Question: What is "Jiang Lang cai exhausted" and who is "Jiang Lang"? Is there really anyone in history?
preface
Jiang Yan (444–505), ziwen tong. Indeed, there are people who have gone through three generations of the Southern Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Qi liang. Jiang Yan handed down more than one hundred and forty poems, but the greater influence on posterity is his articles such as "Hate Endowment" and "Bei Fu", friends who do not like literature very much, and most of them have heard of "the soul destroyer, only the other" in "Bei Fu".
Jiang Langcai's story is recorded in the "Poetry" and "Nanshi Jiang Flood Biography". However, the river flood may not be exhausted, and it is more likely to avoid disasters. Jiang Langcai should have been a lie written by Jiang Yan for himself. Why?
First, Jiang Lang in "Poetry" is exhausted
Zhong Rong's "Poetry" records:
''At the beginning, Xuancheng County was flooded, and SuYeting was located. Dream of a beautiful husband, calling himself Guo Pu. He said, "I have been writing in the Secretary's Office for many years, and I can see it." 'In the arms of the submerged, he was given five-colored pens. Then it is a poem, no longer an idiom, so the river floods the river before it is exhausted. ''
The Southern Dynasty Zhong Rong (c. 468 – c. 518) and Jiang Yan were almost contemporaries. He said that Jiang Yan dreamed of his predecessor Guo Pu and asked for his five-color pen back, and since then Jiang Yan has not been able to write good poetry.
This story says that Jiang Yan's literary talent comes from the teachings of predecessors, in fact, it is not out of thin air. Because one of the biggest characteristics of Jiang Yan is to be good at imitating antiquity, Yan Yu's "Canglang Poetry" specifically mentions:
Pseudo-ancient only Jiang Wentong is the longest, pseudo-Yuanming is like Yuanming, quasi-Recreation is like Kangle, pseudo-Zuo Si is like Zuo Si, pseudo-Guo Pu is like Guo Pu, and li Duwei is not like the Western Han Dynasty.
Yuanming is Tao Yuanming, Kang Le is Xie Lingyun, and Zuo Si is the character who wrote "Three Capitals" to create "Luoyang Paper Gui". Guo Pu is not an ordinary person, he is the representative of You Xian poetry, you Xian poems open landscape poetry abuse, Guo Pu is a character who inherits the past and the future.
In addition, Guo Pu is good at seeing feng shui, quite legendary, and is also the grandfather of feng shui.
It is said that his cemetery was built in Baihuazhou under the Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, and Laojie had been there once in the past few years, but unfortunately no trace was seen.
Second, Jiang Lang in "Nanshi Jiang Flood Biography" is exhausted
The Nanshi Jiang Yan Biography tells two stories:
Drowning less to the article, late festival before thinking of a slight retreat, Yun for Xuancheng too punctual to return, the first Berth Zen Ling Temple, night dream a person called himself Zhang Jingyang, said: "Before with a horse of gold sent, now you can see it." A few feet into the arms of the drowning probe, the man exclaimed, "Then it must be cut and cut." Gu Jianqiu said, "The rest of the few feet are useless, and they will be left behind." Self-drowning articles are not enough.
After staying at Ye Ting again, Mengyi's husband called himself Guo Pu and said, "I have a pen in Qing's office for many years, and I can see it back." Drown is given a five-colored pen in the arms of the detective. Later, there was no beautiful sentence for the poem, and it was said that it was exhausted.
The History of the South was compiled by Master Li (570-628) and his son Li Yanshou during the Sui and Tang dynasties. It was almost a century later than Zhong Rong.
At that time, there were not many books passed down, and it is estimated that the story of Jiang Lang's talent was widely circulated, and it may not be seen from Zhong Rong's "Poetry".
Zhang Jingyang mentioned in the Nanshi Jiang Yan Biography was a Western Jin Dynasty literary scholar named Zhang Xie, who was called "Three Zhangs" with his brother Zhang Zai and his younger brother Zhang Kang. Zhong Rong mentioned "Three Zhangs" with "Erlu" (Lu Ji, Lu Yun), "Two Pans" (Pan Yue, Pan Ni), and "One Left" (Zuo Si) in the preface to the "Poems", and was a famous scholar at that time.
Zhang Jingyang asked Jiang Yan for "a horse of gold", and Guo Pu asked Jiang Yan for a "five-color pen", in short, jiang flood's talent was gone.
Therefore, Jiang Yan "had no beautiful sentences for poetry", and could not write good sentences, and people at that time called it exhaustion.
Third, why did Jiang Lang finish? Who is Xiao Yan?
Jiang Langcai is an idiom story with a bit of a mysterious color. To today's atheists, of course, it is nonsense. But Jiang Yan could not write a masterpiece later, why is this?
According to ancient records, Jiang Yan had that dream when "Xuancheng was too punctual to return". After dreaming, I deliberately told Qiu Chi that I secretly left "a few feet is useless", I will give it to you.
Qiu Chi was a close confidant of Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan's exhortations to establish Southern Liang for the emperor were all written by Qiu Chi. This statement is more like a statement to Xiao Yan, the Emperor of Liangwu.
Jiang Yan (444-505) lived through three eras: Song (420-479), Qi (479-502), and Liang (502-557 AD). In just a few short decades, he saw countless bloody rains.
Emperor Xiao Dao of Qi killed Emperor Liu Song to establish the Qi Dynasty, and Emperor Xiao Luan of Qi killed his nephew to succeed to the throne, and in order to keep the throne, he cut off the descendants of his brother Emperor Wu of Qi during his reign. He could have reigned for only 5 years.
Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu successively killed Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Qi, Qi, and Emperor Xiao Baorong, and established the Liang Dynasty. In the midst of the incessant killing, the princes will fall one by one.
The elderly Jiang Yan estimated that he had seen through all this and had long dared not come forward. But what does it have to do with his literary talent?
Before the Liang Dynasty, during the Qi Yongming period, there were the famous Eight Friends of Jingling "Xiao Yan, Shen Yue, Xie Shuo, Wang Rong, Xiao Chen, Fan Yun, Ren Fang, and Lu Qian". All eight were first-rate writers and poets of their time.
Among them, Xiao Yan usurped the world of Qi, and he was the later Emperor Wu of Liang. After Xiao Yan succeeded to the throne, the original poets naturally avoided three points.
Shen Yue, one of the Eight Friends of Jinling, was also one of Xiao Yan's confidants, and once competed with Emperor Wu of Liang, and the two competed about the number of allusions to "chestnuts". The two of them wrote down separately, and as a result, Shen Yu did three things less than Xiao Yan. After leaving the palace, Shen Yue said that he had deliberately lost, fearing that the emperor could not afford to lose, and as a result, Emperor Wu of Liang was furious when he heard about it, and later Shen Yue died of fear. At the time of Shen Yue, Emperor Wu of Liang refused to give him the nickname of "Wen" and changed his title to "Yin".
Conclusion
The great poet Xue Daoheng of the Sui Dynasty had a "dark hanging cobwebs, empty beams falling on the mud", according to legend, which caused the Sui Emperor to be jealous and forced to commit suicide.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Yang Xiu also caused Cao Cao's displeasure due to excessive display of talent, and finally lost his life.
Of course, Jiang Yan did not lose any colorful pen to write poetry, it should be that after he was older, he understood the sophistication of human feelings. The emperor himself is a great poet, so why should he be in the limelight?
Jiang Langcai should have been a lie written by Jiang Yan for himself.
