When we think of literati, we think of elegance or talent, but there is a literati who cannot fight with the eight rods of elegance, but is famous for "customary".
This person is the Northern Song Dynasty poet Liu Yong.
How vulgar is he?
The lexicographer's evaluation of him is as follows: "shallow and vulgar" and "abominable voice", which is almost directly pointed at the nose and scolded.
Wang Guowei, a famous modern lexicographer, insisted on assigning his famous phrase "the belt gradually widens and there is no regret in the end, and the people are haggard for Yi Que" to Ouyang Xiu, on the grounds that how could someone as cheesy as Liu Yong write such a realmed word?
What did Liu Yong do to get so much "sincere" disgust?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the passage of wind</h1>
The most criticized part of Liu Yong's life is that he made the Qinglou his home.
When he was about 18 years old, Liu Yong entered Hangzhou for the Beijing Examination, and was attracted by the hustle and bustle of Hangzhou, and was attracted by the beautiful singing voice and beautiful posture of the singers.
Since then, the gentle township of fat powder has become his veritable hometown.
There are many red pink confidants who have appeared in his words, such as: Chen Shishi, Zhao Xiangxiang, Xu Dongdong, Xie Yuying and Worm Niang.
Day by day, the ears are grinding, and there are naturally many poems that focus on the singers and prostitutes. The "Whole Song Ci" contains more than two hundred words by Liu Yong, of which there are more than 100 words about singers and prostitutes.
Not only that, he often imagined himself as a woman, depicting their feelings and mentality. =
He expressed the lingering emotions of his daughter's family delicately and movingly, and the jokes in the boudoir often appeared in his words.
His words are straightforward and clear, and he also integrates the colloquial language of some citizens' lives, turning the Yangchun white snow, which was originally only the exclusive of literati and scholars, into a popular song that everyone can catch, so there is "wherever there is well water, there are willow words".
Self-cultivation and family governance are the self-restraint rules of countless readers.
Liu Yong's unbridled arrogance is precisely the "ironclad evidence" that later generations have evaluated him as "thinner than conduct" and "under the dust of words", and he has not even achieved the first "self-cultivation", how can he be recognized by the orthodox literati?
As a result, he received a personal dislike from the then highest official, Song Renzong.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the exam room</h1>
For the first time, Liu Yong confidently went to take the imperial examination, thinking that it was just a bag. As a result, it was repeatedly checked on the list, but it was not named on the list.
At that time, Liu Yong, who was young and vigorous, wrote a famous poem "Crane Soaring Sky and Gold List".
The troubles of young people come and go quickly, and it is not a big deal to not pass the exam once, it is not a big deal to repeat the study for a year, and his confidence in himself has never diminished as always.
Sure enough, the following year, Liu Yong's examination papers were appreciated by the examiners and sent to Song Renzong.
Song Renzong frowned when he looked at the name: "Is this the Liu San change of 'endure the floating name and change the shallow and low singing'?" ”
The minister was almost scared to death, but fortunately Emperor Renzong was generous and did not blame the minister, but wrote on the examination paper with a pen: "And go to shallow and low singing, why do you need to float your name?" ”
Since then, Liu Yongshi's journey has no hope.
The reason for this is also in the song "Crane Soaring into the Sky", which begins with the writing that "on the gold list, the occasional loss of dragon head hope, the Ming Dynasty temporarily left the sage, how to go." ”
He said that his failure to fall on the list was not due to his poor ability, and that he was not admitted, but a loss to the imperial court.
Song Renzong was naturally not pleased, and Liu Yong was helpless, claiming to be the "white-clothed Qingxiang" who was personally sealed by the emperor, and continued to linger in the flowers.
In the end, this song "Crane Soaring into the Sky" is just a fuse.
Liu Yong made a lot of fragrant words in the Qinglou, it was difficult to climb the elegant hall, and his words were extremely well recited, even Song Renzong above the temple was familiar with it, and naturally he had already judged the famous Liu Yong in his heart.
But neither Liu Yong's bohemian personality nor his wandering behavior in the flowers was the orthodox and positive Song Renzong considered to be a good way to govern the country.
After a brief period of depression, Liu Yong continued to take the imperial examination in good spirits, but never won the list again.
It was not until the death of Song Renzong and the twilight of Liu Yong that he was able to go to high school and serve as a county commander in Yuhang, and later served as a tuntian member wailang, known as "Liutuntian".
