During the filial piety period of the Western Han Dynasty, there were three famous soldiers, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and Li Guang. They all made great contributions. However, although Wei Qing and Huo Qubing could meet the generals, it was difficult for Li Guang to be appointed, so he stayed? Li Guang is hard to seal? Historical allusions and regrets.
Wei Qing, the younger brother of Wu Zetian in the Han Dynasty, worshipped the general and Hou Dashi in Changping. Huo Qubing, nephew of Wei and Jin Dynasties, made great contributions to Pu Yao and Xiao Wei when he was 0/7 years old. He admitted that the wolf lived in Xufu and Baifu, but died young at the age of 24. Li Guang, the greatest contribution is to defend the border and fight against the Huns. Because of his existence, the northern border was safe for several years and was called General Fei.
If we often read ancient poems, we will find a particularly interesting phenomenon. Li Guang, a flying general, was deeply loved by ancient literati, although he had bad luck all his life. He often praises him in his poems and often misses him. However, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, who have made greater contributions, made more brilliant achievements and lived a more perfect life, are not favored by young people. Why?
If you want to sum it up in one sentence, it is because tragic heroes are always easier to remember.
Emotion * * *
People say that poetry expresses will and emotion, that is to say, poetry is the expression of ambition and emotion.
Most famous writers (poets and poets) in history have one thing in common. They either live in a period of national crisis or their fate is in jeopardy. When the country is in danger, it is often accompanied by personal fate.
In the works of ancient writers, the most common way to express feelings and ambitions is to express that there is no way to serve the country and talents have no way. This caused the * * * sound of Li Guangnan's peak.
Feng Tang and Li Guang are both tragic heroes. Therefore, when ancient literati talked about Li Guang, there would be an emotional voice; When it comes to Huo Qubing, they are more yearning. For Huai Qing, it is difficult to have a good impression on Huai Qing when it comes to literati. It is difficult to have good feelings with Huai Qing.
Tragic heroes are always recognized by people. People are used to sympathizing with tragic figures and like to praise heroic deeds. When heroes and tragic figures like Li Guang appear, they will naturally get more attention and praise.
In fact, Li Guang's exploits and generals are not as good as Huo Wei's. Li Guang committed suicide out of shame and indignation. He was ashamed and indignant because, as a general, he led the army to get lost in Mobei and did not take part in the war. This is a black spot that Li Guang can't clean up all his life. When people mention Li Guang, they also deliberately avoid this point.
This is because, compared with the failure of this site, Li Guang's personal courage and credit for fighting against the Huns are enough to cover up his failure.
Since ancient times, the Xiongnu in the north has been a big trouble for the Central Plains dynasty. In history, anyone who can make great contributions to resisting the Huns will be praised. Li Guang was the first person to resist the Huns in history. Facing the harassment of Huns, the Tang Dynasty thought of the flying general Li Guang, and the poet Wang Changling praised him.
If Wei Qing, who attacked Longcheng, and Li Guang, the flying general, were alive today, the Huns would not be allowed to go south to spend their horses in Yinshan. ?
It's a pity that we didn't let General Li Guang fly. Otherwise, what is the Xiongnu in the north? (General Fei here is controversial, and is generally considered to be Li Guang).
Li Guang is known as the general who fought against the Huns. In terms of personal heroism, Li Guang is also one of the representatives. His story is legendary. Scholars are good at capturing legends and writing them into his works.
It is said that General Li Guang is amazing in strength and good at archery. Once, when he was hunting, he saw a stone on the grass. Li Guang mistakenly thought it was a tiger, so he drew a bow and arrow. When he went to check? Prey? At this time, he found that it was not a tiger. If he looks at the arrow, his head has cut three points on the stone.
An arrow shot into the hard stone, showing the strength of Li Guang's arm. It may be exaggerated, but it also adds a little romance. Lu Lun wrote in his poem that people feel the courage of General Li Guang.
However, General Li Guang was able to lead the army to fight against the Huns and defend the national border security, and his strength was strong, but he was never recognized by the emperor. It was even difficult for him to be a marquis, and he died of shame. What kind of regret and disappointment is this?
Poets like Li Bai were regarded as imperial literati by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. Du Fu, for example, can only write history with poetry when the country is in danger. The talented Su Shi was ostracized by traitors; Xin Qiji is a rare general and it is difficult to be placed in an important position. They are all as indignant as Li Guang.
