The classic poem above is called "He Manzi", which was written by a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty. This person is Zhang Hu.
What kind of person is Zhang Hu? What unusual experience does he have? What kind of story does he have behind writing this poem?
Today we will talk about Zhang Hu and his works.
Zhang Hu was a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty. He was born into a noble family and was very proud in his early years.
Zhang Hu is famous all over the world, but he didn't take the official career of imperial examination, but started from the staff and entered the officialdom.
However, Zhang Hu's official career was not smooth, even bumpy.
Zhang Hu's poems were sent to the emperor, who asked Yuan Zhen, the authority of the cultural department of the Tang Dynasty, how good the poems were.
As an excellent writer, Yuan Zhen could not be unaware of the value of Zhang Hu's works. However, Yuan Zhen told the emperor that what Hu Zhang had done was nothing but carving insects.
The emperor believed in Yuan Zhen, and from then on he paid no attention to Zhang Hu, which led to the failure of Zhang Hu's career in his life.
Zhang Hu's talent has been recognized by Du Mu and others, and his He Manzi is the embodiment of his talent.
The phrase "a thousand miles away from home, maids have lived here for twenty years" has been passed down through the ages and become a classic sentence.
The object of this sentence written by Zhang Hu is a woman who has lived in the palace for a long time, abandoned her great youth, had a hard time returning home, and was angry and sad.
Legend has it that there was a beloved genius in Tang Wuzong, named Meng Shi, who was good at singing and dancing and was very talented. Tang Wuzong was seriously ill and didn't trust Montessori, but Montessori said, if your majesty is gone, I won't live. As a result, Tang Wuzong died and Montessori died of grief.
He wrote a poem called "People Talk" for the Meng family. "Occasionally, because of the singing method, I sang" December in the Palace ". However, it is a river full of children, and old people must hang under the spring. "
The opening poem "He Manzi" is said to be another poem written for Montessori.
Others think that Zhang Hu's He Manzi is actually a metaphor for his own life.
Zhang Hu was born in a wealthy family, brilliant and arrogant in his early years. As a result, he met a villain like Yuan Zhen, envied him and squeezed him out, which led to his unsuccessful life.
Zhang Hu lived in a foreign country in his later years and often traveled around. He wanted to travel to solve the obstacles in his heart, but how could he be indifferent to his ambition?
He Manzi's so-called "thousands of miles away from home, a maid-in-waiting has lived here for twenty years", isn't it a lament about her life experience?
Yuan Zhen, who suppressed Zhang Hu, was a famous figure in the middle Tang Dynasty. He made great achievements in literature, but he was brilliant and morally corrupt. He is Xianbei of China, a declining aristocrat and a famous "love rat". He likes the new and hates the old all his life and is heartless.
Yuan Zhen is not ignorant of Zhang Hu's talent. When recommending talents to the emperor, he would never say that everyone's articles and poems are small moves. He is "watching people eat vegetables."
It was analyzed that Yuan Zhen was jealous of Zhang Hu's birth and talent, so he squeezed out and suppressed Zhang Hu. There may be some truth in this analysis.
