Text / First Brew
Weigh this night, the rain and people are tightly boiling.
With the copper pot knocking a little, the rain is more tearful.
The rain was wet and cold, and the tears stained the dragon robe. Refuse to forgive each other.
A sycamore dripped straight down to dawn.
"Sycamore Rain"
The tune is sad and cool, like crying, as if seeing Tang Minghuang, who is sleepless late at night, alone on the lone lamp, and tears are falling into dawn. Regardless of whether Emperor Ming's heart was really desolate or not, Bai Pu's heart was desolate, perhaps just borrowing Emperor Ming's sadness to pour out the unspeakable sadness in his heart.
01
Bai Pu, formerly known as Heng, was later renamed Park. Originally from Hequ, Shanxi, his father, Bai Hua, was a jinshi of Jin Xuanzong, a judge of the Privy Council, and a close friendship with Yuan Haowen, and the children of the two families often exchanged poetry.
Bai Pu should have been a child of a family of leisure and leisure, reading and writing poetry every day, making literary friends, and winning fame in the future and living a stable life. However, the world is unpredictable, when he was young, he was in a state of chaos, which ruined the time of his life.
Soon after his birth, the capital of the Jin Dynasty, Fenjing, was surrounded by Mongol iron horses, and Bai Hua, who was in the center, spent all day running for the affairs of the imperial court and had no time to take care of his wife and children. When Emperor Aizong of Jin abandoned the city and fled, Bai Hua left his family behind and followed Emperor Aizong alone. Fortunately, Yuan Haowen was in Fenjing at that time, and the Mongol army sacked the capital city, and the people in the city were panicked, and Yuan Haowen did his best to protect Bai Pu's brothers and sisters. He is also a man who has fled for his life, precarious and fearful day by day. However, he regarded his brothers and sisters as his closest relatives and took good care of them. When Bai Pu was infected with the plague and dying, Yuan Haowen held him tightly in his arms day and night, perhaps touched by Yuan's true feelings, and Bai Pu's disease was cured after six days.
Since then, Bai Pu's brothers and sisters have followed Yuan Haoqing's life, and Yuan has taken good care of him, and taught him to read and know etiquette and behave in the world. Bai Pu also lived up to his expectations, was talented, elegant and dignified, and was deeply loved by Yuan, who once wrote a poem praising: "Yuan Bai tong family old, Zhulang Du Ruxian." ”

When Bai Pu was twelve years old, his father Bai Hua and some former Jin Dynasty courtiers who had been outlaws came to Zhending and returned to the Mongol general Shi Tianze. In the autumn of the same year, Yuan Haoqing returned to Taiyuan and passed through this place, and Bai Pu's sisters and brothers were able to reunite with their father. Bai Hua was deeply touched to see a pair of children being taken care of so well by Yuan Haoqing: "Gu I really became a lost dog, and Lai Jun once protected Luo Xiao'er." ”
Bai Pu finally ended his wandering and lived a family reunion life. However, the scene of his childhood became an unforgettable heartbreak for him, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to hear the miserable cries of the Mongolian iron horse, and see the depression of everything after the iron horse, and the blood flowed into a river. All this haunted him, making it difficult for him to have a trace of trust and expectation in the Mongol rulers. After the war, the devastated land of China was full of depression and desolation, which made his heart feel cold, and he did not want to step into the official arena of competing for fame and profit. So he presented himself as a remnant of the country, taking poetry and songs as his profession, and using songs and verses to vent his inner depression.
What is the obstacle behind the long drunkenness, and when you are not awake, you have a lot of thoughts.
Bad pickling two gong names, drowning in the rise and fall of the ages, qu buried thousands of rainbows.
When it is not up to time, everyone laughs at Qu Yuanfei, but Zhiyin says that Tao Qian is.
"Parasitic Grass Drinking"
A song "Parasitic Grass Drinking" seems to be drunk and awake, full of drunken words, but the words are sober. He longed for a drunken retreat, carefree, and left everything in the world behind. But whether you are drunk or sleeping, you still have to wake up. "Raising a glass to dispel sorrow is more sorrowful", and it is even more painful to wake up. He also had the great ambition of making meritorious achievements and serving the country, but the demise of the homeland and the change of the world made it difficult for him to make waves in his heart, and a strong disappointment filled his chest. Bury the rainbow neon zhi, put your heart on wine, learn a tao gong, "left by the yo-yo fans, there is a deep taste in the wine." ”

