Liuzhou poetry
1. Liu Zongyuan's poems in Liuzhou

"Climb the Liuzhou Tower and send Zhang Tingfeng to four states"

On the tower at the end of this town, the wilderness began, and our desire reached as far as the ocean or the sky.

The hibiscus flowers beside the moat are swaying in the sudden wind, and the oblique rain is beating the vines on the wall.

We can't see anything beyond 300 miles, except vague Woods and mountains, and there are nine rivers winding in our stomachs.

* * * Come to Baiyue tattoo, don't even want a letter, let's keep in touch with home.

Climb Mount Emei in Liuzhou

I feel lonely in the barren hills and autumn afternoons.

How to look at my hometown? The northwest is Rongzhou.

The title of planting willow drama

Liuzhou willow porcelain has a long history, and it is planted beside the willow river.

Laughing and laughing is a story that continues into the past.

When you cover the ground, you will hang the curtain, and when you dry it, you will ascend to heaven.

Good at thinking of others, but shy of passing on.

"The leaves of banyan trees in Liuzhou fall in February"

The official feeling is full of sadness, and spring is half like autumn.

The mountain city is full of rain flowers and banyan leaves are full of warblers.

Planting citrus trees in the northwest corner of Liuzhou city

200 oranges are planted artificially, and new leaves are spread all over the city in spring.

Fang Tongchu pitied Imperial Tree and didn't learn from Limu slave in Jingzhou.

How old are you?

If you wait until the day of the forest, you will taste as good as the old man.

Liuzhou sends relatives and friends to Beijing.

Linyi Mountain is connected with the sea and autumn, and the water flows forward to the county seat.

The old gentleman asked Longcheng, and three thousand went to the north of Jinzhou.

"Reward Cao Xiang County and send it"

Before the mountain was broken, Meiyu Qinghe flowed eastward; Poet, you stand on the bow of the ship in the distance.

Your message poem is like a spring breeze, which arouses my infinite affectionate thoughts; I want to take Shu Pinghua to see you, but you must be busy because of business.

If the partridge is released.

The sweeter and more vibrant the birds in Chu, they call themselves partridges.

If you don't care about food because of the media, the machinery will suffer.

Feather broken cage, fireworks fan kitchen.

The peony in front of the tripod is mixed, and the banquet is busy.

The King of Qi could not bear to swaddle a cow, and Jianzi also put a pigeon in Handan.

My second son is proud of this, but I am a solitary prisoner in Wan Li.

When the broken cage spreads its wings, it will be far away, and the same kind will not care for each other.

Liuzhou dongman

The county town is connected to Tianjin in the south of the city, and the clothes are not amiable.

Salt-wrapped green bread belongs to the cave guests, and green boiled rice takes advantage of the crowd.

Goose feathers are made of wax to sew mountain points (Kyrgyzstan, wool felt), and chicken bones worship the Year of Water God.

I am anxious for the court to retranslate and want to vote for Zhang Fu's composition.

Planting sweet trees in the northwest corner of Liuzhou city

I personally planted 200 Huang Gan plants, and in spring, new leaves spread all over the city.

Fang Tongchu pitied Imperial Tree and didn't learn from Limu slave in Jingzhou.

How old are you?

If you wait until the day of the forest, you will taste as good as the old man.

See the mountains and rivers with Hao Chu's master and send relatives to Beijing.

Ying Chao on the sea is like a sword, cutting people's sadness in autumn everywhere.

How can we turn this body into tens of millions, scattered to the heads of state's homes to see!

Don't be my brother Zong Yi;

Lonely soul and sorrow, tears cross the river.

The treacherous party, because the party did not leave the capital, lived more than 6 thousand miles away; I left Baiyue desolate, gaunt and poor for the rest of my life.

Guiling malaria forest, black clouds hanging white; Welcome to the beautiful future of Dongting with spring scenery and water and sky.

Fang Wei depends on dreams, and acacia is willing to sleep on the pillow; Wandering in the dim light, the clouds seem to be real.

2. What are the poems describing Liuzhou? 1, "Liuzhou Yaomang" Tang Dynasty: Liu Zongyuan County is adjacent to Tianjin in the south, and the foreign clothes are not amiable.

Green noodles wrapped in salt belong to the cave guests, and green fried rice takes advantage of the empty ones. Goose feathers and wax sew caves, and chicken bones worship the Year of Water God.

