Beard comb hair palace-like makeup, Spring breeze song Du Wei Niang. Commonplace and idle things, Cut off the Gangnam thorn intestine.
The story of the idiom "commonplace" is recorded in Meng Tang's "Benshi Poem" in the late Tang Dynasty. "Liu Shangshu Yu Xi Hezhou, the main guest LangZhong and Jixian bachelor. Li Sikong dismissed the town in Beijing, Mu Liuming, tasted the invitation to the middle, and set up a drink and food. Drunk, fateful prostitute song to send it. Liu Yu wrote a poem on the table: ... Spring Breeze song "Du Wei Niang". It is common to see idle things, and cut off the Jiangnan thorn history intestines. Some of the poems and stories in Meng Tang's "Benshi Poems" are not found in the main history or the author's collection, and there are many distortions and distortions.
Meng Tang's "Benshi Poem" only records that the other protagonist of the story is Li Sikong, and does not clearly state who Li Sikong really is? In the Taiping Guangji ( Volume 177 • Instrument Volume II" compiled by Li Fang and others in the Song Dynasty, the record of Meng Tang's "Benshi Poem" was copied, but Li Sikong was changed to "Li Sheng", "Liu Shangshu Yu Xi And Zhou", as the main guest Lang Zhong, Ji Xian Bachelor, Li Sheng's town in Beijing".
Liu Yuxi left he in the second year of the Baoli calendar (826) and assassinated the history of Hezhou (which belonged to Huainan Province), and in the winter of that year he met Bai Juyi in Yangzhou and wrote the famous poem "Reward Lotte Yangzhou First Meeting on the Table". He did not expect to reach Luoyang until the spring of 827, so he wrote a poem that read, "Twenty-three years (805-827) abandonment." After returning to the eastern capital Luoyang, Liu Yuxi served in Shangshu Province. In 828, Liu Yuxi returned to the capital Chang'an and was appointed as the main guest (the chief guest of the Ceremonial Department) LangZhong, and at the recommendation of Pei Du, he was appointed as a Lang official to collect the Xianyuan scholars. If you take Liu Yuxi as the protagonist of "commonplace", the year in which the story takes place should be in 828.
Sikong(司空) and Taiwei (太尉) and Situ (司图) were Zhengyipin officials in the Tang Dynasty. After the Middle Tang Dynasty, "Sikong" was often appointed as an additional official or gift official of the feudal town jiedushi envoy, and this information can also be seen by the sentence "Li Sikong strikes the town in Beijing". First of all, look at Sikong as an additional official, such as Yu Wei in 798 who served as the envoy of Xiangzhou Thorn History and Shannan's Eastern Province, Li Shi called Yu Wei Yu Sikong, and there is a poem "Passing through Xiangyang on Sikong" as evidence. Another example is the Pinglu Qingzi Jiedushi Envoy Li Shidao (died in 819), the subtitle of Zhang's "Festival Woman Yin", calling him "Dongping Li Sikong Shidao". Looking at Sikong as a gift official, such as Ling Hu Chu died in the post of envoy of Shannan's Western Province, he posthumously gave Sikong.
If "Li Sikong" in the "Benshi Poem" refers to Li Sheng, then what kind of life trajectory did Li Sheng have between 827 and 828 AD? From the fourth year of Emperor Muzong's changqing (824) to the seventh year of Emperor Wenzong's reign (833), Li Shen served as Sima of Duanzhou (present-day Zhaoqing, Guangdong), Jiangzhou, Chuzhou, and Shouzhou for nearly ten years. Li Shen was in office for a long time, and between 827 and 828, Li Shen and Liu Yuxi did not intersect, so why should it be said that "Sikong boycotted the town in Beijing"? Therefore, Li Sikong in Meng Di's "Benshi Poem" is obviously not Li Sheng.
