Long Songs and Cao Zhi and Wang Changling

Long songs (Li Bai)

Peaches and plums will bloom in the sun, and glory will shine in that year. The east wind moves everything, and the grass speaks the heart.

Dead branches have no ugly leaves, and dry water spits out clear springs. Heaven and earth were vigorously transported, and xi's whip did not stop.

If you don't become famous early, what will Zhusi say? Peach and plum work in youth, who can penetrate the day.

Wealth and immortality are wasted into two losses. Stones are still on sale, but the wind and frost have no long-term quality.

Fear of the sunset, singing and drinking are strong. Autumn frost suddenly invaded Liu Pu at any cost.

Li Bai, whose word is too white, is called a violet layman. His ancestral home is Ji Cheng in Longxi (now Qin Andong in Gansu). Born in the Western Regions (now the Chu River basin south of Balkhash Lake) in the first year of Chang 'an after Tang Dance (AD 70 1 year). When I was young, I moved to Qinglian Township, Changlong, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou County, Sichuan Province) with my father. Teenagers show their talents, recite poems, read widely and exercise. From the age of twenty-five, I left Sichuan, wandered around for a long time and experienced more social life. In the meantime, due to the recommendation of wujun and others, it was presented to Hanlin at the beginning of Tianbao. But it is not taken seriously in politics. Destroyed by powerful people, he didn't leave Chang 'an until a year later, and his political ambition was not realized, which made him have a deeper understanding of political corruption at that time. Tianbao lived for three years and made friends with the poet Du Fu in Luoyang. In the Anshi Rebellion, out of the desire to quell the rebellion, he served as Wang Yong's chief of staff and was exiled to Yelang because of defeat. During the journey, I was forgiven and returned to the East. In my later years, I wandered around and suffered, and I died.

Li Bai's poems and songs sang his progressive thoughts with heroism, attacked powerful people and despised ethics. But there will always be negative emotions of incompetence and life like a dream. From the artistic point of view, his poems are rich in imagination, using bold exaggeration and simple language to form a bold and hearty style, and he is an outstanding representative of ancient positive romantic poetry after Qu Yuan.

Cao Zhi (192 ~ 232) was a poet of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He Zijian is the third son of Cao Cao's wife Bian Shi. Cao Zhi has been brilliant since he was a child. 10 is over 0 years old. He read hundreds of thousands of words of poems, articles and words, and wrote a chapter, which won the favor of Cao Cao. Cao Cao once thought that Cao Zhi was the "most important" among the philosophers, and wanted to make him a prince several times. However, Cao Zhi's laissez-faire behavior and repeated violations of law and discipline aroused Cao Cao's anger, while his younger brother, Cao Pi, was rather pretentious and finally gained the upper hand in the struggle to establish a reserve army, and was made a prince in the twenty-second year of Jian 'an (2 17). In the twenty-fifth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao died of illness, and Cao Pi succeeded to Wei and soon proclaimed himself emperor. Cao Zhi's life has changed fundamentally since then. He has changed from a noble son who lives a leisurely life to the object of being restricted and attacked everywhere. In the seventh year of Huang Chu (226), Cao Pi died of illness, and Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, namely Wei Mingdi. Cao Rui still keeps strict precautions and restrictions on him, and the situation has not fundamentally improved. During the period of Ming Ming II 12, Cao Zhi moved several times, and the last fief was in Chen County, so it was called "Chen Wang" or "Chen Siwang". Poetry is the main field of Cao Zhi's literary activities. The content of the early stage and the later stage is very different. Early poems can be divided into two categories, one is to express the leisure life of his noble son, and the other is to reflect his feelings of the times when he was born in troubled times and grew up in the army. In his later poems, he mainly expressed his grief and indignation under repression, and expressed his desire not to be abandoned and his desire to make contributions to the world. There are more than 80 poems by Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi has many innovations and developments in the art of poetry. Especially in the creation of five-character poems. First of all, most of the ancient poems in Han Yuefu are narrative, and it was not until Nineteen Ancient Poems that lyric elements occupied an important position in the works. Cao Zhi developed this trend, organically combining lyric and narrative, so that the five-character poems can not only describe the complex changes of events. It can also express tortuous psychological feelings, which greatly enriches its artistic functions. As a master of Jian 'an literature, Cao Zhi had a great influence on later generations. In the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, he was promoted to the position of article model. Cao Zhi edited 78 selected works before his death. After Cao's death, he collected more than 100 works, including 30 volumes of Sui Shu Classics, 1 volume of Ode to Women, and 5 volumes of Painting Praise. But it was originally hidden in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Cao Zijian 10, a six-year edition of Jiading, Southern Song Dynasty, has 206 poems, poems and essays. The Ming Dynasty, Wang Shixian and Zhang Yan each carved Chen Ji, which was based on the Southern Song Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, Ding Yan's Comments on Cao Jiquan and Zhu's Textual Research on Cao Jikao were revised and revised in detail, and many missing sentences were added, which were two complete and precise works. Huang Jie has Cao Zijian's Poetry Talk, Cao Zhi's Poetry Talk in ancient times, and Zhao Youwen's Cao Zhi Collation today.