I am anxious for the court to retranslate and want to vote for Zhang Fu's composition. There are ferries extending in all directions in the south of Liuzhou, and monks are unable to get close because of their different costumes and language barriers.

People who go home eat green bamboo leaves wrapped in salt, and people who come to the market eat them wrapped in green lotus leaves. Fill the bedding with goose feathers to resist the cold in winter, and worship the water god with chicken bones to predict the year.

I really want to get rid of the tattoo artist's official position, because I have to rely on translation to judge cases. 2. "Climbing Mount Emei in Liuzhou" Tang Dynasty: Liu Zongyuan was alone in the barren hills in the autumn afternoon.

How to look at my hometown? The northwest is Rongzhou. One autumn noon, I climbed the barren hill, alone, lonely and irritable.

Helpless, I can't see my hometown, and the northwest is all high mountains in Rongzhou. 3. "Climb the Liuzhou Tower and send Zhang Ting to seal the four States" Tang Dynasty: Liu Zongyuan, on this towering tower, at the end of the town and the beginning of the wilderness, our thoughts are as far away as the sea.

The hibiscus flowers beside the moat are swaying in the sudden wind, and the oblique rain is beating the vines on the wall. Nothing can be seen within 300 miles, only vague Woods and mountains, and nine winding rivers.

* * * Come to Baiyue tattoo, don't even want a letter, let's keep in touch with home. Looking at the empty wilderness from the high-rise buildings in the city, the vast sadness like sea and sky poured out.

The strong wind randomly overturned the lotus in the water, and the dense rain obliquely hit the wall covered with Ficus pumila. The trees on the mountain heavily cover the prospect, and the river twists and turns like a nine-turn ileum.

We came to Baiyue together, a minority area. Although we are in the same place, it is difficult to get through. 4. In the Tang Dynasty, citrus reticulata was planted in the northwest corner of Liuzhou: Liu Zongyuan planted 200 oranges by himself, and new leaves were everywhere in spring.

Fang Tongchu pitied Imperial Tree and didn't learn from Limu slave in Jingzhou. How old are you? Who can pick out the real pearls? If you wait until the day of the forest, you will taste as good as the old man.

I planted 200 oranges myself. Spring has come, the branches and leaves are green, and the northwest corner of the city is green. I like this beautiful tree of nature as much as Qu Yuan, and I don't like Hengli taking citrus trees as slaves for profit.

How many years will it take to smell the flowers as white as snow? Who would pick a fruit like a bead? If I wait until the day when the orange tree turns into a forest, its delicacy will also benefit my old man. 5, "Fan Raozhou eats puffer fish" Song Dynasty: Mei Sheng Spring Bud, Spring Bank Poplar Flying.

At this time, puffer fish went on the market, and the price was very high, surpassing all fish and shrimp. The puffer fish looks strange enough, and it has no food.

The belly is as big as a big pig, the eyes are prominent, and it is like a frog in Wu area. This kind of cooking, if you don't eat it carefully, will be killed as soon as you eat it, just like the sword of slaughter.

Why should anyone eat food that hurts people like this? I asked southerners, but they were full of praise for puffer fish. It is said that fish is really delicious, and people who are silent about poison are more like hemp. I can't refute them, thinking over and over again, and facing the surprise empty.

Han Yu came to Chaoyang and began to be afraid of eating snakes. It wasn't long before Liu Zongyuan arrived in Longcheng to eat a calm frog.

Snakes and frogs are strange and disgusting in shape, but they have nothing to do with human life and have no fear. The puffer fish tastes better than them, but the hidden evil is boundless.

Beautiful things must be evil, as the ancients said. In spring, buds are born in the small continent near the water, and the willows on the shore bloom all over the sky.

The puffer fish is on the market at this time, and the price is expensive, surpassing all fish and shrimp. The appearance of puffer fish is enough to make people feel strange. No food is so poisonous.

An excited belly is like a big pig with bulging eyes, and it is like a bulging frog in Wu. If you don't cook carefully, you will die immediately, just like being killed by a knife.

Why do people eat life-threatening food like this? I asked southerners this question, but they praised puffer fish and boasted. It is said that this fish is really delicious, and there are so many people who don't talk about poisoning.

I can't refute them, and I am stunned by repeated thinking. When Han Yu came to Chaoyang, he was afraid of eating snakes at first.

