Introduction: Luo Yin, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, failed to pass the examination more than a dozen times, and was called "the first of the ten". He used just 28 words to express his dissatisfaction, became a song for thousands of years and was selected into the "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty".
The allusion of "ten upper and not the first" has let more people know About Luo Yin, making Luo Yin even more famous. But for Luo Yin, "ten is not the first" is the "pain" and regret of his life.
The imperial examination system recruited a large number of talents for the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of students went to the peak of their lives through the imperial examination system, and because of the relative fairness of the imperial examination, especially people like Zhang Jiuling, Bai Juyi, and Yuan Shu, they became senior members of the DPRK and even the prime minister through the examination of the imperial examination.
There are also cold students like MengJiao, who have successfully achieved the "Di Si Counterattack" through the imperial examination system. This makes all the students of Tang Dynasty take keju high school as the biggest goal and direction of struggle in life.
But the title of the gold list is not easy to talk about, and many people are also talented. And Luo Yin was undoubtedly the most miserable of these talented people who had fallen behind, because he had participated in more than a dozen scientific expeditions before and after, all of which ended in the name of Luosun Mountain.
Luo Yin was born in 833, during the reign of Emperor Wenzong of Tang, and died in 910, three years after Liang Kaiping. Luo Yinzi Zhaozhi, a native of Hangzhou Xincheng, was a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty.
He was famous in his hometown at a young age, but at the age of 25, he came to the capital with a dream, preparing for the next year, that is, in 859. But I'm afraid that even he didn't think of it, that is, from this year on, he began his nightmarish scientific expedition.
In 859, although he was a little depressed after taking the exam, Luo Yin quickly adjusted his mood and began a journey north to Tongzhou, Xiazhou and other places. But from then on he was in no mood to travel, because from 860 onwards, he took the exam for seven years, and without exception, it ended in failure.
Of course, he did not give up after dreaming of the Dragon Gate of Fish Leaping, and after 870, he took the exam several times intermittently, of course, it ended in the name of Sun Shan, so Luo Yin had the "Ten Not the First", which made him depressed.
Due to the Huangchao Rebellion in 878, although he still had the dream of Keju, he had to live in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain. It was precisely because of this that Luo Yin's dream of the imperial examination was completely shattered.
However, due to his outstanding talent, although Luo Yin did not win the jinshi, in 887, he was favored by the Wuyue king Qian Wei and became an official under the Wuyue king. Under King Wu Yue, Luo Yin served as Qiantang Ling, Si Xun Lang Zhong, and Zhi Shi Zhong.
"Bee", also known as "Wing Bee", is a very famous poem, and it has also been selected as "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty". "Bee" is a poem by which Luo Yin praises the industrious and fearless people by describing the toiling and busy life of the little bee to make honey, while at the same time satirizing those who get it for free.
In fact, there are also some who use this poem to express their dissatisfaction with repeated failures, alluding to the fact that the imperial examination of the late Tang Dynasty is no longer so "fair". Let's start with this poem:
Wing bees 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?
The poem probably means that wherever there are flowers blooming on flat land or in high mountains, there are little bees working hard. In order to make nectar, the bees have collected a hundred flowers, but they have worked hard, but they cannot taste the fruits of labor, and the sweetness of the nectar, who do you want to taste?
The poem is short of 28 words, which also seems very simple, but describes the bees picking flowers and making honey. But it's really meaningful.
"For whom is it sweet for whom?" It is the finishing touch of this poem, Luo Yin through this poem, not only praises the bee industriousness, satirizes the "injustice" of the society at that time, but also through it, expresses Luo Yin's strong worries about the Tang Dynasty at that time, as well as his own origins, he is thinking about why he is not a busy little bee?
Luo Yin wrote many satirical poems in his lifetime, most of which were intended to expose the dark side of late Tang society. Although he is "not the first in ten", this does not prevent him from having a patriotic and worried heart, as well as his ideals and ambitions to contribute his talents to Datang.
And this "Wing Bee" is the best of Luo Yin's many satirical poems. Liu Yongji said in the "Essence of The Tang Dynasty's Absolute Sentences": "The poetry seems to have some understanding, but it is actually a lament for the people of the world to work hard for Li Lu." "
