"When I see the warbler crying willow flying, when the intestines are broken in the Shangyang Palace," the red leaves conveyed the situation

One autumn during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, a young man picked up a piece of red leaves flowing from the waterway of Luoyang's Shangyang Palace, and on the leaf surface there was a mournful poem inscribed by the palace maid: "Once you enter the deep palace, you will not see spring every year." Talk about a leaf, send it to a lover. ”

This curious and caring young man also wrote a poem on the autumn leaves, which reads: "When I see the warbler crying and the willow flying, when the intestines are cut off in the Shangyang Palace." The king does not close the east flowing water, and the inscription poem on the leaf is sent to whom? Then he spread this red leaf from the upper pool into the palace, and actually got in touch with the mourning palace girl.

Since then, young people and palace girls have often used autumn leaves to convey the voice of love. During the Anshi Rebellion, the officers and soldiers carried out a sixty-day "Luoyang Defense War" to resist the rebel An Lushan, and the young man took advantage of the chaos to find the palace girl who was preaching poetry to him, and escaped from the Shangyang Palace together.

This is the legend of "Red Leaf Affection", and the legendary young man is the famous poet and painter Gu Quan of the Tang Dynasty. This is a mysterious figure, we only know that his name is Huayang Zhenyi, is a native of Haining, Zhejiang, once ascended to the jinshidi, served as a writer Lang, Raozhou Sihu joined the army and other petty officials, in his later years lived in seclusion in Maoshan, there is a "Huayang Collection" passed down.

In addition to having sung poetry with Wei Yingwu and having met with Emperor Fuxiang in Yangzhou, there are not many poets who have interacted with Gu, and Bai Juyi is one of the lucky ones.

Sixteen-year-old Bai Juyi went to take the imperial examination, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he took the poems he had written to meet Lang Guqing. Gu Quan saw the name of "Bai Juyi" on the poem manuscript, so he joked: "Chang'an Migui, it is not easy to live in a big place!" Then I opened the poem and saw that the first poem was: "Away from the grass on the original, one year old and one year old." Wildfires burn endlessly, and spring winds blow again. I couldn't help but marvel and said: "If you can write such a poem, it will be easy to live." Later, Gu Quan often talked to others about Bai Juyi's poetic talent, praised it, and Bai Juyi's poetic name spread.

Gu rarely appeared in the secular public, and the year of his birth and death was unknown. When he was a child, he was trained by his uncle Qijue Monk, and before ascending to the jinshidi, he was obsessed with the study of Buddha, and his activities were mostly related to poets and monks and famous mountains of Buddhism. He once visited The Mountain with his friends. There are twin peaks in the mountain, also known as double peaks. Legend has it that during the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Hua Zhenren ascended to heaven and left behind here, leaving relics such as Huaxu Cave and Immortal Bed, and folklore says that this mountain has immortal qi. In 754, when the monk Jian Zhen traveled east to Japan, he was stationed here, and the monk Si Tuo of the temple arrived in Kyushu, Japan, with Jian Zhen "always crossing six times".

He once asked for the appointment of Xinting Supervisor (equivalent to Zhi County), and recommended Wang Mo, who was good at painting, to be his deputy, with the purpose of painting a huge painting about the Immortal Mountain on the Sea.

It is said that the scene of Gu Guan's painting is very spectacular: under the direction of the drums, the drum band blows the trumpet and beats the drum, and the cheerleaders of hundreds of people shout in unison. Amid drums and shouts, Gu's assistants pieced together dozens of paintings and stuck them firmly on the ground. Gu Quan wrapped a piece of brocade cloth around his head, began to drink, and then turned around the canvas for more than ten consecutive times, and when he was finished, he officially painted. Gu Quan scooped up the ink and other pigments and sprinkled them on the canvas at will, then took out a long silk cloth and placed one end on the canvas that had just been sprinkled with paint, found a person sitting on the silk cloth and pressed it, and Gu Quan dragged the other end of the silk cloth back and forth. The paint on the canvas is erased during the dragging process, and the prototype of a painting is displayed in front of everyone's eyes. Gu Quan picked up a paintbrush and sketched on it, so that the mountain peak appeared, the stream appeared, the lush trees appeared, and a large landscape painting was completed. As a poet, Gu Quan also wrote a rare six-sentence poem entitled "Over the Mountain Farmer's House": "The sound of the Banqiao people crossing the spring, the noonday chicken chirping on the day of the eaves." Mo qi roasted tea smoke dark, but like to sunshine valley sky. ”

This means that when I walk across the plank bridge across the mountain stream, the sound of a rushing spring accompanies me. When we came to the farmhouse, the sun was already shining high above the eaves, and the chickens were chirping, as if welcoming visitors. Shannon accompanied me on a tour of roasted tea and said apologetically, don't be angry that you are smoked. At the threshing ground, the mountain farmers rejoiced that they could thresh thresh on a sunny day.

This kind of poetry is difficult to write and difficult to read, but this six-word poem by Gu Quan not only writes the beauty of the peasant family and harmony, but also writes briskly and naturally, fresh and simple, and there is no sense of monotony when reading.

Gu Guan is low-key and mysterious, he told people: "A lifetime of liver and gallbladder to people, acquaintance is better than not acquaintance."
