In the first month of the eighth year of Chunxi (1181 AD), there was heavy snow in Jiangnan.
Lu You, a poet who has been busy outside for ten years, finally has a period of idle time. In his hometown of Shanyin (Shaoxing), 56-year-old him, stepping on the snow to visit friends, crossing the mountain temple Qingquan, looking at the snow-white lonely peak cuizhu, but in the bottom of his heart, what he never forgot was - to help the decline and endure the cold jun do not smile, and the heart of the country is as strong as iron.
After 831, in this same rainy and snowy Year of the Tiger, the writer Lu Chunxiang especially missed Lu You.
His new work "Heaven and Earth Release - Lu Youchuan" was also baked in the snowy days of Jiangnan, and when you open it, you can reach the first month of chunxi's eighth year - the snow in that year is really big, it snows on the third day of the first month, and it is still snowing on the twenty-eighth day of the first month.

He was a good guest in his years
Lu You can be described as a household name, even if the child who has just read a few words can already recite "Wang Shi Bei Ding Zhongyuan Day, the family sacrifice has not forgotten to tell Nai Weng".
Even so, we still don't know Lu You, from childhood to older, mentionIng Lu You's name, most people describe him as just busy showing children, thinking about resisting gold, and the love with Tang Wan who was sad to the point of breaking his intestines.
In Lu Chunxiang's pen, there are different land tours.
More importantly, he leads the reader into Lu You's text with a delicate tone, and then into Lu You's life scene.
Because of this, we can feel the heavy snow of the eight years of Chunxi for more than eight hundred years, and walk into this snow, the poet's observation and thoughts, and the urgency of him waiting for the king's order to rush to battle, as if in front of him.
"This kind of writing can not only appreciate everything lu you wrote, but also have me as a writer to develop today."
Lu Chunxiang is a first-class writer, vice president of the China Essay Association, vice chairman of the Zhejiang Writers Association, and president of the Zhejiang Provincial Prose Literature Association.
He has published more than 30 kinds of essay collections, such as "Sick Letters", "Character Jin", "Musical Cavity", "Notes on Notes", "Lian Shan", "Only", "Sleeve in the Brocade", "Ninety Thousand Miles wind", "The Seed of Neon Dress", "Yi Jian Zhi Xinshu", "Cloud in the Brocade" and so on.
He has won the Lu Xun Literature Award, the Beijing Literature Award, the Shanghai Excellent Literary Works Award, the Zhejiang Provincial Excellent Literary Works Award, and the Gold Medal for Chinese Newspaper Supplement Works.
In this way, Lu Chunxiang followed Lu You to explore his family lineage, endure chaos, follow teachers, examinations, love, become an official, enter Shu, and return to his hometown... Since Lu You himself had written "The Record of Entering Shu", "The Record of the Old School", and "The Tale of Heaven and Earth -- The Biography of Lu You" also referred to such titles, the titles of each volume were "Family History", "Departure from Chaos", "Master's Record", "Examination Record", "Love Record"... Until the seventeenth volume of the Book of Entering Shu (Part II) (Epilogue).
The Book of Entering Shu is an extremely important part of the "Heaven and Earth Release- The Biography of Lu You", which is divided into upper, middle and lower parts, but Lu Chunxiang does not arrange it according to time, but places the way of the later notes of the "Book of Entering Shu" (Part 2) at the end of the book, in which he focuses on his search for Lu You.
In the summer of the fortieth year of Shaoxing (1170), at the age of 46, Lu You went to Kuizhou (夔州, in modern Chongqing, in present-day Chongqing) to serve as a general judge.
He took 5 children and his family members from the canal to the Yangtze River, against the water, 157 days to travel 5,000 miles. After entering the Shu Land, he went around many places and continued his not-so-smooth career. This eight-year-long debut was an important turning point in Lu You's life, and his poetic style also underwent major changes, the sorrow in Du Fu's poems constantly struck his soul, and the eight months on the front line of the Southern Zheng Anti-Jin Dynasty made him remember it for a lifetime.
"On paper, I finally realized that I had to do something about it." As Lu You said in the poem, Lu Chunxiang also took a journey into Shu by Lu You - from Hangzhou to Yichang, Fengjie, Wanzhou, Chengdu, Chongzhou, all the way to the then Southern Zheng, and now in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, Lu You was at the forefront of the army's resistance to Jin, and finally, it was Lu You's Three Mountains on the shore of Shaoxing Jing Lake, which was the place where he lived for more than 40 years and set sail into Shu.