Liu Zongyuan arrived in Liuzhou and soon ate frogs calmly. Although the shapes of snakes and frogs are strange and disgusting, they are not harmful to people's lives. Don't be afraid.

Although puffer fish taste better than them, but hidden dangers are endless. Beautiful things must also be evil. The old saying is not bad at all.

3. Praise Liuzhou's poems on the Liuzhou Tower and give them to Liu Zongyuan, the secretariat of Zhang, Ting, Feng and Lian.

On the tower at the end of this town, the wilderness began, and our desire reached as far as the ocean or the sky. The hibiscus flowers beside the moat are swaying in the sudden wind, and the oblique rain is beating the vines on the wall. We can't see anything beyond 300 miles, except vague Woods and mountains, and there are nine rivers winding in our stomachs. * * * Come to Baiyue tattoo, don't even want a letter, let's keep in touch with home!

This is a lyric poem. There are comparisons in Fu and interesting images, which present a moving picture of scene blending, and the expression and feelings of the lyric hero are also faintly visible. This feeling is caused by the specific political struggle environment.

In 805, when he died, Prince Li Yong (Shunzong) succeeded to the throne, changed Yuan Wei to Yongzhen, and reused Wang, Liu Zongyuan and other reformists. However, due to the counterattack of conservative forces, "Yongzhen Innovation" was brutally suppressed in just five months. Wang and Wang Lai were sentenced to death, and eight members of the reformists, including Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi, were demoted to Sima in Yuanzhou respectively. This is the "two kings and eight horses" incident in history. It was not until the 10th year of Tang Xianzong Yuanhe (8 15) that five talents, including Liu Zongyuan, Han Tai, Han Ye, Chen Jian and Liu Yuxi, were sent to Beijing by imperial edict. However, when they arrived in Chang 'an, the imperial court changed its mind and relegated them to more desolate places such as Liuzhou, Zhangzhou, Tingzhou, Fengzhou and Lianzhou for secretariat. This seven-melody was written by Liu Zongyuan when he first arrived in Liuzhou.

The whole poem begins with "Climbing Liuzhou Tower". The first sentence "tall buildings on the city" is preceded by the word "high". The higher you stand, the farther you can see. The author traveled a long way to Liuzhou, but he couldn't wait to climb the peak, in order to look forward to the demotion of his comrades and express his unspeakable feelings. The word "connected with the wild" means that the tall buildings in the city are connected with the wild, which is seen by people upstairs. As a result, the feeling of things came into being, and the phrase "our desire is as far as the ocean or the sky" gushed out from it, showing a vast and desolate space in front of the poet. Looking to the extreme, the sea and the sky are connected. And my own endless "sadness" will fill the vast space. With such a vast realm and such deep feelings, the author seems to have written this couplet effortlessly, taking the soul of poetry and unfolding a grand picture for the following layers of description.

The second couplet, "Lotus-the flowers on the moat fluctuate in the gale, and the vines on the wall are whipped by the oblique rain", is about what you see from a close distance. It's just a close-up, so it's written in detail. As far as describing the sudden storm scene is concerned, this is a "fu" pen, which has both contrast and interest. Qu Yuan's "Lisao" has a cloud: "Make the clothes of lotus, and pick the clothes of hibiscus. I don't know if it is already embarrassing, and I feel that I believe it. " Another cloud said: "Tap the root of the wood to tie a knot and pass through the falling core of Ficus pumila;" Jiaojungui, Yixian, Suohusheng? . It is not a secular service to ask my law to be amended before. "Here, hibiscus and Ficus pumila symbolize the beauty and elegance of personality. Climbing up the tower and looking around, I deliberately picked out hibiscus and Ficus pumila from those I saw. Obviously, their situation in the storm made the poet tremble. The wind, the rain, the anger and the inclination show that objective things project the poet's feelings. Lotus water, why because of the wind, and the wind is still chaotic; Ficus pumila wall, rain is difficult to invade, dense rain oblique invasion. How can this not remind the poet that his worries are pervasive! Here, the contrast between the emotion in the scene, the meaning in the environment and the fu is like the salt in the water, without trace.

