"Autumn Words" Tang Liu Yuxi

"Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I have said that autumn is better than spring.

A crane in the clear sky lined up on the clouds, and it led the poetry to the blue sky. ”

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there was such a reform that lasted only 146 days, that is, it was suspended, which was called "Yongzhen Reform" in history. This unsuccessful innovation changed the fate of many people, and the poet Liu Yuxi was one of them.

Speaking of Liu Yuxi, the most widely known is the "Buried Chamber Inscription", "The mountain is not high, there are immortals are named, the water is not deep, there is a dragon is the spirit..." This short article was written around 825, at this time, Liu Yuxi, has been relegated to the outside for 19 years due to various factors such as the failure of innovation.

19 years, from the wind is flourishing, to the two sideburns to see white. At that time, Liu Yuxi, like a leather ball, was transferred from the south to the north, and no matter where he went, he was treated as the object of supervision. In Anhui and Zhou, he was deliberately targeted by the local Zhixian County, forced to move three times in a row, the living house changed from three to a bucket room that only allowed "one table, one chair, one bed", and specially moved a large stone to put in front of his door...

Liu Yuxi, shouting "good stone", decided to write a short article to engrave on it, and then we saw this "Buried Room Inscription" that has been circulating for thousands of years. The whole text is 79 words, have you ever seen the slightest bit of depression? That self-confidence, calmness, grandeur, heroism and stubbornness, penetrate the millennium, inspire exuberance, warm people's hearts. It can be seen that this Liu Yuxi is such an extraordinary person.

Liu Yuxi was born in 772 AD, in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, to a family of scholars. If you want to talk about his ancestors, you have to talk about the Western Han Dynasty "Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan Jing", and he and Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms can also climb the ladder. To say that the ancestral home should be Luoyang, Henan, but later in the Tang Dynasty", during the "Anshi Rebellion", his father moved his family south and settled in Jiaxing.

In his youth, Liu Yuxi was intelligent and diligent, and dabbled in a wide range of subjects. In the 9th year of the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 793, Liu Yuxi entered the high school, and liu Zongyuan was also famous with him. This year, he was only 22 years old, and Liu Zongyuan was a year younger than him.

During the Tang Dynasty, the admission rate of jinshi was very low, with no more than 20 or 30 people per subject. In the 289 years before and after the Tang Dynasty, there were 226 times in the Jinshi Section, and the total number of admissions, but 6680 people were up and down, and there were less than 30 people per subject. Fifty young soldiers" statement, which shows the difficulty. Bai Juyi, who was born in the same year as Liu Yuxi, became a jinshi in the middle of the 16th year of Zhenyuan and proudly wrote, "At the inscription under the Ci'en Pagoda, the youngest of the seventeen people", indicating that only 17 people were admitted that year, and he was 29 years old in high school, the youngest in the same list, and his pride was overflowing with words. Speaking of which, Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan were young and had horseshoe disease, which can be imagined.

Shortly thereafter, Liu Yuxi returned home to "Ding You" because of the death of his father. Around 800 AD, he served as an aide to Du You for several years under du you in Huainan Jiedu. After 802, after several transfers, Liu Yuxi was promoted to Yushitai and became friends with Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu, who was also the overseer of Yushi. The three of them were like-minded, talking about the world, playing chess, painting, poetry, and hops, and spent the most comfortable and happy period of their lives.

During this time, Liu Yuxi's talent is needless to say, and his ability to manage politics has gradually become known and appreciated. Wang Shuwen, who was originally a "prince's palace attendant", was particularly important to him under contact, so together with Liu Zongyuan, he naturally became the ruling team after the crown prince ascended the throne in 805, and then launched a vigorous "Yongzhen Reform".

Objectively speaking, this "Yongzhen innovation" in the middle and late Tang Dynasty had many "innate deficiencies". His biggest drawback was that he was "too hasty"; Tang Shunzong, who had actually been in a state of "stroke" and semi-paralysis before and after taking the throne, did not have enough energy and ability to pave the way for this innovation, which should have been operated by him, a series of personnel transfers, the division of the clan towns, and the gradual control of military power.

Under the circumstance that the imperial power was always unable to come forward and operate forcefully, the pressure from the major interest groups of the feudal towns, bureaucrats, and eunuchs at that time was all pressed on several core officials, including Liu Yuxi, who presided over the innovation, and this was obviously something they could not bear.

