He was deeply influenced by the "late Tang Dynasty style", was good at the five laws, highlighted the creative spirit of bitter chanting, and the poetic styles of different themes were very different in style. His poems are most respected by later generations as landscape poems, quiet and desolate scenes, which are meaningful and evocative. Today, we will enjoy the ten poems of Kou Zhun, a famous politician and great poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, and experience the spiritual connotation of his poetry, especially the writing of scenery poems, which is a must.
Kou Zhun's original name was Kou Jiao, the surname of Kou dates back to the Western Zhou Period, his distant ancestor Su Chasheng, in the Western Zhou Wu Wang period as Si Kou, due to repeated construction of Qigong, given the official position as a surname. During the Later Jin Dynasty, his father Kou Xiang served as an official as a Taishi Shangshu Ling. The young Kou Zhun, clever and clever, was able to export chapters when he was more than ten years old, and later entered the career, known for his bold and outspoken personality, and Song Taizong admired him very much. In the zhenzong period, it built an anti-Liao dynasty, laying the foundation for the peaceful development of the Northern Song Dynasty for more than 70 years, and also became its political achievements in the annals of history.
Rhythmic poetry is very good at Kou Zhun, the poetic style is close to the late Tang Dynasty poetry school, the love is deep and clear, and it blows a fresh wind into the poetry world at that time. Among the more than 300 surviving poems, nearly 50 poems clearly show the feeling of nostalgia for his homeland, whether it is the change of festivals, the change of personnel, or the ups and downs of his career, all of which arouse his strong hometown feelings. Of course, this is a big reason for Kou Zhun's love for his homeland, in addition, the ups and downs of his life and the contradictions in his inner "career" and "seclusion" thoughts are also closely related, and there is still an inextricable relationship with his inheritance of the poetry style of the late Tang Dynasty.
In his official eunuch's life, three times to worship, three times to be degraded, life ups and downs, is really rare, so under such encounters, the inner waves and the peaceful life in his hometown before entering the world is in stark contrast, homesickness is inevitable, and finally he died in the degraded place, which is sighing. In the ups and downs of the official career, there will be a tired mentality, "hidden" thinking will become heavier and heavier, at this time thinking of the homeland has become the best way to resolve its inner contradictions. Moreover, Kou Zhun pursued the style of late Tang poetry, and most of the late Tang poetry was mainly based on writing about idle interest in the mountains and wilderness, with the ability to refine sentences, and the subject matter was relatively narrow, so missing the homeland became an important theme for writing poetry.
In his youth, Kou Zhun had a heart for the country and a lofty ambition in his heart, and his poems were full of longing for politics and disappointment. He especially admired Qu Yuan, who appeared many times in Kou Zhun's poems, praised Qu Yuan's patriotism and became an example in his heart, so that his poetry formed a spirit of turmoil. He is good at using euphemism to reflect the spirit of the wind, and the poetry reflects the euphemistic and introverted character, expressing his inner worries, and the poems are extremely evocative to read.
Kou Zhun's poems are mainly based on the themes of yonghuai, writing scenes, chants, and rewards, and nostalgia and political feelings, and the connotation is full of the essence of Confucian thought. He was deeply influenced by Confucianism from an early age, which was expressed in his poetic pursuits. His poems have always been aimed at wind and elegance, and his political career of more than forty years has always adhered to his political ideals, and his inner feelings are influenced by the hopes and disappointments of his lofty political ambitions.
Yonghuai poems occupy the vast majority, most of them are works of lamentation, and at the same time imply the understanding of political reality and the thinking of life, of course, some poems are full of homesickness and friendship. Of course, at different stages of chanting, the poet's state of mind is different. Before entering the shi, his poetry language was shallow and straight, and the artistic appeal was weak, which was the period when the poetic style gradually formed, expressing the emotions of his youth, the emotions were more direct, radical, confused, and worried.
In the middle of the Yong Huai poem, there are great fluctuations in emotions, and he has a great vision for the future, and strives to realize his lofty ambitions and ambitions. The artistic effect of Yonghuai poetry in this period is the best, introverted and subtle, deep and gentle, and the poetic style has matured. In the later period, Yonghuai poetry is a career path all the way up, and then several degrees are degraded, at this time Yonghuai poetry emotional ups and downs, mood is high-pitched, there are also depression, individual poems show the poet's calm and unhurried temperament, the artistic value is higher.
Since Kou Zhun's footprints spread throughout most of China, he left behind more than 50 poems to write scenery, and he is most praised for writing scenery poems. Because of the encounter of three political strikes, his mood was relatively low and desolate, so most of his scene poems were mainly cold scenes, showing the poet's lonely and lonely mood.
Autumn is the most described and best of Kou Zhun. The autumn depression can most arouse the feeling of the poet's soul, the beauty of the Huangshan Mountains, the decadent scenery, looking in the eyes, hurting in the heart, boundless nostalgia and loneliness, so that its sad emotions rise and fall one after another. After careful tasting, so that readers can feel empathy, and at the same time let readers feel compassion, his landscape poems are extremely important works in the history of mainland poetry.
Today, we will enjoy the ten poems of the great poet Kou Zhun during the Northern Song Dynasty, and experience the spiritual connotation of poetry, especially the writing of scenery poems, which are worth savoring.