Third, write a vision. The opportunity to transition from short distance to long distance is the association caused by short distance. This is my current situation, and what about my friends? So I looked far away and turned my eyes to Zhangzhou, Ting, Feng and Lian. The words "mountain tree" and "river" are written the same, but they all lean back and have different horizons. Looking up, it will focus on the dense forest and block the eyes of thousands of miles; Looking down, the river twists and turns like a nine-ileum. There are feelings in the scene and infinite worries. Literally speaking, it belongs to the scope of "Gongdui", "Hehe Jiuhuan, rolling in our intestines", "Nothing in three hundred miles, only a vague forest and mountain" and "baht". In a sense, it is beneficial to "run clouds and run water" to express the qi of action with the words of parallel couples.

Tail couplet originated from the former couplet, which not only shows the melancholy of caring about the situation of friends, but also has a deeper meaning: looking without seeing, naturally thinking of exchanging visits or asking questions; Looking at the land, overlapping mountains, looking at waterways and winding rivers, it is not easy to exchange visits, even to communicate with each other. This naturally boils down to "music and books in one hometown". However, it ended in this way, with a shallow sense of literature and a straightforward literary spirit. The author's genius. It is because he first used "* * * to get a hundred Guangdong tattoos" as a cushion, and then used "wanderer" as a turning point, which came down to "music and books stuck in one hometown" and received a depressing artistic effect. The sentence "* * * Lai" not only takes care of the "great famine" in the first sentence, but also unifies the "Liuzhou" and "Zhangzhou, Ting, Feng and Lian" in the title. It's sad enough to be banished to the wilderness together, and they are isolated from each other and can't even send audio books! At this point, after reading the poem, the aftertaste is lingering and memorable, and the god of the word "send" in the title is also heard here. It can be seen that poets use pens.

4. Liu Zongyuan and Liuzhou Poetry Liu Zongyuan: Liu Zongyuan was born in Hedong (now yongji city, Shanxi) in the Tang Dynasty. Dai Zongda was born in Chang 'an, the capital in the eighth year of Dali (773) and died in Liuzhou in the fourteenth year of Xian Zongyuan (8 19).

A generation of famous writers and thinkers, under 50 years old. Because he was from Hedong, he was finally appointed as the secretariat of Liuzhou, so he was called or Liu Liuzhou.

Liu Jia, Xue and Pei are also called "Hedong Three Surnames". Liu Zongyuan's eighth to sixth ancestors were court officials, and the fifth ancestor was the secretariat of Sizhou.

After entering the Tang Dynasty, the Liu family had a close relationship with the Li royal family. During the reign alone, there were as many as 22 members of the Liu family living in Guanshushu Province. However, during the Yonghui period, the Liu family was repeatedly persecuted by Wu Zetian.

By the time Liu Zongyuan was born, his family had declined, from the privileged position of royalty to the ordinary bureaucratic landlord class. Liu Zongyuan's great-grandfather and grandfather were just small officials like county magistrates.

His father, Jin Ryu, has always had a low rank. Liu Zongyuan said with emotion that by his generation, Liu had "studied for nothing since May and June".

The Anshi Rebellion caused another great impact on the Liu family. During the war, Jin Ryu sent his mother to the King of Wu for refuge, and she and her family fled to Wudi.

In the south, it was once hard to make a living, and sometimes there was no salary. Liu Zongyuan's mother often starves herself to feed her children.

Liu Zongyuan was born after the Anshi Rebellion, and his childhood was spent in poverty and hardship. When Liu Zongyuan was nine years old, another large-scale separatist war broke out, which made Liu Zongyuan's family suffer from war again.

Liu Zongyuan grew up in turbulent times. He had a certain understanding of the people's sufferings and social reality since he was a teenager, which influenced his later literary and ideological achievements. In the spring of the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793), 20-year-old Liu Zongyuan was admitted to the earth in the senior high school entrance examination, and at the same time, his good friend Liu Yuxi was also admitted to the earth.

In the twelfth year of Zhenyuan (796), Liu Zongyuan was appointed as the secretary of the provincial school, which was regarded as stepping into the officialdom. This year, he married Yang Ping's daughter in Chang 'an. Two years later, he learned a lot of words and changed it to the orthography of Jixian Temple Academy, which allowed him to read widely and broaden his horizons. At the same time, he began to contact courtiers and bureaucrats, understand the situation of officialdom, care about and participate in politics. In the first year of Jixian Temple Academy, he wrote "Love Monument in Yangcheng, Ye Si, Guo Yi" and praised Dr. Yangcheng who had the courage to stick to his own opinions on major political affairs. In the second year, I wrote "Debate and Invasion", which showed my strong desire to persist in unity and oppose separatism.