They are all minor official positions, but they only say that they have finally fulfilled the long-cherished wishes of the readers.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > does not reduce the heights of the Tang Dynasty</h1>
And life is a coin, there are positive and negative. If Liu Yong's life is only like this, how did he become a representative poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, and how did he gain big V fans such as Su Shi and Zhou Bangyan?
Liu Yong wrote a lot of vulgar words, but that does not mean that he can only write vulgar words.
He wrote "Wanghai Tide" is well known, "Southeast Shape Victory, Three Wu Metropolis, Qiantang Prosperous since Ancient Times" imitates the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, and today it is like a picture of the great Song Dynasty slowly unfolding in front of the eyes.
Legend has it that it is because of this song that the golden lord finished Yan Liang, which stimulated his enthusiasm for waving the whip to the south.
His bondage poem "Eight Voices of Ganzhou" begins with two sentences: "Sprinkle the river and the sky with the rain at dusk, and wash away the autumn." The frost and wind are tight, the Guanhe river is cold, and the building is left behind. ”
Together, the pen depicts the realm of "ascending to the longitudinal eye and looking at the end of the world", followed by a sudden and poignant, severe and sad atmosphere, and at this point, the artistic conception is all out.
At that time, the great literary hero Su Shi praised this poem, saying that it "does not reduce the heights of the Tang people".
Wang Guowei was even disdainful of Liu Yong's personality and beautiful words, but he also said: "The long-tuned words are Zhou, Liu, Xin, and Su as the most... The willow word "Eight Voices ganzhou" Su word "water tune song head" is even more high and ancient, and cannot be discussed in a long tone. ”
Liu Yong's talent allows him to vividly describe the life of the city, the women of the Qinglou, and he can also use high-style elegant words.
Popularity has given his words a broad mass base, and ya words truly reflect his talent that is not inferior to anyone.
In fact, Liu Yong is a common word that can be easily described.
Not only does he have a solid talent, but his interaction with the singers is not a wandering child's sexual encounter, but a true heart-to-heart fellowship.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > win the Name of Qinglou Bo Xing</h1>
Liu Yong's four imperial examinations all ended in failure, and the soul that had been hurt again and again in his career was dissolved in the gentle soft words of the confidant.
Therefore, in his words, there is no frivolous teasing, only respect and sympathy for women.
This kind of attitude was extremely rare at that time.
In feudal society, Ge Ji was nothing more than an appendage of men, a status symbol.
Bai Juyi's famous pet concubine Fan Su was pampered, and thus there was a poem of "Cherry Fan Sukou", which became an allusion to the beauty of women in later generations.
But even so, when Bai Juyi had an economic crisis, Fan Su was just a bargaining item.
Jia Ji is still like this, not to mention the dusty woman who leans on the building to sell laughter.
Liu Yong, who grew up in Confucian culture, is also one of countless readers, eager to embark on a career path and shine on the lintel.
The down-and-out Liu Yongzhong is full of talent, and the Qinglou women who sell laughter to survive are already "the same fallen people in the end of the world", coupled with a long time with them, he is even more sympathetic to the women's inner bitterness and lack of support.
In Liu Yong's pen, they are living souls with flesh and blood, so that the world can understand and approach them, and treat them with equal eyes.
In the era of male superiority and inferiority, equal respect is an unattainable luxury for them.
But Liu Yong gave them, and they reaped their true hearts, not so much that Liu Yong was a prodigal son, but rather that he and the singers and prostitutes were actually hugging each other for warmth and fighting against the cold eyes of the world.
Therefore, there is "I do not want the king to call, I wish to get the seven willows; I don't want a thousand gold, I want to get the seven hearts of the willows; I don't want the gods to see, I want to know the seven faces of the willow." ”
The wind and dust woman, who is most accustomed to seeing the coldness of human nature, loves Liu Yong alone, because of talent, but also because of the sincerity and respect after talent.
It is said that when Liu Yong died, he was so poor that he did not even have a burial fee, or the red-faced confidants in the Qinglou each took out fat powder money, raised it, and buried him.
What is even more peculiar is that when sending Liu Yong out of the funeral, what people see is not crying and weeping, dressed in white, but a group of women traveling in full costume, singing the words that Liu Yong wrote for them.
It was as if it wasn't a funeral, but an outing.
They are worthy of Liu Yong's confidants, and they know that in Liu Yong's heart, what they want to see most is their smiling faces.
Liu Yong's life is a life of contradictions. His only favorites in his life were poetry and red pink, and the reputation of his predecessors and even in later generations was also related to this.
He may be vulgar, he may be elegant. But so what, how can his desolate and unchanging warmth make people not love his vivid and real unique appearance?
