The snow scene is very beautiful, and each snowflake carries the aura between heaven and earth to smudge the pale heart of every worldly ant. However, Liu Zongyuan looked at the snowy scenery in Yongzhou and did not find a single trace of beauty. In his eyes, snow is a lonely, unbearable, melancholy, indescribable color.
In 773, Liu Zongyuan was born in the capital Chang'an. His ancestors were officials for generations, and the Hedong Liu clan was one of the most famous and prestigious families. Liu Zongyuan can be said to have been born with a golden key, and since he was a child, he has experienced a prosperity that ordinary people have never seen in their lives. God is sometimes very eccentric, it not only gave Liu Zongyuan a prominent birth, but also gave him a stunning talent.
In 793, at the age of 21, Liu Zongyuan entered the army and the first, the name Zhen Da Tang. At this time, he was like an awl, emitting a sharp light. He wants to establish great achievements and achieve supreme merits, and he also wants his name Liu Zongyuan to always exude infinite charm in history.
Such a state of mind, such an idea, and such a original intention are the true portrayal of every young person since ancient times. Liu Zongyuan unleashed his talents in the storm clouds of Chang'an City, and ten years later, on a October day, the sky of Chang'an City suddenly flashed and thundered, and Liu Zongyuan sat in the position of supervising Yu Shilixing.
Since then, Liu Zongyuan has stepped into the circle of the upper officialdom. Many high-ranking ministers admired the young man's talent and threw olive branches at him. But he thought that the hands of these ministers were too dark to shake hands with them. He was determined to eliminate the dark corruption of politics and give the Tang Dynasty a clean and tidy job.
The political stance doomed Liu Zongyuan not to be a decent official, and he became an important figure in the new faction of the Cultural Revolution. On January 26, 805, Crown Prince Li Xuan succeeded to the throne as Emperor Shunzong. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Wang Shuwen and others were reused. Wang Shuwen, the leader of the new faction of the Cultural Revolution, promoted Liu Zongyuan to the position of foreign minister of ceremonies.
This is the highest position of power obtained by Liu Zongyuan in his life, and it is also the highest moment in Liu Zongyuan's life. Together with Wang Shuwen, he vigorously promoted reform measures and led Datang to a new situation. Liu Zongyuan's life dream is running towards the end, but when it is about to reach the end, God has withdrawn his favoritism towards Liu Zongyuan.
In 805, Shunzong was forced to take the position of prince Li Chun, also known as Emperor Xianzong, known in history as "Yongzhen Inner Zen". After Tang Xianzong ascended the throne, he vigorously cracked down on the political clique headed by Wang Shuwen. In September of the same year, Liu Zongyuan was demoted to the title of Assassin of Shaozhou. He looked confused and rushed to the post, and half a life's effort was in vain in an instant, he could not accept it but had no choice.
Before he could reach Shaozhou, the imperial court demoted him to Sima of Yongzhou. Other members of Wang Shuwen's political clique were also demoted to Sima and later known as the "Second King and Eight Simas". This title implies the word "Wang Ba", he Liu Zongyuan is not a Wang Eight, lingering in the cold world, and does not dare to show his head for half a minute.
After half a lifetime, the end was empty, and Liu Zongyuan's future path was completely blocked by the political boulder. He came to the wild and silent land of Yongzhou, and he wanted to find someone to talk about the sadness and confusion in his heart, but he turned around and saw that his mother, who had accompanied him through this arduous road, had died not long ago.
The misery of the middle-aged man is that he is surrounded by people who rely on him, but he can't find people to rely on. But the most miserable middle-aged man is the one who cannot find the one to rely on, but he has lost the person who depends on him. Liu Zongyuan belongs to one of the most miserable middle-aged people, he can't find spiritual support, can't find the taste of home, can't find the way forward and the future.
Life is so unbearable, the past can only be recalled. In Liu Zongyuan's world, he was alone in the whole world. So under the snow in Yongzhou and above the cold river, he made a masterpiece of eternity:
A thousand mountain birds fly away,
Ten thousand trails disappeared.
Lonely Boat,
Fishing alone in the snow of the Cold River.
Wang Ba, who did not dare to show his head, even hid his head in the verses, and the word of this poem's hidden head was "ten million lonely". How deep his loneliness was, how deep it was up to ten million.
This is not an exaggerated sentence making, more like a true portrayal. Middle-aged people are not easy too much, career, family and other aspects need a middle-aged man like a machine to keep turning. But the most difficult middle-aged man is like Liu Zongyuan, whose career and family are all lost in an instant, and a machine becomes scrap.
Snow is lonely because it can't embrace warmth. However, Liu Zongyuan envied the snow in Yongzhou because its loneliness was short-lived, so he painted a beautiful static picture of the snow.
For Liu Zongyuan, how good it would be for this moment to be permanently still, so that the ambition of the past was buried forever under the cold river. But the ruthless life always pushes people forward, and it does not die endlessly. He slapped his already numb hands and stepped into the world again.
But Liu Zongyuan landed a package on the cold river surface, which contained a memory of home, a journey about dreams, and a spring beauty of grass and warblers.
In January 815, Liu Zongyuan received an edict asking him to return to Beijing immediately. At this time, there was no wave in his heart, he adapted to the ruthless life, and his inner feelings were forever sealed. He stayed in Chang'an for only a short month, after which he was relegated to the title of Liuzhou Assassin.
After Liu Zongyuan lived in Liuzhou for four years, Emperor Xianzong summoned Liu Zongyuan back to Beijing to take up his post. But this time Liu Zongyuan could never return to Chang'an, and he could only lie weakly on the hospital bed. How much he wanted to go back to Yongzhou again, to see the long-lost snow color of Yongzhou. Only the snow that once read his heart was also the only sustenance left in his lonely journey in life.
But when he was ready to get up, he found that he had lost the strength to walk. He looked out the window: it was a cold November, the snow in Yongzhou should be particularly heavy, a snowflake and a hint of loneliness, and thousands of loneliness slowly came to this ruthless world. He thought to himself, across the winter, spring will come, next year's Yongzhou should be full of grass and warblers flying beautiful scenery, the loved one should also be on the way to come.
After that, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a long sleep, in this eternal dream, the snow in Yongzhou was particularly warm and full of the smell of spring.
Life has made every middle-aged man armed with a hard shell, carefully protecting himself, and surviving every cold torture like Wang Ba. In the turbulence of life, you are Wang Ba, I am Wang Ba, every middle-aged us is Wang Ba, I hope we can all find our own outcropping days, instead of Liu Zongyuan to taste what the warm snowflakes are.
