[Qing] (living around 1736 AD) (one is Yuan Duan, or the cloud), the word is positive, and the word is also mountain. His name is Wei Chisheng, nicknamed the owner of the Red Orchard, and he is the son of Yue Le, the prince of the Qing Dynasty. His average year of birth and death is unknown, and he lived in the early years of Emperor Gaozong Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. At the beginning, the isolated mountain shell was sealed, followed by the king. Youzhuang is outside the cold exit of Gan 'an County. His poems are hospitable. His poem "Watching the Night in the Spring Suburb" has the sentence "Xiling Cloud will make rain, and the east wind will not fly", so it is called Dongfeng lay man. There are four kinds of Yue Duan's poems, namely Red Orchid Collection, Pavilion Collection, Poems on the Embankment and Untitled Poems, which were edited by Gu Zhuo, a guest from Wujiang, and Zhu Xiang, a guest from Wuxi. Each book has five volumes, and the main titles are "The Sound of Fish Pond" and "Snow Bridge Poetry". He also studied songs and tasted the story of Lao Zi and Yin, which is a legendary Yangzhou dream and melody handed down from generation to generation.
Due to the profound experience of the social insider of his time, some of Yue Duan's works show extraordinary knowledge. In a poem entitled "Kyoto Qu", he used the story of Qu Yuan's unpatriotic suicide by throwing himself into the river to express his strong aversion to sinister life and his personal choice to retreat to the wine country:
Since ancient times, talented people have drunk, and only Dr. Qu woke up alone. Dr. Qu, what would you do? Not the fisherman's.
Remonstrance, willing to be falsely accused by courtiers. Although I know this is a fable, how wrong it is to vote for Xiangjiang River! Xiangjiang river is choppy,
There are salamanders, dragons, whales and crocodiles. Go straight to the doctor's body and chew it sideways for the boss. Don't you see, today's artificial dragon boat,
It's a pity that the aquarium is still arguing. Whoo-hoo! It is impossible to be worldly wise.
Place, ass can't stay. I advised the doctor to have a drink, and he could swim in several drunken places.
Yue Duan's philosophy of life had a great influence on the life style of many Qing imperial clan children who suffered similar experiences later.
Yue Duan's poems are quite rich in content, and his style of writing has changed from fresh and elegant to plain and diluted. Here are some of his works with different charms to illustrate his artistic attainments:
The autumn wind is setting in the sun and the sand is flat late, and Male has a long way to go. There is no one in the vast fields, and the sky is as blue as glass.
Bowl. ("Midway Occupation")
I heard that poetry is as bold as the sky, please look at the crazy painting. Just order dozens of grapes and pray for God, just like Dont Ask For Help.
Round. ("Painting Grapes")
It is never difficult for a madman to draw, but he can finish it in a flash. Write about fish instead of water, the waves of confidence in the poem.
Ian. ("Painting Fish")
Looking at the sunset glow in Long Beach, the fragrant branches are waiting for the crows. Xiling cloud will make rain, but the east wind is weak and can't fly.
Flowers. Exquisite love leaves a sunny day, while lonely Xu Fei brings a sunset glow. Savages alone support Chenopodium sticks far away, and the depths of Liu Yin search for people.
Go home. ("Reading Rhyme in the Late Spring")
His poems are highly praised by the literary world. Celebrities in Qing Dynasty, such as Jiang, Tao Zhidian, Gu Zhenguan, Jiang, and Roy, all wrote articles that highly affirmed Yue Duan's poetic art.
Yue Duan also wrote a drama script "The Legend of Yangzhou Dream" based on the legendary story of Laozi. The play was well received by the audience after it was put on the stage. What is particularly rare is that two outstanding opera masters, Kong and Hong Sheng, also gave extremely enthusiastic praise to the creation of The Legend of Yangzhou Dreams, and even compared it with Four Dreams in Linchuan by Tang Xianzu, a dramatist in Ming Dynasty.
In addition, Yue Duan's paintings also occupy a place in the fine arts creation in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the famous painting review "Painting Collection" pointed out that Yue Duan "painted mountains and rivers smartly, like eight mountain people; Mo Ran won the show of Yuan people. "
