Heavy snow flew, and Chang'an was wrapped in a layer of poetry.
At a restaurant on Suzaku Street, three men came in. They were very dignified, chatting and laughing, and went straight to the window seats.
At a glance, these are three successful people, social elites, but if you look closely, you can see the traces of downfall from their wrinkled plain robes.
The youngest one, Gao Shi, had dark skin and, a month ago, was planting wheat in the crop fields of his hometown in Henan.
The man in the green robe was named Wang Changling, who had just done Jiangning County, and the official was meager, and he was a moonlight clan.
The older one, dressed in a white robe with a Qiang flute inserted obliquely around his waist, had resigned his post for many years and was named Wang Zhizhuo.
At this moment, the three of them sat down while arguing about a topic.
Gao Shi: "After half a day, who is the boss?" ”
Wang Zhizhuo: "Of course it's me." ”
Wang Changling stretched out his hand to stop: "I don't believe it!" ”
Shop Xiao Er smiled and walked quickly, gao Shi grabbed Xiao Er's hand:
"Come, little brother, you say, who are the three of us who is the boss?"
Shop small two hands and one hug:
"Three masters, I don't care who is the boss, I just want to know who pays?"
The three looked at each other, and the air cooled for three seconds.
Wang Changling felt out four large sums of money: "Warm a pot of wine, ask for a plate of fennel beans..."
Shopkeeper Ii: "Officer, we are not the Xianheng Hotel." ”
Gao Shi hurried to break the siege, only to see his right arm raised, his hand reaching under his robe and touching it, and he actually pulled out a wolf pen:
"The husband should be poor and lowly, and there is no wine money when they meet today." Little brother, can you get an account on credit? ”
Shop Xiao Er shook his head:
"Don't think I'm a poet and I won't dare bomb you."
During the conversation, the music of the silk bamboo drum came, and the highlight of the restaurant began, and the tulle fluttered, reflecting the graceful figure of a group of singers and prostitutes.
With a "snap", Wang Zhizhuo slapped his credit card on the table:
"Hurry up and get drunk, not bad money."
The shopkeeper retreated, and the singers and prostitutes slowly appeared.
The first to appear is the warm-up show, the pear garden girl who is more grandfatherly than the men is a juggler, the green clothes and the long sword, the tiger and the tiger have the wind.
Wang Changling took a sip of wine and proposed:
"Who is the boss, we said it doesn't count, a moment of singing prostitutes and sisters on stage, who sings more poetry, who is the boss, how?"
Gao Shi: "This is good." ”
Wang Zhizhuo laughed loudly: "Walk and see." ”
After a few glasses of wine, only to hear the whole hall drinking, whistling, a little sister stepped onto the stage.
She was dressed in tulle, her long skirt mopped the floor, her hair was tied in a high bun, and a pink peony was inserted into it, which was the most popular fashion in Chang'an.
The silk bamboo sounded, the little sister's lips were red and her teeth were white, and her voice was sad, only to hear her sing:
Cold rain and river night into Wu, Pingming sent guests to Chushan Lonely.
Luoyang relatives and friends asked each other, a piece of ice heart in the jade pot.
Before the first sentence was finished, Wang Changling poured a cup full of it, as if he were tasting wine, and like he was tasting a song, and at the end of the song, he picked up chalk and drew a neat picture on the wall:
"Me, a song."
Another young lady came on. She combed her vertebrae, covered with brocade, "light powder on her chest, warm hands with small sachets", as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was eclipsed, and she sang:
Kai zhen [qiè] tears, see the book of the day before the king.
The night platform is lonely today, just like Zi Yunju.
……
Gao Shi also drank the wine, and the laughter was wrapped in the wind and sand of the side plug:
"I'm sorry, I have one too."
A third prostitute also came on the scene, and the crowd cheered. This is an Internet celebrity, her costume is not much different from the first two, but she has an extra fan in her hand.
As soon as Tuan Fan's sister opened her mouth, Wang Changling smiled again, because she sang:
The Broom Ping Ming Golden Hall opened, and the tuan fan hovered together.
