Li Bai (70 1~762), whose name is Taibai, is a violet layman. His ancestral home is Ji Cheng in Longxi (now Qin 'an County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province). At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he rented a house in Central Asia to commit crimes. Li Bai's family background and birthplace are still a mystery, and there are different opinions in academic circles. Li Bai was born in Broken Leaf City, which is under the jurisdiction of Duhu Prefecture in Anxi, and moved to Qinglian Township, Changlong County, Mianzhou at the age of five.
Li Bai is unrestrained, loves the style of strategists, loves Ren Xia and despises commodities. I spent my early years in Shu. His father is a rich businessman. Li Bai began to roam the whole country at the age of twenty-five, passing through Hubei, Jiangxi, Henan, Shandong and other places.
Li Bai despises powerful people. It is said that he was drunk and Gao Made took off his boots in front of Xuanzong. Gao Lishi thought it was a great shame, so he picked Li Bai's poems and angered Yang Guifei. Every time Xuanzong asked Li Bai to be an official, Yang Guifei stopped him. Knowing that Xuanzong's cronies had a problem with him, Li Bai begged to return to China. Xuanzong gave him property and told him to leave.
Li Bai was a great romantic poet in China in the Tang Dynasty, and was known as "Poet Fairy". His poems are heroic and magnificent, containing the fantasy of breaking through the reality, reflecting on the sufferings of people's livelihood at that time and attacking the political darkness. His prose is fresh, clear, unrestrained and fluent.

Wang Wei
Wang Wei (70 1-76 1) was a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Qi zhou (now Qixian County, Shanxi Province) was born and later moved to Zhou Pu (now Yongji, Shanxi Province). Born into a bureaucratic landlord family, Wang Wei is versatile. He is not only highly accomplished in poetry, but also proficient in calligraphy, painting and music. In the 9th year of Kaiyuan (72 1), Wang Weizhong was a scholar, who successively collected the remains and supervised the empire. When An Shi Rebellion invaded Chang 'an, they were captured and forced to hold a fake post. After the recovery of Chang 'an, it was reduced to Prince Zhongyun. This official eventually became the right minister of Shangshu, that is, Wang Youcheng.
During his stay in Zhang Jiuling, Wang Wei was full of initiative and enterprising spirit, and his poems also showed high spirits. After middle age, with the deterioration of the political situation, Wang Wei lived a secluded life in Zhongnan and Wangchuan Villa, devoted himself to the creation of pastoral poetry, and became a representative writer of the pastoral poetry school in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Wang Wei's pastoral poems directly inherited Tao Yuanming's elegant, indifferent and far-reaching artistic style, which is famous for his meticulous observation and keen feeling. "Painting in poetry" is a remarkable feature of Wang Wei's poetry. Su Dongpo once said: "There are poems in paintings, poems in ink and paintings in poems." His poems are often poetic and picturesque, creating a memorable artistic realm, with fresh and elegant style and distant artistic conception. In his later years, Wang Wei fasted for a long time to worship Buddha, and his pastoral poems were obviously imbued with Zen. This is Wang Youcheng.

Lu you
Lu You (1125-1210) was born in Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Lu You is a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he has many masterpieces, such as "Being a ghost hero before he dies". Julian Waghann will celebrate Central Plains Day in the north, so don't forget to tell Nai Weng about the family sacrifice. Be widely sung by people.
There are more than 9,300 poems by Lu You. He said that "ten thousand poems in sixty years" is not an imaginary number. Among them, as many as 300 songs about tea. Lu Fangweng was an official in Fuzhou, transferred to Zhenjiang, visited Sichuan and Jiangxi, traveled all over the country, and tasted famous tea everywhere in the great rivers and mountains. Lu You's complex of tea poems is the most prominent among poets in past dynasties. He wrote more than 200 poems about tea in his life, which is the highest among poets of all ages. Lu You's tea poems cover a wide range. From the poem, we can see his love for Jiangnan tea, especially hometown tea. He compared himself to Lu Yu. "I'm a bamboo man from Jiangnan, and I'm Jiquan Leisure Tea." This "hometown tea" was Shaoxing Rizhu tea at that time. He believes that "the day in the bag is cast all over the world, and it is unsightly to be a famous spring." "Spring blossoms, and the tip of your tongue will taste forever." Lu You also described the "tea-sharing game" in his poems. Separating tea is a highly skilled game in the process of making tea. Experts can use waterline and tea foam to form various patterns on the teacups, also known as "ink painting". Lu's poems reflect that he often shares tea with his son to help his life.
