Although he is extremely ugly, he is upright and fearless, and he is pure and pure. He failed ten times in a row, but he still regarded his name as dung.
He used ruthless irony and revelation to pierce the dark darkness of the late Tang Dynasty and bring the last breath of righteousness to the tang dynasty that was weakening day by day.
He has experienced repeated attempts to admit his fate, but after he has been exiled, he has ushered in the opening of his life. He is Luo Yin.
Teenagers become famous, and young people do not know the difficulties of the world
In the seventh year of Yamato (833), Luo Yin was born in the beautiful new city of Hangzhou, and was originally named Luo Heng as a child. He has been very talented and learned since childhood, and he is determined to participate in the imperial examination and realize the ideal of life of serving the country and the world.
In the thirteenth year of da zhong (859), it was already the first time that Luo Yin, who was a person, participated in the imperial examination.
At this time, he was young and crazy, full of ambition, but at this time, the Tang Dynasty was no longer the prosperous Tang Dynasty of Emperor Taizong--the monarch fainted and the imperial court fell.
The imperial examination is operated by the dignitaries and nobles in the dark, and the admitted people are confused, but the truly talented are often blocked out.
Although Datang is no longer Sheng Tang, Luo Yin is still as proud as Li Bai. The first time he participated in the imperial examination, the content of the exam was simply pediatrics for him who was full of talent.
So he wrote a dragon snake, the first to hand in the papers, and, arrogantly, he also satirized in the examination paper whether the official who had Alzheimer's disease.
He fully believed that there was a name on the list, and it should be a champion, or a list of eyes, at least a jinshi.
Perhaps he also expected Li Bai to "call the Son of Heaven not to come on the ship, claiming that his subject was a wine immortal."
Colliers took off his boots, Yang Guozhong grinded "such treatment." But as a result, his name fell to Sun Shan, and he was not even admitted to the ordinary jinshi.
He did not understand at all, not that he did not have the talent to learn, the article was not good, but his frivolous conceit made him recruit the taboo of the examiner.
However, the young man still believes in the beauty of the world, and believes that as long as he starts from scratch, he will certainly live up to his ideals.
He believed confidently that he was gold and would shine sooner or later, that he was a Maxima, that sooner or later he would meet Bole. Yes, he is indeed a Maxima.
But Han Yue had already said that there were often thousand-mile horses, but Bole did not often have them, and moreover, he was a thousand-mile horses that could kick people.
He was too confident, and all the time he was waiting for the second exam in Chang'an, he did not have a thorny strand like Su Qin, nor did he smell the chicken dancing like Zu Ti.
On the contrary, he toured Chang'an City over and over again, and by the way, he wrote down all those unpleasant things in Chang'an City, and scolded the clumsy children who were idle and did not learn any skills.
At this moment, he was completely famous in Chang'an City, not only because of his talent, but also because of his sharpness, in the eyes of the stupid disciples, he was an outlier, a hedgehog.
What is more serious is that in addition to satirizing these bad boys, he did not spare even the bureaucrats.
One day, Prime Minister Wei Yifan and Luo Yin took the same boat. Wei Yifan, dressed in official clothes and full of official manners, pointed fingers at the boatman and was arrogant.
Luo Yin shouted, "Where is the senior official, the articles that Luo Yin wrote with his foot clip pen are better than yours, don't believe that we will try to compete on the spot?" ”
Wei Yifan was so angry that he blew his beard and narrowed his eyes, wrote down Luo Yin, and fiercely attacked this arrogant student.
This was fatal to Luo Yin, who had neither a door nor a recommendation.
Perseverance, repeated attempts can not be cold in china
On the second exam, Luo Yin was still the first to hand in his papers, and just when the god of luck was about to patronize him, his arrogance once again made him pay the price.
Originally, Tang Zhaozong looked at Luo Yin's examination paper and felt that it was good and planned to hire, but Wei Yifan said on the side that Luo Yin "also knows Desheng Yao Shun, and Contends Fornai Yang Concubine to explain and laugh!" The verse is satirical of Tang Xuanzong.
When Tang Zhaozong heard this, he immediately crossed out Luo Yin's name.
Two times, Luo Yin was still not dead, his self-confidence was confident, but Tang Taizong could tolerate Wei Zheng, but Tang Zhaozong was not Tang Taizong.
In the third exam, he directly made Tang Zhaozong Long Yan angry.
