The poet saw the situation of the common people and wrote this masterpiece of simple languageIn 763 A.D., the poet Yuan Jie was ordered to go to Daozhou to serve as the assassin of the history, when he arrived in office, only to find that due to the war, the people here were only one-tenth of the original, and lived an extremely difficult life, so he wrote to the court to ask the court to give private houses, fields, and exempt from forced labor.
In the poet Yuan Jie's view, it can create such a situation, which has a lot to do with the imperial court, because of the continuous wars, so it requires a lot of expenditure, and these expenses need taxes, which requires local officials to go to the people to collect, which invisibly naturally increases the burden of the people. And after these officials arrived in the locality, they did not hesitate to torture and collect money in order to complete their tasks.
And the nature of this place in Daozhou, it is not rich, and there is not much food that can be provided, which is greatly beyond their ability to bear, and a ** with a little conscience will feel sad when they see this scene. Daozhou is a small place, but after repeated wars, the population has dropped sharply, and it is in extreme poverty.
A slightly larger township, with only ten households, had already become sparsely populated, and they had become thin and weak because they had grown hungry on grass roots and bark all day long, and they didn't even have the strength to walk, so they walked with a staggering step, which made people unbearable to look at directly. When the poet Yuan Jie saw this tragic scene, he couldn't even bear to catch up with him and ask about it, not to mention that he had to take whipping measures to collect taxes.
Even so, the clerks and officials who demanded the payment of taxes continued to come and go, constantly urging them. They didn't care about the lives of the people at all, they just thought about how to take measures to complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court. In order to complete the task, they can buy the second pulse rate, or they can raid the house to pay the rent, but they have nothing, but these methods are not advisable, because how can they live if they continue like this?
So listen patiently to what they have to say!Who can truly understand the grievances in their hearts?Just last winter, the ethnic minorities occupied Daozhou for a month, all the finances were looted by them, seeing this tragic scene, the poet Yuan Jie hoped that the imperial court could give favors, who knew that after this person managed to come here, he would be expropriated violently, which made the people's already difficult days worse, how did they live?
The imperial court asked the poet Yuan Jie to go to Daozhou to serve as the assassin, the purpose is to make the people's lives better, if they are afraid of continuing to expropriate and restrict, it is entirely possible for the people to embark on the road of **, who will bear the consequences at that time?Thinking of this, the poet decided to try to prevent the urging to expropriate, and even to be convicted despite the edict. He hoped that the imperial court would hear his opinion and make up his mind to reform the status quo and put the people in trouble. Thinking of this, the poet Yuan Jie picked up his pen and wrote the masterpiece "Lingling Xing":
The militarism needs a lot, and the responsibility lies in the division.
There are counties and counties, and the criminal law is eager to be enforced.
Isn't there a worry about supply?Expropriation and pathetic.
The state elementary school died in chaos, and the people left behind were really tired.
There are no ten families in Daxiang, and the fate of the big clan is single.
The morning meal is grassroots, and the evening meal is still woody.
He was speechless and slow.
It's unbearable to chase and call, but it's a whip!
The post booth passed the emergency charm, and the traces chased each other.
There is no leniency, but there is a period of urgency.
If you want to make your children, you are afraid to follow the words.
He asked for his family, but he had no resources.
Listen to the words of the other side, who will know who is resentful!
Go to the Winter Mountain Thieves and kill almost everything.
If you want to see the king, you will be raised with mercy.
However, it is not alive to be expelled!”
The destiny of the Son of Heaven is the life of the Son of Heaven, and I hold the runes.
The state and county are suddenly in chaos, who is offended?
If you delay the violation of the edict, you will be punished.
The former sages kept their points, and the evil moved away with misfortune and blessing.
Yiyun is an official, and he doesn't like to be timely.
Gu Wei is weak, and integrity should not be lost.
Whoever adopts the national style, I want to offer this speech.
