preface
Lu Xun once said:
I thought that all good poems had been done by Tang, and after that, if I could not turn out the "Qi Tian Tai Sheng" in the palm of Rulai's palm, I would not have to do it. "To Yang Jiyun Book")
However, in the same letter, he adds:
However, words and deeds cannot be consistent, and sometimes a few words are also said. "To Yang Jiyun Book")
Readers like Lu Xun's time basically received training in old style poetry from a young age. How could a literati who grew up in that environment not write poetry?
Reading Yang Xiangchi's "Poetry of Stealing IdleNess", I found that it recorded many poets' works in the Republic of China period, and there were some historical celebrities. Excerpt a few songs, not sure if you've ever read them.
1. Yunnan Shuangxiong
When Yang Xiangchi mentioned the warlords of the Republic of China in his "Poetry of Stealing Idle Lu", he said that "among the warriors, there are soldiers who support themselves and those who give poets horizontally, wu Peifu in the north, and Tang Jiyao in the south." Yang Xiangchi believed that Wu Peifu's poems were "shallow and insufficient to record reviews", and had a high evaluation of Tang Jiyao, recording his "Xijiang Zhouzhong" Yun:
Ten years of floating names mistakenly red pine, unprovoked flat ground hero. The waves of the river turn white, and the old trees are more red.
Looking at the small world, smile at the sea and the sky. How much do you know about the vicissitudes of chess, and look at the flag in your eyes. ”
"Xiangzhou Night Berth" cloud:
The Yokozuna River flows through the eight wildernesses, and the clarification is still shoulder to shoulder. The shecheng fox rat should be ambushed, and the Yamazawa dragon snake is hidden for a long time.
The cause has never been empty, and the combination of soldiers and soldiers is the heart of the Buddha. Illuminating people's liver and gallbladder, Kyaukyao is still the same as the bright moonlight.
Tang Jiyao (August 14, 1883 – May 23, 1927), also known as Rongchang, was a fifteen-year-old boy who took the boy exam and was a middle talent. After studying in Japan, he studied military affairs. He was a member of the Early League, the founder and leader of the Dian Army, and the leader of the Dian warlords.
He and Cai Yi led the Chongjiu Uprising, and during the Patriotic War, Tang Jiyao and Cai Yi jointly declared the independence of Yunnan, and in the Dharma Protection Movement, he was promoted to one of the presidents of the Protector army. He ruled yunnan for 14 years from the second year of the Republic of China (1913), and died of illness in Kunming in 1927 at the age of 44, enjoying a state funeral.
Referring to Cai Yi, Yang Xiangchi commented on him as a national hero:
Mr. Cai Songpo was indignant at Yuan Xiangcheng's conspiracy to plot the imperial system, from Beijing to Dian, with a shout of arms, the world responded to the rebellion, and the Hongxian Tianzi, who had ascended to the dragon throne, suddenly turned into a short-lived bubble, and was really a hero who recreated the Republic of China.
For Cai Yi's poems, his evaluation is "also more majestic". Cai Yi's "You Xishan Poem" Yun:
The twin towers stand tall and green, and the red sun shines in the morning sun. Looking at the floor of the Jie Pavilion, the five-color flag flew to recognize the Han family.
again:
The east wind blew through the smoke of wanjia, facing the lake light to catch the sky. Thousands of years of fame dust and soil, biji golden horse since the year.
Cai Yi was a year older than Tang Jiyao and was the first governor of Yunnan after the Xinhai Revolution. Because of Yuan Shikai's suspicions, Cai Yi was transferred to Beijing, and Tang Jiyao was able to take over. Tang Jiyao later became known as the warlord of the divided side, and Cai Yi died of cancer as early as 1916, and was the first person to be arranged by the Beiyang government for a state funeral.
2. The Russo-Japanese War and International Students
In the 30th year of Guangxu (1904 AD), among Tang Jiyao's companions who went to Japan to study, there was an old Chinese medicine doctor in his 60s. This person is Zhou Xia, a strange person from Dali, Yunnan.
Zhou Xia, zi Guohua, the hermit of Hailou, is the author of "Medical Experience" and "Hailou Yincao", one is medicine, and the other is a collection of poems. Zhou Xia has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and when she grew up, she inherited her ancestral business to practice medicine for decades.
It is said that this old man with thick eyebrows and beautiful hair was superhuman, and when he arrived in Japan, he was received by the emperor and became famous for a while.
During the Russo-Japanese War, Zhou Xia had a poem "Jiachen Winter Japan defeated Russia in Fengtian, merchants and peasants organized 150,000 people to celebrate the two-fold bridge, and the emperor would feel the gift" Cloud:
Long live the three hues and shake Tokyo, and the Han agricultural merchants are all soldiers. 150,000 people prayed in unison, and others laughed at me and swallowed.
