Grain Rain's Tang poem "Sending Money to the Unnamed South"
Xu Hun, one of the most influential poets in the late Tang Dynasty, wrote an excellent Seven-Five Law, which was put forward by later generations to be as famous as Du Fu, the poet saint, and even said that "there are thousands of poems written by Xu Hun, and Du Fu will be worried all his life". Next, I'll bring you a Tang poem about Xu Hun, which is related to the Grain Rain season-"Sending money to the unnamed south". I hope you like it!

An unnamed mansion that bid farewell to the south.

Don Xu Hun

Song Zhijian looked at the river in the sunset through the wine column.

The road goes straight to the official early, the family is poor and there are many guests.

Mountain faint letter Grain Rain, wood fall Dongting wave.

I don't travel far, so the garden is deserted.

Brief introduction of the author

Xu Hun (about 79 1 ~ about 858) used the word "hui" and "zhonghui". Originally from Anlu, Anzhou, he now lives in Runzhou, which is now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. Sun Xu VI, Prime Minister of Wuhou State. In the sixth year of Emperor Wenzong Daiwa (832), he was a scholar, and successively served as Dangtu and Taiping Order to avoid illness. During the middle-aged and elderly period, he joined the empire and asked for help because of illness. Later, he returned to his official position as Runzhou Sima. Li Yu transferred Yuan Wailang to Mu and Ying as the secretariat. In his later years, he returned to Dingmaoqiao Caotang in Runzhou and wrote a collection of poems, Ding Maoji. His poems are all close to the style, especially the five-seven rhythm, which is mature and steady in syntax and plain and unique in tone, and is called "Ding Mao Style". "Water" is often written in poems, so there is an irony that "a thousand poems of Xu Hun are wet".

Make an appreciative comment

My good friend Huaqiang Zhe, surnamed Ji, is from yanshi city, the hometown of Tang Priest. There is a mountain in Gou's family, which is said to be the place where Wang's ancestor Zhou Wang ascended to heaven by crane. Du Fu's "Three Scenes Invited by Sima Di" Part II: "Fan Lizhou is small, but Wang is not a group." Qu Yuan's trip: "Xuanyuan is unattainable. I have entertained myself since Wang Qiao." Li Bai: "I love Wang Ziqiao and I know Ilobin." I made an appointment with Huaqiang to be a "mountain man" for a few months and set up a monument for my ancestor Mr. Qiao.

I quite like the saying that "the avenue is straight into the official position early, and the family is poor and there are many guests". Generally, the literati of all dynasties are like this. Xu Hun wrote "water" in his poems, and later called it Du Fu, a poet saint, and evaluated it with the image of "Xu Hun's thousand poems were wet, and Du Fu was worried all his life". The masterpiece "East Building of Xianyang City", the sentence "Rain comes and the wind is full" comes from this poem.

However, because the meaning of "money dog" in the title is unclear, Huaqiang suspects that the "time shift" here is an official position and tells "Baidu has no solution".

After visiting two libraries, I finally found the original source and poetic interpretation of this poem (pictured). It turns out that "Wei Mingfu" is the official name of Wei, and "Ming Fu" is another name for secretariat or satrap. Wei family is a famous family in Tang dynasty, and five people call it "Weiming House in Lizhou".

In this way, Gou will never be a formal name. The annotation in Xu Hun's book Jian Zheng, Ding Maoji is: "Gou County, located in the south of Yanshi, Henan Province, is named after Gou Mountain." Since it is a place name, where does the word "money" in the title come from? This European syntax puts the attribute before the place name and position, which is rare in ancient Chinese. For example, "Former Prime Minister of Hefei" and "Former President of Xiangcheng Yuan" will not be used. Yes, this is also a different case.

In this way, the word "before" can only be in doubt.

Characteristics of poetry

Xu Hun is good at visiting ancient times. Famous works such as East Building of Xianyang City, Nostalgia for Jinling, Old Los Angeles, Cold Food on the Way, Lingge Terrace, etc., pursue the past of mountains and rivers, promote the past and the present, and are quite desolate and sad. But it is often limited to hurting the present and nostalgia for the past, which has no deep meaning. Read too much and you will inevitably fall behind.

His official tours, gifts and mourning works sometimes have good sentences, such as "The willow in the north of the Yangtze River was broken at once, and the Lingnan flowers bloomed on the boat" ("Sunset in the East Stream"), "The night wind fell on two rocks, and there were many spring rains all the way" ("Zheng Xiucai sent a letter to the East"), all of which can express their feelings in the writing scene, which is beautiful and ironic. However, shallow artistic conception and weak temperament are its common faults.

In addition, the academic circles say that Xu Hun is the author of the poem Qingming, which is controversial and needs to be verified.

There are about 500 existing poems, none of which are archaic. In modern times, most of them are five-character or seven-character metrical poems, which are round, steady, neat and precise, so that they are praised as "the familiarity of temperament is nothing like muddy" ("Tian Wen Gu Tang Huan's Essays").

However, some people criticized him for his "specialization and combination" and "overworking without taste" (Fang Hui's Lv Kuikui). Generally speaking, his epigrams appear in the second couplet, such as "Yun Qi Shen Ting" (a work called "The Valley") and "The water goes east, the city changes, the mountains come north, and the palace is high" ("Old Los Angeles"), but in the second half, it tends to be dull, and the meaning of each song comes back from time to time. He likes to change the tone at the end of the three sentences from "flat and flat" to "flat and flat" to show mutation and be imitated by later generations, which is called "Ding Mao Syntax".

There are two volumes of Ding Maoji, including the engraving of Jiguge in Ming Dynasty and the photocopies of four series. Han Fenlou photocopied the engraving of Song and Shu, entitled Anthology, and added two volumes. On the other hand, The Complete Works of 100 Poems of Tang Poetry included in this edition has a sequel 1, a supplement 1 and an external collection of poems 1, which is relatively complete.

The Whole Tang Poetry is divided into 1 1 volume, and a considerable number of poems are reproduced with those of Du Mu and others. For deeds, see Chronicle of Tang Poems and Talented Persons of Tang Dynasty.

Literary evaluation

Generally speaking, Xu Hun lacks conscious attention to reality and vigorous personality, and the idea of pursuing leisure and escaping from society is more prominent in his poems. Therefore, although he has also written many poems about history, such as "Elk in a deserted Taiwan strives for new grass, while an empty garden occupies shallow sand" ("Suzhou Nostalgia"), and "You don't have a foundation to visit a hall and open a cemetery without a wild pool" ("Lingyin Taiwan"), he does not criticize while sighing. Because of this, his poems are more passive and leisurely.

From an artistic point of view, it is precisely because he repeatedly lamented his personal situation and described his leisurely life that the content of the poem is monotonous, and although the technique is skillful, the artistic conception is easy to repeat. For example, the phrase "Birds disappear on the beach, but grass insects sing" ("Send Cui Zu in those days") and "Fish sink in autumn waters, but a yellow bird stays" ("Remembering Changzhou"), if decorated with birds, birds, insects and fish, may be fresh, but it is also too complicated.

The so-called "Xu Hun's thousand poems are wet" ("Tiaoxi Echoes" quoted Tongjiang's poems) is a satire that he always uses "water" and "rain" to form the realm of poetry, but later generations also agree with his own theme in this respect.
