The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that literature is like its own person, but in some cases, the talent of a person with relatively high literary attainment may not be very good. Zhao Gao, a eunuch of the Qin Dynasty, had extraordinary calligraphy skills, and even climbed the list of calligraphers in the Qin and Han dynasties, but he forged edicts, forced the emperor's eldest son Fu Su to die, supported Hu Hai, who did not learn any skills, as emperor, and later killed the chancellor Li Si, and forced Qin II Hu Hai to commit suicide, which can be called the culprit of the demise of the Qin Dynasty, and Zhao Gao's character is outrageous.
The culture of the Tang Dynasty flourished, and poets sprung up like mushrooms, from the early Tang Dynasty to the Sheng Tang Dynasty, until the late Tang Dynasty, which was thin and thin, many poets left their names in history. Among these poets, most of them have good character, at least to say, although Yuan Shu abandoned his first love girlfriend and was labeled as a scumbag, but it is only a flaw in emotional life, and other aspects are not bad. If it is said that who is the best scumbag of the Tang Dynasty, it is not Song Zhi who asks, why do you think so?
The pursuit of fame and fortune is beyond reproach, but it is not possible to lose principles and self-esteem, Song Zhiqing for his own career, the behavior tends to be inflammatory, the attitude is flattering, and the face is not worth mentioning to him. In the second year of the first century, the twenty-year-old Song Zhijinshi and the first, Empress Wu Zetian saw that his talent was acceptable, and gradually reused it. Song Zhiqing had the illusion that the emperor had thoughts about him, and his heart was ecstatic.
Objectively speaking, Song Zhiqing was good-looking, tall and dignified, but he misunderstood the emperor's meaning. Song Zhiqian tried to take a shortcut, that is, to get the special grace of Wu Zetian, like the two brothers Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, who would one day accompany the emperor to bed. Unfortunately, the hot face was pasted with a cold ass, and Wu Zetian couldn't look at him at all. It is said that Song Zhiwen had severe bad breath, so he failed to get special treatment from the empress.
Over time, colleagues were aware of Song Zhiqing's character and were unwilling to have too much intersection with him. Even so, Song Zhiqing didn't care at all, and painstakingly snuggled Zhang Yizhi, hoping that he would say a few kind words in front of the emperor. If it is only like this, Song Zhiqing is not worthy of being a high-quality scumbag, and the reason why he is spurned by the world is because of his "killing people because of poetry". The poet Liu Xiyi is the nephew of Song Zhiwen, and he took the two poems he had just written and asked his uncle to comment on them.
After Song Zhiqing read "The flowers are similar every year, and the years are different", I felt really fantastic, and I suddenly had the idea of taking possession of myself. Liu Xiyi definitely did not agree, other things can be given to his uncle, but his own original poems are not OK, Song Zhiqing actually let people kill Liu Xiyi. Such a despicable behavior, in addition to the scumbag Song Zhi's question, it is estimated that no second person can do it.
In the first year of the Shenlong Dynasty, Wu Zetian was forced to take the throne, his son Tang Zhongzong was restored, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong were beheaded and shown to the public, and the Qunchen naturally did not let Go of Song Zhi's question. Emperor Zhongzong of Tang also hated Song Zhiqing's character and directly demoted him to Taki Prefecture (泷州, in modern Luoding, Guangdong). During the Tang Dynasty, Taki prefecture belonged to the remote Lingnan region, and the ministers who were relegated here basically had no return, only slightly better than the capital crime.
Song Zhiqing was as timid as a rat, afraid of death, and even chose to flee and quietly return to Luoyang. When passing through the Han River near Xiangyang, he met a fellow villager, song Zhiqing had mixed feelings in his heart, and wrote "Crossing the Han River": "The Book of Lingwai is broken, and the spring is repeated through winter. The nostalgia is more timid, and I dare not ask the people who come. As a degraded person, Song Zhiqing is very sad, coupled with the remote wilderness of Lingnan, and he has lost contact with his relatives, almost living like a year, regretting that he should not have been in the first place.
Closer and closer to his hometown, he should have been very happy, but he was suddenly timid, and when he met his fellow villagers, he did not dare to ask him about the situation at home, why did he dare not ask? In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Song Zhiqing is guilty, once the identity is revealed, and there is in-depth communication with the fellow villagers, in case the compatriots report to the government, the fate of Song Zhiqing will be very tragic, and the family will also be involved. Therefore, I can only hide my thoughts of my relatives in my hometown and not tell anyone.
Later, Song Zhiqing climbed up to Wu Sansi and Princess Anle, and not only was he not held responsible for escaping, but he was also promoted. As the saying goes, good has good to repay evil and evil, and Song Zhiqing, who tends to be inflamed and possessed, was directly given death after Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne. However, his poem "Crossing the Han River" has become a masterpiece of eternity, especially "the near hometown is more timid, dare not ask people", almost everyone knows.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