"He's a good guest, and he's been here." This is the last sentence of Lu You's poem "The Secluded Residence". Read today, it is like a prophecy.
"I am the 'good guest', I have come here to visit the traces of Lu You, looking in his poems, looking for him on the way of his eunuchs, I know that what I have found is only the grass snake gray line, far from the truth, I want to try to enter the poet's real world, and make a spiritual collision with him." Fortunately, Lu You is still a simple person, simple enough to only write poetry, and only the erection of the country is left in his plump heart. ”
Thus, there is today's "Heaven and Earth Release - Lu You Biography".
A big getaway in Beijing
No matter how much snow is, spring always comes.
However, the spring of the thirteenth year of Chunxi (1186 AD) came later than today. In April of the lunar calendar, begonia flowers bloom.
In this spring, 62-year-old Lu You got drunk in Hangzhou.
In "Heaven and Earth Release- The Legend of Lu You", Lu Chunxiang restores the gathering between Lu You and his friends, as well as the background of the famous song "Lin'an Spring Rain First Rain".
At that time, Hangzhou, that is, the capital City of Lin'an. There is a white ocean lake inside the Genshan Gate, and there is a South Lake Garden on the lakeside, which is a garden created by Zhang Jun, the great-grandson of the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Zhang Jun, and people praised it as "Saixi Lake".
Lu Youxiang from "Heaven and Earth Release - Lu You Biography"
It was the third day of the first month of April, and Lu You, a famous poet of the same era, yang Wanli, and Zhang Jun, a friend and student 28 years younger than him, were drinking together in the North Garden of Nanhu Garden.
Prior to this, Lu You had not come to Beijing for 8 years.
This time, the emperor sent a new order to him, who was idle in San'in, and asked him to serve as the governor of the imperial court. As was customary, he had to go to the capital first and thank the emperor.
From the age of thirty to thirty years, lu you's ideals have gradually faded in the collision with reality. Therefore, serving as Yan Zhou and looking at the landscape to write poetry is not the best choice for later life.
That day, Lu You drank high.
In Yang Wanli's poem, he wrote down Lu You's drunken state - since it was a good wine, let the begonias also drink a cup; drinking, the hat of the black yarn also fell, and the face was covered with falling begonia petals; the wine was strong and poetic, whether it was a block or a pride in the chest, flowing out through the end of the pen...
During the half month of living in Hangzhou, Lu You left the top work of the "Southern Song Dynasty Poetry Ranking": "Lin'an Spring Rain First Rain".
"Xiao Lou listened to the spring rain one night, and the Ming Dynasty sold apricot blossoms in the deep alley." Deep Lane, in today's Hangzhou's Bao'er Lane. Many hangzhou people have visited the Lu You Memorial Hall at No. 98 Bao'er Lane, but not many people think about it - more than eight hundred years ago, for Lu You, what kind of spring night was it, and where did Lu You go to the ideal that he had pursued all his life?
There is an answer in "Heaven and Earth Release- The Legend of Lu You".
Eight years ago, in August of the fifth year of Chunxi, Lu You returned from Shu and was about to go to Fujian to join the company, and also came to Hangzhou, and Lu Chunxiang fictionalized a dialogue between Song Xiaozong and Lu You.
One said that Aiqing's situation was still clear; the other said that all hardships, the subjects are not afraid, they are afraid of idleness.
One said, Shuo also wanted to do something, but the affairs of the imperial court were too complicated; the other said, Your Majesty, resisting jin and paying the country mainly depend on your determination and will.
Between the monarchs and courtiers, they all exercised restraint and showed their respective sharp edges.
Anti-gold, or continue to be partial? The emperor has the bitterness of the emperor, and the courtiers have the helplessness of the courtiers. But the emperor was more cunning and turned the topic to Lu You's newly acquired concubine Yang Shi at the time, aborting the conversation he did not want to continue.
Eight years of time, no matter how much ambition is in my heart, I have been polished to the point of no temper. Lu Chunxiang said that this time, Lu You was very clear in his heart, and arranging for him to go to Yanzhou was just a kind of comfort.
A writer once asked Lu Chunxiang: "When you write About Land Tour, do you feel that it is a Land Tour?" ”
"In some of the fragments that can be written more freely, I just write him as if I were myself, and I have to face this scene. Sometimes, you must think of him as yourself and walk in. Lu Chunxiang said that this is a reasonable fiction that conforms to human nature.
