There is such a question: Why does the "Linjiang Immortal" written by Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty appear in the opening words of Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?
<h1>preface</h1>
People who have read Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" must be familiar with this opening statement:
The water rolling in the east of the Yangtze River, the waves exhaust the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few degrees.
White-haired fisherman on the river, used to watch the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is a happy encounter. How many things in ancient and modern times are in the process of laughter.
At that time, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series also played this song as a theme song, and I remember that Yang Hongji sang it. Years later, this song also became a famous song for Brother Coat.
This Linjiang Xian is the work of Yang Shen, a talented son of the Ming Dynasty, but Yang Shen was born in 1488 and died in 1559, and Luo Guanzhong (c. 1330 – c. 1400), the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was born 150 years before Yang Shen. How can there be poetry in his works for posterity?
This is not surprising, because it was not put in by Luo Guanzhong.
<h1>I. Yang Shen and The Twenty-First History bullet words</h1>
Yang Shen was a scholarly and noble son, and his father was Yang Tinghe, the head of the dynasty. Humen had no dogs, and Yang Shen was a jinshi and the first high school champion at the age of 24 in the 6th year of Zhengde (1511). However, as a young generation with ideals and convictions, he also threw himself into the vigorous cause of the "Great Etiquette" controversy, and was not only beaten to the board, but also relegated out of the capital.
Unexpectedly, he never returned to the center of the imperial court, so that The talent of The Emperor died in southern Yunnan.
According to the Ming Dynasty, he once wrote a set of song lyrics, using several words: Xijiang yue, Nanxiangzi, Linjiangxian, Qingping Le, Dian Dai Lip, Ding Fengbo, Butterfly Love Flower and so on. This group of words wrote about the 21 dynasties in history, and is known as the "Ten Golden Words of the History of the Dynasties", that is, the "Twenty-one History Bullet Words".
Yang Shen's "Twenty-one Historical Bullet Words", also known as "Ten Paragraphs of Jinzi Words and Sayings of the History of The Dynasties", etc., still exists in many versions, such as the Wanli Ben, the Heavenly Revelation Ben, and the You chongzhen Ben.
The Wanli Ben "Chen Mei Justice Twenty-one History Bullet Words" has a preface written by Huating (Songjiang County) Chen Meigong (Chen Jiru), saying that Yang Shen was good at playing the pipa when he was a teenager, and once worked as a street singer in Chang'an:
To the Shu people who have been given, Mr. Chuan was good at pipa when he was young, and every time he was a new voice. And later, on the night of the summer moon, with two horns of buns, wearing a single yarn and half an arm, carrying a pipa, a total of two or three rioters, carrying honorable wine, sitting on the West Chang'an Avenue, drinking and singing, plucking to dawn.
Another Chongzhen ben has a preface written by Wang Qilong:
This Yang uses the word of repair, the leaf is not more than seventy, the words are less than thirty thousand, and the implicit spread of the past generations of waste and survival, from the flood to the world, tens of thousands of years. The name is known as the bullet word, and the ten can be played also...
One bullet makes people sigh, and then it makes people feel sorry, and three bullets make people dance and sing, weep and weep, but they can't stop themselves, and the tone of their voice is so sad that they can make seventeen or eighteen girls play it;
The tragic syllables of its syllables can also make the copper pipa iron plate Zhang'er General play it. With the cultivation of truth is worthy of the title of the talent also. Heaven is in the air, and all horses can have followers! ”
Eighteen girls are the wind of Liu Yong, copper pipa, iron plate is the wind of Su Shi's boldness, and commentators believe that Yang Shenzi has both graceful and bold characteristics.
In the seventh year of the Qing Dynasty (1802), Shi Shi Xie Lansheng wrote in the Qing edition of the "Outline of The History of the Dynasties", arguing that this group of bullet words was written in southern Yunnan:
Sheng'an was fanatical and sang the Southern Yunnan Street Market, and a nineteen histories were gently exhausted to awaken the mortals. Lady's sorrow was in The Way of Shi Duo, who knew that she was so playful and angry, and that she would make a statement that she would see the cause of the ancient monarchs and lords! There are many sighs, there is no choice in words, and the Ming King is trying to dominate, turning hope into emptiness, and the hero Haojie is always nothing. That's it.
As for the time and place of Yang Shen's creation, it is generally recognized that he composed it when he was degraded to Yunnan. After being degraded, Yang Shen pretended to be wild, walking and singing in the Yunnan street market, so as to laugh and curse, so that the people understood the cycle of rise and fall of glory and disgrace, and Wang Tu's hegemony and hero Haojie eventually came to naught.