Later history books, for this period, Wang Shuwen, Liu Yuxi and other arrogant descriptions, in fact, a large reason, is precisely from this. In the absence of imperial power, Tang Shunzong expressed spiritual support, and he wanted to carry out innovation, but did not he show that a few of their core officials were talking to themselves? Ability may be there, I do not doubt their good intentions, experience is still insufficient.

The result of the failure of the reform was tragic, and Tang Shunzong was forced to abdicate, and he died of depression the following year. The core officials who promoted innovation were all sent to poor and remote areas to serve as "Sima " with no real position, supervising their use, known in history as "Eight Simas". Among them, Wang Shuwen was even executed additionally. This year, Liu Yuxi was 34 years old.

At the same time, in the "Eight Simas" released, Liu Zongyuan, who was born in the "Hedong Liu Clan", was relatively delicate and sensitive, and he was a bit sentimental and sad, and sighed long and short. Liu Yuxi, to say that there is no sense of loss, it is impossible, after all, his life was smooth before, but he quickly adjusted it, and also wrote a poem to encourage Liu Zongyuan, that is, the "Autumn Words" we saw at the beginning.

"A crane in the clear sky on the clouds, it leads the poetry to The Blue Sky", it is difficult to describe, when I saw this poem, I was excited when I thought of his creative background, only the part of the sigh, I really want to say, Liu Yuxi, let's be friends. Although I am also too ordinary...

In 815 AD, that is, the "9th year of Yuan He", this is the time of Tang Xianzong, and the "Eight Simas" who were released were recalled to the capital. Then, 2 years later, a famous Liu Yuxi "Xuandu Guan Tihua" incident, these people were once again expelled and demoted to other places.

"Yuan He 10 years, summoned from Langzhou to Beijing, the play is given to see the flowers of the gentlemen" Tang Liu Yuxi

"Purple and red dust came to the face, and no one looked at the flowers back."

The peach trees in the Xuandu Temple were all planted after Liu Lang went there. ”

It is said that this time he was degraded because of Liu Yuxi's "indiscipline", to say that in his poem, is there anything else to say, implying that he was in a high position of power at that time, and those who are now in power were all under him? That is definitely there, but as the word "drama" in the title says, it is just a joke, a shake of wit. How can a court fight change course because of a poem, but it is just an excuse.

Later generations, mostly accusing Liu Yuxi of this poem, not only underestimated him, but also lacked understanding of the court atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty. Han Yu I will not say, a few of his articles, to stir up the emperor, that is not at all left with affection, let's say that a little earlier than their Du Fu, a poem "Drama for the Six Absolute Sentences", "Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, do not waste the rivers and rivers of eternity", that is much more intense than Liu Yuxi's song, and I have not seen how he is treated.

In fact, from the very beginning, they were recalled because of the factors of the Xian Tang Sect balancing the power structure at that time. It was only under the chain reaction that followed, Liu Yuxi and other cadres became victims again.

This time, Liu Yuxi was originally arranged to the most arduous "Bozhou" area, and later through the efforts of many colleagues and friends, it was changed to "Lianzhou" in Guangdong, and there is also a section, Liu Zongyuan fought for his friends, and the touching story of life and death is not afraid, which will be said later.

Five years of "Lianzhou", followed by Kuizhou, that is, now Fengjie, Sichuan, the cold and warm of the world, the harsh living environment, quietly, is also changing Liu Yuxi.

"Waves and Sands, Eight" Tang Liu Yuxi

"Mo Dao's rumors are as deep as the waves, and Mo Yan's migration is like sand.

Although it is hard work, blowing out the wild sand begins to reach gold."

Compared with the slightly frivolous "Autumn Words", this one has changed its artistic conception, more calm, majestic, and experienced over the years, but that pride, stubbornness, and that in Liu Yuxi's poetry, the unique, rushing vitality has always remained unchanged.

It was not until 826, when the emperor changed two more terms, that Liu Yuxi was transferred back to Luoyang and made an idle post, and it had been 23 years since he was first demoted from Beijing. On the way back, Yangzhou met Bai Juyi, who had also experienced the ups and downs of the eunuch sea, although the two had different political views, but there was no problem in personal relations. Bai Juyi wrote a poem lamenting his situation during the banquet, "It is known that the name of the union is folded, and the twenty-three years are too much", sighing and sighing, overflowing with words.

