Chen Shubao: The flowers in the backyard of the Yushu tree do not bloom for long
In the sequence of the kings of the fallen kingdoms of the past dynasties, if it is said in terms of literary talent, this Chen Shubao can probably squeeze into the top three, and there must be Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Yang Guang, the Emperor of sui, in front of him, of course, this is my opinion, maybe replaced by the Song Huizong or the Liang Yuan Emperor Xiao Xuan, it can also be justified.
All along, the impression of Chen Shubao has been somewhat vague, the king of the fallen country is iron and iron, and the other fears are only his poem "Flowers in the Backyard of the Jade Tree", and there is the story of him hiding in a dry well, together with two pet concubines, being hung up and abducted.
In addition, his sister Lady Xuanhua, who first loved to spoil the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, and later became the protagonist of the "Renshou Palace Change", which was occupied by the Sui Emperor, a large beach of dog blood.
Smoke cage cold water moon cage sand, night berth QinHuai near the restaurant;
The merchant girl did not know the hatred of the country, and sang the backyard flowers across the river.
Du Mu's "Bo Qinhuai" is known to the world, saying that it is Lord Chen Hou, who hates his great enemy who is still singing and dancing at the moment, and hu'er is drunk and dreaming of death; however, from the literal point of view of the poem, it is even inappropriate for this Du Dacaizi to point the spearhead at the "businesswoman", is it necessary for them to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy on horseback, so that they can not achieve the right way, it is completely unreasonable, the protagonist is those who watch the dance, right, right?
Chen Shubao and Li Yu were both called Hou Lords, one for Chen and one for the Southern Tang, and many people often confused the two; what was even funnier was that some people asked why Chen Shubao was still regarded as a door god, and he was mixed with Qin Shubao.
However, Chen Shubao and Li Yu have something in common, they are both kings of the fallen country, and they are both literati who are intoxicated with poetry, and the fall of the country by the two seems to have nothing to do with the misguided country and the red face and the disaster of the water, it is completely the inaction of the two, although in the end when the enemy army pressed the border, they both resisted, but in the end they all raised the white flag and surrendered.
"The flowers do not bloom and fall for a long time, and the red flowers fall to the silence", in people's impressions, this Chen Shubao's surrender is much more sloppy, there is a saying that many people know called "Han hu outside the door, Zhang Lihua at the head of the building", which is said to be the lord of Chen Hou.
After the Sui army rushed into the palace, he hid in the dry well with two concubines, and finally he was forced by someone to use a rope to pull the three people who were tightly hugging them up from the well, and his dignity was shattered.
By the time of Chen Shubao, the land of Huaxia had been divided for nearly three hundred years, which was the darkest time in Chinese history, that is, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, after a fierce struggle between the north, the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian succeeded the Northern Zhou to unify the north.
Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the song, Qi, Liang, and Chen in the south were only taken over by Chen Shubao, the last emperor of the Chen Dynasty, and after the "Hou Jing Rebellion" in the south, the national strength was greatly damaged, and the strength could no longer compete with the Sui Dynasty in the north, and it was only a matter of time before the country was destroyed.
Chen Shubao himself was well aware of this, but although the national strength was weak, in time, if he tried to be strong, he might not always lose, but since the Sui Dynasty unified the north, he was afraid that he would not be able to live forever, always feeling that tomorrow the Sui Dynasty would sweep through Jiangnan, and he was already ready to tie his hands at any time.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, it was not only necessary to rectify the internal, coordinate the relations between various strata, solve various internal problems, and calm the attacks of the resistance forces on all sides, but also to deal with the Turks who harassed the border at that time, and there was no time to move south for a while.
During this period of time, Chen Shubao completely adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards state affairs, he was drunk and dreaming of death all day, accompanied by beautiful wine and beauty, poetry and songs were given to him, and he regarded every day as the last day, which was happy on the surface, but the pain in his heart was extreme.
Li Yu Fang Lin to the High Pavilion, the new decoration of the beautiful ben allure;
Ying hu did not enter at first, and greeted each other with a smile;
The face of the demon is like a flower with dew, and the jade tree shines in the backyard;
The flowers do not bloom and fall for a long time, and the fallen red is full of silence.
This is the poem he wrote, known as the sound of the subjugation of the country, "Yushu Backyard Flower", is a typical "palace poem", the rhetoric is extremely gorgeous, not only the description of the scenery is extremely expressive, but also the beauty of the woman, but also amazing, the sky is the night of the moon, surrounded by qiongshu chaoxin, several are fine wine amber light, in front of the country is the cityscape, revel in this fairy-like day, the flood after it dies.
In the few years after he became a concubine, he either mixed with concubines or feasted with wenchen, and beautiful women and wine were his indispensable source of life; therefore, Yang Jian, the Sui Emperor who destroyed him, said: "Is this defeat not because of wine? Will compose poetry Kung Fu, how to si an current affairs?
