That year, Bai Juyi returned to Chang'an, already 53 years old, and in the years since, he has lived a leisurely life of half-hidden and half-official, making appointments with Yuan Shu, Liu Yuxi and others to have a small drink, write small poems, and live a very elegant life.
One day, in the depths of winter, Chang'an City was overcast, and Bai Juyi suddenly wrote a letter to his friend Liu Nineteen on a whim.
Green ant new wine, red clay small stove.
Late to the day want snow, can drink a cup of nothing.
To the effect of saying, brother, I have prepared the wine and dishes, and I am waiting for you to drink two cups! Not only there is wine, but there are also beautiful women and flocks!
The diamond horn holds the spring, and the gu'er smears the pipa.
Red Silk dances by hand, and Purple Silk sings at will.
The words of this song "There are also moons in the small court" reveal the arrogance of Lao Bai. Lingjiao, Gu'er, Red Silk, Purple Silk are all handmaidens, probably warblers, blue silk and so on.
At that time, Bai Juyi served as a waiter in the Punishment Department, and according to the Tang Law, he could only raise three female singers at home. But the great white poet is not, he is to go beyond the standard and the specifications to raise beautiful women in order to brush up the sense of existence of the great literary heroes. His family's literary troupe at that time had hundreds of bands and singers and dancers. Whenever a guest visits, he holds a family concert and writes poems to show off and promote the beautiful singers around him.
The superstars Fan Su and Xiao Man among Bai Juyi's maids are first-class beauties. Fan Sushan song, small brute good dance, there are these two beautiful eyebrows around him to flatter and invite favors, the great poet is very proud, can't help but write the famous "cherry Fan Sukou, willow small wild waist" to praise their cherry small mouth and willow thin waist.
If it is only like this, it still does not show the old white "city will play", he wrote in the "Chasing Joy Puppet Works": "Ten years of spring crying changes the warbler's tongue, and the three suspects are old and ugly and change the moth's eyebrows." That is to say, the concubines raised in my family are changed every three years, and the "three-year elimination system" is implemented. Why? Because no matter how beautiful a woman is, after three years, she will be old and ugly. Only by constantly eliminating updates can we guarantee that the women around me will always be fresh and beautiful.
But Bai Juyi was reluctant to sell Fan Su and Xiao Man, but the years were not spared, although there were many secret recipes in the Bai family, but there was still a time when there was not enough spare energy. At this moment, Lao Bai became Bai Juyi, who pitied the world—he dismissed his maids and used food and money to let them find their own happiness. Probably at that time he remembered Xiang Ling.
When Bai Juyi was 9 years old, in order to escape the chaos in Jianzhong, he was sent by his father to Suzhou fu to live in peace. A little girl named Xiang Ling (5 years old) in the neighbor's house became his little fairy, and became his spiritual sustenance in a strange place.
At the age of 15, Xiang Ling was already a great beauty in the township, and Bai Juyi was also fascinated.
Lou Ting fifteen victories over the Heavenly Immortals, Daytime Chang'e Dryland Lotus.
Where idle parrot language is taught, before the embroidery bed under the blue screen window.
He used such verses to describe the beauty of Xiang Ling and express his love. The two flowers before the moon, the sea vows the mountain alliance, secretly have a feeling.
However, his mother looked down on the peasant girl Xiang Ling, believing that they were not in the right household, and advised each other in the past, but unfortunately Bai Juyi was a big filial piety, and the two were forced to separate, so she became his lovesickness.
The tearful eyes are cold and frozen, and they turn back every time they pass through the heights.
On the west floor after knowing goodbye, you should worry alone with the railing.
Bai Juyi thought about his Xiang Ling all the time, which was sad to be pregnant with his mother. Finally waiting for the opportunity, at the age of 29, when Baiju Yijin was inscribed, he knelt in front of his mother and wanted to marry Xiang Ling, but was categorically rejected by his mother and forced to die.
Don't cry, don't dive away
No words, dark love
No one knows outside of the two hearts.
Bai Juyi and his mother were deadlocked until the age of 37, and finally married Yang, he wrote his desperate love and feelings for Xiangling into the famous "Long Hate Song" throughout the ages, expressing the sadness that "the sky is long and sometimes ends, and this hatred is endless".
However, at the age of 44, Bai Juyi was degraded to Jiangzhou, passing through Suzhou Fuli, and they were unexpectedly reunited, feeling like a dream, Bai Juyi wrote:
I comb my white hair to add new hatred, and I sweep the moth to reduce the old appearance.
Should be strangely saddened by the people, and the teenagers should part ways and meet each other.
At this time, although Bai Juyi had already married a wife, Xiang Ling was still alone in the boudoir waiting for him. At this time, the white mother had been dead for many years, and the mountain that stood between the two of them no longer existed. But my hair is gray, and your eyebrows are wrinkled, what are you going to say? When I talk, people probably say that we are too fond of crying.
May you be a distant beast, walking shoulder to shoulder.
May it be a deep mountain tree, and the branches will be born.
The brief meeting was parting, he did not hold back, she did not look back. Until ten years later, Bai Juyi passed by Fu Li again on the way back to Beijing, and he still wanted to see Xiang Ling again, but unfortunately Xiang Ling had already seen through the red dust and escaped into the empty door. Outside the mountain gate of the Xiang Spiritual Cultivation Path, Bai Juyi should have stood for a long time.
