The creative background of Ji Hai s Miscellaneous Poems;
1839 is the first year of the lunar calendar. This year is of great significance to the history of China. This year, Lin Zexu, as an imperial envoy, implemented a vigorous "Humen Smoking Ban", which opened the curtain of China's modern history. Then the Opium War broke out in 1840, which became the beginning of China's modern history.
In the same year, Gong Zizhen, a 48-year-old great poet, resigned as director of the Ritual Department and returned from Beijing to his hometown of Hangzhou, where he had been away for fourteen years. The miraculous intersection of the turning point of the times and the personal turning point deeply moved the poet. During this year, Gong Zizhen wrote 350 seven-character quatrains, namely "Jihai Miscellaneous Work".
Gong Zizhen, whose real name is Renji, was originally named Ding An. Hangzhou people. Born in 1792, died in 184 1 year. Judging from the date of birth and death, Gong Zizhen was born at the end of the prosperous period of Kanggan and died at the beginning of modern history. It can be said that Gong Zizhen is a witness to the "great change that has never happened in a thousand years". Although his early death prevented him from experiencing more, Gong Zizhen recorded his keen feelings, deep concern and active intervention in the times through his poems.
Gong Zizhen was a scholar in the ninth year of Daoguang (1829), but because the calligraphy at that time could not describe the overall situation of Taige, she was not awarded the status of Jishi Shu and lost the qualification to enter the Hanlin. Although he served as a cabinet secretary, president of Zongrenyuan and other Beijing officials, he was never able to really participate in the core political life. Gong Zizhen's poems are both thoughtful and affectionate, because of his passionate and brilliant life experience and his psychological entanglement of deep responsibility for the love of Qing Dynasty.
Gong Zizhen, as a scholar-bureaucrat in the Qing Dynasty, actively applied his knowledge and took an active part in real politics. Of course, Gong Zizhen's participation as a "micro-official in the vast Liuhe" is limited to making suggestions. Before the Opium War in Humen, Gong Zizhen deeply felt that opium had poisoned the people of China and eroded the national wealth.
Of course, Gong Zizhen is not alone. People with lofty ideals can still meet in the times. Gong Zizhen and Lin Zexu are close friends. In his early years, he was a member of Xuannan Poetry Society, and he sang a lot. Before Lin Zexu destroyed opium in Humen, Gong Zizhen also wrote a letter for Lin Zexu's heroic deeds, turning his hatred for opium into suggestions for friends and comrades-in-arms, and advocating that all soldiers who manufacture, sell and smoke opium should be put to death.
Of course, civilians who smoke opium are hanged and beheaded for selling opium, and the punishment for the initiator is still more serious than that for simple smokers. It is particularly noteworthy that Gong Zizhen advocates the capital punishment of beheading soldiers who smoke opium, because soldiers are the backbone of the country, and self-destruction of the Great Wall is obviously a worse crime. The letter also put forward the idea of stabilizing prices and protecting domestic enterprises. Gong Zizhen hoped to go with Lin Zexu, but failed for some reason.
