Twenty years of hatred and hatred, now separated from the east and west. The emperor returned to his hometown in his spare time, and wrote a chapter for his neighbors in his twilight years. - Liu Zongyuan, "Farewell Dream".

Preface.

On April 26, 815, less than a month after Liu Zongyuan returned to Beijing, he was ostracized by the authorities, and was once again demoted to Liuzhou, where he was assassinated, and finally passed away. He was also degraded by his close friend Liu Yuxi, who was exiled for satirizing the court magnates with a poem praising the peach blossoms. The deep friendship between Liu and Liu seems to be the epitome of the literati friendship in the Tang Dynasty. The love of Yuan Bai and Han Meng's poetry friendship is mainly literary and artistic, while Liu and Liu take common hardship as the cornerstone and write the legend of the strongest CP in the Tang Dynasty.

How does Datang's strongest CP "practice"?

First, advance and retreat together in Yongzhen innovation.

Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi first entered their careers, and when they were twenty years old, they were involved in the battle between Wang Shuwen, an old minister of the East Palace, and Ju Wenzhen, a eunuch. Through the power of Wang Shuwen, Liu Zongyuan proposed a series of measures to abolish the palace market under the responsibility of eunuchs and recover the military power of the feudal town. However, this reform was as difficult to achieve as the problem of redundant officials in the Great Song Dynasty in the Qingli New Deal. The two kings and eight Sima incidents broke out, and Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi and other backbones were demoted to local Simas, and they went through the ordeal of "helping the world at the same time", and each of them "kept his own alone" in a remote place.

Second, singing and poetry in ten years of haggardness.

Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou, and Liu Yuxi was demoted to Langzhou, both of which are in today's Hunan. Living in difficult conditions, Liu Zongyuan was hit by the double blow of political turmoil and his mother's funeral, and gradually became depressed. Knowing that his friend was sick, Liu Yuxi worked tirelessly to say hello. In Liu Zongyuan's poems, the most common word is "Liu Twenty-Eight", highlighting the deep friendship between the two people who kept in touch with each other in different places. In addition to exchanging letters, Liu Yuxi also supported his friends in academic debates. Faced with the differences with Han Yu on the use of ancient Chinese, Liu Yuxi stood up in support of Liu Zongyuan, and did not hesitate to praise "his words are very good".

Third, the mutual pity and mutual salvation that has been degraded for the second time.

After ten years of wild life, Tang Xianzong recalled the two. However, because of a satirical poem by Liu Yuxi, he was hated by Wu Yuanheng and was demoted again. Liu Zongyuan knew that his friend's demotion was just an excuse, and his request to switch places with him was not allowed. Fortunately, with the help of Cheng Pei Du in the imperial history, Liu Yuxi changed from Banzhou to Lianzhou. Liu Zongyuan died of illness in Liuzhou, Liu Yuxi lost his best friend, sorted out the manuscript for him, raised his son, and realized Liu Zongyuan's wish.

Why did the literati in the Middle and Tang dynasties form the phenomenon of Yuanbai, Han and Meng?

1. During the formation period of the imperial examination, scholars with common educational backgrounds emerged.

During the Tang Gaozu period, it was stipulated that scholars could "vote for themselves" without the need for ** recommendation, which provided an opportunity for lower-class scholars to recommend themselves. Jinshike emphasized poetry and songs, and achieved a large number of scholars with common educational backgrounds. Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi were both young scholars, and they were both young scholars, and they became officials, which laid the foundation for them to understand each other.

2. The special political environment of the Tang Dynasty created a cultural base for literati.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were dictatorial and the national strength declined. Readers of this era are nostalgic for the Tang Dynasty, but the realpolitik environment thwarts their ambitions. Literary schools such as the Guwen Movement and the Han and Meng Poetry Schools advocated by Liu Zongyuan became the rallying point of literati in political struggles. Liu, Liu and other literati quickly found like-minded people because of their similar educational, political background, and cultural gathering places, which conformed to the law of similar judgment.
