"Light frost hua wet powder marks, who apply silk tent to protect the spring temperature." The poem follows the ten miles to find the spring road, and worries about the three more hanging moon villages. Fly away only the clouds as a companion, and sell Ken Xinyu as the soul. A statue of a Luofuke, the deciduous empty mountain is hiding the door. "The Ming Dynasty Gao Qi's "Nine Plum Blossom Songs" is the fourth
This group of "Nine Plum Blossom Songs" should be the work of Gao Qi in the four years after he was released from hanlin editing at the age of 34 to the age of 39 and was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. The 32-year-old Gao Qi's enlistment to the Zhu Ming Dynasty to revise the History of the Yuan differed from the attitude of enlisting Zhang Shicheng to introduce the shogunate at the age of 16, when he was young and did not have much regard for Zhang Shicheng's regime, so he postponed it repeatedly. From the age of 16 to 23, his most youthful and exuberant Chinese served in the Shogunate of Rao, and he was young and promising, and his reputation was far and wide. But at the age of 23, he suddenly resigned from the shogunate and lived in seclusion with his father-in-law's wife in Aoka, what was the reason for this? Or is he feeling lonely among a bunch of confucians, or does he know he's not suitable for politics?
With the fall of Zhang Shicheng's regime, his former superior Rao Jie was escorted to Nanjing to ambush him, was Gao Qi lucky that he did not follow Zhang Shicheng for too long, or was he sorry for his boss?
Zhu Yuanzhang fixed the Ming Dynasty, and the capital was in Nanjing. In the first year of its opening, the imperial examination system was abolished, and talents were recruited from the people, and Gao Qi and other literati who had worked in Zhang Shicheng's regime were recruited. This may seem nice, but with one premise, state and county officials cannot hire their own staff. A large number of literati were unemployed, and could only enter the bureaucratic system through Zhu Yuanzhang's assessment and obtain a future and a job.
Why did the 32-year-old Gao Qi apply? Judging from his age, or he wanted to do something, but from the fact that he was in a hurry for two years to return home, we can see that this expedition is actually of a forced nature. At the beginning of the new dynasty, these people who had the names of the old regimes must take a stand and avoid falling into the fate of Rao Jie. Actually Gao Qi is sensitive. Some people say that killing Gao Qi was the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of the literati demanding obedience to imperial power, but before Gao Qi, Rao Jie's death was enough to kill chickens and monkeys.
Gao Qi was a wait-and-see attitude, and could not refuse the application, or his wish was to fail, or to take up unimportant positions and responsibilities. But his talent and age are eye-catching. And Gao Qi is thin, long and beautiful, and looks handsome.
Zhu Yuanzhang held out hope for the 32-year-old young man, not only letting him major in Yuan history, but also entrusting him with the education of the princes. Two years later, the revision of the Yuan History was completed, and Zhu Yuanzhang entrusted hubu shilang with the heavy responsibility, but Gao Qi resolutely refused, saying that he had not learned to manage money when he was young and could not take on heavy responsibilities. This may be half truth, and half sincerely do not want to do it.
He was not optimistic about Zhang Shicheng at that time, nor was he necessarily optimistic about Zhu Yuanzhang, and those who are familiar with history will always have a sober sense of being willing to jump out of history and be an objective observer. Gao Qi had precocious puberty and melancholy that did not fit his age, and more than two years of palace experience also felt the oppression of accompanying jun like a tiger. In the past two years, his work has been impeccable, but who knows, his inner fragility and concern?
After the early death of his parents, he had a special attachment to the family, his wife had already given birth to three daughters and a son for him, and Qingqiu's inheritance was enough for them to live a happy and peaceful life. After the chaos, people attach great importance to the protection and warmth of the family.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt incredible when he watched this young man so easily fail to live up to his expectations and trust. However, he still thanked Gao Qi heavily. Gao Qi's heart was like an arrow, and he was light and light, and rushed to his hometown.
