Peach blossoms remind me of Liu Yuxi
Li Hongjian
It is the spring of the annual peach blossoms, and the overlapping peach blossoms remind me of Liu Yuxi.
Liu Yuxi (772-842), also spelled Mengde, was a native of Luoyang, Tang Dynasty. Born in Xiang Mendi, fine ancient Chinese, good at writing poetry, famous for a while.
In the ninth year of Emperor Dezong of Tang,Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were in the same department as Jinshi and Di. In the sixteenth year of the Zhenyuan Dynasty, he was recruited into the capital by the Huainan Jiedu envoy to the shogunate, and the official worshiped to supervise the imperial history, and had a deep friendship with the official Lang Zhongwei. In the last year of the Zhenyuan Dynasty, Wang Shuwen used exclusive power in the Eastern Palace, and many latecomers competed to climb. Liu Yuxi was particularly important to Wang Shuwen, believing that he would definitely become a talent for the prime minister in the future. After Tang Shunzong ascended the throne, he was unable to manage the government due to a long-term illness, and the palace Chinese were all from the hands of Wang Shuwen, and his power was very hot. Wang Shuwen also brought Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan, and others into the palace to discuss political affairs with them. Soon, Liu Yuxi was promoted to tuntian member wailang, in charge of the power of zhidu salt and iron, and also served as the judge of Chongling in Dezhou. However, after Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan entered the palace, they used their power to do much harm to the ministers of the dynasty, laying hidden dangers for him to write peach blossom poems in the future. There was a gap between Liu Zongyuan and Wu Yuanheng, the imperial master, and Yuanheng was thus demoted to the right son. Yu Shi dou played Liu Yuxi for evil and was deposed on the same day. Shang Shu's right hand man Han Gao had a confrontation with Wang Shuwen and was appointed as an observer of Hunan. This kind of behavior of theirs made the people of Jingshi dare to be angry but did not dare to speak, and the road was blind, and they were called "Liu Liu, the Second King"!
In the first year of Yongzhen, the Juwenzhen eunuch clique supported Tang Xianzong to take the throne, Wang Shuwen and Wang Pi were demoted to death, and Liu Yuxi was demoted to Sima of Langzhou. In anger, Tang Xianzong issued an edict against the "Second King Liu Liu" and pardoned them. However, most of the ruling prime ministers cherished their talents and planned to wash away their sins and gradually use them. However, due to the fact that Liu Yuxi had made too many enemies, the officials vigorously opposed it and did not stop.
In the fifteenth year of Emperor Xianzong's reign, Liu Yuxi summoned the Jingshi from Langzhou. The chancellors intended to make him an official of Shangshu Province. This season is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in March. He wandered around the Xuandu Temple of Chang'an Chongyefang and wrote a poem "Drama Gift to See the Gentlemen of Flowers" poem Yun:
Purple and red dust blowing on the face,
No one can look at the flowers back.
Xuandu Temple,
All Liu Lang planted after he went.
"Liu Lang went to plant after he went", doesn't it mean that these new people were only promoted after Liu Yuxi left? Because of his sarcasm, he offended the ruling government and was relegated to the history of the state assassination. After the edict was promulgated, Yu Shizhong said that "Yu Xi has more than eighty mothers, and there are few people in Bozhou, and although Yu Xi deserves to be degraded, his mother cannot go with him, and this should become a parting feeling between mother and son, and I am afraid that it will hurt His Majesty's filial piety." Please bend the law and move slightly closer to place it." Liu Zongyuan also asked to exchange the depreciation of Liu Prefecture with the depreciation of Yu Xi, and Emperor Xianzong changed it to Lianzhou.
Fourteen years later, in the second year of Emperor Wenzong of Tang's reign, Liu Yuxi was again admitted from Hezhou to the lord of Kelang. At this time, it was the season of March in the spring of the curtain, and he remembered xuandu to see the peach blossoms, and he had the intention to revisit it. When I got there, I knew that the Taoist who planted the peach was dead, and the peach blossoms in the temple were unattended, some were cut down, some died, and the ground was full of oatmeal wild sunflowers, and it was desolate. He remembered the grand scene of the peach blossoms in those years, and then remembered some of the magnates who had struck him in the past, stepping down from the struggle one by one, and he was still stubbornly alive, and he wrote a poem "Revisiting xuanduguan", shiyun:
The hundred acres of atrium are half moss,
Peach blossoms are in full bloom.
Where does the peach cultivator belong,
Former Liu Lang is here again.
Liu Yuxi wrote in the preface to the poem: "Yu Zhenyuan was a Shangshu Tuntian member of the Outer Lang for twenty-one years, and at this time there were peach blossoms at the end of the guanzhong, and he was born in Mulian Prefecture and looked for Sima of Lang Prefecture. In the tenth year of the reign of the Beijing Master, everyone said that there were Taoist hands to plant peach red full view, such as Shuo Chenxia, so there were poems to zhi for a while. He lived for four years and had to be in the Lord's guest house. Revisiting the Ziguan, there is no tree, only wild sunflower oats, shaken by the spring wind, because of the twenty-eight words again, to swim after the anecdote. "After the poem came out, people praised his poem more and thinned it!
Liu Yuxi's political enemies, reading his new poems, thought he complained and were extremely dissatisfied, and said a lot of bad things about him to Emperor Wenzong. After three years, he was sent to the field as an assassin. Liu Yuxi's life was so upside down and displaced...
Throughout Liu Yuxi's life, he was a teenager who won the first ambition, close to everything, and then lived in his own spiritual world after being degraded. When the court used him, he did not know how to converge, and he used peach blossoms to chant zhi, and his tongue was fast. The content of the two poems expresses him: fighting with the heavens, its joy is endless; fighting with the earth, its pleasure is endless; fighting with people, its joy is endless... Eventually he fell, just the annual peach blossoms, still blooming...
The past is like the wind, fading away. Friend, if you can realize from Liu Yuxi that "in the long river of life, we can achieve harmony, calmness, generosity, forgiveness, and tolerance, how important it is to our life path", we look at each other from each other, and we will have something to gain by smiling...
