Famous sentence recitation || In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people

Wuyi Lane

Tang/Liu Yuxi

Wild grass flowers by the Suzaku Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Lane.

In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.

Everyone, everything, is going to change. In this world, the only constant is change. Wuyi Lane has always been a settlement of the Gaomen people. But who would have thought, but in just three hundred years, the six dynasties of Jinling were destroyed. At that time, the Suzaku Bridge was buried among wild flowers and trees, and the swallows that used to inhabit the front of Wang XieTang have now reached the homes of ordinary people.

The reason why the Suzaku Bridge is hidden by wild flowers and trees is because since the overthrow of the Six Dynasties and the shattering of the Jinling Dream, it has gradually returned from prosperity and hustle and bustle to silence. No one came to this Suzaku Bridge to chant poems, taste wine and play, this became an empty bridge in an empty city, no one cared, only the gradually growing wild flowers and trees, little by little cannibalizing its former prosperity. The depiction of this scene vividly reflects the defeat of Wuyi Lane.

At the same time, Feiyan had the habit of staying in the old residence, but the poet said that it flew from wang Xietang to the homes of ordinary people. This may seem contradictory, but in fact it is reasonable. It is not that Fei Yan likes the new and hates the old, pan yan is attached to the situation, and when Wang Xie is defeated, he no longer inhabits. The swallows still live in their old residences, but because of the change of the Six Dynasties and the demise of the magnates, the once magnificent residence has become a stranger to the streets and alleys of ordinary people's homes. This shift more intuitively highlights the defeat of Wuyi Lane.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, the magnate Shi Chong had the Golden Valley Garden, which was prosperous and unparalleled, and it was difficult to compare in the world. Later, Sun Xiu invaded and collected all the treasures, resulting in the destruction of the Golden Valley Garden. But even if jinguyuan is defeated, it is still a famous garden, and there are often descendants who come here to enjoy and play. However, Wuyi Lane was even more completely defeated than Jinguyuan, and it became the residence of ordinary people, and there was no hope of resurgence.

In the end, it is Liu Yuxi's most proud ancient poem, a few words, it will analyze the world's changes, honor and disgrace impermanence so deeply, people have to sigh: poor and lowly wish not to give up, glory should be grateful.

Jinling Five Questions

"Wuyi Lane" is one of Liu Yuxi's representative works. This is a poem that cares about the present and hangs the ancients, and is the second in the Huaigu group poem "Five Questions of Jinling". The "Five Questions of Jinling" includes five songs: "Stone City", "Wuyi Lane", "Taicheng", "Shenggong Lecture Hall" and "Jiang Lingzhai". This group of poems contrasts the eternity of nature with the vicissitudes of human affairs, expressing the feelings of nostalgia for the past and the present. With the evolution of history, the wealth and glory of the nobles in the palaces of the Six Dynasties have become obsolete, and the poems have both compassion and irony for the fall of the emperors and generals who are trying to gain power. The poems borrow ancient metaphors from the present, and the feelings, scenes, events and theories are integrated, the scenes are broad and far-reaching, and the meaning is profound, which can be called the artistic treasures in Tang poetry.

Wuyi Lane is a quiet and narrow alley, which was originally the residence of the famous Xiang Wang Dao and Xie An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In order to commemorate Wang Dao and Xie An, people rebuilt Wang Xie's former residence as a memorial. The main buildings of the memorial hall are Laiyan Hall and Jian Jin Lou, the building is simple and elegant, and the people of Shizi are constantly touristing, which has become a place to admire the famous faces of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and express the ancient feelings.

Suzaku Bridge

It is a pontoon bridge built on the Inner Qinhuai River during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The reason why Suzaku Bridge is well-known is derived from Jinling's ancient poem "Wuyi Lane". During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao and Xie Ando lived here. Due to its age, the Suzaku Bridge no longer exists.

Wang Dao

Wang Dao, a famous politician and calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was one of the founders of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang was born in the Wei and Jin dynasties of the famous "Langya Wang Clan", and in his early years he was friendly with Sima Rui (Emperor Yuan of Jin), the king of Langya, and devoted himself to assisting Emperor Yuan of Jin, and was deeply respected by him. After the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao and his brother Wang Dun formed a pattern of "king and horse, sharing the world".

Later, Wang Dun plotted a rebellion and invaded Jiankang, wanting to usurp power and seize the throne, but Wang Dao did not approve and had to return to Wuchang. Soon, Wang Dao was assisted by Emperor Yuan of Jin to assist Emperor Ming of Jin. After the death of Emperor Ming of Jin, Wang Dao, Yu Liang and other ministers jointly assisted the young lord Emperor Jincheng. Wang Dao thus became the elder of the Three Dynasties. After Wang Dao's death, Emperor Cheng of Jin mourned in the imperial court and sent envoys to posthumously honor "literature". The funeral specifications are the same as Huo Guang and Sima Fu, and they are the most famous courtiers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Xie An

Xie An was a famous politician in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was a book of good deeds, a musician, a gentle disposition, and a fair and clear attitude. Wang Jian called him "Jiang Zuo Fengliu Zai Xiang". Zhang Shunhui praised him as "a great politician with grace and courage in Chinese history." He was famous for two major events: one was that he cleverly prevented Huan Wen's usurpation and avoided the outbreak of civil war; second, he commanded the famous Battle of Shuishui, defeating the so-called million-strong Former Qin army with 80,000 troops, and winning a quiet peace for the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Huan Wen held great military and political power during the reign of Emperor Wen of Jin, and coveted the throne many times, but xie an and Wang Tanzhi skillfully and cleverly mediated from it. After the death of Emperor Wen of Jin, Xie An and other ministers took advantage of Huan Wen's absence in Jiankang to install Sima Yao as emperor. Huan Wen held a grudge against this and led a large group of men and horses back to Jiankang. Xie An and Wang Tanzhi went to the new pavilion to greet them. And see Huan Wen, Wang Tanzhi sweated profusely, and Xie An was not in a hurry and calmly sat down. Xie An said solemnly to Huan Wen, "I heard that the duty of the princes is to guard the four directions, why do you suppress the territory with heavy troops and sword fighting?" Huan Wen opened his mouth and was speechless.

The next day, Huan Wen again invited Xie An and Wang Tanzhi to enter the account to discuss the list of ministers who had killed the dprk, and the wind swept the tent, revealing Huan Wen's adviser Xi Chao, who was hiding behind the tent and eavesdropping, Xie An smiled slightly when he saw this: "Xi Sheng is really a guest of honor." Xi Chao was ashamed of a sentence and had no place to look at himself. Xie An represented a group of clans that supported the Jin Dynasty, and Huan Wen knew that he could not morally overwhelm Xie An, and force could not make him submit, so he had to force his anger and shake hands and make peace, and the Jin Room was maintained by Xie An's resourceful and courageous mediation.

In the eighth year of Taiyuan (383), the Former Qin ruler Jian Jian led his troops south and directly took the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When Jian Jian's army entered Huaifei, the Beijing division was terrified, and Xie An was ordered to be in danger and take on the heavy responsibility of resisting the invasion. The Jin army and Jian Jian met at Shuishui, and the Jin army used Xie An's strategy of luring the enemy to move, taking advantage of the unstable heel of the strong enemy and defeating the Jian army in one fell swoop. The collapsed Qin soldiers scrambled to escape, and Jian Jian himself almost made a ghost under the knife.
