High-haired cloud beard palace-like makeup, spring breeze a song Du Wei Niang.
It is common to see idle things, and cut off the Suzhou thorn history sausage.
Translated from the vernacular, the singers and prostitutes danced gracefully, combing the hair of high palace girls, and a song "Du Wei Niang" made people feel like a spring breeze. Li Sikong read countless women and was indifferent to this, but my thorn history from Jiangnan, looking at this flower-like person in front of me, was really soft and full of knots.
This is Liu Yuxi's famous work "Gift to Li Sikong Prostitute" in the Tang Dynasty. Dare to ask, Li Sikong, who is also?
"On the day of hoeing, when the day of hoeing is noon, the sweat drops fall into the soil. Who knows the plate of Chinese food, the grains are hard. "This poem "Mercy Nong" can be described as a household name, and its author is Li Sikong in the poem, the big name Li Sheng.
In the spring of the second year of Emperor Wenzong of Tang,Liu Yuxi ended his career and returned to Beijing to take up his post, although he was only idle, Liu Yuxi was famous all over the world, then called "Shihao", and many high-ranking officials and nobles competed to make friends.
Li Shen admired his talents and learning, set up a banquet, and when he was drunk, he made the young girl sing and dance lightly and cheered. Liu Yuxi was amazed by the beauty and improvised this poem. Li Shen saw the situation and gave the prostitute a gift. The idiom "commonplace" comes from this.
Li Sheng, great-grandson of Li Jingxuan of the Tang Dynasty Zhongshu Ling, is also considered a famous person. Unfortunately, the family fell in the middle of the road, lost his father at an early age, and lived in poverty in his early years. After witnessing the farmer working all day and not being able to feed himself, he angrily wrote two poems of "Mercy for the Farmer", which were popular among the population and well known to women and children. The second is "plant one millet in the spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in the autumn." There are no idle fields in the four seas, and the farmers are starving to death. ”
Li Shen was the main force of the Xinlefu movement in the Tang Dynasty. Xinlefu wrote about current affairs in poetry, advocating simple words and conforming to the rhythm of music, so that the people could pass on their words of mouth, such as "The road of Taihang can destroy the car, if it is smoother than the heart of the people." The water of wuxia can cover the boat, if it is better than the heart of the people is a peaceful stream", a bit like today's oil poetry.
Li Shen lived up to the expectations of the public, and the two poems "Mercy Nong", the language is plain and simple, the syllables are harmonious and bright, and they are widely circulated in the folk. The New Book of Tang records that Li Shen was short and concise, and Yu was the most famous in poetry, with the time number "Short Li".
In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the scholar clan declined, and a large number of Shu people entered power through the imperial examination. The two sides competed for power and power, and the warrior clan was headed by Li Deyu, so it was called Li Dang, and the Shu people were headed by cattle monks and children, so they were called Niu Dang. The two parties of Niu and Li are intolerant of fire and water, and have been fighting each other for nearly 40 years, which is known in history as the "Niu and Li Party Disputes".
In this protracted power struggle, Li Shen followed Li Deyu, the big man of the Li Party, and his soaring glory depended on it. With this special relationship, Li Shen stepped into the clouds, successively serving as a thorn in history, a jiedu envoy, a zhongshu waiter, a tongping zhangshi, a shangshu servant, and a marquis and a minister, ranking third duke.
When Li Shen was young, he was a young talent who spoke out in righteousness and was known as a poet of mercy. Later, when he entered the career path, the officials became bigger and bigger, and the people also changed, spending days and drinking, and the concubines were in groups, "gradually luxurious." Li Shen loved to eat chicken tongue, one plate per meal, consuming more than three hundred live chickens, and the chickens slaughtered in the backyard were piled up, and his contemporaries Han Yu, Jia Dao, Li He and others all scorned it.
If it is just to pamper and covet pleasure, Li Shen is thin and widowed. Before Li Sheng's departure, he often went to Li Yuan's home as a guest and affectionately called him "uncle". After Li Gentry's discovery, Li Yuan will take the initiative to demote himself to the generation and call himself a "nephew", and Li Gentry is very unhappy, until Li Yuan will call himself a "grandson", Li Gentry is satisfied.
When Li Shen was serving as the envoy of Huainan Festival, he was violent in temperament and abused sexual coercion, and the local people were frightened and frightened, and many people crossed the Yangtze River and huai river and went out to flee. Subordinates reported to him that many of the local people had fled. Li Shen said lightly, "Have you ever seen holding wheat in your hand?" The full grains are always below, and those chaff go with the wind without having to report it. "I simply regard the people as grass and mustard, where is the appearance of the young man who was enthusiastic about the people's life?"
After Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, he removed Li Deyu from his post, and Li Dang lost power. Although Li Shen had died, he was still recognized as a "cool official", and according to the law of the imperial court, "the three officials of the gentry were cut, and the descendants were not allowed to be shi".
The Tang Dynasty was strong and powerful, and history called the Tang Dynasty prosperous. "The sea is rich and secure, although the walkers do not hold any soldiers for thousands of miles." "The four sides are rich, the people are rich, there are more than 10 million households, and the rice is one bucket and three or four texts." After the Anshi Rebellion, although the national strength declined, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries were still indulging in pleasures, spending money like dirt, and the extravagance prevailed throughout the country.
Even Tang Wenzong lamented that the golden bird brocade robe that only Tang Xuanzong could afford to wear back then had it for all the rich and noble families at that time.