The jade face is not as good as the jackdaw color, and it is like bringing the shadow of the sun to the sun.
What an empty and lonely and cold picture, this is exactly wang Changling's fiery Chang'an Qinglou must point golden song, "Long Letter Autumn Words".
Wang Changling was even more proud, and added another one to the wall, and Chong Wang Zhizhuo said:
"Me, two."
Wang Zhizhuo was still calm, glanced at the stage, glanced at the wall, and gently spit out a word: "Vulgar! ”
"What custom?"
Wang Changling pressed the question.
"Girly."
"The laity doesn't sing your poems either."
Wang Zhizhuo finished drinking a cup, confident: "These girls have no taste, have you seen the top card?" ”
Gao Shi and Wang Changling looked down at Wang Zhizhuo's gaze, and on the side of the stage, the singer and prostitute of today's finale were about to appear.
"If this head card doesn't sing my poems, I'll admit it, and if I do, you two will kowtow to me and worship the teacher."
What kind of characters are Gao Shi and Wang Changling, the great god of biansai, who will be afraid of this? That's it.
In the cheers of the heavens, the first card slowly appeared.
This girl is dressed in white, no powder, the only bright color of the whole body is her natural lips, raising her hand gracefully, like a fairy.
The applause subsided, only to hear her, and she sang in a clear voice:
The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city of WanlingShan.
Qiang Di why should he complain about Yang Liu, the spring wind does not pass the jade door.
At the end of the song, the audience was silent, and then the applause was thunderous. This golden song is Wang Zhizhuo's "Liangzhou Words".
"Do you want to serve?"
Wang Zhizhuo asked.
Wang Changling: "Not convinced." ”
Gao Shi: "I don't believe it either, maybe it's luck." "
During the conversation, the scene of the carnival did not stop, and the crowd shouted: "One more!" One more! "
The girl sang two more songs in succession, or Wang Zhizhuo's poem.
"Do you want to serve?"
Wang Zhizhuo asked again.
"Today we both paid the bill..... Master. "
Wang Zhizhuo laughed heartily: "Today, don't pay the bill." "
Before the words could be heard, the young lady who had just been the head card had already come with the sisters, and when she came to the three of them, she bowed her head and bowed her head:
"Three brothers, can you have a drink together?"
Friends who are familiar with Tang poetry may see that the above story is called "Flag Pavilion Painting Wall", and the Flag Pavilion was the restaurant at that time.
What I want to say is that when people read this story, they are often attracted by the talents of these three men, but they don't care much about the background of the poem. In fact, this seemingly elegant poetry and wine bureau is essentially a spit conference.
We look at it one by one.
At that time, it was the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, and the Tang Dynasty was like a day in the sky, and there was no sign of decay. However, in the brocade robe with flowers, the cotton wool already has the smell of corruption.
Wang Changling's first song, called "Furong Lou Sends Xin Gradually", is a complaint against the imperial court.
As we all know, Wang Changling is a border poet, he joined the army in his twenties and practiced on the battlefield. Then to Chang'an, first pass the entrance examination, and then enter the erudite macro word subject, similar to the graduate school and then get a doctorate, quite powerful.
However, the imperial court only made him a small county lieutenant, did not give him a promotion for many years, and finally was demoted to the dragon standard of Hunan. The baby's heart is bitter.
Li Bai has a poem "Yang Hua fell to the end of the rules of the cry, smell the Dragon mark over the Five Streams." "It was written to Wang Changling, and at this time his title was Wang Longbiao." After two years in Longbiao, he was transferred to Jiangning as a county clerk. Train tickets collected a lot, just do not promote.
On the way to Jiangning to take up his post, downstairs in Zhenjiang Furong, Wang Changling was going to be separated from his friend named Xin Wei:
Dude, if a friend in Luoyang asks about me, he will say that I am a piece of ice and will not be greasy on the road.
