this young master of the Wang family is called Wang Ji. Although he looks silly now, he was not stupid at all when he was young. Wang Ji became famous all over the world when he was 15 years old, and was praised as a "fairy boy" by Yang Su, a famous minister in Sui Dynasty. Moreover, unlike other young geniuses, Wang Ji didn't lose himself in the flood of praise. He thought that he was too young, and his knowledge was not enough. He still needed to calm down and study hard to make progress every day. So he declined the recommendation of dignitaries and decided to return home to continue his studies.
After seven years of seclusion, Wang Ji came out of the mountain. He was recommended as Xiao Lian by accident, and was recruited by the imperial court as an official in Beijing. My hero is comfortable in all directions. He doesn't want to be a secretary in Beijing to mend articles. He refuses to be appointed and asks to experience life somewhere. So, he was sent to Liuhe, Yangzhou, and became a small county magistrate.
Yangzhou at this time is definitely a place where Wang Ji can experience life. Due to Emperor Yangdi's urgent construction of the Grand Canal, the people here not only bear extremely heavy taxes and levies, but also take the corvee to repair the canal for a long time. As a local official, Wang Ji's task is to carry out these orders to squeeze the people. He can't do it, and he doesn't want to. Du Kang is the only one who can solve the problem. With disappointment and pain, he drank too much day and night, immersed in intoxicating wine, and didn't want to wake up.
Wang Ji was addicted to alcohol every day and neglected his official duties. Wang Ji soon attracted the dissatisfaction of his colleagues and leaders and was impeached. At this time, the Great Sui Dynasty was no longer the Great Sui Dynasty ruled by the Emperor, and peasant uprisings were surging, competing with each other and causing untold suffering. In such troubled times, I don't need my talent for managing the world. Wang Ji left all the salary earned by Xiancheng when he took office, carrying pole with its load, and quit!
it's good to be able to save yourself in troubled times. In this way, Wang Ji lived in seclusion in his hometown for twenty years. These twenty years' life is a peach blossom garden-like life completely isolated from the war-torn outside world. Wang Ji's parents have long been out of date, so he managed his own small manor, ordered all kinds of people to devote himself to the research of brewing, and in his spare time, he went hiking with his friends, singing poems and singing harmony, which was really pleasant. There is a poem to prove it:
At this time, the outside world has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and a new era has come. In order to show the wise SHEN WOO and the virtuous corporal of the new dynasty, all the reclusive celebrities were "invited" to the provincial capital for appointment by imperial edict. Wang Ji was also forced to leave his hometown and come to Chang 'an. Waiting for the imperial edict, as the name implies, is waiting for the imperial edict. The emperor is busy with everything, and occasionally imperial edicts are just some work to repair articles. Wang Ji's life is very boring. He told Wang Jing, the younger brother who was the guard of Tang Gaozu, that the job to be advertised was nothing except that I could drink three liters of wine every day. When Chen Shuda, the leader of the provincial government, heard about it, he was afraid that Wang Ji would not be kept, and he specially approved to give Wang Ji a bucket of wine every day. Since then, Wang Ji has gained an elegant name: "Mr. Doujiu".
But for Wang Ji, a bucket of wine is not enough. After one year, Wang Ji finally called himself ill and abandoned his official position. However, this time is different from the past, even if you want to ask for sick leave, it is necessary to have a deadline. After a few months of abandoning the official, Wang Ji was called to Beijing again. The emperor asked him, it's so boring not to let you wait for a letter in the door this time. Choose for yourself. What kind of official do you want to be? Wang Ji thought for a moment and said, I heard that Shi Jiaoge, the official of TaiYueFu, is good at brewing wine, so I'll be his deputy.
people with the same hobbies always get along very well. During these years in TaiYueFu, Wang Ji drank a lot of wine with Jiao Ge and learned a lot about wine making. Later, Jiao Ge died, and his wife still delivered wine to Wang Ji according to her husband's instructions. But not long after, Jiao Ge's wife also died. Without wine, there is nothing to stay in this place. Wang Ji once again called himself ill and abandoned his official position. This time, the emperor was helpless, so he went if he couldn't stay.
This time, Wang Ji is truly free. He can finally return to his landscape world and devote himself to his wine-making career. First of all, Wang Ji systematically sorted out the brewing knowledge he learned from the brewing theories of past dynasties and Jiao Ge, and incorporated it into his own brewing experience, and wrote a book "Wine Classic"; The second thing, Wang Ji will consult the famous wine practices collected by local wine makers in recent years, and after experimental exploration, he will write a book "Wine Spectrum"; Third, Wang Ji built a Du Kang Temple next to his residence, and also offered Jiao Ge as a memorial and respect. It can be said that life after abandoning an official is much richer than when he was an official.
