A talented poet, a sharp writer, an elegant gentleman, a prime minister with extraordinary achievements, if a person can do any of these things, he is a big winner in life. In the Tang Dynasty, there was one person who could unbelievably perfectly combine these four roles. This person's name is Zhang Jiuling. Whether he writes poetry, writes, becomes an official, or is a person, Zhang Jiuling, who has reached the ultimate realm, can be called the dragon and phoenix among people.

Zhang Jiuling (張九灵), a member of the Qujiang clan of Shaozhou (present-day Shaoguan, Guangdong), was a scholar in the second year of Chang'an (702). Zhang Jiuling has been bright and studious since childhood, and his father is particularly concerned about his education problems, and he will give him some tutoring when he has time. Under the supervision and guidance of his father, Zhang Jiuling read poetry and books, and at the age of seven, he could write some simple articles.

On the road to Zhang Jiuling's fame, he also met two good Bole. When he was thirteen years old, Zhang Jiuling wrote a letter to Fang Qing, then the Assassin of Guangzhou, asking him to comment on his articles. Wang Fangqing did not dismiss this child's rash request, but carefully read the article he sent. After reading it, Wang Fangqing was greatly amazed and sincerely praised: "This child is not simple, and there will be a big difference in the future!" Since then, Wang Fangqing has encouraged Zhang Jiuling, and the earth has stimulated Zhang Jiuling's self-confidence. As a high-ranking official, Wang Fangqing treated a small child with such courtesy and courtesy, which deserves praise.

Prime Minister Zhang said that during his exile in Lingnan, he accidentally read Zhang Jiuling's article and was deeply attracted by it, saying that his text was "like a sutra practice" and had the value of "applying to the time". Since then, Zhang said that he has praised Zhang Jiuling a lot and is generous. Zhang Said is a well-known poet, and his praise and encouragement have undoubtedly played a great role in motivating the growth and progress of the young Zhang Jiuling.

Zhang Jiuling entered the army and the first time, the age of twenty was four. There is a saying that Zhang Jiuling was inscribed on the golden list in the first year of Jinglong (707), when he was weak and crowned (twenty years old). Some experts have examined and believed that this statement is not accurate enough. The chief examiner who found out that Zhang Jiuling was the famous poet Shen Qiqi. According to relevant historical records, after Shen Qiqi read Zhang Jiuling's volume, he was deeply infected and shocked, so he made a plan to admit him.

Although Zhang Jiuling was a son of an official eunuch, his grandfather and father had relatively low official positions, and the mendi were not prominent, and they lived in a corner of Lingnan. Zhang Jiuling was able to be admitted, and it was entirely by virtue of his ability to learn that he conquered Shen Qi. Zhang Jiuling is lucky, on the road of growth and progress, a good father, a good tutor, and a good examiner have all been stalled by him. People are really incomparable, they all say that it is again and again, no longer three, zhang Jiuling's luck is so good! After entering the army and the first, Zhang Jiuling passed the two-subject system examination. Being able to add three degrees shows that Zhang Jiuling is also an uncompromising exam master.

After entering the official field, Zhang Jiuling's career path is still very smooth. He successively served as a school secretary lang, a right pick, a si xun member wai lang, a Zhongshu Sheren, a deputy governor of Jixian Yuan, a Zhongshu Shilang, and finally a chancellor of the Tang Dynasty. This Zhang Jiuling, good luck is really not used up ah. Zhang Jiuling was the last famous minister of the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era" and made a significant contribution to the final formation of the "Rule of Kaiyuan" situation.

Zhang Jiuling was selfless, outspoken and courageous as an official, humble and courteous, and graceful. Acts of integrity and goodness will enlighten and guide those who are good and upright. Like Wang Fangqing, Zhang Shuo, Shen Qiqi and others treating themselves, Zhang Jiuling also paid great attention to the discovery of rewarding young talents. For example, he once selected Meng Haoran as his staff and recommended the promotion of Wang Wei as the right picker. There were many people of insight carried by Zhang Jiuling's hand.

"August Lake level, the meaning of the virtual mix is too clear. Vapor cloud Mengze, waves shake Yueyang City. If you want to help, you will be ashamed of the saints. Sit and watch the anglers, and envy the fish. Meng Haoran's famous work "Wangdongting Lake Gift to Zhang Cheng Xiang" was written to Zhang Jiuling. Many people may not know that Meng Haoran's purpose in writing this poem is actually to ask for officials. The meaning of the last four sentences of the poem is more subtle and tactful, that is, the author has the ambition to serve the country and serve the people, and he is also envious of those high-ranking officials who are above the temple and have the opportunity to display their ambitions and talents. Because no one recommended it, I was older, or a cloth coat. The subtext is very clear, that is, I hope that the prime minister can do this Bole.

