The fate of literati and prostitutes is actually very similar, one spends his life looking for the Holy Lord, the other spends his life looking for a good person, and when he can't find it, he has to use the wind and the waves to be his own protective color.
The history of China is more like a history written for men, and the men in the book either gain strength from ideals or get inspiration from women. Both of these, we all call the wind current.
Ten years of Yangzhou dream, won the Qinglou Bo fortunate name.
Tang Dynasty, Qinglou, Caizi, Melancholy, Freedom. History has put these five keywords together with Du Mu, making him the most famous prostitute in Chinese history. Or the wind?
Bookish scent, medicinal smell
Du Mu's childhood has two smells.
The first is the scent of books.
Du Mu's grandfather, Du You, was not only a famous tang dynasty minister, but also a major in the "General Classics", but also created a precedent for Chinese historiography. His father also became a close minister of the prince because of his profound knowledge, and Du Mu said that he was "full of ten thousand books" and "two hundred family collections", which was definitely not bragging.
The second smell is the smell of medicine.
His father, Du Congyu, was weak and sick since he was a child, and since Du Mu remembered, he had been taking medicine and trying medicine, but he still died when Du Mu was 15 years old.
When his father died, his grandfather had been dead for 5 years, the tree fell and scattered, and the huge Du clan soon separated the family, and Du Mu received more than 30 properties under his name.
But the nerd Du Mu, who can only read, will not do anything else, sit and eat the mountain, and finally end up with no place to stand.
Although the Du family had many prominent relatives, no one was willing to help. Du Mu's old maid was starved to death; the young servant, even more in front of them, ran away with a few things in his arms.
In the end, Du Mu had to live with his mother and his young brother in the family temple, eat wild vegetables, and live with rats, so that nearly ten years passed.
It wasn't until he was 25 that he met the first noble man in his life.
The madman knows the prodigal son
At that time, Cui Hao served as the chief examiner of the imperial examination that year, and for a time became the person who everyone wanted to curry favor with. Before leaving, the hundred officials sent him off with wine, and he was drinking happily, when a man at the door suddenly rode a donkey with a fat head and big ears.
The person who came was named Wu Wuling, who was a well-known madman in the dynasty, and Cui Hao was about to choose talents for the Holy Lord, and he had to make an example of such a well-known person.
Cui Hao invited him to his home, and before he could begin to greet him, Wu Wuling took out a roll of manuscript paper:
"The other day I was wandering around Taixue and saw a group of students gathered around and praising an article. I took a look at it, and sure enough, the response was different, aren't you going to choose talents for the country? I'm here to ask you for a prize! ”
Wu Wuling hadn't just eaten garlic when he came, and how he opened his mouth, he had such a big breath.
Cui Hao took it over, and the more he looked at it, the more he broke into a cold sweat:
"Woohoo! Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms, the Six Kingdoms also, not Qin Also. The qin of the clan, qin also, not the world also. ...... The Qin people do not have time to mourn for themselves, and the posterity mourns; the posterity mourns and does not learn from it, and also makes the posterity mourn the future generations. ”
This article is well written, but the words are too sharp, and through the matter of qin's death, it satirizes the great construction of the holy land today, and it is really not known whether to live or die.
After Cui Hao saw it, he had to say to Wu Wuling, "There are already people in Zhuangyuan." ”
Wu Wuling was not dead-hearted: "Then the third place!" ”
Cui Hao replied, "There are people too." ”
Wu Wuling was anxious: "Then the fifth head office is gone!" ”
Cui Hao looked embarrassed and did not know how to answer well. Wu Wuling was angry: "Forget it! In that case, you give me back the article! ”
Cui Hao reluctantly said, "Okay, okay, just do what you say." ”
This article, which is worth making Wu Wuling, a madman, soft and hard, is Du Mu's "A Fang Gong Fu".
Back at the table, Cui Hao said to the guests: "Just now Wu Taixue recommended Du Mu as the fifth place in the new branch. ”
Everyone heard that their faces were longer than horses: "That's a notorious prodigal son!" Misconduct! ”
Cui Hao said helplessly: "I have promised, even if he is a pig killer and a liquor seller now, he can't change it." ”
The next year, Du Mu was thus "admitted" to the jinshi.
Like a rafter, he wrote poetry only for prostitutes
The word Qinglou originally only referred to those high-rise buildings with gorgeous carvings, but because of Du Mu, it became synonymous with brothels.
In the beginning, Du Mudang's Hongbunkan school secretary was doing the work of proofreading books every day, and the days were idle but boring.
