When I sighed at the flowers, under the north window, Puhuang wine ⑥ was for the sick and sleeping people. [Title Explanation] In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Tang Dezong, Xianzong, Jingzong, Xuanzong and other dynasties were found in Tang poetry. The tea mountain environment meeting will be held.The location of the meeting: According to the "Changxing County Chronicles" of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty, Changxing was the Xuanjiao Ridge, seventy miles northwest of Changcheng County, and it was named because of its drooping ridge.This poem is a poem sent by Bai Juyi, the governor of Suzhou at that time, to Jia Sui, the governor of Changzhou, and Cui Xuanliang, the governor of Huzhou.It was written in the spring of 826, the second year of Baoli in Tang Jingzong. 〔Note〕①Tea mountain meeting: The governors of Hu and Chang prefectures made tea respectively in Guzhu Mountain and Tanggong Mountain in the prefecture; the attendants, musicians, and singers led by the local governors of the two prefectures met in Xuanjiaoling, the boundary between the two prefectures. A grand singing and dancing competition, tea tasting and tea fighting, and banquets are held, which is called "Tea Mountain Environment Meeting." ② Song Bell: The name of an ancient percussion instrument, that is, chime bells.This refers to the music and singing at the Tea Mountain Conference. "Li Taibai's Poem" fifteen "Wei County Bie Su Ming Mansion Because of the North Tour": "The brothel is sandwiched between the two banks, and thousands of families are singing bells." ③ Boundary between the two states: In the Tang Dynasty, the Guzhushan tea area in Changcheng County, Huzhou was geographically adjacent to the Tanggongshan tea area in Yixing County, Changzhou, which is now the Tanggongshan tea area in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province.In ancient times, there was a "Jinghui Pavilion", also known as "Fangyan". ④ Qing'e: Refers to singers and dancers.Jiang Yan's "Water Goddess Fu": "Qing'e is ashamed and beautiful." Han Yu's "Yancheng Night Meeting Couplets": "Qing'e has long sleeves." ⑤Purple bamboo shoot sentence: In the Tang Dynasty, Yangxian tea produced in Tanggong Mountain, Junshan Township, Yixing County, Changzhou, also known as purple bamboo shoot tea, and Guzhu purple bamboo shoot tea were both court tribute teas.After the new tribute tea varieties are baked every year, they will be judged at the tea mountain environment meeting to judge the quality of the tea, which is called "every fight is new". ⑥ Puhuang wine: Puhuang, cattail pollen as fine as gold powder, can be used as medicine.The poet attached a small note to this poem: "At that time, the horse fell down and hurt his waist, and he was persuading Puhuang wine." Bai Juyi, the governor of Suzhou at that time, had already received an invitation to go to the Chashan Jinghui, but he was quite regretful that he could not attend the meeting due to his waist injury. Therefore, I wrote poems and sent them to each other. 6.Gin tea Wu Wu ① puts the shape in the group, and Tao Tao ② willful for a lifetime. Since I left my official position, I have had many dreams in spring, and I have been more leisurely when I don’t study. The only thing known in Qinli is Lushui ④, and in tea, it used to be Mengshan ⑤. Poor traffic only ⑥ is always accompanied by me, don’t I have nothing to return ⑦? [Title Explanation] This is a poem of double chants of "qin" and "tea".And borrow the spirituality of qin tea to describe Letian's "gentleman Tao Tao" moral demeanor.This poem was written in the Yamato period of Tang Wenzong. [Note] ① Wu Wu [wuwu]: The words come from Han Yu's "Jin Xue Jie": "burn ointment oil to continue the sundial, and keep Wu Wu to live poor years." Take more high meanings." Du Mu's "A Fang Gong Fu" has the sentence "Shu Mountain Wu, A Fang comes out". The sentence "Wuwu" is the poet's deep injustice for being repeatedly slandered and relegated in the officialdom. ② Tao Tao [yaoyao]: Harmonious appearance. "Poetry · Wang Feng · Gentleman Yang Yang": "A gentleman is Tao Tao." The poet's name Le Tianzheng means integrity and open-mindedness throughout his life.Bai Juyi advocated throughout his life: "If you are poor, you will take care of yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world." ③Throwing away the official: The poet resigned from the Minister of the Criminal Ministry in the spring of 829, the third year of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty, and went to live in Luoyang as a guest of the prince.Therefore, it is called "throwing an official". ④ Lushui: Guqin music. "Selected Works" Ma Rong's "Flute Fu": "The middle is taken from the white snow and Lushui." Han's note: "Baixue, Lushui elegant song name." The poet is proficient in rhythm, and appreciates the guqin song "Lushui" among the qin songs.The poet Yu Yuanhe wrote the poem "Listening to the Ancient Lushui" when he was appointed as Zhou Zhi County Captain in Shaanxi Province from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty: "Wearing the ancient Lushui makes my heart peaceful. If you want to know the meaning of the flow, you can listen to the sparse sound. Under the shade of bamboo by the west window, there is more than clear daylight. " ⑤ Mengshan: Mengshan tea.Produced in Mingshan County, Yazhou, which belongs to Mengding Mountain in Sichuan today.Mengding has a long history of tea production.According to legend, during the Western Han Dynasty, Zen Master Wu Lizhen personally planted seven immortal tea plants in Ganlu Temple, Shangqing Peak, Mengding, creating a precedent for artificially cultivating tea trees in Mengding.It has been more than two thousand years. ⑥ Poor general sentence: It is the poet who laments the ups and downs of the officialdom, and good luck and bad luck often follow each other.Le Tian's "Ten Rhymes of Relegation in the South of the Yangtze River": "A strong heart is a disciple of Xu Guo, and a life is not as good as a person. Talents show their ambitions, and their talents lose their water scales." The sunflower withers still faces the sun, and spring breaks off.Xingzang and Tongsai, everything is appointed by Tao Jun. "It is the best commentary for this poem. ⑦Is the sentence: This is the poet's sad question when his life is approaching his twilight years for his ambition to serve the country and benefit the world: Can I never return to the capital in this life?The answer is yes.Bai Juyi returned to Luoyang in the spring of 829, the third year of Emperor Wenzong's reign, and died in Luoyang in August 846, the sixth year of Huichang Emperor Wuzong's reign. In seventeen years, he never returned to Chang'an, Xijing.