Living in seclusion has made Wang Ji more free from the shackles of poetry, books, rites and music, and his thoughts are more free and liberated. In the eyes of most people, he is also more eccentric. Someone laughed at him to his face for abandoning his official position because of drinking, but he didn't think so. He said, "Have you heard the story of two horses of Fengshen Fei Lian? A horse looks like a dragon and a phoenix, and it runs so fast that it can't rest all day long and is exhausted. The other horse is extremely ugly, "hunched with a camel's neck and knees", and still loves to lick the child, so nothing happens, "fat all the year round". If you had a choice, which horse would you like to be? "
at this time, someone said, you don't even have a wife, how can you live comfortably? Cut! Wang Ji looked disdainful. Wife, it's a simple matter. As long as I say I want to get married, all the girls who come here will definitely line up to Chang 'an. Call the matchmaker now and write a marriage-seeking poem called "Narrating in the Unmarried Mountain".
"What is known from outside, there is nothing in the mountains." The first sentence introduces his present material living conditions. I have been living a secluded life, living in the mountains and having nothing. It seems that Wang Ji, a small landlord, thinks that his small manor is not a wealth, but compared with dignitaries and local tyrants and squires, this is really nothing.
the wind is singing and the piano is still at night, and the moon shines on the fragrant spring wine. The second sentence introduces his present state of spiritual life. I like to be with the breeze, the quiet night and the guqin. It would be even more beautiful if I could taste the wine brewed in the early spring under the long moon.
in a hundred years, who can talk about a thousand years later? The third sentence expresses his determination. If you can accept my material conditions and enter my spiritual life, I am willing to love you. If you want to give this love a deadline, I hope it is one hundred years. Let's get married in this mountain for a hundred years!
Zhang Feng hires a good wife, and Lao Lai takes advantage of it. The fourth sentence expresses his expectation. I hope that after we get married, our life will be like that of Zhang Feng, Yuan Shi and Lao Laizi, and we will never leave each other.
Meng Guang is unmarried, and Liang Hong is in need of a wife. These five periods clarify his demands. If you can appreciate my hobbies and have the same life ideals as me, as long as you are not married, you can come. I want a person like you!
He is a young man of literature and art. Even when he was looking for marriage, he was still talking about his ideal life, regardless of his height and appearance. Frankly speaking, Wang Ji's poem is frank and affectionate, and young women in literature and art will want to marry him after reading it. But at that time, there were so many young women in literature and art, mostly boudoir ladies. When they saw the first sentence, "There is nothing in the mountains", they just pass. As a result, this marriage advertisement did not attract many female fans who were attracted to Chang 'an as Wang Ji expected.
Just when Wang Ji basically had no expectations about the marriage, there was good news from the matchmaker. It turns out that there is a young lady named Wen Jun in the west of the city. Because I was weak since childhood, the doctor asked me to drink medicinal liquor for a long time to make up my body. When I was in my teens, my illness was cured, but I couldn't quit drinking. I couldn't do it without drinking a few buckets of wine a day, and I was drunk all day. Because of this, Miss Wen Jun is over twenty, and no one is willing to ask for marriage.
Isn't this love is like oxygen? Isn't it that a family doesn't enter a house? Wang Ji suddenly fell in love with strange girl, who has the same hobby as him, and Miss Wen Jun also fell in love with Wang Ji's elegance and elegance because of this poem. Wang Ji didn't expect this so-called marriage-seeking poem, which was written at random, to actually find a good couple for him. He not only lamented that in ancient times, Zhuo Wenjun was a wine seller, but today, Miss Wen Jun and I * * * drink the wine of acacia, which is really fortunate!
After getting married, Wang Ji's seclusion added a happy element. Consciously, he has five buckets of alcohol, and he is completely humble in front of his wife. One day, just after going out and entering the yard, Wang Ji saw his little blushing wife holding a wine bottle, leaning against the edge of the wine urn and blowing it. Wife, wife, there is so much wine in our family, no wonder you are so drunk. As the saying goes, "The wild wife leans on the urn, and the village holds the bottle vertically ..... The Tian family has many wine companions, who blames Yushan for being depressed".
When my husband saw his wife drunk, he was not angry, but also wrote a poem record to excuse her. My wife doesn't resent her husband being drunk every day. She often drinks with him, prepares dishes for him to drink, and advises him to drink more if he has nothing to do. This alcoholic couple really put the free and easy wine into full play. As the saying goes, "an old wife can persuade me to drink, and a young son can play the piano":
Maybe that's what it feels like to be with the right person. Tacit, in tune, hit it off at first sight. There are 37 poems by Wang Ji in the whole Tang poetry, among which there are more than ten poems describing his wife's praise. Such a deviant poet who pursues ideological freedom and liberation is actually a proper warm man and his wife controls him. During this role change, Wang Ji's character is full and approachable. Of course, the happiness of all this comes from this song "Narrating Records in the Unmarried Mountain". Compared with this poem of literary fan, I suddenly feel that some marriage-seeking programs that are keen to show their body appearance and knowledge and wealth are extremely boring. It can be seen that human nature is really retrogressive, and it is necessary to go back to the Tang Dynasty to find a marriage advertisement with three views. Well, I hope you and I can be an interesting person again.