Lu You chanted "short paper inclined to be grass, clear the window and divide tea into fine milk" in the poem "Spring Rain in Lin 'an". The leisurely and boring mood revealed in the poem indirectly reflects the heavy social scene of the country's troubled autumn and the patriots being left out in the cold, and also reflects the corruption and decline of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Bai Juyi
Among ancient Shanxi poets, Bai Juyi is the most famous. He is another great poet after Li Bai and Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty, and he is also known as the three great poets in the Tang Dynasty with Li Du.
Bai Juyi, a native of Taiyuan, was born in an official family. His great-grandfather, great-grandfather and grandfather are all officials. My father is a doctor in Chaofeng, a driver in Xiangzhou and a young girl in Dali. He is a gift to the servant of the minister of punishment. Because his ancestors were officials in Henan, he lived in Henan. Bai Juyi was born on the 20th day of the first month of the seventh year in Dali, Tang Daizong (AD 772), from Dongguofu, Xinzheng County, Henan Province. Wu Zonghui Chang died in Luoyang in August in the sixth year (846) at the age of 75.
When Bai Juyi was born, Li Bai had died 10 years, and Du Fu had died for 2 years. The times need great poets, and Bai Juyi came at the right time. He came from a scholarly family and was extremely clever since he was a child. He learned to write poetry at the age of five or six, and he could distinguish rhyme at the age of nine. In addition, his family and society gave him great stimulation and supervision. He studied very hard when he was young. Later, recalling the reading situation at that time, he said, "I study at night and sometimes I study poetry." I haven't slept for a long time, so that my mouth is sour and my elbow is sore. " When I was a teenager, I once lived a life of refuge, and I knew all aspects of society. These reasons created Bai Juyi, an outstanding poet.
Shortly after Bai Juyi was born, a war broke out in Henan. Pu Town, where Li is located, is divided into more than ten states by Henan, and this kind of chaos seems to continue. Peng Cheng County magistrate promoted him to be Bai, a special bus driver in Xuzhou, and sent his son Bai Juyi south to avoid chaos. I have taken refuge from home since I was a child, and later I went to the north and south to prepare for hardship. So when he was 15 years old, he wrote a quatrain that recorded the true feelings at that time; "What do you want from your hometown? Li Yu in Wushan Bay, Chushui. Today, because you went to see your brother, I cried several lines in a book. " Later, there was the Seven Laws of Sending Brothers and Sisters, which was also well written and has been praised. The poem reads: "My fields and gardens were destroyed by the war, and my flesh and blood became the scum of the street ... * * * When you look at the bright moon, you should cry, because your heart is sick in five places." From these poems, we can see Bai Juyi's living conditions and psychological feelings at that time. The separation of his family's flesh and blood can also reflect the degree of social unrest and people's displacement at that time. Bai Juyi spent his boyhood in such an environment.
When Bai Juyi was 0/6 years old, he had written many good poems that could be handed down from generation to generation, the most famous of which was the five-character poem Farewell to the Ancient Grass. It is said that Bai Juyi came to Chang 'an for the first time to visit the old poet Gu Kuang. When Gu Kuang heard that his name was easy to live in, he joked, "Chang 'an is expensive, but it is not easy to live in it. "I read the poem" The Mountain Fire is Unfinished and the Spring Breeze is High "and praised it. It is not difficult to live in Chang 'an with such a style of writing. This poem really shows Bai Juyi's extraordinary talent.