<h1>Ii. The Opening Words of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was originally written in the Qin and Han Dynasties</h1>
The fourth paragraph of the Twenty-first History of Bullet Words uses two poems from Xi Jiangyue to "say three points and two jin":
"Xi Jiang Yue" one
The Three Emperors and Five Emperors of Daode, with the name of Xia Hou Shang Zhou. The five hegemons and seven heroes were in the Spring and Autumn, and Qin Hanxing died.
Qingshi has several lines of names and surnames, and countless barren hills in the north. The predecessors cultivated and the later harvested, saying that the dragons fought and fought.
"Xi Jiang Yue" part TWO
Haojie's thousand-year-old past, a high song of fishing trees. The Wufei rabbit walked as fast as a shuttle, blinking the wind and rain.
Magic Pen Dragon Tao Tiger Strategy, Hero Iron Horse Jingo. How to compete for fame and profit will have the result of the harvest.
However, these two poems were not regarded as the opening words of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but adopted the third paragraph, which is also two poems, saying that they are both Qin and Han:
"Linjiang Immortal"
The water rolling in the east of the Yangtze River, the waves exhaust the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few degrees.
White-haired fisherman on the river, used to watch the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is a happy encounter. How many things in ancient and modern times are in the process of laughter.
《Xi Jiang Yue》
The sunset is rolling in the west, and the river is gushing in the east. The night came today and the Ming Dynasty, and the youth of the land has passed.
Characters throughout the ages, how many heroes at a time. The dragon fought and the tiger fought for a long time, and ended up with a conversation and laughter.
<h1>3. Mao Zonggang put LinjiangXian into the Romance of the Three Kingdoms</h1>
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" originally did not have Yang Shen's Linjiang Immortal, which is of course normal. When Luo Guanzhong wrote about the Three Kingdoms, Yang Shen's father Yang Tinghe may have just been born.
The people who put this Linjiang Immortal into the Romance of the Three Kingdoms were Mao Lun and Mao Zonggang father and son in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Mao Zonggang (1632 ~ 1709 later), born in the fifth year of Ming Chongzhen, is an ordinary reader Mao Zonggang's version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has changed greatly in plot, not only adding and deleting, but also rectifying the review, adjusting the words, and changing the poetry.
In the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, the First Talent Book of drunkenness, it was once said that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the ancient book, it was often seen that the characters in the book wrote the Seven Laws of Speech, so they were "laughed at by the people who knew it".
The Seven-Word Law Poem originated from the Tang Dynasty, and ruohan did not hear the Seven-Word Law. Folk texts often fabricate ancient poems, such as Zhong Xuan, Wang Langsong Tongquetai, and Cai Mao's Inscription Hall, all of which are disguised as the seven-word law, which is laughed at by the intellectuals. Now it is cut off according to the ancient texts to preserve its truth. Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, the First Talent book of drunkenness
When we look at the "Fengshen Yanyi", we can find that Jiang Ziya in the Shang Zhou Period could not move to recite a five-law poem, and the Shang Gong King Inscription Wall is also a standard seven-word poem, which is indeed a bit crossed. In the crossover drama "Qing Yu Nian", which has been broadcast in the past few days, didn't Fan Xian also ask the sister-in-law who sells books whether she has a CD?
After Mao's revision, it is often seen in the Three Kingdoms that "posterity has a poetry cloud", rather than a character in the book has a poetry cloud. For example, in the fifty-sixth "Cao Cao Feast Tongquetai Kong Ming Sanqi Zhou Gongjin":
Kong Mingyue: "The lord is relieved, and only cares about preparing a bow to catch the tiger, and arranging incense bait to catch fish." When Zhou Yu arrived, he would not die, nor would he be breathless. Then he summoned Zhao Yun to listen: "So and so, the rest is at my own mercy." Xuande was overjoyed.
Later generations have a poem cloud: "Zhou Yu decided to take Jingzhou, and Zhuge Prophet was the first to make a move." Counting on the Yangtze River incense bait stability, I don't know the secret fishing hook. ”
This kind of near-body seven-word sentence will not appear in the Three Kingdoms, and it will not be "laughed at by the knowers" if it is changed to "posterity has a poetry cloud".
<h1>Conclusion</h1>
In Yang Shen's 21 historical bullets, although the "Xijiang Yue" of the Three Kingdoms was not selected for the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it was selected by others and became the opening words of the "Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty".
In addition, it seems that many storytellers often regard this poem as a set poem, and it seems that Guo Degang has used it:
@Old Street Taste
Guan Tang Xi Law 50 There is a heart that is powerless to repeat what to say Lü Wen's regret is the pain of weak national strength
Why did Lu You say that he would rather die as a goose than be a crane?
