Lingnan Junyan, Conghua Caizi
The mountains are quiet at night, and Qingxi is alone.
The light wind is low dancing butterflies, and the rapid rain should be sung by the dove.
Chicken dog peach blossom bank, people Du Ruozhou.
The spring clothes in the old garden are good, and you should not be tired of traveling.

This poem is simple and elegant, the pen is natural, written by mountains and water, wind and rain, from far and near, and finally back to their own state of mind, the level is clear, and the road is eloquent. The magic is more in the poem, the artistic conception is spread out, just like a picture of the life of a peasant family along the river slowly unfolding, sweeping away the sense of urban hustle and bustle, beautiful and pleasant, suddenly cheerful.
Who is the author of such an unconventional poem? He is the representative of Lingnan culture in the Ming Dynasty, One of the ten sons of Nanyuan Li Minbiao, a native of Xinnan Village, Conghua Hot Spring Town.

One Door Three Jun Conghua Legend
On the one hand, the water and soil nourish the other side, probably only conghua such green mountains and green waters, Zhong Lingyuxiu, was imprinted in the depths of Li Minbiao's soul early on, and nourished such outstanding talents: for the officials, they are honest and honest, for the literature is simple and splendid, the writing is rigorous and calm, and the painting is vigorous. Looking at his surviving works, it is vaguely as if he sees a naked Confucian, gentle and thick, and has the wind and bones of the way to return to the tao.
In the magical land of Conghua, there are not only the magic of nature, but also the place where the popular characters soar. 500 years ago, the legend of The Three Jinshi and the Four Township Sages was born in Shaodong County, Conghua County, Mingguang Province (present-day Xinnan Village, Wenquan Town, Conghua District, Guangzhou).

The Li clan of the Li people began with their grandfather Li Yuanchang, because of their filial piety and virtue, they began to have a virtuous name and entered the ancestral hall of the township. After that, the Li clan, which was influenced by the family atmosphere, Li Minbiao's father, Li Guan, became the first person to be admitted to the jinshi after the establishment of Hua county in the twelfth year of Ming Zhengde, and Li Minzheng(Li Minbiao's younger brother) and Li Minbiao's own son Li Bangyan were successively admitted to the jinshi in the past 60 years. A three-way soldier has become a legendary story in Conghua.
Although Li Minbiao did not enter the army, in the legend of the Li family, it is the most dazzling, because of its poetry and literary creation and calligraphy and painting achievements, it has a profound impact on the development of Conghua and even the entire Lingnan literature, becoming a colorful cultural business card in Conghua.
A life of honesty and honesty, for the officials and the people
The era in which Li Minbiao lived (1515~1581) was about 500 years ago, and experienced the four dynasties of Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, which was the turning point of the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline. Like most Confucian students, Li Minbiao embraced the political ideal of "governing the country and the family and the world" and entered the career path. Throughout his life, Li Minbiao was honest and honest as an official, and often spoke out for the suffering of the people. Take a look at his "Yun Ding Xing":
"Lucky Line"
The Yellow River is hard to transport, and it is not worth the mud road, that is, the wind and rain.
Thousands of miles often travel for more than half a year, and get the capital half as soil.
Big cars and small cars lost to the warehouse, but the officials used large amounts.
Picked into granules as bright as jade, reverted to the chaff with the wind wheel.
The rats and finches in the barn are full of beaks, and the words are not in line with the flogging.
The entrance is not full of mud and sand, and it is better to sleep in a single coat.
The tragic fate of the Yellow River transporters written in the poem is impressive, lack of food and clothing, and frequent whipping, in contrast to the officials and magnates in the capital, who are as insatiable as rats, and continuously load grain into their own granaries.
Verses like this abound.

