Do you know the story of Luo Yin?

Luo Yin, the story of his life is worth telling you. Probably most people don't know Luo Yin as a person, but they must have heard about the two poems of "There is wine in this dynasty and drunkenness in this day, and tomorrow is sad and tomorrow is sad".

【Origins and Legends】

First of all, about his origin, there are many legends about Luo Yin, and word of mouth is passed on.

Luo Yin was born in the new city of Hangzhou on the 23rd day of the first month of the seventh year (833) of the late Tang Dynasty. According to previous sources, his ancestors had been high officials, and by the time of his father's generation, his father was a farmer, and legend has it that his father went up the mountain to watch the crops in the summer, met a tigress, and fell in love with him and gave birth to a son, that is, Luo Yin. There is also a legend that there is a green qi and a white gas on the Ding River near the new city, which is directly in the sky of the river all year round, and is known as the two qi veins of the new city Wen and Wu. After Luo Yin was born, the literary qi disappeared. People in the neighboring townships said that Luo Yin was born out of the cultural atmosphere of the new city and would have a great future in the future.

Luo Yin was an orphan when he was a child, dependent on his grandmother for his life, and became famous in the township as a child for his talents. He was able to write poetry and good writing, and there are historical records that "Shao Yingmin, good at belonging to the text, poetry pen You Junba". Luo Yin was intelligent from an early age, and he could compose at the age of seven, and by the time he was a little older, his literary talent had been passed down to the township. Together with the other two talents of the same ethnic group, they are collectively known as "Three Luos", namely "Luo Yin, Luo Qi, and Luo Ye".

In fact, there are many folk legends about Luo Yin, Luo Yin is called "Earth Immortal", and the legend is "True Dragon Heavenly Son". The Jade Emperor was afraid that if he became emperor, he would make trouble, so he sent the Heavenly Soldier Heavenly General to exchange Luo Yin's immortal bones. At that time, Luo Yin clenched his teeth, and all the immortal bones in his body were replaced, only the gum bones could not be replaced, although he could not become an emperor, he left a "sage mouth". It is strange to say that Luo Yin said whatever he said, and everyone wanted to please him and say good things, but they were also afraid of provoking him to say bad things. At present, there are still many interesting anecdotes about Luo Yin in this regard.

Yulin has two rivers, the South Stream River and the North Stream River, which are said to have been the same river in the past. Luo Yin learned that the local people were suffering greatly, so he mobilized the people to pick up stones to block the river in a suitable position, and the flooding also decreased, and later generations sang praises for it, which evolved into the legend that he picked a stone mountain to block the diversion.

【Ten on the first】

In the twelve or three years from the end of the thirteenth year of Da Zhong (859) to the beginning of the Jingshi Entrance Examination, Luo Yin participated in more than ten jinshi examinations, all of which returned home, and the history is called "ten is not the first".

Twenty-seven-year-old Luo Yin participated in the scientific expedition for the first time, named Sun Shan, missed for three consecutive years, the pocket was empty, there was no one around to help, Luo Yin was hungry and cold, and he was plagued with illness. Poor and sick, Luo Yin looked around dazedly and wrote "Throwing Thoughts":

Haggard Chang'an did what he did, and the traveler's soul was desperate to doubt himself.

There is no return to the blue mountains of Manchuan, and there are tears in the red dust.

The carving should only be labored by the craftsman, and the anointing will eventually be mistaken for Qin doctors.

Floating seventy to thirty, from now on the misery is unknown.

Since then, Luo Yin's poetry articles have either implied irony or "lost" the severity.

In the five years of Xiantong, Luo Yin fell off the list for the fifth time, and many of the sons who fell in the same period left the Beijing Division, and Luo Yin wrote "Send Gu Yunxia":

The line of wine is not frequent, and the lament is that the song has not been extended.

The harem of the Han Emperor was literate, and the front hall of the King of Chu was even more empty.

In the depths of his life, he was poorly clothed, and Murata was poor.

A hundred years old has come for a few more days, and it is unbearable to be separated and hurt spring.

Some people analyze the reasons for Luo Yin's repeated failures, one is appearance, and the other is personality.

(1) Appearance:

According to the New Book of Tang and Electoral Records, there are four methods for selecting people:

One is the body, the physique is magnificent; the second is the speech, the words are correct; the third is the book, the law is beautiful; the fourth is the judgment, the literature is excellent.

In today's words, it is the first look at looks, the second look at speech, the third look at handwriting, and finally read the article, talented but more awkward-looking Luo Yin is naturally difficult to be hired.

Judging people by their appearance has been the same since ancient times, like the Zhong Kui we are more familiar with. According to the data, Zhong Kui was a southern Mountain scholar in the early Tang Dynasty, born with a leopard head and ring eyes, iron-faced sideburns, and a strange appearance; however, he was a talented, full-fledged figure, plain and upright, upright, and treated people with integrity. In the year when Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, he went to Chang'an to take the exam, and Zhong Kui composed five poems of "Yingzhou to Be Feasted", which was praised by the chief examiner as a "wizard" and taken as the head of the gongshi. However, during the temple examination, the traitorous minister Lu Qi actually judged people by their appearance and repeated rumors, so that he was defeated. Zhong Kui's defense was fruitless, and he was indignant, and he died by crashing into the temple pillar in anger, shaking the earth and weeping ghosts and mourning.

