Chapter 40 Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty——Zhu Zhanji
Zhu Zhanji (1398-1435), the eldest son of Renzong Zhu Gaochi.He ascended the throne at the age of twenty-eight.Historical records: Zhu Zhanji loves books and has outstanding intelligence.After inheriting Yongle, the society was more stable.He died and was buried in Jingling (now Changping County, Beijing).
He is good at calligraphy and painting, and he is good at landscape, flower and bird paintings, and he is quite conceited in his poetry and prose.Qian Qianyi of the Qing Dynasty said of him: "Heaven is sensitive, he is inferior to the classics and history, long and short songs, and the writing skills are good." Most of the poems and essays are about farming and recommending sages.
The thick clouds disperse the rain, and the doves sing in the garden.
①Zui Taiping: one Lingbo Qu, one Zui Sifan, also known as Siziling.Shuangtiao has thirty-eight characters, forty-five characters, and forty-six characters.This "Drunk Taiping Shendu, a scholar" has fifty crosses, which has never been seen in Tang and Song ci.Shen Du: courtesy name Minze, born in Songjiang Huating (now Songjiang County, Shanghai) in the Ming Dynasty.Bo dabbles in classics and history, so that the articles will never be superfluous.Hongwu Zhongju literature is not good enough, and when he became the ancestor, he was tired of officials and lectured on bachelors.Good books, where there are gold and jade books, ask him to write more.
The Ci Pai uses "Zui Taiping", but it is not limited to the old format of "Zui Taiping". Judging from the content of the lyrics, it is necessary to take the pun meaning of the three characters "Zui Taiping" to express related emotions.
As an emperor, Zhu Zhanji was born in the year of Shuile, and when he ascended the throne, it was only the fifty-ninth year of the early Ming Dynasty, which was the day when the world was at peace.Therefore, his feelings can neither have the impassioned and heroic spirit of Emperor Wu of Wei when he made great achievements, nor can he have the infinite family and country worries of Queen Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty. What he expresses should be the thoughts and emotions that a successful king should have. .In particular, ministers who give books should show their love for the country and the people.
"Thick clouds disperse and rain gathers, and doves sing in the garden." The thick clouds drift away, the rain stops, and in the garden full of flowers, turtledoves are singing.At the beginning, it renders a fresh, bright and lively atmosphere.It was a joy to see the sun shining again at dawn.
Judging from the last film, the author starts from the scene and enters the emotion from the scene. "Scattering clouds", "harvesting rain", "Flower Garden" and "Mingjiu" are all common scenes, and "sunlight" is even more common, but the word "happy" expresses the preciousness and loveliness of sunlight at this time, Because it forms a "warm and melting day".The author's description of the scenery here is to highlight his "joy".The next film will turn to the reason why he is "happy".
"The wheat seedlings are moist and beautiful, and the pomegranate flowers are wet and red." It depicts a picture unique to early summer when it is sunny after the rain.The "wheat seedlings" and "lime flowers" bathed in the sun and rain show "moisturization" and "red light", gestating plump seeds, and a bountiful harvest is in sight.What farmers look forward to is that the weather will be good and the crops will grow well, so they dance and sing to their heart's content at this time, and they are all drinking to celebrate the good harvest.
In this way, the author integrates his own "joy" with the "joy" of Wanmin.Where does the joy of the people come from? Literally, it is the nourishment of the crops by the sun and rain, but in his heart, the sun and the rain are the blessings of the royal family to the people, and it is his peaceful rule of the world.So far, the author has completed the main purpose of praising the prosperity of the country and the people.
The whole article revolves around a "happy" character-shaped object to describe the scene, just as Wang Guowei said: "All the words of the scene are the words of love." They are all to express the feeling of praising the scene of peace, which is a unique emotion of feudal emperors. He can't see, and he doesn't want to see the life of farmers with "chicken skin, white hair, ten fingers bald, sun plowing in the fields and zhu (zhu)".Even so, among the feudal emperors, it is very rare to be able to think of the harvest life of the "Tian family".Therefore, later generations praised him for "he pays so much attention to farming, so there is no need to paint "Bin Feng" in "July"" (Volume 10 of "Shihua of Past Dynasties" by Wang Yiqing of Qing Dynasty).The sentences of the words are as clear as words, without allusions or embellishments, and directly state what you see, and you can see kung fu in nature.This is just in line with the big scene depicted by the author, and it is also in line with the feelings of love for the people expressed by an emperor.
The last two sentences of this word have two bodies.The records in this article can be found in Volume 1 of "Ming Ci Zong" compiled by Wang Chang of the Qing Dynasty.Another example can be found in Volume 10 of "Ci Hua of Past Dynasties" written by King Yiqing of the Qing Dynasty.
Drums and fou, that is, knocking on pots and the like, are used as an accompaniment to singing. "Tianjia Drums and Fou All Singing Songs" describes the scene of farmers singing while beating pottery vessels to celebrate the harvest. It is very vivid and more reasonable than "singing and dancing all singing songs".The last sentence is just different in punctuation.And recorded here, for readers' reference.
