In the ninth year of the Sui Kai Emperor (589), Wang Ji was born in a large family in Daizhou, and Wang Ji once said in his autobiography that his family was "practical and confucian, and how high the people were", which was enough to see Wang Ji's family lineage. His father, Wang Long, was a sui dynasty guozi doctor, and his older brother Wang Tong was a great educator of the Sui dynasty, known as "Wen Zhongzi". There were seven Brother Wang Ji, several of whom had served as officials in the court or became scholars. Wang Ji also entered the army three times, but retreated three times, wandering between the shi and the hidden, so that his poetry was often filled with a taste of sorrow. Wang Ji often used to drink alcohol to dilute the bitterness in his heart, Wang Ji was good at drinking and good at winemaking, and he had also written some articles about winemaking, but unfortunately they had all been lost.
Wang Ji's representative poems
Wang Ji's representative poems include "Wild Hope" and "Autumn Night Happy To Meet wang virgin", he was born earlier than the early Tang Dynasty Sijie, and he was good at five-word poetry, so Wang Ji is considered to be the founder of the five-word poetry of the Tang Dynasty. "Wild Hope" and "Autumn Night Happy To Meet the King's Virgin" are both written when Wang Jifu is idle at home, and the verses are clear and simple and natural.

Tang Wang Ji
Donggao looked at the twilight and leaned on what he wanted.
The trees are all autumn colors, and the mountains are only falling.
Shepherds drive calves back, and hunting horses bring birds back.
Looking at each other without acquaintance, long song Huai Tse-wei.
This poem describes the scenery of the autumn wilderness, although it is leisurely and interesting, it exudes a bit of sadness and bitterness, and the tone of the poem gives people a gray and dark feeling. Wang Jisheng, in a family that respected Confucianism, was influenced by Confucianism since childhood, and he hoped that he could become an official who governed the country and the country, but he was always a subordinate, too far away from the center of power, so that he was always depressed in his grass-roots posts, and he returned to the countryside after several dismissals, and naturally had complicated emotions in his heart that were difficult to reconcile.
Donggao is where the poet Wang Ji lived after his resignation, and he also called himself "Donggaozi". On the autumn evening in Donggao, the poet looked around and wondered where he was going. The woods are dyed late autumn colors, and the mountains are sprinkled with the afterglow of the setting sun. The psalmist saw the herders driving their cattle home, and those who returned from hunting were immediately filled with prey. With these people passing by, but none of them know, the loneliness in their hearts can only be dispelled by singing, and they yearn for a secluded and peaceful life.
Autumn night is a happy encounter with the king virgin
The north field is gone, and the east is returned.
When the autumn moon is full, it is more worth the night of the fireflies.
It is autumn again, the poet Wang Ji went out to participate in autumn agricultural activities, and hoeing beans and cutting iron seemed to be a beautiful embellishment of rural life in Wang Ji, who had a good life. In the autumn night, when they meet old friends, the two talk happily, and the stars and fireflies at night add to the comfort and tranquility of rural life.
Wang Ji Sanshi San cain
In the twentieth year of the Sui Kai Emperor (600), when Wang Ji was eleven years old, he went to Chang'an to pay respects to the extremely prestigious minister Yang Su, and Wang Ji talked in front of all the officials, leaving a deep impression on the secretaries of state present at that time, and everyone called him a "child prodigy fairy". In the first year of Daye (605), Wang Jiju was filial and honest, and awarded the secretary the provincial orthography. The Secretary Province Zhengzi is a small official in the Secretary Province who is responsible for handling daily affairs, which makes Wang Ji a little disappointed and far from his ideals.
When he first entered the secretarial province, Wang Ji was a bit sluggish, often drinking at home, and did not have the heart to become an official in the imperial court. After serving as a secretary for a while, Wang Ji requested to be released, and he was appointed as a county clerk in Liuhe County, serving as a civilian official under the county commander. Of course, this did not meet Wang Ji's expectations, and in the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Ji was impeached and dismissed. This is Wang Ji's first entry and exit.
