Mention Mengjiao may not be well understood, but the poem "Who speaks in the grass, report the three Chunhui" is familiar, and there are as many as 500 surviving poems today, and it is as famous as Jia Dao, and posterity calls it "poetry prisoner", born in Huzhou Mengjiao has a lonely personality and a poor family. His life can be described as tragic, losing his father at a young age, losing his wife in middle age, and losing his son in old age. He has always been dependent on his mother for his life, and he has no background but to change his fate through the one-wood bridge of keju, and the erudite Mengjiao should be proud of the spring breeze in the official field, but the actual situation is very different.
Mengjiao has been a scholar since childhood, and one winter, the Chincha ministers of the imperial court came to Mengjiao's hometown to observe the people's feelings, and the local county order was of course flattering and flattering, and the big wine banquet was flattering. Just when the county grandfather and Chincha were staggering, the small fierce suburb dressed in rags openly entered the church, and the county grandfather was very impatient to blast him away, mengjiao said unconvincedly, the poor family is uneven, and there are gods three feet above their heads. Minister Chincha wanted to tease him, so he produced two couplets that were extremely ironic to let MengJiao pair up. Meng Jiao was not only fast and neat, but also fiercely mocked. Lord Chincha and the county commander did not have a good seizure in front of everyone, so they had to silently eat this dumb loss.
Although the talented MengJiao was not satisfactory in the official field, it was not until the age of 41 that Wu Xingxiang offered, and in the first two examinations to enter Beijing, he ended up failing in the first two examinations in Beijing, and he was inevitably depressed and depressed, and wrote the poem "Falling Di" at the time of frustration. MengJiao, who wanted to give up, felt unwilling, and finally was admitted at the age of nearly 50, and the emotions that had been suppressed for many years suddenly exploded, and wrote down such a good sentence as "The spring wind is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day".
In ancient times, although you passed the exam, but you can not directly become an official, but also by the Ministry of Etiquette to participate in the selection examination to be awarded an official and a half post, in such a situation, Mengjiao stayed for four years and did not have to be a small official in a county, for this situation he is still a little comforted, and finally can take the hard half of his mother to the side to do filial piety.
I thought that after becoming an official, my career would be smooth sailing, perhaps it was a common disease of the literati, I despised flattery in my bones, and the relationship with my superiors and subordinates was not very good, often not in the yamen, riding a small donkey wandering around, often sunrise, returning in the evening, and declaring to the outside world that I was going to observe the people's feelings.
Soon Mengjiao's inaction made his superiors very disgusted, so he reported his behavior to the imperial court, and the above allocated one to assist him in his work, but the monthly salary was to be divided into half of Mengjiao's monthly money, and the salary of the original Weibo was even more scarce, and Mengjiao's life was becoming more and more stretched. In desperation, Mengjiao resigned at home, his good friend Han Yue could not bear to see him so depressed, so he found an errand for him in Luoyang, when he was 60 years old, his mother died, and the heartbroken Mengjiao resigned and returned to his hometown to guard filial piety for his mother.
Three years later, MengJiao violently killed his family, and Mengjiao, who was surrounded by disciples, even bought a coffin for burial with the help of friends. Mengjiao, who is still a poet, is not the material for becoming an official.
