Chapter 15 Changing the owner of the building is often like a dream, Yiren's affairs always turn into gray

Letting go and reminiscing Even though he later held a high position as the former prime minister of Shu, deep down in his heart, he still had shortcomings.What he is nostalgic for is the era when the brocade clothes piled up with snow, the prosperity was like a dream, and the pride was overwhelming. The year after arriving in Luoyang, Wei Zhuang wrote the famous long narrative poem "Qin Women's Song", recalling the chaos and chaos that he had heard and seen along the way.This is probably the longest poem among the existing Tang poems.Later generations called "Qin Fu Yin", "Peacock Flying Southeast" and "Mulan Poem" together as "Three Wonders of Yuefu".

I regard it as the most important Tang poem in the late Tang Dynasty. The development of Wei Zhuang's life started from this Chang'an chaos.It was hard for him not to feel disgusted with those who caused the unrest.What is particularly rare is that in his poems, he did not favor or whitewash the atrocities committed by the official army and Huang Chao's rebel army.Therefore, this poem has the value of "poetic history". Wei Zhuangtuo said that the survivors of the Chang'an military rebellion described the rebellion from the perspective of a third party.In the poem, a man meets Qin's wife on his way. Seeing a beautiful woman living by the side of the road, the man can't help stopping to ask her.Mrs. Qin felt his concern, and the two started talking.

Qin's wife recalled with lingering fear the horrible scene of burning, killing and looting in the city when the rebel army arrived.On that day, she was still living in the deep boudoir as usual, her life was leisurely and a bit boring, she didn't know that the situation outside was changing, and disaster was about to happen in a blink of an eye.The arrival of the Huang Chao Army was so sudden, the officers and soldiers covered the dignitaries and fled, leaving the people in the city to face the end. Chang'an City was instantly reduced to hell on earth.The bustling city was looted.In the wilderness and chaos, people ran in panic, countless people died under the trampling of horses, countless souls were killed by swords, and young girls were brutally murdered.According to Mrs. Qin, the girl from the east neighbor was taken away, the girl from the west neighbor was not allowed to be killed, the sister from the south neighbor committed suicide, and the young woman from the north neighbor fled to a tall building and was burned to death.These women may not be real people, but what happened to them is real.

Mrs. Qin herself was kidnapped by the lieutenant general of Huang Chao's army and committed herself to the thief, so she was lucky to survive, and she saw how these people who were crowned with monkeys were defeated.After Huang Chao's army was defeated, Qin's wife took advantage of the chaos to escape from Chang'an. Along the way, she saw wild smoke and grass, ruined walls and ruins, and nine out of ten families died.Qin Fu said that she saw the temples in Huashan withered. She talked to the gods.It also implicitly expresses the disappointment of the distraught people towards the Tang Dynasty.

After the defeat of Huang Chao's army, people's disasters did not end here. In the summer of 883 AD, after Huang Chao's army withdrew from Chang'an, the official army poured into the city again, "competing for goods and attacking each other, setting fire to the palace, and burning six to seven in the palace." . The old Xin'an man Qin's wife met in Luoyang also told her story.He originally had a wealthy family, and even after being plundered by Huang Chao's army, there was still some leftovers, but "since the Luoxia Tunshi brigade", the official army was more powerful than the rebel army.The old man ran out of money, and his family was separated.In his dying years, and now alone again, the old man can only sigh with tears: "What is the point of being miserable, there are tens of thousands of families in the mountains."——It is a blessing to be able to survive, but living is just a miserable life.In the troubled times, there are countless people who have suffered like him!

The man asked Mrs. Qin what her plans were for the future, and Mrs. Qin said that she heard that Jinling was in good health, and she planned to settle down in the south of the Yangtze River, hoping to escape the chaos of war. So Jiangnan was mentioned, looking at Jiangnan, dreaming of Jiangnan, and recalling Jiangnan.Everyone has a Jiangnan that is worthy of poetry and painting.No matter how turbulent the current situation is, Jiangnan seems to be a spiritual pure land that Chinese people intend to preserve.The spring water is clearer than the sky, draw a boat and listen to the rain to sleep.Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, and it seems to be an eternal place to live in, a bright peach blossom garden.

Wei Zhuang himself also has a Jiangnan complex.He traveled to the south of the Yangtze River in his early years, and has been fond of this place ever since.Because of attachment, Jiangnan in his poems is extraordinarily bright, soft and gentle.Intoxicated in sobriety, waking up in intoxication, waking up from the sweet dreams in the south of the Yangtze River again and again, the beautiful scenery is ecstasy, looking back at the Central Plains, seeing the world is desolate again. The Central Plains are turbulent, the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are quiet and quiet, and the beauties are bright and passionate.It's a pity that it is not my hometown.He is like a lone goose, seeing the magnificent scenery here, but still has thoughts in his heart, he can only live for a while, not stay for a lifetime.If you stay longer, the will to travel will be soaked and wiped away by the amorous eyes and the spring rain of apricot blossoms.