For thousands of years, this poem is best known for these last two sentences. In fact, from the talent index, I think that "cold rain and rivers enter Wu at night, and Pingming sends guests to Chushan Lonely" is more powerful.
Cold rain and rivers, Chu Mountain isolated. This mood, your character, writing a scene can write people crying, "poet master" the head of the stage is not taken in vain.
Wang Changling is a tough guy, I don't know if he cried that day, anyway, Gao Shi really cried when he said goodbye to his friends.
Because his friend died.
This dead friend, named Liang Qia, ranked ninth in the family, Gao Shi's poem, is called "Crying Single Father Liang Jiu Shaofu".
Liang Qia is a story that is sadder than sadness.
Ten times of examination, stayed up for countless nights, finally passed the entrance examination, became a single father county lieutenant in Shandong, not long after taking office, but died of illness, the fate is very tragic.
Fortunately, he had friends like Gao Shi.
"Tears in the air, see the Book of the Day before the King." It's sad to open the bookcase and see the letter you wrote.
"The night platform is lonely today, like a son of a cloud." You must be lonely underground. Your home, like Yang Xiong's home, is deserted.
Here it is necessary to explain the "sub-cloud". Ziyun is the character of Yang Xiong, a great scholar of the Western Han Dynasty, and he has left three images to the world:
Cold, talented, poor.
Therefore, as long as the literati of later generations feel that they are Yang Xiong's physique, they will talk to him.
For example, Du Fu wrote a resume saying that he was "endowed with materials to promote the enemy, and poetry to see the son to build relatives." My talent is as powerful as Yang Xiong and Cao Zhi.
Meng Haoran complained: "The folk song is ignorant of itself, and the chaoduan lacks relatives." Who can be yang xiong, a recommendation of Ganquan endowment. "I have the same talent as Yang Xiong, but unfortunately no one introduced me."
Liu Yuxi was crushed by society, and also said things about Yang Xiong: "Nanyang Zhuge Lu, Western Shu Zi Yunting", what is ugly?
Li Bai was even more powerful, and the uncle said to him: "Chi drive, Song, whip Yang, horse." A thousand years of walking alone, for the public alone. Qu Yuan, Song Yu, Yang Xiong, and Sima Xiangru have all surpassed you!
Ziyun, the spiritual fortress of the Poets of the Tang Dynasty.
Back to Liang Qia, in this poem, Gao Shi also wrote:
It is often lu and thin, and after death, the family is poor.
The wife is far away, and there is no brother.
No power and no power, as a small official is still poor, the super large villa in zhongnan Mountain, ten thousand two gold, do not belong to Gao Shi and Liang Qia. This kind of class contradiction was not enough at that time, and it was not until more than ten years later that Du Fu wrote a golden sentence:
Zhumen wine smells of flesh, and there are frozen bones on the road.
Gao Shi cried Liang Qia, full of grooves, is it spitting out the imperial court? society? Or fate? Maybe.
Men are not easy, what about women.
It's not easy either.
Wang Changling's second poem, called "Long Letter autumn words", is a complaint of the palace women.
Reading this poem, it is necessary to first take a look at Tang Xuanzong's private life.
Bai Ju is easy to explode a material, called "harem beauty three thousand people", in fact, lao Bai is very generous, "three thousand" may be just for rhyme, from the number of points of view, that is, the number of a palace in Xingqing Palace.
Counting the Great Inner and Daming Palaces, as well as the Great Inner and Shangyang Palaces in the eastern capital of Luoyang, how many are there in total? Say it to scare you to death, concubines and palace maidens, forty thousand people.
With so many women, Of course, Xuanzong was too busy, so he invented a game rule called "Sui Di Luck".
Whichever concubine the butterfly landed on, Xuanzong stopped there.
I can write this picture, Wang Changling certainly will not write like this, he is concerned about the group that even butterflies can't see, called the court complaining women, so this kind of poetry, called palace grievance poetry.
Since the name of the poem is "Changxin Autumn Words", it is nothing more than a cover for the Changxin Palace of the Han Dynasty.