In the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan (80 1), Liu Zongyuan was transferred to Lantian Wei, and two years later, he was transferred back to Chang 'an, where he served as the army supervisor in Li Xing. At that time, he was 3 1 year old and was an official with Han Yu. Although his rank is very low, his authority is no less than that of Shi Yu. Since then, he has made more friends with the upper echelons of officialdom, gained a deeper understanding of the dark corruption of politics, and gradually sprouted a desire for reform. Wang He and Wang Yong Zhenguan's political reform failed only for half a year, but it was a progressive movement that shook the whole country. The measures taken dealt a blow to the autocratic eunuchs and the separatist forces in the buffer region at that time, benefiting the country and the people and conforming to the historical development.

Liu Zongyuan and his good friend Liu Yuxi are the core figures of this innovation. They are called "Two Kings Liu Liu". Young Liu Zongyuan had a sharp struggle with eunuchs, aristocratic families and old bureaucrats on the political stage.

His innovation and spirit of struggle are very valuable. With the downfall of Shunzong, Xian Zong came to power, and the innovation failed, the reformists such as "Two Kings Liu Liu" were immediately demoted.

In August, Xianzong ascended the throne, and in September, Liu Zongyuan was demoted as the secretariat of Shaozhou (now Shaoyang City, Hunan Province) and Sima of Yongzhou (now Lingling City, Hunan Province). This time, seven people were demoted to Sima at the same time, so history called this incident "two kings and eight Sima events."

Yongzhou is located at the junction of Hunan and Guangdong. It was lonely at that time. It was a terrible place with few people. Liu Zongyuan went to Yongzhou with his 67-year-old mother, cousin Liu Zongzhi and cousin Lu Zun.

After they arrived in Yongzhou, they didn't even have a place to live. Later, with the help of a monk, they boarded in longxing temple. Because of the hard life, his mother Lushi died before he arrived in Yongzhou for half a year.

After Liu Zongyuan was demoted, his political opponents still refused to let him go. Gossip and personal attacks turned him into a "strange man", and after several years, he kept cursing.

This shows the extent to which conservatives dislike him. In Yongzhou, cruel political persecution and hard living environment made Liu Zongyuan sad, angry, depressed and miserable. Coupled with several ruthless fires, his health was seriously damaged, even to the point where his knees trembled when he walked, but he was paralyzed as soon as he sat down.

Liu Zongyuan's political ideal was not shaken by all kinds of persecution and hardships he suffered in his relegation career. In his letter, he clearly stated: "Although everything is excluded, it is nothing more than this."

The fall of Yongzhou 10 year was a major turning point in Liu Zongyuan's life. When he was in Beijing, he directly engaged in innovative activities. After arriving in Yongzhou, his struggle turned to the ideological and cultural field.

Ten years in Yongzhou is a decade in which he continued to struggle. He has extensively studied some important issues in philosophy, politics, history and literature since ancient times, and has written articles and books. Most of his masterpieces, such as Feudalism, Unofficial Dialect, Heaven Pair and Six Contradictions, were completed in Yongzhou. In the first month of the 10th year of Yuanhe (8 15), Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi were recalled to Beijing.

But it has not been reused. Due to hatred of Wu and others, he went to Chang 'an in February and announced his demotion in March. Liu Zongyuan was demoted as the secretariat of Liuzhou (now Liuzhou, Guangxi), and Liu Yuxi was the secretariat of Bozhou.

Although it was promoted from Sima to the secretariat, the demoted place was far more secluded and difficult than before. Liu Zongyuan thought Bozhou was more difficult than Liuzhou, and Liu Yuxi had an 80-year-old mother to take care of, so he wrote to the court several times and asked for an exchange with Liu Yuxi.

Later, because someone helped, Liu Yuxi changed to Lianzhou and Liu Zongyuan went to Liuzhou. Liuzhou is farther from the capital Chang 'an than Yongzhou, and it is even more backward and desolate. Most of the residents are ethnic minorities, living in extreme poverty, and their customs and habits are quite different from those of the Central Plains.

When Liu Zongyuan first came here, he didn't understand the language and everything was uncomfortable, but he was still determined to use the limited strength of the Secretariat to continue to carry out reforms in this place and do something good for the local people. In Liuzhou, Liu Zongyuan decided to abolish the cruel habit of "men and women take money as the quality, redeem it from time to time, and don't be a handmaiden if their children are the same" and formulated a set of rules.
