Text/Nine Princes' Latte
The Tang Dynasty, the early prosperity of ruiqi and the poetry and painting, was an era of highly prolific poets, and Wen Tingjun was a glimmer of light that illuminated the years of countless people.
If there is no echo of the times, who treats wine as a song and wields ancient feelings? And who is alone in the window and pouring out all kinds of emotions? Looking for the wind, he propped up a long pen to roam in the poetry river, and went to explore the bamboo leaves of the boy in the flower.
Strangers who are young and full of wind
——Datang's first "gunner"
Wen Tingjun, formerly known as Qi, was born in 812 in Taiyuan, Shanxi.
Talking about his lineage, it is not ordinary, he is the grandson of Wen Yanbo, the prime minister of Tang Taizong.
Although his family fell in the middle of the road, he still grew up in the fragrance of books, and since he was a child, he has shown a talent for reading and etiquette. According to the "Biography of Tang Caizi": "(Ting Yun) is less sensitive and enlightened, a genius and a man, and can write into ten thousand words." ”
When he was eight years old, his happy and carefree childhood ushered in the first hurdle of his life, and his father, who taught him every day, passed away. Since then, Wen Tingjun has been dependent on his mother for his life, and this has inspired him to study harder and harder.
Every day, he studied the mysteries of the scrolls in the garden, and on weekdays, he "played when there was a string, and blew when there was a hole." Talented and diligent, he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, and became a well-known talent.

Wen Tingjun can become a poem with a stroke of a pen, and has won two names in the jianghu: one is "Wen Zhongkui", according to legend, Wen Tingjun looks strange and ugly, resembling Zhong Kui, but this still can't stop countless beautiful singers from introducing him as a confidant; the second is "Wen Eight Forks", named after his brilliant mind, work in Small Fu, every time he enters the test, the official rhymes and is endowed, and it only takes eight forks to make poetry.
Although he does not have a handsome face, it still does not affect his unique personality charm. After all, the appearance in front of talent is just the icing on the cake, even if there is no flower? After all, Wen Tingjun's wonderful pen can produce flowers.
Due to the relationship between famous and noble, Wen Tingjun made many "Five Tombs Teenagers" in Chang'an, and in the pavilion loft of Pingkang Fang, he often saw their debauched figures.
Later, Wen Tingjun became famous for such a moving poem as "Linglong Dice An Hong bean, I don't know it in my bones", and I befriended Prince Zhuang Ke and became a prince to accompany him, which can be described as a good prospect.
Wen Tingjun originally thought that with the "patron" of the prince, he would be able to spend time in his career. But unexpectedly, the life in the wine of the two people singing every day became a thunder on Wen Tingjun's path.
Soon after, some people in the court impeached the prince for only pleasure and suggested that the prince be abolished. The emperor was furious and imprisoned Prince Zhuang Ke in the palace. Prince Zhuang Ke suffered this great change, and was depressed all the time, and later died of grief.
Because Wen Tingjun had been too close to the prince before, coupled with the freedom of life, his reputation was getting worse and worse.
Although Wen Tingjun was born with a dashing nature, he still could not give up the idea of entering the world and making meritorious achievements, and began a long and endless road of imperial examination since the age of 27. In the official field of the Tang Dynasty, where "morality" was valued, his full talent failed to knock on the door of the keju career, and he repeatedly failed to do so, becoming a "nail household" of the keju.
As a result, Wen Tingjun began to "break the jar and break the broken", holding the idea that "since he could not realize his ambitions in the examination room, it was better to give his talents to others", and he never returned on the way to the examination, and even in the case that the examiner arranged him in the forefront and set up another curtain, he could also help the eight people to conduct scientific examinations, which made many people's careers and also achieved his title of "the world's first gunner".
It is gold that always shines. Finally, when Wen Tingjun was over fifty years old, he met "Bo Le", and Xiangyang Jiedu made Xu Shang appreciate his talent and asked him to be an aide.
However, in the late Tang Dynasty, official corruption was the norm, and cynical and upright people like Wen Tingjun could not smooth out the edges and corners to cater to the secular elite. He did not know how to be vain and condescending in the official field, and could only become an outcast, and his career was sloppy in his life, and he only served as a sesame petty official a few times.
Wen Tingjun's "Chicken Sound Maodian Moon, Human Footprint Banqiao Frost" on the way to Xiangyang recounts his life with Frost - after all, he is just a lonely passerby.
Wen Tingjun's affectionate, arrogant and arrogant personality doomed him to not be able to achieve high in his career, but he never stopped fighting, leaving posterity not only his "side lyrics and beautiful songs", but also the iron bones of Zhengzheng as a playmaker.