He also blamed Meng Haoran for being too talented, and wrote an important official letter into a magnificent and imposing famous passage through the ages. If you want to choose the most cattle cover letter in history, Meng Haoran's poem is definitely the first. In the Tang Dynasty, the influence of poetry on social life was really extensive and deep. Therefore, some Tang poems cannot be read simply as poetry. Perhaps feeling that although Meng Haoran wrote well poetry, he was not suitable for being an official, and Zhang Jiuling did not use the power in his hands to promote and reuse his former subordinate.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Jiuling actively initiated and presided over the construction of the Meiguan Ancient Road in Dayuling, Guangdong Province, during his resignation and leisure time. Previously, between Lingnan in the mainland, Dayuling Meiguan was a must-pass place. The mountains here are steep and the walking is extremely difficult, and it is known for its "extremely difficult people". In order to build this road, Zhang Jiuling tirelessly repeatedly surveyed and personally commanded the dispatch on the spot to ensure the smooth completion of the project. After the opening of the Meiguan Ancient Road, it greatly facilitated the transportation between the mainland and Lingnan, and played a huge role in the exchange of personnel and materials between the north and the south. Because of this, some contemporary people compare this ancient road to the "ancient Beijing-Guangzhou Line".

Whether it is character, official character, or literary products, Zhang Jiuling has achieved impeccable and can be called a god-level existence. Therefore, Zhang Jiuling has not only been revered and admired by his contemporaries, but also admired by future generations for more than 1300 years, and this reverence and admiration is not controversial. As long as history survives and cultures do not perish, this reverence and admiration will continue. Tang Xuanzong was an emperor who was not easy to serve, but he was also conquered by Zhang Jiuling's ability to learn and be graceful. After Zhang Jiuling's death, whenever someone recommended an important minister to Tang Xuanzong, he would always ask, "Can this person have the ability, discipline, temperament and demeanor of Zhang Jiuling?"

As a politician, Zhang Jiuling has a keen eye and insight. Zhang Jiuling concluded that An Lushan would definitely cause chaos in the world, and suggested that Tang Xuanzong deal with it early. Tang Xuanzong took this contrarian advice as a bystander, and he also had annoying remarks about Zhang Jiuling. Shortly after Zhang Jiuling's death, the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out. In the face of chaos, Tang Xuanzong, who was in a state of rage, beat his chest and regretted that he was not in the beginning.

A good person, including a good person who loves to write poetry, may not be able to write good poetry for generations. A bad person may write good poetry, such as Li Yifu. Reading the poetry of people like Li Yifu, we must separate people from poetry, otherwise it will make people feel very awkward. Reading a good poem written by a good man is a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Zhang Jiuling, a good man and a good official, is also an outstanding poet. Reading Zhang Jiuling's personality, such as sipping a mellow and fragrant aged wine, is fascinating. Admire Zhang Jiuling's poems, such as drinking pure and sweet mountain springs, making people refreshed. Regardless of his character and poetry, Zhang Jiuling is revered and admired, and the aftertaste is endless. Such a realm is difficult to achieve.

Zhang Jiuling's poems, deeply influenced by Chu Ci, pay attention to the pursuit and praise of noble personality and ethics, whether they write scenes or feel lyrical, and reach the realm of scene blending. In terms of artistic techniques, Zhang Jiuling uses Xingyu a lot, and the words and sentences are exquisite, which is both fresh and timeless, but also subtle and euphemistic. Here, let us appreciate Zhang Jiuling's two masterpieces. First, "Looking at the Moon and Looking Far Away": "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time." The lover complained about the night, and even thought of each other at night. Extinguish the candle and fill the light, and the cloak feel dewy. Can't afford to give away, but also sleep in the dream of a good period. Second, "Xijiang Night Walk": "Where are the people of the remote night, the Chengtan moon." Leisurely and spacious, cut to the hometown feelings. The foreign objects are silent, and the middle stream is clear. Thinking of returning to the forest leaf change, sitting sadly on Rewison. There are Tingzhou cranes, and the dawn is at first sound. ”

Some poets are good at writing scenes, and some poets are good at lyricism. Writing lyricism is better than one, which can be described as a good poem. These two poems by Zhang Jiuling can be called exemplary works of blending scenes and writing scenes with good lyricism. Reading these two poems, it is almost impossible to clearly and accurately distinguish which sentence is specially written for the scene and which sentence is specially lyrical, and truly achieves that the scene is the love and the love is integrated into the scene.

The two sentences in "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan" are "the moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time" are famous sentences for thousands of years. It looks plain and straightforward, like ten words in hand, but it creates a lofty and broad mood and expresses a frank and broad mind. Beginning with these two sentences, the realm of the whole poem suddenly stands up and rises. The person who "shares this time" under the "bright moon" is no longer just the "lover" of the "lovesickness", but has a great feeling of inclusiveness under the whole world. The so-called big stroke is not the accumulation of flowery words and the fabrication of difficult sentences. Using ordinary words and writing magnificent and timeless verses, this is the real big deal.

The artistic conception and sentiment of the famous phrase "the sea is born of the bright moon, and the end of the world is at this time" has deeply influenced countless outstanding poets throughout the ages. The Song Dynasty great writer Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head (When the Bright Moon Has)" is recognized as a song for eternity. Among them, the famous sentence "I hope that people will be long-lasting, and thousands of miles will be cherished together", which is obviously inspired and influenced by Zhang Jiuling's famous sentence. It is not shameful to use the words and verses of predecessors, the key lies in whether you can pin your own unique emotions and create a new mood.

At present, many officials like to write poetry, and people jokingly call it "old cadre body" or "official body". Zhang Jiuling is also an official, compared with the two, how can the gap between writing poetry be so large? Those who regard the lines of words as poetry, if they can really read Zhang Jiuling's poems, should have a feeling of being loveless. Of course, this does not include those who do not have self-awareness.
