At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Lingnan poetry dominated the world, of which Zeng Xijing was one of the most important representative poets. Zeng Xijing studied at the Guangya Academy sponsored by Zhang Zhidong, and under the personal instruction of a famous teacher, he succeeded in his studies, and then followed his brother to Beijing to catch the examination, won the jinshi, got the recommendation of Weng Tonggong, and later got the opportunity to go to Japan to investigate, and became a friend of Liang Qichao in Japan. His poems were deeply loved by readers at that time and readers in later generations, and today, we will enjoy the ten poems we have studied together and experience the essence of the ideas behind the words.
It is said that Zeng Xijing was born in a family of scholars, four brothers, he ranked third, received a good education from an early age, deeply influenced by the traditional culture of our country, coupled with his talent and wisdom and diligence, so that he had excellent grades, and became a teacher of the Guangxu Emperor after entering the dynasty as an official. It is worth mentioning that he had a close relationship with Liang Qichao, and when he fell ill in his later years, Liang Qichao visited Zeng Xijing on the sickbed many times, and after his death, the future generations were also cooked by Liang Qichao and several other friends.
As a generation of poetry masters, Zeng Xijing's poetry has a huge influence, looking at its surviving works, it can be roughly divided into two themes, one of which is sad, worried about the country and the people, this is because of the background of the times, the country's political situation is in danger, in this case, Zeng Xijing uses poetry to pin his feelings of concern for the country. The second is to send idyllic poetry, which is also caused by his own encounters, and after he quit the political arena in the later period, he had a peaceful attitude and wrote an elegant life, reflecting his leisurely life mood.
It is worth mentioning that Zeng Xijing is good at socializing, which is because of his generous enthusiasm, kind and simple character, and the poet's character can also be seen in his poems. Among the surviving works of the Zeng XiJing, there has been a significant change in the content of the poems. In the early days, he entered the career, most of his energy was spent on the career, so in the poems reflected the misfortune suffered by the career, generally sentimental, sighing more, the fate of the country and the fate of the individual are intertwined.
He resigned from the government due to illness, and the content was free from the depressed atmosphere, and he found relief and comfort from the pastoral and seclusion. The poems that were studied during this period are relatively more colorful in color, the content changes greatly, and the mentality is more stable, which is also a kind of helplessness, but also a kind of mental liberation. In the early period, he studied and studied Li Shangyin a lot, bringing together the strengths of each family to form an obscure and subtle style. In the later period, he studied Tao Yuanming, and also took Mei Yaochen's poetic style and pursued an idyllic state of life.
In terms of the content of the poems, Zeng Xijing can be described as having worked hard, including chant poems, reward poems, parting poems, sending poems, and idyllic poems. The poems are simple poems; the poems of the feast and the friends talk about wine, outlining a picture of joy; the parting poems express his worries and helplessness about the political situation; the inscription poems show his indifferent mentality; the pastoral poems reflect the yearning for the pastoral life of zeng Xijing, and at the same time show that he has looked down on the cold of the world.
In the early poems, I used to be good at using "dreams" as imagery, showing the consciousness of loneliness and the consciousness of distress to the fullest, and at the same time deeply thinking about my own officialdom, expressing the socializing and communication of the officialdom. Later works focus on the heart of retreat, which is his reflection on life and the meaning of his life.
In short, Zeng Xijing had a prominent position in the poetry circle of the late Qing Dynasty at that time, and he, together with Liang Dingfen, Luo Huanxiao and Huang Jie, was called the "Four Houses of Modern Lingnan". In 1926, Zeng Xijing died at the age of 60. Today, we will enjoy the ten masterpieces of this important poet in the poetry of the late Qing Dynasty, and experience the artistic conception behind the poem and the poet's feelings.