When shen chuanshi, an old friend, was appointed as an observer in Jiangxi and threw an olive branch to Du Mu, Du Mu abandoned the Beijing officials that everyone could not ask for, and ran to serve as an aide to Shen Chuanshi.
Here, he met Zhang Haohao.
The first time I met Zhang Haohao, it was in Shen Chuanshi's music team. Thirteen years old is good, not only out of the water out of the hibiscus, but also a warbler song, gentle and moving.
Du Mu, like many literati, regarded prostitutes as elegant. But Du Mu was very different from them, since ancient times, he was probably the only one who really pitied prostitutes as confidants, rather than as crops.
Just when a group of ronin on the table could not move on the good body for a moment with a flirtatious eye, Du Mu wanted to marry her.
Good seems to have an interest in him too.
But just when he plucked up the courage to speak to Shen Chuanshi, Shen Chuanshi's was transferred away by the imperial court, and Du Mu went elsewhere with him for a year, waiting until two years later to see each other, Zhang Haohao, who had already been taken by Shen Chuanshi's younger brother Shen Shushi and adopted as a concubine.
Many years later, Du Mu met Zhang Haohao on the streets of Luoyang. Zhang Haohao was already half old, and Shen Shushi was tired of playing with her, so he abandoned her dead or alive.
She sold liquor on the street, consuming her last bit of posture and former fame, pretending not to understand the ill intentions of the men who came to buy wine, and selling wine with a smile and stealing life.
As soon as they met, Zhang Hao smiled at Du Mu: "How come your hair and beard are white at a young age?" ”
Du Mu didn't say anything, just suddenly cried like a child, and he wrote a long poem for her, but in the poem, he didn't say what he was thinking about.
The most memorable thing in my life is Yangzhou
Du Mu followed Shen Chuanshi as an aide for several years, and because of his literary name, the niu monks and children, the head of the Niu Sect, one of the two major factions in the DPRK and China, took a fancy to Du Mu and dragged him to Yangzhou to do the imperial history of supervision.
But when he Du Mu was supervising the imperial history in Yangzhou, he didn't do anything, and he was visiting the Qinglou all day long.
Once, when a local official left, he feasted on the old ministry at home. When everyone was drunk and hot, they didn't expect Du Mu to suddenly come and wake up the wine.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a ban that officials could not set up banquets at home. Du Mu, as the inspector of imperial history, was to supervise the words and deeds of hundreds of officials for the emperor, and once impeached, everyone would not be protected.
Everyone was thinking about how to settle this matter, but du Mu himself took the initiative to say: "I heard that in your family's music trick team, there is a person with a superior posture, and this official only needs that singer and prostitute." ”
That night, Du Mu happily took the prostitute away.
Yangzhou is a good place, good in the Qinglou Song Hall more, every night falls, the beauty of the incense floor, they will hang down their own fragrant towels, smoked tourists intoxicated.
Du Mu did not have a single night, but rested at his own home.
Two years later, Chang'an sent a paper transfer order to transfer Du Mu back to be a Beijing official again. Before leaving, the cattle monks and children set up a feast for him. After a few glasses of wine, the cow monks and children suddenly said to him: "After returning to Beijing, your behavior should still be checked, don't always linger in the Qinglou and affect your career." ”
At first, Du Mu also had to argue: "I am not so absurd, at least I have not humiliated you." ”
Did you know that the cow monk and the child smiled and took out a box, and in the box, it was all du Mu's daily where he went in Yangzhou, how long he stayed, and who he traveled with.
It turned out that the cattle monks and children sent more than thirty soldiers to disguise themselves into plain clothes every day, quietly followed Du Mu, and reported their whereabouts to the cattle monks and children. Whether it is surveillance or care, this makes people break out in a cold sweat.
After leaving Yangzhou, his old friend Han Wei wrote to him: "Don't come, tianzi's feet, there should be a lot to do, right?" ”
Du Mu did not say anything, only replied with a poem:
The green mountains are hidden by the water, and the grass in jiangnan has not withered in autumn.
On the night of the bright moon on the Twenty-Fourth Bridge, where the jade people taught to blow the flute.
The most memorable thing for me is Yangzhou. There are bright moons, bridges, jade people, and wind and snow moons that make people forget their worries.
In fact, why did Du Mu, a high-ranking official of the past, not know that his behavior was debauched and unfavorable to his promotion? But state affairs were no longer possible, and the closer he got to the Bulls, the more likely he was to die in political struggles.
Li Pai has already taken away three prime ministers in a row, the Niu Pai Building will fall, the change of Ganlu has just washed Chang'an in blood, and it is born in a chaotic world, and perhaps the Qinglou is the safest place.
