poems on these two issues, which is obviously meaningful: I hope these people who passed the national examination will follow Gong Yixiu and Huo Qubing's example, be honest and honest, be loyal to the people, and do their best for the country and the people in the future.

The atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious and positive, and the students showed their talents in succession. At everyone's invitation, Premier Kou also wrote a poem "Gan Caozi", and invited musicians to perform and sing live to entertain. The full text of this word is:

Early spring. Wicker weakness, low brush green door. Caged birds in warm weather. Peach blossoms are small at the beginning.

Looking into the distance, the blue sky is as clean as a sweep. Drag a wisp of smoke. I feel sorry for Xie's fleeting time. Let the jade pot fall.

Is there a gentleness in the spring breeze? ? When the flowers are bright, the peach blossoms are small? Such a fresh and gentle style of writing seems to be more like a gentle son from a stranger, and it is hard for people to think of this dignified, tenacious and steady prime minister.

Even so, there is encouragement in the words. I'm sorry. fleeting. thank you Drink heartily today, and the jade pot will be poured out. You in the Ming Dynasty must live up to your expectations and dedicate your beautiful youth to the cause of serving the country and the people. Not flashy, not preaching, but affectionate and sincere, and there is hope in spring. Well done! Well done!

The second is the infighting in the court, relying on poetry to pin feelings.

Kou Zhun was resolute, but above the imperial court, the political struggle was always fierce and cruel. Although Kou Zhun won the trust of Song Taizong and Song Zhenzong because of his integrity, he inevitably offended the bad guys. During Kou Zhun's reign, he was framed by Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei successively, which was incompatible with the politics of the Queen Mother Liu E, so that Kou Zhun was repeatedly relegated and opened several times.

The ups and downs of official career and the changes of the world make Kou Zhun feel uneasy. After several chaos, he borrowed the scenery of late spring and wrote a book "Walking the Sand" to express his sadness about the political situation of leaving the imperial court:

Spring goes and spring comes, and the warbler is old. Hong Ying lost her childhood. The painting hall is quiet and rainy, and Pingshan is half covered with fragrance.

The coincidence is heavy and the feelings are embarrassing. The dust in Ling Hua is full of careless photos. Leaning against the building is speechless, fascinating, dark and even fragrant.

Spring is over, flowers are falling and fruits are blurred. I'm thinking about Kou Zhun in North Korea, but my mind can't be calm. Outside the painting gallery, the spring rain is continuous, and the distant mountains look so ethereal, just like the present situation in the museum, which makes people unable to see clearly. Can those policies that have not been satisfactorily implemented be implemented as scheduled? When can I return to the imperial court to assist the emperor in carrying out the unfinished plan? Looking at the misty rain outside, leaning against the railing of the painting hall, although there are beautiful scenery of fragrant grass, I have no intention of enjoying it because of leaving.

As a virtuous and loyal minister, although he was demoted, Kou Zhun couldn't help worrying about the imperial court. He is worried about the slanderers and the future of the country, but this melancholy and worry can only turn into misty rain and be drowned in the scenery in late spring.

Third, demote Leizhou and express your feelings with poetry.

Kou Zhun was framed and wronged by Ding Wei in his later years. Because Ding Wei concealed the truth, fearing that Song Zhenzong would blame himself when he knew the truth, he concealed the truth from Song Zhenzong, who was sick, and then demoted Kou Zhun until he was banished to Leizhou, a wild place at that time, to join the army, which was equivalent to being sent.

When Kou Zhun first arrived in Leizhou, he didn't even have a decent residence. Local officials and people all admire Kou Zhun's personality and pay for his settlement. From a very important minister to a prisoner, Kou Zhun's life has suffered such great changes that it is inevitable that people will be distracted, so it is inevitable to write lyrics? Sad words? But more because of sincere love? A very tolerant gesture? , such as "Little Red Lip":

The water is very cold and it rains slowly. Nest attracts swallows, and wet rain turns to flowers.

Smoke is like a ruler, and it doesn't sew at dawn. Sorrow is shallow. Fast-flushers are messy, and bead curtains are rolled around.

Although it is also about spring, Kou Zhun is not in the mood to experience the scenery of spring at this time. Instead, it uses a woman's lovesickness and sadness in the boudoir and her sad thoughts that she can't sleep all night to express her inner loss. Her lingering sadness is full of retrospect of the past and expectation of the future.

However, Kou Zhun was not knocked down by cruel fate. Even in the wild, he never forgets his ambition to contribute to the country and seek the welfare of the people. During his stay in Leizhou, he founded a compulsory school to spread the advanced culture of the Central Plains. Build water conservancy projects, impart farming experience in the Central Plains and promote local agricultural development; Popularize astronomical geography knowledge for local people and get rid of local ignorance and customs; It can be said that the arrival of Kou Zhun promoted the development of Leizhou.

Think that year at Gong's Spring Banquet, Kou Zhun encouraged all the students? I'm sorry. fleeting. thank you Cherish time and use his life to benefit the people, and he himself, with his own practical actions, interprets this inspirational sentence: no matter what position he is in, no matter where he is an official, he will always be a parent who values the people and the country.

Kou Zhun didn't wait until the day of rehabilitation. In 1023, Kou Zhun died of illness in Leizhou. When he was dying, Kou Zhun wrote a poem in his illness:

The disease will last for years, so you can't meet it. Books only read medical records, and guests only wait for medical monks. Ambition is like snow, mind is like ice. Blu-ray didn't sleep after the storm in the county.

Even at the last moment of his life, even in the face of an ill-fated and unfair fate, Kou Zhun still did not forget his ambition. Although his life is bumpy, he has no regrets.
