Zhang Jiuling's Three Songs of the Mid-Autumn Festival: Leisurely Heaven and Heaven, Cutting Hometown Feelings
"The sea is born of the bright moon, and the end of the world is at this time."
The lover complained about the night, and even thought of each other at night.
Extinguish the candle and fill the light, and the cloak feel dewy.
Can't afford to give away, but also sleep in the dream of a good period. Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan"
When people talk about Tang poetry, they will be illuminated by the light of Li Bai, and Li Bai is even associated with Mingyue, leaving countless Mingyue poems. However, in writing the Mid-Autumn Festival, his "Quiet Night Thoughts" had to give way to Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan", Zhang Jiuling's sentence "The sea is born of the bright moon, and the end of the world is at this time", which completed Li Bai's "looking up at the bright moon and looking down at his hometown." "Because Zhang Jiuling's atmosphere is more intense, just like the melodious reverberation of Huang Zhong Dalu, it is more vibrating.
Zhang Jiuling was a young Tang Jinshi, a famous minister and politician of the Tang Xuanzong era, he was 12 years older than Tang Xuanzong, this person who was almost the same age as Tang Xuanzong, and Tang Xuanzong, Zhang Shu and others jointly created the Kaiyuan prosperous era, and for a long time was the humeral arm of Tang Xuanzong. He lived to be 68 years old, and at the age of 64, that is, in the year of Tang Xuanzong's 52nd year, An Lushan's crusade against the Khitan was defeated, and Zhang Jiuling keenly perceived that this person had a rebellious heart and would be a problem for the imperial court, and asked Tang Xuanzong to kill An Lushan. However, at this time, Tang Xuanzong had been peaceful for a long time, rich in the world, blindly confident, believing that he had the ability to control and suppress An Lushan, and leniently released An Lushan.
Moreover, Tang Xuanzong also rebelled against his advice and transferred Zhang Jiuling out of the capital to Jingzhou. In fact, it is to let him stay away from his side and find a far away place to retire. Four years later, Zhang Jiuling died. Before his death, he was homesick and pleaded with Tang Xuanzong to let him return to his hometown of Shaoyang, Guangdong, but to no avail.
The empire, as Zhang Jiuling had insightfully, glided through the surface prosperity of Tang Xuanzong's blind self-confidence until the Anshi Rebellion broke out. Tang Xuanzong suddenly woke up, but it was too late, and on the way to Sichuan, he ordered someone to pay tribute to Zhang Jiuling in Qujiang, Guangdong.
So I write so much, is it related to Zhang Jiuling's poems? Of course. Zhang Jiuling is not only a poet, but also a politician in the era of Tang Xuanzong, he is older than Tang Xuanzong, and he is not dimwitted, with a far-sighted temperament, and has achieved a poetic style.
It can be said that this bright moon on the sea, the end of the world at this time, is the king's qi in the poem, not only pervading the Tang Dynasty, but also flowing within reach, a thousand years as new.
So why did Zhang Jiuling open his mouth to be born bright moon on the sea? The actual Zhang Jiuling guangdong Shaoguan Qujiang people. Zhang Jiuling's family has been in Guangdong for generations, and the local wang family has been taken by his father to travel through the mountains and rivers of Nanling since he was a child, and he is no stranger to the sunrise and moon on the sea. Because at that time, the road from Guangdong to Beijing was mainly by sea. The sea route is turbulent, and you can't see the magnificent moonlight on the sea.
Lingnan was still a barbaric land in the Tang Dynasty, although the vegetation was rich, but the traffic roads were difficult and the talents were scarce. Zhang Jiuling spontaneously raised funds and manpower, personally directed the construction, and opened the Dayuling Ancient Road. This road is known as the ancient Beijing-Guangzhou Line. This proves that Zhang Jiuling is a practical talent with great love in his heart.
After Zhang Jiuling became an official in the capital, he was conscientious and busy with affairs, and as Tang Xuanzong's trusted chancellor, he almost did not have much of his own private time and space. And the hometown is not to go back when you want to. Most of his family members are still in their hometown in Guangdong.
So when was this poem written?
Why was the 64-year-old Zhang Jiuling arranged by the emperor to go to Jingzhou to be the "Governor of Jingzhou"? On the one hand, Tang Xuanzong did not want Zhang Jiuling to be around to nag, and on the other hand, the Governor's Office of Jingzhou was actually in charge of the military armed forces in the Lianghu, Liangguang, and Yungui regions, and there was no arrangement for emissaries at that time, and Changshi was actually the highest official. This was an important post, and Tang Xuanzong obviously trusted Zhang Jiuling very much. But he did not know that Zhang Jiuling was already ill at this time, and he most wanted to return to his hometown in Guangdong.
After working here for three years, another August 15 came. Insert a small topic, is the Zhang Jiuling era, August 15 as an important national holiday, merged Tang Xuanzong's birthday, three days off. Moreover, Zhang Jiuling compiled it into the national code "Tang Six Classics".
There is no sea in Jingzhou, but when a bright moon rises, Zhang Jiuling thinks of the sea of his hometown, the heavenly sea of the empire. Countless people looked up at the moon that night, and he was even more so.