Since arriving in Chang 'an, Gu Kuang has become famous for this. Bai Juyi sometimes lives in Chang 'an and sometimes in other places. He has been to Xuzhou, Xiangzhou, Hangzhou and other places, made friends with some poets and really started his career as a poet. At the age of 27, he took part in the provincial examination, was appreciated by Cui Yan, the secretariat of Xuanzhou, and was sent to Chang 'an for an examination the following year. In the 16th year of Zhenyuan (800), he was 29 years old, and he was the fourth and the first scholar. 365-year-old, 438+0, won the top prize in the exam, met Yuan Zhen and others at the same time, and became friends with Yuan Zhen from then on. In the spring of the age of 32, Bai Juyi was awarded the school book lang, which was regarded as a successful career. At the age of 33, he moved from Luoyang to the State of Qin, Bu Juwei, about a hundred miles away from Chang 'an. At the age of 35, he no longer worked as a school book lang, and was later named as a county captain in Zhouzhi. The following year, Zhouzhi County Commandant was transferred to Jinshi Examiner to supplement Jixian Academy. This winter, he was awarded a bachelor's degree in Hanlin. Just before and after he was awarded a bachelor's degree in Hanlin, he married his sister Yang Yuqing. In the third year of Yuanhe (808), he worshipped the left and collected the remains.
Li Jifu, the prime minister at that time, was dissatisfied with Niu Monks, Confucians and others who criticized the failure of state affairs. Bai Juyi, who was newly appointed as a scavenger, went as far as "On the Human System" and said that he was arbitrarily relegated, so he offended Li Stepfather and Li Deyu and his son, and unfortunately fell into the whirlpool of political struggle at that time. Bai Juyi was always pushed out by Li Deyu in the decades-long struggle between Niu and Li, which determined that his life's official career was not smooth. During his ear-picking, he did his duty and repeatedly dissatisfied the emperor or the powerful minister.
In April of the 6th year of Yuanhe (8 1 1), Bai Juyi settled in Wei Village due to his mother's death, and his beloved daughter Jin Luanzi also died in this year. Bai Juyi has lived in Weiwei village for more than three years, suffering from poverty and illness, and his good friend Yuan Zhen often takes out money to help him tide over the difficulties. In the winter of the ninth year of Yuanhe (8 14), he was named "Dr. Zuo Zan", but later he asked for the urgent arrest of the person who stabbed Wu. As a result, he was hated by the Prime Minister, demoted to the state secretariat, and later demoted to Jiangzhou Sima by Wang Ya, the official of Zhongshu. This continuous relegation is a great blow and lesson to Bai Juyi, which has greatly changed his thoughts. In order to avoid disaster and suspicion, in Jiangzhou, "no more speaking out", "the world will never speak out again", claiming to be "a person who has fallen to the end of the world" He traveled and wrote poems as his career, longing for Tao Yuanming, hoping to be a recluse poet and turn to Buddhism in an attempt to get rid of Buddhism. In short, being demoted to Jiangzhou Sima is a major turning point in Bai Juyi's life.