Although Bai Pu has no intention of politics, his intellectual ability cannot be concealed. During the yuan dynasty, the imperial court ordered various Xuanfu envoys to recommend literary talents to the court, and Shi Tianze, who was then the envoy of Henan Road Xuanfu into the center, recommended him to go out, but he politely refused. He had rebelled against Shi Tianze's kindness, and it was inconvenient for him to stay in Zhending any longer. So he decided to leave home and travel south to show the world his heart to never die. Go south to Hankou, and then into the Jiujiang River, along the way to send love to the mountains and rivers, lingering in the quiet place of the world.
Forget about the grass, with a smile on the flowers, advise the king to smell the early crown should be hung.
Where else can you say Lu Jia? Where are the good plots of the tooth too?
Where is also arrogant? Through the ages, it is right and wrong, and it is a night of fishing.
"Gyeongdongwon, Forget Worry Grass"
This song "Gyeongdongwal Forget Worry Grass" seems to be a song to exhort friends to be born, but in fact it declares that Bai Pu has no intention of becoming an official and yearning for a reclusive life. He advised his friends to hang up their crowns as soon as possible and leave the muddy officialdom, only in this way could they smile and forget their worries, Lu Jia, who could speak eloquently in the past, Jiang Ziya, who was resourceful, and Zhang Hua, who was a martial artist, all of them had become a smoke cloud, whether it was right or wrong, they had become a night's gossip of the fishermen's woodcutters.
Someone once said, "Lucky people are cured by childhood all their lives; unfortunate people are cured of childhood all their lives." "Bai Pu was the unfortunate man, the shadow of his childhood had left a lifelong scar on his heart, and he would no longer believe in the so-called imperial court, especially since he had witnessed the ferocity and ruthlessness of the Mongols, and he did not want to be with them for the rest of his life.

In the second half of his life, Bai Pu settled in Jinling and traveled to Hangzhou and Yangzhou for several years. Looking at the once prosperous city, but now it has become desolate and desolate, which has aroused his resentment against the Mongol rulers, and the hatred of the family and the country has accumulated in his heart.
Travel all over Jiangnan, count only, Qingshan stay guests.
Relatives and friends, middle-aged mourning, several times parting.
Chess did not know the change of life, and the soldiers still saw that Chuan was bleeding.
Sigh the past, song and dance Yueyang Tower, bustling rest.
The cold days are short and the clouds are cloudy. Ghostly fortress, empty moon.
Listen to Ge Yan talk and laugh, who is majestic.
The broken pillow only moved to the lonely hall rain, and the flat boat flooded the Yangtze River with snow.
Want fireworks, March to Yangzhou, everyone said.
"Man Jiang Hong"
He traveled all over Jiangnan, and the smoke and clouds that were once prosperous are now like a change of day, his eyes are full of miserable clouds and miserable moons, the songs and dances on the platform are resting, and the full of wounds is like a mountain flowing water. After all, he is a seven-foot boy, and he finally has a grand ambition in his heart, but reality makes him hesitate, and the entanglement in his heart seems to be only vented with a pen.

Perhaps this chaotic world has made him turn his worries and indignation into a lifetime of talent, he has no intention of career, but he has gained unexpected gains in literature. His "Tang Ming Emperor Autumn Leaves Wutong Rain", "Pei Shaojun Wall Head Horse", "Tianjing Sha" and so on have been sung by the ages, and Wang Guowei once commented: "Shen Xiong is tragic and majestic, crowning the Yuan qu". Together with Guan Hanqing, Ma Zhiyuan and Zheng Guangzu, he was known as the "Four Greats of Yuanqu".
In his life, he has never been born, preferring to make a cloth to wander the world, laugh at the mountains and rivers, and write sad and happy.
