The warlords' poetic complex: Shi Siming beheaded the "minister" for the poem, and Hong Tianwang used poetry to manage the harem! The same as the chaotic emperor: Liu Banghong Heavenly King Xiang Yu Shi Siming, the difference in poetry is not generally large!
There is a tradition in China, only the status of the identity is there, casually chant a few words, you can be a thousand years. For example, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, although he was a truant school scumbag when he was young, when he returned to his hometown and province after becoming famous, he also wrote a famous "Song of the Great Wind":
The winds are blowing and the clouds are flying,
Wei Jia Hai Nei returned to his hometown,
Anderson is on all sides!
After Liu Bang defeated the British Army, when he returned to Chang'an, when passing through his hometown of Pei County, he invited his father and fellow villagers to drink. Drunk, Liu Bang struck a percussion instrument and sang this "Song of the Great Wind". Although there are only three sentences in "Song of the Great Wind", each sentence represents a different scene and mood: the first sentence of "the wind rises and the clouds fly" is the most amazing verse in ancient and modern times. The author does not directly describe how he and his men annihilated the rebellious enemy army on the magnificent battlefield, but very cleverly and skillfully used the wind and the dark clouds that flew wildly to allude to the thrilling picture of the war. The second sentence expresses the joy of returning home, and the third sentence turns sharply, expressing worries and thoughts about karma. "The Song of the Great Wind" expresses his lofty political ambitions and his mixed feelings about state affairs.
Liu Bang's old rival Xiang Yu, who was also a warrior, rarely read poetry in his lifetime, but there are also poems that have been passed down to later generations, such as his "Song of Xiaxia":
Li Ba Shan is full of arrogance.
The times are not good enough to pass.
Don't die!
Yu Xi Yu Xi Nai Nai!
"Song of Xiaxia" is a poem sung before the defeat of Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu. The poem summarizes Xiang Yu's achievements and pride in life, expresses his pity for the beauties and famous colts, and expresses his feelings of resentment and helplessness in the midst of the heavy siege of the Han army. Through the combination of virtual and real, the whole poem vividly shows the author's arrogance, although the length is short, it shows rich content and complex feelings: it is full of unparalleled pride and full of affection; it shows rare self-confidence, but also sighs heavily for people's smallness.
If Liu Bang's "Song of the Great Wind" reproduces the deep thinking of the victors, then the "Song of the Fall" expresses the sorrow of the losers, and both poems have the spirit of an emperor.
Wufu's poems, which can reach the level of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, are indeed rare, and most of them are responsible for coming out funny. For example, Shi Siming, the second-ranked figure in the "Anshi Rebellion" of the Tang Dynasty, was originally illiterate, although illiterate, he was also attached to elegance, liked to chant poetry, and was even more happy after becoming the emperor of the earth.
Shi Siming, a Turkic from Ningyi Prefecture, lived in Liucheng, Yingzhou, and his appearance was not proud, and he was in the same township as An Lushan. In the early years of Tianbao, he served as a general and knew the Pinglu military. He consulted the Khitan from An Lu Mountain and served as an envoy of Pinglu Soldiers and Horses. An Lushan rebelled, he slightly fixed Hebei, was appointed by An Lushan as fanyang jiedushi envoy, occupying thirteen counties, with 80,000 soldiers. He and An Qingxu killed Lushan and established himself as emperor, he was defeated by Tang Shi, retired to Yicheng, surrendered to Tang, and was enfeoffed as the King of Yi, Fanyang Changshi, and Hebei Jiedushi. Emperor Suzong feared that he would rebel again, and if he plotted to murder him, he would rebel again. In the second year of Qianyuan (759), He ba Wei Prefecture (present-day Daimyō, Hebei), was called the King of Dasheng Zhou, and his era name was Ying Tian. Later, the army broke the siege of Anqingxu Yecheng (安阳, in modern Anyang, Henan), killed Qingxu, returned Fanyang, called himself emperor, and changed the name of the country to Great Yan, jianyuan Shuntian.
Shi Siming has a bad problem, every time he writes a poem, he wants everyone to know. Perhaps he wants to emulate Bai Juyi, because Bai Juyi's poems are widely circulated. "Three or four thousand miles from Chang'an to Jiangxi, there are often servant poets in all township schools, Buddhist temples, rebellious brigades, and boats; there are always servant poets, monks, widows, and virgins."
"But for twenty years, there were no books on the walls of forbidden provinces, temples, and postal services; there were no princes, concubines, cow boys, and horses; and as for those who wrote molds, sold them in the well market, or held them for wine and tea, they were everywhere." Even Bai's poems spread to Khitan, Hui, Japan and other places, and they were also very popular: "The boy dissolves the long hate song, and Hu'er can sing the pipa." ”
The reason why Bai Juyi's poems are so popular is that each of his poems strives to be easy to understand. Write it out, read it to the illiterate old mother, understand it, and then take it out. Whether it is poetry or calligraphy, it must be understood by others before there will be a market.
Although Shi Siming's poems are popular, Shi Siming is really not the material for writing poetry, and his poems have no beauty and poetic rhyme to speak of, and his works are often "all extinct". Shi Siming's "poems" are all "felt and sent", and they are all written about things that can be seen and touched. For example, his Pomegranate Poem:
In the safflower in March and April, in the bottle in May and June.
Made a knife to cut through the yellow clothes, six or seven thousand red men and women.
Shi Siming's poems are absolutely impossible to achieve the effect of being sung in the world like white poems. Although the charm of poetry itself is not good, Shi Siming has his own advantages, he, a pseudo-emperor, can use the resources in his hands to "push hard" to the "world" - "every chapter, it will be declared", and use power to forcibly spread; specifically, it is necessary to "write the county and the country, put it in the post booth", so that the people know that this effect should be similar to today's Internet access.
