Chapter 12 Emperor Wen of Song Dynasty - Liu Yilong

Liu Yilong (407-453), small character car.The third son of Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty, after Emperor Shaodi of Song Dynasty was abolished and killed, he entered Jiankang and ascended the throne.Historical records: Emperor Wen was seven feet five inches tall, intelligent and benevolent, elegant and respectful of Confucianism, extensively involved in classics and history, and good at official script.During his 30 years in office, he devoted himself to political affairs, strengthened the centralization of power, and rectified the administration of officials. The economy and culture of the Yangtze River Basin have been developed, and historians hailed it as "the rule of Yuanjia".Later, due to the comprehensive defense of the Northern Wei Dynasty's attack, the power of the people was exhausted, and the country gradually declined.Prince Shao launched a coup, killed Emperor Wen, and was buried in Changning Mausoleum (now Jiangshan, Jiangning County, Jiangsu Province).The temple name is Zhongzong, and the posthumous title is Emperor Wen.

Since the king came out, the brocade can't be closed.
"From the King's Outgoing" is the name of the lyrics of Yuefu Poems and Miscellaneous Songs.Song Guo Maoqian’s sixty-ninth answer to the title says: “Han Xuqian has five chapters of "Shi Si Poems", the third chapter of which says: "Since the king has come out, the mirror is dark. Thinking about the king is like flowing water, and there is no end to it." .' "From the Lord's Outcome" is built here." This poem by Emperor Wen can be found in the second volume of Hu Yinglin's "Shisou".However, Volume 69 of "Yiwenleiju", Volume 32 of "Yiwenleiju", and Volume 45 of "Shiji" all collected this poem under the name of Liu Yigong, only a few pregnant words are slightly different.In a limited article on appreciation, we do not intend to make a textual research on the attribution of this poem, because it will not affect the appreciation of this poem.

The first sentence "comes from the king" is a sentence made by the predecessors.These familiar words and plaintive melody have made me familiar with the melody of miscellaneous songs at that time and today.Those who explore the subtleties of this poem introduce a certain lyrical atmosphere.Thousands of years of life, there are partings from generation to generation, a hundred years of life, who would like to be parted for a long time?This poem is spoken from the heart, which makes people feel that the words are simple and sincere, and it has caused a sigh through the ages.As for why the man left the Sri Lankan, the poet didn't say it clearly, so we don't need to delve into it.According to the word "Jinxi" in the poem, the heroine of the lyric is definitely not a commoner's wife. Her husband has all kinds of possibilities of seeking official positions, doing business, and fighting. , Infected readers through this deep sigh.The second sentence "The brocade can't be closed" is written in static and dynamic, and the closed brocade is used to set off the special psychological activities of the contemplative woman.In our country of poetry, the praise of love is as old as our nation, and the love poems of lovesickness and love can be traced back to the source of the sea of ​​poetry.In the Book of Songs, there is already a verse "Since the king wanders east, the head is like a flying canopy. There is no cream to bathe, who is suitable for it" ("Wei Feng · Boxi"). The sentence "Jinxi can't be closed" not only conveys the specific identity of the lyric protagonist, but also conveys the specific psychology in similar poems: women are the ones who please themselves.It not only expresses the loyalty of the woman in the boudoir to love, but also reveals the deep psychology of missing people far away.How many secrets in her heart are hidden in the tightly closed brocade, how many times the two shadows are reflected in the clear pool, how many times the moon and night lean on the railing, there are endless love words, endless vows.All of these, the brocade clothes and hairpin ring in the middle of the bar have personally experienced one by one.In the past, after carefully grooming and grooming, there were laughter and laughter, and the two hearts loved each other.Today she is alone, and her mind is already troubled, how can she open the brocade, see things and think about others, and add troubles.The last two sentences "Thinking of you is like a breeze, and you often linger at dawn and night", although the word Sijun is clearly marked, but the wonderful metaphor leaves a mellow poetic beauty.The longing is like the breeze rippling on the surface of the lake, one wave does not end, another wave rises again.It doesn't go away, but it doesn't return. Days and nights follow each other endlessly.Especially the word wandering, if the wind is like a person, the wind is like a person.The breeze is gentle, sometimes tight and sometimes slow, sometimes blowing and sometimes stopping, like a man full of thoughts, heavy thoughts, walking and stopping, wandering indefinitely.In this seemingly ordinary verse, the poet wrote about the turmoil of the missing woman's mind, like the shadow of the wind slowly, not knowing where it starts or where it stops, the long thoughts, day and night.After this poem, later generations made many imitations, all following its meaning and changing its words, but the poetic flavor is not as clear and mellow as it is.

Shen Yue said in "Book of Songs·Le Zhiyi": "The miscellaneous songs of Wu songs came out of Jiangdong. Since the Jin and Song Dynasties, they have been slightly enlarged." The so-called Zengguang is a new creation.This poem escapes the vulgarity of folk songs, but retains its fresh breath of life.The whole poem uses subtle and euphemistic pens to express sincere and moving feelings, and the wonderful and appropriate metaphors are novel and appropriate, leaving future generations with endless poetic beauty.That's why Hu Yinglin wrote the whole poem in "Shisou", praising it as a "good sentence".

When Lu Xun talked about the authors of the Six Dynasties, he mentioned "elegant mediocre masters" and "soft and charming poets".It was also said that "although the master is mediocre and not ugly", the poets "still have some literary talents, and some of their works are still immortal." ("From Help to Nonsense") In fairness, Song Dynasty Although during the Northern Expedition, Emperor Wen "Yuanjia was careless, he sealed the wolf and lived in Xu, and won the rush to the north." (Xin Qiji's "Yongyule Jingkou Beiguting Nostalgia"), but under his rule, after all, there was a "Yuanjia rule" , "Yuanjia style" has also appeared in literature, and it seems that it should not be simply classified as mediocre.If the mediocre masters of the Six Dynasties, such as Xiao Gang, Xiao Yi, and Chen Shubao, were mediocre masters who were emperors and geniuses in the literary world, and they were still "immortal", then Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty had made great contributions to history and had such a literary talent. It's almost "immortal".
