"The Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun to send me love. "You must know that the characters in Li Bai's poems are either rich or expensive, and they are celebrities who have been passed down for thousands of years.
And Wang Lun's identity at that time was just a small county order, how much money did he "reward" Li Bai to be able to enter the poem and leave a name for eternity?
A "scam"
Li Bai has traveled all over the world in his life, and he has only two favorites: one is to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world, and the other is to taste the best wine in the world.
In 754, Li Bai came to Anhui to visit his relatives.
At this time, he received a letter from a man named Wang Lun. The letter reads: "Sir is so traveling, there are ten miles of peach blossoms here; There are 10,000 hotels here. ”
Li Bai, who received the letter, was really moved and immediately set off to Wang Lun.
Seeing the idol in his heart, Wang Lun was so excited that his hands and feet softened. But soon, his heart was filled with guilt - because there was no beauty described in the letter.
The so-called "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is just a place called "Peach Blossom Pond" ten miles away, and "Ten Thousand Hotels" is just a tavern with a boss surnamed Wan.
It turned out that this was just a lie from Wang Lun, and the purpose was to deceive Li Bai to come over.
Li Bai is arrogant and calls himself a "wine fairy", even if he is summoned by the Son of Heaven, he may not go to the appointment. How can an ordinary person lead him to a banquet?
Wang Lun knew that it was hopeless to invite Li Bai directly, and he had to take some extraordinary measures.
However, Li Bai didn't care, but thought this Wang Lun was very interesting. If you come here, you can just stay here for a few days.
Wang Lun, who made a generous shot
In a few days in Jing County, Wang Lun did his best to entertain Li Bai, and the two drank and wrote poems every day, quite drunk and dreaming of death.
A few days later, seeing that Wang Lun's enthusiasm was increasing unabated, Li Bai also felt embarrassed to bother again, so he wanted to leave quietly.
Who knows, just when his ship was just leaving the shore, he suddenly heard singing on the shore, and it turned out that Wang Lun was singing and dancing on the shore with his family and servants to see him off.
When Li Bai saw this scene, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart anymore. He landed on the shore to say goodbye to Wang Lun, but he didn't expect Wang Lun to give a generous gift again: eight BMW horses and ten brocades.
Among them, BMW was an extremely luxurious means of transportation in the Tang Dynasty, and only high-ranking officials and nobles were eligible to own it. An ordinary horse is only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and the price of a BMW starts at least 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 50-600,000 yuan today.
And Wang Lun sent not one or two horses, but as many as eight. This was definitely a luxury consumption at the level of the emperor's relatives at that time.
Looking at the ten brocades again, it shows Wang Lun's bearing.
In the Tang Dynasty, only high-ranking officials and nobles could wear brocade. Wang Lun gave Li Bai ten paragraphs, which shows his magnanimity. It is estimated that the total value of this batch of brocades is more than several hundred thousand yuan.
Taken together, the total value of Wang Lun's gift this time is at least about one million yuan.
Even now, it can be said to be a great luxury.
Where does the general county order have such financial resources to give this generous gift, it can be seen that Wang Lun is really extraordinary.
Wang County, who has a prominent family background
Although Wang Lun was a small county magistrate in Jing County in the Tang Dynasty, his family background was very prominent. Wang Lun's ancestor Wang Hua was an important hero during the founding of the Tang Dynasty, posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Yueguo, and had a lofty status.
Wang Hua served as a loyal general during the Tang Taizong period, assisted the government, and even supported tens of thousands of soldiers, which shows that the power was tilted towards the government and the opposition at that time. Wang Hua has made outstanding contributions, and future generations have naturally been well taken care of.
Until Wang Lun's generation, the family was still prosperous.
Wang Lun could have had a smooth career by virtue of his family background, but he didn't like to study for exams and struggle for officialdom, but preferred to travel around and make friends.
He is an official just to pass the time, not to seek fame and fortune. Talking and laughing with literati and artists after work every day has become a leisure time.
Jing County under Wang Lun's rule thus became a meeting place for literati and scholars. Whatever the bachelor asks, he will do his best.
Someone asked to order a rare treasure, and Wang Lun would send people to look for it all over the world; Someone asked to taste exotic wines, and Wang Lun would pay tribute from afar; Someone asked to hire a well-known kabuki, and Wang Lun would not hesitate.
Because of this, Wang Lun is very popular in the literati circle, and many masters regard him as a confidant. This also laid the groundwork for him to get acquainted with Li Bai later.
A county magistrate who is willing to fight crazy money to please the literati happens to meet a poet who only wants to be free, and the encounter between the two is a matter of course.
Wang Lun's parting gift moved Li Bai even more, and immediately wrote the famous "Gift to Wang Lun" with ink.
"The Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun to send me love. Li Bai used simple words to describe Wang Lun's warm hospitality to him in the past few days, as well as the growing friendship between the two.
You can get a few confidants in life
The acquaintance of Li Bai and Wang Lun is like a cherry blossom in spring, although it is gorgeous but fleeting.
In 757, Li Bai came to Taohuatan again, but Wang Lun was nowhere to be seen. After a little inquiry this time, Li Bai learned that Wang Lun had been immortal for a long time.
Upon learning of the death of his best friend, Li Bai was grief-stricken. He came to Wang Lun's grave, inscribed poems on the tombstone to express his sorrows, and wrote two articles "Farewell to Wang's Family" to remember this bosom friend.
Li Bai and Wang Lun, although they only got along for a short time, they left a good story for the ages. As the saying goes, the mountains and rivers meet the bosom friend, and their friendship has turned into the eternal spring in the peach blossom pool.
Although my generation has never met in this life, we can also feel the deep affection of thousands of years ago through words.
