When it comes to the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Lun, everyone is familiar with these two poems:
Second
The forest dark grass is frightening, and the general leads the bow at night.
Ping Ming looked for white feathers, not in the stone edge.
Third
The black geese of the moon flew high and fled alone at night.
To drive the light horse away, the snow is full of bow knives.
Lu Lun (739–799), courtesy name Yunyan, was a native of Pu County, Hezhong (present-day Pu County, Shanxi), whose ancestral home was Fanyang Zhuo County (present-day Zhuozhou, Hebei), was born in the fourth house of the Northern Ancestor of the Lu clan of Fanyang, and was a descendant of Lu Shangzhi, the Assassin of Northern Wei Prefecture and the Grand Master of Guanglu.
He can be said to have been born into a famous family, but unfortunately, his family was not well-off, his father died early, and fortunately, there were many books in the family. However, I was sick and my life became more and more difficult, so I could only spend time at my uncle's house. He said in the poem "Lun and Ji Shilang Zhongfu Sikong Lang Zhongshu Miao Ren Wai Fa Cui Supplement Que Gong" said: "I began to study at the age of eight, and there were soldiers in the four directions. ...... He is lonely and lowly, and is less sick and sick. In the poem "Going to Chizhou to Visit the Uncle clan to stay on the Kao Gong Lang Zhong uncle", it is said: "It is easy to be lonely and easy to discuss, and its appearance is exactly what it is." There are fewer decaying and prosperous clans, and more foreign families grow. Other countries mulberry yu is there, stained with blood and tears. Pity the lost geese, frost and mist to send smoke waves. ”
Lu Lun was unsuccessful in his early years, and he failed to succeed many times, but his reputation in the poetry world gradually became famous, and he made friends widely, and during the calendar years, he was in Chang'an, in Poyang, and he made friends with Ji Zhongfu, Sikong Shu, Miao Fa, Cui Zheng, Geng Xiang, Li Duan, etc., known as the "Ten Talents of the Great Calendar". Lu Lun can be called the crown of the ten talents.
Learn and excel, who does not want to toad the palace to fold the laurel, win the meritorious name, seal the wife and shadow! Since this road is not open, another shortcut!
At that time, the poet Li Bai entered the imperial court as an official, but he also failed to pass the imperial examination and befriended a powerful person to ascend to the throne, and had the honor of giving Tang Xuanzong a hanlin court poem to be recruited.
He constantly used his poetry friends in the capital Chang'an to sing and sing, especially befriending the current prime ministers Yuan Zai and Wang Jin, and used them as stepping stones to enter the hall.
Mountains and rivers are doubtful and there is no way, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village. Sure enough, when Yuan Zai, who was the right servant of the Emperor Yipin, fed Lu Lun's poems to Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Daizong saw Lu Lun's poems and praised them and made up for them. Later, because of the courtesy of the chancellor Wang Jin, he was appointed as a scholar of Jixian and a supervisor of imperial history, and in the middle of this time, he served as the commander of Gong County, Henan. It can be said that "the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and the Chang'an flowers are seen in one day." ”
However, after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, when the eunuch dictatorship and the partisan rivalry, Yuan Zai and Wang Jin were convicted, Lu Lun was implicated and therefore detained. Fortunately, many confidants asked for Lu Lun's life and was soon released from prison. Friends have more roads to go.
After the Zhu Zhu Rebellion, Lu Lun's good friend Xi Domain expelled Wang Hun of Xianning Commandery from the zhenhe River and summoned Lu Lun as a judge of the Marshal's Office.
Hun Yao, the son of the Tang Dynasty general Hun Shi, is both literate and martial, has amazing arm strength, is good at riding and shooting, and is comparable to the Western Han Fei general Li Guang. After hundreds of battles and great achievements, he was awarded the title of King of Xianning County by the imperial court.
Lu Lun gladly went to the post, although he was on the front line of the war, he could work with his confidants and be closer to the life of the army, and he was very happy for three years.
This made Lu Lun's poetic style more rugged and majestic, and the poems about the military frontier were extremely vigorous, which was difficult for other poets of the Ten Talents of the Great Calendar. Especially "Stuffed Song".
He worked as a copywriter at the General's Mansion during the day, and could only read books in the dead of night. Once he happened to look at Sima Qian's "History of Li Guanglie's Biography", which is recorded: "When he went out hunting widely, he saw a stone in the grass and shot it as a tiger." The middle stone is not broken, and the stone is also regarded. Because of the repetition of the shooting, it can not be re-entered into the stone. ”
When the general of the dynasty, Hun Yao, is not General Fei alive, and Han Liguang is reborn? And he often followed the general out of the city to hunt. So he thought about it a little and wrote a poem:
This is the second part of the famous "Plugged Down Song".
In September of the first year of Yongtai (765), hundreds of thousands of Tubo invaded Fengtian, the Beijing division was shaken, as the commander of the Fengtian garrison, Hun Yao was not afraid of danger, taking advantage of the enemy's lack of preparation, in the night of a month when the black geese flew high, he personally commanded two hundred death squads, leading the soldiers, prancing horses to kill the enemy, the Tubo people did not know, panicked and defeated. Hun Yusheng captured one of the enemy generals, killed a thousand enemy people, and returned on a prancing horse, and none of the accompanying cavalry were hit by enemy weapons. There was also a heavy snow that night, which was really "the north wind swept the grass and folded, and the snow flew in August on Hu Tian". Later, it was found that thousands of soldiers were left behind, full of enemy bows and arrows and knives and guns, covered by heavy snow.
As a judge, Lu Lun was shocked by the feats of the general's heroic heroes, and immediately wrote "Plugging down the Song II":
During the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, Zhang Yanxian passed through the river and saw that the frontline soldiers had a hard life and composed a poem, and Lu Lun, as a judge, immediately wrote six poems. That is to say, the original two songs were expanded by four, so Lu Lun's "Plugged Down Song" is also called "And Zhang Servant Shooting Plugged Down Song". Zhang Yan was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded Lu Lun, praising Lu Lun for his talent like Zhang Jiuling and his talent for helping the world.
Zhang Yanxian returned to the imperial court, dedicated the poem to Emperor Dezong, and praised Lu Lun for his great talent. After Tang Dezong Li Shi saw it, he cried out:
Lu Lun's poetry is unparalleled in the world.
In the fifteenth year of the Zhenyuan Dynasty (799 AD), Chao Bai Lulun was appointed as a hubu langzhong, and served as a deputy ministerial cadre of the state, managing household registration and feng lu.
At this time, Lu Lunnian was already in a state of flux, and he was plagued by many diseases, and he died of illness shortly after taking office.
