Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 26
"Bei Que rests on a poem, and Nanshan belongs to my hut. If you don't know your talents, you will abandon them, and you will be old if you are sick. White hair will make you old, and Qingyang will force you to get rid of the years. You will never sleep without worry, and the window will be empty under the pine and moon." This poem , was made by Meng Haoran in the Tang Dynasty.He was the first famous poet in Xiangyang. He lived in Tokyo. Prime Minister Zhang Shuo valued his talent very much and had a close friendship with him.One day, Zhang said that he was studying in Zhongshu Province, and he had to make poems in cursive, but he couldn't think about it.The hall officials were sent to invite Meng Haoran to come and discuss a couplet of poems.Just as Er was cooking tea in detail, Tang Minghuang suddenly arrived.Meng Haoran had nowhere to hide and fell behind the bed.The Emperor Ming had seen it, and asked Zhang, "Who is the one who avoids me just now?" Zhang said, "This Xiangyang poet, Meng Haoran, is an old friend of the minister. He came here by chance, and because of his clothes, he dare not be abrupt." The emperor said: "I have always heard the name of this person, and I would like to see him." Meng Haoran had no choice but to come out, worshiped on the ground, and said: "Death crime." , recite and listen to me?" Meng Haoran recited the poem "Bei Que Xiu Shang Poem".Emperor Ming said: "You are not a man of incompetence, and I have not been the master of Ming Dynasty; but since you never come to see me, I have never abandoned you."The next day, Zhang said that when he entered the court, he saw the emperor and apologized. Because he strongly recommended Haoran's talent, he could serve as a post in the museum.The Emperor Ming said: "I heard Meng Haoran's sentence of 'Meteors lighten the river, raindrops and sycamores', how refreshing! I also heard the sentence 'Steaming clouds and dreaming, waves shaking Yueyang Tower', how majestic! Yesterday in front of me, It is not a tool to use the world. You should listen to it and return it to Nanshan to fulfill your ambition!" Since he didn't use it all his life, he is still called Mengshan people.There is a poem from later generations who sighed: "A new poem is dedicated to the dynasty, and the desire for glory and glory turns to loneliness. It's not that I don't know the master and abandon it. I have always been recruited by the noble and the humble." Lord, Meng Haoran just misread eight lines of poems and lost the meaning of the king, isn't it fate?
Now I'm telling another story. I'm also a well-known talent, but because I misplaced my fame in a poem, I spent my whole life in trouble, and later it became a romantic story.Who is that man?Speaking of which, he was from the time of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty. His surname was Liu, his first name was Yong, and his style name was Qiqing. He was originally from Chong'an County, Jianning Prefecture.Ranked seventh, everyone is called Liu Qiguan.At the age of 25, he is handsome and has outstanding talents; he knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; as for reciting poems and composing Fu, especially this book.There is another thing, the most strong point is to fill in lyrics.What is it called filling in words?If Li Taibai had "Recalling Qin'e" and "Bodhisattva Man", and Wang Wei had "Yulun Robe", these are all poems, and they are also called poems, and there were many songs by famous prostitutes in Tang Dynasty.In the Song Dynasty, the music officials of Dasheng Mansion collected the names of Ci poems extensively, and filled them into the imperial court.This word, Biqie tones, is assigned twelve tones, with certain tones and certain tones, long sentences and short sentences, and the four tones of flat, up, down, and down are used together, and there is a certain pattern.The lyricist should fill in according to the case, and the words and sounds must be coordinated. Some of them cannot be fabricated, so it is called lyric writing.Liu Qiguan is the most proficient in the rhythm, adding the music lyrics of Dasheng Mansion to more than two hundred tunes, he is really unique among poets.He also relies on his own talent, and no one can see it, so he will never leave the door of the gentry, and there is no one for writing.All day long, he just walks through flower streets and willow alleys. There are many famous prostitutes in Tokyo who all admire him and are proud to see him.If there is someone who doesn't recognize Liu Qi, everyone will laugh at him as inferior, not counting sisters.Therefore, the prostitutes spread a few slogans, saying: "If you don't want to wear silk, you want to follow Brother Liu; See you, I wish to know Liu Qimian."