The wind chased Du Fu and was famous in Lingnan
In terms of cultural achievements, Li Minbiao created a large number of poems in his lifetime, and there are 1730 poems only from the "YaoshishanRen Manuscript" (Li Minbiao's name Yaoshishanren) included in the "Four Libraries Complete Book". Among them, there are not only the sprinkling of his lofty ambitions, but also the splashing of ink of needlework and the shortcomings of the times, but also the expression of sympathy for the sorrows of the lower-class people, as well as many landscape idylls that sing mountains and rivers, send out ancient and modern humor and idyllic and wild.
In the creation of poetry, Li Minbiao involves a wide range of subjects, and what he sees and feels are all transported to the pen. In terms of creative techniques, the ancient poetry has a rigorous structure and elegant language, and the near-body poetry is depressed and frustrated, and the pen is calm, especially the needle of the times, the feelings of worrying about the country and the people, concern for reality, sincere emotions, and quite Du Fu's legacy. Try to see one of his poems "Four Songs of Yanjing Qiuhuai":
"Four Songs of Yanjing Autumn Huai"
Beiguo Qiuyin received the Nine Yaos, and took the stage to look at it and hurt his soul.
Before the frost, the anvil pestle moved, and the sunset was windy and dusty.
The heavens have violated the climbing phoenix, and the mountain is especially reminiscent of Wolong Village.
The lonely boat was vague and worried, afraid of entering the maple forest and breaking the ape.
In addition to the sadness and depression images commonly found in Du Du's poems such as "Autumn Yin", "Before Frost", "Sunset", "Lonely Boat", etc., conveying the poet's unsuccessful career and the melancholy of the Ming Lord's rare encounters, "Anvil Before Frost Anvil Pestle Thousand Family Movements" more obviously uses Du Fu's "Eight Songs of Autumn Xing" in one of the "White Emperor City High And Rapid Twilight Anvil". In the later poems of Li Minbiao, there are also a large number of examples, which can be seen in Du Fu's shadow. The same worries about the country's nomads, the same nostalgia, so that Li Min's poems, whether in form or content, have left Du Fu's mark deeply, but they are sincere and sincere, and they are not imitated.

Regardless of the quantity of creation or the quality of creation, Li Minbiao can be called a giant in the poetry circle of the Ming Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty Qujiang poet Zhang Jiuling pioneered a generation of poetic styles, Lingnan poets have once again stood proudly at the head of the tide, successively including Sun Rui, Wang Zuo, Huang Zhe, Li De, Zhao Jie, and Zhao Jie, as well as ou Daren, Liang Youyu, Li Minbiao, Wu Dan, Li Shixing and other five mr. of the South Garden, "and the last five mr.s are Yousheng" (Qing Ren Tan Cui), which has a greater influence. Among them, Li Minbiao is one of the leaders and the backbone of the literary world, which has a far-reaching influence on lingnan poetry.
Hanging officials return to the field poetry for fun
For the future and destiny of the country and the lives of the people, Li Minbiao hoped to have some deeds and responsibilities, but the darkness and filth of the officialdom in his period had been shocking, and during the Jiajing period, Li Minbiao, who was even more a traitor and did not want to be in the same stream, resigned three times, eager to return to the countryside and live a simple and peaceful life.
After resigning and returning to Guangdong, Li Minbiao settled in the foothills of Yuexiu Mountain in Guangzhou, and finally lived a quiet life of poetry, singing and singing, sangma pastoral, and expressed his ambitions with landscapes and rivers, and expressed his ambitions with poetry and painting.
The love for his hometown Conghua has inspired the poetry of Li Minbiao. Among them, the six songs of Conghua Landscape are songs of the beauty of Conghua Mountains and Waters, from which we can also see the beauty of Conghua Landscapes and Rivers, the beauty of wind and human feelings, which has a long history, and may wish to look through the eyes of the poet to see the beauty of Conghua in the past.
"Liu Xianyan"
(Lai Min Table Conghua Liu Yong 1)
Where is the feather ride now, the traces of Dan Ti still exist.
The gold millet is dark, and the book is purple.
Autumn water makeup mirror, spring wind cover the cave door.
The empty mountain is no one, and the white dew is wet.
It depicts Liu Xiangu Rock on the Fengyun Ridge, about three miles from conghua county seat. During the Ming Dynasty, a shrine was built to worship, but now there is no trace of it. When Li Minbiao searched, the temple was still there, and the purple platform was also full of books, but the clouds were deep, the people were few, and there was no trace of the fairy.