Gao Qi had Zhu Yuanzhang's bounty, as well as Qingqiu's property, he opened a museum to teach apprentices, teach students, praise the wealth and well-being of the Ming Dynasty, and of course have leisure time, traveling through the mountains and rivers here. He loves the plum blossoms in his hometown and the plum blossoms in the world, which is a deep feeling of those who have traveled through the chaotic world. At this time, he is the victor of time and years, full of poetry, but also with inner satisfaction and a little pride.
He believed that his choice was correct, he withdrew from Zhang Shicheng's shogunate in advance, avoided the slaughter of the fall of the regime, and managed to withdraw from Zhu Yuanzhang's officialdom. He thought that his low profile would make happiness last a little longer, after all, he was once an orphan and he was more concerned about the simple stability and happiness of the world. He loved his wife to mend him under the lamp, and he loved his children by his side. Not many people know that behind his great talent is his sincere desire for a stable life. It was something he had been missing since he was a child, and he was going to hold it for the rest of his life.
In recent years, his mood has been beautiful, and he has a special love for plum blossoms, because they are the flowers of the chaotic world. How not himself.
It's because I've had a hard time, so I like the cold opening of plum blossoms.
This is another visit to Mei in the mountains.
"Light frost hua wet powder marks, who apply silk tent to protect the spring temperature."
The white plums in the mountains are in full bloom, in the smoke and rain, everywhere is beautiful, the flowers are luxuriant but the flowers are sparse, and they look like a cage of light and transparent smoke yarn from a distance. Gao Qi really went up the mountain to see the plums, and saw the common white plums in Jiangnan, and his love for this flower was obviously more than the pink and red plum blossoms used for ornamentation. Because of this kind of Jiangmei, it is more beautiful and hardy, and it survives on its own vitality.
It's just that such plum blossoms, enduring the baptism of wind and rain, bloom first in this late winter, who can protect these beautiful plum blossoms and give them a tent on a cold night? Their own blossoms are their own tents, which are honorable and pitiful.
This is obviously containing the misery of his own life and the pain of his past life.
That's why he was willing to walk ten miles of mountain road and visit the plum blossoms on a cold night in the middle of the night.
Gao Qi loves plum blossoms, snow fills the mountains in Gao Shi Lie, is written in the snow of the vigorous dried plum blossoms, the moon under the forest beauty, is written about the appearance and aroma of plum blossoms in the snow night moonlight.
"The poem follows the ten miles to find the spring road, and the sorrow is in the village of the three more hanging moons."
In the middle of the night, it is not the popular snow walking carnival in the Tang and Song Dynasties, especially at the end and beginning of the dynasty, the plum viewing activity will give way to survival, but why Gao Qi loves to see the plum in the middle of the night, there must be stories and experiences about his survival.
Whether it is the loneliness of the death of both parents since childhood, or whether it is in a state of ubiquitous repression in Zhang Shicheng's regime, or whether there is something else, it is impossible to understand. But I believe that when he is most bored, he must look at plum blossoms, because that cold and fragrant feeling can make him settle down and find a self.
The reason why Gao Qi was jealous of Zhu Yuanzhang, about Zhu Yuanzhang also saw the hidden forbearance in this young man, but he did not know how this power would erupt, and he was afraid.
For Gao Qi, grasping the coldest snow in his hand and seeing the most proud plum blossoms can calm his still young heart.
This man who sharpened himself to save his family had a strong vitality on his body that made Zhu Yuanzhang jealous.
Gao Qi's poems have a kind of clear immortality, if you don't think carefully that he walks ten miles of mountain roads at night, you simply suspect that he is possessed by Li Bai. I have reason to believe that Gao Qi is in good health and looks young and handsome, which should also be what Zhu Yuanzhang is suspicious of. He couldn't imagine the future of this young man and lay flat on it. Besides, this person once went deep into the palace and taught the prince, not for my use, am I waiting to leave hidden dangers for myself?
There are many variables in the length of life. Li Bai was known to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, but in his later years assisted the Yong King Li Xuan in his rebellion.
Of course, Gao Qi didn't think so much, he just lived in the most dashing and happy moment, but he didn't know that he was tired of talent, and his fate was already doomed.
"Fly away only the clouds of worry as a companion, and sell Ken Xinyu as the soul."