The others laughed at me and swallowed. The Russo-Japanese War, however, took place in northeast China, and when the whole country of Japan was cheering, Zhou Xia, as a Chinese student, was deeply stimulated.
Lu Xun wrote in "Mr. Fujino":
Naturally, this was the case of Japan's victory over Russia. But there was Chinese sandwiched inside: a detective for the Russians, captured by the Japanese, about to be shot, surrounded by a group of Chinese; and there was me in the lecture hall.
The ancients said:
The upper medicine heals the country, the Chinese medicine heals the people, and the lower doctor heals the disease.
Zhou Xia's experience is so similar to Mr. Lu Xun's, and it was after this stimulation that Lu Xun decided to abandon medical practice.
After Zhou Xia returned to China, she also participated in the revolution and died at the age of 72.
3. Novelist
The author of "The Journey of the Old Remnant" Was Liu Hu (October 18, 1857 – August 23, 1909), also known as Tieyun, nicknamed Hongdu Bailiansheng. He was also an excellent poet, recording his "Spring Suburbs And The Day" cloud in the "Poetry of stealing idleness":
On the outing, I suddenly saw begonia flowers, and the sub-character railing was obliquely inclined. Butterflies suddenly flew into the corner of the house, why was the bondage at the end of the world.
The dried branches of the emerald cage face the fog, and the ten thousand pharyngeal fats are brilliant sunset. Sending a message of spring light and rotten, Jiangnan Langzi has missed home.
Poor spring color full of imperial capital, Ji Zi that year to the country tour. The blue bird does not pass on the Dan FengZhao, and the gold is empty of ink mink.
The sheep sniffed the horse, and the grass went upstairs alone. Where is the lonely country. Stop the clouds and flow for two leisurely. ”
Why are the courtiers in the end of the world, the gold empty ink mink, Liu Hu's poems, it is like the sigh of the frustrated literati in the old times.
Two years after Liu's death, the Xinhai Revolution broke out and a new era came. After the Xinhai Revolution, the content of the old style poets in the new era was different.
When it comes to novelists in the Republic of China period, it is indispensable to the name of Zhang Hexhui. His book "Laughing at the Marriage" has been made into film and television dramas many times, and the father and daughter of Guan Shoufeng in the book finally went to the northeast to resist the war. Zhang Hexhui is also considered to be "the first person in Chinese anti-war literature".
Yang Xiangchi said in his "Poetry of Stealing IdleNess" that he read the newspaper and saw several poems from Zhang Hexhui's "National Day With Feeling", so he included two of them:
I remember when the yellow flowers changed, it was still a good time. Sad but it is Liaodong Road, everywhere the wind flips the flag of other surnames.
Entrepreneurship He zeng forgot several times, and the sound of sorrow wrapped around Chongyang. Xiang Liu did not have the Art of Anmin, and first drew a chasm to the battle field.
At that time, the northeast was lost, and Sichuan and Shandong warlords were at war, and from the poem, we can see Zhang Hateshui's heart of worrying about the country and the people.
In the history of modern Chinese literature, Zhang Hexhui is one of the most prolific writers, and after the founding of New China, he also published more than a dozen novels and novels, and in February 1967, Zhang Hexhui died in Beijing.
4. Anonymous
Throughout the dynasties, there have been works by unknown and even unknown poets. Yang Xiangchi collects several works of folk poets, but none of them record the author's name.
Among them is a pick-up of the waterman "Wing White Hair" cloud:
When people see white hair, I see white hair and joy. When my parents gave birth to me, they were afraid that they would not be able to do this.
Others see white hair, sad time is fleeting, I see white hair, happy to grow now, did not live up to the expectations of parents.
A coachman "Title Yanzi Ling Diaotai" cloud:
Le Zhao Yan Zi Ling, pity Han Guangwu. Ziling has a fishing platform, and Guangwu has no defense.
The world envies the glory and wealth, and the rich are no more than the emperor. But Yan Guang also has a fishing platform that has been famous for thousands of years, and what did the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu leave behind? Money and land are all external objects, nothing more than temporary deposits, but the reputation of the hermit has been passed down through the ages.
There is also the "Guanqi Sense Aria" cloud:
The overall situation is as good as it is, and the danger is not easy to support. The plate is full of mistakes, and it is time to let people.
Song Dynasty monk Zhiwen's "West Pavilion" poem Yun: The world is like a chess game new. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the country was in danger, imperialism was like a pack of wolves, and the poem wrote the sad sense of powerlessness of the Chinese people.
Conclusion
Modern people are more familiar with the Tang poetry and Song Ci, and the works of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China that are relatively close to us are not easy to find and read.
In fact, the Qing Dynasty was the Zhongxing era of poetry, and the literati in the early republic of China were educated in the traditional old style, and many celebrities also liked to create old-style poetry, but unfortunately their works were not highly circulated.
What other excellent works of Republic of China poetry do you know?
