Chapter 58 (15) On Huang Tingjian's Poems

Volume 5 of "Tongjiang Collection" quotes Liu Yuanhui's "Dupo Poems" ①: "The poems are not elegant, and their poems are not enough. If the spirit is thick, the words are not involved in ridicule. I regret the babbling, but what can I do if I blow my hair?" Those who speak the same way, are not allowed to learn from Dongpo." The Jiangxi school left behind, but the comments on Dongpo's language are the same as those of the Jiangxi school.Since Yishan said that slope poems cannot be modern and elegant, so when talking about valleys, it is also said: "It's hard to make a child beautiful when it's elegant, and it's hard to make a child beautiful, and it's pure and true. It's better to go down to Fu Weng to worship than to be a member of Xijiang Society when discussing poetry." The second volume of "Tang Poetry Talk" began to say kindly ②, the so-called: "The valley is based on Kun style, and it has reached the point where old Du Hun has completed it." Shaozhang's "Poetry Talk" was written by Jin Jin; Volume 40 of "Volume 4 has cited this statement to refute it ③, saying that Kunti Kung Fu and Lao Du's realm, "like eating in the east and lodging in the west, cannot be combined", which shows that Zhu Shu was spread in the north at that time. Volume 10 of "Zhongzhou Collection" also selected some poems from Shaozhang ④, and "Xiao Zhuan" also said: "There is "Fengyuetang Poetry Talk" that is popular in the world." To note the indiscriminate province, it is to quote the third sentence of the mountain to learn the valley language.After Shaozhang's "Shihua", there are many people who hold this view.Xu Ke's "Yanzhou Poetry Talk" uses righteous mountains and valleys together⑤, saying that the two schools of learning "can get rid of simple and vulgar diseases." The strange thing is that there are changes in the Kun style, but not its organization. Its ingenuity is like a mystery, and the sparse and dense couplets are also a snow mystery." "Tongjiang Collection" Volume 4 "Postscript Xu Wansong Poems" says: " Lao Du, the poetic book of the valley, has Yu Kaifu, Li Yuxi, and Yuanci Mountain in the bone method. ⑦" That is, he denounces the valley as Zhang Jie, and his "Suihantang Shihua" volume discusses "evil thoughts" in poems

Zhe ⑧, also cites the valley to follow Yishan, saying that it is "reserved in rhyme, and too refined in appearance". (Pages 152-153) ① "Tongjiang Collection" eight volumes, written by Fanghui in the Yuan Dynasty. ②Zhu Shaozhang: Song Zhu Bian characters, there are two volumes of "Fengyuetang Shihua". ③Wang Ruoxu: Jinren, there are forty-five volumes of "Hunan Yilaoji". ④ "Zhongzhou Collection": ten volumes, edited by Jin Yuan Haowen. ⑤ Xu Ke: Zi Yanzhou, a native of the Song Dynasty, has a volume of "Yanzhou Shihua". ⑥ "Ying Kui Lu Sui": forty-nine volumes, compiled by Fang Hui in the Yuan Dynasty.

⑦ Yu Kaifu: Yu Xin was in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the official Kaifu Yitong Sansi, known as Yukaifu.Li Yuxi: Li Shangyin, named Yuxisheng.Yuanji Mountain: Yuanjie character. ⑧ Zhang Jie: A native of the Song Dynasty, there are two volumes of "Sui Hantang Shihua". This article mainly discusses Huang Tingjian's poems, and talks about an evaluation of Huang's poems.Let’s start with the discussion of Su Shi’s poems, citing Fang Hui’s poem by Liu Yuanhui in Volume 5 of "Tongjiang Collection".Let’s talk about Yuan Haowen’s "On Thirty Poems": "Gold never tires of entering the furnace, but the fine ones receive the dust. If there are loyal ministers in the Su family, they are willing to release poems in a variety of styles." Loyal ministers, how can you make Su Shi's poems new?That is to say, Su's poems are "new in every way" and "can't be as modern as they are ancient".So Yuan Hao asked Huang Tingjian's poems:

