Three. The south of the Yangtze River is good, the scenery is old and familiar, the river water is as green as blue in spring, and the sunrise river flowers are red. Can not remember Jiangnan. The song "Remembering Jiangnan" records the fate of "Xiangshan Poetry Demon" Bai Juyi and Jiangnan.
Bai Juyi lived in Jiangnan for a short time when he was a teenager. In the second year of Zhenyuan, in 786 AD, due to the rebellion in the Central Plains, the young Bai Juyi once avoided the chaos and lived in Suzhou and Hangzhou. As an adult, Bai Juyi served as an official in Jiangnan.
In 822 AD, Bai Juyi asked to serve in other places, at this time Bai Juyi was 51 years old, Bai Juyi asked to be released in Hangzhou, and served as the assassin of Hangzhou, he was in Hangzhou for three years, and he really did things for the people. First of all, the six wells were dredged to ensure the safety of drinking water for the people, the embankment was repaired to store water, the flood of the West Lake was solved, and the fertile land was irrigated to benefit the people. He wrote these things as "The Stone Records of Qiantang Lake", and told future generations the methods of controlling the lake. Now, when people walk along the West Lake in Hangzhou, they may think of the poet who wrote "Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake", and in the poem "Gushan Temple is in the north of Jia Tingxi, the water surface is flat and the clouds are low", the great poet who walks slowly on the shore of Qiantang Lake emerges.
Walking on Shantang Street in Suzhou, there are many shops on both sides. At night, the moontop treetops, the Hui style building with black tiles and white walls looks very freehand, the faint crescent moon, the hazy moonlight, since the Tang Dynasty, to this day, at that time, there was a poet who once left a good name here.
In 825 AD, in the first year of Tang Baoli, Bai Juyi was appointed as the Assassin of Suzhou, and during Bai Juyi's tenure as the Assassin of Suzhou, he was lightly dispensed with, people-oriented, diligent in government affairs, "Qingdan Fangdui case, and retired from the public at dusk", the officials were diligent, cared for the people's livelihood, and gave the people the opportunity to recuperate. At that time, Suzhou, from the gate out of the west of the city, the river was silted, the pragmatic Bai Juyi incarnated as a water conservancy expert, presided over the excavation of a mountain pond river from the east of the gate and west to the tiger hill, and built embankments along the river, later, because of the convenience of water and land here, attracted many businesses to gather here, so far, there is "Bai Juyi Memorial Temple" in Shantang Street, and therefore, Bai Juyi is called "the ancestor of Shantang".
Li Bai once wrote a poem "Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March", although Yangzhou is "Jiangbei" in terms of geographical location, but in terms of cultural connotation, it can be regarded as "Jiangnan", and Bai Juyi, who has a deep affection for "Jiangnan", has also been to Yangzhou.
In 826 AD, Bai Juyi was ordered to be transferred back to Luoyang, passing through Yangzhou, in Yangzhou, he met with another great poet, that is, Liu Yuxi, who was known as "poet", Liu Yuxi was transferred back to Luoyang from Hezhou, the two met in Yangzhou and wrote poems and sang and, Bai Juyi wrote "Drunk Gift Liu Twenty-eight Envoys", "Liu Twenty-eight Envoys" refers to Liu Yuxi, Liu Yuxi wrote "Yangzhou First Encounter Lotte Banquet Gift". Jiangnan is an important site in Bai Juyi's life.
Four. I like Bai Juyi's leisurely and light poems or beautiful narrative poems, such as "Ask Liu Nineteen", "Flowers Are Not Flowers", "Twilight River Yin", "Remembering Jiangnan" and so on. The latter are such as "Song of Long Hatred" and "Pipa Girl".
In the early days, Bai Juyi took "helping the world" as his ambition, and belittled Jiangzhou as a turning point in his life.
In 827 AD, Bai Juyi went to Chang'an as a secretary and supervisor, put on a purple court dress, with a purple gold fish bag, and later transferred to the criminal department as a waiter, and was named a male in Jinyang County. In 829, he was reassigned to the prince's guest division and returned to Luoyang. Bai Juyi was first appointed as Henan Yin, and later dismissed Henan Yin, and then appointed as the prince's guest division. In 835, he was appointed as the assassin of Tongzhou, resigned from his post, and remained in Luoyang. In the middle, he stopped for a while, and in 842, he was given a half-salary by the secretary of the criminal department.
After Bai Juyi returned to Luoyang, although he still held different official positions, but in a semi-retired state, began his hidden Buddhist life, in addition to indulging in wine, he also sent his love to the landscape, he built a big house in Luoyang, planted flowers and plants, raised a kabuki who can sing and dance, and Liu Yuxi and other friends drank and wrote poems, and later, he scattered the kabuki, proofread, organize his own works, in his later years he became a devout Buddhist, and wrote a lot of Zen poems. He also used his wealth to dredge the rocky beach of the Longmen River to facilitate the passage of boats and his own travels. He got together with old friends and talked more about Buddhism. From the age of 58 to 75, Bai Juyi lived in the house of Luoyang Daofang, he believed in Buddhism, and often traveled around Longmen, especially Xiangshan Temple, which is also the reason why he was known as a Xiangshan monk.
Five. "Tsemadu Blue Creek, Shengyou Starts from Here", the camera switches, time is like water, from childhood to youth, from youthful and high-spirited youth to peaceful and indifferent twilight years, Xiangshan poet Mo Bai Juyi has lived his valuable life.
I still remember that time, because of the view of the Longmen Grottoes, I was able to roam the fragrant mountain, the night was vast, the wind blew, and I only felt that it was the ancient wind. Walking on the mountain, I thought to myself, how many famous people have passed there?The leisurely and peaceful Xiangshan poet demon, will he suddenly jump out of the poetry collection?He sometimes still walks slowly on this fragrant mountain trail. In the dark night, time passed quietly, but the poet's story was still vivid and vivid.