Spring bricks fall fangmei, floating zero on the phoenix platform;
Whisk makeup suspicious powder, slip away like Ping Kai;
The sun flowers move lightly, and the fragrance of the wind comes;
The lady inserts her bun early, tries to stand and wanders.
Chen Shubao is a master of making beautiful words, this "Plum Blossom Fall" is one of its representative works, this poem is not inferior to any of the "palace poems" in the early Tang Dynasty, this poem is written very arbitrarily, in one go, the battle is whole, the mood is round, the emotions are dense, the plum blossoms are intertwined, "color, fragrance, and beauty" are complete, in the depiction of women, its shrewd craftsmanship, people are breathtaking.
And he is also an amorous species, although there are special pets from time to time, but his favorite pet concubines are many, what Kong Guifei Wang Beauty is also a bunch, amorous and unsentimental, this point and Li Hou Lord also have a fight.
The eldest woman went up to a tall building. Lotus Boat;
The little woman is alone. Draw the tent to hide your shyness.
Of course, in the later period, Zhang Lihua, whose "face is like a sunrise, skin like snow, eyes like autumn water, and eyebrows are better than distant mountains", is his favorite, so that to the point of "procrastination for the drink of the long night, spoiling the sins of the same wife", even the major state affairs have "put Zhang Guifei on the lap to make a decision." ”
Zhang Lihua was originally Gong Guifei's maid, born beautiful, Chen Shubao met the Heavenly Immortals at first sight, helplessly too young to bear the rain and dew, so he was anxious to think about the monkeys day and night every day, and it was not easy to get on the hand to be pampered, and the above Song of Gule Fu "Three Women Yan" was one of the more than ten poems he wrote.
Zhang Lihua not only crowned the harem, but also very talented, intelligent and intelligent, full of vigor, her hair was seven feet long, thick as lacquer, bright and shining; plus her actions were elegant and luxurious, and her appearance was dignified and beautiful. Whenever I looked at it, the brilliance overflowed in my eyes, but unfortunately, when the Sui army invaded the palace, it was killed by the Sui Emperor, and a generation of absolute beauty, the incense disappeared.
Judging from the above-mentioned deeds of Chen Shubao, it may not be too appropriate to say that he is a late monarch, and perhaps it is more appropriate for Yongjun, he has cherished the people's strength during his 7 years on the throne, and he is not bad for the people, and there is no wanton conquest and tyranny.
He had to grant amnesty to the world every year, and he also attached importance to agricultural production and economic development, although because he always had a sword of Damocles hanging above his head, many of the decrees he issued were sloppy and ended in vain, but it is conceivable that if it was in an era of chengping, he was afraid that he would be counted as a shoucheng emperor.
However, his ending was not bad, after he was taken captive to Luoyang, the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian treated him very well, not only made him a sanpin idle post, but also often invited him to attend banquets, but also feared that he was sad, stipulating that as long as he was present, he was not allowed to play Jiangnan music.
Just like ah dou's "happy not thinking about Shu" in those years, this Chen Shubao, at least on the surface, never paid attention to the pain of subjugation, I don't know whether the wisdom learned from Ah Dou, or whether he himself is a person who has passed, still talks about wine every day, and "drinks a stone" every day, so that Yang Jian sighed: "Shu Bao has no heart and liver at all." ”
Sauvignon Blanc. Resentment turns into sorrow. Butterfly grass. Trees are silky. Garden flowers flutter and fly into the drapery.
See only a shadow in the drapery. Raise your eyebrows in the mirror. Both see the same moon. Two times in the spring.
He stayed in Luoyang for 16 years and died of illness at the age of 52, which is the best ending among the kings of the fallen country, if, like Li Yu in the later life, he wrote poems such as "Ask the king how sad he can be, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward", I am afraid that he will not live so long.
However, how do I think that there seems to be a credit for his sister Lady Xuanhua in this, because when Emperor Wen of Sui was under the weight of the LoneLy Empress and the harem was useless, I don't know what the reason was, only the Chen family was open to the net, so that he could get Yang Jian's favor, and the hungry and thirsty Yang Jian, when facing this "sexual intelligence and unparalleled appearance", should also be reasonable to show favor to his brother-in-law, right.
What is somewhat strange is that after Chen Shubao's death, when the Sui Emperor succeeded to the throne, on the one hand, he posthumously gave Chen Shubao the title of great general, and on the other hand, he gave him a bad name, that is, "Jiao", and After Yang Guang's own death, he was also called "Jiao".
Is this providence, or is it a human prank? It is in response to the sentence "The heavens are good for reincarnation, and the heavens have spared no one." "I just don't know how this Sui Dynasty Emperor Jiuquan feels if he knows what he thinks."