This lover was a broad word in ancient times, referring to all people with feelings, including lovers, lovers, relatives, and friends. It refers to all those who miss distant places in separation.
Under such a beautiful and pure moon, the moonlight is like water, shining in the eyes and falling on the heart, and acacia spontaneously rises from the bottom of the heart, hovers under the bright moonlight, and flies back to the distance.
This grievance is used to move people with grievances. Because the ancient autumn equinox and August 15 are close to the beginning of the average day and night, and since this night, the night will be longer than the day, so a remote night, pointing out the night is long. And only the bright moon accompanies. On a night like this, how can you not miss it?
The beautiful moon, the candles extinguished feel more clear, and there are countless crystal dews outside.
But can I take a piece of moonlight and give it to you? I can only sleep and meet you in the same way that I come back to you in my dreams.
In fact, Zhang Jiuling believed that there was a return date, and he was homesick and eager, and he made a report to ask to go home to worship his ancestors. But officials at his level, who knew better about abiding by the law, were even less free than other officials who had been released. He could have arranged it himself, and he had to wait for feedback from Tang Xuanzong or the central authorities.
The information on leave of absence was already sent. But before this reply came down, Zhang Jiuling fell ill and died.
The thickness of this poem is the homesickness of an old man of the empire, and it is his own deepest feelings, which have touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of people.
In the dream, I still fly to you, is the hometown, is the relative, or also has the original love.
"QingYi Jiang Chengyue, streamers of light and miles."
Thinking is like a dream, looking at each other in the court.
Pure moss dew, depressed yellow leaf wind.
With emotion, frequently make the laurel (flower) Huakong. Zhang Jiuling's "Autumn Sunset Looking at the Moon"
In fact, every August fifteenth of Zhang Jiuling has a deep sense of homesickness. This song should also be done in Jingzhou.
When the autumn moon rises on the fifteenth of August, the moon is very different from ordinary.
The streamer is the same, still Zhang Jiuling's consistent atmospheric handwriting, streamer miles, the end of the world at this time.
My thoughts are like in a dream, looking at each other under the moon.
In the era of Xuanzong in the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 already had a major connotation of family reunion. Because Tang Xuanzong clearly stipulated the specific content of the Thousand Autumn Festival, that is, the fifteenth of August, it is necessary to be filial to the elderly, toast to the elderly and add life, and hold autumn rural sacrifices and events in the countryside. And the moon itself is an important folk custom on August 15, so on this day, the reunited people celebrate the festival, and those who cannot get together will naturally look at the moon, pin their thoughts on each other, and send blessings.
It is a pity that Zhang Jiuling participated in the formulation of various festivals on August 15, strengthened and guided folklore, but was not able to really return to his hometown. But I believed that frequent letters could still bring him comfort.
The family was watching the moon, thinking about him, and so was he.
Here is used the legend and allusion of Chang'e throwing osmanthus flowers, and it is said that Chang'e sprinkled osmanthus branches and osmanthus flowers on the world on August 15 because she missed the world. This is also a pronoun for missing.
As a courtier, how he was not Chang'e in the middle of the month, consummated others, and loned himself.
But he has a great love in his life, don't let the lovesickness be like wine, brewing into one reunion dream after another.
"Where are the people of the night, the moon in Chengtan."
Leisurely and spacious, cut to the hometown feelings.
The foreign objects are silent, and the middle stream is clear.
Thinking of returning to the forest leaf change, sitting sadly on Rewison.
There are Tingzhou cranes, and the dawn is at first sound. Zhang Jiuling's "Xijiang Night Walk"
This one, unlike the previous two, is more personal.
It is still zhang Jiuling's favorite "remote night". On the riverside, on the water's edge far from home, walking in the moonlight.
In his later years, Zhang Jiuling knew that his health was deteriorating, and he also missed his hometown even more.
In the moonlight like water, a full moon in the sky, the water is infinitely clear, the space between heaven and earth is even more empty and vast, he walks under the moonlight, like a lonely crane looking at the moon, every time he looks up, it is a clear and earnest homesickness.
At this time, the heavens and the earth were silent, and only the river flowed quietly in the moonlight.
I want to go home, it's another year of autumn wind and leaves.
I want to go home, another year of dewy clothes.
And at this time, there was a lone crane, when the moon reached the middle of the day, it cried out, my wish.
Zhang Jiuling was personable, he was rarely the tallest among Cantonese people, and even Tang Xuanzong, who loved beauty, liked Zhang Jiuling's graceful demeanor. When Li Linfu recommended Xiang Xiang, Tang Xuanzong asked, can the newcomer be like Zhang Jiuling?
This poem was written by Zhang Jiuling. A heartfelt hometown sentiment, seeing his helplessness and distress.
Tang Xuanzong may really be a rather egotistical and conceited person. If he had Zhang Jiuling's sobriety, or if there would be no Anshi chaos, if he really knew people and was good at his duties, he would not ignore the urgency of Zhang Jiuling's missing hometown. Let an old man die in a foreign land.
And Zhang Jiuling's three bright moon poems on august 15 of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first classic. Every sentence is a simple human heart and heart, the sea is born of the bright moon, cut the hometown feelings!
