Wen/Uncle C
When the water was not overhead, Wang Bo remembered one thing, the borrowed road fee may not be paid back.
In August 676, the third year of the First Century, a ship sailing from Jiaotong to Guangzhou overturned. A young life has since stayed forever at the age of 27. Just the year before, he had just written an article in Nanchang for the first time to rebuild the Tengwang Pavilion, and he might not have thought that this "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" would make him famous in history.
Wang Bo, the character Zi'an, is the protagonist of our issue.
In most people's cognition, Wang Bo is a young genius, his only regret is to die prematurely, and some people even say that if Wang Bo can live for a few more decades, then what is the matter with Li Bai? From today's point of view, just by virtue of a "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion", Wang Bo's life is worth it, as Du Fu said in his poem:
Wang Yang Lu Luo was in his body at that time, and he was light and thin.
Ercao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers are not wasted.
However, Pei Xingjian, a famous general of the Early Tang Dynasty, did not have a high opinion of Wang Bo and other "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", saying:
"Although Bo et al. have literary brilliance, but impetuous and shallow, will they enjoy the evil of the instrument of Julu!"
So is Wang Bo's short life a success or a failure? The story begins with "a gust of wind".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > First, Ma Dang kamikaze sent Wang Bo</h1>
Compared with the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" itself, Wang Bo's amazing story in the Tengwang Pavilion is more legendary, and many articles in later generations have written Wang Bo as a god, in fact, the historical record of him is not so mysterious, the reason why Wang Bo will become a legend is due to Feng Menglong's "Awakening to the World Hengyan" of the Ming Dynasty.
"Awakening to the Everlasting Word" is a legendary novel of the late Ming Dynasty, and there are five similar novels, collectively known as "Three Words and Two Beats".
"Three Words" is Feng Menglong's "Yu Shi Ming Yan", "Awakening The Constant Words", "Warning World Tongyan", "Second Beat" is Ling Maochu's "First Moment Shooting Surprise" and "Second Moment Shooting Surprise", "Three Words and Two Beats" writes mostly city stories and folklore, and many stories are "scaled" so large that they were once listed as "banned books".
One of them, "Madang Kamikaze Sends Tengwang Pavilion" can be said to be the initial version of the "Legend of Wang Bo", and the following let us enter Wang Bo's "fantasy journey".
Like the Ming and Qing dynasty scripts such as the "Four Masterpieces", the story begins with a set poem:
The mountains hide different treasures and the mountains contain beauty, and the sand has golden sand to shine.
Good things are that if the Tibetans are heartfelt, the words are unusual.
It is said that Wang Bo often walked with his aunt and uncle from childhood, and when he was 14 years old (controversial, as will be explained later), he once took a boat from Jinling to Jiujiang, passing through the first dangerous place in Jiujiang, Madang Mountain. Coincidentally, Wang Bo just arrived here and suddenly the wind was fierce, and the wind and rain were shaking, like a man with his own BGM.
The ancients generally prayed to the gods and worshiped the Buddha when they encountered wind and waves, so everyone on the ship prayed for blessings, but Wang Bo had no fear. Someone asked, he came to say, my life is in heaven, is it in the dragon god!
As soon as this remark came out, it was full of surprises, and everyone thought that this was a little Nezha who came out of nowhere, why should you bother everyone if you boy doesn't want to live? Under the fiery eyes of everyone, Wang Bo was not angry, and continued, it seems that I still have to come to save you, so he waved a large pen, chanted a poem, and then threw the paper in the water, saying that it was strange, and after a while, the wind and waves were calm, and the faces of the people immediately turned from yin to sunny, and sighed, Lang Jun is really a wizard, and can say that he can move the river god. Wang Bo also arrogantly pampered himself, saying, Life and death are in the sky, how can there be avoided!
A Wang Bo who was not afraid of heaven appeared on the scene.
The boat docked at The Madang Mountain, wang Bo went ashore to hang out, saw an ancient temple, and wrote: Edict to the Zhongyuan Shuifu Palace. Wang Bo was also not polite, so he inscribed a poem on the wall:
There is a lonely boat under the Madang Mountain, and the reeds on the shore are clustered with green streams.