Heaven and earth are released
At the age of 52, Lu You called himself "Fang Weng".
Speaking of which, is that decadence not because the Northern Expedition is hopelessly devouring his heart, and then relying on wine and poetry? He was still deposed from the shrine for this reason.
But his poems were always good, and Emperor Xiaozong, who was in the capital, could not help but praise him as "Little Li Bai" when he read them, and showed great compassion and recalled him to the capital.
Speaking of which, Emperor Xiaozong appreciated Lu You, gave him the origin of a fellow soldier, and saved him from repeated failures in going to Beijing to catch the exam. However, as Lu Chunxiang wrote at the end of "Examination Record"—the next thing he had to experience in his life was a different form of examination.
Lu You's life can be described as bumpy. If you want to say that the day of Shunsu is probably the day when he stepped down from his post in Fuzhou to the day when he took office in the imperial edict of the capital.
At that time, Lu You lived in the Hundred Officials Mansion in the capital, which was very small, with only two houses, and was a neighbor of Zhou Bida. In the thirty-first year of Shaoxing (1161), he also wrote a "Record of Smoke Boats" to record the situation in which he lived here. Lu Chunxiang said that the location of the Baiguan Mansion is in the area of today's Lime Bridge.
More importantly, at this time, Guanyan Liang, who led a million troops to the south, had been killed by his subordinates before the emperor's "imperial conquest" reached the bank of the Yangtze River, and the Jin army retreated north, rekindling the seeds of the northern expedition of the land front, but he did not get the opportunity to go to the front, but he was in the capital, and the opinion of Zhazi could still go to the court.
At that time, Song Xiaozong was very optimistic about Lu You, but the outspoken Lu You was implicated in a gossip incident.
Song Xiaozong had two favored courtiers: Zeng Qian and Long Dayuan, at a "private cocktail party" of Emperor Xiaozong, the palace maid asked Zeng Qin to write a poem for her, and before that, some poets had been punished for this, and Zeng Yao refused to write, and this matter gossip came and went, and it reached Lu You's ears, and he said angrily: Emperor Xiaozong should completely stay away from these people. This sentence reached Emperor Xiaozong's ears, and Emperor Xiaozong was greatly enraged, so he put Lu Youwai in Zhenjiang to do the general judgment, and the official rank was eight pins.
Lu Chunxiang said that this incident reflects the straight side of Lu You's personality.
And the decadence of "letting go" is in this kind of giving of the times, layered on top of each other.
Superman of the Southern Song Dynasty
"In my eyes, you are a superman, you are from the Southern Song Dynasty, which is the meaning of the existence of the southern Song Dynasty."
At the beginning of "Heaven and Earth Release- Lu You's Biography", Lu Chunxiang wrote a letter to Lu You. He greeted Brother Wu Guan and said that his heart was always nervous for Lu You, and he had always been nervous.
Yes, born in the heavy rain of the fluttering era, the unfortunate marriage with Tang Wan, the examination obstructed by Qin Juniper, the workplace where the main war faction and the main faction took turns to appear... Which one doesn't make people nervous.
But the land tour has finally become a land tour, and the rivers and rivers have been remembered and looked up to.
Lu Chunxiang said that even if the reader does not understand Lu You, after reading the opening letter, he can know his life, which is different from the life of Lu You that we usually recognize.
"Heaven and Earth Release- Lu You Biography" leads to countless details belonging to the Song. The charm of Song culture has been passed on by this poet in many aspects to this day.
For example, Lu You fought against jin, fought tigers, and handled government affairs in Nanzheng, which was the ideal and reality of fighting for the country eight hundred years ago:
"The surging eight months of Nan zheng have completely changed Lu You's life and poetic style, and with the passage of time, Nan Zheng time has gradually evolved into a kind of strength, a kind of thought, a spirit, and has been deeply immersed in Lu You's old age, until the end of his life."
For example, on the way to Shu, Lu You traveled to the Dongpo Xuetang in Huangzhou, which was the daily life of the people eight hundred years ago:
"In this place where fish are as low as dirt, there are no small fish, so what to do, his cat wants to eat." Ha, bitter and happy, Lu You likes cats, cats are human, he writes dozens of cat poems, presumably raising cats is his usual pleasure, and he also has to take cats with him on a long trip..."
