The Tang Dynasty had one of the most legendary female poets: the general accepted her as a concubine, the emperor accepted her as a concubine, and the great literary hero wrote a long poem for her.
This lucky woman was named Du Qiuniang, and she wrote a masterpiece called "Golden Silk Dress".
The works of female poets of the Tang Dynasty are dazzling, and only this poem by Du Qiuniang is included in the "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" and becomes the finale.
Du Qiuniang was originally from Jianzhou, which is now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. Although born in a humble background, but unique to the spirit of heaven and earth, when she was a teenager, she was delicate and charming, not only taking advantage of the beauty of Jiangnan women, but also being able to sing and dance, and even writing poems, filling in words, composing music, integrating the beauty and literary talent of Jiangnan women, as a singer and prostitute, she was popular in Jiangnan.
When she was fifteen years old, Zhenhai Jiedu made Li Kun buy her into Fuchu for a heavy fee as a song and dance prostitute. Ordinary singers and dancers learn some ready-made songs and dances and perform for the pleasure of the master; Du Qiuniang, who is careful and tall, is not willing to be buried in the hordes of song and dance ji in Li Mansion, secretly thinking to herself, waving ink, composing a song of "golden silk clothes", and singing to Li Kun at a family banquet of Li Kun.
Advise the king not to spare the golden robe,
Advise the king to take the juvenile time.
The blossoms can be folded straight and folded,
Don't wait for no flowers to fold branches.
At this time, Li Kun was more than half a hundred years old, after all, he was born as a general, and he still had an immortal sword, and when he listened to Du Qiuniang's song "Golden Silk Dress", he was in love. In his opinion, this little song is full of provocation.
Oh, yes! After fifty years, if the sun is thin, why not seize the short time and enjoy it in time? Those who know me, Du Qiu Niang also! Li Kun immediately decided to take her as a concubine.
At this time, Tang Dezong died, and Li Xuan succeeded him as Shunzong, who, due to his illness and ill condition, reigned for only eight months and gave the throne to his son Li Chun, that is, Tang Xianzong.
Tang Xianzong was young and vigorous, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he was determined to reverse the fragmentation of the domestic feudal towns, so he resorted to coercive measures in an attempt to reduce the power of the emissaries. As an envoy of Jiedu, Li Kun was greatly dissatisfied, and relied on the military power in his hands to raise an army to rebel against the imperial court, and under the suppression of the imperial army, the rebellion was quickly quelled, and Li Kun was also killed in the war. Du Qiuniang was sent to the harem as a slave as a family member of the sinner, and according to her expertise, she was still serving as a song and dance hime.
Du Qiuniang, who had a heart, took advantage of the opportunity to perform for Tang Xianzong and once again performed the "Golden Silk Dress". Tang Xianzong Li Chun was in his youth at this time, and the warm emotions in the song deeply infected him. Look at Du Qiuniang's bright and elegant, and her charm is unique among the beauties. Moreover, this song is still created by herself, and her talent is not ordinary, and she can't help but be moved. Soon, Du Qiuniang was given the title of Concubine Qiu.
After Emperor Xianzong's death, Du Qiuniang assisted three more emperors, and because he offended the eunuchs, he was stripped of his citizenship and returned to his hometown.
Later, the 31-year-old Du Mu passed through Zhenjiang, at this time Du Qiuniang had died of incense, living alone and old, the situation was miserable, he felt it and wrote "Du Qiuniang's Poem", sprinkled with more than 600 words.
A woman from a folk background can become the only female poet selected for the "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty", get the favor of the famous general, the favor of the emperor of the world, and let the great literary hero write poems for her, which is rare.
And her luck is mainly due to the song "Golden Robe".
"Advise the king not to spare the golden robe, and advise the king to spare the youth." It tells people not to covet glory and wealth, but to cherish the youth and establish merit in time. "Flowers can be folded straight and folded, and there is no need to fold branches without flowers." Advise people to "love the country and the mountains more and love the beauty", to pick the fruits of love in time, not to wait until the flowers and leaves are defeated, to sigh in vain, and to repent of their lives.
The meaning of this poem is very easy to understand, that is, "live up to the time and live up to the Qing", and its desire is simple and strong. This was originally the truth that everyone understood, and the author let the reader smell the smell of fireworks in the world through image metaphors, popular language, and gentle expressions- that is, an irresistible charm emanating from the poems, urging people to forge ahead, shaking people's hearts; touching people's hearts and souls.
