If we talk about the unknown and actually very bullish figures among historical figures, Guo Zhen (Guo Yuanzhen) of the Tang Dynasty is definitely one. Briefly citing the glorious deeds of Guo Zhenkai's life, let's see if the cattle have turned the sky?
In the fourth year of Xianheng (673), the grassroots-born, only eighteen-year-old Guo Yuanzhen was admitted to the jinshi, and the jinshi of the early Tang Dynasty had a very high gold content, and in the face of guo Zhen's prodigy kaoba, Meng Haoran, Du Fu, and Li Bai, who were frustrated in the examination room, could only burst into tears.
He was appointed as the county lieutenant of Tongquan County (present-day Shehong, Sichuan), and stayed in this remote and barbaric land until the second year of longevity (693), which lasted for twenty years, which was also the inevitable nature of Guo Zhen as a grassroots, without a family background, there was no noble person in the DPRK, and it was too difficult to think of a leader. However, during Guo Zhen's tenure, as the head of the county public security bureau, he engaged in the work of a ranger, often doing some illegal things, even minting private money and plundering the population, and the people were very disgusted with him and deeply bitter. Similar to Hong Kong's billion inspector Lei Luo, black and white roads are all eaten, and the reputation of the jianghu is shocked, and even Wu Zetian, the emperor of Wuzhou, has heard of this person. Wu Zetian summoned Guo Zhen to the capital and prepared to punish him, but after talking to him, he found him talented. Guo Zhen then presented his "Sword Chapter", and Wu Zetian greatly appreciated it, so he promoted it and reused it. It can be seen from this that if Xueba is sincere in wanting to be a fool, it is also very promising. Li Bai's classmate's jianghu is the jianghu on paper, while Guo Zhen is a real knife and a real gun across the rivers and lakes, from this point of view, Li Bai is also unable to catch up with the horse.
Then as a military general, Guo Zhen served as the governor of Liangzhou, the protector of Anxi Dadu, the shangshu of the army, the grand governor of the Shuofang army, and so on, during which he alienated the Tubo monarchs, made them civil unrest, consolidated the defense of Liangzhou, expanded the territory, and the martial arts were outstanding, and the power was so powerful that after his death, Guo Zhen was among the Wu Temples in the Tang Dynasty, and sat in line with Zhuge Liang and Bai Qi, how many literati born people could do this?
In the second year of the First Heaven (713), Guo Yuanzhen once again served as the Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin as a soldier shangshu, that is, the real Tang Dynasty prime minister. In July of the same year, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang killed Princess Taiping, and Guo Yuanzhen personally led troops to protect Emperor Ruizong of Taishang, and was made a duke of the State for his merits. It was difficult for Li Guang to be crowned a marquis, and Guo Zhen actually became the duke of the country, which was really bullish.
Finally, Guo Zhen was also a famous poet, and his "Sword Chapter" was praised by Wu Zetian and was a famous piece in Tang poetry, and Li Shangyin also highly praised this poem. "Quan Tang Poems" compiled a volume of poems, Guo Zhen's poems are generous and majestic, and even the poem Saint Du Fu is full of appreciation.
Guo Zhen's "Firefly" is a typical borrowed poem, expressing that small people are not willing to be lonely, can not hide the ambition of getting ahead, very inspirational, when the mood is low, may wish to read it, you can rekindle the fighting spirit.
"Firefly"
(Tang) Guo Zhen
When the autumn wind is cold and the moon is clinging, it flies over the shadow of the high wu.
If the darkness teaches the same kind, the world will be known.
Guo Zhen said:
The moonlight is gentle, and the autumn breeze is cool;
Fireflies flutter in the shadows of sycamore trees.
If, like other nocturnal creatures, you only know how to hide,
So, how can anyone in the world know about me?
If people do not have dreams, they are really no different from salted fish, only dreams and no action, still a salted fish. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji had a poem cloud "with ten thousand volumes of poetry in his belly, and refused to bow his head in the grass", which is probably Guo Zhen's mentality. Unlike Du Fu, who has the ambition of "to Jun Yao Shunshang" but has no practical action, Guo Zhen is an action faction, and when he has the opportunity, he will go along with the pole, and if he has no chance, he must also toss something to create opportunities, and people like Guo Zhen have a great chance of success in any era.
Yu Shinan also has the poem "Fluorescent" "Fear no one knows, alone and secretly bright", which is the same reason. Night traveling in brocade and pearls are always a regrettable thing.
