The picture is from "Spring Feast" The material is from "The Biography of Tang Caizi"
"Biography of Tang Caizi" consists of ten volumes, the author Xin Wenfang, the history of character Liang, the people of the Western Regions. The book preserves a large number of biographical materials of tang dynasty poets, and the account of his experience in the imperial examination is more detailed. Later, there were comments on the gains and losses of the poet's art, and there were many old Tang sayings, which were quite insightful. However, there are many inaccuracies and fallacies in the statements.
01
Wang Ji, a native of Longmen, Shanxi, was a filial piety and high priest at the end of the Sui Dynasty, except for the secretary orthography of the history of the orthography.
However, he did not like to be an official in the dynasty, resigned on the grounds of illness, and later granted the title of Liuhe County of Yangzhou, and was impeached for alcoholism.
At that time, the world was not peaceful, Wang Ji sighed and said, everywhere is a net, where there is a place of labor and capital, once again on the grounds of illness, light boat night, back to his hometown.
In Tang Wude, Wang Ji was a former imperial official waiting for the edict (waiting for the edict) to go down to the province, and his brother asked him, is it possible to wait for the edict Coke?
This means that you were called an official in the imperial court before, and you are not done, but now you are told to be relished, and you are not cheap.
Wang Ji said that although he did not have much money and his life was bleak, there were three liters of fine wine, which was barely worthy of nostalgia.
Chen Shuda, the waiter, knew that he was addicted to alcohol, and after learning of the situation, he said that three liters of fine wine were not enough to keep Mr. Wang, and specially approved to provide him with a bucket of wine every day.
How much can Wang Ji drink? It is said that you can drink five buckets in one breath.
He wrote the autobiographical biography of Mr. Wudou.
He also wrote a volume of the "Wine Classic" and a volume of "Wine Recipe", which shows that he really loves wine.
At the beginning of zhenguan, Wang Ji returned from illness and became a hermit, taking a few slaves, planting wine, raising geese and ducks, digging herbs, and being self-sufficient.
When he read the book, even if he asked for a meeting, he did not want to see him.
"Biography of Tang Caizi": Achievement, word no merit, Daizhou Longmen people... Unhappy in the dynasty, resigned, and re-awarded Yangzhou Liuhe County. Obstructing the government with alcoholism, the world is also in chaos, so the sick wind, light boat night. Sigh: "Snare in the sky, I will be safe!" "It is to return to the homeland... Jiang Guogong's hearing said: "Three liters of good brew is not enough to trip Mr. Wang." "...
The Wang family is a family family, and his brother Wang Tong, that is, Wang Bo's grandfather, is a big intellectual.
There are thousands of disciples under the door, known as Wang Confucius.
The students taught were Xue Shuo, Wen Yanbo, Du Yan... They were all ministers of Emperor Taizong of Tang.
It is said that wei zheng and Fang Xuanling were also taught under his name, and they were not disciples but also friends.
And Wang Ji grew up under the influence of his brother, and he certainly didn't want to be an alcoholic like Liu Ling at the beginning.
Wang Ji: I really don't want to be a hermit!

Cui Xinming, a native of Qingzhou, Shandong, has been intelligent since childhood and has a strong memory.
In the Great Cause of Sui, Cui Xinming was the Commander of Yaocheng.
When Dou Jiande revolted, his brother joined the rebel army and persuaded him to join it, saying that he could become a high official.
Cui Xinming resolutely refused to agree, and went over the city and lived in seclusion in the Taihang Mountains.
Cui Xinming is a lonely and arrogant person, thinking that he is not worthy, and the article is unparalleled in contemporary times, better than Li Baiyao (a minister, historian, and poet in the Sui and Tang dynasties), and is quite ridiculed by the world.
Yangzhou Recorder joined the army Zheng Shiyi, and is also a proud lord.
When two arrogant things come together, they will definitely spark different sparks.
Once, the two met in the middle of the river.
Zheng Shiyi said to Cui Xinming, I heard that you have the sentence "Maple Fall Wu Jiang Leng", and I hope to read your other masterpieces.
Cui Xinming was of course very happy to meet Zhiyin in the river, and gladly took out more than a hundred works and asked the other party to "teach without hesitation.".
Who knew that Zheng Shiyi did not finish reading it, he said, what he saw was not as good as what he heard, generally, after saying that, he threw Cui Xinming's poetry manuscripts into the water and led the boat away.