Suddenly, the ZhuMen was half hidden, and the layers of Rui Qi locked in silence.
The scenery in this temple is unique, with poetry clouds:
The blue tiles rise in the clouds, and the Zhumen reflects the sun.
A lump of gold, a thousand pieces of jade for the street.
When he was burning incense in the temple and enjoying it for a long time, Wang Bo was preparing to return to the ship, when an old man suddenly stopped him and asked, Are you Wang Bo? Wang Bo looked at lao shu and felt that things were not simple, and the original text described the old man: blue eyes and long eyebrows, bearded and bearded, yan ruying jade, refreshing, and looking like a god.
Stills from "Stop Killing Order"
To say that Wang Bo really has eyesight, he respectfully talked with Lao Shuo, who said that he had seen the poems written by Wang Bo on the ship and asked him, You have such a talent, why don't you go to the examination for a meritorious name? Wang Bo said that his family was cold and embarrassed, and his pockets were shy, so he was poor and had lost hopes of Qingyun. Lao Shu said, this is easy to do, tomorrow's Chongyang Festival, Hongdu Yanfu Jun wants to write "Tengwang GeJi" (then also called TengwangGeJi), with your talent, you can not only get thousands of funds, but also can be famous in future generations.
Wang Bo said that Hongdu was more than seven hundred miles away from here, and he could not catch up with it in one day. Lao Sou said how difficult it was, let Wang Bo wait on the shore, soon came a boat, Lao Soo let Wang Bo get on the boat, just untied the rope, the boat sailed like a meteor, Wang Bo's ears sounded lao Shu's voice, I am the source of water, the temple on the mountain, is my incense. So you see that it is always right to go out and pray more.
In a few days, he arrived in Hongdu, and it was said that this Governor Yan Du was the highest local governor, and on the same day he rebuilt the Tengwang Pavilion and invited famous people from all over the world to make a record of the Tengwang Pavilion. In fact, Yan Dudu paved the way for his son-in-law Wu Zizhang, and he had already prepared the article for him today. The famous Confucians present here also tacitly agreed, so they held paper and pencil in front of everyone left and right, pretending to be humble, and no one accepted it, so that one person let one go, and wang Bo of the last seat was reached. As a result, Wang Bo did not hesitate, took a pen and paper and began to compose.
Everyone sighed at first glance, how come this young man does not talk about martial virtue, the jianghu is not fighting and killing, but also the sophistication of human feelings. When Yan Du saw this, he was even more angry and got up and left his seat, and in an uproar, Wang Bo was not at all confused, just at ease to write. The servants did their duty, and went back and forth to report what Wang Bo had written.
The next story we are very familiar with, the first two sentences, Nanchang Old County, Hongdu New Province. Yan Gong said that this is a cliché, and no one will. And then came to report, the three rivers and the five lakes, control the barbarian thorns and lead Ouyue. Yan Gong was silent in thought. Just like this, until the sunset and the lone bird fly together, the autumn water is long and colorful. Yan Gong unconsciously clapped his hands and said, If this son has divine help, he is really a genius!
At that time, the guests did not realize that they had all become participants in the first costume X scene in history, but Feng Menglong felt that the story was not twisted enough, so he arranged a small episode. Wu Zizhang, who should have played the protagonist, was not convinced, saying that Wang Bo's article was an old text of the sages, and he was afraid that the crowd would not believe it, so Wu Zizhang immediately began to recite it. This was originally Wu Zizhang's ability to never forget, and just when he was smug and proud, Wang Bo said leisurely, can the old text still have poetry? Wu Zizhang said no, and Wang Bo immediately composed a poem:
King Teng's High Pavilion linjiangzhu, Pei Yuming Luan sang and danced.
The painting is facing the South Pu cloud, and the bead curtain is rolling in the rain of the western mountains.
The shadow of the idle cloud pond is leisurely, and the things change stars to move several degrees in autumn.
