"Yanshan Pavilion , Northbound To See The Apricot Blossoms"

Song Zhao Tuo

Cut the ice silk, lightly fold several weights, and lightly add rouge evenly.

New kind of beautiful makeup, full of fragrance, shame to kill ruizhu palace girl.

Easy to wither, more much, merciless wind and rain.

Sad, ask the courtyard desolate, how many spring twilight?

By sending away hatred, how can the double swallow be, and can people speak?

The sky is far away, thousands of rivers and mountains, do you know where the Forbidden City is?

Why not think about it? Except in dreams, sometimes I have gone.

There is no evidence, and dreams are also new to not doing.

The posture of ice and snow, cutting the ice silk into clothes, lightly folding several weights, light rouge, this first blooming apricot blossom is like a jade person's new makeup, delicate and dazzling, fragrant and delicate, even the Heavenly Palace Yaochi Ruizhu Xianshu also has to sigh to herself.

Poor clouds are easy to scatter flowers and thank you, and what can be more than this merciless cold wind and cold rain? My heart was troubled, and I asked how many springs had passed through the desolate courtyard?

Can this double swallow, who travel from the south to the north, carry away my thoughts about my homeland, but how can they ever speak of people?

How can you not think about it? The sky is far away, the mountains are heavy and the waters are heavy, where is the old palace garden? Where is this parting place? Lately, I didn't even dream of one.

In 1127, the Jin army attacked the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo, and abducted Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong, harem concubines, imperial relatives and nearly 100,000 people to the north, which is the famous "shame of Jingkang". Huizong saw the blooming apricot blossoms on the road, and felt that although the apricot blossoms were high and clean, the flowers were weak and weak, and they were quickly withered under the devastation of the ruthless wind and rain. Emperor Huizong was sad and lamented his situation at this moment, just like the apricot blossoms in the wind and rain, which was being cruelly destroyed.

Emperor Huizong of Song was the most failed emperor in history and the most famous artist in the history of literature. As an emperor, he is a mediocre; as an artist, he is an all-rounder.

The "skinny gold body" of the Fairy Wind Dao Bone

Emperor Huizong of Song never wanted to be emperor before he was 18 years old, and although many people fought for this position, he only wanted to be his Duan Wang, talking to a group of calligraphers and painters, painting flowers and birds, or bowing with the kicking masters Gao Qi on the court of the Duan Wangfu. It is said that when the empress dowager's will was sent to him to be emperor, he was proud to have scored a good goal.

With such a large "pie" smashed on his head, Zhao Tuo was neither mentally prepared nor happy at all, and he became the king of a country in a vacuum. Nevertheless, Zhao Tuo, who had just ascended to the throne, worked hard for his new role and his country, and he also tried to be a good emperor, he once accepted advice and diligently practiced political affairs, and wang Fu, a commentator on the history of the early Qing Dynasty, said: "The initial government of Emperor Huizong was impressive. "It's just that her nature is difficult to move, but In her bones, Zhao Yao is still the romantic artist."

He created a unique calligraphy , the skinny gold body. The characteristics of the thin gold body are clean, minimalist, thin and strong, one horizontal and one vertical just like plum branches, standing vigorously; a stroke is like a bamboo leaf, graceful and elegant. Thin is the body rhyme, gold is the wind bone, thin gold body is like the mountain of the fairy wind Dao bone, standing in the wind, dressed in a graceful manner. And Emperor Huizong of Song believed in Taoism and called himself "Emperor Daojun", and the characters were like his people. Some French people saw the portrait of Song Huizong and marveled at how handsome and temperament the Chinese emperor was.

A painting that has never been seen in the past

In addition to calligraphy, the most famous is the painting of Emperor Huizong of Song. He is best at painting flowers and birds. Eighteen cranes, or flapping wings and flying high, or hovering low, or high houses, flocks of cranes flying, no posture is the same, only flexible and vivid, lifelike. It is said that when zoomed in, the root feathers of each crane are delicate, and the similarity with the real crane reaches 99%.