Wang Changling, a famous poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, was born in the first year of Li Tiansheng (698) and died in the fifteenth year of Tianbao in Xuanzong (756).

There are many versions of Wang Changling's native place, except Taiyuan, Jiangning and Jingzhao. New Tang Book and Chronicle of Tang Poems said that he was from Jiangning, but there was no direct material, probably because Wang Changling was called "Wang Jiangning" at that time. Wang Changling used to be Jiangning Cheng, and Li Zhao's Supplement to National History and Pei Jing's Tombstone of Hanlin Bachelor called him Wang Jiangning, which is the same as Song Kao Gong and Wei Suzhou, while Song, Wei and Wang all used official titles, so Yu Jiangning also used official titles instead of books.

The Old Book of Tang Dynasty originally said that Wang Changling was from Jingzhao (Chang 'an, Tang Dou, now Xi 'an, Shaanxi), probably because he said in the poem Farewell to the Capital of Lipu that "his hometown is now Baling West" and there is another work "Overlooking the city and living in seclusion". Many Shanxi poets in the Tang Dynasty have been to Luoyang and Chang 'an because they were the cultural centers at that time, and some even lived in Beijing for many years. Just because they have lived in Beijing, they cannot be called Beijingers. Photo Collection of He Yueling is a collection of poems edited by Fan Yin in Tang Dynasty. It is believable that Wang Changling is from Taiyuan. Therefore, from He Yueling's Photo Album and Talented Persons in Tang Dynasty, Wang Changling is considered to be from Taiyuan, and now most people also think that he is from Taiyuan.

Neither of the two biographies of Tang Dynasty records the time when Wang Changling was admitted to imperial academy, nor does it record Vae's senior high school entrance examination. Biography of Talented Scholars in Tang Dynasty said that he was a scholar in the 15th year of Kaiyuan (727). Gu Kuang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in the preface to "Collection of Supervising Imperial History and Public Officials" that in the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, "the young government always built the first place, and Wang Longbiao was old. These people were outstanding at that time." Gu Kuang's preface is accurate. After Wang Changling was buried, he served as secretary of the provincial school. From ancient times to the present, school booksellers have been filled by scholars, which is of great significance to the contemporary world. Therefore, scholars call the school library the official of Taoism and the library of Penglai Mountain. In the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan (734), Wang Changling chose erudite macro-words, which was superior to others, so he was appointed as the commandant of Surabaya County.

According to Wang Changling's poems, Mr Zhan verified that he was banished to Lingnan in the 27th year of Kaiyuan (739), which is a new discovery that has not been recorded in historical records. See Chronicle of Li Bai's Poems for details. In the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740), Wang Changling returned to the north and traveled to Xiangyang to meet the famous poet Meng Haoran. Meng Haoran suffered from gangrene and soon recovered. They were very happy after meeting. Because of drinking, he relapsed and died. During this period, Wang Changling got to know Li Bai, a great poet, including the poem "Ba Ling sends Li Twelve". It is a great pleasure for Wang Changling to meet such first-class poets as Meng Haoran and Li Bai. Unfortunately, meeting Meng Haoran became a permanent tactic, and meeting Li Bai was all downhill. Li Baizheng was exiled to Yelang at that time.