Because this examination was catching up with the severe drought, Tang Zhaozong was so anxious that he was helpless, so he ordered the master to ask for rain, and the rain did not come, and Tang Zhaozong came up with an examination question, asking the disciples to give a strategy for preventing and controlling flood and drought disasters.
Luo Yin saw the great joy of the examination questions, and thought that he had encountered a good opportunity for him to offer practical advice to the imperial court and relieve the people's worries, so he wrote down ten thousand words.
Not only did he put forward specific measures for preventing and controlling flood and drought disasters, but he also incidentally criticized Tang Zhaozong's absurdity of temporarily clinging to the Buddha's feet and asking for rain, and suggested that Zhaozong should be diligent in his administration and love the people, plant trees and afforestation, and fundamentally prevent the occurrence of flood and drought disasters.
In the dark period of imperial politics, integrity requires courage and pays a price.
At that time, Han Yu was belittled for opposing Tang Xianzong's taking of the Buddha bone, so today Luo Yin also had the same experience, but he had no official to be degraded, so Zhaozong was angry and waved a big stroke, and Luo Yin fell behind again.
However, Luo Yin was a little frustrated, suspecting that the current emperor did not have the wisdom. The fortune teller told him that in this life he had no connection with the imperial examination, or to change to another line, and not to waste his life in this dead end.
Luo Yin did not believe in this evil and participated in the scientific expedition again, but his name had spread throughout the court, and the examiners saw him and sneered, but he was still arrogant and fearless.
Yes, I want Luo Yin to nod to you, admit your mistake and ask for forgiveness, there is no door! I'd rather be banned by you than crawl into my career.
His personality and the court of the late Tang Dynasty decided that he could not go to high school at all, and what made Luo Yin quite angry was that this time he did not win, and it was actually related to the examiner saying that he looked strange and ugly.
Today's Datang has reached the point of judging people by their appearance, so why do you have to struggle?
Luo Yin was extremely sad and indignant, but his strong personality made him never secretly wipe his tears in the corner, and he complained that his father did not give him a good face, so he picked up a pen and wrote many satirical articles about officials.
He wrote "Wind and Rain Pair": ghosts and gods use the power of heaven and earth, and wind and rain and snow frost are the basis of cattle and sheep. At what age? What are the people doing? It is because the avenue does not come out, afraid of its trouble, the big government does not smell it, and it is afraid of its theft.
He also wrote the "Book of Knowledge": And the deacons, the tijian pen for the national vermilion, the day and night outside the discussion, how many people have the same? How many people have won the king's praise? How many people have used it?
However, after applying for the exam again and again, luo Yin's remaining ambitions were constantly consumed, and after Xiantong fell off the list for the fifth time in five years, he 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.
Repeatedly failed, repeatedly failed, Luo Yin was like a tumbler, drilling into the tip of the bull's horn that did not recognize his life.
Sixth, seventh... Tenth time. Luo Yindu returned home, admit his fate! Without BoLe, the age is not spared. In desperation, he wrote "Feeling the Descendants Give Zhu Yi":
Twelve or three years on the trial period, the five lakes smoke moon nai contradictory.
How to buy Hu Sun Lane, laugh at the king and go.
Luo Yin was as persistent as Fan Jin, but after all, it was not Fan Jin, and it was impossible to sell his soul to Keju, so he decided to give up Keju. He burned all the books he had read for the exam and went to the tavern alone to get drunk.
He met Yunying, a prostitute he knew ten years ago, in a tavern, and Yunying saw that he was still dressed in plain clothes and had no high school, and jokingly said, "Why haven't you taken off your white yet?" ”
Speaking unintentionally, the listener had a heart, this sentence was like a knife, once again cutting through Luo Yin's wound that was about to heal--he actually lived to the point where even the qinglou woman couldn't look at it!
This night, Luo Yin did not return all night, did not sleep, he drank all night, wanted to use alcohol to anesthetize himself, but Li Taibai had already said: "Raise a glass to pour sorrow is more sorrowful", Luo Yin now has a deep understanding of this, so he once again moaned sadly:
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.
Wandering in the rivers and lakes, you have to meet the wide world of Bole
He completely confessed his fate, changed his name to Luo Yin and retired to the jianghu. He came to the land of Wuyue and surrendered to Qian Wei, who was a local warlord, but he was very fond of readers, especially attached importance to Luo Yin, and became a friend of him.
Luo Yin still did not change his blunt and sarcastic temperament, but Qian Wei was not picky at all, and almost obeyed.