It is said that Emperor Hancheng had a concubine, called Ban Jieyu, who was favored at first, and later Emperor Hancheng empathized with other people and fell in love with Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede sisters, and Ban Jieyu entered the Changxin Palace.
Year after year, empty and lonely and cold.
It is said that Ban Jieyu wrote a "Tuan Fan Poem", the last four sentences are:
Often afraid of the autumn solstice, cool and hot.
In the midst of abandonment, grace is in the end.
She was afraid that she was like this fan, as soon as autumn came, the weather turned cold, it would not be used, discarded in the box, grace broke off.
"Long Letter Autumn Words" is actually a group of poems, and the singer sings one of them. Let's put it again, and it's easy to understand:
She lived in changxin cold palace, in the morning the temple door opened, with a broom to clean, idle, holding a tuan fan, spending a long day.
What's the use of her being pretty? Not as good as the crow. It had just flown in from the Zhaoyang Hall, still carrying the sunlight there and the breath of the king. (Zhaoyang Hall: Zhao Feiyan's residence)
Although Tang Xuanzong was much wiser than Emperor Cheng of Han, it did not prevent him from sowing resentment towards the group of concubines and concubines.
Butterflies can fly twice, crows can fly alone, and Xuanzong can fly!
Therefore, this kind of thing, Wang Changling is also very helpless, can only write so euphemistically.
Finally, "the spring breeze does not close the jade door".
This "Liangzhou Word", the status of the jianghu, the meaning of the poem does not need too much explanation, almost all the Tang poetry readers and famous masters in the past have exhausted the words of praise.
If it's a pearl, we might as well look at the background of its birth.
There has always been a controversial topic in the field of Tang history, was the Tang Xuanzong period a poor military force? This falls under the category of war motives, and we will not discuss them.
Anyway, the battle is fought, with Nanzhao, with Tubo, Turkic, Khitan, all kinds of mutual beatings, today this kneeling called Dad, tomorrow that one called your grandson again, like a game of gophers.
The war is so hard, the imperial court can do a good job of pension work.
However, it did not.
In the second half of Tang Xuanzong's life, the contradictions between the army, the people, and the imperial court became more and more acute.
Some soldiers, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, went to the north to fight, but at the age of forty they could not fight, and they were sent to the military fields on the western front.
Du Fu has a poem: "From the fifteenth north to the river, it will reach the forty west camp field." When I went, I was wrapped up with a scarf, and when I came back, my head was white. ”
It was not easy to live in the barracks: "The soldiers were half dead in the front, and the beauty was singing and dancing under the tent."
The military sister-in-law also complained: "Suddenly I saw the strange head of Yang Willow, and the repentant husband and wife were looking for a marquis."
What if the battle is dead?
I'm sorry, there is no pension, and even the government has not even sent someone to comfort me. In the late Xuanzong period, the youth hormones of the early Tang Dynasty, "rather than being a centurion, better than being a book student", plummeted.
Now look at Wang Zhizhuo's complaint, "Why should Qiang Di complain about Yang Liu, the spring wind does not pass the jade gate." "Typical Spring and Autumn brushwork:
O brothers on the front line, what is the use of you blowing that gloomy and mournful "Willow Song" all day long! The king's spring wind cannot blow there.
There are two sides to the conversation. Spit is complaining, but these spits are the sexiest light of Datang.
From this point of view, spitting is the first productive force of Tang poetry.
The opening spit meeting is recorded in the "Biography of Tang Caizi", and at the end, the author only says that Wang Zhizhuo is too crazy.
I can irresponsibly tell you that the real ending goes like this:
The three talents were poured into the VIP private room by this group of singers and prostitutes, all kinds of free orders, asking for signatures, asking for new poems, asking for belts, and once again establishing Wang Zhizhuo's status as the eldest brother.
The three of them were drunk for one night, singing and dancing. Before leaving, Wang Changling pulled the top sister aside:
Girl, "Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan", do you want to understand it?