"Reward Lotte Yangzhou First Meeting on the Table" Tang Liu Yuxi

"Bashan Chushui was desolate, abandoned for twenty-three years.

Nostalgic empty chanting flute fu, to the countryside to turn like rotten Ke people.

Thousands of sails passed on the side of the sinking boat, and the sick tree was in front of wanmu spring.

Listen to a song today, and temporarily rely on the spirit of a cup of wine. ”

This singing poem with Bai Juyi, the whole mood is ups and downs, and the true feelings are revealed in it, which can not only reflect Liu Yuxi's personal true disposition, but also see his sincere friendship with Bai Juyi, and more heroic feelings are as open-minded as ever.

Among them, "the poor mountains and bad waters have been degraded for 23 years, and now the white hair has returned to their hometown, and most of their relatives and friends have died. In 23 years, he Liu Yuxi is not a stone, empty of the world's name, from young and crazy to now two sideburns, half a life, how can there be no sentimentality.

The sentence "Shen Zhou, Sick Tree" is not only a response to Bai Juyi's poem "Raising your eyes to the scenery for a long time, and the official positions of the Manchu Dynasty are alone", sighing Compared with Liu Yuxi's contemporaries, the juniors are all high-ranking officials, only his unsatisfactory response, thinking that this is the norm of life, do not mind, but also means that the past is all over, and the great scenery is only in front of him. What it contains is the open-mindedness after the ups and downs of the world, the open-mindedness after the insight into the fire, the optimistic attitude towards life encounters, and the reasoning after deep understanding, compared with the sentence "blowing out the wild sand", the realm is better, which is admirable.

The last sentence, even if it is a thank you, can also be seen that although they are friends, compared with Liu Zongyuan's friendship, Bai Juyi is still separated by a layer here in Liu Yuxi. The following year, in 827, Liu Yuxi was transferred back to the Beijing Division again, and then there was this one, "Revisiting the Xuandu Temple" Tang Liu Yuxi

"Half of the hundred acres of garden is moss, and the peach blossoms are pure and cauliflower."

Where the Tao Daoist returned, Liu Lang came again. ”

No two words, just one sentence, "I'm back again"! That poem at that time set off an uproar, and now things are human, and my old Liu, standing here again today, I wrote a poem again...

This year, Liu Yuxi is 56 years old, and the stubbornness and pride buried deep in his bones still do not change, the firmness of his heart, still like the original teenager, the so-called original intention does not change, I think it is just like this.

In his later years, Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi sang and sang many poems to each other. Among them, Bai Juyi once felt that he was sick and tired of old age, and his mood was a little depressed. Liu Yuxi wrote a poem to exhort

"Reward Lotte Yong Old See" Tang Liu Yuxi

"Whoever cares about the old, who grows old has pity."

The thin body is reduced frequently, and the hair is thin and the crown is self-biased.

Waste books cherish the eyes, and more moxibustion is with the years.

He is also familiar with things, and reading people is like reading chuan.

After careful consideration, it is fortunate to be here.

Mordaunt Sang Yu evening, for Xia still full of heaven. ”

翛然, 翛字讀萧, uninhibited, detached meaning. The first 3 sentences of the whole poem do not shy away from the sorrow of old age and illness, and to the 4th sentence, the old also has the benefits of old age. Sentence 5 immediately follows the previous sentence, how can it be so if you are not old, this is life, there are gains and losses. The 6th sentence of Hua Cai concludes with the end, "Mo Dao Sang Yu is late, for Xia Shang is full of heaven."

People live for a lifetime, as long as their hearts do not change, everywhere is wonderful. If you say that you are not satisfied, how long can you be comfortable and happy in this life? From the emperor to the general, down to the pawn of the peddler, each has its own joy and sorrow, and the body cannot help itself, this is the original way of life. We can't decide the course of life, but at least we can determine our mentality, so that every moment of our life is full and warm, warming others and illuminating ourselves.

In 842 AD, Liu Yuxi died of illness in Luoyang, after his ups and downs, ups and downs, and from beginning to end, a strong and indomitable life, at the age of 71.
