I remember that in "Divine Eagle Heroes", the Chi Lian Immortal Li Mo was worried, and she silently read: "Ask the world, what is love, and teach people to live and die?" "More than ten years have passed, and my heart is full of hatred born of love. In the end, buried in the fire of the Valley of Despair, she still read: "Ask the world, what is love, and the Zhijiao life and death promise?" She was trapped by love all her life and never understood these two words.
Ask the world, what is love, orthodox life and death?
This is an ancient famous sentence of the Jin Dynasty poet Yuan Haoqing.
This question that broke through the air for thousands of years caused red dust to think and reverie about how many idiot men and women complained.
Perhaps, the question itself is the answer.
There are many prodigies in the history of ancient Chinese literature. Sima Guang, who smashed the cylinder to save people, Wang Bo, who could write articles at the age of five, Luo Binwang, who sang the praise of "goose and goose" at the age of seven, and Cao Chong, who found another way to say that he was successful...
Yuan haoqing is also a member of the prodigy team.
At the end of the 11th century, Yuan Haowen was born in Xinzhou, Shanxi Province, to a family of scholars. During this period, the Song, Jin, Yuan, and three dynasties faced each other, and wars were frequent. In the dark, this also laid the realistic foundation for his later famous "funeral poems".
The good educational environment he received from an early age, coupled with his talent, Yuan Haowen was able to write poetry at the age of five, and read a subset of the history of the Bible at the age of fourteen, and won the reputation of "prodigy".
Han Window studied hard for many years, starting at the age of sixteen, Yuan Haowen embarked on a long road of scientific expeditions.
Although Yuan Haowen was praised by the townspeople as a "prodigy", but his luck in the examination was very poor, from the beginning of participating in the scientific examination, repeatedly failed, until the age of thirty-two, the fifth time to participate in the scientific examination, finally entered the army and the first.
Fate tricked many lovers, it was difficult to pass the exam, but because of the exam room dispute was framed. Indignant, Yuan Haoqing gave up his job opportunity.
Yuan Haoqing later served as a county commander in many places, clean and fair, and in the local county chronicle, he left a praise record of "good governance is particularly good" and "Shuai Fu Order Zhen Fu, even wei Hui".
At its most glorious, Yuan Hao asked the official to the Jin Dynasty Hanlin zhizhi, the scenery was infinite, and later fell into the abyss and became a prisoner of the Yuan Dynasty.
Life is like walking on the road, the road under your feet is ups and downs, bumpy, and never unpredictable.
When he was sixteen years old, Yuan Hao asked to grow into a young man, and he was full of energy and went to Hezhou to catch the exam.
On the road, who you meet and what you hear is fate.
On the way, he met a hunter who told him about a rare event that happened during the hunt:
He caught a goose and killed it, and the other goose had broken free of the net, but refused to leave, and kept crying, and finally threw himself to the ground and died.
This story deeply touched the sensitive and sentimental heart of the teenager, he paid money to buy the pair of geese, buried them on the edge of the Fenshui, stacked stones as a logo, named it "Yanqiu", and wrote a poem for them, that is, his masterpiece "Touching the Fish • Yanqiu Words":
Ask the world, what is love, orthodox life and death? The sky is south and the north are double flyers, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Rejoice in fun, parting from suffering, there are even more idiot children. Junying has a word: The clouds of the thousands of miles, the twilight snow of a thousand mountains, only the shadow goes to whom? Hengfen Road, lonely drums, desolate smoke is still flat. Summoning some souls, the mountain ghosts cry out in the wind and rain. Heaven is also jealous, unbelieving, warblers swallows are yellow earth. Throughout the ages, in order to stay for the rioters, they sang and drank bitterly, and visited the Yanqiu.
Yuan Haoqing felt that the ultimate love in the world, like this pair of geese, foamed at each other until death. He seemed to see the situation in which the two of them were dependent on each other before, spring and autumn, double flight, never separated for a moment, and accompanied by infatuation for a lifetime.
He stood in the perspective of the martyred goose and put himself in the position of suspense, after losing his partner, it must be crying: from now on, "The clouds of the thousands of miles, the twilight snow of a thousand mountains, only the shadow goes to whom?" ”
Heart-wrenching, touching and sad!
The area around Fenshui is the place where Emperor Wu of Han cruised. Back then, the drums here were noisy and lively, but now it is a barren grass and is unusually deserted.
Yuan Hao asked and thought that the country and mountains are easy to change, the dynasties are replaced, and the deep affection of the wild geese's life and death will last forever in the praise of the literati and inkers.
The geese are wordless and affectionate, and the people who buy geese, bury geese, write geese, and praise geese are even more affectionate.
Many years have passed, the former teenager has stood, or not confused, or even older, he inadvertently found the "Goose Prisoner Words", re-read it, found that it is not very musical, so he fixed it. Thus, there is also the above love word that has been passed down through the ages.
There is no standard answer, and the world is always searching for the answer.
How many people in this world have a clean resume without the slightest stain?
The turmoil of the times, the change of government, Yuan Haowen wrote poems praising merit and virtue for the officials of the Yuan Dynasty, wrote letters to the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty to recommend the appointment of Confucians of the Jin Dynasty, and obeyed Kublai Khan as the "Great Master of Confucianism", a series of events that made his personal integrity controversial.
However, if a person wants to survive in a chaotic world and pursue something, how can he not be contaminated with the right and wrong of the worldly vat?
Yuan Haowen, who was once obsessed with obtaining meritorious names, later became famous for his poetry, and when the ruler threw an olive branch, he was no longer moved, but chose to return to his hometown to live in seclusion and compile books.
Yuan Haoqing is an all-rounder in literature, and has made achievements in different fields such as poetry, words, music, novels, and history:
His mournful poems gave him a place in the history of ancient Chinese literature. The Yuan Dynasty literary scholar Li Ye praised him as "the descendant of Er Li (Li Bai and Li Yong)"; the modern historian Miao Yu even commented that he was the "generation of masters of the Jin Dynasty";
His words, the crown of the Jin Dynasty, are modeled after Su Shi and Xin Shuyi, not only the largest number of them in the Jin Dynasty, but also a wide range of themes;
His zhiwei novels, which are "exhorted to do good and abstain from evil without being useless";
His scattered music, which is groundbreaking, was rewarded by the Yuanshan composer Zhao Mengfu;
The Zhongzhou Collection, a collection of Jin Dynasty poetry compiled by him, has the value of "preserving history with poetry".
These literary achievements in different fields have won Yuan Haowen the titles of "Yuan Caizi", "Northern Wenxiong", and "Generation Wenzong", but what he likes and cares about most is another simple and rich title: poet.
To this end, he made instructions to his descendants before his death, and only seven words were inscribed on the tombstone:
The tomb of the poet Yuan Haoqing.
Zhao Yi, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem entitled "Poems on the Mountain", which also has a joint sentence: "The unfortunate poet of the country is fortunate to be endowed with vicissitudes." ”
Yuan Haoqing's life is like this, passing through the rise and fall of history, personal vicissitudes, no matter what kind of right and wrong and reputation he has experienced, he always has compassion and writes his own affection in the stories of others.
