There is no doubt that a number of accomplished minority poets and their works emerged as Nanzhao, which admired Chinese culture, in the Tang Dynasty, where there were brilliant poets. Only this group of poets and their works, due to the lack of historical materials, we have been unable to know their names and have no face to see their poems again.
Besides Yang Qikun and Duan Yizong, there are two outstanding poets in Nanzhao, namely Zhao Meilong and Zanwei Yaocen, and they also wrote poems when they were sent to the Tang Dynasty. From Duan Yizong's poem "The Judge Zan Wei You Listen to Yun Ge in the Cave of Prostitutes", we can know that Zan Wei Yao Cen's official position is the judge, and "Cave Yun Ge" is written by Zan Wei, and Duan's chorus. Zhao Meilong also has words. This proves that the four Nanzhao ambassadors recorded in history are also four Nanzhao poets, and there should be a chorus between them, but it has not been recorded in history. In addition, Dong Cheng in Shilong period should also be an accomplished poet. Shilong once "sent Dong Cheng, an official of Qing Dynasty, to Chengdu" (Nanzhao unofficial history), and was imprisoned by Li Fu, our envoy of Jiannan, and almost killed. Therefore, some people think that the poem "Homesickness" was written by Dong Cheng.
monk Daonan is suspected to be a monk and poet in Nanzhao period. Volume 2 of Wanli Yunnan Annals and Volume 28 of Apocalypse Yunnan Annals all contain a seven-rhythm poem of Tang Daonan's Jade Case Mountain, in which the Qianzhu Temple is located, and the Wanli Yunnan Annals has thirteen clouds, and the Qianzhu Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty. Guo Songnian once saw the "Fanyu Yundui" here in the Yuan Dynasty. The poem "Jade Mountain" says:
There is a beautiful jade mountain in Songming, and Vientiane should always protect this mountain. A game of fairy chess was played in Cang Shi, and several voices roared among the white clouds.
Gankun does not cover the southwest, and the gold and silver are equally divided. It's hard to grind the original through the ages, when will the phoenix crane return?
This poem vividly describes the charming scenery of Yupan Mountain and tells the moving legend of this famous mountain. What puzzles people is that the whole poem is full of Taoist meaning, which is not in tune with Daonan's status as a "monk".
Nanzhao poets with poetic titles include Wang Zaixuan and Zhang Mingheng who live in the fifth floor of Chuxiong. Volume 17 of the Apocalypse Annals of Yunnan said that Wang and Zhang lived in the fifth floor mountain of Chuxiong. "The ambition is to be clear and empty, and the wine is at the peak of the day, and people are ignorant at that time." Later, I met a "unintentional Taoist". On the appointed date of the following year, Wang and Zhang boarded the traffic jam again, saying, "Last year, frost and grass broke people's souls, and autumn waters poured over the river. I still remember that I left the pavilion, and the Western Hills were blocked. " After singing, the breeze Xu Lai, colorful clouds flying, unintentionally Taoist Chang immediately came. A little while later, Wang Zaixuan vacated with the unintentional Taoist Chang, and Zhang Mingheng died suddenly. However, the source of this poem is not explained in the Annals of Yunnan, and its source is unclear.
Nanzhao's literature is famous for its poetry and prose. During Nanzhao period, due to the increase of contact with the mainland and the continuous entry of Han immigrants into Nanzhao territory, Han literature was widely spread in Nanzhao, so "the literature of Erhai people in Nanzhao Dali period was mostly influenced by China (mainland) literature". Nanzhao literature has the style of Tang Dynasty literature. King Nanzhao and his descendants mostly studied Chinese and read Confucian books. Ge Luofeng "does not read unholy books" and "tastes Confucian books". Zheng Hui, the envoy of Shanghai in the West of Tang Dynasty, was "highly valued" by Ge Luofeng, and his children, Feng Jiayi, the son of Ge Luofeng, and Sun Yimou all studied Confucianism with Zheng Hui as their teacher. Therefore, "Yimou is quite knowledgeable and intelligent" and "everyone knows etiquette and music, and this Tang Dynasty is civilized". Nanzhao also sent the ruler's children and nobles to Chengdu to study, which lasted for 5 years, with thousands of scholars. These children who studied in Chengdu brought Chinese culture back to Nanzhao, which greatly enriched Nanzhao's literature and art, and many poets and literati emerged. Many poems of Nanzhao were spread to the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, and some of them were also included in Complete Tang Poetry and Complete Tang Literature.