Bai Juyi lived in Jiangzhou for four years, then moved to Zhongzhou, and was recalled in Yuanhe fifteen years. Xianzong collapsed, and Mu Zong succeeded to the throne, and he was named the Chinese Book Scheeren. Later, he paid a visit to Dr. Shang Shu, learned the imperial edict, sent the doctor away, and transferred to Zhu Guo. Bai Juyi's spirit is heavy and exciting. In the poem, he said, "If you get water, you can get fish, and riding a crane can also be spiritual." However, due to the fierce factional disputes at that time, he was not only powerless, but also "worried all the time" and marveled at "the danger of a trap under the high position". Soon I was disappointed again. Afraid of being a victim of power again, he dared not stay in North Korea for a long time, so he asked to go abroad. In the second year of Changqing (822), he went out to be the secretariat of Hangzhou, avoiding the court that was cruelly wooed by his cronies. Since then, his thoughts have been further depressed. The poem said: "Who knows that fame and fortune are exhausted, and there is no peace." "Dare to speak slowly and be safe." Let it go, let it go, it's a little forgotten. In order to get rid of the troubles of life, Bai Juyi indulged himself with prostitutes, music, poetry and wine. He went whoring and drinking until his later years. Tibetan prostitutes began to have fun in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and were common in the Tang Dynasty, especially Bai Juyi. There are more than a dozen prostitutes whose names are known from his poems. Alcoholic, according to him, "only drunk is the hometown", "often drunk, not awake all day." Song people counted Bai Juyi's poems and said that he had "2,800 poems and 900 drinkers." So it's all escapism and self-anesthesia. He further sought spiritual support from Buddhism, sought a way of liberation, and anesthetized and comforted himself with the negative thoughts of Buddhism. Bai Juyi, who was recorded in Biography of Monks in the Great Song Dynasty, paid a visit to the monks, asked about Buddhism and discussed with them the magical use of Buddhism, mostly after leaving Hangzhou. Bai Juyi then fasted and sat in the Dojo. From then on, he became a good Buddha and often fasted for three months, that is, sitting in the Dojo at home in January, May and September. Therefore, Bai Juyi is also a representative of ancient literati who worships Buddhism and is philosophical, and many people in the past dynasties admire him. In fact, his worship of Buddha is not really to serve the Buddha, but to relieve his troubles and seek liberation. It was a passive resistance to society, a retreat, and a helpless choice under the social environment at that time. It is caused by career bumps and disappointments. After the pain, I devoted myself to releasing my family. Bai Juyi's Biography of Mr. Zuiyin in his later years expressed himself in Baiyun: "Sex is addicted to alcohol, piano and obscene language. All drinkers, piano friends and poetry friends swim with them, and after swimming, they live in their hearts and release their homes. " We can see that he likes to drink in front of the Buddha. He even doubted whether there was a Buddha. At the same time, I learned alchemy. Strictly speaking, Bai Juyi is not a true Buddhist believer. At the same time, his worship of Buddhism is also for fitness reasons. That's why he sometimes sits in the Dojo while fasting, thinking about prostitutes and drinking wine.
Although he was passive, a prostitute, an alcoholic and a Buddhist, he played an important role in caring for the sufferings of the people in Hangzhou. The most famous is to build a lake embankment in Hangzhou to store water and irrigate the fields. In memory of him, people built a dam named "Bai Causeway". In addition, they dug six wells in the city for people to drink.
In May of the 4th year of Changqing (824), his term in Hangzhou expired. Except prince Zuo bastard, Shi Dongdu. So, he lives in Luoyang Road. I have been an official for 20 years, but I can't get enough money to buy a house, so I have to pay it back with two horses. This shows that he is an honest official. In the second year, except for Suzhou secretariat, he was only in Suzhou secretariat for more than a year, and was exempted from county affairs due to illness. Liu Yuxi went to the state secretariat, and Liu returned to Luoyang with Bai. A year later, Bai Juyi was transferred to the position of assistant minister of punishments and named Jinyang Gongjun. At the age of 58, that is, in the spring of the third year of Daiwa (829), Bai Juyi said that he was ill and refused to come back. Since then, I have never returned, except for Henan Yin, seeking to avoid illness. At the age of 64, he refused to worship except in the same state, changed to a prince of Shaofu, and divided the company into the east capital. Due to negative emotions and health reasons, he doesn't want to be an official anymore. At the age of 60, his son Ali died, which was another blow to the poet. At the age of 73, he opened eight stone beaches in Longmen to facilitate boat trips. He died at the age of 75.
Judging from Bai Juyi's official career, although he is mostly an official, he is always in a state of anxiety and anger. As a poet, his achievements are remarkable, which can be said to be known to both the government and the public, even to women and children. Probably because of wandering when I was young, I was demoted several times later, and I became an immortal poet because of my extensive experience and deep understanding of society.