Where is the Emperor of the Cabinet? The Yangtze River flows empty of its own streams outside the sills.
Everyone present, including Wu Zizhang, was amazed, the story that people usually know ended here, we saw a vigorous and spirited Wang Bo, like a rising star in the sky of the Tang Dynasty, he did not believe in fate, did not believe in gods and Buddhas, everything was only on his own, what an inspirational story.
However, there is still a second half of the story.
After TengwangGe became famous, Wang Bo returned to Madang Mountain with sacrifices and wine. Shui Jun warmly received Wang Bo, and when the two separated, Shui Jun raised his mouth, saying that Wang Bo's life was not over, and that there would definitely be a chance to see him again in the future. Wang Bo was a little curious and asked about his fate and future.
Shui Jun was a little embarrassed, but still replied, the matter of life and death is not in my control, I can not leak the heavenly opportunity, but talent and wealth, you can only have the same. Then he comforted Wang Bo, saying that this thing of wealth and nobility has always been arranged by God, and every cent has a fixed number, you see Confucius in the past, it is still inevitable that Chen Cai's misfortune, not to mention ordinary people. Wang Bo naturally understood Shui Jun's meaning, but he was slightly disappointed in his heart.
Separated from Shui Jun, Wang Bo went to cross his toes to run to relatives, and on the way, he met Yuwen Jun, who had recently witnessed Wang Bo's amazing success in the Tengwang Pavilion, so the two of them crossed the sea by boat together.
This is the third day of the ship's voyage on the sea, the sky was clear, in an instant, the wind roared, the strange waves were fierce, and the boat that could hold dozens of people was as small as a leaf at this time, and it was also blinking when it fell. Everyone on the ship was terrified, but Wang Bo said lightly, there is life and death, wealth is in the sky, although there are storms, there is not enough to mind.
After saying this, the wind and waves actually calmed down, and just as everyone was cheering for Wang Bo, someone heard a music coming from the wind, and gradually more people heard it, and this music was ethereal and distant. Then one saw a multicolored cloud, descending from the sky, leaning against the side of the boat, the cloud turning into fog, and a hand reaching out of the fog, a slender and beautiful hand, as if it had not touched a speck of dust, and it was summoning something.
Wang Bo seemed to understand something, so he jumped onto the deck and walked in the direction of that hand, and under his feet were thousands of waves, only to see Wang Bo walk towards the fog like a flat foot, halfway through, he turned back to Yuwen Jun, and then smiled and disappeared into the fog.
People later said that Wang Bo was going to be a god.
Feng Menglong arranged a fatalistic ending for Wang Bo, who did not succumb to fate. Rather than being ironic, it is better to say that generations of literati worship and mythologize Wang Bo, and people are more willing to believe in the talent of heaven than simply being killed. So, what about the real Wang Bo?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="252" > two, another Wang Bo</h1>
In 674, a man with the appearance of an official came to the prison to convey to the death row prisoners the emperor's amnesty for the world. The sun was shining on Wang Bo's shoulders, and he felt a long-lost warmth, who was supposed to be executed in a few months, and his already desperate life had turned around. The way home was familiar and unfamiliar, and memories of the past gradually emerged in sleep.
In 650, Wang Bo was born in Longmen, Daizhou (present-day Hejin, Shanxi), and was known as a prodigy as a child. The Old Book of Tang records:
"At the age of six, he interpreted the text, the concept was not delayed, the words were heroic, and he was similar to his brother."
But in the Wang family, there is nothing unusual about prodigies, and there are many "magical" deeds in the Wang family. For example, Wang Bo's grandfather Wang Tong and Wang Ji.
Wang Tong was a Great Confucian of the Sui Dynasty, and the Three Character Classic lists him as one of the five sons of the Hundred Sons of the Hundred Families, known as Wen Zhongzi, along with Xunzi, Yangxiong, Laozi, and Zhuangzi. When he was born, his father calculated a gua for him, and his grandfather Ankang xiangong looked at it, which was the gua of the king of Su, and in the future, "he will be able to pass through the world's aspirations", so he named wang tong.
