Gift to Wang Lun
【Tang】Li Bai
Li Bai was about to go on a boat, and suddenly heard the sound of singing on the shore.
The Peach Blossom Lake is thousands of feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun to send me love.
During the Tang Tianbao period, the poet immortal Li Bai traveled all over the world and became famous all over the world.
At that time, the Xuancheng area of Anhui Province was famous for its beautiful Jiangnan landscape and profound cultural heritage, attracting countless literati and artists.
At this time, Wang Lun, the county commander of Jing County, had heard that Li Bai was full of talent and poetry for a long time, and he admired Li Bai's poems, and his heart was full of deep admiration.
When he learned that Li Bai intended to go south to visit the land of southern Anhui, Wang Lun suddenly had an idea in his heart: why not take this opportunity to invite this great poet to his hometown as a guest, so as to increase the interest of the countryside and talk about the joy of poetry and wine?
So, Wang Lun carefully designed an ingenious invitation letter, in which he wrote: "Mr. is so traveling? There are ten miles of peach blossoms in Jing County, my township, and the flowers are like a brocade; There are also 10,000 hotels with mellow wines, which are enough to enjoy the pleasure. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Bai couldn't help but be fascinated when he read it, and immediately decided to go to Yi**.
Soon Li Bai came to Wang Lun to drink and enjoy the peach blossoms, but he was disappointed, Wang Lun smiled and said: "Sir, I'm sorry, we don't have ten miles of peach blossoms, only a ten-mile long peach blossom pond, and there are no ten thousand hotels, only a hotel surnamed Wan Kai." ”
Wang Lun's frankness made Li Bai laugh, and he stayed there for a few days with the mentality of being at ease when he came.
In the following days, Wang Lun did his best to treat Li Bai warmly, every day or on the peach blossom pool, enjoying the rippling blue waves, talking and laughing;
Or in the Wanjia Hotel, taste wine and food, and chant poetry. Between this green water and green mountains, the friendship between the two is getting deeper and deeper, as if the peach blossom pool is as deep as a thousand feet.
Before leaving, Wang Lun gave Li Bai eight horses and ten precious official brocades, in order to express his deep respect and reluctance to Li Bai.
The parting scene is even more unique and touching, Wang Lun did not choose the traditional way of farewell, but organized a grand singing and dancing send-off.
A group of local beauties sang and danced on the riverbank in a cheerful rhythm, conveying their blessings and farewell to Li Bai with their singing.
This scene deeply moved Li Bai, he was moved, splashed ink, and improvised the popular poem "Gift to Wang Lun", these four sentences have been praised through the ages, becoming the best portrayal of priceless friendship and poetry, and it is precisely because of this poem that Wang Lun can leave a name for thousands of years.
