Li Bai, who was playing around in the mountains and rivers, came to the Yellow Crane Tower one day. Climbing the tower and looking around, the mountains in the distance are like daisy, the smoke waves in the near distance are vast, only to feel that the heavens and the earth are leisurely, the mind is open, and suddenly there seems to be a thousand words in the heart, just waiting for the vigorous development.
Just when Li Bai was about to enjoy himself, he suddenly saw that there was already a poem inscribed by Cui Hao on the wall:
The people of the past have gone by the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is empty here.
The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are long in the air.
Harukawa calendar Hanyang tree, yerba buena parrot island.
Where is Nippori Pass? The Smoke Wave River is sad.
- "Yellow Crane Tower"
Cui Hao's poems are not at all artificial, as if they are chanted out of their mouths, pouring out thousands of miles, but they do not lose their wind and bones, and they are magnificent and magnificent. After Reading it, Li Bai couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud, "Wonderful! Wonderful! He was amazed by Cui Hao's poem, and the inspiration he had just had was swept away, and he felt that all the words could not surpass this poem.
Therefore, he wrote with a stroke of his pen that "there is no way to see the scenery in front of him, and Cui Hao's inscription poem is on the top", and then drifted away, leaving an allusion to "Li Bai shelving his pen".
Cui Hao, who is it? It can make the proud poet Immortals bow to the wind and put their pens on it.
Cui Hao, a native of Kaifeng, Henan, wu Zetian Chang'an for four years, was born in the "Boling Cui clan" of the famous clan at that time. Since childhood, he is intelligent and studious, and his thinking is quick, and he has entered the army and the first at the age of twenty. However, because of his temperament, his career was not smooth.
Cui Hao, who was depressed in the official arena, had no choice but to pin his sorrows on poetry, wine, and beauty. He often lingers on the capital city to hook up the bar tiles, gambling and alcoholism. If you marry a wife and a concubine, you must be a person with a beautiful face, and you do not know how to cherish it, and if you have a little unhappiness, you will give up remarriage. In the Old Book of Tang, it is recorded: "Cui Hao, Dengjin Shidi, juncai, no scholar, good bo, drinking." And you Jingshi, who marries a wife with good looks, is slightly uncomfortable, that is, to go, counting four before and after. Therefore, it also left the world's evaluation of Cui Hao's "writing and no line".
It is said that Cui Haocai is extremely famous, and the streets and alleys of the capital city, Qinglou Liquor Store, etc., can hear the music composed by his poems. At that time, Li Yong, who was highly prestigious in the literary world, heard of Cui Haocai's name and hoped to talk to him in person, so he invited Cui Hao to meet him in the palace.
Cui Hao came by appointment, and Li Yong couldn't wait to see the new work of this young descendant. Cui Hao presented a poem he had just written, "The Young Woman of the Wang Family":
Fifteen married Wang Chang, Yingying into the painting hall.
Since the least years of self-esteem, the re-reliance on the son-in-law as a lang.
Dance love before the green, song pity the night long.
Idle to fight hundreds of grass, live a day without makeup.
Li Yong has always paid attention to his character, is a square and upright person, and never touches these frivolous and feminine things. Therefore, just after reading the first two sentences of the poem, I became disgusted, threw it on the ground, and angrily said: "Children are rude! After saying that, he whisked his sleeves away, leaving Cui Hao with a confused face, not knowing what was happening.
I thought this was a life opportunity to get the support of the literary giants. I didn't think about it, but I came with pleasure, but I ended up unhappy and scattered. Because he could not get the recommendation of powerful people, he had to stay away from the capital and wandered the rivers and lakes, and did not return to Chang'an until twenty years later.
In fact, although Cui Hao's poems in his youth were "more written in love and flowed in the flashy", they were fresh and natural, elegant and simple, and they were absolutely infatuated and true, not extravagant. For example, his "Long Line":
Where the Jun's family lived, the concubines lived in Hengtang.
Stop the boat for a while, or I am afraid that it is a fellow countryman.
Twenty words vividly depict a scene for us: a lonely and innocent woman who hears the conversation of the man on the boat next to her, which is a familiar rural sound. She couldn't help but stop and ask, "My home is in Hengtang, are you from the same village as me?" ”
The poem is kind and natural as homely, but it makes us truly feel a lonely and lonely woman who has left her hometown, the joy of meeting her hometown, and the deep miss and attachment to her hometown.
Another of his poems, Nagato Grudge:
The king favored the first rest and abandoned his concubine Nagato Palace.
The Purple Hall is full of moss, and the sky is bright and clear.
Night sorrows give birth to pillows, spring curtains.
Crying no one asked, Rong Hua fell into the mirror.
Although it is written about a woman in the deep palace, it is full of paper and lonely, and there is no flashy beauty. He used poetry to tell the women about the loneliness and helplessness in the high-walled deep house, and could only pass the years with tears in the spring and autumn of the year.
Since Eun Hai could not tolerate him, he could only leave the capital and measure the rivers and mountains of various parts of the motherland with his footsteps. He once lingered in the small bridge in Jiangnan and bathed in the desert wind and sand in the north of Sai. After more than twenty years of wandering, his poetic style is no longer fresh and lingering, but more of a side plug and roughness.
Yanjiao Fang is late in life, and the snow is frozen in the border city.
In April, the grass merges, and the spring aquatic life in Liaoyang is born.
The Hu people were herding horses, and the Han generals were conscripting troops.
The dew-heavy treasure knife is wet, and the sand is weak and the golden drum is sounding.
The winter clothes are exhausted, and the spring clothes are with whom.
Send a message to the Envoy of Luoyang, for the sake of passing on the border.
- "Liaoxi Zuo"
At this time, Cui Hao should have been a staff member in the army, and experienced the bitter cold of the Saiwai military camp with the non-commissioned officers. The land in Yanjiao has already blossomed in spring, but the border city is still a little snowy, and the cold wind is gusting. The Hu people outside Guanwai are herding horses and look peaceful and peaceful, while Guannei is recruiting troops every day, and the danger is fraught with danger, and war is about to break out. The frost was cold and dewy, and the winter clothes of the pawns had been worn out for a whole winter, so please go to the messengers in Luoyang to convey the hardships of the side plugs and send the spring clothes as soon as possible.
Although the language of this poem is plain, it is strong and powerful, the realm is heavy and heavy, and it no longer has the purity and femininity of the past. It's like a boy who was once young and has now grown into a rugged and bold man. Perhaps, this is the gift that life has given him, Cui Hao, no longer attached to the wind and snow, he began to care about exploring the true meaning of life under the cover of calm, this is the real growth.
It is said that Cui Hao "has no literature and no deeds", and he has also spent his life for this. Grind away the romance, blow away the glitz, only the wind, frost, rain and snow, sword shadow blade.
