There is such a calligraphy post that the two emperors favored it. Emperor Huizong of Song signed it and stamped it; when Puyi was driven out of the Forbidden City, he did not forget to carry it with him.
In addition to these two emperors, Zhang Boju, the "fourth prince of the Republic of China", also has a special love for it, preferring to be in debt of 5,000 yuan rather than let it lose overseas.
Today, this calligraphy poster is hidden in the Palace Museum and has become one of the 37 treasures in China that are forbidden to be exhibited abroad.
It is Du Mu's only surviving calligraphy, "Zhang Haohao's Poems".
It is also a testimony of Du Mu and Zhang's good love.
Du Mu wrote countless works related to women in his lifetime, and almost every poem has a lamentable story behind it.
If national treasures could speak, they would lead us through thousands of years of endless wilderness back to 828 AD.
That year, the 25-year-old Du Mu was mercurial, ambitious and full of spirit, and met the heroine of the famous love for thousands of years.
At first sight, I fell in love with Xu Baitou, "Sit and watch the Morning Glory Vega"
In the spring of the second year of Emperor Wenzong's reign, Du Mu entered the rank with the fifth place in the country, but the official position was very embarrassing, and now, he was a book proofreader and administrator with a compilation.
The job is idle, but the future is bleak.
After entering the army and the 8th month, Shen Chuanshi, a hereditary of the Du family and a heavy minister of the imperial court, was promoted and raised, and with the love between the Du and Li families for many years, he also helped Du Mu change a good job: the inspector of the Jiangxi Regiment.
Du Mu smoothly became a member of the Shogunate of Shen Chuanshi.
Coinciding with a wine banquet, Du Mu met Shen Chuanshi's most beloved official prostitute, Zhang Haohao, who was "thirteen years old, Cui Zhuo phoenix, dan face lotus with tarsus".
During the banquet, Zhang Hao, who was dressed in a green lotus dress, sang gracefully, and Du Mu fell in love at first sight, and suddenly felt that even the sound of the musical instrument was not as good as her singing voice.
Under Du Mu's crazy pursuit, he and Zhang fell in love, "Longsha watched the autumn waves, and the bright moon toured the East Lake." Since then, every time we have seen each other, we have been away for three days. ”
They see that they are going to cook raw rice to maturity, but if the love of the world is perfect, it will soon be passed on.
This is probably Lu Xun's definition of tragedy: "Smashing beautiful things to show people." ”
It was no one else who destroyed Du Zhang's love, it was Shen Chuanshi's younger brother Shen Shushi.
In fact, Shen Shushi had long been devoted to Zhang Well, but due to the constraints of feudal etiquette, he had not been able to make up his mind to chase after a dusty woman, because such a woman was not even worthy of being a concubine at that time.
But men, since ancient times, are good at fighting, no one competes, and it is not interesting to get.
From the death-defying battles on the Shura field, to the ancient Roman gladiators, and even wrestling, karate, sumo wrestling, etc. under today's civilization, men have been fighting, for fame, for profit, for power, for sex.
Therefore, Shen Shushi was no exception, he was hit by du mu and Zhang Haohao's closeness, and he knew that if he couldn't have it, it would be a lifetime of misses.
He is a real action faction, not so much nonsense, directly under the dowry to marry Zhang Haohao.
Although Du Mu was in pain, he could only "dumbly eat Huang Lian".
In the environment at that time, if you broke up with someone who had the grace to promote yourself, it was treachery, and if the reason was for a woman, it was even more disdainful.
Du Mu could only let go.
And Zhang Haohao, there is no way to choose her own life, as an official prostitute, she can become a concubine of the nobles of the palace, which is already a blessing cultivated in the previous life, what else can she ask for?
Zhang Haohao stayed up all night and finally wrote in the bleak moonlight:
"Lonely lights and remnants of the moon are accompanied by idle sorrow, and a few degrees of misery are several degrees of autumn; where there is mourning to reward the Old Covenant, from now on thank you for the flow of the wind."
Tears to say goodbye to Du Mu.
Du Mu and Zhang Haohao missed it after all, perhaps in response to the sentence "The most loved ones will never be together".
The cruelty of the world is more or less like this, and the more we experience it, the more we understand that no matter who is lost, the earth will still rotate.
But the truth will accompany the passage of time, become a cloud of smoke, or superimpose into countless midnight dream regrets, and continue to ferment in your life.
Perhaps, each of us is waiting and preparing for reconciliation with regret.
"Prosperous things scatter incense dust, flowing water merciless grass from spring"
After Du Mu and Zhang Hao broke up, he performed official duties in various places on the orders of Shen Chuanshi, and for more than a year, he traveled to the mountains and rivers, and he was not happy.
However, political gloom has always hung over his heart, and he feels the decline of Datang all the time.
In the seventh year of Yamato, the 30-year-old Du Mu was ordered to work in Xuanzhou, passing through Jinling, and met the elderly and helpless Du Qiuniang.
At that time, Du Qiuniang was an old woman who lived by begging on the street, and it was difficult for people to associate her with the once-favored imperial concubine.