I was not born, I was born and I am old
- Sir and me
According to legend, there is a little girl doll on the side of Chang'an City, called Yu Youwei, "sexual intelligence, talent, good reading, especially work poetry", known as "poetry boy" in Chang'an City.
"Little girl, in the lower Part of the Wen Tingjun, I ventured to come just to see the girl's poetic style."
"You are Mr. Wen Feiqing, who is talented in the capital?" You Wei had seen Mr. FeiQing and asked Mr. Feiqing for advice. ”
"On the way I came, it was when the willows were flying in the sky, so why not write a poem with the title of the three characters of the willow by the river?"
"How hard is that?"
The green color is even deserted, and the smoke is in the far building.
Shadow shop spring water surface, flowers fall fishing for people's heads.
Root old Tibetan fish cave, the bottom of the branch is a passenger boat.
Xiao Xiao's stormy night, the horror of the dream added to the sorrow.
The two met for the first time with Liu, and a poem made Wen Tingjun recognize Yu Youwei's poetic talent, and then he adopted the ten-year-old as a student.
In the long-term relationship, Wen Tingjun planted a green garden in the wasteland of Yu Youwei's soul, and the two were also teachers and friends, and Youwei gradually developed feelings for him.
When she was in a different place, Yu Youwei repeatedly cultivated books and sent her worries in her heart, "Where the sycamore is inhabited, the twilight bird chirps around the forest" and "the poetry is singing under the lamp, and the long night is afraid of cold.".
The beauty is waiting to be released, and the talent is dying. When they met again, Yu Youwei was fourteen years old, with a beautiful face, full of poetry and books, blurting out pearls and jade, becoming one of the four talented women of the Tang Dynasty.

The infatuated Yu Youwei confessed his heart to Wen Tingjun, but Wen Tingjun was more than fifty years old at this time, the elder Yu Wei was thirty-two years old, and confined to secular etiquette, he finally felt that this matter was not a gentleman's act, and he could not bear to insult Yu Youwei. Later, he used his official position to avoid the entanglement of this emotion, and introduced Youwei to Li Yi.
Wen Tingjun originally thought that in this way, Yu Youwei could have a life without worry, but he did not want to entrust non-people, and it was this step that made Yu Youwei's life have a different result.
Soon after Yu Youwei married Li Yi as a concubine, li Yizheng was not allowed to marry, and Li Yi gave Yu Youwei a letter of resignation for the sake of her future and sent it to Xianyiguan.
Yu Youwei was discouraged and changed her name to "Xuanji", and it was also at this time that she wrote down the sentence "Easy to ask for priceless treasures, it is rare to have a heart". She posted a notice at the door of her Taoist temple that reads "Yu Xuan Ji Poetry Waiting for Teaching", challenging the world and inviting talented and courageous men from all over the world. For a time, her Taoist temple was full of celebrity scribes from Chang'an, who were drinking tea and discussing taoism, cooking wine and talking about their hearts, and exchanging poetry in the company of Yu Xuanji.
Later, Yu Xuanji was arrested and imprisoned for killing his maid for jealousy, and was sentenced to death at the age of 27. For her death, the Northern Dream Trivia records only one sentence: "He actually killed the maid for Jing Yin Wenzhang." ”
Wen Tingjun, who was thousands of miles away, was heartbroken after hearing this news. I don't know if if it is a repeat, Wen Tingjun will let go of the worldly prejudices and accompany Yu Youwei for the rest of his life.
In Yu Youwei's view, Wen Tingjun was the snow on the top of the mountain, the bright moon in the clouds, and she couldn't touch it. Her life is only to pursue a heart, and dare to break through the world's confinement; and although Wen Tingjun writes about the love affair in the poems, she is just a person who is tied hands and feet when facing feelings.
Everyone reads the flowers, and recites warm words for a long time
——The originator of the Flower Word School
"The mountain moon does not know what is in mind, the water and wind are empty in front of the flowers, and the blue clouds are swaying." Wen Tingjun, who loves a white dress, always loves to lean against the window, sometimes blowing a lyrical flute song, sometimes drinking a glass of wine, and sometimes giving an affectionate poem.
Bai Juyi once said, "All things are removed, and only wine and poetry remain." And Wen Tingjun is just such a wine immortal, in his opinion, the wine hides everything, a pot of wine under the belly, the inspiration for creation is like a spring.
Wen Tingjun is proficient in musical rhythm and works in poetry. The writing is on a par with Li Shangyin and Duan Chengshi, and all three are ranked sixteen, so they are collectively called "thirty-six body" poems. He was on a par with Li Shangyin, then known as "Wen Li", and his poetry was gorgeous and exquisite.
