Bai Juyi and his hit red face .

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-29

During my school days, I listened to my teacher tell stories and memorized two poets. One is Li Bai, who "as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron rod is sharpened into a needle", and the other is Bai Juyi, who has to read it to the old woman of the village after writing a poem.

There were many poets in the Tang Dynasty, but there were only three people who really deserved the title of "greatness": the poet immortal Li Bai, the poet saint Du Fu and the poet demon Bai Juyi. Bai Juyi, who can be ranked alongside Li Bai and Du Fu, will certainly not be an ordinary person. It is said that he wrote many poems and wrote more than 3,000 poems in his lifetime;It is said that he was a very big official, and the highest was the squire of the criminal department, and after his death, he was presented by the imperial court as the right servant of the Shangshu, that is, the prime minister.

Today, I will talk about Bai Juyi, but not about his poems and official orders about the women in his life.

Many people know that Bai Juyi has a good friend named Yuan Zhen, and the two of them are called "Yuan Bai". But Yuan Zhen is a standard scumbag, and some people may think that Bai Juyi, who is mixed with a scumbag, is not good to go.

That's not really the case.

It's hard to believe that Bai Juyi got married very late, and he didn't get married until he was 37 years old under his mother's pressure, which was incredible in the feudal era. You may ask if this guy looks very stumbling and is more scary than dinosaurs, or has physical problems, or is it just a psychological problem, what kind of unmarriageism is pursued?

Neither. It's not because of poverty, Bai Juyi's grandfather and father are both officials, although the officials are not big, but they should have nothing to do with poverty;Judging from the words that have been handed down, Bai Juyi may not be a beautiful man, but he is certainly not ugly, and he may be the same as you and meOf course, Bai Juyi, who can write hand-me-down works, is not mentally retarded or **, there is only one reason, his mother Chen.

I'm afraid we have to start from the roots.

Bai Juyi's mother, Chen, is actually Bai Juyi's cousin and his aunt's daughter. In other words, his father Bai Jigeng married his sister's own daughter - his uncle married his niece's daughter, even in the open-minded Tang Dynasty, he was a bit deviant, so Bai Juyi was very secretive about this.

Chen had just turned 16 years old when he married his uncle, Bai Jigeng was 42, 26 years older than his niece - that is to say, Bai Jigeng was already 26 years old when his sister gave birth to his niece, which was already past the age of marriage, why did he delay getting married?His niece had just turned 16 years old, and Bai Jigeng was in a hurry to marry him, could it be that this uncle had been waiting for his niece to grow up?What are the secrets in this that cannot be put into words?

There should be, and the information I got from the Internet search has a very meaningful sentence: Bai Jigeng only married one woman in his life - ancient men, especially slightly famous men, paid attention to three wives and four concubines, why did Bai Jigeng only marry a niece?

I think of two idioms from this: the heart has no distractions, and the love is not in the house.

Who belongs to whom?You guess, I can't tell you, and if you really can't guess anything, I remind you that you can contact the second idiom.

You might want to slap your thighs, oh my God, how can this be, wouldn't it be messy if you really wanted you to say that?

It's not a niece who is just married. Wen Jiang and Qi Xianggong's flowers that have been written into history are called **.

Back to the topic, Bai Jigeng, who was a father, got married at the age of 42, and Bai Juyi, who was a son, didn't get married until he was 37 years old

No. Bai Juyiqing's early age was not late, he was 11 years old when he went to his father's place of work and met a girl next door named Xiang Ling, who was only 7 years old that year. The two can be described as childhood sweethearts, when the love first opened, they had a secret love for each other, Bai Juyi was 19 years old this year, and Xiang Ling was 15 years old. Bai Juyi also wrote a poem to praise Xiangling.

Wan Ting fifteen wins the heavenly immortals, and Chang'e is a dry land lotus in the daytime.

Where to teach parrot language, embroidery in front of the bed under the blue screen window.