But she did "see the Son of Heaven in conjunction with each other, hoping to be alone; the pepper wall hanging brocade curtain, the mirror cockroach" and the cockroach.
People who have seen "The Biography of Zhen Huan" may have an impression of the pepper room, and Du Qiuniang lived in a pepper room similar to zhen Huan's stay at that time, and was favored by the emperor.
But the good times did not last long, after the death of Tang Xianzong, she became the "crown prince" and "Fu Mother", in the final analysis, she was a nanny, and was involved in a series of political struggles.
As a result, the crown prince lost power, others took the stage, and Du Qiuniang was expelled from the palace and returned to Jinling.
When Du Mu saw her, yesterday's scenery was infinite and had already dissipated completely.
Floating like a dream, this old woman who survived the bloody rain and wind, returned to her hometown alone and had no ability to live.
She seemed so powerless throughout the political craze, like everyone in the political vortex of her time.
So Du Mu wrote the "Du Qiu Niang Poem", lamenting that "change can be destroyed", and also wrote from the side of the desolation and loneliness of the late Tang Dynasty under the division of the feudal town and the dictatorship of the eunuchs.
At this time, coinciding with Shen Chuanshi's promotion and return to Beijing, Du Mu ended his 5-year shogunate career under Shen Chuanshi and accepted the invitation of cattle monks and children to "go down to Yangzhou in March with fireworks".
Du Mu, 31 years old, spent a very comfortable time in Yangzhou City.
During the day, he accompanied the cattle monks and children to understand the spirit of the meeting, went to work on time, and left work on time. In the evening, I went to the tavern, met many beautiful singers and prostitutes, fell in love with them for a short time, and quickly separated.
However, in two years, Du Mu is no longer the infatuated child lang of his youth, in the beautiful City of Yangzhou, Du Mu fell in love, but he was not deeply involved, and he was always a posture in the game world.
But in Du Mu's handsome and wandering body, there is a heart of pity that has no place to exert its great strategy. He put all his dissatisfaction with his career and the imperial court into a wine glass and drank it all.
Under the carnival, it is the prime of life that no one can say that it is lonely.
So Du Mu often made trouble after drinking, but he was balanced by him every time.
He thought he had the ability to kill Ji, but he didn't know that there was a mysterious force surging behind him, always keeping him safe.
This power came from his leaders, the cow monks and children.
When Du Mu was about to leave Yangzhou for Luoyang, the cattle monks and children asked him to talk and ask him to pay attention to his own life style in the future.
Du Mu was quite annoyed when he heard this, and was about to refute it, only to see the cattle monks and children ask their men to carry up a few baskets of "peace charms".
Du Mu opened several of them and looked at them, and his face turned red in an instant, because on each "peace charm", there was a message reporting du Mu's safety.
Since then, Yangzhou City in Du Mu's heart, is not only the "gentle township" in the fireworks willow lane, but also the "birthplace" of a sincere and sincere friendship.
After receiving the advice of his own leader, Du Mu understood that the day of his departure was imminent, and immediately wrote a farewell poem for several singers and prostitutes who were close to him.
"Employ more than thirteen yuan, cardamom in early February; spring wind ten miles Yangzhou Road, roll up the bead curtain is always better."
Look, Du Mu in this period only loved the pure girls of thirteen or fourteen years old, he liked the slightly powdered and tender appearance on their faces, and felt that even the spring breeze was eclipsed in front of them.
Does this sentence sound familiar? Yes, Du Mu's poem was later washed by Feng Tang and written as "Spring water is born, spring forest is beginning to flourish, spring wind is ten miles, not as good as you." ”
Love is really an eternal topic, how many literati and inkers, under the nourishment of love, splash ink and leave famous sentences for thousands of years.
And these are just the silhouettes of Du Mu's 76 female theme works, closely integrated with Du Mu's life course, in the end "no wind, no talent".
Life in Yangzhou was like a dream, and Du Mu left behind the "Qinglou Bo Xing name", and gradually digested the pain of Zhang Haohao's marriage to someone else.
He did not know that those who had not been able to say goodbye might eventually be reunited, and that those who had experienced the past together would always return to his life at the right time and in the right way.
"Spiegel half a strand, where life does not meet"
After leaving Yangzhou, Du Mu returned to Luoyang.
At the east gate of Luoyang, the slender and thin back of a woman came into Du Mu's eyes.
Yes, the protagonist of this back shadow is Du Mu's old love Zhang Haohao, whom he has not seen for two years.
What Du Mu did not expect was that after only two years of separation, Zhang Haohao had gone from being a concubine of Shen Shushi to a street liquor seller.
It turned out that Shen Shushi died of illness, and Zhang Haohao could not meet with the Shen family because of his birth, so he could only be expelled from the house and made a living by selling alcohol on the streets of the city.
Du Mu looked at Zhang's good vicissitudes and haggard face, and finally felt that the beauty was twilight, but the woman in her twenties was already as old as forty.
The days when they were once dressed in fine clothes and food, singing and dancing, had long become the foreshadowing of misfortune, deeply rooted in Zhang Haohao's life.
When the two men met, "they looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and they choked on each other without words."