It was an early morning when the autumn breeze was blowing, the yellow leaves were drifting, and Wen Tingjun stood in a desolate ancient castle, sending friends here far away. After the two said goodbye, watching the lonely boat of his friends drift away, the desolate state of mind aroused his idea of poetry, and a poem "Sending People to the East" was formed.
The yellow leaves fell in the wilderness, and the grandeur left the past.
Gaofeng Hanyang Ferry, Churi Yingmen Mountain.
Several people on the river are there, and the end of the world is still lonely.
When he saw each other again, he was relieved to drink and leave his face.
This poem is autumn without sorrow, and farewell is not hurt. In the poem, a little bit of the desolate atmosphere of late autumn, he wields a large stroke of the pen, outlining the mountains and rivers and the sails, which is his expectation for his friends and what he thinks of in his life. He seems to be a drunken dream of a game life, and all he wants in his life is to make a contribution.

"The country is unfortunate that the poet is fortunate, and he has been given a convenient work in the vicissitudes of the sentence." Wen Tingjun was not recognized in his career, and fate doubled his compensation from literature. The "Huajian Collection" compiled by Zhao Chongzuo of the Later Shu Dynasty opened with his sixty-six poems, and the first genre in the history of Chinese words, the "Huajian School", was born, and he also became the originator of the Huajian School.
Wen Tingjun was the first literati to specialize in filling in words, making words a formal literary genre. His words are mostly written before and after the moon, with lustful feelings, exquisite conception, subtle language, soft and gorgeous words, heavy makeup, full of fat powder fragrance, unique in art, bringing infinite associations of beauty and emotion to future readers.
The Qing Dynasty's "Word Selection Sequence" commented on Wen Tingjun as follows: "The word of the Tang Dynasty, Wen Tingjun is the highest, and his words are deep and beautiful. The literati of the Ming Dynasty even set off a warm word fever, and even appeared in the grand scene of "everyone reading flowers and reciting Wen poems for a long time".
In 2011, "The Biography of Zhen Huan" was a hit, and Wen Tingjun's "Bodhisattva Man" became an interlude, singing in the streets and alleys, intoxicating countless audiences:
The hills overlap the golden ming extinction, and the sideburns want to burn the snow. Lazy to draw moth eyebrows, make up and wash late.
Look at the front and back mirrors of the flowers, and the flower surfaces are mirrored. New post embroidered grosgrain, double golden partridge.
After thousands of years, this masterpiece of flowers and words is still full of charm.
Many things in ancient and modern times are paid to the bottle of wine
——The happy life of cruising mountains and rivers
Everyone in the world lamented that Wen Lang had never met in his life, but the flow in front of his bottle of wine was not another happy life. In the history of Chinese poetry, the world will always prepare a pot of wine for the boy to sing out of the style!
Throughout his life, Wen Tingjun was full of ambition, often going in and out of the text, cruising between mountains and rivers. As a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, who has entered Shu twice and lived for a long time in Chang'an and Xiangyang, which are known as the cultural capitals, the Yellow River and Yangtze River cultural veins have given birth to this prodigious talent, and he has also added color to the mountains and rivers with the pen and ink in his hand, and has dripped into his own painstaking efforts for the continuation of the Chinese cultural context.
He has traveled all over the country and the mountains, and he has long been accustomed to the changes of the years, and the happiest thing in life is to have a drink with friends. In his pen, parting with friends is "drinking and night to say goodbye to Huaiyin City, a song of high-rise buildings in the moonlight", and the frustration of life is "from now on, drunk and full, there is no more dirt on the car." In his opinion, there are many things hidden in the wine, ancient and modern, but put into this bottle of wine.
Wen Tingjun, who had entered Shu twice, accompanied by the Shudi fine wine "Heavy Bi Wine", admired the landscape and water and created a literary masterpiece famous throughout the ages. Nowadays, this bottle of fine wine, with the leisurely vein, slowly flows, spanning thousands of years, has become a national brand "Wuliangye", infiltrated with the charm of Chinese culture.

From the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu praised the "heavy bi wine" with the good sentence of "heavy bi nian spring wine, light red lychee", to the Northern Song Dynasty poet Huang Ting's "Yao Zi Xuequ", and then to the "miscellaneous grain wine" that entered the homes of ordinary people in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wuliangye carries China's heavy cultural heritage, the wine taste is mellow and long, and countless literati are drunk. A pot in the body, can gallop on the battlefield, dance the sword in the rivers and lakes, and cultivate in emotions. This cup is rich and mellow, drinking is feelings, tasting memories, tasting culture.
Life is short, a thousand sails are over, it is better to drink a cup, just like Wen Tingjun's life is dashing and uninhibited, tasting life in the taste of wine, and writing all the red dust things in the words.