Wei Zhuang witnessed the atrocities of burning, killing and looting by various armies, and how the imperial capital, which carried thousands of prosperity, turned into an unbearable ruin.All these made him feel sad and indignant. Because "Qin Fu Yin" faithfully described the suffering of the people in the war, it spread like wildfire and spread all over the world.Many families embroidered poems on screens and hanging curtains, and Wei Zhuang himself was also known as "a talented Qin woman chanting".It was eleven years after Wei Zhuang wrote "Qin Fu Yin" that he became a Jinshi.Most of the later persons in power were heroes who rose up in the process of "suppressing" Huang Chao's uprising. Sensitive words in "Qin Fu Yin" such as "The internal treasury was burnt to splendor ashes, and the sky street is full of the bones of the public", "Getting off the horse like a whirlwind, and emptying the room like rolling dirt" will touch the nerves of the upstarts. of.

Therefore, I am afraid that only after his famous works are forgotten, can he not be tabooed by officials and dignitaries.Wei Zhuang later served in Shu, and Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, was one of the generals of the official army at that time.As a taboo for the respected ones, Wei Zhuang naturally tabooed this poem and tried his best to avoid spreading it.In the "Family Commandments", he specifically asked his family members "not to hang the curtain of "Qin Fuyin"" and not to include this poem in his "Huanhua Ji". The author deliberately concealed it, which led to the loss of this poem. .

In the fourth year of Tiantian, Zhu Wen usurped Tang and established himself, and the country was named Houliang.Just as Wu Zixu was determined to destroy Chu and Shen Baoxu was determined to restore Chu, when Zhu Wen destroyed Tang, Wei Zhuang urged Wang Jian to proclaim himself emperor and fight against him. Wang Jian established the Kingdom of Shu, known as the former Shu in history.All the efforts made by Wei Zhuang itself are a clear proof of "recalling the past"! The setting sun is bloodied.The land of Shu is the fascinating south of the Yangtze River, and Chang'an is the heartbreaking gateway to which one cannot go back.

Whether, when we begin to remember, already aware of irretrievable loss.Whether it is "Qin Fu Yin", "Recalling the Past", "Taicheng", or his poems about Jiangnan, all Wei Zhuang's poems are written to the past, scarred and affectionate love letters.Trying to stay, telling the sadness in my heart! The reason why Wei Zhuang's poems resonate is because he felt sad and lingering in his heart when facing the past, and he did not hide how sad he was to escape.Remember but not complain, complain but not get angry.Sadness is a kind of agitated, warm and sad feelings. Reminiscing about the past is his uncontrollable behavior. The former dynasty has become a mirage, and there is no longer the sound of oars, lights, shadows, and water here.In the cool night and heavy frost, there are no longer red sleeves to add fragrance.Even though he later held a high position as the former prime minister of Shu, deep down in his heart, he had shortcomings.What I am still nostalgic for is the era when the brocade clothes piled up with snow, the prosperity was like a dream, and the pride was overwhelming. Bi Taohua has a cold, and time is a nightmare.Even if the time is not easy, the dream must persist.He stubbornly kept his soul and buried it in the previous dynasty. He said: The walls are filled with deep spring grass, and when you are hurt, you are even more sad when you are hurt. Where are the traces of the chariots and horses now? There is nowhere to find the Twelve Jade Towers. There are still some past events that cannot be let go. ——In fact, he is not the only one who is sad?Buried in the ashes of time are people who were active in a once glorious era. Wuling Youshao, who once waved a jade whip and stepped on flowers into a wine shop, is so frivolous and frivolous that people are fascinated and envied.The West Garden is desolate, the son is old, and the southern country is withered and beautiful.There are no longer silver candles burning high all night here, and the green peach blossoms wither like tears in the dark night.Even if high-rise buildings are raised again and dignitaries gather again, but the feelings are dead, and the present is not as good as it used to be. As I write this, I think of two lines of poems written by Huang Zhongze of the Qing Dynasty for no reason: "The towers of Yizhu are always like a dream, and people's affairs always turn to ashes." All the singing and dancing people have disappeared in time. This feeling of loss is similar to Wei Zhuang's "Ode to the Peach in Front of the Court", which was expressed by the peach blossom: Once wandered to Taoyuan, and also sailed on a fairy boat with the fisherman. It is said that a thousand trees in the cave are better than a tree in front of the courtyard. Bringing dew is like weeping down the tears of a Hunan girl, and being speechless is like accompanying the sorrow of Gui. Rao Chunhen, son of Wuling, don't lead the fragrance to the restaurant. No matter who lit that furnace of agarwood crumbs from the past, it will be infected with melancholy.Old love is like a dream, this word is so good that it makes people feel unwilling.All the dreams that wake up are reminding people who never forget... Life is like a wipe, and every day is new. Passage is like running water, those who want to go back to the past, open your eyes and see, there is no going back!