Wang Tong could study at the age of two, he could already discuss the general trend of the country with his father at the age of five, and at the age of eighteen, He Xiucai was already the most advanced achievement in the Sui Dynasty, no less than the Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, Wang Tong did not meet Huai Cai later, so he decided to return to his hometown to engage in education, and more than a thousand of his disciples were known as "Hefen Menxia", and among his disciples were Xue Shuo, one of Li Shimin's "Eighteen Scholars", Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo, and the official Shangshu Du Yan.
Wang Tong's younger brother, Wang Bo's uncle Wang Ji, was even more of an odd man. With a poem "Wild Hope", he opened the situation for the Five-Word Poetry of the Tang Dynasty, and in order to drink good wine, he jumped from Menxia Province to the Taile Bureau to engage in music, and people called him "Doujiu Bachelor". But compared to his early years, this is nothing.
When Wang Ji was fifteen years old, he went to the capital to play, and he was eligible to participate in Yang Su's banquet, and Yang Su was known as the founding father of the Sui Dynasty. Wang Ji had not yet become an official at that time, and Yang Su's reception of guests naturally made a difference. Unexpectedly, Wang Ji actually ridiculed Yang Su, Ming Gong's future wealth can rely on the people of the world, do you treat talents like this? Of course, Yang Su understands that people like this are either stupid or geniuses. So the guests debated, and as a result, Wang Ji was in the limelight, no less than Wang Bo's appearance in the Tengwang Pavilion, when people called Wang Ji "fairy boy".
Not only are the ancestors powerful, the seven Wang Bo brothers are also "xueba", and the brothers Wang Xun, Wang Xun and Wang Bo are collectively called "the three trees of the Wang clan".
The above is not to show how strong the genes of the Wang family are, and now many people think that Wang Bo's talent is due to talent, but behind the prodigy is reading and writing day and night. Hard work is on the one hand, on the other hand is pressure, for ordinary people, the middle jinshi has been able to honor the ancestors, but the examination and the official is only the starting point for Wang Bo, he has a more ambitious goal in his heart, his family also has greater expectations for him, and this also lays the groundwork for Wang Bo's future tragedies.
In 664, in the first year of Lin De, Liu Xiangdao worshiped the Right Xiang and toured Guannei, and the fourteen-year-old Wang Bo wrote a "Book of The Right Phase of Liu". At that time, the Tang Dynasty fought with Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo for four years, causing a lot of public resentment. Wang Bo raised objections to the frequent use of troops by the imperial court from the four aspects of military, political, economic, and employment systems, of course, fighting a war was Gaozong's decision, and the emperor naturally could not scold, so Wang Bo angrily attacked Liu Xiangdao four times in the article, saying that you obviously know these problems, but why don't you advise the Lord?
The whole article is magnificent, open and reasonable, and finally does not forget to praise Liu Xiangdao. So Liu Xiangdao asked who wrote it? Knowing that it was Wang Bo, who was only fourteen years old, he immediately said, "This prodigy is also recommended by Jia." Wang Bo's fame grew.
Since then, Wang Bo has written a series of articles singing praises and praising virtue, hoping to win fame. In 665, the Qianyuan Hall in the eastern capital Luoyang was completed, and Wang Bo wrote a "Song of the Qianyuan Hall" and praised Emperor Gaozong fiercely. In 666, Emperor Gaozong sealed Taishan, and Wang Bo wrote another "Ode to The Eastern Yue of Chenyou". Although Wang Bo was not directly appointed or dismissed by Emperor Gaozong, these articles all revealed Wang Bo's talent, and finally, Wang Bo was appreciated by King Pei and entered the Palace of Pei Wang as a attendant (also said to be a cultivator).
In fact, in 666 AD, Wang Bo should pay homage to Yusu Juke and the first, and worship Chao Sanlang. Chao Sanlang was an official from Qipin, and it was reasonable to say that the starting point was not low, but it was far from Wang Bo's ambitions, and although he entered the palace, although he did not have an official position, it was a faster promotion channel.