In Wuyue, Luo Yin did not have to suffer for the imperial examination, nor did he have to worry about food and clothing, nor did he have the pain of "judging people by appearance".
He completely lived a life of poetry and wine, a free life of wandering skeletons, his talents, his pursuits, and his ideals, all of which were appreciated and displayed here.
Here, Luo Yin continues his self-confidence and arrogance, laughter and anger, self-confidence and arrogance, loyalty and fearlessness.
Moreover, Qian Wei also appointed him as Qiantang Ling, worshiping Salang. After Qian Weichong was the envoy of the naval festival, he recognized Luo Yin as the secretary in charge, and moved the judge of the festival, Si Xun Langzhong, and zhi Shizhong.
Because of Luo Yin's advice, Qian Wei was lenient and benevolent, adopted the strategy of guarding the land and protecting the border and the people, and vigorously developed the economy in Wuyue.
As a result, "the southeast water and soil are immortal, often endowed without loss, the years are repeatedly ascended, and the people are also established", so that Wu Yue has become a rare peaceful and prosperous place in the five generations, and he has become a rare lord of the five generations.
Qian Wei completed Luo Yin, and Luo Yin assisted Qian Yin, the best of both worlds, and achieved a fortunate thing in the world.
The Late Tang Dynasty could not tolerate Luo Yin, nor could he tolerate other people who were proud, talented, and ethical like Luo Yin, so he also had to accept his fate.
In 904, Zhu Wen killed Emperor Zhaozong of Tang and created the 13-year-old puppet emperor Li Zao as emperor.
The following year, Zhu Wen wantonly killed the courtiers, and more than thirty people were thrown into the Yellow River by Zhu Wen to feed the fish. In 907, Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and established Later Liang, beginning the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period" of warlords dividing and fighting.
Zhu Wen had heard of Luo Yin and wanted to recruit Luo Yin to be an official. Although Luo Yin was proud of his talents and pride, he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty himself, and of course he did not despise being with Zhu Wen, so he sternly refused Zhu Wen's summons and persuaded Qian Wei, the king of Wuyue, to "raise an army to cut down Liang".
Qian Wei had previously thought that Luo Yin had tried many times and must have a grudge against the Tang Dynasty, but now he saw that Luo Yin was clearly distinguished between public and private, just and righteous, and admired Luo Yin's personality even more.
Luo Yin lived comfortably to the age of 72 in Wu Yueguo and died on December 13, 2013, the third year of Later Liang Kaiping.
No regrets in this life, leaving a good name for posterity
Luo Yin, a fearless, honest and selfless person with extraordinary talent, persevered in the first half of his life to run for the imperial examination, consuming his youth, but in the end he found nothing.
In the second half of life, he achieved himself in a relaxed and casual way, and ushered in the opening up of life. But what he has not changed in his life is to use the pen as a gun, use ruthless criticism to expose, and unreservedly present his love for datang and ideals to the world.
Among the literati of the late Tang Dynasty, Luo Yin was miserable many times, but his bones were the hardest, his personality was extremely noble, and his talent was extremely dazzling.
It can be said that what supports Luo Yin to participate in scientific expeditions for ten consecutive times is by no means his enthusiasm for meritorious names, but his love and attachment to Datang.
And his casual freedom after the exile of Wu Yue also continued his love for tang, the times were changing, the situation was changing, and Luo Yin did not change at all.
Later generations have a very high evaluation of Luo Yin, "Tang Caizi Biography Wrote" :( Yin) Shao Yingmin, good at writing, poetry you Junba, yang Haoran qi ...
The Qing Dynasty poet Yuan Mu spoke highly of him: "The Three Lives Golden List has no name, and a volume of Tang poetry is the dynasty." ”
Lu Xun wrote in "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... It is the brilliance and sharpness of a mud pond in a mud pool. ”
"After harvesting a hundred flowers into nectar, for whom is it sweet for whom?" Life is often like this, there is a heart to plant flowers and flowers, no heart to plant willows. The more you want to get, the farther away from you, is our pursuit wrong?
Still is...... Ideals and reality are often the opposite of contradictions, and the openness of life sometimes does require effort to pursue, and sometimes it is obtained in giving up.
However, although the mountains and rivers are doubtful and there is no way, people with a beautiful life background will eventually be another village.
Luo Yin, like Chen Ziang, Wang Changling, Du Fu, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Su Shi and other literati throughout the ages, has forever engraved their pursuit of a pure and pure life in the memory of history.
It has become a dazzling brilliance and an inexhaustible spiritual food for Chinese literati.