How ugly is that Luo Yin, let's look at it from the side, it is said that after the Prime Minister Qianjin, who had admired him for a long time, saw him, he decisively tore off all the poems that had once collected him, and then blacked out, and there was no contact, as recorded in the "Old Five Dynasties History, Liang Shu Luo Yin Biography":

Although hidden in the negative text, it looks ancient and ugly. The young woman had a literary nature, tasted the hidden poems, and recited them sarcastically, suspecting that her daughter had the meaning of Mu Cai. One day, hidden to the first, Zheng Nu hung the curtain and peeped at it, and she would never sing her poems.

This innate appearance is the first reason why he was not hired, and the most important thing is the second, personality.

(2) Personality.

Luo Yin was self-confident and straightforward, and he refused to restrain his sharp edge when participating in the scientific examination, and the irony of his test paper text was too strong. In ancient China, which was gentle and frugal, it was completely different, and it was in a very isolated situation. No matter how well the examination paper is done, it is a bad review, and every examiner has lit a red light on him, which is recorded in the "History of the Old Five Dynasties":

Hidden poems are famous in the world, especially in the history of Yong, but many ridicules, so they do not win the first.

With such a personality, I don't blame others.

In the eighth year of Xiantong, Luo Yin came to Chang'an again, and he had already fallen six times, and he felt the situation in the past few years, and he made a big stroke:

The sick want to heal the door and long for plums, and the heart of the ten years has only turned to ashes.

Knowing that the world has been like this, it is lonely and cold.

The valley side is thick and high, and the sound of the sting side is warm and thunderous at first.

The city is full of peaches and Li Jun looks at it, and one by one it is still opened from the old place.

【Yunying is not married】

Talented and beautiful, since ancient times.

When he first entered Chang'an, Luo Yin was twenty-seven years old.

On the way to the exam, pass by the Bell Tomb. Luo Yin exited into a chapter, full of belly to learn to pour out the crowd. At that time, one of the singers in the hall had a beautiful posture, a light posture, and a good understanding of the rhythm, and talked with Luo Yin very well. This person's name is Yunying, and he has heard the name of Luo Yin's poem earlier.

In Yun Ying's heart, Luo Xianggong went here, and he was bound to be a high school in one fell swoop, and the overnight relationship with Luo Xianggong was really a great blessing.

Twelve years later, in the winter, Luo Yin passed by Zhong Ling again. At this time, Luo Yin, who was nearly confused, no longer had the sharpness of a teenager. Falling behind again, he was afraid of the interrogation of acquaintances, and he did not expect to meet Yunying again in ZhongLing.

When Yun Ying saw Luo Yin, he thought that he was a juju official, and he thought that twelve years later, Luo Xianggong would once again fall into the name of Sun Shan!

Yun Ying is still beautiful, her figure is still delicate, but her face has a touch of worldly vicissitudes. When Luo Yin learned that Yunying was still registered and had not yet married a woman, he wrote a book and wrote a poem "Mocking Zhong Ling Prostitute Yunying":

Zhong Ling was drunk for more than ten years and saw Yun Ying's palm again.

I am not famous and unmarried, maybe I am inferior?

The heartache, bitterness, unwillingness, and self-deprecation in this poem can be described as a mixture of feelings and mixed tastes!

【Misery in old age】

Some people say that Luo Yin had a Tang In his heart, and when he roamed the Shu land and came to the garrison of Zhuge Wuhou's Northern Expedition, he sighed and wrote a poem "Chip Pen Yi":

Throwing Nanyang as the main worry, the Northern Expedition to the East to make good preparations.

When the heavens and the earth work together, the heroes are not free.

The Thousand Mile Mountain River is light, and the two dynasties crown swords hate Zhou.

Only the amorous water under the remaining rocks, like a year-round flow.

It is worth mentioning that in ancient times, Xi Shi was the daughter of the subjugated country, but Luo Yin did not think so. He wrote poems in defense of Xi Shi:

The rise and fall of the family country has sometimes occurred, and the Wu people have complained bitterly about Xi Shi.

If Xi Shi dissolved the State of Wu, who would be the fall of the Yue Kingdom?

Straightforward verses, without flowery rhetoric, contain a lot of truth.

Although he did "Self-Dispatch" to express his nostalgia:

Gain is to sing and lose, sentimentality and hatred are also leisurely.

There is wine in this day and drunk in this day, and tomorrow is sad and tomorrow is sad.

But never forget the Tang Dynasty in his heart, in the first month of 910 AD, Luo Yin died in Hangzhou at the age of seventy-eight.

Luo Yin's lifelong thought belonged to the Taoists, and his poetry was extremely successful and his fate was uncertain, and he ended with a poem by Luo Yin, the shopkeeper's own favorite.

Lu Xun's "The Crisis of Essays": "The poetic style of the late Tang Dynasty declined, and the sketches shone with brilliance." But Luo Yin's "Book of Rumors" is almost all about resistance and indignation; Pi Rixiu and Tortoise Meng, who think of themselves as hermits, are also called hermits by others, and looking at their essays in "Pi Zi Wen Xue" and "Kasawa Series", they have not forgotten the world, it is the brilliance and sharpness in a mud pond of mud. ”

bee

Regardless of the flat land or the tip of the mountain, the infinite scenery is occupied.

After harvesting a hundred flowers into nectar, for whom to work hard for whom to sweet?

This is a poem of poetry, the first two sentences write that the bee flew to the top of the flat mountain, experienced the infinite beautiful scenery, tirelessly worked hard, and did not fear hardships. The last two sentences write that bees collect hundreds of flowers and make honey for people to enjoy, work hard for people, and give people sweetness. By describing the natural phenomenon of bees picking flowers and making nectar for people to enjoy, this poem compares the reality that the fruits of labor of the vast number of working people are cruelly exploited by the feudal ruling class, and shows the poet's sympathy for the working people.