Li Xian, the Prince of Pei, was the sixth son of Emperor Gaozong, and was very much loved by Emperor Gaozong, and there were also many talents in the Palace of Pei at that time, such as Liu Gongyan, known as the "ZongShi" in the Book of Han, and Xu Shuya, who was proficient in "Mao Poems" and "Li Ji", but these people were "good teachers", Li Xian was not yet twenty years old at the time, and Wang Bo, who was similar to him, naturally became the "beneficial friend" of King Pei.
If all goes well, there is a good chance that Li Xian will ascend to the throne (Later Li Xian became crown prince). And Wang Bo is also likely to become Li Xian's Fang Xuanling or Wei Zheng, thus creating a career and becoming famous in history. However, just as the so-called "water can carry boats, but also can overturn boats", Wang Bo's future is still planted in an article.
The Pei King's Mansion was the culmination of Wang Bo's life, and at the same time a turning point in his destiny.
One day in 669, Emperor Gaozong received an article and was furious after reading it. This article, titled "The Chicken of the King of Qiying", is from the Pei Wangfu, and the author is Wang Bo.
At that time, cockfighting was popular among the upper-class disciples, and the kings were naturally enthusiastic about this, and once the King of Pei and the King of Ying (then the King of Zhou) competed in cockfighting, perhaps Wang Bo was anxious to perform, so he wrote this "King of The King of Qiying", and the King of Pei was also in the beginning at that time, and he also sent a "Text". This was originally a play between the two young princes, but when the news reached Emperor Gaozong, it changed its nature.
Throughout history, the relationship between the princes has always been very delicate, and Tang Taizong's "change of XuanwuMen" has always been taboo, although cockfighting is a trivial matter, but the imperial staff provoked infighting between the princes, which touched the emperor's bottom line. They must be taught a lesson, kill one to make an example, so Wang Bo became the "negative model" and was immediately expelled from the Pei King's Mansion.
The Old Book of Tang records:
"Emperor Gaozong' view of it, Anger: According to this, it is a gradual intersection. On the same day, he rebuked the house and did not let him enter the house. ”
Although he was expelled from the palace, Wang Bo was still young after all, and some friends found a position for him to join the army in Yuzhou, but during his military service, Wang Bo ran into a big disaster.
The New Book of Tang records:
"Join the army. He is proud of his peers. There are officials and slaves Cao Da who have committed crimes, who are hidden, and who are afraid of the leaks, but kill Da to plug their mouths, and when the incident occurs, they will be pardoned. ”
Wang Bo shielded a criminal official slave, you say help people to the end, he is afraid that the matter will be exposed, he actually killed the official slave, and the result is that the murder was discovered again, according to the law this is a capital crime. Fortunately, Wang Bo was granted amnesty, although he was exempted from capital punishment, but his official position was lost more thoroughly, and his father was also implicated, and he joined the army from Yongzhou Sihu to the left to cross the toe (present-day Vietnam) order.
When we look back at this history, we will feel that Wang Bo was so unlucky? A "drama article" wiped out the future, an inexplicable hiding almost gave his life, is someone jealous of him and deliberately harmed him? We're going to look at this in two ways.
When Wang Bo was twelve years old, he studied the Zhou Yi and the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classics with the famous Chang'an physician Cao Yuan, and when he learned to be separated, Cao Yuan specifically instructed Wang Bo:
"No madness to self-manifestation, when gloomy to self-depth also."
It can also be seen from this that Wang Bo should not be a low-key person. From Wang Bo's point of view, this can also be understood, because he has been a prodigy since he was a child, his peers are not better than him, the older ones are holding him, and before entering the Pei Palace, Wang Bo almost did not encounter any decent setbacks.
For geniuses, it is easy to be sanctified. Once people float, they naturally can't see the eyes of the people around them.
Behind the prosperity of the royal palace is the cruel competition between the weak and the strong, and the people here are not so much loyal to the King of Pei as they are loyal to their own ambitions. Wang Bo, who was not deeply involved in the world and was extremely talented, came to the palace, and he naively thought that as long as he made King Pei happy, he would be promoted.
