But Bai Juyi is respectable and hateful, because he is the guardian of feudal decadent ideas, and he is the murderer who killed famous prostitutes with pen and ink poetry! Not many people may know.
Let's look at the Tang Dynasty 1200 years ago, let's know about Guan and see how Bai created this tragedy intentionally or unintentionally.
According to legend, Guan, a famous prostitute in the Tang Dynasty, was beautiful in appearance and good at poetry and songs, and was later accepted as a concubine by Zhang Zhuoxiang. It turns out that this Zhang family still has many wives and concubines. Although cranes are very different in age, they still love each other. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The marriage lasted only two years. Zhang Zhuo died of illness and was buried in Luoyang. Since then, the Zhang family's wives and concubines have separated and gone their separate ways. Only Guan, who was born in a scholarly family, decided to keep this festival. She lives alone in the bird's nest built for her in Zhang Kui, and only an old woman accompanies her. For more than ten years, she has never left her nest, and her life is almost isolated.
There is a clear stream in front of the swallow house, and weeping willows are planted by the water. In spring and summer, pairs of swallows often fly through willow trees to the roof. Looking back, husband and wife joined hands and thought that what happened today was human nature. When this endless sadness lasts forever, comb your hair day and night. Guan Yu, who is good at poetry creation, wrote three new poems:
The lights upstairs are accompanied by morning frost, and lonely people climb lovesick beds.
Acacia's one-night stand is not long.
The pine and cypress in the north are worried about smoke, and the swallow house is quiet.
This sword has been buried for ten years.
Comfortably watching Hongyan come back from Luoyang, she saw Xuan Qin Gong Society again.
Yao Sian let himself disappear from the cobweb without emotion.
Bai Juyi visited Zhang Fu's house at the invitation of Zhang Xun when Zhenyuan visited Xuzhou. At that time, it was a song and dance, and Bai Juyi sang a poem in praise: "Drunk coke is invincible, and the wind blows peony flowers." This means that Guan's delicate and charming mood is unparalleled, and only Peony Wang Neng can match her.
After more than ten years, they never contacted each other again.
In the 14th year of Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Sixun, a member of his team who had served for many years, visited Bai Juyi. Knowing that Guan had dinner with Bai Juyi and admired Bai Juyi's poetic talent, he brought his poems. Bai Juyi read Guan's poems and remembered Guan's charm. When Guan learned this, he first expressed sympathy and wrote one or two poems:
The window is full of bright moon and frost, and the cold lamp is in the bed.
On the frosty night in Swallow House, Qiu Lai was only one person long.
Cymbals are like smoke. I feel embarrassed to do it several times;
I have been in an empty box for ten years since I stopped dancing neon.
However, from the perspective of feudal ethics, Bai Juyi believes that one should not only keep a festival, but also not marry. The third song: "A guest returned to Luoyang this spring and went to the tomb of Shu. Since poplars can be pillars, it is already a mockery to fight for teaching instead of ashes. After so many years of history, poplar can be a pillar, but you still live in this world, you shouldn't. After three poems, Bai Juyi chose Emei as the flower, and used the quatrain "Gold does not hesitate to buy. "Teaching singing and dancing is also exhausting. Once I died, and I was slightly punished for not giving up my life. I'm sorry that the master spent a lot of money on her.
After returning to Zhang Xu, Guan saw Bai Juyi's poems, Bai Juyi's cruelty and human suffering. She was wronged, resentful and angry, lost her life and started a hunger strike. 10 days later, he died in the bird's nest and finally followed her husband. Bai Juyi heard about Guan's death and realized that it was directly related to his poems. He felt deeply guilty. Therefore, many clients helped to bury Guan's body next to the tomb, which was regarded as his compensation for Guan and relieved some of his guilt.
Bai Juyi killed such a versatile and infatuated beauty in the open Tang Dynasty. It was really "no manners and no chastity"! Maybe he didn't mean to be locked up. He was just defending feudal ethics and expressing this view in his poems, so he realized it later and made up for it, but after all, people can't be resurrected. He didn't kill Belem. Belem died because of him.
