Tian Jiuling, born in the ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, is a native of Hefeng, Hubei. The first poet in the history of Rongmei Tusi, known as the originator of Tian's poetry school.
When he was young, because his brother Tian Jiuxiao was vicious, he conspired to seize the position of Tusi. In order to avoid fratricidal brothers, Tian Jiuling went to Xiangli and traveled all over China. He worshipped Huarong Sun Siyi Taishi as his teacher, received careful guidance, got to know Taishi's friends and protégés, and often sang and communicated with famous Han teachers, eunuchs, celebrities and literati in the Si Nei, absorbing the strengths of others, and gradually formed his own creative style.
Tian Jiuling's life has been bumpy, and his ideals have come to naught. He has no place in the division, no place in the Han District, and no career in the Han Dynasty, so he has to make a self-adjustment of "it is not easy to climb from the ancient Longmen, and the situation is thousands of miles away from the rivers and lakes". He traveled and made friends for fun, and left a large number of popular poems, among which there are nearly 50 poems that belong to the gift and the song, involving more than 40 people. Wuchang Wu Guolun, one of the "Later Seven Sons", wrote a preface to Tian Jiuling's "Zizhi Pavilion Poetry Collection", saying that it "blends with elegance and harmony in tone". In addition to a large number of outing poems, Tian Jiuling also composed nearly 30 ancient lyric poems, such as the poem "Ancient Meaning".
100,000 strange soldiers embraced the carving, and the autumn equinox was a night of sea waves. Insulting the many women in the south of the sky, the moon is still hidden Chang'e.
Tian Jiuling's original poems and essays were twenty volumes, which were destroyed in military disasters and civil strife, and his fifth great-grandson Tian Shunnian won the first place when he collected his grandfather's poetry collection.
Seven and eight volumes of each half, after cutting, only 58 seven-word poems, 47 seven-word quatrains, 8 five-word quatrains, a total of 113 poems, with the original name "Zizhiting Poetry Collection" engraved in the "Tian's Family Dialect".
Fortunately, in recent years, when the literary and historical workers of Hefeng and Wufeng counties were collecting and sorting out the historical materials of Rongmei Tusi, they found the "Tian Zishou Poetry Collection" engraved by Tian Shunnian's grandfather Tian Xuanming in Shanghai, which increased Tian Jiuling's poems from 129 to 534 in "Tian's Family Words".
