Qi Tang Langtaosha Liu Yuxi.
In August, the waves roared, and the head was several feet high, touching the back of the mountain.
In a blink of an eye, I arrived at Haimen, and the rolled sand was like a snowdrift.
The seventh poem of Langtaosha Formation is about August 18th tide in Qiantang River. Qiantang River, also known as Zhejiang. The mouth of the river is trumpet-shaped and the tide flows backwards, forming the famous qiantang bore. On August 18 every summer, Qiantang River is the most spectacular scenic spot in Haining. At high tide, on the tidal wall, the waves are rough and Malik is rushing, which has become a natural wonder through the ages.
The first sentence of this poem, the roar of the waves in August, describes the trend of the tide, from far to near, shouting with a verb, highlighting the feeling of the approaching waves. The second sentence is about the spectacular scene when the tide reaches its peak. Fierce and turbulent tidal heads, with bodies dozens of feet high, hit the cliffs on both sides. One or two sentences, compared with roaring to the ground and touching the mountain, describe the whole process of the ebb and flow of the tide, and the sharp change of tone sets off the surging tide.
The author introduces:
Liu Yuxi (772-842), whose real name was Meng De, was born in Lushan Mountain in his later years, Han nationality, and was born in Luoyang, China (now Luoyang, Henan) in the Tang Dynasty. It originated from Zhongshan (now Dingzhou, Hebei Province), and its predecessor was Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, calling himself "Xingyang native, Luoyang native".
Bian, a close friend, thinks that Liu Yuxi is a descendant of Xiongnu and was born in Jiaxing. According to Mr. Deng Shengbin's textual research, his father, Liu Xu, suffered an Anshi rebellion and moved his family to the east to settle in Pengcheng. Liu Yuxi was a scholar in the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793). At the beginning, he was appointed as a clerk in Du You's shogunate and an envoy to Huainan, and was highly valued by Du You. Later, he entered the DPRK from Du You and supervised the empire.
armed rebellion led by An Lushan and Shi Siming in 755-763 in the Tang Dynasty
The Anshi Rebellion was a war waged by An Lushan and Shi Siming, the generals of the Tang Dynasty, from the last years of Xuanzong to the early years of Daizong in China (February 755 16 to February 763 17). It is a civil war that competes with the Tang Dynasty for dominance, and it is a turning point in the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. The civil war caused a large loss of population and a sharp decline in national strength in the Tang Dynasty. Because the commanders who launched the rebellion against Tang Dynasty were mainly An Lushan and Shi Siming, this incident was named An Shi. Because it broke out in Tianbao period of Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty, it was also called Tianbao Rebellion.
The essence of An Shi Rebellion is the struggle for power and interests within the ruling class, more specifically, it is the contradictory struggle between the central government and local separatist forces in the Tang Dynasty. Although the leaders of the Anshi Rebellion took advantage of the people's resistance to the Tang Dynasty and ethnic contradictions, it did not affect the fundamental nature of the rebellion.
During the war, due to the atrocities committed by the An Shi Rebellion against the people, there were resistance struggles such as Yan Gaoqing, Changshan satrap Yan Zhenqing and Pingyuan satrap Zhang Xun. These local struggles against tyranny are just, but they cannot change the nature of the whole war at all.
