Looking at the classic "Three Hundred Songs of Song Ci", its opening work is neither the earliest Song Ci in chronological order, nor the works of Liu Yong and Su Shi, who are familiar to us, but this "Yanshan Pavilion"
"Feast Mountain Pavilion Northbound To See Apricot Blossoms"
Author: Zhao Tuo
Cut the ice silk, lightly fold several weights, and lightly add rouge evenly.
New kind of beautiful makeup, full of fragrance, shame to kill ruizhu palace girl.
Easy to wither, more much, merciless wind and rain.
distress. Ask the courtyard is desolate, several spring twilights.
With a lot of hatred, this pair of swallows, He zeng people spoke.
The sky is far away, thousands of rivers and mountains, know where the Forbidden City is.
How not to think about it, except in dreams, sometimes I have gone.
Unfounded. And dreams are never done.
This poem is called "Blood Book" by Mr. Wang Guowei, and in the brilliant literary starry sky of Song Ci, it can be selected as the first part of the most classic "Three Hundred Songs of Song Ci", which is closely related to the identity of the author of this song, Zhao Tuo is also the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong.
There are many theories about the timing of the poem's writing: some say it was written on his way north after being captured, some say it was written a few years after he arrived in the Northland, and some say it was a desperate work in his later years. But no matter when it is written, the "sadness and despair" in the words are deeply rooted in the marrow. "And dreams, new to do not do", even the most fragile dreams will not be done, that kind of sadness is like the life of this absolute spokesperson, the king of thin life.
Some people say that Song Huizong is the reincarnation of Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, with such a similar life trajectory, the same talent and eight buckets, and even more with the long-cherished wish of karma... Although this is only a superstitious statement, it shows that their lives have great commonalities.
The two men were both emperors of the wind and the emperor of the fallen country; both of them were talented emperors, with excellent poetry and painting, and they were also not good at governing government affairs; in the end, they both became the kings of the fallen countries under the fence, and died tragically in a foreign country. In terms of lyrics alone, the emperor Li Yu in the words is naturally much better than Zhao Yu, but when it comes to calligraphy and painting, Zhao Yu is stronger than Li Yu.
How did Emperor Huizong of Song spend his life of "being a word person is really extraordinary, and being a poor and short-lived king" is a lifetime
Zhao Yao was a shu out, and his age was not high, and he originally had no half-cent relationship with the throne. Immersed in poetry books since childhood, he has a gentle and elegant personality, and seems to have an outstanding temperament, and is quite loved by shenzong in literary talent.
At that time, the royal children liked to chase the sound and color of dogs and horses, but Zhao Yao was bent on pen and ink, Danqing and poetry, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was "famous and holy in the world", at that time, he was intoxicated with poetry, books, songs and paintings, and only wanted to be a pure literati and enjoy the convenience brought by the rich prince.
His elder brother Song Zhezong died young and childless at the age of 23, and had to choose from among his brothers to inherit the throne. Even at this time, he was not the best candidate, and according to his age, he still had an older brother in front of him, and according to his relatives Zhezong, he also had a younger brother.
Empress Xiang pushed Zhao Yao to succeed to the throne because of her own careful thinking, and the then chancellor Zhang Huan immediately stood up against it, he said a sentence: "Duan Wang is frivolous, and cannot rule the world", and finally the empress dowager, Duan Wang Zhao Yi succeeded to the throne as Emperor Huizong of Song.
After succeeding to the throne as emperor, he did not change the style of the literati, and his interest in poetry was far greater than his power. Once, he wrote half a poem on a fan, and for a moment he could not think of the second half, saying that whoever could continue to make a good sentence would be rewarded. It just so happened that a tai student was passing by, and he continued that "all the tastes in the world are tasted, only Jiang Mei is allowed to be a little sour", Song Huizong felt that it was very good, so he gave this tai student jinshi and the first. Although this is a literati style, it is less disciplined and rigorous in doing things.
He also has a special hobby of keju, and when he was still a prince, he often played games in the palace. On that day, Ma Ye sent a small family member gao to send a comb to Zhao Li, and happened to meet a keju who was taking a bow. Gao Li was a good player, and when the ball accidentally kicked to his feet, he couldn't help but show his feet, so a prince and a small squatter began to kick each other, and a ball game was in full swing. Zhao Li directly left Gao Li by his side, and Gao Li was also one of the rebellious courtiers of the future Emperor Huizong of Song.