In the winter of the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740), Wang Changling left Beijing for Jiangning. At this time, he met the famous poet Cen Can. Cen Can has a poem "Send Wang Changling to Jiangning", and Wang Changling also has a poem to leave. When I passed by Luoyang, I also made friends with poets such as Qian and others, and they also had poems.

As an outstanding poet, Wang Changling has few handed down materials. In addition to being demoted to Lingnan mentioned above, I was demoted, and the exact time and reason are not clear. "Biography of Zhan Caizi" said that he "paid no attention to the details in the later part of his journey, slandered and boiled, and fled to the wild." He Yueling's Photo Album said that he was "experiencing a distant famine again", and Old Tang Book also said that he was "careless and often derogatory". It seems that the poet has been repeatedly vilified and his career is extremely unsatisfactory.

More sadly, Wang Changling later failed to keep such a small position as Long Biaowei, went AWOL, and made a detour to Mizhou, where he was killed by Lu Qiuxiao's secretariat. "Biography of the Talented in the Tang Dynasty" said: Wang Changling "returned to his hometown with a sword and fire, and was killed because of the taboo of Lu Qiuxiao, the secretariat. Later, Zhang Gao marched to Henan and was going to be slaughtered at dawn, saying that he would kiss the old and beg for forgiveness. He said,' Who can support Wang Changling's personal desire?' The dawn faded away. "Zhang Gao, who has always sympathized with the poet, finally avenged Wang Changling.

Wang Changling was a famous poet in Tang Dynasty. At that time, he was very famous and was called "the poet king Jiangning". Because the name of the poem was written earlier, I made many friends with the famous poets at that time, and the friendship was very deep. In addition to the above-mentioned friends with Li Bai and Meng Haoran, I also made friends with Gao Shi, Yun,,, Wang Zhihuan, Wang Wei, Chu Guangxi and Chang Jian. He was demoted several times, living in remote Lingnan and Xiangxi, traveling to and from the economically developed Central Plains and Southeast China, to the northwest frontier, and even to the area of Broken Leaves (now Kyrgyzstan). Because of his rich life experience and extensive friends, it is of great benefit to his poetry creation. Wang Changling is good at seven-character quatrains, and he is called the seven-line master by later generations. For example, the poem "Out of the Great Wall" wrote: "The moon passed through Qin, and the Long March people did not return. But make Longcheng fly, and don't teach Huma to cross Yinshan. " Lamenting the incompetence, broad artistic conception, deep feelings and boldness of vision of the garrison commander is indeed a treasure in ancient poetry and is hailed as a masterpiece of the Tang Dynasty. Another example is Joining the Army, which is also a well-known masterpiece. Funeral march and Song of Picking Lotus reflect the unfortunate experiences of ladies-in-waiting, which are delicate and vivid, fresh and beautiful, with a sad style and superior artistic conception, and express the feelings of missing women and the innocence of girls. Farewell work "Lotus Inn and Xin Jian Parting" is also a masterpiece through the ages. Shen Deqian's "Three Hundred Tang Poems" said: "The Dragon Label is a quatrain, full of affection and bitterness, with vague meaning, unpredictable and endless aftertaste."

Yan Qiuxiao killed Wang Changling because he was jealous of talented people, which really destroyed China's ancient poetry and was a sinner of the Chinese nation forever.

According to the Book of Old Tang Dynasty and Biography of New Tang Shuyi, Wang Changling has five volumes handed down from generation to generation in the Tang Dynasty. Today, it's hard to find. The Whole Tang Poetry contains four volumes of Wang Changling's poems and six articles. At present, I can only see Wang Changling's poems.
