Poetry hunting every day
Pay attention to the reading dogs
In the Song Dynasty, there is an alternative geek named Xing Junchen.
Although he is not very famous, his unique skills are difficult to match even such worldly masters as Su Shi and Xin Shuyi. People at the same time as him lamented that this man was so talented, but unfortunately it was all used for jokes.
Xing Junchen is a son of a city well in Beijing, with a naughty personality, born to joke, and very eager. With this advantage, Xing Junchen, who had just entered the career, became a courtier in the imperial palace, specifically to make the emperor happy. In that era of extremely popular words, Xing Junchen was famous for his masterpiece "Linjiang Immortal". "Linjiang Immortal" was originally a common word plate used by scribes, but the Xing version of "Linjiang Immortal" is different and always has a signature mark: the last two sentences must end with Tang poems to achieve a kind of shaking baggage effect.
During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the whole country operated the Huashi Class, and transported the southern strange stones to Beijing for decoration of the royal gardens. I believe that this historical event is not unfamiliar to everyone, because "Water Margin" is in such a context to unfold the plot. The large stones in the Flower Stone Class are called the Divine Luck Stone, and whether or not they can really bring the Immortal Luck To the Emperor, at least that amazing volume really needs to be transported by the Immortals.
In the spirit of victory over heaven, the officials in charge of purchasing huashi gangs connected with dozens of large ships, barely carrying a piece of divine transport stone, and reaching Beijing through the canal waterway. Such a spectacular scene lifted the heart of song Huizong's artist, who ordered Xing Junchen to fill in a poem "Linjiang Immortal" to help him, and limit the rhyme of the word "gao". Limiting rhyme is a practice that increases the difficulty of creation, and the master cannot enjoy it unless he plays like this.
Xing Junchen's ability to compose a poem in seven steps can be most vividly exerted under the harsh conditions of such propositions, limited rhymes, limited words, and limited time, a poem "Linjiang Immortal" blurted out, and at the end is the essence of the whole text: "Majestic and high." The gift is light and affectionate, and the goose feathers are sent thousands of miles. ”
A divine fortune stone that consumed countless manpower and material resources, Xing Junchen actually said that this was a thousand miles to send goose feathers, which was clearly a satire on Song Huizong. This boldness was really big enough, fortunately, Emperor Huizong of Song did not pay attention to Xing Junchen's profound intentions, which was also a kind of imperial strength.
However, the emperor can bear the joke, but the people around the emperor may not also be able to withstand the joke, such as the eunuch Liang Shicheng.
Liang Shicheng can be called the Wei Zhongxian of the Song Dynasty, and is listed as one of the "Six Traitors". When he debuted, he played a world-wide uproar sign - claiming to be Su Shi's illegitimate son.
Everyone must think this is very strange, but there is more than one strange flower in the Northern Song Dynasty. Tong Guan in the "Six Adulteres" also claimed to be the widow of the famous general Han Qi, and these two people could be called the two most shameless landscapes in the Huizong period. However, to the surprise of the world, Liang Shicheng was not only superb in calligraphy, but also able to compose poetry, and was a well-deserved first person in literature and art among eunuchs.
Once, Liang Shicheng presented a new poem, and Song Huizong, in addition to admiring it, asked Xing Junchen, who happened to be on the side, to fill in the words, and the theme of the words was to praise the beauty of Liang Shicheng's verses, limiting the rhyme of the word "poem".
Any literati who is slightly self-disciplined and self-conscious, in the face of the scene of telepromption for the adulterous courtier, will definitely feel that the pen holder has the weight of a thousand jun, and Xing Junchen does not mind at all, and the "Linjiang Immortal" is completed immediately, and the ending is finished: "Hard work is a new poem." Chant a word, twist off a number of stems. ”
"Yin'an a word, twist a few stems", this sentence comes from the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Yanrang's "Bitter Yin", the original poem describes the hardships of composing poetry: "Mo words in poetry, poetry is more difficult." Chant a word, twist off a number of stems and whiskers..." This means that when the poet was conceiving, for the sake of a word of deliberation, he unconsciously broke several beards. Just to take care of Yun's feet, Xing Junchen changed "whiskers" to "beards", and the meaning did not change.
These two Tang poems were used so brilliantly that they immediately caused Emperor Huizong of Song to lose his voice and laugh. Because Liang Shi cost was born as a eunuch, where is the beard to twist?
Liang Shicheng not only had no beard, but also had no strength, and soon after, he instigated his henchmen to impeach Xing Junchen and exile him to the distant State of Yuezhou. If ordinary people had suffered such a lesson, the second half of their lives would surely have converged a lot, but Xing Junchen was born for ridicule, and he would rather die than ridicule.
Yuezhou Taishou Wang Lingjiu looked up to Xing Caizi's great name, and emperor Yuan, who was also the Emperor of Heavenly Heights, was not afraid of violating Liang Shicheng's taboo, and treated Xing Junchen with courtesy, with yingge and swallow dances and fine wine and food.
In the Song Dynasty, the poetry of the celebrities should be spread to the world with the help of the gentle singing voice of the singers and prostitutes, and the singers should also use the poetry of the celebrities to raise their own value, so it often happens that the singers beg for words from the celebrities at the banquet. Yuezhou singers are also not exempt from vulgarity, and when they learn that Xing Caizi is here, of course, they refuse to let go of the opportunity to beg. Xing Junchen is easy-going, quick-witted, and naturally will not shirk.
However, unfortunately, yuezhou singers only noticed Xing Junchen's easy-going and quick-witted side, but ignored his funny nature and his most mischievous pro-narrow temperament.
There is a singer with a beautiful posture, her skin is as clean as snow, but it is quite smelly, and the words given to her by Xing Junchen end like this: "The crispy breasts are white." Haruka is not snow, for there is dark incense to come. Using Wang Anshi's poem "Plum Blossoms", the heroine's physical defects are ridiculed happily.
Another singer was good at dancing, but her posture was slightly more plump, and Xing Junchen gave the lyrics: "Only worry about singing and dancing, and turn into a rainbow cloud." These two sentences are taken from Li Bai's "Musical Words in the Palace", which is still Xing Caizi's signature ironic style.
Such a talent should be regarded as the funniest lyricist in the two Song Dynasty!