Bai Juyi's poems, as I said before, have been well written since childhood. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, the sentence "wildfire spring breeze" became a famous sentence through the ages. The most famous narrative poem "Song of Eternal Sorrow" is a masterpiece of China's ancient poetry, which was written when he served as the zhouzhi county Order at the age of 35. The poem is based on the story of Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, which is circulated among the people. It is fictional and vividly written. It is vivid and touching, and is regarded by critics as a masterpiece of long poems in the Tang Dynasty, which occupies a prominent position in the history of China's poetry. In this poem, he dared to criticize Tang Xuanzong's debauchery. There are even such languages as "the emperor of China, eager to shake the beauty of an empire" and "the emperor, from then on, gave up his early hearing". The affectionate description of them is both ironic and full of pity. Speaking of the situation in Where Are You Going, the pen is quite emotional. The whole poem rises from the twists and turns of the story, full of emotion and complexity, which gives people great appeal.
At the age of 45, he wrote a long poem, Preface to Pipa, which was also highly praised by people. After he was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima, he said goodbye to his friends in Jiangtou, Xunyang. At the farewell banquet on the ship, he suddenly heard the sound of playing the piano on the neighboring ship and invited him to move the ship. He was very sad. It turned out that he was an old singer who lived alone in an empty boat, and he was also infinitely sad, relying on the piano to express his bitterness. After listening to her life story, Bai Juyi was not only deeply sympathetic, but also thought of her own misfortune, which led to the feeling that "we are both unfortunate-we will meet at the end of the day." We understand. What is the relationship between acquaintances? ",and make this long poem comparable to" everlasting regret ". In front of me, I described the living conditions and tragic life experiences of geisha, and then I wrote, "I left the capital for here a year ago, and now I am a sick exile here in Jiujiang." Finally, I said, "But who among them cried the most? , this Jiujiang officer. My blue sleeves are wet. " "Sima Qing", so it has become an allusion. This poem has many advantages in artistic techniques, with meticulous description and harmonious syllables, especially the paragraph describing the sound of pipa, which is really amazing. The most important thing is the sincerity of feelings. These two long poems are priceless treasures left by Bai Juyi to future generations.
Among Bai Juyi's other poems, satirical poems written in his early days are highly appraised and praised, especially Qin Zhongyin and New Yuefu. Bai Juyi, who has just entered the official career, reflects the sufferings of people's livelihood and cries for justice. His courage of "being ignorant of current affairs and keeping secrets" is very admirable. Qin Zhongyin has 65,438+00 songs, the first one is like a sword. The heavy wife accused the government of offering surplus grain and harming the people. "Take my silk and buy my immediate pet." "Being light and fat" describes that the dignitaries attending the banquet are full of energy and rich in food and wine. Finally, "there is a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and people in Quzhou eat people!" Song and Dance is about the happy life of ministers who like to drink in broad daylight and sing and dance in the middle of the night. The conclusion is "I didn't know there were death row inmates who froze to death in the township prison!" " "Buy Flowers" is about rich people bidding for peony in Chang 'an, boasting of luxury. Finally, it says, "A bouquet of dark flowers is a blessing to ten families." Marriage proposal sympathizes with the poor woman who can't get married, the injured friend laments the miserable life in the land of hardship, and the injured house satirizes the giant Daxing Gai Lou, costing "millions". "No Officer" mocked those greedy people who refused to retire in their eighties and nineties. "Maid Li" expressed dissatisfaction with falsely praising some people for not erecting a monument for a good official. Wuxian expressed regret that many people didn't understand traditional culture at that time. It can be seen that they are all critics, whippers and grumblers, which is a powerful exposure to the dark politics of Dezong Zhenyuan to Xian Zongyuan and their early days, hurting the ruling class. No wonder "when you smell Qin Zhongyin, those powerful and close people will look at each other and change color." Bai Juyi is also conceited about his Qin Zhongyin. He said in a poem titled "15" after compiling his collection of poems: "One" Long Hate "has a unique style, and ten" Qin Yin "are close to the sound."
