In the long river of china's historical development, the Han Dynasty was the first feudal dynasty to enter the period of strength, in addition to military and economic, there were many works in literature.
The "Records of History", "Book of Han", and Lefu poems have all been admired by future generations. Moreover, the Han Dynasty, as the rise of Han culture, most Chinese have a special love for this era.
Confucius's Confucian literature, the Han people's own traditional clothing and ornaments - Hanfu. In today's society, it is still sought after and loved by many men, women and children. In such a strong cultural atmosphere, Han Gaozu Liu Bang seemed more or less out of place.
As the first administrator of the dynasty,
Liu Bang was born in a cloth cloth, with no family lineage or background, let alone a good cultural influence.
Even with such a level of education, Liu Bang, who reigned for 7 years, still left two masterpieces passed down from generation to generation.
In the complete opposite of his lineage, Qianlong, the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, as a royal heir, enjoyed good educational resources from an early age. Personal knowledge is also very profound, and he also loves poetry to the state of madness, and often has feelings. According to historical records, Qianlong wrote more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime.
First, the song of the great wind
In 196 BC, Wang Yingbu was defeated by Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and was killed by ordinary people on his way to escape. When Liu Bang triumphantly returned to the dynasty, he passed through his hometown of Pei County.
So I invited my former neighbors and parents to come and drink together for more than ten days.
One day, when he was drunk, Liu Bang struck an instrument while chanting a song, and immediately created this "Song of the Great Wind" on the spot. Although Liu Bang's education level is not high, "The Song of the Great Wind" is precisely through the expression of rough and heroic, as well as the expression of all true feelings, even if only three sentences into a poem, it also truly portrays Liu Bang's achievements and fame, and expresses his heroic ambition to dominate the world.
But at the same time, he also expressed his concerns, Liu Bang started a soldier at the age of 47 and became emperor at the age of 54.
Although he quelled the rebellion of the king of the opposite sex, he thought of his age and the threat of the Xiongnu in the north, and lamented where the warriors defending the country were.
2. The Song of the Birds
When composing this poem, it can be clearly felt that Liu Bang's state of mind at this time is completely different from when he composed "Song of the Great Wind". Everywhere reveals helplessness, as well as desolation. At that time, Liu Bang was old and needed to establish a crown prince to inherit the throne.
Empress Lü's son Liu Ying, as the eldest son and grandson, became the crown prince in name only.
However, Liu Bang was actually not satisfied with the crown prince Liu Ying, believing that his talents were limited and he was not capable of making the Han Dynasty long-term peace and stability. Liu Ruyi, the son of Lady Qi, has outstanding ability and has the talent of Anbang. Liu Bang liked it very much, therefore
He wanted to depose the crown prince and make Liu Ruyi the crown prince.
ultimately
The abolition of the prince was not successful.
Although Liu Banggui was emperor and had the power to kill and could make any decision he wanted, considering some objective reasons, he still did not insist on going his own way. The reasons for this have to be pondered.
And these four reasons are the most important:
Empress Lü Yan's family background and kindness to share the hardships with Liu Bang. All the court ministers, including his brothers who were born and died with Liu Bang, vigorously opposed it. Zhang Liang's plan allowed the crown prince to get the support of Liu Bang who did not invite the "Shangshan Sihao". The Han Dynasty was initially determined, worried that the deposed prince would follow in the footsteps of the Qin Dynasty.
At this point, Liu Bang had another unwilling heart, but seeing that the prince was very happy with many sages, he no longer insisted. Knowing that he was powerless to return to heaven and seeing Lady Qi who could not cry, Liu Bang could only be relieved:
"Dance for me, I will sing for Ruochu.".
"The Song of the Birds" was created under such circumstances.
Third, the creator Qianlong
In ancient times, people's admiration for literati rioters can be said to be a lesson from heaven and earth. Therefore, the ancient kings, in order to show their literary style, many kings will be attached to the elegance, which is a thing that is beyond reproach. But those who can do too much to be vassals,
In history, the Qianlong Emperor was definitely ranked first.
What can become people's talk of after dinner is that he stamped other people's works and composed more than 40,000 poems himself.
"Qianlong Baoxue" contains more than 1,000 seals of the Qianlong Emperor, and there are also more than 700 seals that are not recorded, a total of more than 1,800 seals!
Qianlong ruled for sixty-three years and set a historical record, that is, he wrote more than 40,000 poems.
It should be known that there are more than 49,000 Tang poems known today, and the works of Qianlong alone can catch up with the works of a dynasty.
Like the well-known poet Li Bai, there are more than a thousand poems circulated in the world; Lu You lived to be more than eighty years old, and there are only more than 9,300 poems; Bai Juyi's poems, which have been handed down more than 3,000; and Du Fu has only more than 1,500 well-documented poems.
So
The Qianlong Emperor was definitely a prolific poet.
But its quality may not be mentioned. I believe that the poems that can be remembered in everyone's hearts should only be the poem "Flying Snow" included in the primary school textbook.
This is an easy-to-understand work, in fact, Qianlong has written a lot of this kind of poetry. Eating a cucumber wrote a poem "Cucumber"; there is also a rather smooth temperament of "Gao Qipei Finger Painting Tiger" and so on.
It can be seen that Qianlong's poems belong to the realism school completely, and they are often sent from the scene and have no deep meaning.
4. Summary
Liu Bang started from scratch, overthrew the Qin Dynasty, fought against Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, and quelled the rebellion of the heterosexual king.
It can be said that the whole life has come step by step, and the perception of its life is far more than that of others.
Qianlong was born in the hotbed of the royal family and did not experience the hardships and obstacles of fighting the country. Although Miaojiang and Tibet were pacified during his reign, on the whole, it was mainly based on the stability of the country. After taking over the rectification of his father Yongzheng, the team of officials also
The heyday of the Qing Dynasty was continued.
Therefore, it can be seen that Although Liu Bang only wrote two poems.
But every word expressed the truest emotion in his own heart at different stages at that time.
At the same time, through poetry, he also told the world what he thought and worried.
In Qianlong's poems, it is more in the description of every scene he has experienced, simply from the scene to the sense, without any writing, and does not have a deeper meaning, just a simple literal meaning.
Compare the two,
It can be fully seen that Liu Bang's verses are expressed more sincerely in the deep meaning.
Qianlong, on the other hand, is more like writing note-taking notes, closer to slipping through the mouth and playing oil poems. This is why in history, the two few poems created by Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, have been evaluated and praised in later generations far higher than the more than 40,000 poems written by the Qianlong Emperor.