Therefore, when he wrote "The King Chicken of The King of Qiying", the literati in the Pei King's Mansion all showed a smile, they all seemed to appreciate Wang Bo's article, and I don't know why, this "King Chicken of the King of Qiying" was passed to the side of the saint's case.
However, the experience of the royal palace did not let Wang Bo learn enough lessons, from the royal palace to the army, the huge contrast in reality, coupled with the situation of "Xiu Cai met the soldiers", made Wang Bo more and more incompatible with the environment.
The New Book of Tang already reveals Wang Bo's sinister situation in just one sentence. At the time of the palace, there was no record of Wang Bo's arrogance, at least on the surface, everyone was at peace. But at this time, Wang Bo was already "sick by his colleagues", as before, before Wang Bo made a mistake, no one reminded him, and even, everyone was watching things happen, silently picking up the stone, waiting for Wang Bo to automatically jump into the trap.
Wang Bo's future was becoming more and more confused.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="254" > III</h1>
When the pen and ink reached Wang Bo, he did not hesitate to pick up the pen, the voice began to become noisy, someone pointed at him, but Wang Bo could not care about these at all, he understood that this may be his last chance in life, he wants to gamble.
In 674, Wang Bo, who had just been pardoned, returned to his hometown of Longmen, and his father did not seem to have set out to pay for his toes, because there was no travel fee, in order to raise Sichuan funds for his father, Wang Bo wrote a "Shanglang Du Douqi", which read:
"The righteousness of the concubine is only constant, and the difference between thick and thin, Voshi visits."
Meaning, my lord, you are doing well, give a little more. When I read this, I always feel desolate, life has ups and downs, and the poor and the rich have their own fixed numbers, but at this time Wang Bo gave up the dignity of the reader, and the Wang family seemed to have reached the point of exhaustion. Thinking that the old father would have to go to the remote toe alone, and all this was self-inflicted, Wang Bo began to reflect in remorse.
Although he was at a low point in his life at this time, Wang Bo was still young after all, still looking for friends everywhere, hoping to "find an old job", mentioned in "Hundreds of Li Chang Yan Shu":
"It is a gentleman who does not bend and is easy to speak, so he bends and ends up in Peace; loyal subjects do not lose their minds because they are poor, so they are poor and will prosper."
However, a person like him who has made a big mistake is not easy to be accepted by the officialdom again, and in addition to disappointment, he wrote in "Winter Detention Tour Of Fenyin to Send Wei Shaofu into Luo":
"The imperial court has no place to stand, and the hill garden has a place to encompass it. The cause in the mountains is temporarily going to the fishing tree; the world is late, and the city is closed less. Suddenly, Ping Shui was bored with the clouds and rain; doubly cut through the poor way, caressing the skeleton and He Tuo. ”
The road to promotion was completely blocked, the ambition of the whole body had nowhere to play, the glory of the family was lost in his hands, and in only two years he fell from the peak to the bottom, and the future was even more unknown, Wang Bo came to Nanchang with such a mood.
At the banquet at the Tengwang Pavilion, he suddenly found a glimmer of "hope".
Wang Bo would not have appeared in the Tengwang Pavilion, he needed help from friends along the way, and it was Wang Chenglie (some said to be his uncle) who received Wang Bo in Nanchang, and Wang Chenglie may have been a person who could speak under Yan Dudu, which also explained why Wang Bo, who was a "commoner" at the time, could attend the highest level of local banquets. In the "Awakening to the Everlasting Word", it is said that Wang Bo accompanied the last seat, on the one hand, he was young, and more mainly because Wang Bo's identity at this time was not qualified.
It is reasonable to say that before the banquet, everyone present was more or less "cared for", so the pen and ink had the opportunity to pass to Wang Bo, who was the last in power. At this time, Wang Bo understood that the moment he picked up the pen, he would become the only persona non grata in the audience, and even permanently appear on the local blacklist, but he understood even more that after today, he would never have the opportunity to meet so many big people, if you ask him at this time when is the most important moment in his life? He will surely answer, it is now!