"New Yuefu" and "Qin Zhongyin" are about the same period, which is another important group of poems in Bai satirical poems, with 50 poems, which are about the relationship between Gaozu's martial arts and Yuanhe. The time span is larger and the content is wider than Qin Zhongyin. Bai said his Yuefu poem in "Zhi Zhi": "I am also a disciple of the monarch, why am I depressed? You can't cry. Every article has no empty words, and every sentence should be standardized. A person's work is very dangerous to others, but a poet's words are very painful. If you don't have a high rhythm, don't complain. Pushing songs makes people sick. I hope the emperor knows. " It can be said that he wrote the declaration of New Yuefu, which is also the best interpretation of New Yuefu. Famous works, such as Selling Charcoal Weng, Du Lingcuo, Hyun Si, and Xinfeng Folding Arm Weng, are novellas of New Yuefu. Each poem has a clear and strong central idea, that is, it is stated in the preface that it is "bitter palace", "hurting farmers", "greedy for female labor", "worrying about sericulture expenses", "mourning for the cold", "abstaining from seeking immortality" and "corrupt officials" and so on. These poems have a clear distinction between love and hate. Apart from satire, there are also praises. These poems fully explain what Bai Juyi opposes and praises, and are the true expression of the author's mind. In the Preface to New Yuefu, he clearly declared that these poems were "written for the monarch, the minister, the people, things and things, not for writing." It's true ",claiming that what he wrote is a real event, and it also shows the fighting spirit of a young and middle-aged poet to help the poor and help the evil. In terms of poetic style, he inherited the fine traditions of The Book of Songs, Yuefu classical poems and Du Fu's poems, and adopted the free syntax of folk songs at that time, forming his own creative style.
Bai Juyi classified his poems into four categories. Besides satirical poems, there are leisure poems, sentimental poems and miscellaneous poems, most of which are well written. Generally speaking, early poetry is more valuable than later poetry. It is a pity that his later poems no longer have the edge of youth because of the cold world.
As a great poet and brilliant poet, Bai Juyi's creative talents are various. His poems are diverse not only in artistic form, but also in ideological content and artistic style. One of the greatest characteristics of white poetry is that the language is easy to understand, but at the same time it has undergone a lot of artistic processing. In the poetry circle, there is a story, and an old woman is also explaining white poetry. In "Tang Yin Tong Qian" written by Hu Zhenheng, a poetic theorist in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Wenqian, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once saw the record of Bai Juyi's manuscript, saying that "the original work is not lost, but the first work is lost", which shows that Bai Juyi is diligent in writing and proofreading poems. The artistic level of his poems is the result of the author's efforts.
When Bai Juyi was alive, his poems spread widely and had great influence, which made him very proud. Bai Juyi said in "Nine Books with Yuan": "From Chang 'an to Jiangxi for three or four thousand miles, there are often poets in rural schools, Buddhist temples, anti-tourism and boating; At the mouth of the earth, monks, widows, virgins, there are always servants who recite poems. "Yuan Zhen also said Bai Juyi's poem," In the past twenty years, provinces, temples, posts and walls have been banned without books, and ministers, concubines and horses have no discomfort. As for those who sell Moeller Street in the market, or take it as wine and tea, it is everywhere. "A person's poetry has such a social effect in contemporary times, which is rare in ancient times. Not only that, Bai Juyi's poems gained great international reputation and numerous foreign readers at that time, and were circulated and created in Japan, Silla (now Korea), South Japan (now Vietnam) and other countries. According to historical records, at that time, Emperor Emei of Japan copied many poems of Bai Juyi and secretly recited them in his secret house. King Khitan personally translated the white poems into Khitan characters and ordered the ministers to read them aloud.
It goes without saying that Bai Juyi's poems have a great and far-reaching influence on later poems, and white poems will always be loved by people all over the world and spread through the ages.