The Sui Dynasty collapsed, and the Li clan from the Guanlong military clique ascended to the pinnacle of power. The new regime recruited talents, and Wang Ji was once again recalled to the imperial court and served as a minor official in the "former Liuhe County" (former Liuhe County) under the Zhao men province. In the last years of WuDe's reign, the struggle for power and profit spread in the DPRK, and Wang Ji was keenly aware that this might involve himself in a whirlpool of unpredictable consequences, and he claimed that he was seriously ill and pleaded for resignation and return to his hometown. After the second dismissal, Wang Ji fell into a relaxed position.
Back in the countryside, the days of peace have continued. Tang Taizong Li Shimin won the final victory, the rule of Zhenguan slowly unfolded like a picture scroll, Wang Ji always had some distrust of the Li Tang royal family, always felt that their cultural accumulation was shallow, probably thinking that they did not have their own deep knowledge. With some disdain, and finding that everything was developing in the direction of prosperity during the Zhenguan years, his enthusiasm for embodying his political ambitions once again surged into his heart. Wang Ji claimed to be poor in his family and entered the army in order to alleviate the family's plight, so he was awarded the position of Yousi. The struggle between the DPRK and China exists at every moment, Wang Ji has already seen through it, heard that Taile Shijiaoge is good at brewing, Wang Ji wants to be demoted to Jiao Ge's side to be a Taile Cheng, which can be saddened by the officials of the official department, who took the initiative to ask for demotion, could not resist Wang Ji's begging, the official department agreed to Wang Ji's request, let him do Taile Cheng.
Perhaps this is the happiest period of wang ji's many years as an official, jiaoge winemaking technology is first-class, so that Wang Ji can often drink sweet wine. Unexpectedly, Jiao Ge died, but Jiao Ge's wife still sent wine for Wang Ji, and Jiao Ge's wife only sent wine for Wang Ji for more than a year and then died. This made Wang Ji very sad, and he cried out, "Can't heaven let me drink wine?" At this time, Wang Ji was already more than fifty years old, and once again resigned from the government and returned to his hometown. This was The last time Wang Ji became an official or resigned.
From then on, Wang Ji never became an official again, lived in seclusion in his hometown, and immersed himself in the study of winemaking technology. Wang Ji was very eager for the life of the famous scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties, Tao Yuanming and Ji Kang were his idols, and although Wang Ji indulged in poetry and wine like the Famous Men of Wei and Jin, he did not have the courage of the Famous Men of Wei and Jin to dare to confront those in power.
Wang Ji's official eunuch career has fluctuated several times, but he has been hovering in a low official position. This is related to his lack of trust in the Li Tang Dynasty, and also to his own contradictory personality. Returning to the township, the ambition in Wang Ji's heart was not realized, and looking at the autumn colors, his subjective feelings made the autumn colors more solemn.
After returning to his hometown, Wang Ji also helped one of his brothers Wang Ning to continue to write the unfinished "Book of Sui", perhaps Wang Ji was too greedy for fine wine and did not fully devote himself to writing the book, and this "Book of Sui" was still not completed under Wang Ji's pen.
brief summary
Wang Ji was born into a large family, and was brilliant and knowledgeable from an early age. It is precisely because of his origin that he has the possibility of reaching the upper class, but because he cannot integrate well with the political situation at that time, he has lost the opportunity to rise again and again. Wine became an integral part of his life, drinking when he was happy and drinking when he was frustrated. Under the action of alcohol, Wang Ji experienced a kind of liberation and release. Wang Ji's younger brother once asked him, is it happy to be a ruler? Wang Ji said that this official position is really nostalgic for sending three buckets of wine every day.
Wang Ji's contradictory personality did not make him smooth in his career, but this did not prevent him from becoming a brilliant poet, he injected emotion into poetry, and the fresh and natural style also had a certain influence on later poets.