"Biography of Tang Caizi": Xinming, a native of Qingzhou. Less Yingmin, and long, strong memories, beautiful articles... When there was a Yangzhou recorder joining the army Xingyang Zheng Shiyi, also a coward, met the letter ming in the middle of the river, said: "Wen Jun has a sentence of maple falling into the river, still willing to see the rest." "Shinmei is happy to have more of the old system. Zheng Lan did not finish, he said: "What you see is not what you hear!" "Throw yourself into the water and lead the boat away." Now there are only a few of his poems.
03
Rong Yu, a Native of Jingnan, has a beautiful demeanor and can speak the Tao.
When he was young, he was not admitted to the jinshi, so he roamed around although poor, but he was personable and not discouraged, liked the landscape of Hunan, and often went there to play.
A Zhongcheng surnamed Cui was an official in Hunan, and he liked Rong Yu very much and wanted to marry the daughter of Guose Tianxiang to him, but he did not like his surname Rong, and if he could change his surname, it would be good to discuss.
Rong Yu thanked him with a poem, saying that he would resolutely not change his surname:
Qianjin may not be able to change his surname, and he never promises to kill himself.
When Wei Boyu was in Jingnan, he was dismissed as a servant, and later he also served as the History of the Thorn of Qianzhou, and was relegated to the History of the Assassination of Chenzhou for his crime.
Later, he lived in Jiannan and spent many years in Longxi.
During the reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang, the border was repeatedly in emergency, and the ministers suggested peace.
Tang Xianzong did not want to be close to him, and asked the ministers, I heard that there is a poet with a relatively strange name, do you know who it is?
The prime minister said, I don't know if What His Majesty is talking about is cold morning sun, or is it a bun?
Tang Xianzong said that it was not, and he held up his poem, and the ministers knew that he was talking about Rong Yu.
Tang Xianzong said: "I still remember the poem "History of Yong" written by Rong Yu, who wrote:
'In the history of Han Jiaqing, Ji Humble is a peace relative. Sheji is the Lord, and the woman is safe and secure. How can you purify the sand and dust of the jade? Underground Millennium Bone, who is the assistant minister. '”
The poetic meaning of Rong Yu is obvious, in the history of our Han people, peace and relatives have always been the next policy, and Jiangshan Sheji relies on the Ming Lord, how can it be entrusted to the woman!
The ministers no longer dared to negotiate peace.

Liu Xiyi, a native of Yingchuan, is a twenty-five-year-old middle soldier, beautiful and beautiful, good at talking and laughing, good at playing the pipa, drinking a few buckets without getting drunk, and falling down without being informal.
Liu Xiyi once wrote "Bai Tou Yin", and the famous sentence "The flowers are similar every year, and the years are different" is deeply loved by his uncle Song Zhiqing.
Song Zhiqing learned that he had not been passed on to others, and begged him to give it to him, which was written by him.
Liu Xiyi did not agree, and Song Zhiqing, in a fit of rage, went so far as to ask the servant to fill a large bag of soil with a bag and crush this nephew alive with the soil bag, who was less than thirty years old when he died.
"The Biography of Tang Caizi":... He also chanted: "The flowers are similar from year to year, but the years are different from year to year." He sighed again: "Death and life have a destiny, how can it be a lie!" "And so it goes hand in hand. Uncle Song Zhi asked for a bitter love after a couplet, knowing that it had not been passed on to others, pleading for it, but not with it. The question was angry with him, and the slave was crushed and killed by the earth bag, and before the time was thirty, the people had mercy...
Just don't ask a Song question, righteous thin cloud Heaven Song asked.
The tiju Daoist Song Zhi asked, and the tone was fresh Song Zhi's question.
Not flattered by the question of the Upper Song, the group is not the question of the Party Song.
All are original Song's questions, love and pity the younger generations' Song's questions.
05
Li Baiyao, a native of Dingzhou, Hebei Province, was a historian and poet who had been ill since childhood, and his grandmother named him "Hundred Medicines".
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, peasant uprisings occurred frequently, and Li Baiyao was forced to join the rebel army, following Shen Faxing, Li Zitong, and Du Fuwei.