Bai Juyi's "Neighbor Girl".

The poet is really sensual when he talks about love, you see what he praises Xiang Ling into: the fairy in the beautiful race sky is simply Chang'e descending to earth as pure as a white lotus ......Reading this poem, we can fully imagine how happy Bai Juyi is, Xiang Ling's every move, smile and smile makes his heart shake like a fool!Perhaps when writing this poem, Bai Juyi must have thought that the most beautiful thing in this world is to be with Xiang Ling every day, accompanied by his ears and temples day and night. Who knew that his mother Chen resolutely disagreed, and the mother and son had a tug-of-war stalemate for nearly 20 years!

Nearly 20 years have passed, from 19 to 37 years old, how precious this man and woman in love are, but under Chen's obstruction, the love between Bai Juyi and Xiangling can only be tormented in the stalemate between mother and son.

To say that this Bai Juyi is really a good man, and his love for Xiang Ling is dedicated enough, from this point of view, although Xiang Ling failed to enter the Bai family, he is lucky enough, just imagine that if he meets Yuan Jiu is a scumbag like Yuan Jiu who "sees one and loves one, loves one and throws one", wouldn't the ending be as sad as Cui Yingying?Chen, who is a mother, is really stubborn and strong enough!Just because he disliked Xiangling's humble background, he refused his son's request to marry again and again, and would rather let his son suffer for 20 years than fulfill the young man's love dream.

I sometimes maliciously speculate that maybe this Chen family has a knot: Your father Bai Jigeng was 42 years old when he married me, and you are not yet 40

Bai Juyi has never given up his efforts, but it's a pity that he is more stubborn and stubborn as a mother. But Bai Juyi never let go of Xiangling in his heart, and even fantasized that one day he would move his mother to give him a happy ending. At the age of 27, Bai Juyi failed in the imperial examination, and for the sake of family life and his own future, he had to leave Fu to leave his uncle in Jiangnan. Along the way, he wrote three poems for Xiang Ling.

The tears in the eyes are cold, and he turns back every time he passes through a high place. Knowing that after saying goodbye to the west floor, you should worry alone by the railing.

"Sending Xiang Ling" is cold in the middle of the night, and he can't sleep alone. The incense burns out, and the tears turn into ice. In order to cherish the shadows, the lights will not be turned off all night.

The concubine lives in the north of Luoqiao, and the king lives in the south of Luoqiao. Fifteen is acquaintance, and this year is twenty-three.

I am willing to be a distant beast, walking side by side. I am willing to be a tree in the deep mountains, and the branches are connected with the trees.

At the age of 29, Bai Juyi was finally admitted to Jinshi. He felt that he could finally make the decision for his marriage, so he immediately replied to Fu and begged his mother to fulfill him and Xiang Ling for nearly 10 months, but unfortunately his mother still refused because of Xiang Ling's humble door. The pain in Bai Juyi's heart was all condensed into a song "Life and Parting":

It is not easy to eat barberry, it is difficult to eat plums, and barberry can be bitter and sour. It is not as difficult as being born, and the bitterness is in the heart and sour in the liver.

Life parting, life parting, worry comes from it without breaking. Extremely worried, the blood and qi failed, and he grew gray hair before the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Even after more than 1,200 years have passed, when we read this poem again, we will still shed tears for the sadness and helplessness in Bai Juyi's heart - it is not easy to eat barberry, it is difficult to eat plums, and barberry can be bitter and sour. It is not as difficult as being born, and the bitterness is in the heart and sour in the liver.

In addition, there is also a song "Hidden Farewell" that also writes about Bai Juyi's inner anguish of being unable to save love:

Don't cry, don't dive away. Speechless, secretly lovesick. No one knows beyond the two hearts.

The solitary bird is locked in the deep cage at night, and the sword is broken in spring. Although the river is turbid, there is a clear sun

When the aconitum is black and white. Only the subtle and secret parting, willing to each other without a late stage.