"Quintessence is difficult to beautify a child, and the purity is completely lost to the truth of the mountains." That is to say, he is not like Du Fu in the aspect of quaintness, and loses Li Shangyin in the aspect of purity. This is dissatisfied with the loss of quaintness and purity in Huang Tingjian's poems.But he also said: "On poetry, I would rather go to Fu Weng to worship than to be a member of Xijiang Society." On poetry, I would rather worship Huang Tingjian, that is to say, Huang Tingjian's poems are acceptable, and Jiangxi School's poems are even worse.Here it is believed that Huang Tingjian's poems are different from those of Du Fu and Li Shangyin.But Mr. Qian said in "Selected Notes to Song Poems? Huang Tingjian": "He is the founder of the 'Jiangxi Poetry Society School'. He was as famous as Su Shi during his lifetime. After his death, he was praised by his apprentice Fasun as Du Fu's successor." So Mr. Qian said: "Everyone knows that the valley learns from Du." Mr. Qian also quoted Zhu Bian as saying: "Kunti Kung Fu in the valley has reached the level of old Du Hun." Lao Du's realm is different and cannot be combined.Mr. Qian thinks that Yuan Hao's question "There are loyal ministers in Su Menguo" contains the meaning of criticizing Zhu Bian's words, that is, Huang Tingjian can't really learn from Du Fu and Li Shangyin, so he can't correct the shortcomings of Su's poems.Therefore, it is considered that it is inappropriate for Shi Zhu to quote Houshan Xueshan language as a commentary.According to the third sentence of Shi Guoqi's note: "Wuji (Chen Houshan) said: Lu Zhi (Huang Tingjian) is good at poetry, Qin (Guan) Chao (Wujiu) is good at argumentation, Wen Qian (Zhang Lei) said: Chang Gong (Su Shi) is good at waves." In the sea, Shaogong (Su Zhe) climbs up to the foot of Qianxun, Huang Jun (Ting Jian) ​​Xiao Xiao goes down to the crane, Chen Zi (teacher) steeps bamboo in the frost, Qin (Guan) Wen Qian Li Shu Taoli, Chao (Wu Jiu) ) Talk about the greatness and the jade. It is known that talents have their own strengths, although the Su family cannot combine them all.” This note says that Su Shi’s disciples each have their own strengths, and Su Shi’s various strengths cannot be combined.Mr. Qian thinks that this annotation does not conform to the original meaning of Yuan Haowen's poems. Yuan Haowen's poems criticize Su's poems for not being modern and elegant, so this annotation is completely wrong.

Mr. Qian also thinks that there are some people who hold this view of Zhu Bian's view that "Kunti Kung Fu in the valley can reach the level of old Du Hun".Xu coveted "Yan Zhou Poetry Talk" and said: "If you don't get rid of the simple and vulgar spirit of writing poems, it is abominable. When the guest asked where to go, the servant said: "If you are familiar with Tang Li Yishan's poems and Huang Luzhi's poems in this dynasty and think deeply, then go Also.'" That is to say, Li Shangyin and Huang Tingjian are compared, which means "the valley is based on Kunti Kungfu".He also quoted Fang Hui's "Ying Kui Lv Sui" Volume 21 Huang Tingjian's "Song Xue Presents Wu Guang Ping Gong": "The spring is cold and clear, and the snow is flying, and I suddenly recall the sand in the clear water of the river. At night, it is sparse and dense, and at dawn, it is full and complex. Slanting. The wind blows back and dances together, and the sky can bloom in an instant. The political envoys can enjoy the cold to the bone, so it’s better to use the years of peaches and plums.” Fang commented:

"The wonder of the valley is that there are changes in the Kunti and not its organization. Its coincidence is like a mystery. This couplet (Night Listening couplet) is also a snow mystery, and scholars can't ignore it. The next couplet is 'Whirling Dance ', 'Instant flowers' are wonderful." Here, it is believed that "there is a change of Kunti", that is, it is changed with Kunti Kungfu, that is, without lighting the snow, writing dense and dense voices, and slanting down Snow form, that is, it is considered to be written as Kunti Kung Fu.Fang Hui also said: "Lao Du, the poet of the valley, has Yu Kaifu, Li Yuxi, and Yuanci Mountain in the bone method." The bone method mentioned here is the "bone" mentioned in Liu Xie's "Wen Xin Diao Long? Feng Bone": "If you meditate on the words, don't come before the bones", "If the conclusion is straight, then the bones will be formed." The bone method refers to the words, including Yu Xin, Li Shangyin, and Yuan Jie.

The terms used include Yu Xin and Li Shangyin, which should refer to freshness and beauty; there are yuan knots, which should refer to strength and health.Qi Li should refer to Zhang Jie and said: "Your appearance is too extreme". There is another question here. Yuan Hao asked why he said, "On poetry, I would rather go to Fu Weng to worship", that is, why would I rather worship Huang Tingjian?Mr. Qian also said in "Selected Notes to Song Poems? Huang Tingjian": "He (Huang Tingjian) said: 'Lao Du wrote poems, retired from composition, there is no source for a single word, because later generations read less, so it is said that Han Du made this statement himself. Ear. Those who can make articles from ancient times can really cultivate all things. Even if they take the words of the ancients and put them into calligraphy, they are like a panacea, and iron can be turned into gold'. Among his many discussions about poetry, this passage is the most important. Influence is the most sufficient to explain his own style.” In this passage, it is proposed that “truth can cultivate all things”, which is creation, and it is expressed in declarative words after the image is created.Yuan Haowen would rather worship Fu Weng, probably because of his "true ability to cultivate all things".