Later, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan sent emissaries to appease Du Fuwei, and Li Baiyao urged Du Fuwei to return to Tang, and Du Fuwei agreed, and went to Chang'an to "Chao Jingshi", ordering fu gong and Li Baiyao to stay behind.
Unexpectedly, Du Fuwei repented on the way, and wrote a letter secretly ordering Fu Gong to kill Li Baiyao, and Fu Gong Ordered him to drink lime wine, which made him thin, pulled into a mess, and almost died.
Unexpectedly, Li Baiyao was blessed by misfortune, and then all the diseases were cured.
In the Zhenguan, he worshiped the Zhongshu Sheren and moved the prince Shuzi.
"Biography of Tang Caizi": Hundred Medicines, Heavy Rules, Dingzhou People. Young and sick, grandmother named "hundred medicines" ... Hui Gaozu summoned Du Fuwei, a hundred medicines to persuade the Jingshi, the middle way and repent, anger, drink lime wine, because of the great profit of several deaths, and even the illness is cured.
- Yes, buddy!
Let's talk about the young Li Baiyao.
He took a fancy to Yang Su as a favorite concubine. Enter at night and have an affair with it. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Yang Su.
Yang Su became angry and wanted to cure Li Baiyao of death.
When the people were brought up, they found that Li Baiyao was a handsome young man who was "not yet twenty years old, and the gods and goddesses were beautiful", and he could not help but feel sorry for his talents, and moved his heart of compassion and said: "Wen Rushan is a text, you can write a poem to describe yourself, saying that I intend to avoid Ru's death." ”
At the critical moment of life and death, Li Baiyao's thoughts were sudden, and he was written in one fell swoop.
After Reading it, Yang Su's expression was happy, and he gave his concubine to Li Baiyao as his wife on the spot, "and hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Later, Yang Su even asked Emperor Wen of Sui to grant Li Baiyao the title of Wailang, a member of the Shangshu Rites.
Li Baiyao was rich and wealthy, and he also became an official because of this, which became a good story for a while.
- "Sui and Tang Dynasty Stories"
--woc, yes buddy!

Chang Jian, a native of Chang'an, was in the same rank as the great poet Wang Changling, but unfortunately only became a lieutenant equivalent to the county armed forces minister.
Because of his unsatisfactory career, he let go of the langqin wine, with the intention of retiring to the rivers and lakes.
Once, while collecting medicine in the mountains, I met a woman with green hair.
The woman claimed to be a Qin Shigong person, and after escaping, she "lived in seclusion" in the mountains, making a living by eating pine leaves, and had "cultivated" to the point of not knowing hunger and cold.
The woman also taught her health care methods to Chang Jian without reservation.
There are not many stories about Chang Jian, and its name is not obvious.
But his sentence "The bamboo path leads to a quiet place, and the flowers and trees in the Zen room are deep" are unknown to everyone.
It is worth mentioning that Yin Bian of the Tang Dynasty selected him to be included in the "Collection of Heroic Spirits of Heyue" and became one of the 24 poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The poets of Sheng Tang were chosen to be the poets of Sheng Tang, Chang Jian was the first, Li Bai was the second, and there was no Du Fu.

Zheng Qian, a native of Zhengzhou, is a famous Gaoshi.
Zheng Qian had written more than eighty books on current events, and was accused of writing a history of the country privately, which scared him out of a cold sweat and hurriedly burned it to the ground, but he still sat for ten years.
Tang Xuanzong loved his talents, and specially set up the Guangwen Museum in the 25th year of the new century, and hired Zheng Qian as a doctor, and "Dr. Guangwen" began from him.
At that time, Zheng Qian's fame was no less than that of Wang Wei.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang personally inscribed "Zheng Qian's Three Absolutes" to inform the world that Zheng Qian's paintings, poems, and books were extinct.
Later, Zheng Qian was demoted to Taizhou (not yet a place of enlightenment at that time).
This debasement also brought the Guangwenguan to Taizhou.
Zheng Qian lived in Linhai for eight years and finally died in Linhai.
It was eight years short, but it made this small city in the south of the Jiangsu province inadvertently stretch for a thousand years.
In the five hundred years from the Tang Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, "more than 7,000 people raised soldiers", with a flourishing literary style and celebrities, won the name of "Little Zou Lu".