In this book, the details of Lu You's scientific expeditions, officials, history repairs, faces, and rural residences make the spring, summer, autumn, and winter at that time, through more than eight hundred years, roaring.
Standing at the Lu You Memorial Hall at No. 98 Bao'er Lane, it is easy to remember everything about Lu You in the capital, his ambition and loss, and this small building opens the empathy of modern people. We have read about his pride and helplessness, but we rarely see him living idly in the countryside.
In "Heaven and Earth Released- Lu You Biography", the "Folk Record" occupies a large space and runs through the whole book. The hometown of San'in, that is where Lu You's life fluctuates and soothes his heart and makes a comeback.
In the late spring of 1203, the 79-year-old Lu You left the capital and never entered Lin'an City again. From then until the end of his life, lu you was placed in the era at that time, and he was still full of sorrow and indignation. But if we only treat him as an old man living idly in the countryside, this is a rare leisurely time in his life.
In addition to the standard of these literati, Lu You is also a good doctor who benefits the four sides.
"Collecting medicine on the heavenly pond", "collecting medicine on the mountain", "Jian Mao Chun can be sought, yam autumn can be dug"... Lu You's whereabouts in his hometown are recorded in his poems. So, how clever is his medical skills? Lu Chunxiang wrote down the story of Lu You riding a donkey and carrying a medicine box in the countryside to treat people.
Lu You only cured many people's diseases, many rural children, their families are grateful for Lu You's treatment, the children changed the surname of Lu. When Lu Chunxiang spoke of these fragments, there was an irrepressible excitement in his tone.
Lu You wrote countless poems to record his journey to practice medicine, among them, the poem "Immediate Matter" wrote: "Shangshou when Xu Zhi, Shen Qi jealous qigong" "fear and philistine people say, lifelong deafness", the poet means that according to the disease, can not use too much force, and all this, he only and understand people to say.
It seems that healing is like governing the country.
He stayed the stick
Lu You's love is familiar to everyone, but Lu Chunxiang is still quite emotional.
In addition to describing the love between Lu You and Tang Wan in the "Love Record", he also wrote about Lu You and his second wife Wang Shi and his concubine Yang Shi on this basis.
Lu You and Tang Wan lived together for two years, and there was a fifty-year marriage between them and the Wang clan, who gave birth to five sons and a daughter for Lu You. In his lifetime, Lu You wrote nearly 10,000 poems, more than 140 words, and more than 700 articles, and Lu You let Tang Wan live in his poems, but did not write a word for Wang.
It was not until Wang's death at the age of 71 that Lu You wrote less than 100 words of "The Record of The People of Wang's Circle", and there was a poem of "Mourning for Wounds", one of which was: "The white-headed old widow wept in the empty hall, not only mourning death but also hurting himself." ”
Lu Chunxiang said that Lu You's crying is self-harm, which includes not only the misfortune of his own married life, but also the unhappiness of his career, as well as the repeated blows of the ruthless reality of his grand ideals.
Lu You - Lu Chunxiang, when these two names are juxtaposed, someone always asks: Are you a family?
Lu Chunxiang is a native of Tonglu, Zhejiang, and according to the Tongjiang Lu clan genealogy, the Tongjiang Lu clan is a descendant of Lu Xiufu, and in Lu You's Shanyin Lu clan genealogy, Lu Xiufu is the grandson of Lu Zibu, the sixth son of Lu You.
However, one thing that makes Lu Chunxiang more strange is that Lu Xiufu is a native of Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, and in the Lu family genealogy in Yancheng, there is no information about Lu You and Lu Zibu.
"Lu You's family was very famous in the Southern Song Dynasty, how could Lu Xiufu give up saying that Lu You was his wife?" It's impossible. Lu Chunxiang said that this is the view that experts have refuted from the common sentiments of people.
"But in any case, we are clan relatives, because the ancestors of Lu Zun are Lu Tong." Lu Chunxiang said that this is a natural sense of closeness.
For modern people, what is the biggest inspiration given by Lu You?
Lu Chunxiang felt that it was for the ideal to always adhere to - "Heaven and Earth Release - Lu You's Biography" wrote Lu You's persistence, no matter where he was.
ZengJi, Zhou Bida, Xin Abandoned Disease, Fan Chengda... Lu You has a lifetime of poetry and countless poets. But eight hundred years later, Lu Chunxiang was obviously the one who knew him best.
