There was a man in the Southern Song Dynasty who was famous but also controversial. Say that he is patriotic, in his later years, he actually ran to shoot the horse ass of the big traitor Jia, saying that he was not patriotic, some of his ideas, as well as poetry, are really full of patriotic feelings. So someone joked that he, between loyalty and infidelity, born in a country of love and unlove, was a gray man. Of course, this is just a joke when modern people evaluate him, and this person is Liu Kezhuang.
Liu Kezhuang's poetic achievements are actually quite large, leaving aside his late life, the poems he wrote, the style is heroic and generous, is a rare bold lyricist at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, he could also be regarded as a leading figure in the literary world, and at that time, he also became a very large official, equivalent to the current ministerial-level cadres. Only later, I didn't know his short-circuit, and he ran to write the poem "Falling Plum", which offended the people in power.
Liu Kezhuang
People are afraid of taking themselves too important, in fact, there is really no one in the world who can not be separated from anyone, there is never a shortage of talents in the world, what is missing is only the people who cultivate talents, you have offended others, that will make you feel comfortable? There is no one with the surname "The", and there is no one who owes you. So he was cold for ten years, and then he was used, appointed as a general judge, and later promoted to revisionist, which is what we now call editor. Once he went to a friend's poetry friends' meeting, and his friend quipped that he had a link: "Big editing, small editor repair, go to the editing meeting." "Because the person who held this poetry meeting at that time was also a choreographer. This Liu Kezhuang listened to and said, play back to play, make trouble, but do not hurt and be angry. Seeing that his friend nodded, he also spoke with the official position of the other person: "The former sentence, the later sentence, but the name of the judgment." "Because his friend has been a deputy judge five times, he has not been corrected, and he said that people are only deputies, and they have not even put on a full hat, and they can only hear people call him to the official position of judge, and he has no real power, which is really damaged."
However, this also reflects his quick thinking at that time, but this guy is a bit of a memory of eating and not remembering to fight, and he doesn't know what kind of bullshit he did, and he was dismissed by others, and then he began to drift in the rivers and lakes, adjusting this for a while, and adjusting that for a while. It may be because of these downcast official fortunes that he changed his original intention, although he was late in his old age, he ran to hug Jia's thighs and let posterity criticize him.
Saiyuan freezes and returns early
However, his words are indeed filled with style, especially the song "Remembering Qin'e".
Remember Qin'e
Mei thanked, and Saiyuan froze and returned early.
Hong returned early, with Yi interrogation, the old man was left behind.
The west side of the Zhejiang River is quiet, and the north of the Huai River goes to cook less smoke.
Cooking smoke less, Xuanhe Palace, cold smoke fading grass.
The whole word in the vernacular is: the plum blossoms are thankful, the ice and snow in the north have begun to melt slowly, and the geese have flown back to the north early, and I want to entrust the geese who have returned to the north to bring my greetings to my father.
The defenses on the front line were deserted, and the entire border was desolate. The vast land north of the Huai River occupied by the Jin people is sparsely populated, and the once prosperous Xuanhe Palace is now haunted by the smoke of the grass edge.
Huaihe North goes to cooking less smoke
This poem was filled in after the Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, when the Southern Song Dynasty court ventured into the war and wanted to recover the Central Plains, which knew that the preparation was insufficient, and finally returned from the defeat. The surrender faction immediately fanned the flames and took the initiative to negotiate with the Jin people and surrender. Many patriots worry about the country every day, helplessly and incompetently, and can only be lost and sad. At that time, Liu Kezhuang's father was in the occupied area, and the Jin people were a bit like ghosts entering the village, burning and robbing everywhere, and he was very worried about his father, so when filling in the words, in addition to sadness and anger, there was also thoughts of his father.
After reading this poem, I can really read his patriotic feelings, but unfortunately, the incompetence of the people in power has gradually discouraged this enthusiasm, and finally even his original intention has been drowned. It has to be said that the Southern Song Dynasty and the Opium War period were the two darkest moments in Chinese history.