Those Liu Qiguan people are really Chaochao Chuguan and Yeye Qinlou.There are three well-known and high-ranking heads in it, who communicate with Youmi.One is called Chen Shishi, one is called Zhao Xiangxiang, and the other is called Xu Dongdong.These three leaders, at the expense of their own money, competed to support Liu Qiguan.How do you know?There is an opera title titled "Xijiang Moon" as evidence: "I am used to making fun of teachers, Xiangxiang has a lot of love behind the scenes, Dongdong and I have a bad temper, and three of them are alone. There is no distinction under the word 'guan',' How about adding a dot to the word "closed"? Just stop the word "good" and put me in the middle of the word "traitor".

Liu Qiguan's poetic and literary talents surpassed those of court scholars.Therefore, although the officials close to him heard that he was proud of his talents, they still admired him to some extent.At that time, the world was peaceful, and all talented people were hired.A secretary recommended Liu Yongcai's name, and someone in the court guaranteed it. In addition to being awarded the magistrate of Yuhang County under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Province.Although the magistrate of the county is dissatisfied with Liu Qiqing's intentions and regards him as a step up, that's all.It's just that I can't bear those three first lines.It was the evening of spring, and I was about to set off, so I made "Xijiang Moon" as a poem to express the meaning of farewell: "The embroidered curtains on the forehead of the phoenix are rolled up, and the beasts and vermilion households are shaking frequently. Two poles of red sun are on the top of the flowers, and the spring sleep is tired. It's hard to sleep. Good dreams are in vain followed by flying catkins, and leisurely sorrows are thicker than fragrant mash. It's not rainy evening and cloud dynasty, it's time to pass again." The three leaders, who heard that Liu Qiguan was going to work in Zhejiang, all came to bid farewell.All the prostitutes came like a cloud, and Qi Qingkou accounted for "Like a Dream Order", which said: "The suburbs are green and shaded for thousands of miles, covering ten teams of red dresses. The farewell words are long, and the carriages and horses urge people to go quickly. Stealing tears, stealing tears, that's what you get. you!"

Liu Qiguan bid farewell to all the famous concubines, took a qin, a sword, and a bookcase, pretended to be a scholar traveling, and set out on the road, watching the scenery along the way.Go to Jiangzhou and visit the famous prostitutes here.Someone said: "Only Xie Yuying is the most talented here." Qiqing asked about his residence and came to visit him.Yuying greeted him. Seeing that Qiqing was elegant, she invited him into a small study.When Qiqing looked up, he saw that the decoration was exquisite.But see: bright windows and clean tables, bamboo couch and tea.A famous piano is hung between the beds, and an ancient painting is hung on the wall.The fragrant wind does not disperse, and the sandalwood is often hot and heavy in the treasure furnace; the cool breeze is blowing, and new water is frequently added to the vase.Thousands of volumes of books are for reading, and a game of chess is for entertainment.Qiqing saw that there was a book on his table, which said: "Liu Qixin Ci".When I checked it, it was all Qiqing's usual Yuefu, neatly written in tiny characters.Qiqing asked, "Where did this word come from?" Yuying said, "It was written by Liu Qiguan, a talented scholar in Tokyo. My concubine used to love his words very much. Every time I heard people recite them, I would record them into paper." Qiqing said again Asked: "there are so many poets in the world, why do you love this work alone?" Yuying said: "he describes the feelings and scenes, and the words are vivid. For example, the end of an article in "Autumn Thoughts" says: "Looking at each other in the dark, in the broken voice, Stand up to the end of the setting sun.' An article in "Autumn Farewell" says: 'Where is the drunkenness tonight? The willow bank, the dawn wind and the moon.' Such words, people can't understand. Every time I recite the words, I can't bear to let go, I can't wait to see him Ear." Qiqing said: "Do you want to know Liu Qiguan? Xiaosheng is." Yuying was shocked and asked about his origin.Qiqing talked about Yuhang's appointment.Yuying bowed to the ground and said, "I'm a concubine who is a mortal concubine. I don't know gods. I hope to beg for forgiveness."Qiqing was deeply impressed by it, and stayed for three or five days in a row.I'm afraid I missed the deadline, so I have to say goodbye.Yuying was very attached to her, and she made a vow to follow Liu Qiguan and serve Jibroom.Qiqing said: "It's inconvenient to go to the office. If you have the heart, you will go to Chang'an together after the end of your term." Yuying said: "Since Mongolian officials and people do not abandon lowly concubines, from now on, we should treat Dumen as a stranger. Don't abandon it, it will cause the concubine to sigh in vain." Qiqing asked for a piece of paper and wrote a word called "The Jade Girl Shaking the Immortal Pendant".word cloud:
"Mate Feiqiong, I don't even return to the Pearl Palace, and I haven't returned to the fairy house. How much beauty do you get when you dress up and speak ordinary words? It's not easy to compare famous flowers. I'm afraid people will laugh at me. Think carefully, and you will find wonderful flowers and flowers." , It’s just dark red and light white. Competing for such passion, it occupies the world of thousands of charms. You must believe in painting halls, embroidery pavilions, bright moons and cool breezes, and forbear the time? Leaning on each other, I have pity on my versatility. May grandma Lan Xinhui's nature, under the foreword, express my deepest meaning. For the alliance, I will never be innocent in this life."

