Although what we are seeing now is a son who is good at writing beautiful lyrics, this talented person, as far as we are concerned, has a lot of fate in his life and is extremely embarrassed. Even after his death, all the singers pooled their money to bury him.
The times always give more things to the literati, and Liu Yong seems to have made achievements in the field of Da Song Ci with his half-life experience.
Although his flashy ci poems were not respected at that time, he was labeled as the author of "Yan Ci" because of these ci poems. It is precisely because of his deviance that not only the rulers did not like him, but even the officials in the Song Dynasty did not appreciate him.
In the Tang Dynasty, people often say that there were more than half of Li Bai's poems and songs in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but when we look at Liu Yong's ci, we find that his ci has no flavor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
First, Liu Yong, who doesn't look at the official history, has an important position in the ci world.
Liu Yong didn't go to the official history, and his experience doomed him to be unable to enter the official history. Just like Li Shishi, there is no record in the official history, but there are many legends about these two people in the Jianghu.
This is just a sentence. I am not in the Jianghu, but there are legends about me in the Jianghu. Liu Yong is such a person.
Although Liu Yong did not enter the official history, his position in the Song Dynasty was extremely high. At that time, the singers were honored to write a sentence with him. After his death, those singers sang in memory of him at his grave.
There were many rumors about unofficial history in the Song Dynasty, such as the erotic news with Li Shishi, and Liu Yong lingered in the Chu Museum all the year round, with countless legends. These legends were true and false, and filled the streets at that time. His fame was also inferred from these legends.
If you have to define Liu Yong, he is the first person in pop music in Song Dynasty. Even Su Shi once asked the public who was better or worse than Liu Tuntian.
Meng Ke said that Su's ci was suitable for the Kanto man, holding a bronze tooth plate and singing the river of no return. Liu wasteland's ci is suitable for a 28-year-old girl who died in the morning breeze with red fangs and singing.
It is recorded that a prostitute loves her name and can change her feathers. Once you have a title, your voice costs ten times, and prostitutes often give you gold. " In other words, Liu Yong's ci was very valuable at that time, and anyone who sang his ci was generally worth twice as much.
Liu Yong's ci is widely circulated among the people, even in the inner court of the palace, but his career path is extremely bumpy.
Second, I had a rough life, but I left the best words in the world.
Genius may always encounter more trouble. Liu Yong's career path is extremely rugged.
Liu Yong's ci will not be valued in feudal orthodoxy. There is a plot in "Qing Ping Le" in which Ouyang Xiu won the first prize because the colourful words were not liked by Empress Liu. As you can imagine, in the Northern Song Dynasty, literati writing colourful ci would not get orthodox recognition.
However, in the Song Dynasty, many scholars wrote such colorful words. Why did Liu Yong, who was alone, suffer, and his career path was so bumpy?
In fact, Liu Yong is not wrong. The mistake is that these words were written for Qin Lou Chuting. Writing lyrics for these places will inevitably not touch the moral bottom line at that time, so Liu Yong did not meet the criteria for accepting official positions at that time.
Although Liu Yong's ci is not accepted by orthodoxy, those scholars are learning his writing methods in private. It can be said that they are constantly calling him flashy and taking him as an example.
Liu Yong's heart is actually unbalanced. According to historical records, Liu Yong recommended it to the emperor at that time. The emperor asked, "Is it necessary to write lyrics?" The referee replied, "Of course." The emperor said, "Let's fill in the lyrics.
When Liu Yong heard this, he made a mistake and put up a signboard for himself, "Write words in sequence".
Such Liu Sanbian wasted half his life, and finally got into the Jinshi at the age of 50, which is still the regret that Song Renzong failed in the list.
Even if he is admitted to the Jinshi, time will never return, and Liu Yong is not optimistic. He was displaced all his life, and finally became a distribution officer such as Doctor Tai Chang and Yuan Wailang. Although his power was small and his position was humble, he was never accepted by the mainstream of the Song Dynasty.
However, he is worshipped by many singers. After his death, every year a singer went to Liu's grave to sing, and all the songs he sang were written before his death.
Liu Yong was an indelible figure in the Song Dynasty. His words are like a blooming flower, swaying in the long river of history.