As a result, Wang Bo began to write his own "cover letter". The ancient famous article "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" is actually a cover letter? I'm afraid many people won't agree, don't worry, let's revisit the content of the article.
Regarding how well the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" is written, we have the opportunity to talk about it separately due to the limited space, and here we come to see what Wang Bo wants to express. At the beginning of the article, Wang Bo wrote about how superior the geographical environment in which TengwangGe is located, of course, on the one hand, it is "customer needs", on the other hand, it is to pave the way for follow-up work.
The second paragraph is to write "people", from Yan Dudu, Yuwen Zhou Mu to Meng Xueshi, General Wang, all of you here have basically exaggerated, it can be said that they put themselves in a very humble position. Frankly speaking, It is not too much for Yan Dudu to think that these words are "clichés".
The next two paragraphs, from "September of shiwei, the preface belongs to the three autumns", to "The sunset and the lone bird fly together, and the autumn water is long and the sky is the same", is what I saw and heard when I wrote about the Pavilion of the King of Dengteng.
Immediately after, from "Far away, YiXing flew." "All the way to" the poor eyes in the middle of the sky, the extreme entertainment in the leisure day. Wang Bo's perspective shrank smaller and smaller, from the entire Hongzhou area, to the Tengwang Pavilion, to the Jinghe people in the pavilion, to how successful the banquet was held, how dedicated the guests were, and then he immediately turned his words around.
The most advanced expressions in Chinese culture are often implicit, talking about thoughts, that is, saying "bright moon night, short Matsuoka". Talking about character means saying, "Grass and trees have their own hearts, and they ask for beauty to fold." The ultimate purpose of "writing scenes" is to "lyricism".
The heavens and the earth are different, and the universe is infinite; the joy and sorrow come, and the number of the void is realized.
The first half of the "scenery" is laid out, Wang Bo finally wants to express his thoughts, but the direct conversion is inevitably blunt, Wang Bo is such a transition, he said that the moon has clouds and sunshine, the water has the ebb and flow, and even the happy days will finally end, how can we face the ups and downs of life?
In the second half, he begins to compare himself with a series of historical "failed figures", from Feng Tang Li Guang to Meng Tianjun Ruan, who, despite their talent, fame and thought, are still "unlucky and fateful." "And I Wang Bo is not like this, today I have the honor to meet you here, but also look forward to meeting Bole and Zhiyin, I do not have any talent, I would like to commemorate our good time today with this article."
This "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" began in the eyes of everyone's doubts and contempt, the voices in the cabinet from chaos to silence, from quiet to silence, from silence to amazement, Wang Bo's words seemed to be bright and gradually lit up with golden light, this light came out of the window, infiltrating the entire sky, clouds rushed from afar, a lightning bolt broke through the long sky from the sky, as if splitting a hole in the Milky Way, in the thunder, Wang Bo's name snaked down the long river of history.
Today, the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" has become a "famous passage through the ages", and people are amazed at how well the "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" is written, how many idioms are created, and how many allusions are quoted. However, I feel that what makes Wang Bo famous in history is his feelings hidden in the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion".
A truly good work must have "true feelings." The country's unfortunate poets are fortunate and endowed with vicissitudes. In the last two years of his life, Wang Bo finally began to learn to reflect and finally understand humility, but for Wang Bo, everything was already too late.
A person with talent and hard work, but failed to live this life well, at this time Wang Bo more or less found some answers.
Whether this "cover letter" can help him return to the official field, Wang Bo is not sure in his heart, the only thing he can do is to integrate his regrets and reflections into this "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion".
Wang Bo sank in a posture of facing the sky on his back, the air in his lungs was rapidly draining, in the direction of the bubble escape, two groups of similar fish swam from different directions, Wang Bo was enveloped in a school of fish, he suddenly felt relieved, the already black scenery in front of his eyes was clearly visible, it seemed that a white mist could be seen flying out of his body, and there were more white fog floating from all directions, surrounding him and flying to the distance. Wang Bo understood that from now on, he would not be trapped by anything.
