Idioms"Eight windows"Originally referred to as a spacious and bright window, it was later a metaphor for being sleek and considerate. This idiom comes from Lu Lun's "Sending Yang Dezong to Peng Zulou Xuzhou Curtain" in the Tang Dynasty:"Four households and eight windows, Mingya pushes upward. The outer pillar is yellow bird, and the middle pillar is purple mushroom. The clouds and mist are always there, and the sound of trumpets is often heard. I can't help but admire Jun and the bright moon, and the tower is like a castle. "
The reason for use"Eight-sided exquisite"To describe the way of life of people, in fact, it has a lot to do with Lu Xun's own experience.
Lu Lun, whose name is Yunyan, is a native of Zhuozhou, Hebei. In the early 20s of the 20th century, during the Tianbao period, Lu Lun came to Chang'an, and like most scholars at that time, he was eager to pass the imperial examination and enter the official career. However, due to his poor family background and the impermanence of the world, Lu Lun had no money and no support, and his career was extremely bumpy, and he tried and failed repeatedly.
After Tang Dynasty Zong ascended the throne, Lu Lun went to Beijing again to take the exam, but failed again. Although he fell off the list, Lu Lun did not sink, but chose other ways to change his fate.
At that time, in addition to the imperial examination, there were two ways to enter the official career: one was to obtain fame, and then serve in the imperial court where fame was all over the world; The second is to make friends with the powerful, and then be recommended by the powerful to be directly appointed. Therefore, Lu Lun not only insisted on reading and writing poems, but also often participated in social activities to find a new path.
Thanks to Lu Lun's efforts, his social circle spread almost all over the palace and beyond.
In order to become famous, he actively interacted with like-minded middle and lower-class frustrated literati such as Lu Lun, Ji Zhongfu, Han Shide, Qian Qi, Sikong Shu, Mu Fa, Cuidong, Geng Tie, Xiahou Shen, Li Duan, etc., and sang and sang harmony"Dali Ten Scholars"。
In terms of making friends with the powerful, Lu Lun was proactive, only Bao Kuang, Li Gan, Lu Jin, Huangfu Wen, Zhang Jianfeng, Wei Dumou, Pei Yanling, Wang Yanchang, Xu Hao, Xue Yong, Zhao Huang, Li Shu, Bao Ji, etc., he not only made friends with Xiao Wei and other ministers of the dynasty, but also had many contacts with Zhang Gon, Li Mian, Qi Ying, Lu Zan, Yao Deng, Ling Huchu, Pei Jun and other prime ministers.
Through his relationship with the powerful, Lu Lun won the favor of Prime Minister Yuan Zai and Wang Jin, and achieved a certain status in the poetry, literary and literati circles. In the sixth year of the year (771), Yuan Zai recommended Lu Lun to Tang Xuanzong, and Lu Lun also invited Tang Xuanzong, so Lu Lun was able to replace Wenxiang Taiwei, and later courteous Wang Jin, and successively served as Jixian School Manager, Provincial Sima, and Supervisor of Imperial History.
But Lu Lun's career was not all smooth sailing. In March of the twelfth year of Kaiyuan (777), it is said that Yuan Zai and Wang Jin set up Jiao at night to plot against each other, Tang Xuanzong sent the two to prison for questioning, and finally Yuan Zai was sentenced to death, Wang Jin was demoted to the history of assassination, and Lu Lun was also imprisoned with the two, and was later dismissed.
After Tang Dezong ascended the throne, Lu Lun was reappointed as the judge of Zhaoying County. In the fourth year of Jianzhong (783), the Jingyuan Rebellion broke out, and Hongwei, the king of Xianning, summoned Lu Lun as a judge of the Marshal's Mansion. This period of military career not only made Lu Lun full of military style, tenacious and heroic poetic style surpassing others"Dali Ten Talents", also attracted the attention of Tang Dezong, and was promoted to the rank of official Langzhong.
But the turning point in Lulong's career came too late, and he ended his life before he could make a difference.
Although Lu Lun's life was not happy, he was able to meet many literati and scholars, as well as the court**, which is enough to prove that his relationship with the world is gentle, which can really be said"Good everywhere"。