In the past, when he went to Wutai, Du Gonghong, the Grand Sima of Yangzhou, gradually feasted for Yu. Drunk back to the inn, slightly awake, saw the two women beside, surprised that I did not have also. Nai Yue: "Lang Zhong's seat with Sikong Shi, specially ordered Erle trick to sleep." "And the works that are drunk are not remembered." Ming Dan xiu qi Chen Xie, Du Gong also tolerated it, and He Shi's face was also. Yu Yilang is the state pastor, and the three divisions are light, but it is not enough! Poem: "Gao Gong Yun Gui Gong like makeup, spring wind a song "Du Wei Niang". It is commonplace to cut off the Suzhou thorn intestines. ” --Fan Xi, "Yunxi Friendship Discussion, Zhongshan Jie"
We see that the fourth sentence of "Yunxi Friendship" becomes "Jiangnan" and "Suzhou", and the host of the banquet becomes Du Hongwei. In addition to the "Yunxi Friendship Discussion", Wei Xuan's "Liu Guest Jia Sayings" also records that the host of the banquet was Du Hongwei. Wei Xuan was the son of Liu Yuxi's former friend Wei Zhiyi (one of the Eight Simas in the Eight Sima Incident of the Second King) and the son-in-law of Yuan Shu. Written 14 years after Liu Yuxi's death (856), the original book has been lost, and this book is now a compilation of posterity, so the credibility is not high.
Du Hongwei died in 769, Liu Yuxi was born in 772, and Du Hongwei and Liu Yuxi could not have had any intersection at all. However, Liu Yuxi's life did have a deep relationship with a "Du Gong", that is, his old superior Du You (the grandfather of the late Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu). In the sixteenth year of Zhenyuan (800), Liu Yuxi made Du You the shogunate secretary at Huainan Jiedu. In the nineteenth year of Zhenyuan (803), Du Youbai entered the inspection school. However, Du You died in 812, and Liu Yuxi served as the Assassin of Suzhou nearly 20 years after Du You's death, so the "Du Gong" in this story is not established, no matter who it is.
Yu Xi went to Wutai, Yangzhou Grand Sima Du Gong Hongwei, opened a banquet to order prostitutes to wait for wine, Yu Xi poetry said: "Gao Ji Yun Yu Palace like makeup, spring breeze a song Du Wei Niang." It is common to see idle things, and cut off the Suzhou thorn history sausage. ’ --Song Dynasty Ji Yougong, Chronicle of Tang Poetry, Vol. 39
In the Song Dynasty, Ji Yougong and others still recorded that the owner of the banquet was Du Hongxian, and later someone discovered the error, and the "History of the Remains of the Tang and Song Dynasties" (the original book no longer exists, and can only be found in volume 26 of the "Poetry Of the General Turtle", and the "Introduction" of volume 9 of the "Yuyin Cong's Later Collection of Yuyin Words of The Dragon") records that "Wei Yingwu went to the Grand Sima Du Hong gradual feast" and replaced Liu Yuxi with Wei Yingwu, on the grounds that he and Liu Yuxi also served as the Assassin of Suzhou, which only further contributed to the arrogance of "spreading false rumors".
In 760 AD, Du Hongzhi briefly served as the envoy of The Eastern Province of Zhejiang, in addition to that, he also served as the envoy of Hexi Jiedushi and the envoy of Jingnan Jiedushi. Du Hong gradually became the envoy of the feudal town and met the conditions of "Sikong" as an additional official. Let us not overlook the official position of "Great Sima Du Gonghong", the Tang Dynasty did not have the official position of "Great Sima ", but there was the official position of "Sima "Sima ", but this official position is still under the long history." Let's not overlook that Du Hong gradually died in 769, and Wei Yingwu's time as the Assassin of Suzhou was 788, when Du Hongzhi was long gone.
In Meng Tang's "Benshi Poem", Liu Yuxi, who returned to Luoyang after leaving office and assassinating shi shi, did not intersect with Li Sheng. So will Liu Yuxi, who served as the assassin of Suzhou, intersect with Li Shengcun? According to the Gusu zhi Tang Thorn History, in October of the fifth year of Yamato (831), Liu Yuxi was commissioned to be the Assassin of Suzhou, and in the second year (832) he arrived on February 6, and in the eighth year of Yamato (834), he was renamed the Assassin of Ruzhou. In July of the seventh year of Yamato (833), Li Shen was appointed as an envoy to the History of Yuezhou and the Observer of Eastern Zhejiang. The poem "Early Autumn Suddenly Obeying the Commandment to Remove the Right Sable of the Inspection Of Eastern Zhejiang" can be used as evidence. "Dragon Tower sends a hairpin guest, and Feng Que accompanies the Shuo Wang Dynasty. Neglected to be disengaged during the Dumen period, and the buyer returned to the mansion and took advantage of it. Sealed turtle New Zhi knighthood, crown ornament cicada more marten. Fei Zhao favors Rong Huan Lishe, and is white and hairdressed" in vain.