At the beginning of the reign, there were still checks and balances against the empress, and less than a year after the death of the empress dowager, Emperor Huizong of Song began to personally disrupt the situation. He raised the banner of "only the new is the map" and listed all the courtiers who pointed fingers at the government of the DPRK as "traitorous parties," and either dismissed officials or demeaned them. What is reused is Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and the like, who are extremely poor and extravagant, and who want to expropriate and tyrannically, especially the establishment of the "Huashi Gang" to make the people in the Jiangnan region cry bitterly.
What is even more tragic is that the Ming court has been in turmoil, but Song Huizong has turned a blind eye and listened to it, only thinking that the world is too peaceful and the song and dance are rising. Even in the so-called "Yellow River Qing" of the Song Huizong Dynasty, the so-called "Yellow River Qing" recorded three times, and he was complacent that he thought that he was a "saint", but he did not know that this was just a natural law, and there were 43 well-documented Yellow River Qing in history, with an average of 1 time every 40 years.
In the Yellow River Qing in 1107, "The Qianning Army said that the Yellow River qing, more than eight hundred miles, seven days and nights...", so the song of "Yellow River Qing" was specially composed, and emperor Huizong of Song changed the name of the Qianning army to "Qingzhou" and inscribed it. The funny thing is that in 1127, Emperor Huizong of Song was captured by Jin soldiers and passed through this place, and the inscription before this could only be speechless.
In 1125, when the Jin army invaded the south, he hastily ordered the cancellation of Huashi Gang and issued the "Edict of Sin" to save the people's hearts. When the Jin army approached Bieliang, he fled to Bozhou, Anhui Province, and wrote on the way that "the ancient temple has the right to live in the house, and he sleeps in the monk's residence late at night." This displacement reminded him of the prosperity of the imperial capital, of the sorrow of displacement, not thinking that this was not the end of the pain but only the beginning.
In 1127, the Jin army conquered Bieliang, and Emperor Huizong of Song, who had already taken the throne, became the most important prisoner and was sent to the Jin kingdom. This dreamer, who had dreamed of the destruction of The Liao, finally tasted the most bitter bitter wine.
On the way to escort, he was humiliated, and the actual concubines, wanrong, and princesses were occupied by the generals of the Jin Kingdom. After arriving at the capital of the Jin Dynasty, he was ordered to wear mourning clothes to worship the temple of Jin Taizu's complete Yan Akuta. He was later made an insulting Duke of Xiade and moved to the City of Five Kingdoms (present-day Yilan County, Heilongjiang) and imprisoned.
In that far north land, he wrote another style of poetry, no longer as prosperous and graceful as before:
The west wind shook the door all night, and the depressed lonely house was faintly lit,
Looking back at the three thousand miles of jiashan mountain, there were no geese flying in the south of the mountain.
Only when people experience sorrow can they see through the world. Song Huizong woke up in the sadness, away from the wind and snow, and his life added a heavy shackle, and there was no freedom to speak of.
His dreams were like apricot blossoms, withered in the cold winds of the north, and there was no longer any reason to dream. They can only be manipulated, insulted, and exiled by the Jinguo people. Imprisoned until death.
In 1135 he ended his 9-year captivity, and death may have been a relief for him. It was not until 1142 that his skeleton was allowed to be transported back to Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty for burial.
From 1082 to 1135, his life was only 54 years, during which he was successful as a literati: he created a "thin gold body", exquisite and exquisite, and no one has surpassed it so far; left behind flower and bird paintings such as "Hibiscus Golden Rooster" and "Pond Autumn Evening", but they are all national treasures, and the painting academy system he set up paved the way for the development of Chinese painting; he compiled tea books, which are crucial to the research and inheritance of Chinese tea culture; He left behind many poems, including the opening of the "Three Hundred Songs of Song Ci"...
He was the emperor for 26 years in his life, leaving behind a devastated country, without iron bones and no iron fists, and their end was destined to be the shattering of mountains and rivers, and the death of a stranger in a foreign country.
The life of Song Huizong is like the "Yanshan Pavilion Northbound To See the Apricot Blossom": just like a beautiful apricot blossom, the bloom is hurried and the fall is also hurried. In the last moments of his life in a foreign country, he was accompanied only by the late wind and the cold and snow.
This is the most beautiful mistake, and it is clear that the "absolute lyricist" was born in the imperial family. When the prosperity of the past gradually dissipates, the background of life will be more intense.
