There is about Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, he is very remarkable. First of all, he came from a very ordinary background, his family was poor, he had no power at all, and he relied on his own efforts to establish the Western Han Dynasty. His exploits are obvious to all, and the Western Han Dynasty he established dealt a fierce blow to the Xiongnu and maintained the stability of the Central Plains, which was very powerful.
So is Liu Bang's learning very high? The answer is no, as the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang did not have any knowledge of poetry, on the contrary, it was precisely the "illiterate" one. Why? The late Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Jie has a poem "Book Burning Pit" as evidence - "Bamboo smoke sells the emperor's industry virtual, guanhe empty lock ancestral dragon residence." The pit ash was not cold and chaotic in Shandong, and Liu Xiang originally did not read. This means that Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism to consolidate the unification of Jiangshan, but he did not expect that the people who seized the Great Qin Jiangshan were not readers.
Liu Bang was not only illiterate, but also an out-and-out "hooligan". When he was a child, Liu Bang was idle in the street market all day, but it is a fact, because he was a big illiterate, so the young Liu Bang did not have a good feeling for the readers, and even the absurd behavior of peeing in the Confucian hat in the past occurred. Although Liu Bang did not have much culture, But Liu Bang also wrote poetry, although the number is not much, only two poems, but one is very popular, we are still praising.
Most of the ancient Chinese feudal dynasties respected Confucianism, and as a governing concept, Confucian classics naturally became the content that must be learned by ordinary readers from the emperor to the emperor, the ancient Chinese Confucian classics include the "Four Books and Five Classics", of which the first of the "Five Classics" is the "Book of Poetry", which shows the status of poetry in the minds of the ancient Chinese, the ancient Chinese literati are good at reading poetry, and they are also good at composing poetry, and the literati get together, and will always improvise a few poems to express their aspirations.
Liu Bang's two poems are "Song of the Great Wind" and "Song of the Great Wind", the most famous of which is the "Song of the Great Wind": the wind rises and the clouds fly, and Wei Jia Hai returns to his hometown. Anderson is on all sides! Although there are only three simple sentences, it reflects Liu Bang's heroic character, which is the fundamental reason why he can establish the Han Dynasty in the future, because many capable people are willing to unite around him and help him fight the world.
Liu Bang's "Song of the Great Wind" is very well known, and even now, many people can memorize this poem. Although this poem is very simple to read and has no profound content, it is very imposing to read, and this kind of poetic emperor really can't do it. Liu Bang composed poems, although the number is very small, but the quality is really quite high. Of course, there are also emperors who compose a lot of poems and have a very poor quality.
The Qianlong Emperor wrote more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime, he reigned for 60 years, disciplined the government for 4 years, from his ascension to the throne to his death, more than 20,000 days in more than 60 years, so roughly calculated, equivalent to the Qianlong Emperor to compose two or three poems a day, and according to historical records, the Qianlong Emperor's poetry was exaggerated to the extent of almost obsessive. I might as well ask readers and friends, what is everyone's evaluation of the poetry of the Qianlong Emperor? As soon as this question is thrown out, most people may not be able to answer it, because few people can think of the poems of the Qianlong Emperor, even if it is one, so to speak, the Qianlong Emperor's more than 40,000 poems were written in vain, in fact, it is not, because he left us a big joke, this is the value of more than 40,000 poems of the Qianlong Emperor! Qianlong and Liu Bangbi, his poems are really too general.