In order to strive for realism, Song Huizong always carefully observed the shape of each leaf, the posture of each bird standing on the branch, and even the posture of each small insect meandering and crawling. He said, "When a peacock ascends to a height, he will raise his left leg." ”

He established the Hanlin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, and was the only emperor to list calligraphy and painting as an examination for the imperial examination. Under his guidance, 18-year-old Wang Ximeng completed the "Map of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", the picture is magnificent and beautiful, in the distance is the vast rivers of smoke and waves, the undulating mountains; the pavilions and pavilions nearby, the hut bamboo bridge; the characters are interspersed, playing, driving boats, resting, working; birds wandering between mountains and rivers...

Part of Wang Ximeng's "Map of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"

In the history of Chinese painting, as soon as "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" came out, there was no competition, and a large-scale dance program "Only This Green" was held on the spring evening of the year of Nong Yin (2022), which once again made this famous painting "out of the circle".

Emperor Huizong of Song signed his calligraphy and paintings as: One Man under Heaven. He deserves it.

That sky blue

Legend has it that Emperor Huizong of Song had a dream, it rained in the dream, and after the rain passed, a cloud was blown away by the wind, revealing the blue of the sky, and Emperor Huizong was amazed, and he decreed that the craftsmen who made porcelain must burn out this color: "Where the rain passes and the clouds break, this color will do the future." ”

The craftsmen with great wisdom still could not imagine what kind of color this "azure color" was, until one rainy day, the craftsmen looked at the washed sky with great joy, they finally saw the color of the sky in the emperor's poem, so they tried day and night, over and over again, and finally burned the azure glaze of the Ru kiln.

Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glazed jade pot spring bottle This glaze color, crystal like jade, warm and introverted, just like the Song people's aesthetic: simple and elegant, subtle, the pursuit of rhyme, yearning for nature.

Jay Chou sang: "Azure is waiting for smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you." "The azure color after the smoke and rain is waiting for Zhao Yao of Song Huizong."

"Tea Man" Emperor

Song Huizong was also an authentic tea person, he wrote a "Tea Theory", later known as "Daguan Tea Theory", a detailed discussion of the origin of tea, tea making, tea cooking and the song Dynasty popular "fighting tea" fashion.

The Song people understand tea, love tea, and play the tea ceremony to the extreme, that is, "order tea" and "fight tea". Emperor Huizong of Song commented: "The color of tea is pure white as the truth, green and white as the second, gray and white second, yellow and white second." The heavens and the hours will be above, the manpower will be exhausted, and the tea will be pure white. He said that white tea is "the best of tea": "Its strips are explained, and its leaves are thin." Cliffs and forests are born by accident, and the cover is not caused by human beings. ”

Northern Song Dynasty Zhao Tuo"Wenhui Tu (partial) Song Huizong thought: "Tea has a real fragrance, not dragon musk can be imitated." He meant that when making tea, we must avoid other odors mixed with the tea aroma, and the real tea fragrance has its own heaven and earth aura rhyme, even the fragrance of the dragon musk is incomparable.

Emperor Huizong of Song, who was the emperor, personally ordered tea and distributed tea to his courtiers, and the tea soup he ordered was "soup flowers floating on the surface of the cup, in the shape of a sparse star and a light moon, which is extremely elegant and beautiful." ”

In tea, Song Huizong is no longer an emperor, but an old tea person who really understands tea and loves tea.

Zhao Tuo 'Tingqin Tu (Partial) As the emperor's extremely incompetent Zhao Tuo, but a perfect artist and life master, these two identities were achieved by him in the opposite direction, so he died in his country, he was also captured by the Jin people to become a slave of the country, on the way north, he sadly wrote the song "Yanshan Pavilion , Northbound To See The Apricot Blossom". This poem was placed in the first part of the opening volume of the "Three Hundred Songs of Song Ci".

In the words, "The sky is far away, thousands of rivers and mountains, do you know where the Forbidden City is?" Just like Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, "Xiao Lou had another east wind last night, and the homeland could not look back at the moon and the middle of the moon." ”;“ Why not think about it? Except in dreams, sometimes I have gone. A sentence that is exactly like Li Hou Lord's "In the dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy and happy." ”

Perhaps, Zhao Tuo and Li Yu were originally the reincarnation of a person, and Zhao Tuo's father Song Shenzong saw Li Yu's portrait before his birth and lamented that his "character is elegant and repeatedly sighed" At the time of his birth, Shenzong also dreamed of "the Lord of the Later Lord", so Zhao Tuo "had a hundred times more literary style and style than Lord Li".

The same fate, the same sorrow, as the kings of the fallen country, what else can they do?
