If Li Yu put the ancient words vernacular, he pushed the ancient words to the peak. Then Liu Yong's slow word is to create a precedent for long tones. What kind of character is this Liu Yong? It can be so highly praised by the literati.
In fact, he was highly evaluated not only by the literati and inkers, but also by the singers and prostitutes of the Qinglou (that is, those old bustard prostitutes).
Don't you think it's weird? This Liu Yong's original name was Liu Sanchang, and he was also a son of an official family, he had an old father who was an official, and he was smart and studious. Maybe their Liu family ancestral grave was struck by lightning and smoked green smoke, and their Liu family's eldest son Sanfu, the second son Sanjie, and this Liu Sanchang, are particularly able to read, and the articles are written in a croaking manner. Therefore, the local people called their three brothers the Three Absolutes of the Liu Clan.
Just as the so-called dragon gave birth to nine sons, the sons are different, and this willow three is especially not a thing when he is young. Seeing that day by day, I began to let go, soaking in the green building and shuttling through the brothel. You go to prostitution, and you use your literary skills to fill in a bunch of words in the pollen bush. Even more unbearable, you fill in it, but the angry thing is that it is filled in very well, so that the singer and prostitute can sing around, and over time it has been sung in the capital.
Some people who like his talent, seeing that he can't support the wall with mud, also look up at the sky and sigh, forget it, this guy knows the prostitute, not saved, let him fend for himself. Just like that, he went to take the civil service examination, and people shook their heads when they saw his name, and they were killed once they saw him. Notoriously enough for the self-proclaimed imperial court to hide when it sees him. So every time I took the exam, I was lost, and over time my confidence was lost.
He would go out and travel around and relax. Most of them still scolded these examiners in their hearts that they had no eyes, and such a big talent in front of them couldn't see anything. Finally wandering around, after some experience, the prodigal son turned back. After all, his talent was far away, so everyone gave him a chance and finally was admitted to the civil service. He did some official positions, because he had been an official of the Tuntian Yuanwailang, and people called him "Liu Tuntian", which was equivalent to a ministerial official.
people are easy to be arrogant and arrogant, and if they are not careful, they will offend people; at the same time, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and talented people are naturally prone to jealousy. It is said that at that time, the prime minister Lü Yijian was on his sixtieth birthday and sent someone to ask Liu Yuanwai for lyrics. Liu Yuanwai filled in two words this time, one of which was "Xijiang Yue".
The content of the words is: "The fetus in the abdomen is born of different brocade, and the pen end of the tongue sprays the Yangtze River." It is difficult to pay for the words of the connivance, and it is disdainful to weigh people. I do not seek riches, but I ask for articles. The talented man occupies the speech field, and it is really a white-clad Qingxiang. ”
Lü Zaixiang read that "it is difficult to pay for the words of the Connaught, and disdain to weigh with people", laughing: When Pei Du repaired the Fuguang Temple, he asked the emperor to write an article, and each word was three horses, and it seems that Liu Yong this boy thought that the manuscript fee I gave was too small. When he read again, "I don't ask for riches, people must ask me for articles", the adults did not get angry and said angrily: "NND, who asks for whom?" Since then, the hatred has been remembered in the heart, and the beam has been formed. Lü Zaixiang, who could not hold the boat in his belly, later seized the opportunity and slandered Liu Yong in front of the emperor. Poor Yanagisaburo was approved by Emperor Renzong's imperial decree to "let him be dressed in white, and fill in the words under the moon before the wind." Since then, Liu Yong has called himself "Three Changes in The Word Liu".
This guy is also a bit dead, when he goes out to be an official, he often goes to the old business, and then goes to visit the Qinglou. When he finally died, it was still the singers and prostitutes in the Qinglou who paid for his funeral.
The words he filled in were for romance, and he also filled in the words after drinking, which was the famous song "Looking at the Tide of the Sea". Writing Qiantang is particularly prosperous, I heard that the gold lord especially liked the word after reading it, and after reading the prosperity of Qiantang, I moved my heart to go south. His style of words is euphemistic and far-reaching. There is also an elegant atmosphere, and there is a vulgar style, filling in the words into popular songs, returning the true color of the lyrics, and speaking the vernacular is Jay Chou of the Song Dynasty. It was very popular at the time. To what extent is it popular? "Wherever there is well water to drink, you can sing willow words." What does it mean? That is, as long as there is a place to drink well water, you will hear someone singing Liu Yong's words.
In fact, when he traveled around, the words he filled in were still quite lifelike. At that time, he was like a down-and-out teenager, with a stomach full of talent, which was to be looked down upon. During that time, the words he filled in were very evocative, and today we will read a long tune of his period, "Eight Voices of Ganzhou".
Eight sounds of Ganzhou
On Xiao Xiao twilight rain sprinkled on the river sky, a wash of autumn.
The frost and wind are tight, the Guanhe river is cold, and the building is left behind.
It is a place where the red decays and the green is reduced, and the radial things are rested.
Only the water of the Yangtze River flows east without words.
I can't bear to climb high and go far, look at my hometown, and it is difficult to return to my hometown.
Sighing at the trail of years, what is the bitter drowning?
Think of a beautiful person, look at the makeup building, mistake a few times, and the skyline knows the boat.
Knowing me, leaning on the railing, I am frowning!
The whole word of the vernacular: In the face of Xiao Xiao's twilight rain falling from the sky on the river, after a rain-washed autumn scenery, it is extremely cold and clear. The bleak frost and wind were like a gust, the Guanshan River was cold and depressed, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the tall buildings. Everywhere the red flowers withered and the green leaves dried up, and all the beautiful scenery gradually decayed. Only the gushing water of the Yangtze River flowed silently to the east.
I can't bear to climb high and look into the distance, look at the distant hometown, and the desire to go home is difficult to close. Sighing at the whereabouts of these years, why did you stay in a foreign land for a long time? Miss the beautiful person, must climb the riverside painting building every day, how many times mistakenly take the boats coming from afar as the return of the beloved. Looking at my return boat, I mistakenly recognized one boat after another. Do you know me, leaning on the tall building and looking out, my sorrow is so deep.
A long tune is written in one go, and a heart that is not met with talent is written with great enthusiasm. If you want to be a civil servant, people just can't look at it, and you have talent, but you have to travel around. However, I am also grateful to his travel life, which has taught him to accept his heart. Unfortunately, his name and talent go hand in hand, some people say that he is not conventional, some people say that he is not clean and self-righteous. But no matter how conclusive it is, his contribution to ancient words will always be nailed to the monument.