Du Fu
Du Fu (7 12-770), a native of Gongxian (now Henan), was born in a feudal bureaucratic family. Grandfather is Du, a famous poet in the early Tang Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period, Du Fu, a young man, wandered between Wu Yue, Qi and Zhao. In the third year of Tianbao (744), he met Li Bai in Luoyang and forged a profound friendship. In the fifth year of Tianbao (746), he went to Chang 'an to take the exam and stayed in Beijing for ten years. In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), at the age of 44, he was appointed as the right guard and led Cao to join the army. An Shi rebelled and was captured by the rebels in exile. Later, he fled from Chang 'an to Fengxiang alone and was appointed as the left gleaner. Soon, he was demoted to join the army in a division in Huazhou. In the second year of Gan Yuan (759), he abandoned his official position and went west, passing through Guanlong. Taizhou and Tonggu entered Shu and settled in Huanhuaxi Caotang, Chengdu. Yanwu, the Chinese ambassador to Xichuan, recommended Du Fu as our advisor and Yuan Wailang of the calibration department, so he is called the Social Work Department in the world. In the first year of Yongtai (765), he left East Sichuan and stayed in Kuizhou for two years. In the third year of Dali (768), I took my family out of the gorge and drifted to Jiangling, Gongan, Yuezhou and Hengyang. Five years (770), he died on a boat on the water in Hunan.
Du Fu lived in an era when the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and disasters broke out one after another. In the increasingly corrupt political situation, his ideal of "respecting the monarch and obeying the people, and then making the vulgar pure" was completely shattered, and his unfortunate experience of suffering made him personally feel the sufferings of the people. His poems reflect the vast social life quite truly, and are full of strong feelings of worrying about the country and the people, and are known as "the history of poetry". He is the greatest realistic poet in ancient China.
Du Fu is good at absorbing nutrition from all excellent literary traditions and carrying them forward, forming a "depressed and frustrated" creative style. He made outstanding contributions to the development of the Seven Laws. Many of his poems, which reflect the sufferings of people's livelihood, inherit the tradition of The Book of Songs and Han Yuefu, and have their own pioneering artistic creations. They are the pioneers of the New Yuefu Movement advocated by Bai Juyi. His works include Du Shaoling's works.
Wen Tianxiang, (1236— 1283) Song Rui, born in Luling (now Ji 'an) in Southern Song Dynasty, was born in Wenshan.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the court was partial to the south of the Yangtze River and the country was weak. 127 1 year, the Mongols in the north ended the fratricidal struggle for the throne, established the Yuan Dynasty, and then targeted the aggression at the Southern Song Dynasty. 1273, the prime minister led 200,000 troops to capture Xiang and Fan alive, taking this as a breakthrough and going down the river. Less than two years later, he came to the suburb of Lin 'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Where Mongolian soldiers passed by, corpses were everywhere, rivers of blood were flowing, farmland was barren, and all walks of life were dying. This is an unprecedented brutal war of aggression, and the Southern Song Dynasty is facing a serious threat of national subjugation and extinction. Wen Tianxiang is a great national hero who fought against aggression under such circumstances.
The court of the Southern Song Dynasty was controlled by capitulationists for a long time. Also in 1259, Prime Minister Jia Sidao secretly knelt down to make peace on the condition that he would give in and cut 200,000 pieces of silver wire in Jiangbei area and 200,000 pieces of silver wire in 2000. However, Bo Yan intended to destroy the Song Dynasty and did not stop invading the south. 1275, Jia Shidao's 130,000 troops were completely annihilated, and the court had no more soldiers. At this time, Song Gongdi was only four years old when he was in office. In court, Empress Xie had to send a "letter of mourning", calling on all quarters in the world to send troops "diligently" quickly. Wen Tianxiang was the magistrate of Ganzhou at that time. He "cried with the letter" and took immediate action. Within two or three months, he organized the first "diligent king" team of nearly ten thousand people. After many twists and turns, he arrived in Lin 'an. Among thousands of local officials, he and Zhang Shijie are the only ones who lead troops and are diligent. This shows how decadent this regime is. 1276 On the 18th day of the first month, when he arrived at Gaoting Mountain, Yan had already surrendered and defected. Other ministers may have surrendered. Although he is willing to surrender, he wants his right-hand man Chen to negotiate. How did Chen Can have the courage? I ran away that night. Thank the queen mother wake only sent a Wen Tianxiang. He faced the danger resolutely, but did not surrender. He believes that "fighting, defending, and moving are not as good as giving" and "at this point in state affairs, you can't help loving your body." He even took this opportunity to observe the actual situation of the enemy camp in order to "save the country." But he didn't expect that while he accused Bo Yan of being detained and unable to return to Song Ying, his militia was also ordered to disband by the capitulators. The ferocity of the enemy never trapped Wen Tianxiang, but the fatuous court and shameless capitulators made him suffer the first serious setback.