Despite this, Bai Juyi did not start a new relationship and still misses Xiangling day and night - not to mention the feudal era, even today's loyal and dedicated man like Bai Juyi is really rare. During this period, he wrote "Winter Solstice Night with Xiang Ling", "Feeling Autumn and Sending Away" and "Sending Far Away" to send his thoughts about Xiang Ling:

There is no reason to see the glamorous quality, and the cold is not amiable. He can be the longest night, and he is a lone sleeper.

Winter Solstice Night Huaixiang Spirit".

The melancholy season is late, and the two are in the same love. Where the worries are not separated, the garden trees are in the autumn wind.

The swallow shadow moves back to the wings, and the fragrance is gone. The best period and the best year are empty.

Feeling Autumn Sent Far Away".

We know that the long narrative poem "Song of Long Hatred" was written a few months before Bai Juyi's marriage, and the pain in it is self-evident, because marriage means that the love with Xiang Ling, which has been running for nearly 20 years, is completely shattered. I don't know if Bai Juyi thought of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei because of his love tragedy with Xiangling, or if he wanted to use the love tragedy between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei to relieve his inner pain, the biggest possibility is that he integrated his own experiences and emotions when he wrote "Song of Long Hatred", and it is precisely because of this that the emotions of "Song of Long Hatred" are more abundant and full.

In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch.

The days are long and sometimes endless, and this hatred lasts forever.

These sentences are not so much written to Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, but rather to use the love of these two people to write the eternal regret that he and Xiang Ling fell in love with!In 808 AD, Bai Juyi was 37 years old, and when his mother forced him to die, he married Yang Rushi's cousin. Walking on the red carpet of marriage with loud drums, does anyone know Bai Juyi's sorrow at this time?Maybe when he was kneeling down with the bride, he might be in a trance and the sister Xiangling next to him who had known him at the age of seven or eight and had been in love for nearly 20 years, right?

In the love story of Bai Juyi and Xiangling, this "Night Rain" obviously cannot be ignored, this poem was written in the 10th year of Yuanhe, that is, in 811 AD, Bai Juyi was 40 years old and had been married for three years. But judging from the content and emotional depth of the poem, the distant man in the poem must be the Xiang Ling that Bai Juyi missed:

I miss people, and I am far away. I felt something, and it was in my bowels.

The township is far away, and there is no day to see. The intestines are deep and unsolvable, and they don't think about it every day.

Love in the world is probably like this, the more you love and can't forget, the longer the time, the clearer and warmer the shadow of first love.

In 811 AD, the 44-year-old Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou, and this demotion had a great impact on him, which can almost be called a "watershed". The reason for being degraded is ostensibly because of his mother, but the fundamental reason is officialdom - never being a villain is often slandered by villains, and hating adulterers is the easiest to attract adulterers and frame them: this is simply a paradox and curse of life. During this demotion, Bai Juyi happened to meet Xiang Ling's father and daughter who were wandering outside, and Xiang Ling was 40 years old at this time and was still unmarried.

Do you know what I remember?

The two lines of the poem "Pipa Xing" sounded in my ears: The same is the end of the world, why should we have known each other!

There is a writer who said that there is a shadow of the author in the text of every work, and this is very profound!

The poem is written about the Pipa Girl, but it is clearly Bai Juyi and Xiang Ling, and it is not only the Pipa Girl who has fallen to the end of the world, but also Xiang Ling, including Bai Juyi himself!The first love that he has loved for many years in a complete family has drifted all over the world, and his temples are haggard and dyed with frost, which makes Bai Juyi embarrassed:

I comb my white hair to add new hatred, and I sweep away the moths to reduce the old appearance.

should be blamed by the people, and the young people will meet each other at an old age.

Encountering the Old (1).