A statue of a Luofuke, the deciduous empty mountain is hiding the door. ”
At this time, Gao Qi was on the plum blossom, opening like a fairy cloud and falling like jade shavings. Like Li Bai, he has the immortality of empty mountains and loneliness. Everyone is sleeping soundly in the cold night. Gao Qi continued to walk ten miles up the mountain road and went home to sleep.
"The clouds and fog are the palace for the screen snow, and the dust has no way to pass."
The spring breeze did not move the branches first, and the trees came to the beginning of the night to empty.
The green-sleeved lady is under the bamboo, and the white-clad prime minister is in the middle of the mountain.
Lonely here and the king complained, looking back at the famous garden full of thorns. "The Ming Dynasty Gao Qi's "Nine Plum Blossom Songs" is the fourth
In this song, the natural Gao Qi is a plum blossom.
This is the white plum in the mountains, the Wizard of Oz. The clouds and mist are screens, the snow is the palace, the plum blossoms hidden in the mountains, cut off the roads of the world, and no one disturbs it anymore.
But it maintains the most natural sensitivity and sensitivity, when the spring breeze does not come, the plum blossom first feels the change of yang, the branches will bloom small flowers, when the moon comes, the flowers are white and melt in the moonlight, beautiful and gorgeous, and the light flickers, if there is none.
Gao Qi is intelligent and sensitive, compared with plum blossoms, far from the hustle and bustle, but insightful, he has the conceit of a scholar, the Xuanmei of Taoism, or the sentence I summarized, he is willing to stand on the edge of history and time, to look at the history that is happening, with a wise scholarly temperament.
It is said that plum blossoms are like beautiful beauties and bamboo as neighbors, which is a use of Du Fu's "cold green sleeves are thin, and the sun is leaning on the bamboo." "It is about the beauty of a beautiful woman of noble character who is abandoned but self-preserving.
It is said that plum blossoms are like cloth ministers without imperial official positions, wearing white clothes, and a tree blossoms, which is enough to lead the spring.
These two poems are a high praise for the plum blossom, which lives in the mountains and forests, but pre-spring in advance, and the white-clad Qingxiang dominates the spring.
This cannot but be said that Gao Qi's heart was a little proud at this time. Of course, this is talking about plum blossoms, how not to say themselves, clothed and talented, willing to live in seclusion in the mountains.
In such a place, plum blossoms, you don't complain about fate, think about it, if you grew up in an aristocratic garden, you have already metabolized dynasties, personnel changes, plum blossoms do not exist, can you still be in the mountains like this, blossom freely?
This is Gao Qi's confession.
He did not trust Zhu Yuanzhang, he was indeed talented, and he was unwilling to go out of the mountain because he was afraid of the fate of the jade burning. His retreat is indeed an escape. He was very aware of what he was doing.
It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang is illiterate, that is a rumor, he did read very late, but experience and intelligence, far more than ordinary people.
I don't know if Zhu Yuanzhang saw this plum blossom. With Zhu Yuanzhang's domineering spirit, I believe he saw this poem and understood Gao Qi's uncooperative attitude. Gao Qi prides himself on being a white-robed man with insight into heavenly opportunities, but he questions the longevity of Zhu Yuanzhang's regime, and is single-minded and full of pride.
Zhu Yuanzhang would rather kill three thousand by mistake than keep Gao Qi.
Gao Qi's mistake was that he was too talented and too eye-catching, and if he was not requisitioned for the second time, he did not go deep into Zhu Yuanzhang's palace and had intersected with the crown prince, he was just writing a hundred cloth beggars, and no one was overly in contact. His tragedy lies in the encounter with a suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang. His quest for retreat was all at fault.
Cutting the grass did not remove the roots, the spring wind blew again, and Zhu Yuanzhang killed Gao Qi.
The tragedy of Gao Qi is the tragedy of all the literati in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, who are in a difficult situation and have a chaotic world.
The most beautiful plum blossom of Daming, hidden in the deep mountains and countryside, was also cut down by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
Gao Qi, who lingered in his hometown of landscape plum blossoms, if there was happiness, it was also the last four years, and wrote the most beautiful plum blossom group poem "Plum Blossom Nine Songs" in the history of literary poetry.