1February 9, 276, Wen Tianxiang was escorted to Dadu (now Beijing) and Jingkou (now Zhenjiang). With the help of the righteous, he escaped from the gate of hell. According to his book "Postscript to the Southern Guide", he survived at least 16 times, and after suffering, he fled to Wenzhou on April 8. At this time, he heard that Du Zong's two sons (. Soon, he was called to Fuzhou, where he served as the right prime minister and the Privy Council, and was later appointed as the same governor. In July, Wen Tianxiang raised a handsome flag in Nanjian Prefecture (now Nanping, Fujian Province), calling on heroes from all directions to take their positions and recover lost ground. 1March 277, Wen Tianxiang marched into Jiangxi, recovered dozens of counties in the south, and besieged Ganzhou at the same time. Hunan, Hubei and other places rose up in succession, shaking the south of the Yangtze River, inspiring the people's anti-aggression will and greatly alerting the Yuan rulers. Busy Yuan transferred 400,000 soldiers to solve the siege of Ganzhou, and sent 50,000 troops to pursue Wen Tianxiang. There are only more than 5000 people in the Ministry of Education. In August this year, the empty pit was defeated and several people were sacrificed. Wen's wife and children were captured. Zhao Shichai pretended to be Wen Tianxiang in an emergency, which attracted the Yuan Army, and Cai Wen had to flee. Zhao was killed immediately. This is Wen Tianxiang's second major setback in more than a year.
But Wen Tianxiang didn't lose heart. He made up his mind to fight Yuan to the end. 1278165438+1October, he packed up the remnants, expanded his army and moved to Chaoyang, Guangdong. Unfortunately,/kloc-0 was defeated by Wupoling on February 20th, and Wen Tianxiang could not escape from the encirclement. In order to die, he swallowed the accompanying borneol immediately, but he didn't die, but was captured in a coma. This is his last serious setback.

After Wen Tianxiang was captured, he made up his mind that he just wanted to die a fair death, and he didn't want to live. 1279 10, Yuan Pingzhang Ahema came to Wen Tianxiang prison and surrendered himself. Wen Tianxiang sat for a long time and ignored him. Ahmed cut his throat and left in frustration. At the end of the same year, Yuan Prime Minister Kyle Polo interrogated Wen Tianxiang. Kyle Polo knelt down as soon as he came, but Wen refused, forcing Wen Tianxiang to kneel. On the eve of being executed, Emperor Kublai Khan surrendered himself, taking the position of prime minister as bait, in an attempt to make Wen Tianxiang surrender, but Wen Tianxiang severely refused. Kublai Khan had to ask him, what do you want? Wen Tianxiang replied: "I would like to die!" Wen Tianxiang's great spirit of dying for his country left the enemy helpless. This is actually tantamount to declaring the victory of the anti-aggression war, the victory of justice, and the victory of "righteousness" that I praised. This is tantamount to declaring the failure of the aggressors and all capitulationists and traitors.
1283 65438+1On October 9th, Wen Tianxiang died heroically at the gate of Dadu bus. After his death, he left a lot of poems, such as "Who hasn't died since ancient times, keep a heart and look at history" in Crossing Zero and Ding Yang; Song Zhengqi, written in prison, and Dai Yi Zhao, found in his clothes after his death (Confucius said "to be benevolent" and Mencius said "to be essential", but the righteousness is exhausted, so what did you learn from reading the books of sages? From time to time, it has become a swan song that illuminates the sun, the moon and the mountains, and has become a valuable part of the national spiritual wealth. Therefore, Wen Tianxiang became an immortal national hero.