In the 21st year of the New Century (733), Jiangnan Province (zhizhou in Yuezhou) was separated from Jiangnan Province (zhizhou in Yuezhou) from the Jiangnan Dongdao Temporary Supervision District (the seat of governance was in Suzhou). In the first year of the reign of Emperor Suzong of Tang (758), the Provisional Supervision Zone of Jiangnan Eastern Province was abolished, and the Zhejiang Eastern Province Jiedu Envoy (the seat of governance was yuezhou), the Zhejiang Western Province Jiedu envoy (the seat of governance was runzhou), and the Fujian Province Observation Envoy was set up. The seat of government in Western Zhejiang was originally Runzhou, but later underwent several changes in Suzhou, Nanjing (Shengzhou), Xuanzhou, and Runzhou. Zhejiang East Road and Zhejiang West Province have not only undergone several rectifications of the festival and observation envoys, but also experienced several degrees of division. For example, in the second year of Jianzhong (781), the two Zhejiang provinces were merged into Jiedushi and the town navy was established. In June of the same year, Han Di was reappointed as the Inspector Of Etiquette Shangshu and the Envoy of The Imperial History, the Assassin of Runzhou, the Envoy of the Zhen Navy Jiedushi, and the Observer of the Eastern and Western Provinces of Zhejiang.
The seat of government in Zhejiang Dongdao had been in Yuezhou (present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang), and there are also notes and novels that Li Shen bought a mansion in Suzhou in the winter of the year (833) when he was serving as an observer of Zhejiang Dongdao, and according to the "Twenty Poems of the New Building" written at this time, there were cuckoo towers, mangui buildings, sea garnet pavilions, Dongwu pavilions and other pavilions, of which the cuckoo tower was used as a place for singing and dancing. Its prologue: "(Yamato) was built in the winter of the seventh year, driving from the west of the city, planting its rhododendrons in front of the building, because of its name, feasting on it."
At this time, Liu Yuxi was during the term of office of Suzhou Assassin, and Li Shen hosted a banquet for local dignitaries in Suzhou, and it was entirely possible for the two to meet before Liu Yuxi left Suzhou In 834. After 834, Liu Yuxi served as the Assassin of Ru prefecture (close to Luoyang) and the assassin of Tongzhou (close to Chang'an), and returned to Luoyang in 836 as a guest of the crown prince. Li Shen also returned to Luoyang in 836 as The Yin of Henan, and Liu and Li would have a brief intersection in Luoyang during the year. Soon after serving as Yin of Henan, Li Shen was reappointed as the Envoy of the Assassin of Bian Prefecture, the Emissary of Xuanwu Army, and the Observer of Song Qi.
Some online materials show that when Liu Yuxi wrote the poem "Gift to Li Sikong Prostitute", Liu Yuxi was the Assassin of Suzhou, and Li Shen was the envoy of Yangzhou Festival. After the previous elaboration, when Liu Yuxi served as the Assassin of Suzhou, Li Shen served as an observer of eastern Zhejiang. Later, Li Shen twice served as an envoy to Huainan Jiedushi, and the seat of government of Huainan Province was Yangzhou. In the eighth year of the Gregorian calendar (773), Chen Shaoyou, the observer of The Eastern Province of Zhejiang, was transferred to the post of Governor of Yangzhou and concurrently served as the envoy of Huainan Jiedushi. In the sixth year of Emperor Wenzong of Tang 's reign ( 832 ) , Zhongshu Shilang ( 中書侍郎 ) and Tongping Zhangshi (同平章事) were appointed as inspectors of the Right Servant Of The Inspectors , Tongping Zhangshi , governor of Yangzhou , and envoy to Huainan Jiedushi.
Through the above two examples, we can see that before Li Sheng, a person who served as an observer envoy in eastern Zhejiang also served as an envoy to Huainan Jiedushi. Those who served as emissaries of Huainan Jiedushi often concurrently served as the governor of Yangzhou. In 840, Li Shen served as an envoy to Huainan Jiedushi, and was soon transferred back to the imperial court to serve as prime minister, and Liu Yuxi's (died in 842) was nearing the end of his life and was never transferred again. Li Shen's second departure from Huainan was on the seventh day of the leap month of the fourth year of Huichang (844), when Liu Yuxi was no longer alive. Li Shen died in Yangzhou in 846 and was posthumously awarded the title of Lieutenant.
