In Jiang Xue written by Liu Zongyuan in Tang Dynasty, there are no birds in hundreds of mountains and no footprints in thousands of roads. A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice. This poem depicts heavy snow and cold; Then draw an image of a fisherman fishing alone in the cold river to express the poet's unyielding and deep loneliness after being hit. The whole poem is unique in conception and rich in meaning.
But why is Liu Zongyuan so lonely?
Still have to start with this poem. In the 21st year of Zhenyuan, in 805 AD, Tang Dezong died, and the Crown Prince Li Yong succeeded to the throne and changed to Yongzheng. Li Yong was obedient to the sect, and after he ascended the throne, he reused the king. Liu Zongyuan is a supporter of Wang, so he was promoted to be the minister of rites.
In the same year, Wang promoted the "Yongzhen Innovation". The masterminds at that time were Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi, but judging from what happened later, Liu Yuxi lacked political opinions and was not a doer. This is not to say that Liu Yuxi is incompetent. On the contrary, his "materialist thought" is more open than Liu Zongyuan's.
However, Liu Zongyuan is different, because he experienced the war of the separatist regime in the buffer region in his early years, so he has the heart to rule the world, stands firm and has tough means, quite like "Wang Anshi".
However, Shunzong lost his voice because of a stroke, which was also due to fate, so he could not go into politics. The relationship between the ruling and the opposition was malodorous by Wang, and he became enemies with Wu. Eunuch and Wen Zhen staged a coup, made a prince's ceremony, and forced Shunzong to retreat. After Chun Li (Xian Zong) ascended the throne, he deposed the king and gave him the death penalty. Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi and others were demoted to Sima together, which is known in history as the "Two Kings and Eight Horses Sima Incident".
From then on, Liu Zongyuan's official career collapsed and he spent a miserable 10 year in Yongzhou. During this period, his mother died and his wife died. He lost his 10-year-old daughter and wrote "Daughter's Grave Brick", making life even more difficult.
The writing skills of this poem are really worth learning and praising. Write snow scene, the first three sentences can't see the word snow. Pure pen in the air, a piece of ethereal. Looking back at the first three sentences, we know that Zita Law built Qianshan, Wanjing and Fisherman, and the snow is still raging and flying endlessly. This is the genius of the author's brushwork and layout.
