When Wang Changling was alive, he was known as "King Jiangning, a Poet". He was compared to Confucius in poetry, and later generations also called him "the seven wonders".
Before Wang Changling, quatrains were not the most common poetic style. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, long poems or five-character poems were the mainstream. At that time, Bao Zhao began to advocate seven-character poems.
In the early Tang Dynasty, quatrains were not very popular. Wang Changling loves to make quatrains. He left more than 70 poems in his life, most of which were quatrains in seven words. Without Wang Changling, the seven-character quatrains might not be so popular in the later period.
However, among the 300 seven-character quatrains of Tang poetry selected by retired scholars in the Qing Dynasty, only three poems by Wang Changling were selected, and Du Mu was selected the most in the late Tang Dynasty, with nine poems.
I have a clear taste and I am incompetent. A monk who loves loneliness in his spare time. Take a group of people to Jianghai and Paradise Scenic Area to look up at Zhaoling.
: halberd is broken, not for sale. Since then, I have been wearing it and washing it. If the east wind is not convenient for Zhou Yu, I'm afraid the outcome will be Cao Cao's victory and Er Qiao's detention in Tongquetai.
Smoke cage, cold water, moon cage sand, night parking near Qinhuai restaurant. Strong women in business do not know the hatred of national subjugation, but they sing backyard flowers across the river.
The green hills are covered with water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River does not wither in autumn. The bright moonlight on the 24 th Bridge is a sunny night. Where do you teach oral sex?
Down and out in Jiangnan where there is a restaurant, the waist is thin and the palm is light. Ten years in Yangzhou, you wake up like a dream, but it is a fickle reputation among prostitutes.
: silver candle cold painting screen, light Luo small fan flapping fireflies. The stone steps at night are as cold as cold water, sitting and staring at the cowherd and the weaver girl.
: 13 times more, cardamom pointed at the beginning of February. In Yangzhou, the spring breeze blows all over Lisanchang Street. No one can match her beauty with beaded curtains.
Love is always ruthless. Without feeling, you can't laugh. The candle on the table lit the heart, and it also saw the parting; You see, it shed tears for us until dawn.
Prosperity scatters incense and dust, while running water is ruthless. Birds groan, and the night comes with the sound of the east wind; Falling flowers are as beautiful as green beads falling from upstairs.
Most of these nine poems are well-known masterpieces, but others, such as "Four hundred and eighty halls in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers are misty and rainy" and "Sitting at night and loving maple trees, frosty leaves bloom in February", are not included. As far as the artistry and popularity of poetry are concerned, Du Mu is really strong. So the question is, who is the strongest in the end? Let's look at Wang Changling's songs. Three songs were selected as "I climbed the tomb of Leyou and then went to the five-star stunt".
Cold rainy night, in Wu, sent away loneliness Friends, if my friends in Luoyang invite me; Just say I'm still Bing Xin Okho and stick to my faith!
Young boudoir women do not know how to worry. In spring, they make up in Cuilou. Suddenly I saw the green willow, and I felt uncomfortable; Oh, I regret that I shouldn't have let my husband go to Feng Hou.
Last night, the peach pit was in full bloom, and the front hall of Weiyang was taller than the moon. The geisha in Pingyang was attracted by the emperor. In the cold weather outside the curtain, the emperor gave her a brocade robe.
Many people are not familiar with Wang Changling's Selected Poems of Chibi, which involves the criteria for Li Tang scholars to choose poems: "Because they specialize in the most popular Tang poems, they choose the most important one." It's Eastern Time.
In terms of quantity, Wang Changling seems to be inferior to Du Mu. However, as the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. There is often great controversy about the evaluation of literati's works. As to who is stronger in Wang Changling's and Du Mu's seven-character quatrains, critics of past dynasties have their own opinions. what do you think?