Perhaps, from Yang Guang's point of view, the title of pursuing a great general is for the people of the world to see, and it is also an explanation for his father's kindness to Lord Chen Hou and Lady Xuanhua, after all, the beautiful lady who wants to share the bed with him cannot afford to be offended; and to give Chen Shubao this "evil rumor" is that he thinks that Chen Shubao is only worthy of this title.
Whether there is a factor of lightness among the literati in this I don't know, because the Sui Emperor is also a person with extremely high literary talent, and the poem he wrote, "Spring River Flower Moon", is also the leader in the "Palace Poetry", in the face of this person he fully despises, but he is also famous in the poetry world, making some mischief, it is also in line with the state of mind of the Sui Emperor.
If this Chen Shubao is useless in terms of political achievements, then his contribution to poetry is recognized by the academic community, especially in the achievements of poetry in the field of grammar, which has been affected by the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and the later Poetry of Grace is fixed in the hands of Shen Qi and Song Zhiwen.
Wushan Wuxia is deep, and the cliffs tower over the spring forest;
Wind rock towards rui, foggy ridge evening ape groan;
The cloud comes to the foot to recommend the pillow, and the rain passes over the non-sense piano;
Xian Ji will be the night moon, and the shadow will float by itself.
This is also a ancient music house, named "Wushan Gao", since Qu Yuan and Song Yu, Wushan has long been alienated into a synonym for goddesses, and the clouds have come and gone, and it has also become an "indescribable" special word.
However, Chen Shubao's poem is written in a somber way, without a sense of lasciviousness, let alone joy, but the image of a woman who cannot sleep day and night is vividly displayed in front of the reader, and it is quite like Yi An's "mist thick clouds and sorrow for eternal day" situation.
To say that Chen Hou lord can only write such glamorous words, but also some wronged him, he was taken as a hostage in the Western Wei when he was young, ten years old Fang returned to the man, and then has been grown up in the deep palace, almost nothing in the outside world, so his poetry theme has great limitations, of course, he also tried to write some "strong words", such as the following song "Drinking Horse Great Wall Cave Line".
Marching horses into other places, mountain flowers this luminous light;
The outliers hissed into the shadows, and the wind repeatedly moved the incense;
The moonlight contains the darkness of the city, and the autumn sound is long;
Why reward the Son of Heaven, Ma Ge reported to the battlefield.
This is the ancient theme of Han Le Fu, and in the early days, it was generally described with the feeling of thinking of women and cherishing people, which was certainly not what Chen Shubao was good at, but his description in the poem did not have the common sadness of "lovers complaining about the night", and these last two sentences were also a bit heroic, which was extremely rare in his poetry.
It is not easy for Chen Shubao to write such a poem, although there is a feeling of itching in the boots, not degreasing powder, but it is also a good poem, if you want to expect him to write "rather a centurion, better than a book student" of the majesty, I am afraid that it is a little too difficult for him.
Looking at Chen Shubao's life, this crime of having no great ambitions and abandoning the government and ruining the country cannot be escaped, but, as Wei Zheng said, as a person who was "born in the deep palace, the hand of the eldest woman", the bad card he took over was just at the time when the Sui Dynasty had just established the country, and if he wanted to escape the fate of destruction, he did not want to think about it.
Among the poems about Chen Shubao in later generations, my favorite is a poem "Sui Palace" written by Li Shangyin, because he has no sense of condemnation and disdain in the poem, he thought of Chen Shubao from the Sui Emperor, and wrote a humorous feeling of regret with gentle strokes, and the implications are nothing more than the past, each other, no one should laugh at anyone!
The Purple Spring Palace locks the smoke and wants to take Wucheng as the emperor's family;
Wang Xi did not return to the corner of the sun, and Jin Fan should go to the end of the world;
In the present, there are no fireflies in the rotten grass, and there are twilight crows in the ancient weeping yang;
If the underground is the Lord of Chen Hou, it is advisable to ask the backyard flowers again.
We can now accuse Chen Shubao of his inaction, and when the building is about to fall, he will enjoy the drunken moon all day long, the near-adulterous Yu Xiaoxiao, the le jiali embracing, and the bookman's words and words, which is enough to put him into the list of shamelessness, from this point of view, he is a typical figure of the king of the subjugated country, and he is used as a negative teaching material by posterity, but he is not wronged.
But although he is absurd, he is not without a way, mediocre and without tyranny, he does not know that the harvest is difficult but can reduce the burden of the people, he likes to write chapters and is famous for a hundred years of literary circles, I look at him just like the feeling of watching "The Flower in the Backyard of the Yushu Tree", hate is not hated, full of heart, is a sense of sympathy and helplessness.
Now people, the feelings of Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, are the same, all their emotions are sympathy and understanding, and they have long forgotten that he is the same as this Chen Shubao, half a pound to eight two, and the treatment of these two people in the future life is very different, from this point of view, I am not happy for this Chen Hou Lord!