Shi Siming's most famous poem, the "Cherry Poem" that he chanted when he pushed him to give cherries to his son Chaoyi and the general Zhou Zhen:
A cage of cherries, half red and half yellow.
Half with King Huai, half with Zhou Yan.
After Shi Siming's poem was written, everyone else echoed the praise, but a small official named Long Tan was very uninteresting, and came up with the idea to let him drop the last two sentences, saying that this would be "sound and rhyme". Shi Siming was quite confused: "What is rhyme?" My son, the King of Huai, can live under Zhou Zhen [below!] "Even if you write a crooked poem that doesn't make sense, you don't forget your own status and rank." The foreign minister "but such ignorance of current affairs is simply looking for death!"
The "King of Huai" in the poem is Shi Siming's son Shi Chaoyi, and the old Shi shi called himself the Emperor of Great Yan and married his son feng. Zhou Yan was a general under Shi Siming. At that time, Shi Chaoyi and Zhou Zhen were both in Hebei, and they tasted fresh food themselves, and they did not forget to reward them.
(Shi Siming) could not read words, but suddenly he was good at chanting poetry, and every chapter would be declared, and he could be exterminated. He wanted to give his sons Chaoyi and Zhou Zhen with cherries, and wrote a letter of color, saying: "A cage of cherries, half red and half yellow." Half with King Huai, half with Zhou Yan. The little official Long Tan Jinyue said: "Please change half to Zhou Zhen, and half to King Huai, then the sound rhymes." Si Ming said, "What is rhyme?" How can my son be under Zhou Zhen! (Yao Runeng, "The Deeds of An Lushan")
Although Shi Siming thought of his son when he had the benefits, his son regarded him as a stumbling block on the way forward, and in the spring of the second year of the first century (761), Shi Siming was murdered by his son Shi Chaoyi and his generals. Before dying, Shi Siming really regretted not having done it.
Siming drove to Yongning and was killed by Zi Chaoyi. Si Ming said, "Er killed me too soon." Lushan still has to reach the eastern capital, and Erhe Urgent [jí] also? "Chaoyi, that is, the one who pretends to be a king." (Tang Ding used obscure "Shibata Record")
Shi Siming drove straight into Yongning and was killed by his son Shi Chaoyi. Shi Siming said, "You killed me too early. An Lushan has just arrived in Dongdu, and why are you in such a hurry? "Shi Chaoyi, that is, the one who pretended to be the king."
In the time of Hong Tianwang, this fallen brother Xiucai also loved to write poetry, but although Hong Xiucai had written poetry, his poems were also written like Shi Siming's bullshit. The difference between the two is that Shi Siming wrote poetry for the sake of display, while Hong Xiucai wrote poetry to "enslave" the people around him.
For example, after the capital Tianjing, Hong Xiucai created a large group of "Heavenly Father Poems", which are now excerpted for everyone to enjoy:
One:
Wash and wear a robe and haircut, unclog and tie well to relieve the main trouble.
The dignity of the Lord is high and noble, and he will always sit in the country!
Second:
The bell and gong ring in the morning robe, and the bell gong is opened to the sun.
At this time, the apse was called out in unison, and the front door opened to receive the light!
Third:
Look at the main single accurate to see the shoulder, the best reason to look at the chest.
A bold look at the eyes, snubbing the king of snubs the sky!
From these poems, can you read what kind of "imperial phase" you can read? There is no worry about Liu Bang, no sorrow for Xiang Yu, and no ambition for the world.
More of Hong Xiucai's poems were used to manage the harem women. For example, the seventeenth and eighteenth verses of the Heavenly Father's Poem stipulate how a woman should obey his orders, otherwise she will be punished. For example, his "Ten Should Fight":
If you are not religious in your service, you should fight;
Hard neck does not listen to teaching, two should be beaten;
Look up at the husband, three should fight;
Ask the king if he is not religious, and the four should be beaten;
The mania is not pure, and five should be beaten.
Speak loudly, six should be played;
There is a beak that should not be sounded, and seven should be beaten;
Face is not happy, eight should be beaten;
Look left and right, nine should fight;
The speech is not leisurely, and it should be beaten.
Look, how easy this poem is to write, compared with Hong Xiucai's wife, how happy the female compatriots are now! Not only did he restrain his wife in the name of poetry, But Hong Xiucai also lowered his will in a serious way, and his writing was also popular and difficult to understand. The second is now taken for the benefit of the reader.
First, "The Father's Divine Will at the Foot of the Stone":
Heavenly Father, The Lord Emperor God knows: The little daughters-in-law (Hong Xiuquan's concubines), he said that Er'er is like this, and er is like that, not to make sex, not to rebel against him, against him is against my Heavenly Father, against Heavenly Brother also.
Second, "Brother Jesus at the Foot of the Stone":
Brother Tian: Aunt Yan Duo (Hong Xiuquan's concubine) has a little dislike for snubbing my brother (referring to Hong Xiuquan), and Xuefei in the clouds (beheading).
As an illiterate who does not know what rhyme is, Shi Siming is busy pasting poems everywhere, and his purpose is nothing more than to dress up as a Confucian and a poet, just like today's nouveau riche who have no ink on their chests are busy building book houses to install facades, hiring gunmen to take money to give books to vassals and elegant, although ridiculous, but also "cute", such as the modern warlord Zhang Zongchang's oil poems, at least can be amusing. Hong Xiucai,on the other hand, "plays" poetry, but has a very clear practical purpose, and it is really terrible to tie the writing of poetry and bind them tightly.