In July of the fourth year of Huichang, he was envoy to Huainan Jiedushi, Inspector Sikong Du Shou Shangshu Right Servant Shooting, Concurrent Menxia Waiter, Tongping Zhangshi, Still Judgment Zhizhi, And Salt-filled Iron Transporter, and other envoys. He also made Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, Shou Shangshu Right Servant Shooting, Concurrent Menxia Shilang, Tongping Zhangshi, Concurrently Xiu Guoshi, Shangzhu Guoguo, Zhao County Kaiyuan Gong, Yiyi 2,000 Households Li Shen ke inspector Sikong, Ping Zhangshi, Yangzhou Governor Shi, Huainan Jiedu deputy ambassador, Zhijie Dushi.

In addition to the two "Li Sikong" mentioned earlier, Li Shen and Li Shidao, there were also many "Li Sikong" during this period. The "Li Sikong" in Zhang Hu's "Tou Taiyuan Li Sikong" refers to Li Guangyan (died in 826), who served as an envoy to Hedong Jiedushi. Zhang's "Sending Li Sikong to Xiangyang" and "Envoys To Stay behind Xiangyang Li Sikong", this Li Sikong refers to Li Sikong (died in 821), who briefly served as the envoy of Xiangzhou Thorn History, Shannan's Eastern Province's Jiedushi, and the seat of shannan's eastern province's administrative seat in Xiangyang. This Li Sikong of Zhang Hu's "Li Sikong Hunting in Xuzhou" is suspected to refer to Li Yuan (died in 825), who served as an envoy to the Xuzhou Assassin History and the Wuning Army. Another theory is suspicious of Li Yu, because after he left the post of envoy of Shannan's Eastern Province, he also served as an envoy of Xuzhou Assassin History and Wuning Army.
We saw that the above three Li Sikongs were all whimpering and mourning before Liu Yuxi returned to Luoyang! Of course, there were other Li Sikongs in this period, so who did this "Li Sikong" in Meng Tang's "Benshi Poem" refer to? He is not the Li Gentry mentioned in the Song Dynasty's Taiping Guangji, and there is indeed one Li Sikong who meets all the conditions in the "Benshi Poem", he is Li Chen. Li Sheng's great-grandfather, Li Jingxuan, claimed to be the southern ancestral house of the Li clan in Zhao County, and Li Dai was born in the eastern ancestral house of the Li clan in Zhao County. Li Dai was born in 764, and both Li Shen and Liu Yuxi were born in 772. As early as the sixth year of Yuan He (811), Li Dai was promoted to Zhongshu Shilang Tongping Zhangshi and became the prime minister. Li Chen's career history is much more amazing than Li Shen and Liu Yuxi.
Let's look at the year 828, liu Yuxi and Li Dai may have met in Chang'an? In September of the second year of the Bao calendar (826), Li Dai was reappointed as the Prince of Shaoshi and divided into Eastern Capitals. In December of the second year of the Bao calendar, Li Dai was recalled to Beijing as Tai Changqing. In July of the following year (827), Li Daijin was enfeoffed as the Duke of Wei. As early as the second year of Changqing (822), Li Dai served as an envoy to the History of Yanzhou and the Observation of Yanhai Festival. In the fourth year of Changqing (824), Yu Luoyang was given the title of Inspector Officiation. At this time, Li Dai was completely in line with the statement in the "Benshi Poem" that "Li Sikong went to the town of Beijing".
Liu Yuxi returned to Chang'an in the early 2nd year of Emperor Wenzong of Tang (828), and his poem "Revisiting the Xuandu Temple" was composed in March of the second year of Shi Dahe. Li Dai, Liu Yuxi, Bai Juyi, Yu Chengxuan, Yang Sifu and others wrote "Drunken Middle Sentences Under the Flowers"; not only that, Li Dai, Liu Yuxi, Bai Juyi, and Cui Qun also wrote "Apricot Garden Joint Sentences", the first link was written by Cui Qun, and we should pay attention to the "Sikong on the Group" referring to Li Dai. The tail link "Twenty-four years of exile, the old man led to the flower bush" was written by Liu Yuxi. As mentioned earlier, from 805 to 827, Liu Yuxi called himself "abandoned for twenty-three years", so "twenty-four years of exile" obviously refers to the period from 805 to 828. Liu Yuxi and Li Dai had a brief intersection in 828, and thus the story of "commonplace" occurred. Not long after, in the year 828, Li Dai was appointed as the envoy of Xingyuan Yin and Shannan's Western Province. Li Dai eventually died in 830 during a military rebellion in Shannan's Western Province.