At the age of fifty-three, Bai Juyi made a detour on his way back to Luojing after the expiration of his term in Hangzhou-please note that it was a "detour", why a detour?Take a detour to **?Fu Li has a special meaning to Bai Juyi's life: it was the place of his first love, the place where he met Miss Xiangling, and the sweetest dreamland in his life!Although it was forty years in a flash, he still couldn't forget that place!Take a detour to explore, to miss or long to meet again?I can't tell. What's even more melancholy is that he never saw Xiangling's figure again, and the farewell on the Xunyang River turned out to be ...... forever

After being demoted in Jiangzhou, Bai Juyi has undergone tremendous changes in both officialdom and private life: the politically radical and persistent Bai Juyi has become more and more Buddhist and withdrawn from the whirlpool of officialdom, and his personal life has also seen a lot of love between men and women - so a dedicated good man has become like this, I really doubt that it is influenced by his good brother and his good brother Yuanzhi!

In his later years, Bai Juyi transformed his love for Xiangling into prostitute poetry. Whether it is Hangzhou or Suzhou, Bai Juyi has raised many domestic prostitutes, indulging in poetry, wine, landscapes and beauty.

A man is a teenager until he dies. This is really true, in every man's heart, no matter how old he is, there will always be a shadow of an 18-year-old girl in his heart. Among the many prostitutes, there are two more famous ones, Tang Mengdi's "Ability Poems, Sense of Things" contains:

Bai Shang Shuji Fan Su is good at singing, prostitutes are good at dancing, and they taste as poems: cherry Fan Sukou, willow small waist.

When Bai Juyi was in his sixties, he suffered from wind disease and paralysis, so he sold his beloved horse named "Camel" and sent Fan Su away to marry. But his horse roared and could not bear to leave. Fan Su also cried sadly and said: "The master has taken this Luo for five years, and he will not be shocked." Ten years of amateur affairs, between the scarves, there is no violation and no loss. Although the appearance is ugly, it has not decayed. ......Once the double goes, there is no return. Therefore, Su will go, and his words will be bitter;Luo will go, and his song will also mourn. This person's affection is also, and the horse's affection is also, how can the lord be ruthless?”

But when Bai Juyi was 70 years old, Fan Su and Xiaoman still left.

Bai Juyi was stunned, and he thought about it all the time:

In the small building of two willows, Na Na has been with the drunkard for many years, and after returning tomorrow, there should be no spring breeze in the world.

In March of the fifth year, the end of the day, the guests scattered and the feast was empty;Illness and Lotte live together, and spring returns with Fan Su for a while. ”

Legend has it that Bai Juyi also wrote a poem "Sauvignon Blanc Bianshuiliu" specifically for Fan Su.

Bianshui flows, Surabaya flows, and flows to Guazhou Gudutou. Wu Shan was a little worried.

One is a white-haired old man of nearly seventy, and the other is a young girl of less than twenty, but the emotions in their hearts seem to erase the traces of time, and they only pass on each other's concerns and advice to each other.

Think about it, hate it. Hate to return to the time to rest, Mingyue people leaning on the building. "Acacia is sincere, and when lovesickness reaches the depth of indissolvable and elimination, it becomes hatred, whether it is thinking or hating, it is endless, lingering and endless, and the effect of lingering and reciprocating is strengthened. There is no goodbye to today, so this is said that the pain and pain cannot be relieved, unless the lover is returned to him, but this is obviously impossible, so this pain and pain are destined to be irresolvable.

On the night of the bright moon, I could only climb the tall building alone, and look at the railing, what to look at?Of course, it's looking at the moon in the sky, thinking about you in the distance.

It's a pity that Mochizuki doesn't know, and you can't hear from me if you miss you, so only a lonely gray-haired old man is left in front of the railing under the bright moon!

Later, there was a great poet named Fan Zhongyan in the Song Dynasty, who wrote "The bright moon building is high and receding alone, and the wine turns into lovesick tears".

It's possible.