Let Qiqing sing the words, and leave Yuying and go on the road.

Not a day later, when I came to Gusu, I saw the beautiful mountains and rivers, and went to a restaurant by the road to buy three cups.Suddenly I heard the sound of drums, and looking out of the window, I saw a group of children who got out of their boats and were playing in the lake to pick lotus.Wu Geyun sang in his mouth: "Sister Cailian fights for dressing up, just like red lotus competing with white lotus. The red lotus says its color is good, and the white lotus says it is pink.

The fragrance of pink flowers, the fragrance of pink flowers, people who love flowers come to snatch them as soon as they see them.The red one is too expensive, and the white one is also very expensive.If you do it face to face, discuss it with you in private, like a lotus leaf that hides the body and no one sees it, and the head is long like a lotus root. After hearing this, Liu Qiguan took out his pen and made a Wu song and wrote it on the wall. The song said: "Ten miles of lotus flowers are nine miles red, and there is a white pine in the middle."White lotus is easy to touch and eat, while red lotus is good for forming lotus pods.The lotus pods, the lotus pods, the lotus pods are so exquisite.The belly is full of fun, but the outside is heavily wrapped.Someone tasted it, and it was hard to break it for a while.Just trying to make my mouth sweet, so you know my heart is bitter?Bloom and bear fruit in vain. "This Wu song has been handed down under Wu, and it has been sung to this day.

But it is said that Liu Qiguan came to Yuhang County after passing through Gusu to take up his post.In the spare time of listening to the government, he climbed the mountains of Dadi, Tianzhu and Youquan to play, compose poems and drink wine.In Yuhang County, there are also several official prostitutes who take turns to inherit the straight.But if the prostitute's name is included in the lawsuit, it is not allowed.Among the prostitutes, there is Zhou Yuexian, who is quite beautiful and fluent in writing and ink.One day, while singing song Youjiu in the county government office, Liu Xianzai saw that he seemed unhappy and asked him why.Yuexian bowed her head and said nothing, the two exchanged tears.The county magistrate questioned him again and again, and Yuexian had no choice but to tell him.

It turns out that Yuexian has a close relationship with a local Huang Xiucai.Yuexian only wants to marry that scholar, but Nai Xiucai's family is poor and cannot prepare for the wedding ceremony.Yuexian observes the festival of talents and vows not to accept guests.The old bustard tried to force her repeatedly, but she refused; because she was her own daughter, there was nothing she could do.There is only a big river between Huang Xiucai's library and Yuexian. Every night, Yuexian goes by boat, reunites with Xiucai, and returns at dawn.In the same county, there is a Liu Eryuan who loves the beauty of the moon fairy and wants to have a happy meeting with him.Yuexian insisted on refusing, and recited four lines of poems: "If you don't learn from the willows on the road, you will be willing to be with the orchids in the valley; if you are inquiring about bees, don't look like wild flowers."
