In the Literary Circles of Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, due to the early stage of Mu Ang and his literary friends and poets, the middle period of Yang Shen, and the late stage of the presence of Li Yan Xu Xiake, it will not be silent, and it is located in the southwest corner of Yunnan, the barbaric land in the eyes of the world, there are only a few bright colors.
Mu Ang (1379-1445), also known as Jing Yong (景颙), was the third son of Mu Ying, the Marquis of Xiping, the Prince of Qianning and the founder of the Ming Dynasty's Yunnan cause.
In the third year of Yongle (1404), he was sent to Yunnan by the imperial court to assist his second brother, Mu Sheng, the general of Yunnan.
Mu Ang is the ming Dynasty Mu family with the highest literary achievements, can write and martial arts, at the same time, he has a high musical literacy, playing the piano, appreciating music, composing music have a certain degree of achievement.
The reason why Mu Ang became the leader of the Yunnan literary circle in the early Ming Dynasty
One is a higher position
In the third year of Yongle (1404), he was sent to Yunnan to assist his second brother Mu Shengzhen Dian in his capacity as the commander of the envoy Si Youshi (都 Directing envoy Si Zheng zhi "command envoy" Zheng Sanpin, deputy commander "commanding Tongzhi" congsan sanpin, and "commanding you shi" Zheng Sipin). Later, he was promoted to the post of Commander-in-Chief of Yunnan, the Left Governor of the Right Army, and zhendian forty-one years. After his death, he was buried in the ancestral cemetery of Nanjing General Mountain (Guanyin Mountain, Taibei Township, Jiangning County). The high and approachable position coupled with the prestige of the family has become a magnet for gathering talents.
The second is a high level of literary and artistic attainment
Mu Ang went to ma to rule the army, got off the horse to manage the people, and after the end of the government affairs and military affairs, changed into a casual and relaxed Confucian dress, invited literary friends and poets, gathered in Liuying, splashed ink, wrote poetry and compositions, drank alcohol and threw pots, composed music and played the piano, tasted tea and appreciated paintings, and the image of the literati jumped out. He wrote 900 poems in his lifetime, and after his death, he was compiled by his great-grandson Mu Kun as the "Suxuan Collection". Edited the poetry collection "The Pearls of the Canghai" for the poetry of the literati and officials of the Early Ming Dynasty.
Third, Mu Ang has his own literary ideas
In his poetry collection "Su Xuan Collection", he put forward his own literary propositions, mainly including:
One. Poetry creation should be "temperamental" and "weathered"
Two. Poetry creation should match "morality" and "speech"
Fourth, it has united a large number of literati and scholars
What is rare and valuable is that around him, a group of like-minded literary friends and poets were gathered, either mainland officials who were degraded for some reason, or officials of the imperial court, and these officials and those who were degraded were all from the imperial family, and their poetic attainments were not low.
These literati officials and scholars all had contacts with Mu Ying, the first generation of rulers of the Mu family, and Mu Chun, Mu Sheng, and Mu Ang, and were directly or indirectly cared for by the two generations of the Mu family.
For example, in the early Ming Dynasty, the famous "Pingju Chen Guo" in the Literary Circles of Yunnan ——
Ping: Ping Xian, Zi Zhongwei, Song Yu, Zhejiang Qiantang people, official Guangxi Teng County Ling, was later demoted to the main book, who is degraded to Yunnan Shubian. Mu Ying, the Marquis of Xiping, loved his talents and asked the imperial court to dispense with his military status and hire him as a ShuBin Xi Xi. "The Pearls of the Canghai Sea" has seventeen poems such as "Guang ji Tang" and "Fengguo Gong da ren" and so on.
The Su Xuan Collection has a poem "Sending Ping Zhongwei":
In autumn, the geese in southern Yunnan do not fly, and they remember where they think of Yiyi.
In March, how many times have you climbed the stairs to look at the sunset?
Juguang, Haichang (Haining, Zhejiang?) ) people. The Suxuan Collection has a poem "Shu Shi Ju Guang":
The wild road is desolate and rainy, and the fields are full of fields.
After knowing goodbye, can you have a new poem to send for a long trip?
Chen: Chen Qian, Zi Shi Qian, No. Wu (Suzhou) people.
Guo: Guo Wen, Zi Bingzhong, Zhouwu, Kunming people.
The Su Xuan Collection has a poem "Send Guo Wen Chen Qian":
When the clouds want snow at the same time, the old man feels like silk.
There is a plum blossom tree in front of Xuanqian, and the cute Ling Han puts a branch.
There is also the Preface to the Poems of the Inscription:
"The poet, so the sense of emotion, in line with the weathering of the also." ......”
3. Actively carry out the practice of literary creation
"Su Xuan Collection" Trek: ... "Jing Zhi Ju Poetry": Dingbian Pinglu Chuan Zhi Kou, Wei Southwest, and can spare time to spare wen Yong, the compilation of the early Ming Dynasty corporal eunuch Lu Dian and who shu, since The following twenty-one poems, where two hundred and fifty poems are called "The Pearls of the Canghai".
"The Pearls of the Canghai Sea" collects 21 literati scholars who went to Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty or who were in Yunnan, a total of 270 poems, and compiled them as "The Pearls of the Canghai Sea", which made these officials and scholars leave a reputation. Among them are Ping Xian, Han Yike, and Wang Jingchang, who are well known to Yunnan people.
At the same time, Bingbu Shangshu and Yang Shiqi of Huagaiden University believed in the Preface to the "Canghai Lost Pearl" that Mu Ang edited the "Canghai Relic Pearl": "Yu read his poems, most of them are clear and elegant, peaceful and graceful, extremely interesting, the treasure of the pearl of the night light, cute and playable. ”
Mu Ang wrote tirelessly in his spare time, and everywhere he went, he recorded it in poetry, covering central Yunnan, western Yunnan, southern Yunnan, Nanjing, Beijing, etc., and compiled into 900 poems (pieces) "Suxuan Collection", describing mountains and rivers, expressing the feelings of travel, brotherly feelings, paying attention to people's livelihood, expounding literary propositions, and political propositions.
With a high literary attainment, a higher artistic quality, a higher military rank, and a group of who dian yu dian literati were united under his command, and edited a collection of poems for them, Mu Ang naturally became the leader of the Yunnan literary circle in the early Ming Dynasty.