Du Mu's heart was bitter, for this woman he once loved deeply, he was even more powerless to change the era.
After separating from Zhang Haohao, he was full of emotions and wrote the famous "Zhang Haohao Poem".
"Erlai is not a few years old, and scatters the GaoYang disciples;
Los Angeles meets again, and the is dang;
Blame me for what I'm suffering, the teenager has a white beard;
Is Pengyou here, and Luo Tuo is more without? ”
I don't know if zhang haohao and Du Mu also regretted the night after their separation from du mu because he did not do his best to fight for happiness, nor did he know whether Zhang Haohao "wept until dawn" and deeply felt the lowness of the female sky?
In short, everything has passed, Du Mu can no longer fall in love with Zhang Haohao, Zhang Haohao no longer desires love, and hopes that his life can have a happy ending.
A word of love has become the last proverb of the lovers, and from then on, life is different from the sea.
"Since I am looking for spring to go to school late, I don't have to worry about the time of resentment"
Life is a train that only moves forward and does not retreat, everyone has their own place that will lead to, Zhang Hao has a good life, and Du Mu has Du Mu's future.
After he left Luoyang, he traveled to Huangzhou, Chizhou, and Muzhou, and on the way he saw the painful reality of "less than 20,000 households and only 30,000 yuan in taxes."
The people are not happy about life, and the bitterness of ambition and hard reward has always filled Du Mu's heart.
In order to avoid the worries of the world, Du Mu could only send love poems, and during his tenure in Huangzhou, he wrote "Title Mulan Temple", a sentence of "several times to think about returning the wine", and exhausted the worries of the heroine of the towel about Jiangshan Sheji.
Du Mu admired a resolute woman like Mulan, and perhaps in his heart, whether it was Du Qiuniang or Zhang Haohao, they all lacked such a heroic spirit, which led to the tragedy of their lives.
He may also hope that countless women can stand up, fight for their fate, and contribute to the prosperity of the country, but in the context of the era of male domination, sadness is the background of the vast majority of women.
Later, Du Mu returned to Yangzhou, this time, once a song and swallow dance, full of beautiful cities, in the late Tang Dynasty's thin western mountains more decadence.
Du Mu saw the singers and prostitutes who were still singing and laughing, and could no longer linger in them, but instead wrote down "The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and sings the backyard flowers across the river."
A few days later, when passing through Huanggang Chibi, Du Mu wrote "The East Wind Does Not Fight with Zhou Lang Ben, and the Copper Bird Spring Deep Lock Erqiao" to express his concerns about the country.
"Two Joes" are the top noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms period, "Big Joe Little Joe", who are imprisoned, hinting at the collapse of a country.
In Du Mu's pen, countless female characters are no longer fragments of history that have fallen apart, but a microcosm of a dynasty.
"Four hundred and eighty temples in the southern dynasty, how many buildings in the smoke and rain"
In 850 AD, Du Mu, who went to beijing to work, had come to the edge of life.
He looked back on the past, those beautiful women and dark careers, Zhong Lingyu's beautiful mountains and rivers and rivers, the country, have swept by.
He turned the pages of the poems he had written, his face was sad and happy, and thousands of emotions flashed in his heart, and he silently threw some poems into the brazier.
What burned with a fire was not only a few lines of text, but also Du Mu's ambition to serve the country, and his vision and remembrance of everything beautiful.
I don't know if Du Mu, who personally destroyed the "biological child", will also remember the teenager who wrote that "the Qin people do not have time to mourn themselves, and the descendants mourn; the posterity mourns and does not learn, and the posterity mourns the posterity and mourns the posterity."
At that time, he was "bookish, repulsive", "pointing out the country, stirring up words", but in the end, the country did not get better, and finally repeated the tragedy of history.
What a slur.
More than 20 years later, Du Mu, who was dying of old age, could no longer pinpoint the shortcomings of the times, and he could not afford to be ill for a long time.
In the winter of 852 AD, heavy snow, in the desolation of the late Tang Dynasty, Du Mu died of illness.
Those who died with him were those love scenes of joy and drama.
The girls who had been good friends with him heard the news of death, lamented that time flew by, life was impermanent, and continued to sing and dance, and life was like a drama.
Only Zhang Haohao carried a bottle of wine and wept in front of Du Mu's grave.
She drank the wine down and crashed into Du Mu's grave.
She went with him, and throughout her life, she completed the pursuit of love.
Today, the yangzhou city that left the three lives of Du Mu is still prosperous as ever, "the twenty-four bridges are still there, the waves are waving, the cold moon is silent; the red medicine by the bridge is read, and every year I know who is born."
And the "Zhang Haohao Poem" hanging in the Palace Museum, through the vicissitudes of the millennium, keeps the most sincere promise of a pair of lovers who have not been able to keep each other.
The vicissitudes of the years have scattered summer flowers, blown the wheat valley, dyed red beans, frozen the earth, and the cycle has begun again, and everything has been reborn.
Those girls who were written down by Du Mu, the era that Was remembered by Du Mu, have long become classics, and in the change of years, they have become enduring.