Therefore, when he arrived in the capital, Du Mu was still as absurd as ever.
Bingbu Shangshu Li Yuan, a livestock singer and prostitute, was the first in the number at that time. He liked to summon luoyang celebrities to his house for singing, dancing, and feasting, but he didn't want to call Du Mulai because he was too ridiculous.
Once, Li Yan held a banquet again, and Du Mu quietly conveyed to Li Yan that he was going to participate in the grand meeting, and Li Yan had to agree.
Sure enough, Du Mu drank three glasses of wine and asked Li Yuan, "I heard that there is a person named Ziyun, whose posture is the first, I don't know which one?" ”
Li Yuan pointed, and Du Mu looked at it and said, "Sure enough, it is worthy of the name, but I don't know if you can give it to me to dissipate?" As soon as these explicit words came out, everyone present was embarrassed and fidgety, and even the singers and prostitutes withdrew from the scene on their own.
Li Wish saw that since he was so open-minded, he could only smile and agree.
In this way, Du Thirteen's absurd reputation became more and more smelly in the capital, and eventually the Niu and Li factions no longer despised him.
Autumn niang is old, and the mountains and rivers are falling
In Jinling City, there is a music trick named Du Qiu Niang, who is a kabuki in the house of The Festival Envoy Li Kun.
After the defeat of Li Kui's army, all his family members were not official slaves. At a banquet, Qiu Niang sang her self-created "Golden Robe", which captured the heart of Xianzong, who named her QiuFei.
Just when the days were sweet and quiet, Xianzong was poisoned by the eunuchs, qiu niang and the prime minister conspired to take revenge, but the plan was revealed, and qiu niang was stripped of her citizenship and returned to Jinling.
In Jinling, she met Du Mu.
Du Mu has met countless women in his life, and the world only said that he was an absurd prodigal son, but in front of Qiu Niang, his heart that was born in the last days and had no way to serve the country was truly revealed.
He remembered that when Emperor Xianzong of the "Little Taizong" was there, he tried his best to govern, and the Tang Dynasty was suddenly refreshed, and the disciples were excited.
At that time, Du Mu almost stopped the love poems of those warblers and swallows, he wrote a lot of political discussions, gave advice for the frontier war, and the world said that he was majestic and heroic, imposing, and had the courage to carry a gun to the horse and carry the jade dragon to die for the king.
But all this was shattered with the violent death of Emperor Xianzong.
Du Mu, again, did the Bo Xing Du Thirteen.
He no longer lamented yuhuan's mistake in the country: "A red dust concubine laughs, no one knows that it is a lychee coming",
He missed the days when "the spring wind is ten miles yangzhou road, and it is better to roll up the bead curtain";
Laughed at himself for "ten years of Yangzhou dream, won the Qinglou Bo xing name" .
He and prostitutes are mostly dewy love, although occasionally he has revealed the affection of "candles have the heart to say goodbye, and weep for people until dawn".
In fact, literati and prostitutes are so similar.
The literati spent their whole lives seeking to meet the Holy King, to bring their talents and goods to the Imperial Family. Prostitutes, in their best years, show off their posture, ask to meet a lover, redeem themselves, and teach their husbands and children to grow old.
Du Mu has been looking for various opportunities all his life to see if he can show his ambitions, but in the end he can't find it, and he doesn't want to participate in the struggle against his heart and crush the country, so he can only hide in the Qinglou.
Although Du Mu had countless prostitutes in his life and did not have any moving love stories, in fact, he was not so asshole.
When he was an official in Jiangnan, he once had a crush on a thirteen-year-old boat woman, because he was still young, Du Mu and her mother agreed that after ten years, he would return here to become an official and marry again.
Unexpectedly, after thirteen years, Du Mu could return. When he returned, he did not forget the agreement, but when he summoned the mother and daughter, he found that the woman had already married and had a second son.
Before Du Mu died, he dreamed that someone had inscribed four words for him, "Kyaukyao White Colt.". When he woke up, he thought that the life of a white colt might come to an end.
At this time, just as the servant came to report, the pot that was cooking rice suddenly cracked, and a pot of rice was all cooked into sandwich rice.
Feeling that the limit was approaching, he wrote an epitaph, probably the worst article in his life, and then burned most of his poems.
After a lifetime of absurdity, he finally died in a serious way.
He was like Daiyu thousands of years later, he couldn't dream and couldn't court, so he chose to return in a bare stripe.
Legend has it that after his death, Zhang Haohao came to his grave and committed suicide, but he was left alive. The wish that was not fulfilled in his lifetime, I hope that he will be fulfilled after death.
