As we all know, in addition to dealing with political affairs, the emperors of ancient China occasionally wrote a few poems to express emotions. Among them, the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty can be called the crown of all the emperors of all dynasties, and composed more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime. Unfortunately, the Qianlong Emperor's level was not good, and of the more than 40,000 poems, only one was selected for primary school textbooks. And Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, had no culture, and his poems were also few, but "Song of the Great Wind" has been praised to this day. Like Liu Bang, Emperor Wufu, there are still several in history, and Shi Jun will come to introduce you to the interesting things about their poetry.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > half of a poem by Song Taizu</h1>
Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, was born as a general, and his father Zhao Hongyin was the commander of the Later Zhou Protector Saint Capital. In the early years of the Later Han Dynasty, when he traveled to a temple in Xiangyang, he met an old monk who was proficient in numerology. The old monk not only passed on a set of boxing techniques to him, but also instructed him to set off to the north and defect to Guo Wei, the secret envoy of the Later Han Dynasty. Later, Guo Weijian later became emperor of Zhou, and Zhao Kuangyin was made the head of the Eastern and Western Classes, and the deputy commander of Baihua Prefecture, so Zhao Kuangyin could be regarded as a proper warrior.
Zhao Kuangyin stills
Behind the Yellow Robe, Zhao Kuangyin successively attacked Hou Shu and the Southern Han Dynasty, and there was another major problem that had not yet been solved, that is: the Southern Tang. In the eighth year of Kaibao, Zhao Kuangyin sent an army to attack the Southern Tang. Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, sent Zhou Weijian and Xu Xuan, a scholar of xiuwenguan, to Kaifeng together to ask Zhao Kuangyin to strike the army. Although the Southern Tang Dynasty could not withstand the Song Dynasty militarily, in terms of culture, Xu Xuan was very confident. After all, li yu, the lord of the country, was the rank of "emperor of words".
Li yu
Therefore, in Xu Xuan's eyes, Zhao Kuangyin was like a countryman from the urban-rural combination department, and he planned to solve this crisis for the Southern Tang dynasty with his three inches of uncorrupted tongue. In order to highlight the status of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xu Xuan praised his own lord Li Yu, saying that Li Yu was erudite and had the ability of a saint. Zhao Kuangyin asked Xu Xuan to recite Li Yu's works, and Xu Xuan recited Li Yu's new work "Autumn Moon" in court.

Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said, "This is a poem written by Han Shi, I will not read such a poem!" Xu Xuan thought that Zhao Kuangyin re-installed, obviously there was not much ink in his belly, and what kind of cultural people were he pretending? In order to convince Xu Xuan, Zhao Kuangyin said, I returned from Qinzhong in the cold, drunkenly lay in the field under Mount Hua, woke up to see the moon, and casually recited two poems, and you listened to it: "I have not left the seabed for a thousand mountains and inks, and I have only arrived in the sky." ”
As soon as Zhao Kuangyin's words fell, everyone was shocked, they did not expect that Zhao Kuangyin could also make such a poem. Although it is inferior to Li Yu in terms of word making, in terms of momentum, it far overwhelms Li Yu's "spring flowers and autumn moon", showing the domineering spirit of the emperor. However, due to the fact that Zhao Kuangyin is not a poetry professional after all, he got stuck after chanting these two sentences, and there was no following. Despite this, Xu Xuan was still convinced.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > the second half of Zhu Yuanzhang's head</h1>
For more than 400 years, no one dared to take zhao Kuangyin's two poems. Some people can't think of it, and some people can think of it, but they don't dare to be right. That is the founding grandfather of the Song Dynasty, if you are right, don't you want to sit on an equal footing with Zhao Kuangyin? But Zhu Yuanzhang had no concerns in this regard, because he was also the founder of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a cattle herder and did not go to school when he was a child, in the military camp, he made up for cultural classes so that he would not become an illiterate. After listening to Zhao Kuangyin's two poems, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately gave the last two sentences: "Persist in this ambition to become yongzhi, and fight a hundred battles to open the taiping." This also expresses Zhu Yuanzhang's vision of winning the Central Plains and creating a peaceful and prosperous world for the people.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote several poems in his lifetime, the most domineering of which was the "Show Monk": kill all the million soldiers in Jiangnan, and the sword around his waist is bloody! The old monk did not know the hero, so he just asked for his name. Who do you think Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang has a higher literary level?