There are many famous poets and literati in Nanzhao, among which Wang Xunge, the king of Nanzhao, is one of the famous poets. His poem "Traveling to Shelter from the Wind at the Star Festival" has been circulated through the ages, and its poem goes: "Being good at sheltering from the wind, seeing the vines as far as you can see, is sad for the past and the present, and still smoke and the moon; I live in Aurora (Nanzhao King), and I am loyal to the Wei class. I am far away from the emperor in the past, and I am hard to support the loyalty; I don't feel that the clouds are dying, and I feel that the stars are returning to the festival. Yuan Chang is of the same heart, and the children and grandchildren are stunned. " This poem is quite Tang poetry style.
There are also many poets among Nanzhao officials, and Duan Yizong's poems are widely circulated. For example, the famous sentence "The abbot spreads the moon at night in the title of Paeonia lactiflora in Daci Temple" and the "Jade Pai blows the coral hall and the emerald building in the golden fault and dangerous column" in the title of Three Learning Classrooms are all excellent works. There is also a poem "Nostalgia" by Dong Cheng, a Qing Pingguan in Shilong: "People in Shanghai are absolutely gone, but the letter from Yunnan has not been returned. If you don't sweep the flowers in front of the court, you will climb the willows outside the door. If you sit for a long time, you will lose your face. Hanging on the autumn moon night, Wan Li shines on Guanshan. " The style of this poem is outstanding, and it is included in The Whole Tang Poetry. The poems of Zhao Shuda, the official of Qingping, are also famous. Yang Qikun, an official of Qingping County, wrote poems with novel artistic conception, which are also full of Tang poetry charm. For example, Jade Embedded in the Rock included in The Whole Tang Poetry: "The sun and the sun used to be green in the world, and the wind on the temples depended on herbs. Once they rode on the phoenix, they rose to the sky, and the flowers became green, leaving an empty valley." It fully reflects the high level of Nanzhao's poetry.
Nanzhao's prose is also highly accomplished. Nanzhao Dehua Monument, which is widely circulated, is the most famous masterpiece in prose. The inscription is eloquent and elegant, with elegant words, elegant and fluent words, and it is quite the style of prose in the Tang Dynasty. The music and dance in Nanzhao period were rich and colorful, especially the court music in Nanzhao. Palace music is formed by absorbing music from the mainland and Southeast Asia on the basis of Yunnan minority music. The "Luguole" in Southeast Asia was first introduced to Nanzhao, and then from Nanzhao to Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty. The "Qiuci Music" given by the Central Plains Dynasty is also popular in Nanzhao court.
Nanzhao also has its own court music. Wang Yi Mou Xun of Nanzhao wrote "Nanzhao Offering Sacred Music" and dedicated it to the Tang Dynasty. Nanzhao's music also includes "Tiannan Dianyue Folk Songs", which is official music processed from Yunnan folk songs. There are also music such as "Gallo Sew", "Zanpuzi" and "Bodhisattva Man". Nanzhao's musical instruments are Zheng, Zou, Wuxian, Pipa, Sheng, flute, clapper, cymbal, Tudor, Pheasant and bronze drum. There are also many "folk songs" and "folk dances" in Nanzhao, and the most common one is "singing songs" (playing songs), which is accompanied by sheng, flute and other musical instruments. This is what Gui Fu said in "The Continuation of Yunnan Tour": "Folk customs, men and women meet, one person plays the flute, one person plays the lusheng, dozens of people ring and sing on the ground"