"The Biography of Tang Caizi": Pious... He has written more than eighty books on current events. There are those who tell the pious writers of the history of the country privately, and they are burned with fear and sit for ten years. Emperor Xuanzong loved his talents, and for twenty-five years, he set up the Cantonese Pavilion and was a doctor... Emperor Xuanzong signed his tail and said, "Zheng Qian is the third best." "... Because of the prayer, he had to degrade the Taizhou Sihu, pawn. There are sets of worlds.
The New Book of Tang and the Biography of Zheng Qian record the story of "picking leaves and practicing characters":
When he was young, Zheng Qian lived in Ci'en Temple, and when he had no money to buy paper, he collected persimmon leaves as paper, and even stored a few houses, writing on persimmon leaves every day, and even used up all the persimmon leaves.
Probably for this reason, more than a thousand years later, the newly built garden mansion in Linhai deliberately planted a few persimmon trees in the garden.

Yin Yao, a native of Jiangsu Sultanyang, served as a zhongwangfu cangcao to join the army, a very small official.
Yin Yao and Wang Wei befriended and had lofty ambitions, but they were so poor that they could not be buried.
When she died, her daughter was only ten years old, and there was nothing she could do but cry.
Someone gave him a little money before he was buried in the bone stone building mountain.
Yin Yao's poems were full of aphorisms, which were praised by Du Fu.
"Plugged In"
The City of Ten Thousand Miles is there, and the three sides are in decline.
Sand fills the lonely horns and burns off the old guan monument.
The horse color is cold and miserable, and the carved vocal cords are sad at night.
The general was idle, staying behind to change the lyrics.
"The Biography of Tang Caizi": Haruka... Befriend Wang Wei... And the bitter family is poor, the dead can not be buried, a daughter is only ten years old, the day mourns in the relatives, the love of the pitiful gift, buried in the bone stone building mountain.

Tea Saint Lu Yu is also a poet.
Lu Yu was an abandoned baby, abandoned under a small stone bridge, and the Zhiji Zen master of the Linglonggai Temple passed by the small stone bridge, and suddenly heard the flock of geese crying under the bridge, and when he looked closer, he saw a group of geese protecting a baby boy with his wings, and the baby boy had frozen his lips to the point of blackness, and the Zhiji Zen master hugged him back to the temple to raise him.
The reason why he was abandoned by his parents was probably because of his short and ugly appearance.
After Lu Yu grew up, he also worked as a clown actor in the local drama team.
Lu Yu is not only ugly, but also stutters, but he prefers to argue with people.
His biggest feature is to keep his word, date people, and even if the tiger and wolf get in the way, they have to go to the appointment.
He often drove a flat leaf boat back and forth between mountain temples, "hitting the trees and making the water flow", or chanting ancient poems in the wilderness, often in the middle of the night to have fun and cry.
This child does not know how bitter his heart is.
Lu Yu loves tea and is the author of three volumes of the Tea Classic, with the title of "Tea Immortal".
The tea seller painted his appearance on ceramics, worshipped him as a tea god, bought ten sets of tea utensils, and gave him a porcelain with his appearance.
When Li Jiqing, the imperial master, was serving as the assassin of Huzhou, He heard of Lu Yu's great name in tea art and invited him to perform tea art.
Lu Yu dressed in civilian clothes and went.
After the performance, Li Jiqing ordered the slaves to give money, and Lu Yu was very ashamed, so he went back and wrote "On Destroying Tea".
The book no longer exists.
Some people said that because he did not wear "formal clothes", he was looked down upon by Li Jiqing, and Li Jiqing humiliated him by giving him money, so he wrote "On Destroying Tea" to persuade people not to drink tea again.
Some people also say that the reason why he wrote this article is that there is no good tea in the world, so he advises people not to drink tea again.
"The Biography of Tang Caizi": Yu... At the beginning, Li Jiqing, the imperial master, announced jiangnan, xicha, zhiyu, and zhaozhi. YuNo entered with a silken gear, and Li Yue said, "Lu Junshan tea, the world knows." Yangzi is full of water, and it is extraordinary. Now that the two mysterious encounters in a thousand lifetimes, the mountain people should not lose it lightly. "Cha Bi, order slaves and money." Yu Shamezhi, and even wrote "On the Destruction of Tea"...
I think the first one is unreliable.
"Destroy" means "destroyed", not "denigrated";
In today's Chinese, it is "On the Act of Destroying the Tea Ceremony", so that it is reasonable.
